when i add contacts to my phonebook - how can i update them to my GMAIL account??
i tried doing UPDATE from the phone and nothing added to my GMAIL account
why is that so??
another thing -
how can i delete my GMAIL account from my phone? (i mean for my own settings like gmail address and password - lets say i want to sell my phone to other one.. without doing formats )
Don't know for the removing account, for the contact issue: Use google sync on your phone.
To remove your gmail account info, just do a "factory data reset" I believe it is in settings-sd card settings.
As for the gmail update, it should automatically do it, you need background data on and account sync, and obviously a connection to the network, either 3g or wifi
Hope that helps

Hi - I had this problem on my wife's HTC Legend - turns out that I'd inadvertantly set up the contacts as phone contacts rather than gmail contacts, so it wasn't syncing them.. I had to export them all and then reimport then as google contacts.. then it worked.
ok where can i set this settings ?

I thought it would be a great idea to sync my work outlook account with Google calendar via Google sync on the desktop.
I synced my outlook to Google calendar just find until I realized that there is no option to select a sub calendar so it synced thousands of events from my outlook to my primary calendar in Google.
Since my Google calendar account is also synced with my phone, my phone now has thousands of events with out the ability to toggle them getting my personal and work calenders all in one.
I went into Google via web, and deleted ALL events and wiped everything clean. I wanted my phone to also be clean. When I synced my phone the changes did not reflect what I did on the web.
I forced synced for the past 8 hours, and turned the phone off twice since then.
I found that it is syncing but not removing the old events. I change the calendar name in the web and it also changes it on my phone. But it never removes all those thousands of events off my phone.
Another test revealed that if I add an event on my phone, it will sync to the web.
If I add an event it will sync to my phone.
If I delete an event on my phone, it will delete it off the web.
Here is the issue, if I delete an event off the web, it does not delete it off my phone.
How can I remove these thousands of entries on my phone now?
I cannot remove my Google account and re-sync because when I tried it said my only option is to factory reset which I prefer not to do.
Thanks.
Try to change your google account password on web. When your phone won't sync then remove that account and add a new account but you can still use the same account name. I hope I make sense.

I got a nexus one just updated it to 2.2 and added contacts exactly how they are on facebook. i tryed to relogging in out and out several times and i noticed some people would get a pic then some would lose a pic???? werid my auto sync is on and i been re syncing 100 times..... and no luck facebook setting is sync contacts in contact list only??? what could be the problem?????? i tryed all this?
its like when i sign out then sign in it updates most of them only when i do that but new contacts after sign in wont update? SO ITS THE AUTO SYNC THAT ISNT SYNCING?
sometimes I got weird problem when syncing gmail too,
solved by deleting account and re-login to account
or clear data for gmail application.
so try first to delete facebook account and re-log into it
if doesn't solve, then delete the account, clear data for facebook application then re-login
good luck
yea when u DELETE the account nad relogin it will sync but thne when u add one right after it wont sync. Basically the only way to sync is add all the contacts and sign out sign back in there isnt auto sync that works
Hi All
I have a Milestone 2 and have set this up so that it syncs my Hotmail (via corporate sync) and yahoo accounts. The hotmail account also syncs my contacts and calendar.
I noticed that random contacts would dissapear from my contacts list or that some would have part of their details removed (like phone numbers). On my hotmail account and outlook the contacts are still all there and fine and it is just my phone. I spoke to Motorola who told me to do a hard reset. I did this but still have the same issue. Now they want me to send the phone to them for 2 weeks. I dont see why this is needed as its obviously a software fault that they need to fix. Any ideas on how I can solve this?
I was thinking of not using motoblur and using another app to do the EAS for the hotmail account. Is this possible?
I also have some other issues I have listed below:
If set to automatic the weather widget always shows I am in Lyonsdown (unless I set it to manual and London - then it shows my local weather for London). But I want it to work out where I am wirelessly so when I move around I get the current weather where I am and not for Lyonsdown all the time.
Facebook errors all the time saying my password is wrong yet it still seems to sync OK with facebook. I have removed facebook for now as I am fed up with it asking me to continuously enter a correct password.
If I log into motoblur to locate my phone it never works and it also shows the wrong phone number for my phone.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I know there is a ton of threads on this, but I can't seem to find an answer. I am using imilka's Glacier Sense v1.3 and I have all my contacts doubled. How can I fix this?
Thank you in advance.

Check by pressing the windows key when in the people/contacts which accounts you have selected to show, if you have phone and google choose just one. if you only have google, sign into gmail on your pc, select contacts on the left and then you can merge duplicates. on your phone resync google contacts under settings, accounts and sync, google account, and it should do it for you.

I have gmail and facebook both on there. I went into gmail and unchecked the option to sync with contacts. Should I leave this one checked and not facebook? I want to have my friends profile pics auto sync to my contacts. I did try to uncheck gmail but everything is still doubled. Will signing into gmail and doing what you said, have any effect if I want facebook to sync?

depends how you originally imported your contacts and where you saved them.
If on first boot you enabled them through a previous android build keep google contacts sync on.
The facebook side of things will sync your contacts, but not right away, it will try and match existing ones and give you a notification that contacts can be linked and let you check the right facebook profile is being synced with the correct contact.
Check you have nothing under sim card and phone accounts showing also.
Well I deleted everything data/cache with CWM. So I thought that would of cleared everything. I also did a full wipe of my SD card. I then flashed the glacier rom with CWR. I did however find a very easy fix to the contact problem. I was able to click view inside the contacts tab and uncheck any accounts that were set to sync contacts. So now my contacts only show up one entry. Now my problem is when I send a text, the contacts are still doubled. I am not sure how to fix that one..
I Am able to sync my Google reader, my gmail and calendar but my contacts dont seem to be able to sync? how can i fix this?
Go to Settings and then Accounts and sync. Click on your gmail address and make sure that all the options are selected including Sync Contacts. Have you already done this?
One silly mistake I made when I first got my phone was I added a bunch of contacts as a "T-Mobile" contact and when they didn't show up as a Google Contact I figured out what I did wrong.
thanks for your reply and yes i have tried that but i just cant seem to get it to sync when i flashed cm 7 the contact sync work but i have returned to stock sense rom but it doesnt seem to want to sync.
Ive had a few different problems like this before so....
Do you mean; When you add your gmail, it doesn't sync and add your contacts that you have saved to your gmail account? Or when you add a new contact it doesn't save it to your contacts on your gmail account?
