[Q] Syncing linked contacts to Google?

I got my Fascinate a week ago and I've been playing around and noticed my phone contacts don't sync to Google, only Google contacts even if they're linked to Google contacts. Is there a way to merge all the data and sync that merge to Google?

[Q] Can't Create Local Contacts

I have an address book and calendar in Outlook 2007 on my PC and synchronize these with my HTC Sensation using MyPhoneExplorer.
I have just started to configure my new Nexus 10 and whilst I have managed to create a local calendar, I can't find any way to create a local contacts account - it only offer a Google Gmail account or a "Corporate" account.
I don't want to move my contacts and calendar to Google, especially as Google has announced it is withdrawing support for syncing to Outlook.
Am I missing something, or is there a way of having "local" contacts on my Nexus just as I have on my phone. If not, does anyone have any suggestions for a way of keeping my phone, tablet and PC synced as an ongoing solution?
Thanks.
I bought this last year after I bought myself the Galaxy Nexus.

Local contacts are not supported on Nexus handsets, it's a Google phone.
Thanks for the info! The key fact is your last comment. I spent some time yesterday searching for further info but I didn't find that. Can you tell me where this came from?
My problemn now is how to sync with my PC. The gsyncit program sounds good but if you believe the Google news release, it will also be affected by the withdrawal of syncing from Jan31, 2013 for new accounts. Granted, if I set it up now it should be OK but there's no guarantee for how long.
If I do solve the PC issue and move contacts to Google, it makes sense to also move my calendar. I have entries going back to 2005 that I'd like to keep. The last time I tried to create a Google calendar by syncing from Outlook, it would only sync around 30 days into the past. Is there any way to get the whole thing into Google?

Anyone else having sync issues?

Is anyone else having sync issues?
When syncing Google Contacts it will say "Sync Not available at this time"
I am getting gmail emails late. Sometimes 10 minutes and other times a few hours.
The built in Facebook app also will not sync with my phone. It won't even give me the option to turn the sync on. I am not getting any notifications for Facebook either.
I just came back to Android from an iPhone and all of this crap is making me think twice.
I don't use Facebook but my phone doesn't seem to be having issues syncing to my Google account. Contacts etc. Are all OK.
If you are at a loss you could always try to factory reset? Bit of a pain though setting everything up again.
Once you get the teething issues sorted I'm sure you won't regret the move from Apple

Google syncs only 250 contacts

Hello everyone,
Here is something weird to me. Got this ZTE Axon 7 mini just the other day. It was running Android 6, so I tried to sync all my 360 google contacts, and each time it only syncs up to 250 contacts. I removed the google account, tried again a few times but still the same issue. I have tried a different contacts application, bu it didn't help.
So I did the update to Android 7, and same issue, it would only sync up to 250 contacts. Please help.
Forgot to mention, the contacts are clearly labeled as belonging to that gmail address. Also, inside the phone I can create more contacts that would belong to the google account. Seems to be a sync issue. I also tried turning sync off and on a few times and there is no error showing for the contacts sync option.
Other things I tried: disabled the contacts stock application and used a different one, erased cache, used a contacts sync fix application, nothing helped so far.
This one blew my mind: Exported all my contacts to vfc, they got imported to my google email on my phone, the phone ended up deleting some of my 360 contacts until I was down to 277. There are no contacts saved to the phone memory or sim card.
The other thing I am considering to try is to use a hammer...
