Need help!!!! - LG Optimus Black

How many contacts i can save on my gmail account bcz whenever i save new contact and select gmail acc to save it asks me some data may be deleted. I even ignored it but eventually i lost some contacts. Pls can some one tell me is it like this only or i mistakenly did something wrong bcz it really creates prob to load contacts when changing roms or i always have import contacts to sdcard.

See i loading some pics of my prob.
See in first pic i select to save in gmail acc and in second pic it says some data may be deleted. So what is the best method to save all my contacts saving to gmail without loosing any other.

And this happens only when i try to add contact directly from call logs. But if i make contact manually then its fine that popup did not come which says some data may be deleted.

According to my experiences this is only a warning that data might be overwritten - but for me it never happened. Also appears when importing contacts from file, e.g. VCF. I would suggest just to ignore the message without worrying. ;-)

Even u have this message when saving contact to gmail?
Is is safe bcz its saying some data may be deleted, rather than data maybe overwritten.

No, not "even", but "only".

I don't know, but so far I have never lost any data. Or at least I haven't recognized...

No. It's push or off - that's the only choice you have.
Use the stock Email/Mail application if you want more control, rather than Gmail.

Are you using the Gmail app, or the Email/Mail app?

Turn off auto-sync and background data under accounts and settins. In Froyo and other mods, turn of data which will still allow you to receive calls and text messages but no ip stuff.
Gmail deletion on you phone and laptop will be delayed based on your connections. Usually within 5 minutes your phone and laptop should reflect each other.

No mate i think your geting a little mixed up here, what is happening is that when i delete emails on my phone they still show up when i check my laptop (they show up as being read) what im wondering is why when i delete emails on my phone they don't just delete and i have to delete them when i go on my laptop, i wouldn't imagine it has anything to do with sync or the likes, is no one else having the same trouble?

[SOLVED] Re-syncing Facebook contacts?

Somehow, I am not able to get to the screen where you choose to sync your facebook contacts like when you first get that after installing a rom/wiping data.
I can not add a facebook account through accounts and sync. Deleting all facebook data doesn't help it. Please help!
if you open the fb app and go into settings, there's an option to sync contacts

If you can't add an account, it might be because you used Froyo's method of app2sd. Move the app back to the "internal" memory and see if you can add an account back (you may need to reboot for it to show up in the account selection section).

There is no such option in my FB App either.
Is there a solution for re-syncing the contacts?

If that isn't the case, you may not have enough freespace on the device to store any info...
That weird, for me when I go into settings and scroll down I have this.
but just follow bassmadrigal instructions above.

That was just the setting I didn't have. Don't worry anymore, though, I solved it by using an external application. Furthermore, I would just like to say I do not run ICS any longer. I currently run samuaz CM7 ROM and will continue using it until all the major bug and stability issues with the current ICS builds are ironed out.
ICS really is a great ROM and it's gonna be a tough choice between choosing an AOSP ICS build or a cyanogenmod AOSP ICS build. I really "dig" cyanogenmod so that's probably what I'll look forward to.

I didn't use app2sd or something like that. So I think the app is in the internal memory.
And my phone is just 3 days old so it should have enough space.

If just some aren't working, then overall, your app is working, it just isn't always able to find the right person to sync it with. Just find that facebook contact, then click on their picture to get the little popup with email and their contact card. Click on the contact card and select edit contact, then use the menu button and click on join. Find the contact in your normal contact and select that person. This will join the contacts.

Sorry I didn't made it clear: There are some Fb contacts missing, not the link between my contacts and Fb.
So it isn't possible for me to link them, because they don't exist
Is this with the stock facebook app? Because I know if you use third-party ones like Friendcaster, if they blocked the app, they won't show up. If it is the stock app, I really don't know. I haven't seen that issue at all.

Duplicate exchange account contacts and calendar events

Need some help here. I have been getting duplicate entries for my exchange account contacts and calendar events. As many as 3 per contact and event. I have tried deleting the account and set up again, but it will happen again a few hours later.

back up to google is on... could that be the cause of this problem? A quick check in xda shows that I am not the only one.
could be, but not sure, you can turn it off and test it just in case.

Same exact problem for me. Can you please share your ROM configuration. I am on Crash ROM v7
think you need to check your google contacts and remove duplicates there.
Thats a good idea, you can merge contacts via comp browser. Or remove them there if they are there. Then possibly switch of after duplicates on phone are removed contacts sync.
Could be the culprit. Best to check where the duplicates are stored before trying by opening duplicate and checking which account it is saved under.

Gents, i really do think this is a bug. I too have the issue only with my work exchange account. The issue wasnt there before the latest German rom LRK. I have tried removing the account and recreating it but it happens again......
Can you others with this issue please post the rom version.
Also please dont suggest merging contacts as that isnt a fix to this issue
Ok, was just eliminating possibilities

Hey guys!
Don't know if that is possible on any ROM but for me (when I still was on a "normal" ICS ROM.. currently I'm on MIUI searching for a good ICS ROM) it worked out kinda like that... (On MIUI thats not possible...)
I don't remember very well how the option was named but if you go to your contacts and press menu one of the options on the bottom brings you to a list where you can choose from which source you want your contacts be taken from... Like SDCard, SIMCard, Google Account, Facebook, etc... just choose one source where you know every contact you need is saved and there you go.. You don't have any duplicated contacts anymore...
But maybe I'm remembering wrong and it was on the stock GB ROM from Samsung... Sorry guys it passed some time since my MIUI flash so I can't remember very well... But hope it helped somehow...
Guys the problem is only with exchange office 365 account, a corporate one in my case. I don't even have google contacts syncing. Everything in Outlook is great just one item on calendar, and just one contact.
The duplicates are only on the Note. I am on Crash ROM v7 4.0.4.
Maybe 4.0.4 ics is the problem...

Are you on 4.0.4?
maybe previously retained items are maintained, In that case switch off sync, make backup of outlook items, so incase anything goes wrong you can reimport if 365 has that opportunity.
Then set sync one way to phone on phone, and delete all contacts and calender items on phone. This could be done automaticslly not sure, when delting sync acount in accounts. Maybe from there you can delete data to, Then setup synch again, check if its push and if thats not supported there are any options regarding full synch on every synch. Also switch off option to allow duplicates to be created if its there.
This could work, try it and report back

Stupid ICS contacts

When you create a new contact, it saves as default on sim card. This is really stupid, because it's not sync with Google and there's no options like email or address on that storage. Also, I used to add my friends address from maps adding a star to their home and then adding as a contact, but since the contacts app saves as default on sim, the position is lost even if you change it to google after that, so for now it's impossible to add coordinates to your contacts.

Nop.
When you create a new contact, it saves as default on phone, not SIM card.
If you go to settings in phone book and set all contacts you will have new contact by default on phone.
Not on mine! As you can see in the picture attached, it doesn't have a phone as option to save the contact. Are you using v30a?

use export/import function when going into the contact.
it is always safer to keep your contacts on the SIM card
if you`re too lazy to do such a simple thing then i dunno what to say :laugh:

Keep the contact at simcard is absolutely not the safer option. You can loose your phone, and if your contact was not synced with Google or whatever you're f.....
And why are you calling me lazy? I think you're the lazy one, since you didn't read the post entirely and didn't realize that I explained that it's impossible to add coordinates from gmaps to your contacts' address.

I use v30A stock an have phone, google account and sim when i try save contact.
Save all your contects on some save place and do hard reset on phone or flash again latest version FW, becouse, now you have something wrong with this fw.
Mine shows: Phone, Gmail and Sim.
If "Phone" is missing in yours then I guess that would be a rom problem.
I would also like Gmail as default but I don't know how to do it, if you figure that out let me know

contacts lost

guys i lost all of my contacts while copying data from the phone to pc...all i did was copy all the data from the phone to pc..nothing related to contacts... already tried data recovery...any solutions??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
You havent synced your contacts with any of your google accout? Also dont you copy contacts once a while in your SD Card or PC using apps such as Superbackup?
Just asking cause the best thing with android is that your contacts are always safe of you sync it with your google account.
As far as your problem is concerned I dont know why this would happen. Did you try a reboot or check the settings as to what contacts are shown. Else i am sorry to say but i think your contacts are gone.

If u have a google account on ur phone justs go 2 " google.com/contacts " when u sing up in the ur browser, and try 2 restore ur contacts and make some export on the pc in vcard format.
If u have no a google account, that's is bad for u. Also u can wach the vcard file on ur memory card, m8bee u make export contacts before.
