Hi, I'm unable to sync google contacts. Contacts are about 1500, but there are only 140 in the phone.
I tried to remove and add google account but nothing helps. Any advice?

I have contacts on my phone most of them don't have email accounts they are just phone numbers. When I try to sync my contacts to the gmail account on my phone none of the numbers show up in my gmail account contacts listing. However, if I have contact phone numbers in my gmail account and do a sync, the phone numbers come to my phone. Basically, it is like the sync is only working in one direction. How can I fix this?
I'm fairly confident the sync does only work in that one direction...someone else correct me if I'm wrong?

when you add a contact on your phone, you have to choose "google" as where it's saved or else it won't sync to google

Ok, so how do you add the google 'g' to contacts you already have on your phone without just recreating them all?

I am not in front of my phone, but there is an option to export all contacts to a file and then an option to import them. I imported all my mine and added them to "phone" so i could add custom ringtones.
You may be able to add them all to google on the phone the same way.
There is also a market app for exporting contacts to csv - you may be able to do this then import through google on the desktop. YOu can use the linking feature to link phone contacts to google contacts.
Hi, I am a new android user. I am having problem getting my google calendar (web) to sync with the phone. It doesn't show the option for me to select and sync the calendar with my google account. By the way I have 2 google account. Once is for random junk and the other is for school. So far the the captivate only lets me sync the Calendar with the junk account but not the other account for school. I tried removing the account and adding it again it would only let me sync mail and contacts but no calendar option. I was thinking of removing my junk account but it says that I need to do a factory restore which I don't want to do. Has anyone run into this problem? I search but couldn't find anything similar.
I have a little problem. I just found out my contacts are corrupted after I tested a contact management application. Unfortunately, I only found out after some days, and after the contacts had been synchronized back to google.
The good news - I have a couple of nandroids and some titanium backups made before the contacts got corrupted. I can get back to the correct version.
The bad news - as soon as the phone syncs with google, the contacts get overwritten with the corrupted ones. I even tried clearing google contacts, and syncing, and all that got me was a empty contacts list both in google and the phone.
What I need - a way to force overwriting google contacts with the restored backup. I know I probably could go opening and updating each contact one by one (adding a space on the name or something like it) and that could work, tricking the synchronization engine to prefer the phone contacts to the google version, but I have over 600 contacts, with 150 with phone numbers; I'd rather not do that by hand.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!
Try this, Get all your contacts back from the Nandroid. Don't connect the nexus to your Google account just yet, goto the contacts in N1 & click on menu button choose to export to .vcf after that copy the .vcf file to your computer. Log into your Gmail account on the computer and delete all the Gmail contacts, then choose to import .vcf file from your computer to your Gmail account, once you've managed to get the contacts imported to Gmail setup your N1 to Sync to the Gmail account. That should do it. Cheers.
Thanks, but I had already tried that - and ended doing exactly that. The problem with that solution is that you lose all your groups, favourites, and starred contacts. Now I'm backing up contacts in gmail a group at a time, so I won't have this problem again.

Bit of a pita I know but as far as I can see there's really no other way if you use Groups.

Actually, I'd try deleting all contacts off the phone once it's synched with Google (then sync again, obviously), THEN restoring the .vcf

Hm, suddenly my Calender app don't work. I start the app and get the msg "No Calender in use" (Or something, I have a norwegian phone). In settings there is no "Calender" to choose...
How can I get it to work again?
My Google-account don't seem to have "Calender-sync" thing...
Don't know if you tried this but you may want to remove and add the google account again so that it can sync your calendar.

Only thing I can sync from google is Google+, contacts and Gmail...
Hello, I have a Lumia 640 running Windows 8.1
As you can see in the screenshot, my google account keeps syncing non-stop, i can't stop it, neither can I delete it. The google mail icon dissappeared from my homescreen.
How can I delete my google account without a factory reset?
Thank you very much!
you tried disable internet (network), turn off and on phone?
also check permissions to access google account and remove if needed
