Hi guys. All my current contact are sync from google and not save on the phone or samsung server. My problem now is contact wont fully sync on my gear. Random contact was chosen. Some from google,some from simcard and some from phone. When i choose favourites only, nothing willbe dispalyed unless i choose contact from the 1st sync as favourites. Tried resetting gear,install/uninstall gear manager. The weird problem is when i make a call on the gear. The gear recognize the 'not syncing number'. Anybody facing the same problem? Does gear have limit on how many contact to sync?
Nobody have the same problem? Sending my watch to tech support then...
The problem is about syncing the contacts from cloud... if your phone is fully synced with all the contacts, then your gear will display all.
I have a problem that maybe could be yours.
None of my contacts sync with Gear if I had chosen a Custom Label for it, and all my phone numbers are customized with the name of cellphone's operator. I noticed that only the contacts with standard "mobile", "work" etc... will sync with gear.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
thanks,
Marcelo

Thx for the reply. Im thinking our problem is actually the same. All my contact are using custom label. I label them to my country operator same as u. Maybe this is the reason im not getting it showed in my gear.

I got an HD7 off Craig's the other day and have been having rouble syncing my google contacts properly.
coming from a Nexus One, all my contacts are saved on Google. So I created a gmail account and synced my contacts, email and calendar. All the contacts do show on my People Hub, but the problem is, it's only names, no phone numbers!
Am I doing something wrong? I've tried syncing manually too with no success.
Please help!

Are your Google Contact's phone numbers labeled properly? Windows Phone 7 will only recognize specific labels. So for example, if you were to label a phone number in your contact's entry as "Blahblah", Windows Phone will not recognize that as an entry and it will not appear in your contact on your phone. It has be labeled as Home, Work, or Mobile in order for Windows Phone to recognize it.

Thanks for the reply.
I made sure all my contacts were labeled as "Mobile" because the Nexus wont show them up for messaging if they arent. So no, that isnt a problem.
Any other suggestions?
Btw, the HD7 works flawlessly with my $5.99 t-zones plan, which is the only reason I bought it off of Craigslist even though I was eligible for an upgrade..

Is it just the phone numbers that do not show up? What about other details like birthday, address and what not, do those show up properly?
Also, try creating a new contact and just throw some bogus random information in there and see if the new contact syncs properly.
Hello there,
i am just trying to figure out how the lumia 920 works and got problems with the syncing of contacts etc.
i conected a microsoft account and the settings just say sync emails.. but obviously they sync contacts etc as well.
now my outlook.com people thingy show not the same stuff as my mobile phone.
got both connected to facebook and google.
but if i change something in google it doesnt show up on either of the machines.. so i used to sync a couple of times till my new google contacts where suitable.
so does the linking and syncing not always work on outlook.com and wp8

Google and outlook contacts are kept separate. Changing a contact info on google will not affect the one on outlook and vice versa.

But why is the information on Outlook.com different to the information on the phone?
Sometimes the links sync. sometimes they dont.. sometimes i cant see the same contacts anyways.
And google info is not synced on outlook.com after i changed it.
you can edit on the phone the gmail contacts but they will not change on outlook.com.. on my side at least

Google info not changing is CORRECT. Although contacts are linked, they are treated as separate contacts. Editing an outlook contact will not affect a google one, even though they are linked.
As for why the info on your phone is different, it could be that your phone is displaying info from your google contact instead of from outlook.
However, I will admit sync is buggy. On my phone, contacts will sync, but sometimes, the phone number will not be synced to the phone, resulting in a black contact
The problems are worse on win8.but doesn't ur phone offer the option to edit on google ?from outlook.com i know its read only on google and also just on the first sync.really annoying

Hmm? I don't really understand what you wanted.
If you want to edit a google contact on your phone, it is possible. Unfortunately, my phone is still under repair, so I cant give you a step by step guide.
Hey,
I'm having issues syncing my Google contacts. Apparently, it syncs EVERY contact I ever use in gmail.. All used email-addresses are in there, and some names pop-up multiple times.
This issue only appears in the messaging dialog. My phone-book is clean, I only selected 'my contacts' there & those are the wanted ones.
I've already encountered many topics on this, but none had a working solution. I'm not sure if it is something typically 'samsung' or if it appears on all devices (a friend of mine's HTC is OK)
How do you work around this?
- am I somehow able to tell google only to sync 'my contacts' instead of 'all contacts'?
- am I somehow able to filter the contact-list in the messaging dialog? (like the normal phone-book)
- do you guys simply use an other messaging app, that use the default phone-book?
- do you guys use some kind of specific syncing tool?
- .. ?
Thanks guys!
Sven
I notice you can 'solve' it, by removing those 'all contacts' so that only 'my contacts' remain (quite logic I think ). You can then go to your settings in gmail, and disable the 'auto add to contact' feature.
WARNING: by doing this, you will not see those other 'unsaved' email-addresses when you simply want to send an email! So, only do this if your contact-list is up-to-date. I just disabled that feature, hope I won't miss it too much..
hi,
i seem to have an issue with creating recurring calendar entries on my z3c.
using the built-in calendar app or 3rd party apps, i can create a calendar entry but as soon as i make it recurring, it doesn't show up.
does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong ? can someone test creating a recurring appointment on their z3c ?
thanks in advance
Im not sure it helps but it works perfectly for me.
I can only think it might have something to do with your google account sync? Have you set that up?
It might be completely unrelated. I cant think of anything else except maybe clear the data from calendar and restart
hi there,
thanks for taking the time to reply - much appreciated.
i sync my local device calendar (i.e not google) with another pc and the items have appeared on the sync'd calendar but still don't appear on my own device which is odd.
at least i know it's specific to my device rather than a z3c issue - thanks for that.
Hi
I have the same issue with my Z3. When I enter a recurring appointment, it doesnt show on the phone. It shows on every other device expect the Z3. Any solution?
Best regards
works fine for me as well.. could it be you create the recurring event in a calendar that is not selected to be displayed on your z3c ?
e.g. I have multiple calendars I sync with google, but I have selected several to not display on my device (they are synced though), maybe you have similar setup and post the new event to a device calendar by default that is selected to not display...
In my case, thats not the issue. I only use one calendar in Google. I've used the same calendar for years, on different phones, and in different apps, without any problems. The problem ocurred when switching to Sony Z3.

I believe the Sony has a "device" calendar though, that doesn't sync to google.. so chances are you are creating the event correctly in your google calendar, which is then synced to your other devices - but the sony is set to display the device calendar, which is obviously empty.. look into the left hand side pull-out menu on the sony calendar app and see which calendars are checked to display..
Hello
Just got my N6 last week and so far it's best phone i've ever had.
Everything is working exept contact sync against my VW company car.
My Note 2 workes perfectly in the same car.
The problem is that it syncs every google contact but none of my exchange buisness contacts..
I can see who calls on the phone, but the car just shows the number.
Anyone have a sulotion for this?

Export your exchange contacts and import those in the google contacts.
Exporting is no solution since i want to keep them separate.
Found the solution.
Go in to the "contacs" app and select "contacts to display". Set up a choice here that includes google and exchange.
Weird that i had to do this both sets of contacts show up in the phone app.
