Motorola Defy :: Synchronize The Phone Book With Gmail Account?
May 14, 2011
When we add a contact to the phone why it is not synchronized with the gmail account?How to do this?According to my understanding the synchronization happens in only one way. when we update any phone numbers in the gmail account then we can synchronize the contact information to our phone. suppose if I add a contact to my phone why it is not synchronizing with the gmail account?I have lost a couple of contacts like this.Today One of my friend gave his number, Instead of adding it to the phone book of my mobile I added directly to the gmail account and then I synchornized with the phone then the contact came into my phone?
So I added a new gmail email address to my phone but by accident, when prompted told it to synch my contacts with that account. The first thing it did was import all the contacts to my gmail address book, on gmail.com, effectively erasing most of them from the phone. I took it into the t-mobile store and the guy somehow managed to recover about 1/3 of the contacts. So when I took it home, I deleted that email address and just plugged it into my computer and re-synched the contacts from my address book. However, whenever I look in my address book on the blackberry now, at the top of a contact it says "Sychronize using: emailaddress@gmail.com" (Obviously insert the email address I used). But that email address is no longer on my phone, so how is it synched with that? It also I think it is creating problems with synching up my facebook contacts as their pictures no longer show as icons on my phone. It's a minor problem, and seems to be a software issue, but is there any way to completely un-sych my contacts from this deleted email address?
My Photon 4 G does not sync calendar, contact, Gmail with my company Gmail account. I believe that it just stopped syncing last week and I believe that it was following a Motorola update, but cannot say for sure. Under Data Delivery, both Background Data and Data enabled are checked green. However, this is interesting because Email and corporate sync is grayed out on that screen. When I go to Account, checking the sync options is not possible, but I can do a manual sync. Please note, at one time, these options to sync Contacts, Gmail and Calendar were available. I've pulled the batter. I really do not want to reset to factory default. Suggestions? (Please note this is a company Gmail account, not just regular Gmail.)
I have a Motorola Defy (not blur though as it is the global version) running on Moto approved Android 2.2. I am really struggling. My Gmail app simply wont do push delivery. It takes like 40 - 60 minutes to receive my email. I have tried everything now. I have removed my gmail account and added it again. My background data is enabled and my battery and data saver is switched off. I have tried using the "Email" app but it does the same thing.
It is not my carrier as my internet is working perfectly. [URL]
I am getting rather dishearted as my gmail used to work great on my blackberry (phone before I got my Defy) and now this just seems like such a let down. In general I am loving my Defy..but the email is turning out to be a big dissapointment.
I have a Blackberry Storm, that won't allow me to synchronize my address book.Once I have agreed to 'processing device address book', and the synchronization is about to happen, an error prompt appears "CONNECTOR SPECIFIC ERROR".How can I synchronize my addresses from the blackberry to my windows address book without "connector specific error"? ( should I be buying a new cable?)
hey guys i got a motorola defy for my birthday and befor i could set it up my little brother got a hold of it and messed it up. now when i turn it on it says no sim recognised and that i need to login to my motoblur account to unlock. how do i create an account and how do i unlock my phone?
today i got crazy because of my Moto. I have Motorola Defy CEE edition - without BLUR account.Today i borrowed Defy to my friend who tried to unlock the phone.After few unsuccessful attempts i got following message:"Too many unlock attempts!" and i'm able to unlock it only with signing in with a Blur account. As Blur is not supportedf in my region (slovakia, central europe) i had never created the account. How can i unlock the phone? Is there any possibility?I'm really furious about this situation, how can motorola create such crapy unlocking procedure? Unlock the phone with blur in region where blur is not supported....
i logged into facebook using my auntys phone and she has no idea how to remove the account.She says she is getting the messages i get on facebook on her phone and also her contact list has grew by 500 because of my friends. she wants the contacts removed and the facebook account removed.
I purchased motorola defy plus few days back and since that day i'm not able to create an account with "motoblur",I've an active data pack in my phone still no solution everytime i try to create one my phone says"An error Ocurred please try later",I'm currently in bangalore (India),my operator is vodafone.
I inadvertently activated the AT&T address book when I first got the Atrix 2..not knowing that I even had an AT&T address book account.I called AT&T and they deleted the account and any associated contacts with it on their end,however, they had no clue how to remove the account from the phone and said it was a Motorola issue.I deleted all contacts off my phone and now my contacts are just synced with Google(all AT&T address book contacts are gone) but the option to sync with AT&T address book is still an option in settings.The account shows up with a "locked" symbol next to it.
i actually dont have a Defy with the motoblur..however der was no option to select one without it...i cant sync my facebook accounts to the contacts list.
I would like to synchronize my contacts with Google Gmail, but all of my existing contacts say "Synchronize Using: Desktop", while any new contacts that I create say "Synchronize Using: my-email@gmail.com
How do I get my existing 520 contacts to synchronize using: my-email@gmail.com ?
Everytime I try and add my LinkedIn account in MotoBlur, I get an error message "Error, An error has occured. Please try again." I can login just fine online. Anyone know what may be causing this?
Just want to know if there could be any other way in linking the contacts with my facebook account because there's no motoblur feature for defy here. Do i need to install a third party app to be able to link it?
while in the process of setting up my phone, i created a gmail account, which i need so i can use market, etc. how i can go about removing that gmail account... silly blonde moment, i spelt my name wrong, so want to remove that email account and register a new one, but i can't find anywhere where i can delete it, it just keeps coming up to put my email in.
i have deleted the incorrect gmail account on their website..
Every time I try to log in to any of my gmail accounts (personal or school), after I enter in my email addresses and respective passwords, the page just reroutes me back to the log in screen for my email address.
I just picked up a new V10, added my gmail account, and it created a contact for just about every email I've ever interacted with in the 10 years using gmail. I'm obviously missing something - I just want the 200+ contacts I have defined on contacts.google.com to sync on the phone after linking it to a gmail account. What am I missing? I don't remember this with previous Android phones.
I tried doing a factor reset, setting up as a new device, linked the gmail account, but it still decided to create 2000+ contacts.
I have the Motorola FlipOut - it was a replacement phone from AT&T because my BackFlip bit the dust after a year. Can't say I'm particularly impressed with the FlipOut either...But onto the main issue (I have many with this phone!) -- as of yesterday, my Gmail account is no longer on my phone. My Yahoo, Facebook and Twitter profiles are fine. When I try to add my Gmail account, it says that there are issues adding it. I don't understand!And it also keeps unlinking contacts - so people I connected in my address book to their Facebook keep unlinking.
When setting up my account is tells me "cant establish a reliable connection to the server" i've even set up an account on my computer and tried logging in instead but it still gives me that failure notice!
Strange issue with my BlackBerry contacts. Nearly all of my phone numbers disappeared and I panicked immediately. I came to realize that this happened when I added a new Gmail account to my Blackberry. Not sure if the new Gmail Sync had anything to do with it, but I found that all of my BlackBerry contacts are NOW in Contacts when I log into Gmail on the web. And the contacts that I do have in my phone happen to be all email addresses (mostly no numbers, but some) that were previously all saved in my web Gmail. It's like they just switched places.
Ok guys...another gmail issue.i got my replacement bb storm in the mail...activated everything w success...restored using DM and it restored all my email accounts...said since i switched devices..i had to revalidate them all.ive got every one BUT gmail to validate..it keeps saying wrong name or pass...and i am 100% positive that they are being input correctly...casing is correct as well...i created another gmail account and it worked fine...i need my primary gmail account on this device!I am 1000% sure the email address and password are correct.
New member so forgive my mistakes. I have read the other threads on the above issue and they seem dated. I want to delete the original Gmail acct that the tech set up and use my regular gmail account without doing a factory reset to defaults.When I bought my Motorola Atrix at Costco in April 2011 the tech deleted all my phone contacts, data, and photos when trying to transfer to the Atrix. Then he set up a new required Gmail account for the Atrix and gave us the wrong password and security answer which I can not recover despite numerous tries with Google.I have another Gmail account with a good password and it is also on my Atrix. I can access both Gmail accounts on the Atrix because the unknown password is stored somewhere on teh phone. I cannot access my account settings to determine the correct password for the Gmail account I want to delete.What I'm really trying to do is somehow link my Atrix phone number to my regular Gmail and Motoblur acconts so I can use the Android Market from my PC and other functions. I cannot find anything on my regular Gmail account that allows me to link my Atrix phone with that account. It appears the phone is linked to the original Gmail acct the Costco tech set up and that I cannot acccess any settings on. The only settings (from both Gmail accts) I can access are the general ones that control notifications, rings, and messages.
My solution was to delete the account that I don't have a password for and then I would then a way to add my Atrix to my regular Gmail acct as the new Atrix acct or visa-versa. I will keep it screwed up if the only option is to reset to facotry defaults and lose everything. In a related question is there a way to transfer all my Atrix data to the micro SD card and then take it out and then reset?
The phone was set up by the salesperson, and when I email off of Contacts, it defaults to Gmail. I don't use Gmail, but can find no where to change the default email account. Was this done during the set-up of Gmail? Do I need to delete the account and set it up again.
When I got my phone and set it up at Verizon, they had to enter a gmail account to get the phone to work. I gave them a gmail account, but did not realize that my wife was using this account for her Droid phone, so now I have all of her contacts. How do I switch to another gmail account. When I try to delete this account, it says that I have to reset the phone to factory defaults and I don't want to lose Touchdown which I have already paid for.
