Hi
I've got a new Desire Z and I like it
On the first startup I synchronized all my contacts from my old Nokia N82 via bluetooth. I also logged in into my gmail account in the setup. The gmail account had no contacts.
I expected now the phone to synchronize all my contacts into the gmail account, but it didn't. I can push the "synchronize gmail" button in the phone settings, but it doesn't create all my contacts in my gmail account.
So how can I synchronize (backup) my contacts into gmail?
Thanks

I found a workaround.
I think the issue occured because of syncing the contacts in the initial setup and not later. Because of that they weren't created in gmail. All since added contacts have synced to gmail.
I exported now all contacts from the phone to the sd-card and imported them in gmail. Now they seem to be synced without any duplicates

Need to solve this, tryed everything I could think off and still not working.
I'm unable to sync contacts from People to Gmail.
Tryed with usual google sync (calendar, contacts, gmail) and I think it worked once right after I started phone first time, not really sure though since I deleted all contacts and transfered from my Nokia phone.
After that I deleted all my GMAIL contacts since it was regular garbage and tryed sync with phone. I just can't transfer contacts from phone to gmail.
Tryed running exchange account, I added it, mail syced but contacts wouldn't...
Is that bug with Desire or I'm doing something wrong?
Maybe gmail can't take phone number contacts?
Help
I was wondering this too.
From my old nokia I copied contacts to Sim
In my desire i copied contacts to phone from sim.
The contacts never get pushed to Google.
I also had a tricky time setting this up to work correctly...
The best way to sync contacts between Google and your Desire is to have them on Google from the start.
I had a Nokia 5800 before this and I synced my contacts into Outlook then found a programme to sync Outlook with Gmail - my contacts then got pushed to my Desire.
If you want to push contacts from your Desire to Gmail/Google, they have to be created as Google contacts.
I could be wrong but i don't think there's a way around this... I haven't found it anyway!
Yes, contacts on Phone don't get synced with gmail, only contacts which you save under "Google".
I'm still have second thoughts about concerning privacy since in all my contacts there are birthdays, private phones, other info, emails... basicly if I sync it google by just comparing emails can collect a lot of info on any of my contacts.
Sucky.
Hi,
firstly may I apologise if this has been covered, I did complete a search without
success.
I do not have Outlook on my pc,
is it possible to sync contacts with gmail without outlook, if not is there a relatively inexpensive method of purchasing Outlook ?
regards

If you have a Gmail account and Android, you do not need Outlook at all.
Outlook can only sync with Gmail with Google Calendarsync AFAIK.
On your phone in Accounts and Synchronization, Add your gmail account and choose the items to sync.
- contacts
- gmail
- picasa
- calendar
What are you currently using on your pc as a contact manager application?
Backup your contacts to your SD card and then restore them but select your Gmail account to add them too. It will then sync the contacts to Gmail
Use MyPhoneExplorer which is free.
Thank you for the replies,
I do not have a contacts manager.
I have exported to SD card, deleted and copied back as google contacts,
it now appears to be a gmail upgrade problem as the phone error message
>Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly<
I'll just have to wait to see if it works.

i have problems with the contact sync, my contacts isn't synced with gmail
basically i only created a gmail account for android my gmail contacts list is empty, i imported my contacts on fb and from the sim, linked the respective profiles, and turn on the auto sync on android
but there are no contacts appearing on my gmail account, i wonder what's wrong
i am currently using uk froyo 3.4.2-117
This issue started when I updated to lollipop.
I have 2 gmail accounts on my phone. One is synced with calendar, the other is not. However, whenever I put a calendar entry in it has the not synced gmail account as the default account to use. Even if I go into calendar settings and uncheck the non synced account, it will not display but it will still be the default calendar selected when creating a new entry. How can I make my synced account the default?
Thanks
Does it make any difference if you setup only the Gmail account you want as default during initial setup. .. then add the 2nd account.
I have installed the OUtlook app as I was using a Windows phone before. Now any new contact I save dissapppears as in a day. I cannot save new contacts, I cannot delete old contacts either.
Bump: Can somebody help?
If you have an exchange account, configure it via the Gmail exchange services and sync the contacts that way. Turn off contact sync in the outlook app.
