Description Tiago Cogumbreiro 2012-02-22 23:56:30 UTC 
There is no indication of loading the contacts.

When I started the application the list of contacts was blank, so I thought it didn't pickup my GMail contacts and closed it. I only understood it was loading when, by chance, I let the application run unattended.

I have similar (same) issue.  I sync with online.account (google) and somehow it only shows 2 entries but no indication of loading anything else.  If I search a conact, it will show in the overview display, but once I click it i get an error message saying Found no contact with ID <some_long_id_number>.   My problem is version 3.4
Comment 2 KTP 2012-04-22 20:13:46 UTC 
Update to above comment:  Searched contacts now open just fine (in 3.4.1 gnome update) but gnome-contacts still does not load my contacts.
Comment 3 Allan Day 2012-04-22 21:42:35 UTC 
My suggestion - put a progress spinner with the string 'Loading...' below it in the contact list pane.
Comment 4 KTP 2012-04-22 22:22:14 UTC 
The problem isn't that it just doesn't indicate nothing is loading;  nothing gets loaded.  Gnome-contacts is blank.  Nothing,....  everything is listed in evolution (in fact too much, now I got EVERYTHING including google+ circled people...would be nice if only "my contacts" group was synced.  

I tried to remove online accounts, and readd it, but no dice.  Only thing that happened : the ID error returned.
Comment 5 Tiago Cogumbreiro 2012-04-22 22:26:10 UTC 
KTP, that's a different bug report, isn't it?

This one is for the lack of feedback while loading, whereas you are reporting contacts not being picked up.
Comment 6 KTP 2012-04-23 07:57:16 UTC 
I guess the original comment isn't all that clear.  I can create a new bug report, I don't think one exists for no contacts being loaded..

Well, this should go into other bug, but in the mean time. Putting a progress spinner in the contacts list will make it to thin I think.

I have filed the loading spinner issue as bug 699341. If there is a separate issue that needs to be addressed, please provide some more information. What are you seeing exactly? A screenshot would be helpful...
Comment 9 Tiago Cogumbreiro 2013-04-30 16:58:35 UTC 
The bug I reported is covered by bug 699341. Thanks Allan!

I consider comment 4 to be referring to a different bug, though.
Comment 10 Erick Perez Castellanos 2014-08-11 13:39:25 UTC 
Can I get some update on this?
I'm closing it in two weeks, if I don't get feedback. Thxs
