[Q] Where are my contacts? It doesn't sync? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi, after intalling rhe rom, I lost all my contacts, I know they are in my Samsung account, I made a back up. But when I go to cloud and then sync settings, it only shows my samsung account and I can't click on sync now... So I wasn't able to restore my contacts. Any idea how to do it?

Didn't you sync them with Google? I just log into Google and all of my contacts are there.

ardcifliku I've already tried that

Happened to me before a couple times. Go into your gmail on the computer. In the top left corner under google there is a Gmail drop down box. Click on the box and go to contacts. Above where your contacts are is a box that says more. Click on that and restore contacts. Should solve your problem.

Did you buy the phone at a store? If so, did they back up your contacts to your sd card? Should be a .vcf file I think...if so, go into your contacts app and select import/export and import from sd card only....SIM card to if you happened to have any saved there...but you are on the right track now by storing then all on Google, it is the only way to go and you will never have to worry again

App similar to OurGrocery that can also sync with a PC

I am looking for a app that can do a few things. I want to make a to-do list, and / or a grocery list. It needs to be able to install and sync between more than one android and a pc.
I want to be able to goto the grocery with my lady and both have the app open. When we find a item either of us checks it off, it syncs with the app on the other phone and is marked completed. Also I want to be able to make the list from my pc at home. Basically ourgroceries does all this except for the home pc part.
Anyone know a app that will fit the bill?

Evernote and Google docs will serve both the syncing and multi platform issue.
'out of milk' does this
Been using evernote for years. It does not function in as a todo list. IE you cannot make a list, and then check things off as you find them. Gtasks is subpar.
Thanks for the answer though.

Perfect! I looked around before posting this, and played with evernote a bunch. Could not make it work. This is even better than another app, as I already use evernote!

Hey no problem, it took me forever to figure out why the mobile app couldn't do the boxes but the pc could. One part evernote fails horribly is creating sub-bullets/indents on the mobile app. Drives me insane.

I use OurGroceries via the web and sync it to two Android phones. You create an account on the website. Then on the phone in the settings you send a request to the email address to the address attached to the web account.
I've been using honeydew since my blackberry days. Very simple interface, sync works fine between 2 phones. Not sure if it has a pc option
I use our groceries from the pc and the phone. they have a website at ourgroceries.com where you can log in with the same credentials as you did on the phone and it's flawless. It can be edited and sync in real time.

Try email widget instead of Samsung email for the email badge.
The Gmail badge almost always works, but every once in awhile I have to disable it and then re enable to get it working.

Hi,
Email wdget worked!! Thanks. It is ok with Email App now.
But no progress with gmail.
I have diabled and enabled, no progress. Sent already manš test messages for my self. They appear in the notification area but no badge is created on an app icon.
Btw, why gmail unread count setting is in too places: one in the main screen and another in Tesla screen. Maybe thats is the problem?

Have you tried to select the gmail app in the nova's settings? Because in that place it's not only a toggle, is a picker to choose the right app in order to put the number above the right icon...

I didnt know I can configure individual accounts. Toggle of one account was off. Both accounts were configured same date. And nova installed later.
No idea why one account was off by default.
Do you have more than one gmail account? Check the toggles!!

Actually - I got an email from the Dev yesterday about this very setting. I had no idea that the Gmail text was "clickable". That definitely solved it.

Is this with the most updated gmail app (version 4.3)? I haven't noticed this, but I'll send some more e-mail and let you know if anything gets held up.
go into manage apps and clear data for gmail. go back into gmail and let it sync and re-setup your gmail options, but you should be good after that, probably will have to re-do your last email you were trying to send.

This happens to me any time I reinstall a Nandroid backup, or change ROMs. It has happened on on my original Evo, S2 and S3. The only solution I've ever found is clearing data.

Same here - I just did it this morning after a restore. I've dealt with this many times with this phone and my old EVO Shift. I should probably remember to clear it as a matter of course whenever I flash or restore. But I don't.

Yeah, I never restore google apps through Nandroid. I don't know why I thought that, just always figured it'd be best to install those only through the Play store.

Yes, this works for me too. I find it an unsatisfactory answer, though, because you have to redo your settings and re-type the hung email. And you have to repeat the whole process periodically because invariably it will happen again.
Doesn't seem to matter what version of the app you are using (I'm on 4.8 right now). Could it be result of (GASP) poor programming?
Worked for me! thanx

Google contacts won't sync anymore

My Google sync does not sync my contacts anymore. Not since April 9...
As you can see on the image, it just keeps showing the white wheel. Everything else syncs. I have tried ticking the sync off and on. Restart the phone...
Any ideas how to get this syncing again?
Thanks

It just happens sometimes on all android phones...
To get it working again, first disable syncronization, then go to settings -> applications -> "all" tab and look for the contacts app. Then click on erase data.
After that, enable sync again and it should work.

I have the same problem. I notice that I have contacts on my phone that don't show up on my web-based Gmail account. I'm tempted to do this but before I do, I hope you don't mind answering these questions:
1. Which of the following do I clear the data of: Contacts or Contacts Storage?
2. Does this delete the contacts on my phone?
Thank you
1.you can both, but contact storage is main.
2.You will lose all contacts by erasing data
First make backup of existing contacts this way
- Contacts - menu - Import / export - Export to SD (OR USB whatever you like)
- Clear data of contact and contact storage from setting - app manager - All - Contact & Contact manager
- Erase all contacts from web (otherwise you may get duplicates) to be more secure you can export your web contacts too to a file before erasing.
- Restore contact
Contacts - menu - import/export - import from SD (or USB watever you have selected earlier)- Now it will ask to storage type - Here you can select google a/c then your all contact will get sync)
- Check all contacts are there then start Sync and check from web if it sync correctly and completely

I encountered another roadblock. I followed the instructions and restored my contacts on the phone, however, my contacts won't show up on Gmail. Did I miss anything?
Have you restore in Gmail account?
You should have small g beside each contact
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I erased everything on Gmail. Then restored the contacts on my phone by importing from SD. When I synced, nothing came out on Gmail. I felt that I didn't have a choice but to click "restore contacts" on Gmail. The new contacts that I saved on the phone still won't show up on Gmail. So I just saved them again on Gmail. Apparently, a lot of other users are experiencing what I'm experiencing, some even going as far as restoring factory settings (I didn't do that yet) but to still no avail. I wish Google / Android finds a solution to this
Do you able to see 'g' besides your each contact on device?

contact sync enabled = yes

sorry for bad eng
After a thousand tries, the problem is still exist. No matter how many times you delete your contact cache/data, reset factory or on your new phone, the sync problem will be back again. Maybe it's bcoz of multi device sync? Mystery unsolved google contact sync issues.
Sigh...
sync google accounts
It's been a while since I've been through this, but unfortunately I have a similar problem. My problem is "Google account" in accounts and sync. But I can only select google photos when I click on the sync mark. No selection box for contacts. How can I fix that?
The device has clone s3 and ics 4.0.4 on it. The gapps packages available for this release also do not work. It does not synchronize people in any case. I cleaned the data from the applications, I deleted Accounts.db and reinstalled it.
Finally, I found the following lines for Accounts.xml and added it, but still there is no positive situation. What else can I do? Thank you.
Syncable = "true"> <authority id = "3" account = ".." type = "com.google" authority = "com.android.contacts"

It MIGHT need some lib files just like Maps and YouTube, which I'm working on getting to work now, won't be a flashable though, you'll have to manually install them.
