Hi All,
The Defy has what my google account contacts sync"ed" seem okay., now I hve many contacts in the Defy which is fine.
However, when I manually add contact within my Defy, it shows me "saved okay" but the contact I made is not seen from anywhere afterwards in the Defy., nor in my google account in gmail dot com/contact
I tried & tried & tried again, no hope. The Defy kept say "SAVED" but it couldn't be found from anywhere in the Defy the contact I manually added. Just like I never add one.
See if any solution from you guys. Thanks much. edmond
For me there are a few “annoying” things with adding contacts on the DEFY. I recently had to return mine due to the earpiece failure, so the following may be slightly off because I am working from memory
1) By default a new contact will be added to ALL accounts. For me this meant that each name would be added to 4 accounts (AOL, Exchange, Blur and Tmo). I believe the setting to change this is in contacts. You need to un-check the accounts that you do not want a new contact added to. UNFORTUNATELY, you cannot un-check the Blur account I would add a contact, then “un-link” the contact so I could delete the Blur contact and keep only gmail contact...
2) New phone contacts for any account other than Blur are “hidden”. Again setting under contacts will prompt you to select which contacts you want to un-hide.
3) New gmail contacts are not saved under “my contacts”. You may see that they show up under “other contacts” when viewing your gmail account on a PC...
Is there an option to save contacts in the Google account by default? I saw a lot of suggestions but none of them works. Every time i add a contact it's back to 'phone' by default.
It only defaulted to phone with me the first time. Has defaulted to Google ever since.

I have the same problem. I came from Samsung Galaxy and i think it remembers where did I save contact last time.
Quick test looks to me like the default save contacts location that comes up is the last one you used.
So save to Google contacts once and next time that's the default.
Pretty old thread but anyway. I have same problems regards to contacts. Even if my first saved contact is on google, for next one it asks me again to save it on phone. Any idea how to change that?
Same here. Any solution?
Any solution please? I have the same problem. It doesn't matter where you saved the last time, it will always save to "Phone contact".
Thanks.
You might try deleting (from the phone), and then re-adding, your Google account.
Hello, i tried everything that was suggested, so far i lost dozens of contacts when upgrading to android 5.0 because i was used to saving them on my google account.
Is there any way of making the google account the default save location for the contacts on the Android 5.0 ? Is there an app that does this?
- Already tried removing and adding the google account
- Cleared data from phone and contacts app
- Show only google account contacts.
- Saving a contact on the google account and rebooting, or adding a contact on the google account and another after.
Every time i try to add a contact it defaults the save location on the phone.
When you are saving contact there is option to choose where you want to save it.
That option is missing only when you are saving contacts that someone has send them to you via Whatsapp. Then it is saved to phone memory.
Hello. I have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks
Just got my Zenfone 2 and I'm liking it except when I go to add a google account, it doesnt give me the option to select and import Contacts. All the other check boxes are there except the Contacts checkbox, which means I can't sync my google contacts to the Zenfone 2. What gives?
I see that other people have had the same issue, anyone find a fix?
Thanks!
Same problem
Hi
I've recently discovered that i cannot add new contacts to google account through my phone.
All sync options are checked. I can see my google contacts but cannot edit them.
I've attached the screenshot. Any ideas?
Edit: It fixed itself. Didn't do anything.
Hi!
I now have 14.1.20170314-Nightly-ham on my Zuk Z1
Whenever I try to add a new contact, the only option I get is to add it to the online Gmail account or Outlook account.
I want to just save a contact on the phone (not SIM, but phone storage) but the option is simply not there. (Under Contacts > Add contact round button > Saving to)
Does anyone know whether that was a design decision or could it be a bug? Or, am I missing some setting that I need in order to do that?
I didn't see this feature on any rom but you have the choice to share a contact by SMS/Gmail/Notes/Bluetooth and... GDrive
