Contacts not pushing to Google?

I have noticed this issue for awhile now. If i make a change to a contact on my phone it never gets pushed to GMail. Has anyone else noticed this? I have made sure Contacts was checked in Data Synchronization, i have even made changes, unchecked it then rechecked it and watched it sync. But those changes never make it to Google's servers. I know it worked in RC33 but i don't think it has worked since.
I do a lot of flashing and constantly keep losing new contacts or updates because of this. Its kind of a pain in the arse to remember what and who i changed in my contacts to update when i am at a machine.
Anyone?

Well you can buy mybackup pro and backup your contacts...But make sure you uncheck syncing of contacts in the data/synchronization settings. Never ran into that problem before.

you can try force-updating.
after you make a change, go to settings>data syncronization, uncheck and then check again the "Contacts" field, it will force a sync.
You should consider moving to a cupcake build already too, if only for the camera

Same deal
I have been having problems trying to sync up my contacts too. Everything is correct and the way that I want it on my phone and I want to push those updates to Google, but it constantly fails. Sometimes it fails with an little exclamation point next to the sync icon and sometimes it doesn't. I have tried it on both my rooted and unrooted g1 and I still have no luck even though I switch the sim card. I use mybackup pro and have been for a while but the file output format is nothing that can be uploaded to google (ie csv file) so I'm not sure where to go from here. Anyone have any ideas as to why the sync fails? My only thought is that Google refuses to sync because I am trying to sync a large number of contacts on my phone, with a very small number of contacts on google servers. Xmarks (formerly foxmarks) for Firefox does the same thing, it won't allow you to sync a large amount of information one way without giving you a popup message so your away of it just in case you don't realize that you are overwriting data. Maybe Google servers are similar only without the warning message?

My contacts NEVER sychronized with Google. Gmail works fine, MyMaps also synchronize but contacts and calendar never. And I don't even have these options in Data Synchronization menu (only Auto-synk and Gmail). Any ideea how I can fix this?
Thank you!

[Q] GMail not syncing correctly.

I flashed to JM5 the other day and setup my google account on startup as usual.
Everything came down ok - calendar, contacts and mail. I have push enabled and I get informed of my mails almost instantly as expected. I can mark them as read and/or delete them without issues.
The issues come later when I sign onto my GMail account on my home PC - all the mails I have read/deleted during the day are still marked as unread and I have to re-read/re-delete them. Everything else works fine!
Can anyone shed any light on this?
I've tried to delete the account and re-add but it says I can't remove it (since other apps are so dependent on it) without a factory reset.

i've my gmail account configured to Archive downloaded/read emails

I have the same problem, and it started recently...past two weeks probably. It is annoying, I'll open gmail on the phone, read the messages, close gmail, open gmail and they are right back.
I'm on a Vibrant, search feature brought me here...

[Q] Email periodically stops syncing with Exchange

For some reason the Email will periodically stop syncing with Exchange and the only way to get it to start again is to reboot the xoom.
I have tried the following:
Kill Email app and restart
Change sync settings to never, exit settings, change settings back to push
This used to happen on my nexus one with the base rom but not with any of the cooked roms.
Any idea how to fix this? It is pretty annoying.

I've experienced the same thing.

i'm having the same issue right now on my nexus one where email stops syncing daily. I cannot even manually refreshing and there is no spinning/refresh symbol on the upper right. after rebooting the phone, exchange sync works again. only to have the problem occur again.

Gmail Sync Unchecked

Using CM7 and every so often Gmail mail sync gets unchecked. When I go back in to accounts and recheck it, it syncs successfully. Calendar and contacts never unchecks. Anyway to resolve this?
Thanks.

I have run into this form time to time also. Someone on the cm forums also reported this for the heroc. No confirmation if it's a heroc issues, cm7 issue or a gmail issue. The cause is thought to be some issue related to not being able to sync for a certain time, i.e. loss of signal, or possible airplane mode, and then gmail decides to stop trying to automatically sync.
I also have the issue with google+

I can confirm that I have exactly the same problem. I use a zte blade with CM 7.1 stable release. I use the gmail app.
Any solutions?

i have this issue too htc legend

Try updating your gmail apk or roll back one.

[Q] Gmail syncing slow on 4.4

I know I asked this before but every since I updated to 4.4 my gmail sync has been painfully slow. Once in a while I'll get an instant notification other times I'll have to wait upwards of 5 minutes for it to come through. I didn't have this issue on 4.3. All I noticed when I checked the sync settings is that the sync icon was stuck on gmail and I had to manually refresh it. Does anyone have any suggestions. I already cleared the data and rebooted but there is no change.

Check the sync settings on the gmail app.

All those are fine. I'll send a test email and it will be instant but if I repeat it I'll have to wait 5+ minutes for it to come up again.

Mine Is Just Slow To Sync
My issue is similar, but different. My Gmail app on my phone is not syncing (or at least it takes forever) to sync with the Gmail itself.
If I delete 10 messages from my phone (Gmail) then go to a computer and visit my Gmail account via a web browser, the messages are still there.
I'm running HTC One. 4.4 Kit Kat Seems to have started around the time I upgraded. I also have a Google Apps domain, not straight Gmail. But we all know Google Apps mail is just Gmail with your own domain name.
Anyone else having this issue?
DISREGARD, I RESOLVED BY: FORCE STOPPING MAIL APP, CLEAR DATA. THEN RECONFIG CLIENT/APP.
