I tried re syncing but no go, tried erasing account and installing but phone wants me to do factory reset which i wont do.......can someone help...thanks
You have to go in your Google account to see if the contacts are still there. If they're not, you're going to have to start from scratch.

I changed my email account, went through and clear the data from the google cache, now my dam phone tells me it is having temporary problems with data services...
any suggestions?
my data works just fine on the phone, I also lost all my contacts in the process. I have them on my computer, but can't get on the market to download the missing sync app to get them back either.
any ideas?
What rom are u using?

Ok, I know I've seen this discussed on here before but honestly I dont know what keywords to put in to find the thread. Basically, I setup a new gmail and need to know how to register phone with it. I added under accounts and sync and have it syncing. Doesnt the market need it as well? I just feel like adding and syncing was too easy. Also what is a good way to move over contacts to new gmail? I thought syncing from phone would work, but have not seen them show up yet, been about 6 hours.
you need to do a factory reset to change gmail accounts like that.
Ya thats what I was afraid of.

Not positive about this but what if he flashed gapps over again? I have in the past had to flash gapps with nightlys and had to reset up my Google account. I did use the same gmail I have always used but shouldn't it be possible to do the same thing and when it ask for your gmail address just put in the new one?
Then if that works and you get it up and running you should be able to open your OLD gmail account via a PC and send a vcard with all your contacts to your new gmail account. Once you try to open the vcard it should ask you what you want to do. Then pick open with gmail or something like that.
Again I may be wrong and you will need to factory reset but it wouldn't hurt to try it the way I just said before. If this does work you will probably have to add all your apps via the market unless you install them first via titanium backup.

I just factory reset, but was looking at the idea of clearing all data on all google apps. Also on a side note, the setup kept force closing on my phone, wtf. Got it up and running though.

Hi. I have a rooted Captivate with Froyo and a few weeks ago, my Contacts (the app) started acting up.
At first, my contacts (all Google contacts) would disappear and reappear randomly. Now my contacts are all gone, except for a few 'Unknown' ones which are recent callers. What's worse, now Contacts won't open most of the times and when it does, it makes the phone really slow or it force closes.
I don't recall (un)installing or modifying anything and I REALLY don't want to reset my phone.
At the time I was using GoDialer from the market but uninstalling it didn't change anything. Maybe it broke something. Is there a way to reinstall the Contacts app or files?
Anyway, I appreciate any help.
If you saved all your contacts under your gmail account you should be able to get them all back as long as you choose the "sync contacts" under account settings for gmail.
log into gmail, confirm that all of your contacts are there, and try clearing the data for the Contacts application. Then resync and hopefully you are all set. Maybe do a titanium backup of your contact data first, too, just to be 100% sure you don't delete anything.
I have this problem on ICS...it's not rom related...cause i had it on Blue Lightning 1.1.0 and also on SLim ICS 3.1...the problem is that after some time (also after reboot) my contacts in people apps dissapear...it shows no contact...but when i open phone app contacts are dispayed there...i thought taht problem was because i had inverted contacts app...but now i have normal and again :/
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Have you cleared data from people app and contacts and everything contact related? Also download TB and do it from there. I had problems with my keyboard and somehow deleting from manage apps didn't work but deleting from TB solved it. Somehow its more through.
Have you factory reset from recovery and wiped cache, dalvik, system, etc..
Then flashed a rom fresh?
Of course i've done full wipe...and i tried clearing data of contacts but i don't try it through TB...i'll try and it now thanks but it was on two roms...my friend also have this problem now... :/ we don't know why...
after 2 reboots same again...no contact in people app...but through phone they are there... :/
I am in serious trouble w/ contact app too.
I am in ICS 4.0.4 Custom Rom(s). My Sync is always OFF..
Inverted or normal one make my contact members repeat to many times even 10 x the same member..
I am Cleaning data and reimporting them from Card but it has been doing the same behavior.
Upon a suggestion, I installed GoContacts EX and used its "merge" option but I observed this app erases fully the contact members itself. This apps also needs reimporting continuously.
I am sick and tired of this trouble..
Someone says SWYPE causes this problem, but I selected AndroidKeybord, still the same problem..
ANY SOLUTION ??

I can only think of two more things...
1. If both of you have it, it must be an app or something both of you are doing..
2. Another stupid thing that is probably tried... Go to the people app press menu, and look at contact to display..

I doubt swype is the problem i have used it before and nothing like this has happened. If it could be the problem you will probably have to disable the app from manage apps or un-install it for it to solve the problem
Where are all of you getting your contacts from, have you not stored it on google and then synced them. Or are they multiple sources?
Look at the pictures bellow...you can see that in people app there are no contacts but in phone app they are there! i tried to display all contacts and so on but no luck...
1. What happens when you click on "set up my profile"
2. Also when you go to "contacts to display" does the account you want show up?
3. Where are your contacts stored?? Google? Email? Sim card? sd card? Where?
4. When you try import it appears and then disappears later on....correct?
5. Have you tried wiping from Titanium backup?
Please answer all Q's
1. i can create my profile with my name i think...or what it is
2. yes they are both my gmail accounts
3. now on sd card...i tried it also with gmail and my friend who has this issue from sim...same problem
4. when i import them they are shown, but after some time they are not there, also after reboot they just dissapear
5. yes i tried it...didn't help
Full wipe again, fix permissions from recovery after setting up accounts manually (your not using back ups are you? If you are don't). Do this before setting up apps (let google download it automatically and finish, along with your contacts)
Upon reboot if the contacts aren't there again, delete one account and set-up again immediately. Let all contacts download turn off sync, go to recovery fix permissions, delete cache, and dalvik, reboot. Hopefully they should be there
If not then i think im out of ideas... Unless you want to see what happens when you go back to stock.... Its worth a try if its that annoying (I don't use the people app, only the phone app )
Very Good luck to you!!
My only Choice
As the most of ICS 4.0.4 custom Roms are connecting itself Wi-fi or Data and consequently as soon as connected it is syncing w/ google contacts even if it is set as 'sync off'.
Finally I could not find any other way but I rearranged my Google/ Gmail Contacts as the way I want in my phone thru the laptop.
It syncs but no more repetitions and erase.
I believe something may have gone wrong when I tried restoring system apps from my OPO to my new OP3T. Now my google contacts do not sync, there are no contacts showing in the contacts app. When I try to save a contact the tick to save is grey and I cannot tap it. I have tried clear data and force stop but it doesn't fix it. Any ideas?
Just a thought: Why restoring a system app if all data of theese are stored only? Especially contacts app which is connected to your Google account.
I would try to reset the apps, delete the Google account in account settings and apply the Google account once more and try/hope it now syncs.
How can I reset all apps? I really want to avoid a full factory reset. I'm happy to use abd, flash, twrp etc
