Default contacts aren't syncing with google ?

so has anyone noticed that any new numbers entered in the tb is not syncing to you google contact list? i have all settings correct in the syncing settings.. set to google to synch contacts but yet theres no upward syncing going on at all. this worries me because i change androids so often i dont want to loose all my contacts here on on...

has anyone figured out this and how to fix the sync? i hope this is not a sense thing...

any info would be appreciated .. thanks

When I get new contacts I usually export my contacts on to my SD card and when I flash a new ROM i, import from my SD card. Ive noticed my new contacts dont upload to gmail as well.

When you input a contact into the phone, you have to select it as a "Gmail" contact instead of a "Phone" contact. Very easy to miss this option when you are putting a contact in. Once you have the contact in, I don't know of a way to change them to Gmail contacts other than doing some weird import/export thing.
