Droid 2 update to 2.3.3... Ruined my contacts

[lynne_romero]

I had updated to the 2.3.3 system or I guess you call it Gingerbread update.... Anyway... Its pretty cool... Nothing seems horrendously wrong from what I see... Except the contacts.... I used to be able to input birthday and anniversary dates for each contact.... Now in the birthday AND anniversary dates are just jumbled numbers... For example, my son's bday is Nov 4, 2001... I see 1004832000000... Uh.... Ok.... I go to edit.... And there is no birthday edit option...... So i check on my boyfriend's info... random numbers in the birthday and anniversary section.... Everyone who Ive inputted bdays and anniversaries, has random numbers.... And with 6zeros at the end.... I dont know whats going on.... But its annoying to see that and its more annoying because of the fact that i cannot edit or even remove it...


HELP!!!!!

Very frustrating, however, you should be able to edit this information on the web at mail.google.com.

I have the same issue! Except when I went to my gmail account on the computer to fix it, nothing came up.

Im also having trouble syncing/linking my contacts from Facebook. It's a real pain in the butt! I have two different contacts for the SAME PERSON! And droid isn't letting me connect the two together. The new gingerbread update didn't help much, just screwed it all to hell!

If anyone can help I'd really really appreciate it.

I also have the same issues. Lots of little things like not able to link my facebook contacts too. I have to agree its since the upgrade that iv had nothing but issues.

I just got the new Gingerbread update and I am also having a problem linking my contacts.  Before the update I went through my phone and linked them all.  Now after the update some of them have reverted back.  Please help!

lilbit73, I have my contacts synced with my facebook so I know how convenient this option is and why its important to have. I have two ways you can accomplish this task. I listed them both below.

Option #1

Menu > Settings > Accounts > FB Account > Menu > sync Now

Option #2

1) Click Menu

2) Click Settings

3) Click Accts & Sync (all your accounts will appear)

4)--You can either click Sync All, which sync all your contacts to your entire list (twitter, myspace, Google, facebook, flickr etc.), or you can choose which one you want to sync & tap the arrows next to it.
