No contacts on phone!

[tocguy]

Performed a clean up of all contacts from various sources (phone, Outlook, etc.) and created a single contacts file (csv format) that was then imported back into my erased/emptied Outlook contacts folder. Worked just fine but did have to use the DOS csv format for the import to complete correctly.

Next:
* wiped all contacts from the phone,
* forced Outlook contacts to phone.

Worked great but now when I try to sync changes MPE throws up the following; "No contacts on phone!" and prompts to transfer contacts from program to phone. I fear this would create massive duplication and lose any changes made to the contacts on the phone in the month that has passed since the clean up.

Suggestions?

- Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
- WiFi
- 1.8.6 as of original posting and now 1.8.6 Debug Update
- 8.1 Pro x64
- CyanogenMod 10.2

Same "No contacts on Phone!" popup when attempting Sync.

Sync settings for Contacts are:
Outlook 2007,
Sync contacts from phone account,
Personal folders/Contacts,
Use Outlook add-in,
Sync both,
Show confirmation

While verifying and typing these settings I also hit the Reset Sync History button in the Sync dialog box. Guess what? Next Sync appeared to work as expected with only a few contacts appearing in the confirmation window. Looked good except for the ~300 duplicate contacts that now appear on the phone. Sigh...

CyagenMod has no local contact account. You have to select your Google-Account for sync or you install "MyLocalAccount" from Play Store. This is the main reason for your duplicates.

CM Mod 10.2 on Samsung Galaxy S II phone.
After installing mylocalaccount from the Play store it appears under Settings -> Manage Apps but nowhere else. In the MPE phone client under the Contact-accounts to sync option, mylocalaccount option does not appear in the sync list. Only Phone, Google, and LinkedIn accounts.

What should I be seeing related to mylocalaccount and where should I be seeing it?

Attempts to sync with the PC MPE result in the same "No contacts on phone" message.

Wiped phone's contact storage.
Forced Outlook to Phone - copied good.
Reset Contacts settings to Sync-both.
Re-sync - No contacts on phone again.

I believe you need to run the app to create a local account, not just install the app. Personally I just sync to my 'google account' but turn of sync first.

You have to to create (add) a new account. For this, go into that settings, choose "add account" and select "MyLocalAccount". After this, you should see it if you add a new contact.
