Contacts phone numbers disappeared after sync to google After synchronising with Google, all contacts that have phone numbers associated with them disappeared. 

I tried to enter a new contact just to test this. If I sync again the new entry disappears as well. How can it be recovered? 

My phone is a Galaxy Note II
Did you clear Contacts Storage?  

Settings > Applications > General Applications > All (at the top) > Contacts Storage >  force stop   > clear data

then
Bring up "Contacts" you will then see "You don't have any contacts to display" > press Menu button >  Accounts > choose account to sync (your gmail account) > Sync
