[CM7] Syncing problem

So I recently flashed CyanogenMod 7.
All okay, but I can't sync my contacts back from Gmail/Google Acc
I mean, I go Settings>Accounts&Sync> And there reads Sync is ON.
I click my gmail address, and select Sync Contacts, then I press Sync Now. It syncs but still cant see my contacts :/

[How to] stop Gmail from importing contacts.

Hello all,
I cannot seem to get my Gmail contacts to stop importing into my phones contacts.
This is a problem because I use Craigslist a lot, and keep getting random emails and pictures of people I don't know in my phones contacts.
Any help is always appreciated

See that's weird, I had done that, but when I downloaded the music app to use the music cloud it resynced them all. Anyway, thanks, hopefully it doesn't happen again

Facebook contacts not showing..

I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook

^^ Copy That.
Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.
I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall.

I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?

I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.

Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic

Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.

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...

Not necessarily. I have an on premise Exchange 2010 at work, not O365 and I have the issue.

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

Contacts not visible

Hello guys
I changed my phone to z. Restored all the contacts from my old phone to new one.
After this is done. For few contacts I can't find their name or number when I search it using smart dial or phonebook search. But when that user calls me up his name n no. Flashes on the screen n stays in the call log. Later vanishes.
Could anyone help me to get all those hidden contacts.
Thank you.

Did you make a backup of all your contacts on Googleaccount on your previous phone
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

Nope. I dint backup to a Google account.
I used wondershare mobilego.
My old phone was HTC wildfire we could not keep 2 Google accounts in it old version of android so I dint backup n dint want to mess up my primary account.
N in this phone I backed up all the contacts to a gmail account.
But I can't find it in phone.
I.e. When I try to find contacts In phone home screen last tab after favorites. Three persons icon where u can find local groups n Google account
In Google account the count is 0 , though I backed up the contacts.

Go to your contacts, optiond -> filter, expand the gmail account you used and make sure the correct group has a tick in the checkbox.

Thank you.
But in gmail account I checked all the sub fields.
When I backed up all my contacts to that gmail account.
After logging into gmail from my pc I'm able to see those contacts.
But in phone I can't find them under the Google account tab.

Re-sync maybe?

Could be duplicated numbers or names?
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

Yup.
I had so many duplicates must be *3
Coz I had the Facebook sync on old phone.
That's the reason I used mobilego app to delete the duplicate. It worked well.
Still I have few duplicates. Very few I don't bother much with it.
But if I factory reset n sync my gmail account will I be able to restore my contacts.
I doubt coz I'm not able to find them in my phone.
I'm planning to root. So will have to be doing a factory reset many times. I'm new to root.
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app

Resynced everything contacts calender etc.
No change
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app

Sync your contacts to Google than open your gmail on your pc and check if all your contacts are there before doing a factory reset.
In gmail there is an option to merge all duplicated contacts

This happened to me too. I found out the contacts merged somehow O_O it's apparently a problem that other people have (Google it) as well. I painstakingly just unmerged every single one manually
Check if the contacts are merged!

My Z merges contacts with every single reset or flashing of the phone. Became a bit wearisome.
