I have an HTC Hero from Sprint. The htc contactbook (people), when adding a contact, allows you to either add it as a google contact (for syncing with your gmail account) or as a phone contact (so it does not sync back to gmail account). Does the AOSP contactbook (contacts) have this ability? Just to clarify I want to be able to add a contact but not have that contact sync with my gmail account.
I am running cm6 rc1 and when I added a contact it says it is going to be a google contact

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but it's not a dev or an app thing.
So...
I use google account to sync with Contacts, Calendar. Everything working fine. Spent a few minutes to transfer my contacts from my X1 to Gmail and then sync them to my Magic. When I add a new calendar event or a new contact through web to my Google Account it get nothing but a few seconds to come up to my Magic.
When I add a calendar event using my phone, same thing. From phone to Google Calendar in seconds. Well, that doesn't happen with contacts tho.
I've tried it a few times, leaving a fulll 24 hour period to see if my contact gets from phone to google contacts. Of course, I store a contact as "google" type.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
PS : I use CM with bcrook's kernel patch for 32A devices. I'm not sure if that helps somehow but I just want to be sure.
Same here. changes to my contact list on my phone aren't getting back to my contact list in gmail.
Hi, they are but you have to go into contacts in your gmail account and they should be in All Contacts not the tab which says "All Contacts"

I Am able to sync my Google reader, my gmail and calendar but my contacts dont seem to be able to sync? how can i fix this?
Go to Settings and then Accounts and sync. Click on your gmail address and make sure that all the options are selected including Sync Contacts. Have you already done this?
One silly mistake I made when I first got my phone was I added a bunch of contacts as a "T-Mobile" contact and when they didn't show up as a Google Contact I figured out what I did wrong.
thanks for your reply and yes i have tried that but i just cant seem to get it to sync when i flashed cm 7 the contact sync work but i have returned to stock sense rom but it doesnt seem to want to sync.
Ive had a few different problems like this before so....
Do you mean; When you add your gmail, it doesn't sync and add your contacts that you have saved to your gmail account? Or when you add a new contact it doesn't save it to your contacts on your gmail account?
I have updated my nexus s to 4.03 (on two nexus s) but on one phone my facebook contact want to be linked
When I press "ADD ACCOUNT" can't add any facebook account to link with my contacts on other phone everything is fine.
Everything else is fine.
Google and facebook have some issues with the contact linking process. It can be hacked in but its not in there by default.
could you provide more informations about this hack please ?
it's not that there are 'issues'. google removed fb sync because fb refuses to let you save your fb contacts, so it provides a false sense of security, in the sense that the contacts always sync, but can NEVER be backed up.
if you want to sync fb, use friend caster. There's an app that will also sync profile pics, as well, but I can't remember the name right now.
Hi. When I press the Menu key under CONTACTS "Merge Contacts" option is missing. It's on other devices. I'd like this option because I'd like to merge my device contacts with my google contacts at anytime. It's not the same as syncing to my google account. My device contacts don't appear in my gmail contacts. Is this only missing from the AT&T I337 models only? I don't wanna import a .csv file into gmail and then sync down to my device. I wanna be able to merge my local contacts with my gmail contacts just in case I forget to save a new contact to my gmail account.
Which ROM should I install to get this feature enabled? I think its disabled because of the ability to use a AT&T Address Book Subscription for syncing purposes. I'm on a different Carrier and wouldn't need any of AT&T bloated features.
I'm not talking about Merging Duplicate Contacts. I just wanna merge phone contacts to gmail account.

I found the answer. I had to root the device and then flash the ROM to either GoldenEye 8.0 or Mint Jelly or AROMA Alpha v11
"phone" account in google calendar issue - how to prioritize own google account
Hi,
My GF has this phone and started using calendar so we could share things but heck it didn't synchronize! What turned out all events were added by default by a "phone" local account not her main gmail account (which is the main google account on phone) - and that does not synchronize ! Huawei's idea!
Is there any way that the events in calendar are added by default by the google account? or a way perhaps to delete/get rid of the "phone" accout/calendar ?
Unticking the "phone" calendar in options doesn't change the problem above
Other side of the problem is google calendar in my phone (android 6.0 , blackberry priv) somehow is now missing the shared calendar from her (google account is not listed there but it was). On google account when I log in from a browser it is there all allright
