Motorola Defy does not sync to GMail I have purchased a Motorola Defy some time ago, and imported my address book from my old featurephone using the SIM card.

Under Settings / Account now I have two accounts listed in the Motoblur section (the motoblur account and an email account), and one account listed under Other accounts (the gmail / google account).

Now I would like to sync all contacts to the google account, but it won't: it has synced only the new contacts I added, but the old contacts are in the telephone only. What is the correct way to sync contacts to the gmail account?

I am running official froyo firmware, french version.
So it turns out that there is no other way than to do it manually, and it is not difficult at all :)


Get MyPhoneExplorer (I am sure you can do it using the Phone Portal too, but MyPhoneExplorer is just SO convenient :)
Go to the Contact tab, right click on any contact, click on Export/Import, Export all contacts, and select the csv format
Check that the CSV file is OK opening it in Excel for example
Open GMail, go to the Contacts link and click on Import, select the CSV file and import
Now return to the phone explorer, and delete all your contacts
Click on android's Settings - Accounts, click on the GMail account and click on synchronize contacts. All your contacts are restored to your phone, but now they are linked in GMail.
