Gmail Contacts Not Syncing...

[ret2961#AC]

Sorry if this is covered, I couldn't find it...

So I was seduced by the Power of the Root...I did all I was told, and seemingly got a rooted stock ROM on board...But I noticed that Gmail was not syncing contacts. Mail and calendar were fine, but no contacts.

I searched other places and saw that some people had issues with the contacts syncing to the phone (not me) and others had problems that simply went away (not me). The account perpetually says, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I can't find other instance about an outage on the net...

I exported my contacts to the SD card, but no matter how I try I get the error "No Vcard file found on the SD card" even though it is there and visible in Astro....

Any ideas?

Oh, I recognized I had more ambition than talent, so I dumped the root and flashed back to stock...

Thanks

The phone is skunked somehow or Google is skunked. Even though I've wiped and re-wiped and flashed to stock, no dice. I even set up a new Gmail account and manually imported contacts and still no go. I also tried again to manually import to the phone, it shows the name but will not display them in the list.

And I was so happy with Android until now...

Adrift...

Are the contacts for the phone or your Gmail account. I noticed if the contact has Phone in the upper right hand corner it doesn't sync. You can change it to sync with you Google account.

I am having this same problem. There is a thread in the Hero forum about people with a similar issue. I'm wondering how wide-spread this problem is. This thread is kind of old, I take it the problem is still ongoing?
