How do I sync phone contacts with Gmail?

I've tried so many things - adding them to a group. But new contacts won't sync from the phone to GMail. Only the other way around. Been searching all day for a solution.
Did you save the contact (on your phone) as a 'phone' contact or a 'Google' contact?
If it's saved as a phone contact is there a way to also sync it with your gmail account?
They're all google contacts but they're simply not syncing up with Gmail. They're stuck on my phone
Can you sync contacts that are not google, but on the phone with gmail?
Have you tried logging out of gmail on your computer and logging back in? Sometimes I've noticed that the new phone contacts don't show up on gmail until a fresh login.
Wow! Logging out of Gmail and logging back in sure worked! Thanks a mill!
I tried that but my contacts are still not syncing with gmail.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have you tried People->Groups->Menu->Sync Groups?
Make sure the proper groups are selected.
I don't have any groups in the group section and all I see is add group. Should I make a group or any other ideas?
I don't have any groups and hitting menu brings up adding a group. Should add a group? Any other ideas?

[Q] CyanogenMod And Contacts

Hi, I just flashed 6.1.1 and I really rely on the fact that my Facebook Contacts can sync with my GMail to create one big list. In the contacts app I see both groups just as I need. However, if I download an app such as GO SMS which replaces the default sms client, the only contacts recognized are that of Gmail and on my SIM card. The facebook contacts will only appear as numbers. Now having over 500 facebook contacts I cannot just add them all thats ridiculous. But, if I go into the default SMS client then the contact appears with name and picture...
Any ideas as to what's wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Editing facebook contacts...

I am using fission 2.4.3 ROM and i like the way it looks and all but is there a way to edit the Facebook syncd contacts like the factory Global contact list settings? it says facebook contact information is no editable on this device... am i missing soemthing? before the root and rom i syncd my contacts and was able to add numbers, emails and drag them onto the home tabs for shortcuts..
Welcome to the CLOUD!
Doesn't seem like such a great idea now does it? LOL
Here is what you do, it will require having or making a Yahoo Mail account but it will solve your problem.
If you use Outlook (like I do) it will be way more complicated but only because you probably want to use Outlook as your master list.
Step One - Go to Yahoo mail and import your facebook contacts into your yahoo mail contacts. (they have a wizard that does this for you) Then export Yahoo Mail Contacts to a CSV file. (This will work for myspace and linkedIn as well!)
Step Two (Google) - Import that CSV file into Google contacts and have your phone sync if it doesn't automatically (sometimes it takes awhile to sync)
Step Three - Look in your phone contacts you will now see dupliacte contacts of all your facebook friends. One will be from Google and the other will be from facebook. Select the facebook contact and JOIN or LINK (depends on your rom) it to the other duplicate.
You will now be able to edit all the fields not filled in by Facebook and a have a single contact for that person. (If you look you will see in the contact which profiles are linked together. You will have one profile for each contact source that has been linked. (one for Google and one for Facebook)
If you have Fission running you need to go into EDIT contact before you will get the JOIN button in the menu.
I have found that it is best to do most of your editing in Google Mail and then syncing anything else (such as outlook) to that (I use Companion Link).
And while it is ok to add contacts into outlook and sync with Gmail it is better to check those contacts for correctness in Gmail.
If they are correct in Gmail they are correct on the phone. And should you ever have to factory wipe data you will be sure to get all your contacts back when you resign into GMail on your phone.

[Q] Contact Groups

Anyone missing Groups inside Contacts?
All contacts sync properly, but all the groups they belong to are gone.
I've tried deleting the account and resyncing the exchange account but the groups are non-existent.
Does anyone sync to Exchange and have contact groups working properly?

Whatsapp adding contact error

I had been uninstall and reinstall whatsapp many times , deleting the folder and restart the smartphone but whatsapp didn't show my contact in the list.
As for instant , Whatsapp search my Contact added at the phone and add the contact number into Whatsapp contact accessing their server but it doesn't.
Whatsapp cannot find any contact at all as if Whatsapp cannot search Phone Contact to add into whatsapp Contact.
Can I manually add or export the contact like to .xml or .vcf and let Whatapp to import those .xml or .vcf ? Something similar with Ms outlook ?
