Contact syncing

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.

Galaxy Tab Email App; Update for Exchange Accounts

OK guys here is the Galaxy Tab Email App. It has a sweet new look and has the dual pane in landscape mode. I have been using it on my Epic today and it is sweet! The font is a bit small but its obviously meant to be seen on a larger screen. Just push the Email.apk to /system/app and then reboot your phone. Make a backup of your current email app in case you want to use the original email app instead! This is for Froyo only!!!!
Enjoy :~)
TIP: I use Root Explorer to do all this work, it is the best couple of bucks i have spent. I have not connected any of my Android phones to my Mac for 6 months to push, copy, backup, etc! I highly recommend it!
TIP: Here is a new tip for you guys that are having connection errors with Exchange accounts! It is a bug that we hope that google can fix it sometime soon!

Also if you are using exchange and cannot get mail after three days then you can change this in the mail settings. The default is three days!

cool! working good for me.. thanks for sharing

This is ONLY for Froyo ROMs...

well that explains it. would be nice of the op to mention that.
maybe throw it in a [FROYO] in the title?
Thanks though. Will try next time I flash a 2.2

Are you serious? The Galaxy Tab only comes with Froyo but I thought that would be obvious! I will mention it then!

ive got nothing against osx, i really think its fun to use and very intuitive, im just against the locked down last gen hardware. if i were just going to dual boot linux and use it for the most part, id just do so on a pc. it just blows me away that they are getting 1500 dollars for the same thing you could build yourself for a few hundred.
you know what they say...
a fool and his money are soon parted.

I've been trying to load my yahoo account and it keep saying incorrect username or password. Been trying it all day, I'm on the Quantum ROM. I believe Its the same thing. But I know I'm putting the correct information, Was just wondering if you knew why it was doing this?

couldn't you just install the email.apk and have access to both this new email app and whatever other one your phone came with?? that would make things easier so if you didn't like this one you could just uninstall it!!

It tells you there's an email.apk already.
Anyways, I went into terminal, typed su
Cp /system/app/Email.apk /sdcard/
Remount rw
Rm /system/app/Email.apk
Cp /sdcard/download/Email.apk /system/app
And it works flawlessly and loving the multiple delete option

I keep getting a cannot conbnect to server error. It definitely syncs contacts and calendar, but emails don't come through. Anyone have this issue or know of a workaround. Its only with exchange because I test a Gmail account and a hotmail account and the emails definitely come through. Any thoughts or help are greatly appreciated.
FYI running latest Viper ROM and have tested on all other Froyo ROMs with the same results.

You mean you can delete multiple emails at once? How did you do this? I can select multiple but not able to delete them since option is not visible...

i would suggest not using this, the epics screen isnt big enough too view all the options, it cuts the bottom off and even if you go all the way down it still doesnt show.

The only option that gets cut off as far as I know is a refresh button on the bottom which I never use.

I never figured out how to get the multiple delete to work. The new stock email app in froyo has multiple delete now so I have gone back to that for my yahoo mail. Still a nice discovery though.

lol! Okay, first why would you uninstall the contact app that the other contact apps are going to be based off?
Second if someone can tell me how to find and share the apk file, I'll be more than happy to. I have the myappsharer app and that seems to be the one app that it won't let me share.

I think this is the APP that your looking for, let me know if it's not.

BETTER CONTACTS APP!!!
search market for "contapps" has a logo of a penguin...
i love this contact app and when you go to manage a contact it doesnt divert you to the installed contact app manager!!!

hey chrismcgraw... could you do me a favor and make a backup and post a copy of the "get 3d games" app link.. i heard it gives you 7 free games and i already deleted it cause i thaought it was bloatware... lol
thanks

Thanks
Thanks for the file...its the correct one, with the correct name, despite getting it in the right place, something is still missing. I tried an alternate Contacts.apk to no avail either.
Maybe if someone can post a list of the files found in /system/app I can pin-point what's missing...isn't there an odex file that goes with it?

I installed go contacts from the market and now my contacts show up in there so I'm back in business yeah buddy

I was going to say the same thing as you dude. LOL!

i do the same thing and regretting...Here's an idea:backup the contacts apk&odex in p920 by using system app remover to restore the backup in p925?

Has anyone been able to get the AT&T Address Book re-installed? I've tried both of the .apk files that were in this thread but no dice. "Application failed to install." Currently using a replacement contact app but that isn't really ideal. Any ideas?

System apps are always hard to reinstall on official rom...I called AT&T and they helped me with 2 hours and no result...the only thing we can do is waiting for the new rom or return it(if you buy it within 30 days and this is what i want to do)

This is how you do, install root explorer , copy the At&t....apk to system, (app) folder then restart.

Best Facebook Sync

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

I think you need stock Rom to save contacts to SIM or there might be an app for it. Not sure.

There is option to import contacts to sim

^ Import means bringing in from outside. I dont think you can do vice versa in Non-stock based custom roms. Again- Not sure.

Just login to google account from pc, go to contacts, and delete them. And disable syncing. After that clear contacts data, and restore contacts from sd card

Yes. www.google.com/contacts/

I also had that problem. Log into your Google account via PC (as yackovsky already said) and just merge duplicates.

I also had the same problem i had around 6-7 same contacts then i use go sms pro and batcg deleted all .It took me almost one hour to do as i was having around 4000 contacts
