Contact save settings - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hey guys, Sorry for the noob question but, I did a blunder. Actually when prompted to save a contact, I checked default settings for Local account contact. So when I ask to save a contact it directly prompts to save in local account. I want to save them in my google account. Is there any method so that I could clear the default. Tried clearing Telephone and Contacts. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
FYI : I am running CM13. Just in case

Issues with addind my google account with CyanogenMod 6.1.2 - 0.12

Hi All! I've just flashed my mileston with the abovementioned rom. And i just love it!
The only (kinda big) issue I've encountered is that I just can't add my google account. At the first run of the rom, there's no manu that guides me thru and aks me to add my google account. Also by going to Settings-->Accounts and sync, when I try to add my google account it redirects me to the standard email account adding menu, asking me to add an exchange email account.
Even by opening the Market, it says that I have to add a google account but then I choose add it and the market crashes and I go back to my Home menu.
Anyone can help me?! thanks a lot!

I presume you installed the google apps pack after the rom.

[Q] How to add phone number to google contact using cell phone

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.

Saving contacts default location

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was anyway to solve the following problem:
The contacts on my phone are synced with my Gmail contacts, I have a group called "Phone" in which all my contacts are stored.
On my phone, I have deselected everything except for the subgroup "Phone" which I created.
If I add a new contact on my phone, I can select that I want to save it to my google account, however one cannot select a subgroup.
So, I think it saves it by default to "Other contacts". The naturally it does not appear in my contacts list on my phone unless I select to sync that group as well.
Is there a way to change the default saving directory on the phone, or should I just move all my contacts to "Other contacts"?
Using Zues V3N, but this problem has been on the stock ROMs as well.
Thanks for any help.
Nevermind. Found the groups option when adding a new contact...
Didn't notice that before....

unable to save the contacts in HTC increadible s

Hi Every one
good evening...... This is my first time here and heard a lot about this forum and i have a problem with my HTC incredible S phone where the new contacts are getting saved however when try to retrieve the newly added contacts say after a week it is not there and i have lost a lot of very important number and i cannot find any logical solution with this issue and i recently updated the ios to ICS4 and previously it was gingerbread
please give me a solution to the problem or guide me to the site where the solution is available
thank you in advance
Well that's a weird problem... Try this: Recreate every single contact in one go and export them in a v-card file (that's the way, I backup my contacts - it's easy to backup and restore) after saving the file try a factory reset and import contacts after it. This could help u, but be sure that a factory reset will wipe out all your data on your phone (except SD-card).
It could also be something to do with your settings..
wen you create a a contact you could be saving it to your gmail account & your phone may be displaying the contacts on your phone.
and vice-verse. you could be saving to your phone & set display contacts to gmail account.
i do not think it is possible for you to just loose the contacts

i did check it and all the contacts face book g mail phone sim everything is getting displayed
well if it is synced to google, log in to your gmail account & goto 'contacts'
see if the missing contacts are there.. if they are then there could be some problem with the phone (highly unlikely)

[Q] Unable to edit Contact Names

Hi guys,
As per the subject, my contacts are all synced from my Google account and I am unable to edit the contact names.. changing numbers or email or photo is not a problem. If I create a new Google contact on the phone there is no problem in changing the contact names either; it seems to only apply to my Google synced contacts.
I also noticed that the synced contacts all say "linked" under their names while the ones that I creat on the phone say "Google". I am using sense 5.5 and Android 4.3.
Any input will be highly appreciated, thank you in advance!!
me too
