I have two groups of contacts "MyContacts" and "Utilities". When I set up synching I selected to copy "All contacts".
Unfortunatey, when I look what's on my area on sonyericsson.com/wportal I see only the contacts from the group "MyContacts".
I.e. the site creates a false feeling of security - if I need to restore my phone from this site I will irrecovarebly lose lots of data.
I don't know is SE forgot to test their function or Android-hackers don't understand the features of the contacts.
All area of handling the contacts stinks seriously, and mkes you wander if the Android people ever used a mobile phone :
1. X10 does not accept contacts sent via SMS (VCARD-format), (or via MMS or bluetooth)
2. X10 does not sync with Outlook where most of business people have their contacts, and maintain them when receiving corporate mails etc.
3. The only way to get the contacts is to export from PC to a csv-file and import to gmail, and then sync to the phone. This is not that flexible due the export via csv. I.e. If I create cntacts in the phone they will not reach Outlook.
When I go to sync my contacts with my Gmail account my phone only registers only half my contacts. Here is what it is doing it shows some as google contacts on my phone and the remaining ones it shows them listed as phone. I cannot figure out how to fix this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've checked my phone's sync settings, synced several times, logged in and out of Gmail online to see if anything has been updated. No such luck. Icon by phone numbers saved on phone is a cell phone, rather than the letter "G" which typically represents contacts pulled from Gmail online. I've had this issue - I believe - with my previous Samsung. Although I've seen this question brought up before, the answers are typically not device specific or have not been useful and clear to follow.
As a new user, I had difficulty negotiating this site and finding the best place to post this. There is not an LG Optimus L9 Forum so, if there is a location where this post might encourage more visibility.
Just wondering if there is an app or a procedure to get your facebook contacts to automatically sync with your phones contacts as well as your google contacts. For instance if you add someone as a friend on facebook and they have their email and phone number filled out in their profile, that information would automatically be added to your phone. Is there a way to do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn my Droid there was a setting to only sync Facebook data for contacts who also were Google contacts. On the X, there doesn't seem to be that option anymore. I don't want all of my Facebook "friends" to show up in my contact list on my phone but I would like Facebook data to sync for my actual contacts in my Google contact list. Has anyone figured this out?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have searched for an hour and a half with no luck. Is it possible to get your hotmail contacts to sync with the contacts on my droid? I am already not happy with the phones ability to get my mail from hotmail but will deal with that later. Has anyone else sync'd their hotmail contacts to the droid contact list. Sorry if I repeated this thread.

When I try and sync my contacts from my phone to google the phone Say's and always has done:
Sync is currently experiencing problems, It will be back shortly.
I'm on a stock OS with the latest updated ROM.
I am unable to sync Phone Contacts with Sony Ericsson website (but the Calendar and Bookmarks are syncing).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI logged in to my gmail and needed to send email and it wouldn't suggest contacts anymore. I went into contacts and all of them gone except the ones that only had email field filled in. The groups that i created are there but no contacts.
I went into my phone and google contacts are there but they won't sync, errors out with "sync is temporary down".
All this creates another problem for me, I have phone contacts and google contacts in my Eris. Phone contact are synced to PC and all is good but I need my google contact in my gmail so I can email people and I have no way of putting them back to gmail and don't even know how to back them up.
How to sync only "My Contacts" instead of "All Contacts" and it pulled up some threads for the HTC Hero. This one had a solution...
"Now I think I've got it!
"People" - I see you mean the picture of the people.
"Groups" - Yes, I see it says "Groups" at the top of the screen.
"Menu" - Yes, now when in this screen, I click on the "Menu" button.
"Sync Groups" - Yes, now I click on the "Sync Groups" button.
All list appears as follows:
1) Sync All contacts
2) My Contacts
3) Group Name #1
4) Group Name #2
5) Group Name #3
etc.
Because "Sync All contacts" was checked, all below were checked.
I de-selected "Sync All contacts"
I selected "My Contacts" as the only one to be checked.
Since "My contacts" has all the contacts I want to be sync'd, I left this one as the only one to be checked.
I think the problem is now resolved.
Mission Accomplished."
Problem is, when I follow these steps and press menu while in groups, there is no "Sync Contacts" option. Only "Add Group" and "Delete Groups".
I can't for the life of me figure out how to un-sync the Facebook contacts. I would hate to think I have to go in an delete all 300+ of the unnecessary contacts associated with Facebook.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI should soon be moving from my Blackberry to an Evo, so I'm wondering how this works. Currently I just sync my BB with my Outlook contacts list. Is there anything like this for Android? Perhaps an online Google address book or something?I know there may be an option to sync with Gmail contacts, but seriously, I don't want 100s of names on my phone just because I happened to email someone a year ago.So how does the default "Address Book" work for Android? How does it sync and/or back-up the contact list?
View 12 Replies View RelatedWhen I sync my contacts to facebook, I then have the option to choose which name I want them displayed as. Either my GMAIL saved contact, or their Facebook name.
When i choose the FB name, after a few minutes or later that day, it eventually reverts back to the Gmail name. Some names end up permanently staying as the FB name, and some I have to consistently save as the FB name over the period of a few hours for it to stay put. This gets very frustrating, anyone experience similar issues?
Also, side note. On the keyboard, anyway to get back the standard Android Keyboard without losing Sense? I miss the Android OS smilies....
I want to backup my personal contacts but I am unclear as to how to do this. I though I read someone mentioned HTC Sync, but when I go to the HTC site, I can only find a upgrade and not the actual program. Is HTC Sync the program I want and if so, where do I download from? (Windows format). Will this also sync music?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAt Google's help forum here, it states the following: All Contacts vs My Contacts on iPhone - Google Mobile Help 3) Google only syncs My Contacts because those are the contacts you've manually added to your contact list. If you look at your All Contacts, you'll see that some of those email addresses haven't been added to My Contacts.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not that impressed with the HTC Sync (it's slow and there's no bluetooth). I've read a little bit about sync'ing with Google, but I'm not clear on a couple of things:
1) Will it require an app for the Hero to sync them 'live'.
2) What is 'cloud' - the stuff I've read keeps mentioning it.
3) I've found Google Calendar Sync, but how would I sync my contacts? The only thing I've found that will sync all of outlook is a Google Sync Premiere programme that is costly and aimed at businesses.
Just got my wife the HTC Desire and whenever we add any contact via phone after sync with Google it simply disappears - it's not in the web either. However, when we add it via google account it stays on both - web and the phone.Anyone's got any idea how to fix that?
