I've noticed lately that when creating new contacts on my Incredible, I don't have the option to create a GMAIL contact. When I try to add a new contact, there's a loading screen for something then where you put all the info. I have an unrooted Incredible with 2.2
Are you using a third party app for contacts? I just checked mine and it works even on CM7.
No I'm not using other contact apps. I've been using other messaging apps though.
Another question about a smartphone in general, could I use my Incredible as a prepaid phone because?

Sorry, I don't know anything about putting an Incredible on a prepaid service.
A search here or on google could yield results.
Back to your contacts problem. Could be a gmail sign in problem on your phone. Have you changed your password lately and signed into your phone with this new password?
Someone who knows more than me feel free to chime in!
Haven't changed my password yet, do I don't think that's the problem.
After I upgraded to stock 2.2 I noticed the people.apk was changed much. In 2.1 if it was a google contact you could assign custom Names to Numbers/emails and name the custom label. In 2.2 only custom is an option and can not rename the label. And in answer to your question on 2.2 creating a new contact would always default to creating a phone contact, I had to goto the drop down and pick the google account I wanted to add it too. If you are having problems, try removing and adding that account or clearing data. Have you tried with a different gmail account?
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.

I'm not sure is it spam or not - please let me know. I've created ad-supported free app that fixes what GO Contacts breaks. It's available in google play: Contacts Sync Fix.
Great App

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

Okay, I've searched extensively both here and on Google, and my powers of finding stuff have failed me. I'm finding a lot of similar requests, but none of them are asking exactly what I need. So, if I have somehow missed this somewhere, I apologize, but after two days of trying various search terms, I'm giving up and just asking.
I just bought the S3, and so far, I seriously love it. I just have one question that I can't seem to fix. The "me" contact pulled in my Google+ profile information, but it didn't pull in my Facebook data (I have the app, and have it syncing, and it works for everyone else) but more importantly to me, it's not syncing with my Google Contact for myself. My name is exactly the same, and the contact file is even linked to the Google+ profile. I even tried going in and making the same email address the default in both listings, but nothing seems to make them merge. The "Join Contact" option doesn't show up at all for the "me" contact, and when I try to join from the google contact listing, it doesn't give me the "me" contact as an option. I don't know if it's something I'm no doing right in the Google+ vs Contacts sync, since they each have a different profile picture and I can't seem to fix that either, but I have no idea if that's the same problem as getting my local profile contact to sync with my google contact, since the local is pulling from the G+ account. Gah. It's by no means a del breaker, it just drives me a little crazy to have duplicate information anywhere, plus, now I have to remember to update my own contact information in two places if I want it to show up for both, which is mildly irritating. Anyone have any ideas?
At the moment, I'm running stock rom, not rooted. I'll get around to rooting eventually, but to be honest I'm waiting to see who gets a working JB rom first, Samsung or Cyanogenmod, since I've had problems getting official samsung updates rooted, even with the stock rom, on other devices in the past. That being said, if the solution to my problem is to root and run a utility, I'm not above doing that either.
the problem is linked to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726677. if you enter your own phone number it should work.

I don't think that's the same problem. My number in the "about device" setting is correct. The phone knows what the number is. This is purely a Samsung TouchWhiz contacts thing - they have a "Me" contact that is stored separately on the phone from your Google contacts. That contact does not sync with Google or any other service, and thus far, I have found no way to merge it with a sync'd contact, or tell it to use a specific contact as "me" rather than create the new listing. I did find that you could link the "me" contact with a Google+ profile, so that's what I finally ended up doing. I deleted myself out of contacts, put the information in my Google+ profile as private, and linked that to "me". I even talked to Samsung tech support about it, and was basically told it was working as intended.

New Year, same Problem
Hi guys,
I know this thread is a little old but I am having this problem now using the Google phone app on Android L / unofficial CM12.
Anyone have a solution for either merging a contact to the "me-account" or just getting the system to recognize the number on my sim? (Settings / About phone / Status / My phone number -> Unknown)
Have a good one
Ok I was having the same issue with my galaxy s5. I fixed it by going into "connections" entering into my Samsung account and editing my profile to include my phone number. G+ now syncs with "my info" without issue
I have 3 problems that are really annoying me in G4.
1- can't find an option to save new contacts in Google contacts by default.
2- whenever I install WhatsApp I have duplicated numbers not in phone app but I do have them in SMS app (stock/yataa/handcent).
3- some contacts refuse to sync over bluetooth to my car. I tried to figure what's different between them and the ones who sync and can't find any common denominator.

For future reference to anyone with same problem, how I managed to solve them:
1-To use google contacts as default for new contacts you have to select to show only google contacts in the setting of contacts app.
2- This one took a bit of time but after using this app to delete duplicated numbers within same name it was solved. You need the pro version. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.makelifesimple.duplicatedetector&hl=pt_PT
3- Found this one in a French forum. It seems like this is been an issue when using some roms with Renault and Mazda systems. You also need this pro version. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android_rsap.irmc&hl=pt_PT
Hope it helps someone... Was getting desperate!
I think a lot of people are noticing this issue. Contacts are not syncing with Google Contacts.
I want to ask about the solution or any existing workarounds available?

This issue affects several "selected" devices including Pixel 2, LG, Xiaomi, OPPO, etc. It happens since last December.
Please refer to the following links for SEVERAL options of workaround:
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUsvppHswBNJUQ/?hl=by
My unit has successfully sync all 100% contacts (ie 830 contacts) starting last week. What I did was creating a new "label" and assign all 830 contacts to this new "label". This method may or may not work for any of you. You need to try all the methods ppl suggested in the link I've provided earlier.
It has nothing to do with P2. It's on the Google's server problem which Google admitted.

On the google forum, it was mentioned that there is some issue due to Google plus links getting added to contacts. The solution was to delete the Google plus url from contacts. However, this did not work for me on Stock firmware. I was able to sync contacts for few days by doing factory reset but the issue surfaced again. On Lineage OS, I am not facing this issue. I checked adding contacts on some other phones as well (Xiaomi Redmi note 4, One Plus 3T, Asus zenfone 4) and syncing worked fine on all these phones. So, maybe this was an issue started by Google but other manufacturers resolved it. Lenovo did not.
The only workaround I found is to export the contacts from google contacts from the web in vcard format and then importing that file on my phone...... This issue is not there with oreo roms for p2
I had this problem a while back and it drove me nuts. One of the reasons I (finally) flashed a custom ROM. I dont have a solution. Have you tried the solution from second post?

Same problem here , sync stopped last week.
If uninstall play services updates and go back to factory version , contacts sync works again.
After updating play services , sync stops working.
Hopefully google can resolve this.
