When I create a new contact, it's stored as a phone contact by default. Even though it's much easier than stock Android to just convert it into a Google Contact via a few simple clicks, I would wish it would store it as a Google Contact in the first place.
Couldn't find a setting for that. Has anyone figured that out with the stock contact manager?
Thanks!

If I have a Facebook account and would like to keep my contacts linked... why can I not select Google as my picture source? The only option is Facebook. I want to use the pictures 'I' choose for my contacts, not their Facebook pics. I know the Incredible lets you select Google as the source of your pics.
I really don't want to keep my contacts un-linked.
Thanks guys.

I'm also trying to figure this one out. I also had the option to choose my pic source on my Evo 4g. It must be a HTC option.
Anyone know if its possible on the Droid x?
Im also trying to figure this out and also the display name some of my contacts are using their facebook nick name instead of the phone book name. it is very confusing and id like to also fix this as well.

So I hard reset my phone and then tried to restore them using idrive lite. it Said restore was successful. Then go to contacts and nothing is there.

You should save them as google contacts. Then when you sign back into google it will sync all your contacts. and you can also add or edit them online. No need for any app to backup contacts since google provides this for you. As far as I know the AOSP contacts automatically saves them as google contacts.
Thanks for the reply but that's what I'm trying to do guess i should've said that but I was using idrive on my blackberry and I hadnt changed my contacts to goohle yet. Just looking for a way to get this to work so i don't have to add 300 contacts manually.

[Q] How to change the default contact save location from "Phone" to "Google"
I always forget to change the location before save.
Can i change the default location?
I remember that my old se arc can change it.
I'm pretty sure it asks you where you want to save when you enter a new contact.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Not even sure why there is am option. Bugs me you can save stuff to the"phone" when it should be automatically saved to Google.

Can change Google to first order?
Ii always forget to change this setting when add new contact.
I don't have that problem. I only display my Google contacts and untick the other options. When I enter a number and save it, it automatically saves it to Google. :sly:

FWIW, it is my preference to exchange all email via an alternative mail server, for privacy and security.
My Gmail account does not exist on my phone, so there would not be a reason (for me) to use anything other than phone contacts, calendars, etc., bypassing Google altogether.

Yes I was having this problem saving new contacts. I thought it was a problem with root or my clean rom install them realized my contacts were saving to att phone book and new entries would not sync so I was entering the same contacts in practically every day. Had a duh moment them switched to my Google account to store my contacts.

I pull up my Contacts and search for someone but it doesn't also search my Global Address List (GAL). Definitely need this for work.
Now I am running a lite version ROM of Stock and am using the KitKat 4,4 email and exchange services. My guess is that this might be the problem but wanted to see if anyone is able to use the stock Contacts to access their GAL.
enhanced email does, try their trial from their forum

I like the app a little more than I like Google Keep but I'd like to access it on other devices, specially on a PC. Does anyone know if there is a way? I couldn't find anything when I googled it

can you access it from Google? I found a setting to link it to the google account. I haven't looked to see if it syncs to the Google notepad or whatever it's called. Is Google Keep the notepad/memo app?

Google keep is a memo app but it doesn't sync with LG's quickmemo... My guess is Quickmemo's Google sync is to back it up
