Stupid question.

I'm trying to figure out how to switch a phone contact from Phone Contact to Google contact.

Id just make another contact as a Google contact the delete the other one off the phone, or you can log into Google online and add the contact through there and it will push it to your phone automatically.

Here's a bit easier way:

1. Open your People App
2. Navigate to Menu>Import/Export
3. Export to SD Card
4. Go to http://www.gmail.com
5. Log in
6. Go to your contacts on the left (I can't get to the page at work so work with me here)
7. There should be an option to import contacts
8. Upload the .vcf file that is on your /sdcard

If the browser on your phone won't let you, just transfer it to your desktop (usb, emial, dropbox...whichever way is your flavor) and upload it from there.

You can now delete all of your contacts and sync with Google to have them downloaded to your phone.

I was just trying to change a couple of contacts on my wifes phone. She didnt know that you should put them as a google contact so if anything happened there never lost. I'm getting ready to take her from Ava to Myn cause thats what I went to and I think Myn will have an update for the new software update before Ava. And it's fast as hell!

Yea, that method is good if ALL your contacts need to be changed. If you only need to change a couple, just make a new contact, as a Google contact, then delete the old one. I just tried on my phone, and there is no way to change them for some reason. You can change everything else about the contact, except changing from phone to google.
