I am having trouble syncing my contacts that I inputed on my Atrix to Gmail. Even if the contact is Linked to both Phone and Google, none of the contacts show up on Gmail from my computer, but if I add a contact from my computer, it shows up on my phone. How can I sync from my phone to Gmail? btw, this is my first Android device.
Thanks.
I have exactly the same issue and it's driving me nuts! Creating a new contact on the phone adds it to the "Contacts" group but there doesn't seem to be a way to get that to sync with google/gmail. Have you found a way around this?
Ok, my phone auto syncs it with contacts and gmail, but I think I know why yours isn't.
Open the contact and verify that it has a linked profile to your google account. If it does not, then link it.
If it does, go to settings > accounts > gmail account
Hit the menu button and sync. Log into your gmail account on the desktop version, not mobile version, hit contacts, click all contacts and verify.

If I create a brand new contact I can't link it to gmail because the contact does not exist in gmail. Your method only works if I have the contact in gmail/google also.
Anyone solve this yet? I'm dealing with 150 contacts or so that were imported from a sim card and trying to figure out how to get them into gmail.
I think I might be able to do export all contacts to a file, then email it to myself, then import all contacts to gmail but I'm trying to avoid CSV errors.
thunderbolt
I am having the same issue in my thunderbolt. I just rooted it and when I went to look for a contact that I added when I got the phone I realized it never was sent to my gmail account and now it is not synced.
Thunderbolt
Through some searching I found that the thunderbolt defaults to a "phone" contact when you enter one on the phone. You have to select it as a Google contact before you even put it in the phone. You can't change this after putting in the contact. I'm glad I found this out early enough so that I only lost one contact.
I had this issue and found how to solve it:
Open ContactsApp->Menu->More->Settings
Here each phone is a bit different but you will be able to choose how to set your new contacts, whether it will be on your phone contacts, a specific gmail account or all.
In My Motorola Atrix, it automatically saves to contacts (and cannot be removed) and if you have more than 1 gmail account it all gets mixed up there and you should add/select the right one.
Hope it helps.

This is the correct method and set by default on the Atrix.

Make sure FACEBOOK is added under MANAGE ACCOUNTS and then look at DISPLAY GROUPS to select ALL CONTACTS.

Just to be clear, we are talking about viewing contacts on your Atrix and not viewing contacts on GMail on your PC. The point being that Motoblur does not push contacts from the various Social Networking accounts to your Google hosted Gmail contacts. I think you already know that but wanted to be sure. Did you try to delete your FB account on the Atrix and re-add. Also, and this should not make any difference, but I do not have the FB app installed. I find it a bit useless.
How do i upload my phone contacts to gmail???
i have gmail synced but my phone contacs are not getting uploaded to gmail. the addresses from gmail do come to my phone.
but my contacts are being uploaded.
same thing with my calender
When you select edit contact if it shows as 'Phone (PC Sync)' then that means it wont be synced with gmail. You need to upload the contacts in csv format to gmail via a PC and then enable contact sync on the phone.

In contacts, filter the view to only show phone and sdcard contacts. One of the menu options will export contacts to sdcard. Once that is complete, import from sdcard will prompt you to chose phone our gmail.
When you create a contact make sure to select gmail contact at the beginning. That prevents any problems in the first place.

Hi,
Was just wondering how do you have the phone contacts use the facebook pictures? Right now my contacts are only using the google pictures.
I do have facebook account setup and click sync contacts.
Thanks,

when i sign in my facebook account on my phone it asks me wether to sync all facebook friends, sync only with existing contacts or don't sync, i choose with exsisting contacts,but facebook syncs with all my friends from facebook even some without numbers. And all i want with the sync is for my friends to their facebook pictures, but they don't. How to sync my contacts to have pictures?
I join the contacts manualy. From Contacta. One by one. Select contact, menu button, join contact.

Just let your Facebook manage your contacts in the Facebook app settings menu. Imho.
settings, accounts, facebook, sync might work?
Just go to your sync settings. You'll find it there.
in settings/account/facebook and sync
