Using the Google Contacts syncing functionality

---

Done some searches and still don't have a conclusive reason for this.

Use Case # 1:

1. Added a new Contact to People as a Google Contact
2. Phone states that Contact has been saved
3. Went back into People to look for the Contact and it's not there

Use Case # 2:

1. Added a new Contact to People as a PHONE Contact
2. Phone states that Contact has been saved
3. Went back into People to look for the Contact and it is there

Any explanation as to why the Google Contact is not getting added to People whereas the Phone Contact is obviously local and being added right away?

Another question -- How does one change a local Phone Contact to a Google Contact?

Thank You.

Use HTC Sync if you want to deal with contacts saved to the phone. Personally, every contact I save as a Google contact and have no issue ever. That way if lost, broke, or stolen, contacts will always be saved a la autosync.
maybe you have a faulty device. If you're not using google contacts then it would make no sense to save contacts as google contacts now.

When in People select Menu, then View and check what contacts you are displaying.

Thanks for the responses. It's just some lag time between the Device Google Contacts and Gmail Google Contacts. I see my contacts on my Gmail Contact List now.
