    Any idea on how to fix google contact sync for a android device?

    The sync is starting but never completes, no error is shown and nothing happens. Only the Contact app is having those issues. Every other google app is syncing normally.

    I do use an old OnePlus Nord and just noticed that issue as it read "last sync 45 weeks ago"

    Already tried the default troubleshooting steps, like re adding the account, cache clear ...

    Alles kan anders behalve de #telefoondailer om te bellen dat gaat niet. Want die haalt de gegevens toch weer online vanuit #GoogleContacts.

  27. Tampermonkey script to un-Gmail Google Contacts

    When you click on a contact’s email address in the Google Contacts web app, instead of opening a new draft in your default email app with the “To” field populated with that email address, which is what it should do, Google Contacts opens a Gmail compose window.

    I hate this behavior. While I do have a Gmail account, it is not my default email account, and I hardly ever use it. I want email addresses in Google Contacts to do what they do on every other web page: open a new draft in my default email app.

    So I wrote a Tampermonkey script to implement that behavior. You can find it here. And the code is also below, in case you prefer to just copy and paste it from here.
