After the update on 1.0.7.16 for some reason my google contacts stopped sync. Switch sync on/off under the account didn't help. I removed my google account and after the reboot added it again. Now sync works, but i have another set of google contacts (from "first" account) linked to new ones. Other words, all contacts are doubled (and marked as "google").
Any ideas how to clean that and start sync from scratch?

What you can do is the following, if you only have a Google account + some local contacts on the phone :
@Tofe, thank you, but that doesn't work after updating on 1.0.7.16 from previous versions. After the 2) removing Google account, google contacts are not disappeared on the phone, they are still here, marked as "google" and are not removed on step 3).
Finally i removed them one by one manually. After that procedure you described works fine. With some minor things - in newly created Google account contacts part of the menu could disappear. Sync could work or not. If remove/create from scratch account it usually helps. i did this procedure many times for these couple of days, what is stable now - contacts are here and nothing to remove manually.

moosiqpipl ( 2014-06-14 14:09:24 +0200 )editNot exactly. First, i use "to device only" sync mode, have no idea about two-way sync behavior, just don't use it. Second, in above question the way described is "it was necessary to delete all existing Google contacts". Here is exactly my question - how to delete existing Google contacts?
SergeiStPete ( 2014-06-14 14:16:59 +0200 )editI found only a bit circuitous method :
Maybe there's an easier procedure, but at least that's the way it worked for me.
moosiqpipl ( 2014-06-14 14:42:35 +0200 )edit@moosiqpipl i hope someone knows an easier way to delete all google contacs, because i have more than 900 !!!
