[Q] App Data no longer syncing - Moto X Q&A

For whatever reason App Data for my Google Account stopped syncing 12/12/2013 and turning it off and back on isn't resolving the issue and I'm not sure what I did between then and now that may have caused it to stop syncing. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this and how I can go about troubleshooting. Thanks! :good:

Try removing and then adding the gmail account back.

When I go to remove my Google Account it says "Removing this account will delete all of its messages, contacts, and other data from the phone!" What messages are these? SMS? What other data will be removed? I really don't feel like losing any data.

I am not sure if that refers to hangouts sms because i not sure if removing account will delete texts from hangouts. It didn't affect sms from previous sms app. I think it will just reset your settings/preferences.

[Q] Sync contacts with background data off?

Simply for better battery life, I've been considering dropping background data and autosync. However, when I do that, I notice that my ability to sync my contacts and calendar with Google becomes greyed out.
How do I keep syncing my calendar and contacts with Google even with background data disabled?
You have to do it manually. Auto Sync is part of the background data.

I understand that, but I can't find a way to auto-sync. If I go into the accounts that sync under settings, it only shows "*account* sync is off". When I go into it, it shows the date that it last synced. No other options.
If you tap on one of them (contacts, calendar, or gmail) it will sync.

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.

Doubled/triples calendar items and contacts

Since I updated to the official 4.0.4 I constantly get contacts and calendar items duplicated. Do you guys have this? Is there a possibility to wipe just the calendar and contacts and resync? Just taking the tickboxes out and putting them back.in the account settings doesn't cut it.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
may be the contacts are in your sim too.
Hi
You're not using multiple computers to sync by any chance? Further, if the information comes from Exchange Server, don't bother as you will never get it straight. I've tried everything to sync with Outlook and gave up, MS and Android just don't match

I found a solution. First export exchange contacts to your ext usb and then open outlook and delete exchange contacts. When you delete from your pc your phone contacts will be deleted. Finally import the contacts from your ext usb and sync with your exchange. 2 days left nomore dublicated contacts.

I found a solution. Just flashed Crash ROM v8 based on LRK and problem solved no more duplicate contacts nor calendar items. I am happy again! 4 days now and everything is perfect
Check this thread for solution. Apparently an update to gmail app solves it!

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.
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app
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
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
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.
