Hey guys how do you save new contacts on optimus 2x to Google account by default. I must change from phone contact to google acc. each time when saving new contact, is there any option to set google acc. as default for contacts. Thanks.
Hello,
First can you tell witch rom version you are using? Any third party software to manage contacts?
I don't clearly know how to do it but this first info can clearly help with the answer.

on cm7 you have to choose every time. On the stock rom would not know.
I use stock 2.3.4 and have to choose every time time.
yeah.. it is kind of annoying, buy still it's better than loosing all your contacts..
On O3D I set google acc. as default in options and never ever lose any contact, but also dont have to choose on adding new contact. Thanks for help anyway, why would it be simple, when it can be annoying and complicated.
All you have to do is sign up for the Google back up when you first load the market. It will auto back up apps and contacts. Very useful for flashing. Its free and when you flash a rom you just log back into the market and hit sync at the last page

I'm running cm7 and I've never had to choose where to save. You just select the option to do it everytime.

At one time I was able to save contacts to gmail. I no longer get this option and when I sync "Contacts" the newest ones do not make it to my GMail account. How do I fix this, and/or how do I set GMail as default save location? Thank you, sorry if this has been covered a lot. I was unable to find my same problem via search.
nobody? 10char..
Info might help... what ROM are you running? Are the contacts saved to phone or SIM currently? If you add a contact to your Google account (from the gmail web) does it make it to the phone? Does anything else Google sync like calendar, reader, etc?

Cog 4. All contacts saved to gmail. Unless they're new they saved to phone and cant sync to gmail. Hence this thread. Was able to sync them by putting them into gmail first and syncing to phone. But how do I go back to doing it from phone to gmail? There use to be an option after I would insert a new contact.

Sounds like one if 2 things. A bad flash or Gmail not being set up on the phone. Everytime I add a new contact it gives me the option to save to Gmail as long as Gmail is installed on the phone.

I had the same sort of problem after flashing Cog 5 beta 2. The phone never asked me where to save the contact the first time and it defaulted to the phone. While in the contact app, hit menu/more/settings and select where to save new contacts.
Hope this helps!

Hi guis.. i need one thing to ask you..
Is there something that I can do to save contact as backup... but I want to save contacts and pictures on that contacts...
Thanks
Enzo,
simply associate your phone to a Google account and your contacts will be safe even after a ROM flash or a new (Android) phone purchase. No software needed.
Cool eh?
Or, if you really want an app for a local backup, I think that MyBackup is a good app for that.
Ciao

I'm agree, the best think is synchronize it with google account! If you want you can exported it by gmail, in many format compatible with many app.
Thanks guys
Somehow, I am not able to get to the screen where you choose to sync your facebook contacts like when you first get that after installing a rom/wiping data.
I can not add a facebook account through accounts and sync. Deleting all facebook data doesn't help it. Please help!
if you open the fb app and go into settings, there's an option to sync contacts

If you can't add an account, it might be because you used Froyo's method of app2sd. Move the app back to the "internal" memory and see if you can add an account back (you may need to reboot for it to show up in the account selection section).

There is no such option in my FB App either.
Is there a solution for re-syncing the contacts?

If that isn't the case, you may not have enough freespace on the device to store any info...
That weird, for me when I go into settings and scroll down I have this.
but just follow bassmadrigal instructions above.

That was just the setting I didn't have. Don't worry anymore, though, I solved it by using an external application. Furthermore, I would just like to say I do not run ICS any longer. I currently run samuaz CM7 ROM and will continue using it until all the major bug and stability issues with the current ICS builds are ironed out.
ICS really is a great ROM and it's gonna be a tough choice between choosing an AOSP ICS build or a cyanogenmod AOSP ICS build. I really "dig" cyanogenmod so that's probably what I'll look forward to.

I didn't use app2sd or something like that. So I think the app is in the internal memory.
And my phone is just 3 days old so it should have enough space.

If just some aren't working, then overall, your app is working, it just isn't always able to find the right person to sync it with. Just find that facebook contact, then click on their picture to get the little popup with email and their contact card. Click on the contact card and select edit contact, then use the menu button and click on join. Find the contact in your normal contact and select that person. This will join the contacts.

Sorry I didn't made it clear: There are some Fb contacts missing, not the link between my contacts and Fb.
So it isn't possible for me to link them, because they don't exist
Is this with the stock facebook app? Because I know if you use third-party ones like Friendcaster, if they blocked the app, they won't show up. If it is the stock app, I really don't know. I haven't seen that issue at all.
Hi all,
For all years, I could not find a way to add a new phone number to google contact from samsung captivate. Usually, the way I got the new phone number from a person is that I get his/her number and call it right away so that we both have log on our phones. Then, I add the name. But I never find a way to add it to google contact. Then, later at home, I need to log in gmail and manually add it again. Is there way to add it on the phone? If yes, can you tell me step by step? I appreciate it a lot~
After u create the new contact just go to Menu/ Settings/ Accounts and sync and then click on your Google account and select Sync Contacts.
Also u can go to the Contacts/ Menu/ More/ Settings and then select "Save new contacts to" and u can choose Google. And if u have the Auto-sync on and the Sync Contacts checked, it will sync ur new contacts for you when u add them.
Thanks a lot. Never thought there is a setting for the contact. Have a good night.

Hi,
Can anyone help me backup my phone contacts from my X8 to my N7000? Or even one better, move the phone contacts to my google account..
Thanks.
Re: [Q] move phone contacts
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the x8 android?
What system version is it on?
You should be able to just go to settings -> accounts and setup contacts sync with Google
Have you tried that?
Re: [Q] move phone contacts
This is what I did for my phone: set up your android with your Google account open contacts and add a contract manually it will ask if it should sync with Google select yes....then create a contract backup on your other phone and get it on your new phone with Bluetooth....then on the new phone select import contacts and import the backup.....once imported it syncs with Google and done

Thanks for your fast answers. Even though i didn't quite understood how i did it i was trying your tips and finally i have my contacts in my N7000 and they're merged with my google account.
But i obviously screwed up somewhere cuz all my contacts now appear duplicated!!
Oh my God, what a mess. Is there any easy way to fix this?
Thanks for your patience.

On contacts press the menu button then go down to "display contacts" or "contacts to display" there choose custom and remove unnecessary displayed paths aka sim card or hotmail or whatever you don't need.
Or if you haven't merged facebook with google contacts then they will be displayed twice. Just check the icon that is shown on the dublicated contacts and merg that with google or remove from showing.

This was very helpful, but all duplicate contacts are in google account in "My contacts" and are exactly the same contacts i had in my X8, i believe some error occurred while trying to backup contacts.. I'm afraid that even if i delete them one by one they'll still be in google and i would like to solve this.
Also if everyone doesn't mind me asking one more question.. I noticed the dialer keeps repeating same contact log instead of grouping all logs together in same contact.. Please check picture. Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks for all your help so far.
Found the sollution!
Contact Duplicates Removal: Found below solution. My only problem is I don't have a "Find Duplicates" button! I don't even see a right-side panel!! Be gentle!
"Open the Contact Manager.
Click the Find duplicates button in the right-side panel.
We'll display the duplicates we've found. You can expand them by clicking the details link next to each one and uncheck any that you don't want to merge.
When you're ready, click Merge at the top of the list."
