My TB is not rooted and I have done a hard reset to try to solve this issue with no luck. When I add a contact it will automatically save it to the local phone book and never get an option to save it to google. Even with a sync the contacts I put in my phone never sync. I have searched for a resolution with no avail. Any help is appreciated!
Are you sure you are not over looking the option at the very top? When adding from call log or directly from contacts, the very frist thing on the list says "phone" with a drop down arrow. You can choose to save to google, sim, or phone.

I've been having a similar issue on my rooted Thunderbolt. Every time I flash a new Rom, I lose my most recently added contacts. I just double checked my contacts and I have 16 saved to the phone (not Google) and I see no way to move them to Google. There has to be something simple that I'm overlooking.

Yes, when I save a number from the call list I get the option to "Create New Contact" or Save to existing contact". Either option allows me to type in a name etc. but never get a prompt where to save it nor can I go back and edit the contact and change whether it's saved to phone or Google. I can even hit the "link" button in the top right hand corner and the only option I get is. "All Contacts" I have hard reset the phone twice, and also removed the memory card for troubleshooting purposes.
Ok, I found a fix for this. In your contacts, select menu, import/export, export to SD card and choose to export your phone contacts. Now go to menu, view, and deselect all options except phone contacts. Delete every phone contact you have. Now select menu, import/export, import from SD card, choose the file you just created (if you have more than one) and select Google to import. Now all of the phone contacts are Google contacts and you don't have any duplicates.
As for new contacts, I have an option to select Google or sim but I always forget to. Looks like I'll be doing this often.
Hope this helps you!

I just tested this. I get the option to select phone, google, or sim if I create a new contact but do not have this option if I'm updating an existing contact. I assume it will update that contact wherever it is saved.

I do not even get this option when creating a new contact. I am not sure what is going on. All contacts are saved to the phone.

yup, it's right under name when you first save the contact. I don't think you can change it afterwards (which is retarded IMO). To be honest, I really like sense, but the AOSP dialer saves a lot of headache in this department...
On one Rom, I actually had to swipe contact entry page down to see the option of where to add number.

Can you post a pic of the screen you get when you add new contacts? I've forgot what the stock contact app looks like. I am on a Sense (Gingerbread) rom so I would think they're the same or similar. When I click phone at the top I get a pop up menu.

If you go to People. Then Menu -> View. Is Google checked? If only one thing is checked then you never get a choice, it automatically assigns the contact to that selection.
I made sure that Google is the ONLY option I have checked. I never get a choice either, but everything syncs to Google and nothing the the Phone or Sim.

thankyou so much, i asked about ann app of this kind after using go sms and loving the contacts search style in that. top app, top quality dev team!
Does not have Facebook Pictures syncing. None of my contacts have pictures. I'd really like to use this APP, but that's a huge deal breaker for me until it is fixed.
That's a limitation of Android. Install photo unlocker from the market and it will fix the issue.

Are there other alternatives? I hope GO Contacts have a root version which unlocks photo.
cool, switched to go sms last night, just installed this. looks good. needs theming options
Congratulations! It's perfect!!!! I really love the possibility to merge accounts because I had problem syncing my nexus one with google server and it copied my contacts 3 or 4 times. Now it's perfect! The only problem is to click "Merge" on every duplicate .-.
its cool app.
Man everything the Go Dev team touches is awesome.....a theme for this would be perfect. Way cool
Happened to stumble across this. Looks and feels great. Will put it to the test!
YES!
I was just waiting for them to release an app like this! I never liked youlu and have been using the stock app.
Going to try this out now. I think I'm turning in to a Go! Fanboy. They just need someone to check their english

Those contact pictures are from japanese pornz. lol
This looks promising.
It is a cool app to filter through contacts quickly
But then if I select one contact from the main list, I get the detailed view from the stock application.
Is this how the app is supposed to behave or do I have to change some settings?
By the way, after installation the app changes name from go contacts to go dialer
Another excellent app from GO team. I searched for a good contacts app alternative and I think I will stick with this. One important think missing only: support of other language letters in dialer. I'm interested for greek alphabet. If you plan to support this future, these are the letters:
Code:
--- ΑΒΓ ΔΕΖ
ΗΘΙ ΚΛΜ ΝΞΟ
ΠΡΣ ΤΥΦ ΧΨΩ
And if you plan to support localization, I can make the greek translation too.
Just let me know.
This app drains battery. I have been tracking it's behaviour for several hours via Watchdog Task Manager (refresh every minute) and it reported Go Contacts every 5-15 minutes. CPU usage was usually around 5-6%. Why is it running in the background in sleep mode?
Secondly, there is a bug with Go Dialer - sometimes (very, very often) clicking on the shortcut on the homescreen doesn't activate dialer. It's just not responding to touch. Then I have to re-add it to start working again. One more thing - the default icons are really ugly - it feels almost like iPhone, which is an awful thing for me. Uninstalled, but I'll keep watching the development.
im really liking this app....anyway to integrate Gosms into this?...that would be awsome!
Hello

What file?
there is no file it only allow you to import from a file not to export it. And if it did it i guess it wouldn't backup the SIM's contacts i guess.
right you want to put your sim contacts from sim to phone yes.. i thought you had them in a file already.
ok do you use ms outlook to store calendar & contacts? if so you can export them from outlook in file format (if you don't know how then google outlook import/export).. then place the file to your phone.. done.
or if you use google sync, and had sync'd you calendar & contacts before then simply re-sync your phone.
If all you need is to show sim contacts and you have no alternative, try the above or start from scratch.

On my ICS (MV2), there is an option to 'Import from SIM card'. It then gives me a list of all my contacts on SIM and I can import them freely.
I don't know if the import actually works because I don't have any SIM contacts, but it should.

Hello
I got "SIM contacts" app and it is working perfectly thanks every one for the replies and the help.
try Contact2Sim apk as welll. was useful for me
I'm not here to promote hate towards either app as they're both really good, however, I'm trying to be able to have a folder that I can place a photo in or even any other files in that would sync directly to my phone.
Say for example I wanted to send a picture to someone through a text, but the picture is on my desktop. If I use Dropbox, it isn't possible to get the picture directly onto the phone where I could send said picture, or any other file I wanted to send. There's no way to download the picture unless you "favorite" it, and who wants to do that for 50 photos?
With SugarSync, I could create a folder for my phone specifically so whenever I put a file/photo into the folder from my desktop, I can look at my phone and see it syncing onto it immediately.
So my question is, why hasn't Dropbox came up with this? I know it's "possible" to achieve this same result with ANOTHER extra app, but that's 1 app too much for that one thing. Also, are there other syncing apps out there that are good and known? I didn't really like or want to go with SugarSync since their Android app hasn't been updated for ages.
What are your thoughts?

Not sure of your issue but if you have a photo in drop box you can use your phone to view it and hit export. It'll ask where. You can tap sd card. And viola... It's on you phone.

Meh. The only problem, is what if I have 50 Photos I want to have on my phone, from my Desktop? Am I going to have to go to my Phone and click each and every photo and hit More -> Export -> SD Card, rinse and repeat x50? I know I can hook up my phone and just copy it over, but that's a hassle to do when you could just drag and drop.

They should introduce an app, i agree. But they are still offering something that could easily cater the need of photo storage.

Corners
"4Corners" is an app designed to help you navigate your device and make calls while driving.
The app's screen is divided to four.The special thing about this driving app is that you can control the app in two ways, by pressing buttons or you can just press the middle button and voice recognition will be turned on and then all you'll need to do is to say the number of the corner of your wanted activity.
So lets say you want to get to your phone you just need to say "1" and it works the same inside the phone activity just say the corner of the contact you want to call. It designed like this so you wont need to look on the screen for a long time just press the middle button and say the number of the corner.
In "4Corners" you're able to get to your phone and make calls.
4Corners gets your favorite contacts list, so make sure you have some contacts marked as favorite.
When you make a call or receive a call the speaker will automatically be turned on.
There's also a very simple music player in "4Corners" with not so many buttons so you wont have to look too much on the screen.
Except these two you can get to "Google Maps" through "4Corners"(just make sure you have "Google Maps" installed) and "Google Voice Search" which will enable you to search your phone by voice .(make sure you have "Google Voice Search" installed)

You can tell me your ideas, I would like to get some more criticism.
Found 2 crashes :when going to phone, immediately click previous, you'll get an array out of bounds exception.
Playing music doesn't work at all for me, I hear about half a second of music and then it crashes, before I get to see anything.
Also, it only sees 3 contacts, the one on the upper left is the same as the lower right one. I have 6 favorite contacts in total, but when I press next, it says end of list.

Ok so send a crash report when it crashes so I can check why it crashes.
Regarding your contacts, make sure that their phone number is marked as a mobile type.
You probably see the same contacts twice because he has two phone numbers marked as mobile.

I fixed these bugs and it will be on the next update.
For now the phone will work properly if you'll change your contact's number type so your contact will have only one mobile.
I also recommend to you to go over the information page and arrange your favorite list and edit your contacts as written.
So I have the problem as described in the headline. For example I added a contact some days ago and I notice today on Whatsapp it has no name. So I go to my contacts and see it shows only the number. But the name is still saved when I click on the number, but for some reason it won't show on Whatsapp or the contacts. Although it's all synced with my google account too.
I got this phone new and made a factory reset.
Anyone has an idea what to do?
You are not running any custom rom right?
I run no custom ROM and save my contacts normal on my google account.

Edit your newly added contact, make sure the person name is not added in Nickname column but add it in Name column instead. The contact app will not recognise and link with whatsapp if it is added as Nickname.

I think it's something with Google. Can you try to remove your Google account and once again add it?
If it's all about your google contacts then remove the google account from your phone and log in back.

Sorry for my late answer, but strangely enough this was the actual problem. By default when you create a new contact contact (unrelated if Google contact etc.) apparently the name you choose is the 'wrong' column called Name Prefix and it doesn't even show the 'correct' column first name. So everytime you create a new contact you will have to edit the contact and put the same name again in the column 'first name'.
It's strange for me and also weird that noone mentioned this before, everyone has to kind of search for a contact sometime and notice this?
Anyway thanks for your input and showing me the fault!

By default when you create a new contact contact (unrelated if Google contact etc.) apparently the name you choose is the 'wrong' column called Name Prefix and it doesn't even show the 'correct' column first name. So everytime you create a new contact you will have to edit the contact and put the same name again in the column 'first name'.
It's strange for me and also weird that noone mentioned this before, everyone has to kind of search for a contact sometime and notice this?
Anyway thanks for your input and showing me the fault!

Good to know that.
I now use Google Contacts from playstore, it's better for me.

So I have the problem as described in the headline. For example I added a contact some days ago and I notice today on Whatsapp it has no name. So I go to my contacts and see it shows only the number. But the name is still saved when I click on the number, but for some reason it won't show on Whatsapp or the contacts. Although it's all synced with my google account too.
I got this phone new and made a factory reset.
Anyone has an idea what to do?

I have resolved this issue by typing name in First Name field instead of Name Prefix
