    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!
