    Contact delete notification question

    If problem persists try the ultimate fallback solution that worked for me... Turn OFF Contacts Sync on your phone. Delete ALL Contacts on your phone. Go to PC Chrome Contacts and delete ALL Contacts. Turn ON Sync on your phone. Phone and Cloud will now Sync NO CONTACTS on both (you might have...

    Contact delete notification question

    I'm guessing that when you synced her contacts into your phone then your account (including her contacts) then synced to the Google Cloud. So in the cloud your a/c now contains her contacts and is now trying to sync in response to the deletes. I've had this problem and it's a nightmare to sort...

    Email app wanted.

    Thanks, now that I understand it it works fine for me. Problem is when I see an option "Never Sync" I assume it means exactly that, in this case it means something else which is not adequately described, or misrepresented as I said in a previous post. I now have all my mail consolidated in a...

    Email app wanted.

    Yes I understood your first post and how it works with respect to syncing. My latter concern is that I wanted to sync the gmail a/c's but turn off the pop3 a/c's downloading. The settings page for pop3 suggested I could do that from there. It does not work, you have to turn off syncing of...

    Email app wanted.

    I set up some pop3 a/c's in Gmail and it does exactly what I want. Thanks. However, there is a bug, or is it simply misrepresentation, in Gmail relating to pop3 a/c's. For each pop3 a/c set up there is a Settings page where you can set the Sync period, including Never Sync. You might conclude...

    Ah, OK. I hadn't realised that Gmail could handle pop3/imap. I'll check it out, thanks.

    Thanks, but it's not Gmail I'm asking about. In my post I said pop3/imap. In other words the email supplied by my ISP.

    Email app wanted.

    The Email app (pop3/imap) supplied with my Moto G running Android 5 has some minor problems, sufficient that I'm looking for a replacement. The problem is that I've tried 3 or 4 of the top-rated apps from Google Play and they all exhibit the same problem. You apparently cannot turn off syncing...

    How do I add another individual to an existing contact?

    I use DW Contacts & Phone as my contact manager. It allows you to duplicate a contact, you can then edit the duplicate. Best contact manager on Play Store, by a mile.

    Get rid of Contact "Invites".

    I have 2 phones each with WhatsApp installed. On phone 1 when I select Contacts I get a list of my Contacts that are also WhatsApp users. That list is followed by a list of all my other Contacts who are not WhatsApp users, each with an "Invite" button alongside it. On phone 2 the list of...

    Google Contacts has merged several contacts.

    Google Contacts at... https://www.google.com/contacts/u/0/?cplus=0#contacts ...correctly displays my contacts, being 207. However, the Google Contacts Preview at... https://contacts.google.com/preview/all ...has merged several contacts into one, showing 205. This version prevails when...

    Google Contacts - Backup from Windows PC.

    The Export facility on the Win PC version of Google Contacts states... "vCard format (for importing into Apple Address Book or another application)". Can anyone confirm that the resulting VCF file can be used to re-import into the same Win PC version and as such acts as a full backup of all...
