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.
Is it possible to sync facebook contact to gmail?
Is so, how do i do that?
Hope someone can help me out here.
Anyone?
Do you want to sync Facebook contacts to your phone and then merge with Gmail contacts on your phone? If yes then do the following...
1. Sync Gmail contacts to phone.
2. Sync Facebook contacts using haxsync.
3. Download contact remover root to merge Facebook contacts to Gmail.

Hey Guys,
I got all my facebook contacts numbers synced and it comes in contacts but its not coming as phone contacts. Only when it comes as phone contacts i can use them in other apps like Viber and Whatsapp. Its not practically possible add and each very number manually (1800 friends ). Is there any way to copy facebook numbers to phone contacts or likewise?

Hello guys!
I am a big android fan and my old phone was the LG nexus 4.
I got now the samsung galaxy s3 from my work place so I won't be using
the nexus anymore.
Because it's a phone from work I'll need to configure two emails:
work email and my gmail.
In the nexus I had only one email address (gmail) and everything was synchronized to there ...
contacts, google play and much more.
I want in the new galaxy s3 devise to have the gmail account as primary but to configure also the work email:
to have contacts from gmail and the work contacts all together under my phone contacts
and to have seperation .. if I add a contact I want it to be synced only to my gmail contacts for instance.
so on the one hand, I want to have both mails and functionality on the same phone
but on the other hand a way that I can seperate between the two.
Thanks alot you guys!
It should have another E-Mail app installed.
You can use this or download another E-Mail app if you don't like the stock app.
Then you should be able to configure your work mail in this app, shouldn't be very hard.
I don't think you can also synchronize your work contacts. Maybe if you use Exchange, I'm not sure.
But you could just add your work contacts to your Gmail contacts and add them to a Work contact group.

thanks for the quick response,
any mail app recommended?
Also,
How do I add my work contacts to my gmail contacts without doing so one by one?
(is there some kind of export?)
thanks!
I'm on a custom ROM and using the stock Android mail app, but K-9 Mail is very good mail app.
I think, you should be able to import your work contacts.
However, I don't exactly know how you would do that. But I'm sure, you'll find an answer with Google.
thanks alot m8
I will try and update
Hey
I use Hangouts as my main messaging app on my S4. I am getting a Nexus 5 tomorrow, when i sign in to my Google account, will my messages, blocked contacts etc be sync'd to the new phone?
