General :: Syncing (No Contacts Visible) ASUS PadFone 2
Dec 25, 2012
The issue here is that when I turn on the device, go to contacts and they are all there. After some time, may be 5-10 mins, someone calls me or texts or I go to contacts myself, there are no names stored, except for the device owner (me).
What I have tried to do:
- restart the device to see contacts (yes, that works, but I don't want to restart my device everytime I want to make a call or receive a text message)
- from settings>applications>all tab>contacts => close application and clear cache buttons (not sure how they are in English), go to contacts app choose account which do I want to sync from, in my case its Google only, press sync contacts and voila, they are there. However, for only a few minutes again. If you repeat syncing without closing program and clearing cache, then it will not work.
- filter - doesn't work. Either Google option has many suboptions but no contacts or Google option is there but no sublists (i.e. all contacts, family, friends etc.)
- all my contacts ARE in Google account, which I can see via google.com/contacts - so this isn't the problem.
- device sometimes doesn't want to sync. it does not say it has not been synced, but I can see that the "Last time" it was synced was when it really synced contacts that I could see them, but not just now.
I do not want to use any "aftermarket" apps to view contacts, as I want my device to be as stock as possible.
The first day I bought PadFone 2 it advised me to upgrade to 4.1.1 Android, which I did, so I don't know whether it did work before.
Uninstall your whatsapp messenger and the problem should be resolved on your padfone 2. The problem is the conflict of address books of your native contacts app and of whatsapp contacts. They seem to be stored in the same directory. Now need to wait for whatsapp update.

My padfone was bricked when I tried to replace the recovery by TWRP via goomanager (TWRP official recommended).
The procedure of goomanager makes nothing happens, it seems like just download the TWRP package.
The problem is that phone has different protection policies compared to HTC, samsung etc and the bootloader (fastboot mode) is locked by default.
In other words, there is no such a way to connect your phone when your rom, recovery did not pass the verification unless unlock the bootloader by ASUS official tool and void warranty before your operations.
If the recovery or roms did not pass the validation then the left-top corner of screen will show 'invalid kernel' and the phone haven't been unlocked to be premised to visit fastboot mode then the phone will be bricked.
I think there is two way to unbrick, the first is to unlock the bootloader by external connector, the other is to flash official recovery data by external. But when I tried to search solutions, I got nothing about padfone A66 even that RIFFBOX official forum.

When I first got my tablet it synced all my apps that I have on my phone onto my tablet. All me emails sync up but how do I get it to sync all the new apps again? It's annoying to have to put calendar appointments in both my phone and tablet. Same as every app I download on my phone. I seem to be doing double duty constantly. It did it once but never again.

My wife's phone - which is a ZTE Blade running 2.2 - is losing it's favorites in the contacts manager each time it syncs to Google Contacts.
I looked up her Google Contacts [URL] and there is no "Starred in Android" group, as it should be. I think it should be automatically created when she fovorites a contac in her phone. But instead, it deletes the starring of the contacts in the phone each time it syncs.

The terminal was mistakenly brick while I introduced changes to the file build.prop. Now the only way to turn on, is flashing the firmware again (putting the original file from fastboot does't work). I wanted to know how to transfer the firmware zip file to internal memory because the device is not recognized as FTP.

in my account settings I have FB synced to include in my contacts. A few weeks ago though I looked in my contacts and just my original added contacts showed up, no FB contacts. I can't even sync my existing contacts to their FB account.
I think I read somewhere that there is some sort of dispute maybe with Google and FB but I could be completely wrong!

I have a Droid maxx which I use for personal and business use. I have been able to use separate apps to view my personal (gmail) email and work email from Outlook, however, I have not been able to find a way to view my Outlook contacts and calendar on the phone without syncing my phone to outlook. I do not want to have my business contacts comingled with my personal contacts, so is there an app I can use to simply view my outlook contacts and calendar with out a sync to my phone?

I sync my contacts with Google. OK, how exactly do I do this? People have said, sign on to google and it's all automatic.
First of all, I'd like some verification that my Contacts have been sync'ed before I shut down my existing phone and fire up a new one. I cannot find where -- with my phone -- that I can view my Contacts on Google's website. When I go from my PC, I can clearly see in GMail that my phone Contacts are NOT there at all.
Second, with the Gmail app on the phone, I cannot find where you can view and manage Contacts like you can on the PC view.

I just got my first Android phone, Sony Experia Z. I was wondering how i would be able to sync the phone contacts saved to my Hotmail account to my new phone? I used to have an iPhone before this one and before that, a Windows Phone. From my Windows Phone, it automatically saved my contacts to my Hotmail account and when i got my iPhone and added that account, it synced them back so i didn't manually have to add all my contacts again. How can i re-do this on my new phone?

Dropped my Samsung S2 into water and it was not at all salvageable. To my shock I wasn't using a micro SD nor are my data as SYNCED at I thought they were - basically I lost all my contact numbers. I borrowed another S2 so I'm still using Android.
My question is, in order not to lose all my painfully re-built-in-progress contacts, how do can I save numbers that will be synced to my gmail account? here's my actual question:
I was asked where to save the new entries I put in, thinking in terms of syncing I chose to save to google. HOWEVER, google synced with the existing contacts i have with GMAIL. I.e. I can't locate a friend's contact card without having to dig through a WHOLE list of email addresses, e.g. some random inquiry email address that was a one off and i will NEVER use again.
HOW can i separate the two? My objective: save contacts somewhere which can be autosynced so my contacts can be retrieved in case phone dies again/to make it available for syncing on any new device/just as a reassuring back up - WITHOUT mingling them with gmail contacts (i.e. pure email addresses not phone numbers) .
Another observation, if you are still reading, a friend sent me some contact cards via whatsapp, and despite having chosen to save contacts by default to google (instead of sim/SD), those contact cards are saved on the phone. What's my best option? Thinking of getting S4 and seriously, manually putting everything in again is unthinkable, almost an insult to smartphones...
If i may side trek further, when i lost all my data, my calendar events were the only thing I have "sync-saved". For whatsapp history (from where ppl who thought i used an iphone said) it is saved on icloud so all the conversations will be kept intact AND from whatsapp u can make out a lot of the numbers. Instead for android there's not syncing with a cloud for whatsapp, now I have fired up whatsapp again I get these "Shell" group chats with no history and just several numbers which i dunno who's who. If android users can benefit from background saving of whatsapp history ONLINE (and not inside the phone i.e. like me lost when sth abrupt happens?)

Here's what i'm doing :
1) Desktop PC (Outlook 2010) <> USB MyPhoneExplorer <> Phone (ICS SGS2)
This creates contacts on my phone under the "phone" category.
2) Hosted Exchange <> Wireless Activesync <> Phone
This creates contacts on my phone under the "exchange" category.
As the contacts are exactly the same, the contacts are automatically merged and i have 2 separate categories of contacts that display as 1 list which is what i'm looking for.
3) When I resync, all of my exchange contacts are deleted (both on the phone and server) which is not what I want.
Is it possible to have a single set of contacts that I can sync across my desktop PC, phone and exchange server ?

I seem to be having a sync issue with my Droid.When I add a contact to my phone, it doesn't sync into "My contacts" in Gmail; it'll sync into "All contacts". So, a couple of questions:
1) How can I get the phone to add new contacts created on my Droid into "My contacts" in Gmail?
2) I'm trying to understand the point of "All contacts". Why does Gmail want to keep a list of anyone that I've ever sent an email to? Otherwise, it'll be simple enough to just merge the two groups and call it a day.(Note: When I bought my Droid I did NOT have the VZW sales person transfer my contacts or any data from my old Blackberry to my Droid. I used Google Sync on my BB and synced my contacts from my BB to Gmail, then when I got the Droid, it automatically pulled my contacts from Gmail.)(FWIW, yes, I did a search and found two great threads: http://androidforums.com/support-troubleshooting/15042-how-do-i-push-droid-contacts-back-gmails-my-contacts.html and http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/15069-contacts-dont-really-synchronize.html but I have a different situation than most of those guys and I'd actually prefer to sift through and merge a couple of contacts from "All contacts" to "My contacts" every once in a while than deal with a backup and factory reset.)

Just installed first non HTC based ROM (CM10). It doesn't ask to sign in with gmail and then doesn't sync contacts and apps. I tried putting in my gmail account where it asked for my email and yet no contacts or apps.
Where, and why can i sync all my stuff up at?

currently I still have got Sony Xperia X8. I know it's a little bit old but still I want to keep it for few months. Now I'm thinking about rooting it and upgrading it to Android 2.2 or 2.3. All the stuff is stored in the phone's memory. I'd like to synchronize my contacts and calendar events to Google - tried few tricks but still without any result.
It looks like it's not possible to sync contacts which weren't stored as Google Contacts. I need to do the same with my calendar events.
I would really like to keep my data stored in the phone's memory as well as on Google. So I'm looking for sync option. If this is not possible then I'll need to get used to store everything just on Google but first I need to import my data there as well.
How do you sync your data or what solution do you use and why?

I see my phone contacts have synched with my gmail contacts, which is good. Except that only the email addresses are visible. Not the phone numbers. I have checked on the Accounts and Sync settings for the gmail - and it is set to transfer all (all boxes are ticked).

I'm developping an application in Android 1.6 (and can't use 2.0 or older).
I add a new contact on my phone as following code...
After that, I add phone numbers in the same way. It works as I am able to view the new added contact with following code :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, contactUri);
this.startActivity(intent);
My problem is that, after adding and viewing the new contact, I can't see it in Contacts application unless I synchronized all my contacts (I also did a search with the contact's name, found it, nevertheless it wasn't added in contacts list).
How can I programmatically update the contacts in order to immediately have my new contact added in Contacts application?

When i ran my old application in 1.6 i noticed that the progress bar was not showing up on the screen.When i analyzed it further i found the issue.The progress bar is getting activated but its not visible since my background color is also white.When i changed the background color i was able to see the progress bar.Is there no other way to make the progress bar visible other than changing the background color..Shouldn't the progress bar be visible under all background colors??

I cleaned up my contact list, rearranged and merged a few etc etc but now those changes are not trickling down to my phone over wifi or 3g. It has been a week and still no luck. Even if I manually sync, I still do not see the changes...

My son managed to put a password onto my Asus Memo Pad. So now when I try and start it up I'm faced with a password no one knows. I've tried the little trick of holding down the volume and power buttons, but the "No USB cable connected!" message comes up, even though the USB cable is connected to my PC.
