Hey.
I bought a new g2.
Im trying to save new contact and Ive seen that the default location is the phone.
Even when set to display only gmail contacts it stays the same location to phone.
I dont have root yet..
There is a solution?
Thanks!

when you try to add contacts, set the phone location for saving it, should be 3 options, phone, simcard, and Google's account
I mean I want the google option to be default.
haven't found a solution yet

Manually set to save in Google is the only way I know so far.
Default is convenient, yes, but I guess it's the way to go now.
I have the T-Mobile D801. The 1st time I hit the (+) button to create a contact a menu came up asking me what I want the default storage to be. I haven't found a way to change this or get the menu to come up again.
I would be very happy if LG fixes this error in the next firmware version.
on my d800 after adding a contact and changing location to gmail once, now whenever I add contacts it always default to gmail
SOLVED
If you have the LG G2 on Verizon you can go into the Verizon cloud app and disable it from syncing anything at all.. This will force the phone to save it as Google. I looked at this forum because I couldn't figure it out. I then tried this and it worked! You're welcome!

Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Google Apps -> Clear Data
Or, some say you can change your gmail password and you'll be prompted on your phone for the new password and can change the account at that time.
However, if you're giving it to somebody else, it's probably best to go ahead and factory reset (i.e. clear the data) so that the new owner doesn't have legacy contacts and calendar events.
I do not know what happens with purchased apps when you change the Google account.
thanks for the help... ended up just goin for a hard reset in the wnd... nearly had a heart attack when the phone seemed to freeze for ages.. sumthin to do with wavesecure (i never set it up)
But all sorted now
i have this build since 1 month now, and i love it!
but now i want to change the google-accounts (the new account is from my domain using google apps)
i googled around a little but, but didn't found a solution
is there any way to get into a "first boot"-state, so i can set my new google-account?
another question is: is there any way to merge apps between 2 google-accounts. afaik the apps from the market are bound to the account.
hopefully my english skills were good enough to describe my problem.
greetings
havox
is there anything missing in my description to solve my problem?
or is it impossible with CM7?
How about:
Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Add Account ?

Hi,
Have you tried :Settings>accounts and sync>google>remove account?
Or apps>setup?
ok - thanks for the answers
but it's not working :/
i tried the "remove account" in account and sync, but there is a message that i have to set back the phone to factory setting. (under point "privacy")
but this doesn't work. i can push the button "delete everything" - but nothing happens ...
@malybru: what do you mean with "apps>setup". i suppose i found it, but what i have to do there? there are listed all apps, right?

Hi,
It may just be on my ROM,but I've got an app called "setup".
I suppose it's the one that runs when you first run a ROM ,and you can install your google details and wi-fi etc.
I realize this thread is nearly 1 year old, but I'd like to add something here that I know works.
I had to merge my two gmail accounts and by chance, I found that this approach worked.
Go to settings and apps for Google Play, clear the cache, force stop and uninstall updates. Go back into Google Play. You'll have to click on Accept on their T&C, then click on Menu to see accounts... select the account the app is in that you want to move to the other account. Uninstall it. Menu, Select 2nd account you want to move app to, then install.
If you don't want to lose the cached data, well, guess you're out of luck. The above was the only way I was able to move over my apps from one gmail to another gmail account.
[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 have been searching for the same sir. The other thread that was made on this, came up with nothing.
The default behaviour of android is to save to the last location selected, but the G2 phonebook doesn't seem to allow changing from the default which is the phone memory.
Rooting the device and tinkering with the APK for the phonebook could do something, but apart from that, I havn't been able to find a solution.
Plus one on this one

i have lg g2 international and have this bug real problem for me after htc sensation
Just edit the contact and at the very top it will show where its saved, click there and chose where u want to save it to (select the gmail acct u want to use). Also you can export all your contacts to a file then login to your gmail from a computer and import that file.

Same with calendar's.
anyone found work around to this? My galaxy S2 can do it easily, once I save my 1st contact to gmail, it sets gmail as my default contact storage and I don't have to keep selecting gmail every time I want to save a new contact. But with G2 I have to keep selecting every time I want to add new contact to the list.
+1 here... (I started another thread and now I found this one with same problem)
In calendar it shows only selected calendars that is ok. And somehow it uses my default google account for calendars.
But in contacts it gives option to save to "phone, SIM, google account 1 and google account2" and default is phone.
lg g2
I have KK 4.4.2 and i have the same problem.It's very annoying...Everytime i have to change when i want to save a contact.
Thanks to this feature (bug), I have lost quite a few contacts.
This is a serious issue which can potentially prevent you from getting laid. If you know what I mean.

This is one major flaw for me. Plus the ability to not change navigation bar targets.

I did factory restore on my phone and it made the trick
Sorry for bumping old thread, but is there any fix for this?
Its annoying to click every time to change sync from phone to google, plus, I lost many contacts because of this when changed the ROM
the bug is still present in lollipop
Same bug in the G3.
I wonder if the G4 suffers from it as well.
I wish for an xposed module would fix it.
I am having trouble with saving contacts. By default it is set to "phone" and everytime I have to choose my google account when saving account.
I tried deleting data in apps , "contacts, phone, etc,..." but still when creating new contact it is selected to save in "phone"
Has anyone any clue how to set default save location to my google account?
thank you!

Go into settings while in contacts, and uncheck the other options, leaving only Google contacts selected.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Nope... doesnt work for me... I have checked settings /contacts to show / custom and unchecked all but my google account.
stilll when typing number and saving a contact or creating new contact.. default selected is "phone"
My Incredible 4G does that too. Annoying.

Go in to Phone orContacts settings, and then click "Contacts to display"
Select your google account.
It will then default to save on your google account. Obviously you will not see contacts from the phone or other accounts but I save everything on google so works for me.
cheers!
Nothing helps - searching since 6 month!

Nope, it will remain saving new contacts to the phone as default. I also have all my contacts saved to google, because i sync it with other devices. I'm realy wondering that only a few people complain about this issue.
If someone found a solution in the meantime - please let me know. Thanks
Same here
Not really a solution but FYI http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50637743#post50637743

I have same problem but I don't know any solution for it at all. I though the KK update will make a difference but it didn't do anything. The problem remains the same in KK as it was in JB:crying:
Yip same problem here with no solution. Lost my contacts because of it. Really poor from lg.

It is not LG thing, It is KK to blame; Last update of KK (4.4.2) does ALWAYS default save location to "phone" It IS realy annoying !
you can choose google acc. from drop down menu when saving a new contact, but you have to do it so EVERY time you add new contact
P.S. And no, you have not lost your contacts: just go to settings in contacts app, then choose display contacts and select customize, then check google contacts and phone - voala
Add one more person who was wondering and getting annoyed with that... isn't it a bit strange that there's no setting to change the default contact location??
Anyway... is there a way to export contacts from the phone to Google? Say for example you're in a rush to add a bunch of contacts, can you somehow get them into your Google Contacts later on?
Guess I will try and add all contacts on a computer from now on.
One more person who finds this really awkward. It must have been the same before KitKat, because when I updated (and wiped my phone) I lost a few recently added contacts...
The same applies to the calendar, new entries are by default added to the phones calender, and I can't find a setting to change this.
Finally, whats up with the "recent calls"-menu? If I go there, I expect a list of the calls I've made, received and missed, in reversed chronological order. Going to "recent calls" on the G2... Well, I can't for the life of me figure out what it shows. I always have to go via menu and filter out either dialed, received or missed. It's idiotic.
I would be very happy if LG fixes this error in the next firmware version.
no one has found the fix yet?
its weird
When you save a new contact, you have an option above to choose . Phone Contact is default, you can also choose Google or SIM .
Hope this will help .
P.S Sorry for my english mistakes .
Problem still present in Lollipop...
No fix yet ?!

We already know this. We just want "Google" from the dropdown list as default, every time.
Still not resolving?..
