I still remember how I had that problem.
All you just do is enable Auto Sync by going into settings -> Applications & Parental Controls -> Prevent/Allow non-Amazon app installation - > Auto Sync. Or just simply search for "auto sync" in the search bar in settings menu. Then wait for some time for the contacts to sync.
Did I help your problem?
Hi there,
I have the same problem, so far, no contacts on the fire phone, auto sync is activated...
any ideas?
You have to add your gmail account in "Settings" - "My accounts" - "Manage e-mail accounts" - Add Account", then you will be able to sync Calendar and Contacts. You do not have to use amazon email app.

hi guys,
i'm having an issue with my Desire.
despite having all 'auto sync' options unchecked, everytime i connect to a WIFi network my google contacts start to sync. i don't want this to happen.
when i go Accounts & Sync - and click 'google' under 'manage accounts', all i have is a list of three items within my google account :
1. sync contacts
2. sync gmail
3. synch calendar
and at the bottom of the screen i have two buttons:
1. sync now
2. remove account
i have no checkboxes next to any options. is there someplace else where there would be an Auto Sync setup?
i'm running android 2.2.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
ronan
ps. may it be the case that google automatically does it automatically initially, on a new phone? it only syncs after i've cleared my contacts and cache.
i went to settings -> accounts and sync -> clicked on email account i want to remove. i unsynced all of the services that the account uses and clicked remove account. this was the result:

This has been an android thing since day one. Usually you have to reset it now. You used to be able to clear Google account services from manage apps

I just got my Galaxy S3. As usual, when I set up my main google account it defaulted to syncing my gmail contacts and calendar. I sync my contacts and calendar to an exchange server and don't want them synced to my google account.
On other devices I could go into the account settings, uncheck contacts and calendar, then go into the app manager and delete the data from contacts storage and calendar storage and they would all be gone.
When I did this on my S3, the contacts app still shows all my Google contacts. I can't figure out how to remove them.
Can anyone explain?
Thanks!

This should have taken care of the issue. Can you make sure that you go to settings > accounts > your google account and uncheck contacts and calendar sync FIRST and than go to settings > app > contacts and clear data. (Same for calendar)
Also, if you have Google+ (or facebook) installed, it could be syncing contacts too. Make sure you uncheck and clear all contacts.
Strange. No matter what I did those contacts would not disappear. Then I rebooted the phone and they were gone. Seems to be working fine now...
Thanks.
So. When I set up this phone last month, I added my Google account and all my Google Contacts sync'd to the phone.
But... no sync since then.
In Contacts, if I create a new contact, my only destination options are "Device" or "SIM1." Google is not an option there. So I wind up saving stuff on the SIM because where else am I going to do it?
In Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> Sync Options, "Sync Contacts" isn't even listed, much less checked.
Help?
Edit: in "App ops' for "Google Account Manager," it says "Read / Write Contacts - Aug 5." Which is about right...
Hi guys, I've got 2 accounts and wants to remove one, can you explain me how to remove email account from fu...king gmail app ?!
at Settings -> Accounts & sync -> Personal (POP3) - when click on 3 dot's got only "sync now" option, theres no remove option, at gmail app cannot find remove option as well.. can someone help me ? thanks
You have to do it via accounts in settings. For some strange reason the functionality isn't built into the app itself. Obviously this means everything associated with this account will be deleted, not just email.
Actually you can go under the google account, and turn off just email, thus keeping play store functionality. Select the google account, and turn off Gmail. note this won't delete the mail already on the phone, you'll have to reset the gmail app to do that, but it will stop syncing and downloading of new messages.
