I see the force quite dialog any time substantial changes are pushed up to gmail from the device. I have reproduced this issue with the Motorola Droid and Nexus One both running Android 2.1-update1. I first saw it adding a photo, note, phone numbers, email addresses, street addresses, and organization information to around 50 contacts. I was able to reproduce the issue consistently only adding a photo to each of 100 contacts. I get this error shortly after the gmail sync kicks in. Note that I see this issue whether I make the updates manually or programmatically.
I filed a defect at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8254 but it's kind of holding me up and I don't know if it will be fixed. Does anybody know of a workaround for this issue? Just disabling the gmail sync isn't really a solution for me because I'm working on an app that helps batch some contact changes and I can't suggest that all users disable their gmail contact synchronization. I considered limiting the number of updates at a time by spreading them out so the gmail sync adapter has a chance to run between updates but there are obvious problems with that. The user may not have network access for a while, in which case either the updates made wouldn't be completed for a long time or they will all have completed by the time the network is restored and the gmail sync adapter kicks in. Also, it would be odd behavior to the user to make a bunch of changes and then look at the contact list and many of them don't show up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
