I have phone numbers on my phone that aren't linked to google sync so when I load a new rom, I lose them. How do I move a contact from "phone" to "google". And please don't say sync because it doesnt

U have to save each one separate. Open contact edit save to Google. Should work. It's a known issue with the tbolt syncing new contacts to google

I don't see a save to google option

OK when u add a contact the first option is contact type. Make sure that's google

Even easier still.
1. On computer of choice log into google mail
2. Click contacts and add, update and save.
3. ???
4. Profit
Transfer them all from your address book on your pc to google contacts in your email account. They should all sync automatically then. I saved all my contacts from outlook and then imported them in a .vcf file. Google it, is really easy to do.

Go to contacts.
Menu>import/export
Export to SD
Export from phone
Menu>import/export
Import from SD
Import to Google
(At least, that's the easy way... ;-) )

So I don't get what HTC did with the Thunderbolt....on my Incredible it used to send my contacts I added to the phone on Google. However now it doesn't sync them. And I can't find an option to save to Google instead of Phone.
When you add a contact, the second field is contact type: phone or Google. Choose Google to add to the Google cloud.

I have noticed, (and this I very annoying) , that when I first setup a new rom, after syncing my google account, it creates duplicate entries, one called phone and one called google of the same phone number.

It doesn't sync them because by default new contacts are not set up as google contacts. After selecting to make a new contact you must before inputting the name manually make it a google contact.

Open contacts
Hit menu
Hit view
Uncheck everything but Google.
This will make your default Google when u add a new one.
Then they will sync

And there is no way to edit where the contact saves to AFTER you make it? I could've sworn I could change it on my Inc.

This works great, thanks. I never liked having to select Google for each new contact.

Sure you can edit contacts. Go into the People app, click on one of your contacts, and press the Menu button and choose Edit. Not only that, but in the edit screen you can choose to link identical names in your phone book and the you can see what information is stored in the phone (which syncs to Verizon's Backup Assistant) and what is stored in Google.
Knave68's post above tells you how to make sure that your phone will sync with your Google account.
It doesn't let you switch between a phone contact to a google contact, am I missing something?
Go to people, hit menu, import/export, export to SD.
Then choose phone. This will export all your phone only contacts to a vcard file.
Then choose import from SD and set Google as the destination.

Thanks. It sucks they make it that difficult but that should do the trick.
I have a lot of contacts on my phone and want them all sync'd with google. Now, I could add them one by one but surely there is a better/faster/more efficient way to do this. I'm about to upgrade my Infused v1 to the new stable Infused v2 and I know I can export them and import them like I have in the past (just by using the built in function) but I would like them in the google format so I can sync them over the air.
Also, once they are in the google format will facebook be able to sync their pic's to the contacts? Cause there are only a handful that sync when I have over 100 that should have pics.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Export all contacts from phone to sd card. Next import from sd card and select google account as target. Finally, go to the contact view settings and show google contacts and uncheck view phone contacts. Done. I am awesome.

I followed these while logged into gmail account and watched my gmail account populate with all my phone contacts. Worked great. In gmail, merged all duplicates and then installed Contacts Optimizer from Google Play. That sorted out some of the dupilcates on my phone. Not perfect, but much better and now my contacts are backed up and I am ready to root... Will be clicking the Thanks for ya.
Title says it all. Any suggestions?

I keep my contacts synced with google so they are there as soon as I sync my google account to the phone.

Under contacts ,menu import/export choose export to Sim should make a exact copy of your phone book names it some **** like 001.v or a vcard something like that . Any way after flashing go back to contacts choose menu import from sdcard should search find the vcard and it will update your contacts

As the screen shots below show when im using the contacts its fine (1 contact per name) but when i search for a specific person 6 or more contacts show up for that name. I wouldnt mind this but when i save a new number say from a text message and try to add it to the exsisting its like a guessing game which one to put it under because only 1 shows up under contacts normally. If i add it to the first one it says saved but then going into contacts its never there.

I have run into this. You more than likely have more than one account syncing your contact (google, samsung, verizon?) To get rid of the contacts (multiple) Sync them to only one account, delete all contacts, then resync. Hope this helps.

When you have multiple accounts syncing the phone can't always reconcile small differences. If you long press on a contact you can join it to another one manually. It's been something I've had to do since I let Facebook sync.

MailDroid reads from the local address book on the device. There are a few free apps on the play store that import CSV files into the local address book.

You can import your csv file into your Google contacts, then sync your address book. It should work.
