Hello, this seems to be the same issue, that I have on my Motorola phone (Motorola shows my Sync-Adapter as "null" instead of "Unknown"). I investigated this a little bit and found the following log lines:
01-25 11:18:58.796 1742 6985 D ContSrcUpdtService: adding source picture_source=0 pretty_name=Google [email protected] gams_account_type=com.google allow_out_of_context=1 active_sync_source=1 capability=5 [email protected] 01-25 11:18:58.803 1742 6985 D ContSrcUpdtService: adding source picture_source=0 allow_out_of_context=0 active_sync_source=0 gams_account_type=org.dmfs.carddav.account capability=5 gams_account_name=Test Addresses The first line is about the Google Account, the second one about my Sync-Adapter. As one can see the Google-Line has some extra info "pretty_name" and "secondary_text". Also, I don't know why active_sync_source is set to 0 on my account. I enabled it with: ContentResolver.setSyncAutomatically(account, ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, true); ContentResolver.setIsSyncable(account, ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, 1); And syncing works fine so far. Does anyone know where to set the "pretty_name" and "secondary_text" for my sync-source? It seems to me this is not some Motorola or Samsung proprietary stuff.
