If i create a new contact and then I synchronize my contact with my Gmail account (which actually doesn't contains any contact) I supposed to have the new contact also on my Gmail account, but that's not the case. The synchronization DELETES my contact on the phone. What's the problem? Am I doing something wrong?

I have 3 accounts in my HTC Desire. Gmail (or should I call this Google?) - the automatically saved emails that GMAIL keeps when you write to a person.
Phone - which are the phone numbers saved in my phone and
Facebook - So when I go to people, I see that there's like 4 categories when I press MENU and VIEW: SIM(0) ; Google(296); Phone(731) and Facebook (460)
Ok, first weird thing is that even if I choose to View only my Phone contacts, on searches and when I write an SMS, the suggestions include their Gmail and Facebook entries too- which is quite confusing because the reason I hid them is I only want to send an SMS (yeah I know theres an option "Only contacts with phone number"). Is this really the case? Next weird thing is that: Since some of my Phone contacts are actually my Gmail and FB contacts as well, I linked them from the phone app (I clicked Link in the Menu and chose their respective contacts). Okay, so in the list, I see the name of my Phone contact and at the same time if I click on their names I see email and FB info as well (the FB profile pic shows! neat!).
However, I found out that when I try to click on Edit it still let me choose which contact I will edit, in this case: Google or Phone - I thought I linked you 2 already, so it follows that if I add an info, like, another number then it (the Phone app) should assign it to the name as a whole, right? Apparently, the Link command in Phone app only makes you "see" one name in the list- but in other processes still treats your contacts separately. Okay good- at least I know now. But When I try to Delete the contact in Phone it also deletes the Google contact but Facebook contact remains. Does it really treat them separately or as one- basically the problem is that users need to know how the Phone app actually does it's process of syncing. Or at least wouldn't it make sense, for the system to ASK you which account you would want to delete the same way it asked which one you wanted to edit (as my experience did above)? Something like "Do you wanna delete: Google, Phone or ALL?" (I know Facebook is a bit complicated so it's ok if Facebook contact editing and deletion is not totally synced for now).
So when I got my Hero I had my contacts transferred to my phone at Sprint. Then when I signed into my gmail on my phone it added all my contacts again, giving me two of each contact.I tried to delete them and I did too many at one time. Now in my notification bar, every few minutes a message pops up and tells me "too many contacts deleted, what do you want to do? 1. Delete the items, 2. Undo the deletes, or 3. Do nothing for now. No matter what I do, nothing happens and the message comes up again 10 minutes later.Also, When I plug my phone into my computer with the cord provided, the USB connect symbol does not come up. I want to get music, pictures and files on and off of my phone. Any thoughts?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I just got my Droid Eris and sync with my gmail account. But now there is this constant message in my Notifications bar saying "Too many contacts deletes" and my only options are to:
Delete Items
Undo the Deletes
Do nothing for now
No matter which option I choose, the message comes back into my notifications.
I think what's happening is every time I send/receive and email, Gmail automatically saves the address to my contacts. Then it sends this new email address to the Contact list on my phone. And of course I delete it off my Contact list in my phone because I don't need it.
Verizon sales guy said I have to go into my gmail account setting and change it so that it stops saving every sent/received email address. I can't find this in my gmail settings and Google Help isn't helping
How do I get rid of this notification once and for all! Is there any way I can stop automatically saving EVERY SINGLE email address I send/receive to my PHONE? How do I keep these two Contact lists separate?
When I logoff Skype it deletes a random contact in my contact data. Does not happen every time but it happens enough to be a real pain. I have been monitoring this for about 3 weeks now. This is the only time I lose contacts. I always go to People - Menu - View before I logoff Skype to see how many contacts I have. It is so frustrating to see the number drop after I logoff Skype. Does anyone else have this problem? I feel it has to be a bug in the Skype application. I do see in Manage applications - Skype Mobile - Permissions that the application can read and write contact data. This supports what I am seeing. How do I go about getting this problem resolved?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded last night to 2.1 and while I'm annoyed at the superficial loss of settings, what is really annoying me is the automatic sync to google. I don't need my phone to sync my contacts, in fact I'd prefer that it did not.
So, in Settings - Accounts & sync, I unchecked Auto-sync. But I am getting that annoying message in the notification bar all the time that says "Too many Contacts deletes"
Suddenly some contacts disappeared from my Milestone after a synchronization. However the weird thing is that when i added manually the number of the person, automatically it brought up the photo that i previously had of the contact!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a reliable solution to keep my contacts in sync with Thunderbird and my (planned) DROID-mobile. With my old Symbian-phone I am using the Funambol-services and SyncML - which works very well. I tried to import all my contact details to Google-contacts now. But unfortunately Google does not provide own fields for street, zip and city but a single address field only. Is this the same for the DROID/Android2 - or are there fields for zip and city also? Do you have any recommendations how to handle this? I noticed that the development of Funambol client (SyncML) is stalled. So there is no chance to synchronize the DROID by SyncML, correct?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a normal SQLite database in my app, managed through my own ContentProvider and implemented via SQLiteOpenHelper. On the Droid only, every few weeks or so, the database just disappears. I have several users who wrote me about that, and I've seen it myself too now. I added some debug info (hard to repro when you only see it every few weeks), and in one instance, it just happened inbetween widget updates - first, the widget is displayed and shows the data just fine, the next time, the SQLiteOpenHelper's onCreate is called.
The app itself does some multi-threaded shenanigans, but all ContentProvider implementations have the synchronized keyword, all access to the database is via the content provider and in the instance described above, there is no multi-threading going on (the app itself hadn't been running, just the widget). And again, this is only on the Droid. I've never seen it on the G1. I never close the database, but it being a content provider, it sounds like I'm not supposed to do that in the first place (I remember hackbod saying that the idea is that the OS will close the app's process when necessary, which will automatically close the database).
Having all my facebook contacts who have their mobile nos on their profile coming up in my contacts and all the ones with their birthdays coming up in my calendar. Any idea how I can stop this because it's annoying having all this info I don't want amongst the stuff I do.

I have about 40 songs of hers that I tried to add and when I disconnect the phone from my computer and view the Music list, it only has 3, the same 3 every time. I'm putting the files on my SD card in MP3 > Cascada in their separate album folders. It keeps the folders and AlbumArt.jpg files but deletes the songs! Why is it doing this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm writing an android application that maintains a lot of "state" data...some of it I can save in the form of onSaveInstanceState but some of it is just to complex to save in memory.
My problem is that sliding the phone open destroys/recreates the app, and I lose all my application state in the process. The same thing happens with the "back" button, but I overloaded that function on my way. Is there any way to overload the phone opening to prevent it from happening?

The update hasn't started rolling out yet, but InformationWeek has already learned some disappointing news about it.According to Verizon Wireless, two of the biggest features being introduced by Android 2.2 Froyo won't be included in the Droid update: tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot creation.It is possible that Verizon Wireless is purposely leaving these features out of the Droid to entice customers to buy the Droid X (which offers hotspot creation) or the unannounced but imminent Droid 2.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using the getExternalFilesDir(null) method to save to the SD card. Saving and reading from the SD card is fine. The problem I am having is that every time I edit anything in Eclipse and rerun the app the data on the SD card is deleted. I know that saving to the directory returned by getExternalFilesDir(null) will allow the files there to be deleted when my app is uninstalled but is there a way to turn it off for just app updating? Is this only cause I am doing it from Eclipse and it won't delete the data when the app is updated from the market?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have an online multiplayer game that saves some login information in the SharedPreferences. Our app is copy protected and everything was going really well until this weekend when we released an update for it. It seems that at least some of the people are having their SharedPreferences deleted when they updated too the new app. As you can imagine our users are furious because they're all loosing their profiles, and our ranking is dropping fast.
We've tried to reproduce this a hundreds ways but are unable. We're wondering if this could be related to installing a copy protected app over a copy protected app? Since that's the only situation we haven't tested and can't test.
Have been following Android news for some time and finally I decide that this platform is the on to love.Now the hardest part is deciding. Right now I am torn between HTC Legend, the upcoming Galaxy S, or Xperia X10.What I need:
1. A device that can have synchronization with a PC and/or internet storage to store contacts
2. Multimedia player. Preferrable able to play MP4, MKV, or AVI files (with Divx and Xvic odecs). Can be native software or third parties.
3. 3.5mm audio out jacks
4. Shipped with handsfree accesories.
5. Can play good games.
6. Can read and edit office documents
7. Agenda software with alerts and such.
8. Loud speaker.
9. Camera must be there. I don't care how crappy, it's just need to be there.
10. Flash that can be used as torchlight. Not a must, but it's not to have (my Siemens S75 has one, and have been very very usable and durable!)
