Syncing with Google - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

My phone is not syncing with google calendar correctly. It shows that the sync is successful in accounts and sync but when I chsck online nothing is sync'd

If you have the Chinese variant of the HAM2 the MT2L05, you'll need to download and install.
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
If not, then maybe remove the account and go back to settings and readd it. Then try syncing again.

It's the MT2-L03. I'll redo the account later and report back. Thanks

Same problem after remove/add.

Error message?

Nope. According to the sync status in settings everything is working.

Go to settings manage applications then tap all
Then scroll down and look for Contacts Storage
Then clear data on that, sign out of the account and then sign back in and try manually syncing again.

It will sync from google but not to google from my phone.

For some reason I was thinking contacts were not synching. I see you put calendar isn't syncing. Try going into calendar and tap the 3dots menu, then calendars to display, then tap the 3 dots on the top of the screen and choose calendars to sync then choose the correct google account and which calendars you want to sync and hit ok.
Then when creating a new event check to ensure it is set to a google calendar and not 'Phone' by default (Phone doesn't sync). You might have to go back and change events created on your phone to be a specific calendar.

Yup. They were defaulted to phone. Now I have to re-enter the events because you can't edit them to google. How dumb to have it default to phone.

Should be able to change them in the drop down. Click phone and then select the google calendar. Like in the picture I posted but you would see phone where it says Google.
The good thing is that the calendar app does remember the last calendar selected so it should remember the google calendar after you select it for new events.

You're right that sucks
If you typed a good bit you can save some typing by clicking on the phone only event, clicking the 3 dots, clicking send event, send it to gmail or your email.
Then on your email client download it, and you can go to the browser and the desktop version of calendar and go to settings, calendars, then import calendars and import the .vcs file that was sent to email. You can choose which calendar to add the event too. It seems it can only be done one event at a time and I don't see a way to automate it.

Think u need the calendersyncadapter, not the contactsync. Another way u can try downloading the stock google calender app from playstore and try. It will install the adapter by default. But remember that if u choose to uninstall the Google one, the sync adapter will be uninstall also.

Problem was calendar defaulting to 'phone only' and not synching. When new events are created it can be changed to your Google calendar and sync happens properly then. It just defaulted to phone for some reason and wouldn't synch which is a big problem if you created a ton of events in phone only mode. I checked and it won't let you change it to a google calendar if it is already saved as a phone only calendar event. Fix is sending your event to email and importing the .vcs in the desktop version of google calendar for each event, or recreating each event on the desired google calendar which will sync.

Huawei must have done something with the calendar app besides just skinning it. The google calendar app is in the play store and doesn't show as an update.

Every manufacturer's calender are different. It's not just a skin over the stock Google calender. It's a whole different app altogether.

I'm so use to installing CM on my phones as soon as I get them I didn't realize that. I disabled (by renaming) the stock calendar and am using the google version.

[APP] Google Calendar Merge - use multiple calendars now...

If anyone uses Google Sync to get all their gmail and calendar data through the exchange server, you've probably been pretty happy with the service.
EXCEPT for the fact that you can only display your primary google calendar on your Windows Mobile Phone. I don't think Google is going to do anything about this, so I decided to write my own solution.
This is a program that runs on your Windows desktop/laptop and takes any of the calendars you view in Google Calendar and merges them into one calendar... your primary calendar. AND THEY WILL STAY IN SYNC! Meaning: if you change the date or any info on one calendar, this tool will copy those changes to your phone. If you make any changes on your phone, this tool will make those changes to the original calendar your event was from.
This is still in beta stage... so BACKUP ALL YOUR CALENDAR DATA FIRST!!!!! I have also included a function to copy all your primary calendar data to a secondary calendar. You can then use the primary calendar solely for syncing to and from your device.
Known bugs:
1. If you try to sync a calendar that you do NOT have write access to, you're going to get some funky results... it won't work yet. DON'T sync to calendars you don't have write access to.
2. If you sync a calendar, then you stop syncing it (meaning you uncheck the box) and run sync a few times, I'm pretty sure the next time you start syncing that calendar, the whole calendar will get deleted! I haven't made this thing idiot-proof yet. If you want to unsync a calendar with the option of syncing it again at another time, I have included a tool to remove all "tags" from all calendars. Run it! It basically lets you "start over".
3. There's an issue with calendar events remaining on the main calendar after you stop syncing one of your other calendars. I'll get that fixed.
4. There are various error handling routines I still need to add... such as if you screw up the login, it will crash. No biggie yet...
Besides these there are other bugs, I'm sure. However, I'm fairly certain this works for everyday use... I use it to sync my calendar and my fiancee's calendar. Now I see both sets of events on my windows mobile phone.
FYI, for those with security/privacy concerns, I used the sample Google login code that came with the Google Data API, unaltered.

I should mention that once this program is stable (and useful), I intend to port it to the device to run in the background.
looks great, but please explain:
1. how are all the combined events displayed in the merged calendar?: if i have an event in a "work" calendar - how will be displayed in the main calendar? by category "work"?
2. how can i see on the device (which can only sync that main calendar) from which google calendar an event is? - for example, how can i know an event on the device is from "work" calendar?
3. when i create an event on the device - how can i choose to which calendar/category will it be synched?

Aha, well, that is why this is in beta.
1. First of all, there's no way to do anything by category using Google Sync. It just doesn't work that way. So far, there's nothing to identify which calendar it came from.
2. Again, there's no way to tell yet... but I can easily add some code to change the name of the event to something like "[W] Name of Event" so that you would know it came from work.
3. As of this moment, you can only pick ONE calendar that will echo any new event you create on your device. (This is the list of calendars in the 2nd box.) However, as this program gets more advanced, and we add a naming scheme like in point #2, I could try and have the program interpret which calendar it goes into by the header you put in for the event title ([W]...). Or, I could just have the program ask you which calendar it needs to go in when it finds a new event. This second part may have to wait until I move the program over to the mobile phone (which I don't want to do until this thing is optimized or else it's going to suck batteries dry).
Thanks, software like this is on my "wanted" list for long now. Hope you can make it bug free, and a WM version would be great!
Is there anyway to donate?
I use my Google calendar in every day life, and will not risk testing with it, but will try testing with other calendars.
Since nuevasync has stopped being free; I've started looking for an alternative and found this.
Unfortunately it won't run, 'Google_Calendar1 has encountered a problem and needs to close'
This is a splendid initiative.
I'll see if I can risk my data to test this
Did it work?
This is funny... I got no response for a long time so I figured no one cared. I decided to go for something different in the end. I will be getting a Windows 7 Phone within a couple months and decided that one calendar per account (on phone 7) would work just fine for me.
I even deleted VS2008 because I figured I wouldn't need it anymore.
If anyone wants the source code I have so far, I'd be willing to post it. It's written in Visual C#, but it really doesn't have many comments. You'd need to install the Google Data API for Visual Studio, too.
makku12, I for me I wasn't looking for something to do this as I was happy with what I had (nuevasync), but now they want to charge $15 when all I want is to be able to sync my google calendar with my mobile.
All everyone (there are questions and queries all over the internet from loads of people) wants to do is be able to sync all their google calendars with WM, whilst this wasn't that solution, it at least offered an opportunity to get there with an added stage in between.
Google have provided the opportunity to do just one calendar and despite many requests on their forums to enhance this, they haven't. Neuvasync worked by using the category field to keep the calendars separate; I just wish someone a lot more technically gifted than me could do the same.
I've tried oggsync but that seems to be an hour off the true time and again is only for one calendar in the free version (and $30 per annum for more!), gmobilesync is my best bet at the moment, but it is a beta which hasn't been updated for over a year.

As long as you're using Google Sync (google's exchange server) to get your email and calendar data, you'll never be able to use the categories feature in outlook calendars. You're limited to what you get from them...
BUT, that gives me an idea. I was using Google as the base since their API is very easy to use. But now I'm thinking it might be better to merge all of your Google Calendar data into a primary Windows Live (hotmail) calendar. I'd have to study how to interact with the Windows Live calendar but that way I could use the category option! Now that Hotmail provides an free exchange server to sync with, this might be the way to go. Let me check up on this...
(FYI, this would be damn useful because Windows Phone is limited to ONE calendar per account. It's not quite as limited as WM6.5, but you still can't sync multiple calendars within one account.)

When I was using Neuvasyc, I was using their exchange server so they must have found a way to interface with google's calendar to use the category function to distinguish between the different calendars. Are you saying that you can find a way to get hotmail to do the same so you can just use hotmail as we used to use Nuevasync?
If that doesn't work, a way to do the same on the PC with Outlook's categories would be great.
Shame... I just bumped into this thread some time ago, wish I was sooner. Please all vote it to front page, so it will get more attention and someone will pick up development.

[Q] Duplicated (or more) contacts after flashing rom (GSB V1.6 CM7)!

Hi,
I have flashed GSB V1.6 and I find three or more entries for each contact. Any reason why? Same happened when flashed Tazz's Gingerbread ROM. Can't seem to get rid of this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Luis
Do you have the Facebook or Twitter app installed, set up to sync with contacts? I know I had a few duplicate contacts from FB because the names were different; I was able to go into the FB contact, edit the contact, and there was a link button on the menu - so I could link it with an existing contact.
Otherwise maybe you have dupes in your Google contacts? If you are a gmail user, you can go into gmail (on a PC browser), look at contacts, and I think that they have a duplicate detector.
Go to settings/Accounts & Sync, anything other than your gmail go into and uncheck sync contacts.

I had to do this the other day. Syncing Facebook, Gmail, etc was showing 300+ contacts. I logged into my Gmail account via my laptop and told it to find and sync duplicates. I had to fix a few manually (middle initials etc), but now only have 70 contacts.
Removing duplicates from my gmail account fixed the issue!!!
It was driving me crazy! Thanks so much for the tip!

I stopped manually backing up my contacts, in Google I trust lol, and had no more issues unless somebody opens a new account... then I have to link their new and old.

Duplicates are really frustrating; this can cause other conflicts as well. On the side note using duplicate remover tool Scrubly Duplicate Remover is really effective. This automatically scan and delete those duplicates , merge compatible contacts and resolve other related conflicts.

I was curious enough to want to go ahead and try this. Google's own duplicate & merge feature misses some things, and I have just around 250 contacts so it would be a PITA to manually do things unless I absolutely have to.

I'm not sure what you are referring to about it "missing" some things but I just found that after flashing to the newest CM7 release, all my contacts were duplicated. I used the merge function on the web interface (not the phone) and it worked perfectly.
I'm not really sure why the issue even happened but I'm glad Google had something in place to help fix in short order.

I used Google's manual merge feature recently and I'm satisfied with the results, but I have nearly 300 contacts AFTER merging so it was a lot of manual work.
I was referring to Google's automatic duplicate detection in the same menu. All the contacts I manually merged were missed by it's duplicate detection feature. Probably 50 duplicates (25 or less contacts since some contacts had three or four entries).

[SOLVED] Facebook status in Contacts app.

Hi, was hoping someone could help as this minor issue is really bugging me.
When I first got the phone, in the contacts app, all my contacts with a Facebook account displayed their profile images along with their most recent Facebook status.
Recently, I reset the phone with a full wipe. Since then, only the profile pictures of those with Facebook show up, not their status updates.
Any ideas? Already tried resyncing within the fb app and also under settings /accounts.

Hi, I have full Facebook profile photos and Recent Status updates on all my contacts.. I've not changed any setting in Samsung but I use an app called "HaxSync" works great on all ICS phones.
hope this helps.
Facebook status and pics didn't work for me using the official FB app. Only Friendcaster seems to fix that, and it seems better anyway.
SORTED
OK, iv figured it out. Hope this works for you guys too.
For those not getting the FB pics to sync in Facebook (this happened to me after doing a factory reset), I found that uninstalling the facebook app, then reinstalling the app and syncing again within the app updated all my contacts in the contacts app with their corresponding facebook profile pics (no third party app required except Facebook)
OK, the best bit - to get the facebook statuses of all the contacts within the contact app to show up, (its pretty cool as it shows up under the contact name in the scroll list, and when you click the contact, its next to their pictures which you can click to read in full - also shows up on screen when the contact calls/if you call the contact), all you need to do is add the Facebook widget on one of the homescreens - let the widget refresh, VOILA! Thats it .. you can at this point remove the widget.
Let me know if it worked for you too

Strange you definitely added the Facebook widget and refreshed the widget? Could it be that your contacts don't have recent updates? I know only some of my contacts have statuses showing as only a few have had recent updates.
Maybe try removing fb app, reinstalling, syncing, adding widget and refreshing widget again?
Hey, installing the FB widget worked! I didn't have to delete and re-install FB. Thanks for this tip!

Thanks for the post.. I seem to have a separate issue where I tell FB to only sync with contacts on my phone, but yet it syncs every friend on FB to my phone..
I only have a handful of contacts on the phone to begin with, but FB doesn't seem to care which option I select -- it just syncs everyone. :\

Unable to configure 2 exchange accounts in stock Android's email client

Community:
I have a Galaxy Nexus with Stock 4.0.4 ROM and a Transformer Prime also with the stock ASUS firmware (4.0.3), The company where I work has a mail server that supports exchange (Kerio Connect)
At that server I have (because I need it that way) 2 different accounts, I need one of those accounts to synchronize everything; contacts, mail, calendar, and the other one to synchronize only calendar appointments.
If I configure the first account everything works just fine. But, when I configure the second account, I start receiving login errors for both accounts every certain time, the apps shows me the option to update my account credentials and when I do it works for the moment but after a while it fails again. If I delete whichever of the two accounts the other works fine.
I have not tested this scenario against other email servers, so I’m not sure if this a problem with my server or if this is an Android problem.
Both accounts are configured as Exchange accounts from Settings menu.
Any ideas?
The same thing happens on Gnex and Prime?

I would confidently say that the problem doesn't reside with Android. Here is a screenshot of two fully working exchange accounts using the built in ICS email.apk program. Hope that helps you.

Good, but try to configure manually through no exchange, try configure email, or you can have the doors of the mail server bad configure
Thanks I will try that and let you know the results.
Synching with 2 exchange servers with conflicting policies
I have the following problem:
I have an SGS2 with the latest ICS release. I work with two companies supporting sync with the exchange server (2010) on a smartphone.
I can set up both exchange servers at the same time. The first day the both work, but on the second day one of the two (so far always the same) start giving me connection errors, and will no longer sync emails.
I am almost sure that the problem is that for security reasons, both want to have their security policy (admin privileges etc) enforced over my phone, and when they re-check daily they find that the policy is not as they want it.
Can anyone suggest a way to overcome this?
Thanks,
Geza

Sounds like a problem really similar to mine, but I'm not using MS Exchange server.
I did the suggested test, configured both accounts as "email accounts" and not as "Exchange accounts" Same result both works but after a while I start receiving "Could not sing on" errors, Enter the account settings and works again for a while, delete one of the accounts and everything works again with the remaining account. Will see if there is a way to look at the server logs, common sense says to me that if this were an Android bug there would be a lot of users reporting it.
Best regards
OK guys I looked at the server logs and I'm getting this error:
"keep-alive connection is misused with multiple user authentication" for both accounts
I'm not sure what this means and I could not find anything related in the Kerio Mail server documentation.
Any ideas?
Did you Google that error?

[Q] (no name) contacts in phonebook

Hi everyone!
I have a small but annoying problem with my android phone.
In my contacts i have ~70 contacts named "(no name)" as you can see here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I tap on it, it shows me that it's somehow connected to Whatsapp:
Why are those entries not linked to the regular contact?
I have this problem with every ROM i use....
I can't delete those entries but the phone tells me that they will be hidden instead. Is there an easy way to fix that instead of trying to delete every single contact?
Thank you in advance.
-Ben
Anyone? Can't imagine I'm the only one with that problem?

Nope, your not. I just rebooted my G3 and now I have these as well... Mine seem to be linked to outlook though (I don't have what'sapp). Im still using unrooted stock. Im not downloading something else to hide/delete these, that's going on? Why'd this happen and how do I prevent it from recurring? Thanks
This is most likely due to the same issue as Facebook contacts. As whatsapp is owned by Facebook and Google removed all code to sync Facebook contacts natively.
Simple solution
I had the same problem, although I haven't established which one was the offending app, I disabled contact sync for:
Microsoft Exchange
Whassap
Skype
Viber
Linkedin
Sync only with google and it works fine.
Someone ought to figure out which apps are the offending ones and let us know.

My guess would be it's ms exchange as that would over ride the default.
Can't say anything about whatsapp, everyone I know stopped using it years ago.
Also don't use Viper nor does anyone I know.
Linked in works fine for me.
Unknown Name MSactivesync. Outlook and Note 5 400 unk names
Always had good luck synch contacts to Putlook even after they changed this to all exchange vs that hotmail patch thing on the desktop.** My Note 4 crashed so got a temp LG prepaid, which sinked fine, then got a Note 5...yuk...but anyway.* I got 100 contacts 400 of which dont exist on the desktop outlook but show as unknown name.* They say they are from Microsoft Active Account Synch.
The only account I have or want for contacts* is Outlook via the exchange.* Email works great.* I dont like gmail or its contacts especially on desktop.* Im outlook guy.* I dont have skype whatsapp etc.* So google is only sych chrome and gmail as i need* a gmail and google for android.* I like chrome btw.* All the unknows coming from active synch outlook.*
If i add a contact in outlook it comes accross fine.* But where are tye others from? How do I stop it . Samsung support on ph has no idea...in best buy i usually know more than them and verizon is getting less tech knowledgeable by the month.*
Some hints...the unknown names do not show up on the LG phone, which that ph is a prepaid # i bought to use the ph temp on my vz contract number until I got the Note 5 warranty replacement.* The Lg is synched same way and it picks up contacts i added but no unknown names.* So why would the issue be specific to note 5? I checked all the settings and I can't find anything that is importing strange contacts to the Note 5. And the thing is it's saying it's from Microsoft so somewhere if getting unknown name from Microsoft for creating them for some reason.
Another hint. And these may not be related. When I delete these unknown names from my phone I notice some of them anyway show up in my deleted folder in my mailbox on the desktop in Outlook. They don't say unknown names they just have a timestamp for about the time I delete the unknown name for my note 5. They also look like mail folders instead of contacts. But I have never had this until I started deleting these unknown names. You probably know but in outlook the contacts are there and when you delete them they go into the deleted items folder for the email account the contacts are in.
I deleted suggested contacts and case that's confusing something in Outlook.
One more thing is it on my LG they're all of the sudden have been some random contacts show up for people whose names I don't know. It doesn't look like it is hacked. Some of them might be people and email before and there was an online dating site that I use that I have emailed from Outlook and then at one point I imported contacts to Gmail and then deleted them but some of these email showed up in the LG contact list under the Google account which is my gmail.* That is to say that when I look at the contact to see what it's linked to it says it's from Google not Microsoft or anything else. When I go to the desktop for Gmail there are no contacts like this in there. In fact there are no contacts. I deleted the groups that cat contacts but work in my contact list. So if you go into contacts on the desktop for Gmail you can select groups as opposed to all contacts and there what's my imports in there. But these contacts have shown up since I deleted all of that and I have no idea where they came from
So I have been using contacts syncing with my email for ever since I can remember having a smartphone back when I think there was an S3 or something period suddenly now all of this craziness and I have activated 4 different Note 4's because they were all junk on the touch screen or would freeze up and then before that I had a Note 3 and I have a Galaxy S5 and so on and have never had any problems like this and in fact I got so fast switching information over the phone I could do all of my apps all of my settings including pesky ones like opening an app for Facebook and Google search removing those I could do that in about 30 minutes or less. So I have no idea what's going on. Sorry this is so long but I have searched and searched and no one describes this problem exactly like me they all talk about it being associated with another app besides Microsoft Exchange Server and all the people use Gmail and wanted that to work instead of Outlook. So hopefully someone can help.

So I found the source of the contacts in my LG phone that have never been there before until this phone. For whatever reason perhaps the new Android I don't know but not only did it import groups that I had to delete from the web version of Gmail in contacts but there is something called "other contacts."
If you go into Gmail I don't know where to find the contacts so I have to search Google contacts from Google and then it loads my contacts. I checked all the contact lists which were empty except for when I clicked other contacts it said that that version of the page did not support other contacts. This page on the phone looks different than the one on the desktop .
I clicked on the link on the page that said "go to old version of other contacts." And there I found all the contacts that Were Somehow showing up on to my contact list on my LG.
The weird thing about it is that I have syncing to contacts for. Google unchecked under accounts. So in addition to the problem of of with the unknown name for Microsoft Outlook Exchange ActiveSync or whatever it's called now, now why would "other contacts" from Google show up when contacts is unchecked under accounts for Google on the ph? Good news is I know the source of the contacts but it still doesn't explain why they are syncing when the box is unchecked. And it doesn't explain why all of the sudden now after having Gmail long after I ever emailed any of those people that would have been in "other contacts" is it all the sudden just now showing up? I mean they must have been there a long time and I've been using Gmail with it unchecked for a long time and suddenly this week on a new phone it shows up when all the other new phones it never did that.
Thanks so much for the fix "Delete empty contacts". I've had the same problem with the no name contacts and I would delete each one as I saw them but it was driving me nuts.
Thanks again!
I have deleted all of thm using the all, but they keep coming back after every reboot, another thing, this was not a problem till I flashed the Google dialer on my xperia. Has been happening every since.
