    Default Google Contacts doesn't sync fully with the G1


    There's a bug with the sync between the G1's contact list and Google Contacts. The sync has forced me to reset my G1 to factory settings once before, but now, it's something completely different. I manage most of my contact info through the G1. However, I just noticed that some of the changes made are not synced with Contacts. Phone numbers, check. Email addresses, check. Address, nope. Name, nope.

    I hope it will be fixed soon.

    My addresses sync up just fine.. I've been using the map from current location to contact address feature since day 1... Sorry for your misfortune, hopefully someone else has shared your experience.

    Good luck amigo

    Actually to clarify, if I put the address in via Contacts, it will sync to my G1. But when I put an address in the G1, the address won't show up in Contacts. Same deal with names.

    Strange
    I just received a call from one of my clients about 30 minutes ago. Didn't have his info in my contact database, so I long pressed on his phone number, selected "Add to New Contact", and then entered his name, address, company etc.

    30 minutes later, while at my computer, I went to www.igoogle.com and there it was.

    Haven't had any issues. Not sure why you're isn't working.

    Are you actively using the sync data function? Settings > Data sync > gmail and Contacts hardpress and sync

    you probably have auto sync off, if not.. then uhhh... umm.. are there any other variables you could possibly provide?

    I haven't seen this yet *knock on wood* Please make sure that you sync all your contacts with your google account.

    On contacts > Menu > Settings > Sync Groups, and make sure "Sync all contact" is check marked. Also from the home screen choose Menu > Settings > Data synchronization then have the "Auto-sync" option checked. Now you should have all your contacts synced with your google account.

    I just checked everything. I do have auto-sync on. Here's the weird thing... after I posted on here, everything synced. It's as if Google saw this posting and fixed my account

    I was having a similar problem on the 24th when I was at the airport and updating my contacts via my phone.

    It was weird, it was not updating my contacts (said there was a sync problem) for JUST certain people (specifically, existing male friends...female friends, new contacts from either gender, and family from both genders were updating normally).

    My only solution to fix this was to update the phone numbers again in Gmail. Oddly enough, after fixing the phone numbers in Gmail, it finally synced between both Android and Gmail. Also, it added an email address to my Gmail Contacts that I entered in my phone, but did not have on my Gmail contact list.

    Also, what is up with the check mark when you add new people sometimes? Is there a way to remove it? It appeared after I added a new contact for someone, and it won't go away. I can only see it when I click on that person's contact profile and it takes me to a list of phone numbers and SMS options.

    When I import my contacts to my g1 a lot or my contacts had numbers beside them. Why was this?
