Can we please have the same for dMail and Sync? Screwed up my phone, not just address book. Sometimes the same is happening upon termination of a received call. Wiped out the SIM card address book hoping to get rid of this clash, didn't help at all - guess the call log already contains inconsistent data, some entries are blank. This happened on Curve , in case it matters. I'm pretty aggravated right now - the phone is barely usable. Why this? November 20, at AM. Same here: "Device not supported" even though I have the previous version :O What's wrong??
Same problem with the duplicating addresses and removal of phone numbers on the device end. Big disappointment This could be a great app! After reading through the comments, I'm on the fence. I've been dying to replace Outlook with Google and Remember the Milk, and contacts are the only hurdle. I had similar deletion problems with Plaxo, it was a horrible mess. I may take a deep breath and give this a shot, using Outlook at my backup in case it all goes to hell.
GaroldStone said Will Google Sync work on the new Blackberry Storm ? It takes a lot of playing around with to get it working. I don't think it is quite stable yet. Finally did get it to sync without screwing up my contacts, and another bug, the Address Book is no longer searchable by first name on on the Blackberry. We are desperit waiting for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all let's give Google Mobile team some credit, they worked hard on the application. I'm too experiencing the same problems where addresses and phone numbers are added twice. My main problem however is when I add a contact to my BlackBerry, it doesn't add it to my Gmail Contacts. Adam K said Thanks for this! Works great. Would love to be able to just sync a specific group if you're looking for future suggestions, but really, this alone is great!
Everything is syncing perfectly, both ways. Verizon user. November 20, at PM. Sure the google sync tool did a great job. But installation does not work for me and my bb 4. Seems my device is not supported to. Or am I doing something? Also for mine BB with OS version 4. Would be fantastic to be able to use it.
Gihan D. Perera said Thanks google guys Levon P said If two-way calendar syncing was available, mobile living would be approximately 1,,,,,,, times easier Wayne Schulz said Have used this for three days on a BlackBerry Bold. My three word review : It Doesn't Work Well, that's not entirely true.
It works at synching some but not all contacts 5 , 6, 7 or even 8 times. If you don't mind screwing up some of your BlackBerry contacts - have at it. Otherwise -- avoid this. November 21, at AM. Was very happy to read the announcement of this new feature. At first I got the unsupported device problem.
Unfortunately I got the same problem as many others; telephone numbers on my BB got lost. Had been looking forward to this for a long time. Unfortunately to put it mildly , I've got unspeakable numbers of duplicates now, each with their own uniquely assorted omissions, deletions, and flaws. In Google Mobile Team's defense, I know you've been worked hard lately, pushing through the final phase of world domination-by-excellence, but your reputation for flawless betas is making idiots such as myself prance headfirst into a minefield!
This is on an T-Mo running 4. What a disappointment: I had duplicates, missing phone numbers and null pointer errors. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future Maybe we can do some community debugging The more info there is available will make it easier to figure this stuff out.
This was a nice concept in theory but maybe more testing should have been done before this was released. My phone book is totally screwed. I have phone numbers missing all through my phone book. I even took the time to add phone numbers to all my contacts in Google and there are some that still get erased after the sync.
I am done messing with this until someone can tell me or fix why my contacts are being duplicated and my phone numbers are missing in my phone when all my Google contacts have phone numbers now. Good Concept Needs more testing. BB Curve Verizon BIS 2. BB OS4. I have not synced with anything else before. I did find out something nice about the errors I was having.
I was getting the error where the numbers would get deleted from my BB and would get null pointer errors when going to my phone log.
I did a hard restart, and the numbers came back, it was like the address book had to reboot to find them. I was able to sync, hard reset, and turn off syncing. Now my contacts are relativity in sync, at least more than they were before. I still have issues of duplicates, and people listed with many addresses, but for now my phone is working without having to restore my BB contacts from my last backup.
Glad I'm on an unlimited plan. Now I just have to hope I didn't lose too many phone numbers, though I have done a battery pull so perhaps that's not an issue. I keep getting a "Another sync client is So Google Sync will not sync these events" error. I only have had Google Sync as my Sync program.
Does anyone else have this problem? Running a tmo Might it have to due with downloading the App from the Google Mobile App not the m. Any help would make my day. November 21, at PM. Jonathan said I am experiencing the same issues as Matt. Some of my contacts are having their phone numbers stripped, and duplicate addresses added. Correcting and re-syncing causes the problem to recur. For those who receive the "unsupported device" error.
I switched all my languages back to English, I think changing the Google. I have a BBBold. I'm in sync! I'm having the same problem as matt and skisulli: stripped numbers and other info on the BB.
Angelo said Oh man I bought the Storm today and am a Mac user. Almost threw it through the window when I realized pocketmac was a no go. I had the same issue with field duplication work address in Gmail contacts on each new sync cycle. Trying to fix it through a clean install from my addressbook, but really, this app is not ready and cannot be trusted with valuable user data.. November 22, at AM. Gustavo Ramos said Same problem as Peter said.
November 22, at PM. Kudos to google for the app. VERY disapointed that is does not work. I have a bold 4. WILL not download any contacts November 23, at AM. I want to be impressed, honest. I loved Google Sync before. But this upgrade has crippled my contacts twice now, and I'm afraid I have to turn off the contact sync until errors are fixed. Nice try guys. Soon though, soon. Well, my problems outlined above have gone from bad to catastrophic. The first time, I had just hung up after checking my GrandCentral voicemail.
Now, after a few resets, it was every time I hit send or tried to get into the phone or call log which I come to find, after bruising my thumb hitting OK, has been completely erased. This community-driven open-source sleuthing loses effectiveness at a certain point. None of your Business said Well every time it syncs I am getting duplicate entries. It is duplicating in both directions. Danny Boggs said Here is what I tried because I really wanted to get this program to work. Deleted all contacts from google.
Made a backup using BlackBerry DM of the address book so I wouldn't loose anything if this didn't work 3. Checked google and everythnig looked ok. Looked at my blackberry address book. Also, the speed dial setting for those phone numbers were correct. Did another google sync, cal and contacts. If failed, waited and re tried. Take note, not the cal sync, just at the time of contact sync did it fail.
It also ran for while before it pooped out. When it finally did go, it took a reaaaaalllly long time. I like to press my luck BRB even after cleaning up contacts on the google side, it still had issues. I dont know why. I figure if i just sync once in a while when I get a few new contacts it will be good enuogh without getting too annoying. November 23, at PM. I'm having issues with the duplicate entries as well.
It's really disappointing to tell the truth. I had a good intention when I went and manually edited each one of my GMail Google Apps Contacts so they looked consistent and clean before syncing, but then the mobile app came in and messed it all up.
Not cool. That being said, I myself have had the misfortune of developing BlackBerry applications in the past, so I know what a pain it can be. My heart goes to the developers who are surely having a hard time making it work.
Looking forward to an upgraded version Each notation for the Same phone number , , gets its own entry. Carlos said Same problem here with duplicating addresses, some times repeated. Also seems that Gmail Contacts always win over changes done in BB. November 24, at AM. For what its worth it seems to be chocking on adresses where just a home addy is entered and when there is nothing entered in the address 2 field on the berry for that home addy.
Danny Boggs, you are right. And if you sync your Mac Agenda with Google Contacts you can see that fields inside addresses like city or postal code are wrong. Not a big time-saver up front, but I'm hopeful it'll get worked out.
I also had to re-install Goog Sync, as RIMM tech support said the other day that they didn't support it for the Bold yet, "but it was coming". November 24, at PM. Mike Driest said Then for about 10 or so contacts I lost their phone numbers on my BlackBerry but they were in Gmail.
Then I sync'd a 2nd time and there was no incremental sync it took a long time again. I'm sure there's a reason for this, but I wish Google Sync for Contacts would work just as well as Calendar Sync did when I first installed it. The concept is great but my first experience was poor. Tim Felgate said The latest version of Google Sync for the Blackberry has a major bug. It causes my BlackBerry Curve to crash with the error message java. This happens whenever I try to access the call log from the BlackBerry home screen.
Turning off the contacts sync in Google Sync seems to solve the problem. However, I would really value the ability to sync contacts. Please help!! November 25, at AM. It triggered almost every time I tried to open my Call Log. I also saw the java null pointer exception everytime I tried to open my Call Log. I've started a new thread on the Google Mobile Help Discussions for Blackberry devices regarding my particular Sync issues stripping info from the BB contacts and replacing with Gmail contact info.
If you are having similar issues, please respond to that thread to draw Google Mobile's attention to it. I looked around the discussions there and didn't see anyone else with this problem or, at least, a problem described this way , so they may not have been alerted to it yet. CrystalCrazy said Ok, I just installed google sync and read all the comments about the problems I want to uninstall it and I see someone did, but can you tell me how?
November 25, at PM. Cary B. It's been a nightmare ever since I installed the updated sync. Screwed up not only my google contacts but my BB contacts as well. I have contacts with the same address a 5, 10, 15 times over, deletes numbers and gives me tons of duplicates in my BB. I delete a contact in my BB, it comes back, I try to delete the contact in gmail--it comes back. Lastly, and the most annoying is that I've been getting "Uncaught exception: java.
NullPointerException" error message contstantly--even a battery pull doesn't fix it. What gives? Something good just happened. Apparently someone s trying to fix these contact sync problems. My BB contacts just synced to my Gmail which is what I wanted it to do in the first place instead of deleting all my BB contacts from my phone and adding my very limited amount of Gmail contacts to my blackberry which was VERY annoying.
It definitely needs to be a two way sync or at least sync from BB to Gmail. Gmail just doesn't have a fantastic contacts section. ALSO I have been getting a lot of duplicates as well AND even more annoying I put my regular schedule on my google calendar and it hasn't been able to sync. I think it tried once and it was all crazy and NOT my schedule. I'm up for getting through the growing pains but I hope they are over quickly. November 26, at AM. It is awesome until some of your contact data is erased and only e-mails are left.
On all contacts that had e-mail addresses, google sync erased name and phone leaving onl the e-mail. I lost 1 hour having to reload all contacts from my backup files. Fix it please!
November 26, at PM. Disable Contacts syncing from the Options menu if you don't want to update your Google contacts list. Google Sync is configured to synchronize with the default calendar of your Google Account. You can select other calendars to be downloaded as well, but you can't add events to these calendars from the handheld.
To manage your Google Contacts, go to your Gmail account and click the Contacts link. The Google Sync menu includes the following screens:. Status The default screen shows you when the last sync occurred and what was changed. It also allows you to "Sync Now" and provides access to the Options screen. Options This screen has two sections: Sync and Calendar When to Sync allows you to choose between Automatic and Manual synchronization.
If Automatic is selected, Google Sync will check for changes every two hours or so. If you do not like this, then Manual will sync only when you select the Sync Now option from the menu. Your desktop library is presented in the same way as your device content, so you can always find what you want. Just drag and drop collections or individual items to sync to your device.
Your device data can be securely backed-up with BlackBerry Link. Then, if needed, your content can be restored in just a few simple steps. It's also easier than ever to check for and install device software updates — BlackBerry Link will alert you when software updates are available.
