contacts sync - Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, just received my mate 7 32Gbps from.China with gmail and play store installed but it seems they forgot to add the contact sync option and it doesn't appear in the Google account option (I have only app, people contacts and email sync options).
Does anyone know how to retrieve my contacts and add this option on a chinese import mate 7 ???
Thanks for help

Im in the same space as you are maly348. Usually for Huawei i root the phone and rename that XML file in the china directory and that takes care of the contacts sync issue but none of my one click root programs work with the mate 7 yet.
I am willing to paypal $50 to anyone that can help me get this done!

You just need to install GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.APK, that will enable you to sync your google contact. it is available in XDA forum please search for it. No need to root the phone for this function. It works on my Huawei P7 and Mate 7.

Hi suksanto
Thanks for this Input... It works just fine on my Mate 7 now!
Well done!

Thanks, it appears now but for whatever reason, it keep syncing non stop without stopping ... Which version of gapps did you install ?

I have downloaded the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from cyanogenmod.org, they have a section for Google Apps. I have installed it using the built-in File Manager as a non-market app, no need to root device, which is great. However I have two google accounts that I am using for sync (one for private and one for business) and I can only enable sync for one of them. The other one, when I enable auto sync, it appears as if it is enabled but then the auto sync is switched off. Any ideas of what may be wrong? I installed the latest google apps package GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from the cyanogenmod website, it is version 20140606 CM11.

Are the two Gmail accounts both added to the default account management?

Yes they are. I managed to now get both accounts to sync. After several attempts, the syncing switch finally stayed "on" for both.

[Q] sync browser

I am using clean Rom 1.1 and there is no option to sync bookmarks in google accounts.
How can I add internet to accounts so I can sync bookmarks.
When you login to a Google account it should sync everything automatically. If not settings>accounts&sync and make sure auto sync is checked. You can also select what you want to sync by clicking on the account and selecting from the list.

That's what I did but internet isn't in the options. l used a different Rom and it had the internet option In accounts to check. This Rom doesn't.
Is there any way to add internet option to account sync.
Ok I see. When you login to Google Browser with same login from PC your Bookmarks will sync Automatically.

It won't sync bookmarks. Pretty sure that's why Scott didn't include it.
There is a bookmark sync apk I believe somewhere in the theme and apk section. There was a thread a long time ago pertaining to the HTC browser and getting it to sync with your google account.

Thanks hope that works haven't tried that yet.
I tried that in the link and didn't work. I know it can sync, because I have used it in ACR Rom.
It has internet option in google accounts sync and this is after I installed the stock browser zip. Is there any way to add internet option in google accounts sync.
Did you push the sync.apk to the system apps? I'm pretty sure it has to be there for it to show up in the accounts tab. Also make sure to reboot after pushing it. And change permissions to match the other apps. Other than that, i'm not sure what else to do.
No I just installed the apk I will read the thread again and try again. Thanks for everyone's replies and help. I don't post much but I read a lot,
and have learned at lot form everyone hear.
I used the chrome sync file found on this page. Just installed it last night and it works (for me anyway). I installed it just as you would any other app. Download it and press on the downloaded file in a file browser to install it.

Google Sync

Does anyone know how to make Google Sync work? I've installed Google calendar sync and Google Contact but when I go to accounts and choose Google, there is no entry for either.
Follow the steps here exactly as mentioned without skipping anything :
1) Factory reset your phone
2) After reset,
Download contact for android 6 apk
Then download contact sync APK for android 6
DO NOT LAUNCH OR EXECUTE any of them for now ...
Go to phone manager, go to permission manager and in CONTACT, let CONTACT app and CONTACT SYNC ALWAYS allow to change the contacts. It is by default on notify ...
Then, launch contacts app, introduce your login and password from google and it will sync all your contacts. AFTER that, you can download play store, google agenda etc ... You can find all apk i have mentioned on apkmirror
Then all will work perfectly with your chinese mate 8
Dear maly,
Is contacts apk really nessecary? The native contacts won't work? As there will be 2 contact apps in the end.
Is there a calendar sync app nessecary to synconize Google calendar with the one built into EMIU?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
Don't know exactly what I did. I went to Settings > Permissions Manager > Applications and turned on "Trust this application" for Google Calendar Sync and Google Contacts Sync. I am using a different calendar other than Google's. Didn't have to reset the phone.

Hi there,
Thank you for your guide.
I did try exactly as you said, but it doesn't work none the less. After factory reset, and adding Contacts and Contacts Sync, there isn't any Google account (just an Exchange account option) that can be paired to it, as there is no Google Account that can be added, sadly.
Will now try to install Google Play and hope that it will create an account that can be paired to the Contacts app.
***EDIT***
Fixed! Installing Google Play did the trick.
Regards,

Google Contacts and Calendar not syncing

So all other google services seem to be working fine, app store is good.
Contacts and calender refuse to update.
I go into User&Accounts>Google>Sync sync now and it syncs Fi/Fit data/People but not Contacts. returns 'sync is currently experiencing problmes, it will be back shortly"
It did work as it says it synced 2 days ago. when I first got everything side loaded and working.
anyone else having issues or known fix?

Had the same issue. So I started from scratch with the installation of the Google Services until sync was working in-between the steps of installation.
Please tell me which version of installation did u use?
There are several... and which EMUI version did u use for installing the Google Services?

Folowed these directions, worked good, actually on Pro Plus and on 10.1.0.145
go to youtube and this short link since I cant post links yet 9fTIZFehwlw
Actually I saw that on different p40 the symptoms are different.
I have p40 pro and after initial sync when I put the Google account stopped syncying and even yahoo syns does not work
I'd you are above 136 on p40 pro lz application does not work.
I used a different method to put Google services and still does not work.

everything syncs and works but google contacts... that is the strange part.
will probably wait till something breaks it good and then hope there is a better "method"
I can live with manually import/export contacts.
I was just hoping it was something simple but doesnt sound like it
Thanks
Well actually I solved this...
Use app Fix Play Services 2020 and it will install new Play magazine and clear some cache and... It works. Now I can sync both Google and Yahoo accounts.
Remains the problems I have with Google Pay and Edenred Pay... Also I cannot sing in into UniCredit Account. Aplication is working but you cannot add your personal data.

Did it fix the google contact sync for u too? I'm also curious where you download the apk as it's not found in Aurora store. And the one I found from apkpure only do basic things like clear play services cache and stuff like that , that I already tried and not working.

Exactly this one... Fix Play Services 2020
It will drive you to Google play store and install an official one
The problem now is push notifications, does not work.

I don't know how but it seems that this also solved the notifications issue for Gmail. I observed this morning that I receive Gmail notifications as soon as I receive an email in my Gmail account.

Syncing google contacts with P40 pro (without GMS installed)

Hi all
I tried to install GMS a few times but didnt work and couldnt be bothered with ongoing issues - part of the reason to get the P40 pro was to get further away from google. One thing that is a pain though is updating and syncing contacts. I had all my contacts on google and would like that, if I update a contact on my phone or on "contacts. google.com" that they are in sync. Without GMS, is there a way of doing this? I have outlook installed on my phone but that doesnt seem to be doing the job - what am I missing? Thanks
Don't suppose anyone knows the answer to this ?

Export them and use Huawei backup to keep them backed up.
Use an old Huawei phone (with GMS) to import your contacts on Huawei ID.
Then, in the new phone, choose Huawei ID as default place for your contacts (show/save).

Sorry for ignorance. Is huawei backup windows based?
FYI the way I ended up doing it was to export VCF contacts by going to contacts.google.com in browser in the phone. Then imported using the Huawei contacts app. It seems to work but merges imports. So if you have deleted an email address in a contact in google contacts, then use my method, it won't reflect that after import (i.e. you still have the email address on your phone which you deleted on google contacts)
