Ok so how do i get my wife's contacts to sync to Google. Or where can i put them before i root it and have it accessible to download again too her phone. I went thru this with my Inc but can't remember how to do it.

Under contacts press menu then import/export then export to storage.
To sync press menu then accounts and press the account to sync to.
I would do both definitely does not hurt. Just give it time to sync back to phone after flashing or you will have double entries

So I just noticed that whenever I add a new contact its not being synced and added to my Google contacts .. whenever I added a contact on my nexus it automatically added it to Google contacts. How come it doesnt on the tbolt?

I am seeing the same thing... My droid always uploaded everything and now my Thunderbolt doesn't. The Apps don't go to the Cloud either. It says when I setup the google account that it's going to sync but I don't see it doing anything. I reformat nothing comes back....

Seems there's often a delay between the syncing of Google and my backup.
Sometimes when flashing roms ill get all my contacts at once other times it seems to take awhile.
Best option is to export your contacts to sdcard occasionally.

Well that's dumb. Does anyone have a solution?

I noticed this too. Not sure why this is happening. Maybe the GB build does not have the Google sync functionality working properly?

I suggested a solution, export contacts to sdcard.

That kind of defeats the purpose of an android phone then.. its made so everything is synced with google regardless of which device you are using
Hm, im not using a GB build, im using perfect storm weird

I was having this issue as well, and read about it somewhere on here.
Google.com/contacts is your friend. Use it.
If you input a contact, via the phone, make sure you change it from a "phone" contact to a "Google" contact.
Problem solved. ;-)

Ah thanks, for some reason if you add a contact from another app it would default to the "phone" contact option with no option to change to google.
Thanks

Is there a way to make the Google way default?
In the gmail app, whenever I get mail, I will get a notification instantly. I wonder, is this same thing possible for gmail within the HTC mail app? Because that app is so much better looking and easier to use..
HTC Mail app is a pull app not a push app. The only way to get instant notification is if you have sync set to sync every minute which of course would drain your battery in about an hour.

Ah damn that sucks. Why couldn't HTC just skin the gmail app as well..
I actually get push mail through the htc app. I had to set it up manually. Setup like an exchange account put M.google.com. for your domain. Works for me

It works but is it safe to uninstall gmail?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I used to use this on my windows phone to get push gmail back in the day. I don't think its okay to delete the gmail app itself though. I just turned the notifications off for it so I don't get double notified and turn the sync off for it.

Once you merge you just need to sync with Google. Any change to a google number should be recorded by Google's back in.
Another way and this process is long but sure to work would be to save the facebook contacts to your phone. Then sync with google. Then merge the contacts.

I had something like this happen to me on viper's rom, i wasnt getting email notifications. Turns out i didnt have my gmail sync'd.
Go to settings > accounts & sync and verify you have twitter and facebook accounts. If they arent click on add at the top right. If they are there try to re sync them. If that doesnt work try to remove and then add them back.
Hope this helps

So hey I had a few new contacts. So I went into settings and synced those contacts. Then I turned sync off. I never have auto sync on because of the battery issues. But when I flash a ROM, and log back into my gmail. Those new contacts I recently synced aren't there

Yeah, same thing happens to me. I don't know Wtf is up with that either

You guys are saving them to the phone or to the email address, when adding them it will show you where is been saved. Once in a while is good to synch to make sure is been saved
