I have a lot of contacts in my phonebook, and some belong to my Google account, and some are stored in my phone.
How could I change these contacts to be in Google too? I want them syncronized

Try synchronizing your Google account. Export all contacts to Google account, so all will be sync instantly. Try installing truecaller, it will merge contacts with photos

Go to Settings -> Privacy -> there will be an option to backup/restore your contacts using your Google account. Next time you flash a ROM, turn on Sync after adding your Google account and it will restore your contacts and favorite contacts as well.
Hope this helps you.
when u first added your contacts, did u create them under ur gmail account or ur sim card/phone-only? the contacts under ur gmail account get synced while the contacts in ur sim card dont
also check the display options (phone>menu button>display options) to see if ur contacts are just hidden
I tried all of your suggestions but if I try to re-sync my contacts then I will lose some random contacts and they are synced via my gmail account
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.
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.
Whenever I configure my Google account on any new phone all the contacts are automatically copied from Gmail contacts to device phonebook.
These contacts are synced between my old phones and Gmail and are with Google servers.
I can delete all contacts from Gmail app in order to stop this auto contacts sync.
My question here is if I do so will it delete all contacts from device as well. I have unchecked auto sync-up data option in contacts settings. And how
to stop this contacts sync between phone and Gmail.
I back up contacts as svf and export to SD card, and I don’t want my contacts to on Google servers.

If you have disabled the auto-sync (Settings > Google account > Uncheck Contacts) contacts won't be synchronized but you can do what you want on Google servers it will never modify the phone data.
FYI if sync is ON and if you delete a contact on Google servers (from the webpage) it will be deleted on your device too.

When I was configuring my new devie I copied all my contacts using a vcf file which I got from my previous device, but later when auto-sync
happened, there were multiple contacts for same name.
Here I would like to know if I delete all contacts from Google server (logging in through webpage) and doing a sync, will it delete those contact as
well created by copying from vcf. I mean those contacts did not came from my Google account so that have nothing to do with Google sync.

No. It will only remove the contacts mentioned on Google servers.
