Contact Sync issue with Moto E2 (3G) after Android 5.1 Update


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am using Motorola Moto E2 (3G) India Retail Model phone and facing some problem with Contact Sync with my google a/c.

 

The problem started after the Motorola OTA update from my existing android 5.0 to 5.1.

 

The update went fine though many apps were not working hence I did a factory restore and added my Goolge A/C and started installing the apps..

 

Immediately I noticed a big issue as I have way less contact than before in my phone. I checked in my PC by logging into Gmail and yes, I could see that I have lost 2/3 contact and as time going by, contacts are vanishing slowly.

 

I am pretty sure that before I run the OTA, I double checked that everything was synced with Google and yes Contacts too.. Fortunately, as double backup, I used a 3rd Party App, PhoneCopy to backup my contacts in PhoneCopy server accounts also..

 

As backup option, since I had PhoneCopy, I restored from there and yes, I could see all my contacts then. But problem still continues, since as soon as I turn on the Google sync option in my phone for Contact category, once again, contacts starts to disappear !!

 

Second thing I tried is that via web browser in PC, I deleted all contacts from Goolge A/C. Then imported all my contacts from 3rd party back (PhoneCopy) server to my phone and turned on the Google Contact sync. Strangely, I find only a handful gets sync (though sync doesn't slow any error) and over time (after few hours) I see once again contacts starts to disappear.

 

What is wrong here??

 

I am unable to use Google sync now for my contact as it starts to delete everything

 

Any help ??

 

Thanks.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.

    • Dang that sucks. I just started using this feature instead of Pushbullet.
    • I use my devices until the very end. I used my old desktop computer for 16 years, my OnePlus 5T phone for 8 years and my LG Gram laptop for 7 years. Even though they are still working, there are no more security updates for most of them (Windows 7 ESU, Android 12 ROM and the LG Gram because I wanted an ARM based laptop).
