    Google contacts not sync

    Thanks to JanGertru. This solution really worked flawlessly. Got back all my contacts in my Lumia 920.

    To summarzine:

    • In Google account settings,
      • I enabled 2-step verification
      • Generated an app specific password (some random number you don't have to remember)
    • In Windows Phone
      • Deleted my Google mail account
      • Created the Google account and used the "app specific pwd" generated above (instead of my regular Google password.
      • Initially only few contacts were visible.
      • but i left the fone for a few minutes and checked back and voila ..all contacts restored !
    I was skeptical about the Gcontacts tool, as din't want to take a risk of all contacts via a 3rd party tool. The whole reason Google implemented this 2-step verification is to avoid such intermediate entities.

    Google should have better communicated this to their users .. rather and wait for them to blackout and we all figure this out ourselves.

    Thanks again, JanGertru !

    Thanks for breaking down the steps!

    Deleting contacts from Windows 10


    When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

    I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.


    • Open Windows Live Mail.
    • Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
    • Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
    • Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
    • Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

    After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

    For Mail app:

    Open People app then delete the contact.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
