Tried using search but it's down.
I synced my iPhone contacts with my Google account before activation my new GS3. Google only imported my contacts that had email addresses into my new address book. None of my phone number contacts were synced with Google contacts. Any help with this? Thanks!
EDIT: Figured it out exporting vcf from icloud then importing into google contacts. I don't see a delete thread option so mods if you'd like to delete this please do so. Thanks.

Hey all..
Have imported contacts from my previous phone. They all now show up as phone contacts. Is there a simple way to change these to google contacts so that they will sync with my gmail contacts?
Only info I could find involved creating contacts as Google contacts, not converting from one type to another.
Anyways, hope theres a solution to this.
Thanks

there is an app in the market, forgot the name, didn't work anyway. it changed the contacts to type google, but they were not synced with gmail. also on the hero after using this program it causes FC's for the acore process.
here's what i did: synced my hero to outlook, deleted all contacts on the hero, exported the contacts to a .csv, imported that .csv in googlemail and then synced back.
I cannot get my gmail acct to add the new contacts I put in my phone. Say I add 10 new numbers and contacts then sync with my gmail acct. Flash a new Rom after clearing all data then resign into my gmail acct. none of the contacts are there. This has happened to me several times and have lost some very important numbers in the process.
Anybody else having issues with google sync, or know another method to keeping all my contacts without having to write them all down and install them manually?

Sounds like you are adding them to the phone account instead of your google account.
Where are the Google contacts stored?
The only place I can see them is when I am creating a message and tap add contact. There seems to be all the contacts from my Gmail account many of which do not have phone numbers and some of which I wouldn't want certain family members to see.
I have tried every setting in contacts and accounts I can find but no luck. I have cleaned up my Gmail account contacts and did a sync hoping that would over write them but no luck.
Any help is appreciated.

Google Contacts are stored on your phone and Google server if I am not wrong.

By default Gmail adds anyone you email to your contacts. This used to be so annoying to most people.
Sign into Gmail on computer, go to settings, general, "create contacts for auto-complete" and check off "I'll add contacts myself".
Now go to your Contacts and start deleting the ones you don't want.
As for where they are stored, they are stored on Google's servers and not necessarily on your phone. Any changes you make either on your phone or via the web are pushed and synced I'm real time.

I know they are stored on the phone and gmail account but where on the phone??
Can you see all the contacts when you hit the contacts tab in the phone menu?
If not then from within contacts Menu, More, Display Options and select the google contacts, under that there is a few options of what to display.
Why not try this last resort, remove your Google account on the phone and add it again.

You are the man.
Yep need google contacts on in order to see them in Contacts. Then delete them and turn off google contacts again.
Now I can rest easy.
Thank you very much
No problem, glad to help, found out the hard way too!

How to get contacts autofill in gmail
Hi,
I use viewsonic tablet with android 2.2 running. I have a gmail application installed . Whenever I try to send a new email or take a picture and want to send through gmail instantaneously, I get up to emal "To " field. In there it expects me to type the whole email address again. This is even true if I want to send it to my own gmail id. I mean to say that autofill of email addresses doesn't work. All my contacts is synched with gmail account and that show all the contacts which is available through my email account.
Is there a way to get around and get this autofill option enabled?
Thanks

I am getting a New Samsung Galxy S-2 and would like to know how to transfer or restore my contacts, here's the Glitch.
I have a Atrix, and the Gmail Account is Different than the Gmail Account Im planning to use on the SGS-2.
How do I get the 465 contacts from one Google account to another?
Thank you In advance
Larry
go to contacts on the atrix
menu, and find the import/export
export to sd card
take the .vcf that it creates, and import it in your new phone. dont know of any way to take it from one gmail account to another.
i have to ask WHY you want to do it this way though?
why are you using a different gmail account?
My Primary email is a roadrunner account, I did something stupid I included "Atrix" in my gmail name.
I didnt get the Samsung yet, so I was try to figure out how to synch or get the contacts over to the new email
PirateGhost! you did it!
Hey thank you, you did it, you made me think..... I exported the entire 465 contacts to a Google File like you said, but I did it on My PC! and to my Desktop. I then Logged into the new Gmail Account Im going to use for the Galaxy S-2, and Imported them. Blink their all their.
Now when I log into the gmail account (New One) on the SGS-2, the Contacts will automatically show up on the phone????

yep. sure will
I have the phone running Android 2.3.4 (rooted).
I have two Google accounts setup on my phone. I use both of them as there are apps purchased from both accounts.
I would like to sync contacts from my phone to BOTH the accounts. As of now, contacts are being synced to just one Google Account. In the "Accounts and Sync", I see both the Google Accounts listed, with the "Sync Contacts" option enabled for both accounts.
Is it possible to sync contacts to both GOOGLE accounts from the phone? If yes, how?
Any help is appreciated.
Shameless bump... any help please?
So you want to have
Contact X to be on both Google Account A and on Google Account B at the same time? and have it appear two times on your phone?
I want contact X to be shown in both google accounts, A & B. However, I will prefer no duplication in the phone.

I'm also interested in this. In Options/Filter you can choose which accounts will display contacts, so you can avoid seeing duplicated contacts. Basically I'm interested in keeping the contacts in my personal Google account (which is the one synced with Outlook, to which I add new contacts) synced with my school Google apps account and ideally my Live account, for when I have to use the webmail interface of either one of those two. An option that pours (one-way sync) the contacts from one account to the other is also ok, as I don't expect to have anything synced from my school or Live account to my personal one.
