Problems adding contacts in 2.1 and 2.2

Ive been trying to add contacts to my list in 2.1 for a few months now. 'Add contact' in the contacts list, input the info, press save, sorted. But then i scroll down my contacts to look for it only to find that its not actually there. I cant find any trace of it at all. Its very bizare.
All my contacts are synced with my googlemail account, and ive only managed to actually add contacts by going to my google account on my mac and adding them there.
I thought ide be fine after flashing froyo but im still having the same problem. So it must just be that im doing something wrong.
Anyone know what i can do?

My friend said he had the same issue, and I think he told me that he fixed it by adding in both a first and last name.

[Q] Contacts + Calendar Sync

Guys
It may sound like a noob question, because im quite new to samsung and android.
My phone runs on darky 10.1,
since a few days my phone contacts wont show up in kies. The phone shows up, connects but the contact list in kies is empty. I do not have a solution to that, but mainly my problem ever since i got this phone(which is also the first android I use) - Resolved it, the problem was caused by deleting the wssyncmlnps.apk in system/app/ folder as i saw that it helps save the battery. Putting back the file to system/app sorted it, and now it connects and loads up fine. I do not know whether it helps stop the battery drain though, was following some forums.
I sync'd my contacts/calendar to the gmail account i made. It was a blank account which didnt have any contacts nor mail prior to the sync process because I never used it,
So my problem is that - why doesn't my gmail account (on the web) doesnt show any contacts or calendar content which i just sync'd from my phone ???
Thanks a lot in advance !

That is a very good question let me scratch my bald head and see what suggestions I can come up with! Back in a bit
Donate please @ Nitr8

1st suggestion is to try reflashing darkys, as what you removed and replaced is an apk, it may not be installed properly, or use a market apk installer to make sure it is actually installed, I will keep thinking

[Q] need to sync with AT&T Address Book | CyanogenMod ... help

my phone got soft-bricked (black screen of death) with stock froyo on it two days ago
i decided to install cyanogenmod this time, but lost all contacts and data while installing the ROM; and i obviously could not back up anything because the phone was not working
my contacts were synced with AT&T Address Book, though
but cyanogenmod, or i guess any custom ROM for that matter, does not have the option to sync with att address book.
please help me get the contacts back without having to go back to stock
i am desperate right now
maybe replacing the contacts apk with the stock one works?
any help is much appreciated, ppl

Can you get them by logging into your account on AT&T's web site? If so, you might be able to export them as a CSV and then import them into your phone or another contacts manager.

i can access contacts through the website. but i did not find any options to export the contacts saved there, only see the option to import into the att address book

found no way to sync with AT&T Address Book on the custom ROM.
finally gave up and had to put the numbers on my phone one by one
replacing contacts apk or adding the att_wssyncmids apk does not work, ffr

You should sync your contacts with google imo.

[Q] Edited gmail contacs not saving changes

Hi,
I am having a very strange problem with my SGS. Before I had a Nexus S and all my contacts are in my google account. I have my SGS sync with the google account apparently with no issues.
BUT when I edit a contact the changes are not saved! I press save and it says the the changes were saved, but when I go again to the contact the old info is there... I have tried to edit the address or to add/remove number in the contacs.
This only happens when editing existing contacts. If I add a new contact is OK or if I delete an existing contact it also works.
Any clue what can be wrong???
Thanks
PS: I have a stock ROM 2.3.6 JWZ

same problem here ....
sometimes my contacts get synced via googlemail - somtimes not ..

Really? How can something so basic give issues... and this is one of the latest official firmwares!!
Does anybody know if in other earlier/later roms work?
Or something better, where can I find the original contact manager from Gingerbread to replace Samsung's garbage? I have rooted and I guess I could get rid of it with root explorer, true?

Nobody else with the same issue?

I really don't want to flash again. And even less if I don't know other stock roms might have the same problem.
Nobody can tell me if they have any problems editing contacts from the google account?
What could I do, copy contacts to phone?

Hi, I have updated to the lasted official firmware for my samsung galaxy GT I9100 and am having the exact same problem as you. Yet it was working fine before update.
Did you find a solution?
Cheers

If u are on ICS,after making changes u need to confirm it at the top of the screen before leaving the contact

Contacts will not sync

Ok, heres a new one for me. Contacts on phone will not sync to google for some reason. I added a few contact to my phone list and when i tried to sync them to my google account, it erased ALL of my contacts, phone list empty. Restored my back up and got them back and tried again and same result. Tried flashing my rom again and no contacts or favorites synced to the phone. Restored my back up again to get them back but for some reason it will not allow me to back up to google account. Any ideas ???

Solved
