Bug Description

- sync contacts with google
- find a contact that has an avatar for the contact picture
- login to google contacts in the browser
- open the contact in the address book
- from browser, add a phone number and save it
- in address book, for the same contact add an email address
- press save

multiple problems:
- when sync runs, the avatar disappears in the address book
- the changes are never synced to the server (neither side ever updates)
- the next change that you make on the client which causes a sync takes a very long time to sync. apparently this is because we do a "slow" sync after an error. Not sure that is correct.
- this error was never reported to the user.

I fixed some problems with the server where some contacts details changes does not propagate to the UI. This should fix most of these problems.

But I am still facing the problem where the changes on the client overwrite the server data. For example:

1 - Add a phone number in the contact using the browser
2 - Add a email in the contact using the app
3 - Wait the sync

Result
The server get update with the new e-mail but the phone number disappear.

This probably is a problem in syncevolution I will try discuss that with patrick.
