Remove the account and add it back in. Try that.

I had that, seems to be when contacts are linked and you delete the phone contacts without unlinking them first. Also you seem to have to do a factory reset to be able to delete the google account as other apps use this account.Doing a factory reset from the sd card and phone options does work then put the accounts back on and sync.

So the only option is factory reset. I thought about adding another Google account and removing the offending one. The add the offending one back.

I thought i am on to the best syncing program - Google Sync but i am now doubting. I hate almost anything that will make me to factory reset!

Try this.
Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Now scroll down to Contacts > Clear data repeat for Contacts Storage.
Then try synchronizing your Google account again.

Thanks mate!

Great, just cleared contacts storage and it now works. Lost all my on phone contacts but have backed up anyway. Thanks for saving me a hard reset.

After completing an reinstall of my contacts there is one small problem. Before the my contact tab auto linked with my Facebook account and now it hasn't. I cannot link it myself because that option is not on the my contact tab details. Any ideas on how I can get the link suggestion again.

the same thing happened to me a few weeks back when i did this. Haven't figured it out yet but to be honest it doesnt bother me

Did you have to reinstall after a factory reset or clear the data in contacts storage app?

A little Q - what will happen if i were to delete my contacts in DHD and sync again with Gmail? Will that delete all my contacts in both places?

Why don't you create a few test contacts, one from your DHD and another from GMail. Sync them and delete both from your DHD.

Thanks for your help I just removed my Facebook for HTC sence account then added it again and with out me doing anything 20 minutes later it had linked my Facebook account to my contact card with out even asking.

Try resyncing before closing Gmail... The server may not have registered what you've done on your phone.

I guess that would make sense. I thought that because I enabled the undo feature, one would need to wait for a spell to sync up....but your answer makes more sense. LOL
Tried what was started above an it didn't help what can be causing this should I uninstall and then reinstall market gmail?
Try actually going into applications and deleting the data on Gmail then force sync it.

You. can do it from there: uncheck your phonebook, check the facebook contacts and delete them all, then re-check your phonebook contacts

I've got the same problem. I don't especially mind my Facebook imported contacts showing in the full 'People' list, but I do not want them cluttering up my phone dialler screen.
How do I make my phone dialler ONLY show the numbers from my 'real' contacts (i.e. just the ones I sync with Outlook)? I can't see any sort of View option in the Dialler screen menus.

Google sync problem!!

Hey guys,just received my DHD today and have a very annoying issue.
Starting off,I was stupid enough to import my contacts via bluetooth from my Desire(with HTC's Data Transfer) and it copied ALL of my contacts,including facebook ones,to my DHD's contacts.Then,because I didn't want my facebook contacts along with my normal ones(cause I have more than 800 contacts on facebook) I thought "I'll delete them all and google will sync the ones I want to my phone" and then deleted them all.
After that,I tried syncing with google but to no avail.It synced no contacts at all.No matter how many times I tried,the sync icon in settings started turning for some few seconds and stopped.And that happened again and again and again,each time I press the sync button.What's more,the arrow-and-circle syncing icon next to google's contacts will not disappear,it will stay there without moving.
I also tried disconnecting this account but it says that I cannot do that and that I would have to factory reset,WHICH IS WHAT I WANT TO AVOID,I had to restore many many apps manually(don't want to root yet) and don't want to do it again if possible.
ANY help appreciated!Thanks!
Log into GMail on your computer and check your contacts there. I'm hoping you didn't inadvertently delete them too when you deleted them off your DHD and pressed sync.

No,happily all of my contacts are there!Phew...
But still,the phone won't do anything.Strange is my Desire is alright...Or at least it seems so!
Thanks anyway!Appreciate it!
That's good to know.
Try this. Settings > Accounts & Sync > Tap your google account > Untick Contacts > Menu > Sync now > Now Reboot
Once booted up repeat, but put a tick in contacts.

Did that and guess what?It did something different!That's a surprise!
Anyway,seriously didn't expect it to do anything.But all it did was to say that Google sync is facing some problems and it will be back up soon or something like that...Guess I'll have to wait!
Hopefully it should sort itself out.

Judging from your username I am suspicious of something. You must be in Greece on Cypus I guess so, do you use any Greek localization?
I got a sync conflict and did the following to fix it...
Turn off Contacts sync:
From Home screen > Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > Google > untick Contacts
(you should also kill any Facebook sync enabled for the moment)
Then clear Contacts data:
From Home screen > Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All tab > find 'Contacts storage' and open it > Clear Data
...then turn on contacts sync again and it should do a fresh sync from scratch.
This should fix your problem as it will pull all the contact data freshly from your Google account.
Good luck.

There is known issue about this and I was going to suggest you turn back to English but if you sorted it out by the previous procedure, it's up to you. If it doesn't work 100% give it a try and change to English and compare. I gave up with Greek as the HTC Likes and similar services don't work ok.

Anyway,I'll try and see what happens!Let's see if it brings facebook connection back to my contacts...Thanks!
Great to know it at least helped you part of the way.
Did you re-enable Facebook sync after? I found it can sometime before it links them again.
Certainly can't help you with the Greek side of things!

Well,it's good to know someone wanted to help!thanks guys!
Anyway,facebook link is the least of my problems!I can do it manually again!although for the greek side of things I know you cannot do anything...that a$$hole Papandreou(our president or whatever he is)is to blame!

Does it happen via data or WiFi?
Or both?
Did u verify that they didn't sync by going to desktop site to actually see if they didn't actually sync?
Is it all Google accounts, or just certain ones....
contacts, gmail, voice, pictures, books... etc?
Worse case, sign out and resign in to see if helps

From time to time I have problems with contacts not displaying the pictures and/or numbers etc.
I clear the data for the "Contacts Storage" in Apps and then re-sync. Maybe you could try that and see what happens - Just make sure that you can correctly see your contacts in Gmail on your PC or laptop first and they are backed up!

This sync error occurs both for mobile data and Wifi.
And the sync errors only for contacts. Gmail, browser, photos, and calendar successfully synchronized.
I have tried to sign out then sign in again, but not works, still unable to sync for contacts.
Thanks anyway.

maybe your contac database at gmail was corrupted make another gmail account and copy your contacts to the new gmail and try your phone with the new gmail to sync.
I seem to be seeing after looking that I have the same issue. So I did a couple things like signing in and out and that didn't work. I backed up my contacts and deleted my contacts and that didn't work. However I did find something that works.
1. Export your contacts to SD card so you don't lose anything.
2. Go to Settings and find your Google Account and uncheck Contacts to sync.
3. Go to Settings/Apps slide over to all apps.
4. Go down to Contacts. Force stop and clear data.
5. Go to Contact Storage. Force stop and clear data.
6. Go back to your Google Account and recheck Contacts to sync.
At that point you should notice it takes a few seconds longer to sync but when finished showed it completed. If you lose any contacts actually in the Gmail remember you exported your contacts so you still have them.
To export contacts:
Go to Contacts, hit Menu, then click Import/Export and save to SD card.
I recommend exporting contacts on a reasonable basis anyhow uncase anything happens to the phone and/or Gmail so you still have a hard copy on your SD card. You can never be to sure.
I hope this helps and remember to thank me by clicking the thanks.
Edit: I'm also finding if you are running HaxSync that the problem happens more. May be a bug.
Great alternative to HaxSync is Facebook Contact Sync. Link Below:

Another great alternative to HaxSync is Facebook Contact Sync. I will update my above post with the Play Store link.
It happened for me also with Haxsync when I used the upload pics back to Google option. I unselected it, readded the Google account and it was fine again.

I can say without a doubt that HaxSync causes this problem. 3 phones now this has happened with and I can reproduce it.

How do I delete these pics with the picasa logos in my gallery?

You have to remove them from your Google account directly not from the phone. Then clear data on your picasa and reboot

I ran into the same problem few days ago, and here is what you can do!
EASIEST WAY "CHEATING"
Go to your gallery! THEN "Settings" THEN "Content to display" then uncheck picasa, and magically it should disappear from the phone!
NOW TO DELETE THESE PICTURES FROM YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT:
If you have access to the computer, go to your google plus account, and then you'll find the pictures set as a backup!
If you're using a cellphone!
Download Google Plus or Picasa App, it will use your gmail to log-in! Go to settings, and disable the image backup! Also you'll have the option to remove them for good from your account!
you can go to
Settings
Accounts
Google
uncheck pictures
then clear data for
Gallery
Media Services
this way it stays on your picasa but not ur phone
