That makes no sense. You are not touching your contacts nor manipulating anything that has to do with the contacts on your google account or phone. All you are doing is stopping any of your information from getting synced from the google cloud onto your phone while getting the phone to allow the...

I FINALLY figured out a workaround! The problem is you can't choose what to sync until AFTER it already synced everything to your phone on any google account you're adding. Obviously by then it defeats the purpose since it's already done. Disabling the "auto-sync" box works in that you could...

B. Diddy, when I go to settings, accounts, add account, there is a list of options of types of accounts. Is the stock email app the one that says "Email" or "corporate"? There is a choice for Google and Personal (IMAP and POP3). If I choose "Email", the choices are AOL, Corporate, Verizon.net...

The only way I can think of to force google to NOT sync my contacts is by backing up the contacts online then deleting them. Then adding the google account to my phone, won't sync contacts because there aren't any, then restore the contacts online after I turn off the contact sync on my phone...

LOL This is so stupid. I went into my gmail app, clicked on my gmail account I already had there and from the dropdown clicked on "add account". I hadn't tried it this way. Well, I figured if I added a GMAIL account only it wouldn't sync the contacts into my phone. It sync'd the contacts again...

Actually it runs smoothly when I try to add a google account. When I try to add an IMAP gmail account it says it has an error connecting to gmail. Would adding an IMAP gmail account prevent it from automatically syncing the contacts from that particular google account? When I tried adding an...

No actually there IS a screen like that the problem is that screen doesn't show up when adding any google accounts like before. I add an account, it syncs things I don't want, then when I go to that page to turn off the syncs they have already been sync'd and I can't remove the information! See...

Thanks for the reply, B Diddy. I use the Droid Turbo 2 as of yesterday but was using the Droid Turbo and Droid Maxx before that. 6 months into my Turbo 1 ownership android lost this ability. It was perfect before then. I would add a good account and before it would even try to sync anything it...

So ever since several months ago I noticed that whenever I added a google account (from the gmail app) it adds a google account that automatically syncs EVERYTHING without giving me the option to first decide what gets sync'd like before. I can't believe a huge company wih billions could be that...
