how do i sync contacts on phone to gmail contacts?
My phone done it automatically? When creating contacts, it should ask you where to save it?
If they are on the SIM, go to People, press Menu and click Import/Export. Then click Import from SIM.
Then when you next sync (i.e. to get your emails etc) it will automatically upload them?

I logged in to the MSN Messenger and all contacts were downloaded to the MSN application.
The problem is now when I look at the phone directory at my phone contacts I see my contact phone but also a (long) list of my messenger contacts.
How can I seperate the 2 lists. i.e. to have my list of IM friends when I log in into the MSN and to have a list of contacts (phones only) on the phone contacts?
thanks
there is an option when you log into msn for the first time to add your contacts to your phone.....sounds like you didn't uncheck the box
so I can I undo it?

Right, this is my first smartphone, so can someone explain something to me.
I don't have a Gmail account (I use the HTC Mail thing to access my Sky email account when I want to)
What I don't understand is the whole "Google Contacts" thing?
Where do these contacts sync to?
Can I enter the contacts on my phone and then sync them to the Internet (rather than have them stored on my phone?)
Do I need a Gmail account for this?
Any help and tips would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks
Yes you need a google account,
And yes the phone will automatically sync the contacts to your google account.

The google contacts will sync to your gmail account, and be stored on the internet.
Creating a gmail account is fast and easy and you get a rediculous amount of storage (mine is at 7447 MB right now, and I am only useing 200 some MBs and I never delete things and have had the service since 2004).

with google/gmail account you have an access to plenty of google services -- google contacts is one of them.
htc desire has it's own People program that manages contacts for you. it can store your contacts for you in three different places:
- sim card
- phone
- google account
if you choose to store your contact as google contact, your phone will automatically submit your contact to google contacts service. so that you can manage your contacts there, sync with other devices/services that can use google contacts service, etc.
contacts stored on the phone or on sim card are, simply put, local to the phone -- not easily available elsewhere (i guess that you have to use htc sync, to push them somewhere)
how it works for me? i keep all my contacts as google contacts, so that when i add contact on my phone, it's automatically available on google contacts service site. most of the time i add contacts using webpage -- as it's faster -- these contacts are synced to my phone automatically as well.
VERY IMPORTANT: do not add birth date to your google contacts on your phone -- such contacts won't sync properly -- they will just disappear from the phone \-: luckly most of my contacts are linked with their facebook accounts -- and People app gets brith date form there.
I can't sync the contacts in both ways... only from the gmail account to the pda. There is any explanation?
Maybe the contacts on your phone are set to be "Phone" contacts rather than "Google" contacts? If you did sync them from Outlook to your phone, then that's the case. To convert all of them to Google contacts, export them to the SD card, delete all and re-import them. Then it will ask whether they should be Phone- or Google-contacts.
Thanks, I will try.
Well? I have synced all my contacts through my account, I didn't use Titanium backup. Is there a way to sync things like Photos, birthdays into the calendar and such? I see that the facebook app does allow it but it doesn't work
You can sync your Facebook contacts with your phone contacts. If they don't link, just go into the phone contact and press Menu > Join and select the right one. You can do it manually by filling all the info out of the phone contact.
Cheers dude i just tried that and although slow as hell, i put all the main contacts i wanted to sync in Favorites and did it that way...thanks again
My girl stored all her contacts in phone memory instead of with Google and everytime I upgrade her phone I have to make sure to back them up and restore them. What is the quickest, easiest way to move all contacts to Google after restoring them?
Thanks.
Export your contacts to your sd card via contacts>menu>import/export. Then log into gmail on your pc, hook up your phone, import your contacts to gmail, delete contacts off phone, sync to gmail then all your contacts will be on your phone as gmail contacts to sync up anytime you wipe your phone etc.

Nice! So look for the vcf to import on gmail?
You don't have to go on Gmail on the computer. You can do it all right on your phone.

This...
and to explain a little bit more, when you export your contacts on the phone, it creates the vcf file on your sdcard, and when you hit the import/export button again, you then choose import, and select the gmail account instead of phone, then the contacts you just backed up get uploaded to the associated gmail account instead of just restoring them on the phone locally.

Hehe fast from me!I found options on gmail /contact restore contact and works!!!But still it is same question.I create new contact on phone and when i sync i want to have on gmail contact too
I believe it will auto-sync to your gmail/google account once you have added it. Then when you switch roms. You can restore all contacts. Nice to see you figuring out your question.
But when i add some new contact to phone and go to sync on google contact create just THAT contact and delete all others also on phone.

Couldn't you do a bulk sync? And select all your contacts to be uploaded together, so google has an updated version of your contacts.
