contacts sync error "...currently experiencing problems..." with red exclamation

You need to clear your MyFaves data, then *don't* restore contacts using MyBackup. Just let your phone sync with Gmail.

If you restore contacts from MyBackup then you'll get the error every time your phone tries to sync with Gmail.

I also got this error while manually syncing my calendar (I did it this way because it hadn't done the auto sync like it should have...odd). It took several attempts to "manually sync" by clicking menu then sync now. The process took a 5 minutes and finally worked, but error kept coming and going.

Hahaha well, that would be a viable solution if this error hadn't already *deleted all my gmail contacts*

the only place i have them is now on the SD card :/


Looks like I'll be re-entering them into gmail by hand as i mentioned in my first post..

I had the same problem. My backup screwed things up. My phone worked fine. I used mybackup formated the phone. then restored my backup. I resynced after done it deleted my gmail contacts but kept all in my phone. Now i kept getting contact syncing errors none of my contacts would be sent to my gmail. if i made a new phone contact it would not be added online. but if i added a new contact in gmail it would be sent to my phone. the only solution was to delete all my phone contacts, Readd them all online and sync back to the phone now it works fine. my backup screwed something up. i wouldnt use it again.

Had a simular issue, I think I took the battery out for 60 seconds, then restarted and let it do its thing.

talk about inconvenient... this could take hours...

As someone else said on this forum. I get the sync error, but when I check my contacts on gmail, everything was synced. It's strange.

[sinistersai4d]

yeah sometimes I get a partial sync.. Z through H for example.. other times it syncs and I get the error and I have duplicats on both my phone and gmail. I'm totally disgusted at the moment.
