Contacts wont sync to tablet

Will try and explain the situation as best as I can.

The kit
T-Mobile Pulse Mini (Froyo)
HP Laptop (Win 7)
Easy Tab (Froyo)

The Problem
My kids have been using their phones as their primary device for nearly a year. Contacts stored in it have always synced with Gmail and appear fine on the Laptop so the account is syncing ok.

For xmas they both received Easy Tab's, a cheap Froyo tablet. It looks the biz and performs well. However, we cant get the contacts or calendar to sync.
Gmail syncs fine. The tablets have complete access to the internet via Wifi.

We had a market issue when the tabs were first used, but this was resolved by a Force Stop and Clear Data of Google Services Framework, and were advised to do the same to resolve the contacts/Calendar issue, but this hasnt worked.

When going into the contacts settings on the tab Gmail doesnt appear in accounts, only their Twitter accounts, and I cant figure out how to get Gmail to show up in there.
If I go to Accounts & Sync the Gmail account appears there along with the Twitter account, however on going into the Gmail account sync settings the only option in there is Sync Gmail, where as on the phone there are options to sync calendar and contacts.

I really need some help with this to make these tablets complete for the kids as they are great devices, but simple things like sending an email arent as easy as they should be because the contacts list isnt there with the email addresses.

Cheers in advance.

 

Really need some help on this to get it sorted. Exhausted all the options I can think of.

 

I take it no one has any advise as far as this issue is concerned?

 

Opening menu from inside the contacts app this is what I see

The Gmail account has already been configured on the tablet and can be used to receive and view email
Clicking on the import/export menu option simply gives me an option to import from SD card.

If I click on display options I get the following screen

I dont understand why the Gmail option says Device Only (Unsynced), but Im guessing this could be part of the problem.

If I then click on the accounts tab this is what I see

As you can see, only the Twitter account is present at this point. The screengrab says its from Accounts and Sync Settings. However this screen is link to from the Accounts tab in the Contacts app.

If I access Accounts and Sync Settings from within the Settings app I am able to see both the Twitter account and the Gmail account. However, if I click in the Gmail account for the sync options this is what I see

As you can see there are no options to sync contacts or calendar.

I could do this by the look of things but it seems such an awkward workaround for something that should be so simple, and I would have to do it each time the contacts list is updated.

Hoping a solution can be found.

 

Tried that, the only options I get are:
Twitter
Corporate (Exchange)
Facebook

There is no option to add a Gmail account.

 

If I go via the Contacts menu I see that screen but with no Gmail.

If I go via the Settings menu I see that screen WITH Gmail, but when I click on Gmail to set the sync options I get this screen

and as you can see there is only the option to sync Gmail, not calendar or contacts.

 

The screenshot was edited to remove personal data, hence the lack of info before '@gmail.com'.

Tried the remove account idea. That didnt change anything. Tried adding MY gmail account, same problem.

 

Not sure about it being a T-Mobile device. Doesnt have a sim slot and was bought from a seller on Ebay. Its a Hong Kong type device.

Been in touch with the seller who told me to Force Stop and Clear Data of Google Services Framework. This worked for our Market problem but not contacts and Calendar.

But thanks for your help so far.

 

Easy Tab is the name on the back.

If I go into settings/about device the model number is WonderMedia 8650

 

Just found there is a specific section for WonderMedia tablets. Hadnt realised. I was looking for Easy Tab sections.

 

I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I followed the advise in this thread Help with calendar sync. and isntalled only the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk and it instantly started to sync both the calendar and contacts.

Im going to go post in the WM8650 forum aswell.

Woohoo, rather happy. only taken 3 days to find!
