hello world i have a strange issue with go contacts ex app. since changed from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 (it's not a ROM problem) and i create a new contact in go contact ex app, syncing with google account is no longer possible. i get an error "temporary no sync possible ..." but only on syncing contacts. calendar, emails, pictures and so on work fine.
so it's neccessary to delete contact-storage data and google account manager to fix this problem but after create a new contact this error come back. i found out only with stock app is it possible to create a new contact and sync with google account without problems. modify or delete a contact in go contacts ex app is always possible without a sync error.
have anyone else this problem and if so what is the solution? is there a solution? to fix this behavior temporary i create a new contact in stock app.
i feel so lonely no one else with the same rumble in the jungle?
go contacts
I updated my sensation to 4.0 and how go contacts will not display Facebook contacts and it will only show pictures of contacts stored on phone.
I have exactly the same problem: but it's not clear for me how do you manage to solve it (partially)?
Im having the same problem, but for me I even if i clear contact storage i cannot sync... this is really annoying. Im on SGS3 LTE stock rom with root and cwm recovery

i have the same problem , could it have anything to do with the fact that FB changed everybody's email address to a @facebook.com ?
I had same problem after putting ICS 8.3 , but i used .vcf on my sd card. I just copied contact.apk back on system/app and install it again. And now i have all my contacts back and running
I have the EXACT same problem with the EXACT same workaround on a stock Galaxy S3.
I've tried populating/not populating various contact fields with no luck thinking that it might be some type of corrupt data issue. Anyone know if this is a confirmed problem with Go Contacts Ex?

I too had this problem on a Galaxy S3. Every time I added or removed a contact in Go Contacts it broke the Google contact sync. I replaced Go Contacts with ContApps and the problem went away.

Just use Friendcaster and problem is solved...
Just found this thread via Google. I'm running CyanogenMod 9 on a Samsung Rugby Smart, but I think I found a work-around. I removed the default setting I had applied to Go Contacts, went into the regular contacts, and then went into Sync and manually synced my contacts. I think it worked, but verification would be great.
I have the exact same problem and my solution was to just stop using Go Contacts EX. I tried deleting my google account and readding it, only to find my newest contacts gone. I got tired of trying to figure out why it didn't work and decided I could go without Go Contacts EX. Not the best solution, but at least my contacts sync between my phone and google now.

Thanks Nixolay, your app works great! It scanned my contacts and found 2 issues. What exactly is the issue go contacts is making?
Same here
I have just realised today, after about 3 weeks, and after some testing, that Go Contacts Ex breaks my contact syncing for my Google account. Once broken the only way I found to fix it is to uninstall it, remove and then re-add my Gmail account. I like the product but backing up my contacts is more important.

Try the "Contact Sync Fix" app
You also have an option to automatically check contacts error when phone is powdered ON

This is an issue well known from go team as it has been reported many time.
I don't understand why they don't fix it.
Many users stop using this nice app just because of this issue

Hi,
Yesterday the weirdest thing happened on my JB GNex for the first time.
My hotmail contacts and calendar entries have disappeared. Email is fine and using the stock email client with stock OS and unrooted International GSM version phone.
Anyone else experienced this & managed to find a fix?
PS. Temporarily managed to fix by going to settings/apps and clearing the data but next morning all disappear again...

well my girl friend had the same problem on her Galaxy nexus,
and every time i had to remove the Hotmail account and then add it again for the contacts to appear.
but it kept happening to her phone and it never happened to mine.
but after 2 months of this SH*T i decided to add her account to my phone so i'll have her contacts if they disappear and there is something urgent.
so i did add her Hotmail, and after 12hours this SH*T started happening to me too, even when i totally removed her account and mine.
it happens twice everyday.
the only thing i wanna do now is not just restore the phone to default settings, but totally flash a new firmware and clear all cache and try again but i have a lot on my phone to backup.
Wow that's pretty crap - temporarily, I cleared the cache/data under settings/apps which forces the contacts to reappear then did a local export and now I'm importing them at least once or twice a day...its the lamest work around ever if your workaround does work can you let me know pls?

Me Three
I'm (not) glad to see others are having this problem too.
I may be in the wrong thread running a Galaxy S2, but this recently started happening to me. I thought it was a combination of new ROM/Kernel (recently switched to Siyah 3.3.d) but have had this same problem with CyanogenMod 9 on both the Kernel they ship as well as Siyah. With Siyah running with Dual Boot and just a single ROM.
Clearing App data for Calendar, Calendar Storage, Contacts, Contacts Storage sometimes helps, but this is getting really annoying.
Does anyone know what the root cause is? I've considered going back to Stock Carrier ROM just to see if this keeps up. I've gone back to backups from weeks ago (when I don't think this was happening) and it now happens. Don't know what else to try.
Hey,
i totally restored to 4.1.1 locked back the phone just in case, and it still happened.
then i unlocked, restored to 4.0.4, no rooting, and it still happen.
i think my hotmail account got "infected" when i added my girlfriend's account.
anyone please help.
anyone has this problem with google mail ?

I've been having this issue too - from searching for answers it appears to be a bug with hotmail.
Some people have reported having success with changing the server to debug-m.hotmail.com, or xxx-m.hotmail.com (where xxx is the three letter server code assigned to your hotmail account). Neither of these solutions has worked for me.
I'd love to know what else people have tried.
I habe exactly the same Problem. Habe also tried setting up a different Server. Anyone Wirth a fix?

When I restored the phone on Fri I did it without restoring settings and no luck there in fact today its gotten worst I lost them already three times - this is sooooo annoying now...if its a bug with hotmail is certainly not affecting my mrs iPhone and probably not even windows phone either.

OMG.
Thank you guys SOOO much for putting this up. I thought it was just me!!!! I was about to post a thread of my own on this!
Yes, I've been having this issue all of last week. I thought it was my phone and or ROM configs. I can confirm that it's happening on all ICS ROMs. I tried 10 different ROMs, all 100% clean installs. As a matter of fact, I just finished loading Paranoid Android ROM, which is a JB ROM, in hopes that it resolves it.
My Hotmail account is set up as an Exchange account. Randomly, out of nowhere, all contacts, calendars, and emails are cleared, and it has to redownload itself. This is potentially disastrous as I depend very heavily on my Hotmail calendar.
Does anyone have any idea what's happening and what we can do to solve it?

After much research, it seems that this is a huge problem with Hotmail that started occurring mid May. I still haven't seen a concrete response from Microsoft regarding this issue.
Last night I deleted the email account under the stock email app and downloaded the free hotmail app from the app store...so far the contacts are intact ...if they disappear again I will update my post.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
OK they disappeared again, apparently the Google settings have nothing to do with this, its definitely Hotmail.
So i temporarily imported my contacts and switched to gmail it was easy because i already use Google calendar i only use Hotmail for email and contacts.
I already tried switching the m.hotmail.com server but i read that some hotmail users where switched to new servers, so maybe this is the problem.

I have seen this happening on my wive's, brother's and my Galaxy Nexus.
All of us have updated to JB.
I have solved this issue with exporting my Live-contacts and importing them to my Google Account.
I will use my Galaxy S3 from now on and my wife wife asked for a new phone, she's more impatient but will get the S3 now anyway.
I think Google does not like Microsoft anymore due to latest lawsuit results.
Anywho I blame Jellbean. :crying:

I can confirm that this is a problem on all ICS/JB ROMs and is therefor not related to a ROM.
now suddenly even my calender items disappeared as well - this is getting really annoying now - will export/import them to google again until MS has sorted this out. anyone reported this already in a MS forum or blog? if not maybe we should do that.
I'm having the same issue here. I was having the issue with the stock ICS ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I rooted and flashed the BB Jelly Bean ROM but the problem is still happening. When I delete the account and add it back it syncs. But then the next day the contacts disappear. When I create the account I put in m.hotmail.com. But the next day when I look it says col-m.hotmail.com. I don't think this is the issue, but I also saw comments to try changing to this. It seems to be happening automatically.
Anyway, I noticed that when I go into Hotmail and edit a contact and save it, it syncs. I don't know how long that contact will stay on my phone. So it seems to me that it could be related to identifiying which contacts to synch. I tried changing the synch frequency but that didn't work either.
Does anyone know which Microsoft Hotmail forum we should post this?
- I installed the Hotmail Microsoft + 7 app. I now have my contacts again. I'm not sure if this will work long term. I tried using the app and it crashed, so I plan on continue to use the built in Android mail app. But hopefully the Microsoft app will allow me to synch my contacts. If this doesn't work, I think I'll import them into Google to have as a backup copy.

I've had the app since last night and for me all contacts and calendar entries have stayed put and not disappeared once. I will stick with the app for a while but would like to go back to stock app if/when fixed.

I posted my issue on answers.Microsoft forum. The only response I got was to install the Microsoft App. I also would like the stock android app to get fixed, but I'm not sure if the issue is with Android or Microsoft.

Same problem on stock 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
I've got the same problem too on the official stock 4.1.1 Jellybean update. My contacts and calendar go completely missing and removing/adding the account only makes it work for a day or so and then it disappears again. Email still syncs fine.
As someone reported in this thread Hotmail is still working fine with their iPhone, and it is working fine with my Windows Phone... I'm pretty sure this is Google's fault. It makes my phone near useless, that's for sure.
This better get fixed soon! If someone finds or hears about a fix, post it here and let everyone know!
Hello. I just switched from Sprint to AT&T and I must say I love it. The only issues I am having is my Samsung account wont sync and Svoice wont sign into twitter. The Svoice issue is most likely non fixable. The samsung sync issue is aggravating. I have removed the account and even created a new one and it still wont sync. Anyone know of a fix or anyone having this issue. Right now it happens on both my wife and mines sgs3. Thanks for any feedback.
Well based on what I found the SVoice issue is due to Twitter and SVoice no longer being compatible. The Samsung account sync issue is still a issue though. Haven't been able to find anything on it. Becoming to think its an issue with the stock rom
I know back when I used to use GoContacts, I was having sync issues because I was doing my contact adding/deleting thru GoContacts instead of the regular People app. I had a fun time backing my contacts up to a file, deleting all my contacts in my Google account from a pc, then importing from the file. Mind you I was having sync issues with only my contacts, nothing else.

Yeah. This is with everything under the Samsung account. Currently I'm on an unrooted stock ROM and everything except for my Samsung account syncs just fine. But nothing under my Samsung account will sync
I'm having a hell of a time getting and answers from Samsung. Can someone running the stock firmware check and see if their Samsung account will sync. It's OK if it's a firmware issue. But I can't even get that from them.

im running stock, simplemobile carrier.. mine only syncs a few days... last sync was 3/4 2:53pm cant sync since then,.. sucks.. syncs sometimes,
I'm having a similar issue. I noticed this as soon as I updated to omega rom. I am with Bell. I am wondering if the reason for this is these custom ROMs are for S4's with a model number of i9505 but in Canada and AT&T the model number is SGH-I337? Does anyone know if the sync matches serial numbers to model numbers?
Other services such as Samsung's find my phone can see my phone even though it has a model num of i9505 now.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hello, not sure if this is a known issue, but i am noticing an issue when i look at my google accounts in settings. I have a galaxy s3 running cm10.1 and for the last few months it has said there has been a sync error in settings when i look at my google account. At the bottom of the page, it also says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Does anyone know what may be causing this, or how to fix it?
Thanks and have a good one.

As it been doing this on every update?
Or better question, when is the last time you updated? And when is the last time you've done a clean flash?
anyone else experiencing this issue? I am only showing 370/408 contacts. I tried to troubleshoot this with google and they couldn't figure it out. They reassured me that it would eventually sync.
Yup. Same issue, only on an OG Pixel XL.
yes, same issue, even reset phone twice now to try and get it to work
giving errors at time also if I try to add a new one.
Same here on smaller Pixel 2 on 8.1. WTF Google. Do they ever test their ****?
So I do frequent the Pixel 2 XL forum b/c I had one and returned it but looking to get another if the price drops. Point of me posting now though is that I am still using my 6P and having this issue as well. So looks like google messed up something. Luckily they released a december patch for 8.0 as well so I'm going to do that instead since I'm missing contacts that I frequently communicate with. No clue how they can mess up something so simple.
edit: also, my win10 laptop will not recognize the phone in MTP mode unless usb debugging is on. 8.0 didn't have that issue either. I did freshly flash twice and factory reset just in case but that made no difference with the contacts issue nor the MTP mode not working without USB debugging on.
Just a note, the issue exists on the 8.1 stable, and on the 8.0 stable. I don't think it's related to the update, it's an issue with contacts itself.

I found if you go to the old contacts UI web interface, you can select people in your circles from G+. At least for my contacts, everyone that had a linked G+ account had that profile URL in the contact entry.
I just got my Pixel 2 XL today, immediately flashed 8.1.....and I have this problem.
I exported all my contacts to csv, removed the profile columns, deleted all Gmail contacts, and re imported

Thank God for XDA, I was going nuts after noticing half of my contacts were gone, including my wife's, mom and brother. Thought it was related to the 8.1 update but guess not. Hopefully we get a fix later tonight or tomorrow.
I have the same issue. Brand New Pixel... I thought it was defective. Just pulled it out the box and when it didn't sync I thought i had a major issue so I did the google support call and the rep told me it was a known issue and should be resolved in 1 to 2 days.
Funny, I was just noticing the same. And it's bad because one of the missing contacts is my wife! Lol
This is not a 8.1 or a Pixel issue, I tested it on a Nexus 5 on Marshmallow by removing and re-adding my account and it also happened there. Took me a few factory resets to finally figure it out cause I was setting up a new Pixel 2 XL by copying from another phone. I realized that as soon as the phone is copied all the contacts are there on the new phone, but after a contact sync some go away, so I just tuned contact sync off immediately after entering Android on first boot. I'm gonna wait it out until they fix it on their end.
