(Q)Contacts Syncing Problem

Last night I updated my wife's Epic to DK28. The problem is her contacts are gone and syncing doesn't bring them back. Why wouldn't they have saved to her gmail am I overlooking something. I have flashed my phones a lot and never had this issue.

check google/contacts online and see if her contacts are listed there. My wife had a similar problem and turns out when she added a contact she added them to her phone address book and not google.
http://www.google.com/contacts

They are not there is there a way to add them to Google after they are back in the phone?

can you get them back on the phone? Are there a lot of them?

I had a similar problem on the syndicate rom a while ago. It would say it was syncing for a second then stop. I also noticed when i went to facebook.com and tried to install the app from there it thought my phone was something other than the epic. I resolved the issue by using a different ROM. I don't know if these things are related, but that might be a start...

Yeah luckily we found her old phone and transferred thru bluetooth but I am tryin to figure out how to get them to google in case this happens again. As far as the rom she was totally stock di18 not even rooted for 5 weeks and I updated her to unrooted dk28.

You should be able to export them from contacts via the import/export menu option. This will create a file named something like 00001.vcf(vCard file) in sdcard/external_sd/. Then go to the google contacts and import it. Hope that helps!

Ok I will try that. Thanks alot guys.

Just make sure when she adds any new contacts that she adds them to google.

Stupid question but she does have syncing turned on in her contacts right? After they're restored try to force sync, then check her google account from a desktop/laptop to see if it worked.
I've not had much luck with the import export v card feature. I recently had to delete all contacts on my phone, then go to my google account via desktop, export all contacts to google.csv, delete all contacts online, then reinstall online from the google.csv file in order to fix a syncing problem.

I think google may be having an issue at the moment. My phone is saying that Sync is currently offline and will be back shortly.

Yeah her sync is on I just don't get what happened. I have reflashed my epic about 10 times without issue. And my moment ugh probably 75-100. Never lost contacts it has been automatic since I got my first android.

After my last rom flash I had a situation where any time I added a contact on the phone it got deleted after syncing. No idea why but a google search lead me to others that had the same issue.
I think this OS still has a lot to be ironed out. I wish they'd stop adding features and just make a decent contacts app. I can't for the life of me figure out why I have to select which of the same four phone numbers I want to dial when I try to call a contact that is synced to multiple accounts, for example.
Sent from my SPH-D700

sometimes when i have synching issues, i fix it by going into 'manage applications' and clearing the data for that app. i've had to do that with gmail.... it erases and re-synchs the app, and afterwards it works like normal. of course, only do it if she does indeed have her contacts backed up on Google... otherwise they will be gone. not sure if this will fix hers, but just saying it did fix my synching issues a few times.

[Q]Paid app showing not purchased?

Hey everyone I wanted to see if I'm in the wrong or if this has happened to anyone else.
I purchased Rom Toolbox Pro from Jrummy in January, I used it for everything just about and I was always able to download it easily. About a week ago I flashed a new Rom and when I went install Rom Toolbox Pro, it didn't show purchased. I had had this problem before all i needed to do was force close the play store and i would reopen and it would show all my purchased apps, but this time it didn't work so i cleared cache on the play store, and it still didn't work. So i decided to call Google/have them call me. The woman who called was very helpful and understood that i had a rooted device and she tried to help me out as much as she could. We saw that the app was previously purchased in January, but even on the website it no longer shows purchased. She forwarded the issue onto the "specialists" and said they would contact me back within 48 hours. After about 3 days I had Google call me back just so I could checkup on the issue, when I asked for a manager they tried to transfer me, but the phone hung up. When I called again I was really fed up, a woman answered and I was a bit snippy with her, but then the manager walked over and said he was supposed to talk to me, so they transferred the call. The manager was very nice and very helpful, he said he would put his name on the issue which would put it at the front of the queue. Later that day I receive an email asking if I can see that the app is purchased on the website, I replied saying no. They said they could refund me the app, but the problem is, I no longer have the card the application was purchased on. They said I should contact Jrummy and have some input from him. I already contacted before I even called Google, and he said he can only refund and the issue seems to be on Google's side. So I tell the specialist this, and then they begin to blame my device saying that it being rooted would cause the application to be incompatible. I bluntly told the specialist that having a rooted or custom ROM can make an application be incompatible, but that is not my issue, the issue is their database. I then asked for a manager to contact me. Thee specialist replied saying "I understand your point, however I would not advise something I haven't seen proof of." WTF? and "Other users who have had rooted devices, experienced this issue, once they un-rooted, they were able to access their paid apps" so have any of you "experienced this issue"? He made no point prior that this issue was somewhat resolvable and acted as if the only way to retrieve the app was to unroot or refund, but when I ask for a manager "I was willing to make an exception and refund for the app, however you do not have the credit card used to make the purchase. Other users have experienced this issue, most are not rooted. We are currently looking into the issue. I can not guarantee that when it is resolved you will have access to the app, however if you would like to be patient and wait, I can notify you when the issue is resolved."You were willing to make an exception? LOL He also said if I would like to speak with his manager to reply to the email, so before I did that I wanted to ask your opinions.
TL;DR
>Purchased app in January
>No longer shows purchased
>Called Google
>Never contacted me back
>Called back
>Contacted me back
>They insist its my rooted phone and incompatibility issues(not true because app shows up, just says not purchased)
>Ask for manager
>What's your opinion?

Reboot the phone. Clear cache. It worked for me.

Oh and don't forget to clear app data too. Then just login again.

Well I already did this basically, but it's not my phone, because on the website it shows that its not purchased even.

Well when this happened to me I had to wipe app data, cache, and reboot. If you are on a custom rom then perhaps try rrflashing gapps. Or maybe all of it.

I'm having the same problem with them. It's a known problem they say

If its showing as not purchased on the website, then it sounds like a problem with Googles Servers, not your phone. I would keep contacting them about it, tell them when you login to your account on a computer it doesn't show as purchased.

Menu /settings /apps/ all. /Google play /Clear data. Now Open back up market login again. And should show you purchased apps that wht I do when I come across that issue

Why not email google your receipt? Google sends me a receipt for everything that I purchase. And it's in Gmail....so I have everything that's ever been sent to me.

They know this, but refuse to believe it's them. They're not really helping themselves out much.

Change meid or android id for instagram???

OK so I had an instagram account get flagged and banned. This happened before about 2 months ago but all i did was make a new account with a fake email and it worked. I know iphone users have to go switch thier phones or do a factory reset at the store or something. So i thought i was good. Well now it seems the program knows when your phone is YOUR PHONE . Even if i had another account tha wasnt banned I wouldnt be able to get in. So i tried changing my Android Id with Titanium Backup Pro and it didnt work. That led me to believe it is the MEID i have to change maybe.......
Im not sure but i really do love instagram and i honestly think HATERS are flagging my pics because none of them are complete nudity and if its close its more of a photography/artwork nudity then porn ...
any help would be appreciated even suggestions .. lets work .. and thanks in advance

You could contact the instagram admins to find out why you got banned and if there is an appeals process to get your account back.
Or you could take your lumps like an adult and accept the fact that you violated their t&c.

i understand that .. ill find the link to appeal ...
but im not worried about getting my account back..
but it basically banned MY PHONE not my account .. bc i had more than one account for business purposes and now i cant sign into that one on this phone
ive been banned and all i had to do was make a new account ... i know iphone users have to factory reset thier phone or take it to the apple store ..
ive factory reset , flashed a different rom, use titanium backup to change android id ... used a paid app to change android id ..... nothing ..... this is retarted of them as a company why not just delete the account ... what access did they have to ban my entire phone .. HOW DOES IT EVN KNOW ITS MY PHONE

Don't change your meid silly, that's your identity to your phone company.

Lol Thanks .. i dont know what it does but I got my phone to be able to accept accounts. Im not 100% sure but ithink it puts a file called .profig.os on your sd card root so it can know that its your phone but i basically formatted my sd card and ODINED to fc19 and signed in with a different gmail for the initial setup
so it either has to do with the gmail u use with the inital setup and the market
or its that file bc "profig" looks alot like profile instagram abbreviated
but thanks for the tip anyway bc i would of been SOL if i changed my MEID probably

Yes it's the profig that is the one doing that I just kept deleting it every time I logged in thanks very much for this and God instagram sucks for banning both accounts even tho I only did "immoral"stuff on one

I recently have the same problem. Hoping someone can shine some light on my situation. I feel like I tried everything but get a new phone. I was in the process of using Titantium Back Up Pro to change Android ID but came across this thread. Then what I did was clear data for instagram then removed SD Card then reinstalled Instagram but still says my account is disabled. I even changed my android ID removed my current Gmail account made a new one and then installed Instagram all with sd card out and still says im disabled.

It's an Instagram issue that must be taken up with Instagram support.

Rotted Users.
Here is a fix for instagram banning your device.
ROOTED USERS ONLY!
Step 1 : Find a none stock rom or a different rom from what you are useing.
example : Stock LG G2 rom to AOSP
Step 2: Flash the new rom no dirty flash complete wipe.
Step 3: Create a new account with a new email.
Step 4: http://www.bluestacks.com/ i request downloading this VMWARE type of android to create your instagram account.

Why is this so HARD or am I stupid???

Alright so i been going nuts trying to figure out why when i sign in a new device it gets full access to all my google account information. I have a few android phone in the the house all using different google address so its fine. But recently purchased a new tablet and both me and my brother signed in which is fine. Installed all the apps that were purchased from the Play Store and this is were the problem is.
When you sign in once the tablet now has access to everything related to that google account and no verification is asked or prompts to login. I don't want my brother reading my emails and he is the same it makes no sense why you enter it once and the device has access to everything. I would like to control what features of my google account a device has access too.
I just want to be able to install purchased apps on the tablet and nothing more, is this possible?

Hahahah. Jebise. Haha. Bravo on the nik.
AFAIK, no is the answer to ur question. Google is said to be working on multiple user accounts. Maybe an app is out on play store that locks ur email app but i havent heard of it.
PS. Pusti brata neka cita email naucice nesto novo. Heheh.

Thanks, it was unintentional way back when i was thinking of an internet alias. It was suppose to be Jebus (Homer say this in one of the episodes) but young foolish me decided to spell it Jebise and it just kinda got stuck and like you once in a while i get these messages. I know what it means now but anyways back to OP.
That is really dump. This is why we never shared accounts, I don't want to purchase the same apps again. I guess Apple has it right with the AppStore because it prompts for a password to install apps and there is no link to email.

Look in settings in the app store I think there is a setting where it will ask you if u want to ask for password before installing any apps. My phone is off so i cant confirm but I believe i did see it almost 100 %.

It's for a PIN but that still does not solve the issue for gmail. I guess we can just uninstall the app.

Sign in, install your apps the remove the account.

yes but thats kind of annoying.

or you can just go to the google settings in each tab and tell it not to sync email and calander or just disable google sync for all app all together.

yeah but if you go into the app, you can still manually see emails and such even if sync is disabled. it seems I have to remove my account or use TB which is a pain with multiple devices and that not even including updates.
After some thinking I think I will just have to create a new google account just for purchasing apps and nothing else. Sad google has no real control on this.

not if new apps are purchased or updates.
I think the far easier option is to create a generic email with just a CC used to purchase apps.

Cannot connect to server exchange LG G3

Ok I have a issue i've been trying to fix for the past few hours. Hope some one can help.
I wanted to change the settings on one of my email accounts that i set up through microsoft exchange on my LG G3 and accidentaly deleted the account. So i thought not to bad i wil just add it again...nope that's not so easy. It keeps sayong cannot connect to server when i try to add a new account. What can I do?
It's especially frustrating as I just did a factory reset, got MM on there and just made the email account yesterday without a problem....and now it won't allow me to do that again.
Thanks for the help.

What rom are you using?
Sent from my phone

I'm having a similar issue along with 4 others with LG phones in our work environment. All of needed to just change our AD passwords because of policy, and when we updated our phones with our new AD password... we ALL get "Cannot Connect to Server". The workaround we are using for right now is the Outlook app on the play store. We were all using the native app before. I've tried clearing data/cache on the app, completely setting up my email account again all with no luck. We are using Office 365 and Exchange 2013. All of us are stock rom. Mine is the only one stock but rooted phone.

FIXED!
Thanks to this post: http://www.droidforums.net/threads/...-connect-to-server-to-change-password.288741/
It is an update for Android System Webview, basically I went into play store, uninstalled the update and went and set email up fine on the native app. Then went back in and ran the update. No need to reboot.
