When I go to sync, I get a red circle next to Yahoo on my list and it states down below that sync is currently experiencing problems and it will be back shortly. So far I have manually disabled and re-enabled syncing my Yahoo account to my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the Yahoo mail app, restarted my phone, and cleared the cache.
I only get generic replies back from Yahoo on how to sync my phone. I can't find anything online of anyone else having this issue. Is anyone else having this issue? I called both AT&T and HTC and they both state that it is a Yahoo issue. Forgive me if this has been discussed already, but I can not get my Yahoo contacts to sync to my phone's address book. Regards!Thank you, thank you!! Your advice was spot-on and so incredibly helpful!! I was able to restore/sync all my lost contacts! So appreciative for your post! This works and will continue doing so until Yahoo solves the contacts sync issue (which I doubt regarding the worldwide situation of the group) or until they force you to an update. Lastly I went to the Play Store, looked for the Yahoo mail just installed and unchecked automatic updates. I set up all my Yahoo mail accounts, went to Contacts default app, choose view contacts and all the Yahoo accounts appeared in the list.
I installed it (checking unkown sources), and the first thing I saw after entering address and password was a pop up asking for contacts syncing enabled by default. I uninstalled the two apps, actual Yahoo mail and Ttype and.Ī few minutes ago I searched for a version 4.x, found the 4.9.2 (I don't post the link as I don't fully know this forum policy, but it's easy to find and directy downloadable.
I even tried the top of generic mail clilents, TType, and the same problems arised. There's no way to sync Yahoo contacts with the mobile address book neither in Android 4.4 nor 5.0 nor the newly received 6.0 for my LG G4. I tried every faq, forum, question, and no working response neither from Yahoo nor from users. I believe google has a tool to do this easily from a computer.īut Im sorry to hear your having this issueīad news, Yahoo mail version 5.x might be very efficient, smart and good looking but it sucks on contacts. Is it me, my phone, or the new Yahoo mail app update?Well I dont have an answer to your problem.īut I do know that you could always transfer all your contacts from yahoo to google. Without my phone being able to sync with Yahoo, I can not call, text, or e-mail any of those Yahoo contacts. It shows in my phone's address book that I have 0 Yahoo contacts, yet when I get on the computer, all of my contacts are there. There is a sync error only for the Yahoo contacts. Is it me, my phone, or the new Yahoo mail app update?
