Contacts Sync problems: phone contacts not syncing to Google I had some problems syncing my GMail contacts onto my phone, so I:


did "Clear Data" for the Contacts app
re-imported all my Google contacts from a CSV file into the "Google" account on the phone.


It managed to sync contacts with GMail after that.

But new contacts that I've added to the phone since haven't synced to GMail — although contacts from GMail will sync to the phone. (And if I delete them on the phone, they don't get deleted on GMail.) I'm also getting "Sync is currently experiencing problems" messages.

The question is: How can I make it sync again?

And if I can't, how can I avoid deleting the newly-added contacts or creating duplicates?

(I'm using an HTC Desire Z with HTC Sense.)
Make sure that when you add a contact, the contact type is set to GMail.  If it's set to phone then it will not sync to GMail and will stay solely on the device.

Contact Type is the first field on add new contact and is set to phone by default.
