For the life of me I can't get some of my contacts to sync to google, instead of just being phone contacts. Any idea how to do this? I'm trying to get the contacts of a 2.1 sense ROM to sync to google so they will appear on my AOSP 2.2 setup. Thanks in advance.

I haven't used 2.1 since before summer, so I'm rusty with it, but when you edit a contact, can't you change whether it's saved to the phone or Google account?
I haven't seen that option anywhere. Ive been using aosp but nanded back to see why I was missing contacts and didnt see that option...

I am in the same boat...haven't used 2.1 for quite awhile, but I know there is an option somewhere. Positive.
One other way, if you absolutely can't get them to switch doing it on your phone, add them online and delete them from the phone (the ones that are phone contacts). But I know the option is there to change them somewhere. Maybe I will flash back just to find out where
Give those contacts a email address, even if its a bogus one. They will sync once you do that, or at least they did on mine.

Running Froyo 2.2.
So basically for the last 2 months, facebook contact sync has had the same annoying error.
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
But the sync picture with the red/white exclamation mark is only by the Contacts. Maybe once every 100 syncs work.
I've tried removing the account and then re-adding it (and still get the same problem). I do have the Official Facebook app installed, along with using LauncherPro.
Any ideas? Also, when I sync Google, it works.
Thanks!
Tony.
I get the same error, but for some reason, all my contacts get added to the contact app.

Are you running Froyo (with a root)?
I had a rom a few months ago that would not sync my Facebook contacts at all. Did it have this syncing problem when you first put your Froyo rom on or did it start later?
It happened after. I think it had to happen after, because I had to do a hard reset to install Froyo, and it was syncing well for a few months (or weeks).
It could be one of many problems then. Do you have any other problems besides facebook sync? Market or anything else?

I can get Facebook contacts loaded into the Contacts on the Captivate, but then I have to join them one by one and the pictures get compressed.

So I have two different gmail accounts on my LG Thrill. (One Business, One Personal)
The market app keeps changing the default account to my business account.
Makes it harder to keep up with updates.
Is there any way to fix this?
Sorry if this is a newb question, I can't figure it out.
When you first set up the phone...which account did you use during set up. mine always defaults to that account and never changes.
If you need to change that...the only way i am aware of is a factory reset ...or manually switch (which until now...i had no idea you could do)

Thats what odd is that my personal account was the one that was set up first, yet it keeps trying to change to the other.

Same on G2x
Oh good, my G2x with CM7 has been doing the same thing. Thought I was going to have to wipe. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
Agreed. It's really annoying having to keep switching back to my primary account. I don't want to make any purchases until it's fixed. Don't want to risk the purchase going to an incorrect account.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Unless you've added a credit card to the other account(s), then there will be no risk on making purchases under the wrong account.
If you're that paranoid, you can always activate the PIN protection so it forces you to enter a PIN code to authorise an app purchase.
same here!! keep defaulting to the other account... any news on a fix for this yet??

It seems to be every time there is an update to the market app. Just updated again last night. Not sure on a fix yet.
What's the latest version of the market?
Im glad its not just me.. Im having the same problem. The account I used to set the phone up is my main account but it keeps switching to my other account and its fustrating. I dont even have a thrill I have a HTC desire Z. I guess this is a cross platform thing.
It started with me when I updated to 2.3.6, it could be the market though. But I noticed that in sync settings that my accounts are in alphabetical order now, and it switches to the top one. Which is also my google apps business account, and my original account is on the bottom, which is my personal. Rooted Nexus S, stock 2.3.6 rom and kernel.
Update
Market version 3.1.5
In the market, accounts menu, my accounts display in my original installed order. It defaults to the wrong account when it notifies that there is an app update.

same problem here on an SGS2 @ 2.3.5
Same problem for me on my Droid 3 (which is rooted, but running the stock flavor of the OS). I found where some folks on the official Android Market forum have a thread going that describes this same problem. Hopefully it will get fixed soon. In the meantime, I will probably just removed my secondary Google accounts for now, since I rarely actually need to use them.
-SR-
Same thing on my Thunderbolt. I have 3 accounts. my personal (first to set up and my "primary" online account), then my 'professional' account (tied to things like LinkedIn, used for resumes and such) and a third 'random' account used for things like 1 time deals and such.
I had root with stock and running CM7. on both ROMs i'd still have my perofessional account be the "primary" account in the market. frustrating.

Thanks for bringing up an old topic.
What's the best way to have facebook sync? A custom ROM or something like HaxSync?
I tried flashing "flavours" from Matthew Huie (super_paws around there) that incorporates the "hidden" Facebook Sync but I didn't achieve anything (no contacts were sync'd, I don't know why, but gah... ).
I used for a while an app called SyncMyPix, only good for syncing contact photos (not rly good, tbh... the images were pixelated and sometimes not very useful).
So, last week I installed HaxSync that IS rly a beast: contact (both photos and status) infos are synced in a veeeeeeeery good manner and it does everything automatically. I think that with a few bucks you get a goooood app for the stock ROM. (it works on any rom ofc, but others may have a sync option enabled yet...)
my 2 cents
Where do you find hack sync? I've never heard of it. But I want to check if out.

Can you disable status update sync with haxsync? Also, does it try to sync ALL of your fb friends?.. personally, I'm just looking for a nice hi re contact photo solution.

For HaxSync, how do you guys get the contacts to merge because some people I didnt have their last name in and it came in as a separate contact. But now I added the last name and now i have one with the number and another one with the fb status/pic

Select first contact, edit, menu, join, select contact u want to join with... or if u want to actually merge into one, you can do it thru Gmail (select contacts from the left side), or Google.com/contacts

did it happen to anyone else? i went into my contacts and they are gone all of them, i went onto gmail.com and check my contact tabs and they are all gone!! WTF!!

Usually when there are a lot of contacts got deleted (on PC), it will tell you that "there are multiple changes to contact. Do you want to sync?" or something like that (happen to me once). Did you get that?

I'm having same exact problem. contacts deleted. no gapps no sync just stored on phone and gone. they've been deleted like 10 xs over 4 roms now. also calls get dropped after ringing once or twice periodically. whats up with this phone?
I've tried 20 apps and I don't really like most of them.
What are ppl using?
I honestly liked the old 4.1 stock app and want something similar.
I want manual sync, but I want the app to auto sync upon opening, which surprisingly none of them do. I know u just have to pull down to sync, but hey, one less step, is one less step.
I also am having trouble finding an app where u can easily delete from the app. I think I'm deleting emails throughout the day, only to find them all still there when I go to hotmail on my computer.
When I hit delete, I want it to delete, not go to trash so I have to open an entirely different folder and delete that for it to really be gone.
I'm just going to keep trying them, but if you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Have you tried Mailbox by Dropbox? I've been using Inbox by Google since it came out. I like the idea but it can get confusing at times. Gonna give Mailbox a try since it comes highly recommended.
