Certain contacts in my phone don't get synced with GMail. Those contacts happen to be the ones which were transferred from GMail to my phone. I had transferred all my contacts from iPhone to GMail and then to my phone. Suppose I edit one of those contacts, the changes aren't reflected in Gmail. But, the contacts which were created on my phone remain perfectly in sync. Also, adding those contacts to a new group also doesn't sync. What might be the problem here?

Hey all..
Have imported contacts from my previous phone. They all now show up as phone contacts. Is there a simple way to change these to google contacts so that they will sync with my gmail contacts?
Only info I could find involved creating contacts as Google contacts, not converting from one type to another.
Anyways, hope theres a solution to this.
Thanks

there is an app in the market, forgot the name, didn't work anyway. it changed the contacts to type google, but they were not synced with gmail. also on the hero after using this program it causes FC's for the acore process.
here's what i did: synced my hero to outlook, deleted all contacts on the hero, exported the contacts to a .csv, imported that .csv in googlemail and then synced back.
My wife uses a Hero.
When she got it we synced it with pc-outlook and got all her contacts and calendar on it.
But while using the hero for several months without paying attention she added new contacts as “gmail” contacts and added new calendar entries as “My Phone”, instead of “PC sync”.
Now none of these new entries can be synced with outlook and what’s worse, if I want to change the rom I don’t have a way to get these new entries back to the phone. I know I can sync the gmail contacts back to the phone but she needs them on her pc as well.
A second problem is that after each outlook sync some of the original outlook contacts are duplicated. Erasing them doesn’t work since after the next sync they all come back. Some are 8-10 times over…
So:
1. How do I sync “gmail” and “My Phone” contacts and calendar with outlook? Can I change them to “Pc sync”?
2. How do I get rid of the duplicates once and for all?
anyone?
anyone?
I cannot get my gmail acct to add the new contacts I put in my phone. Say I add 10 new numbers and contacts then sync with my gmail acct. Flash a new Rom after clearing all data then resign into my gmail acct. none of the contacts are there. This has happened to me several times and have lost some very important numbers in the process.
Anybody else having issues with google sync, or know another method to keeping all my contacts without having to write them all down and install them manually?

Sounds like you are adding them to the phone account instead of your google account.
Since I got this phone at release, I've been using HTC Sync to keep my local Outlook contacts and calendar synced to the thunderbolt and it has worked fine. Now my organization has finally gone from a legacy system to Microsoft Exchange, and so I set up push email, contact and calendars, and then exported/imports my local calendar/contacts to the Exchange account on my PC (email was migrated by IT). Only problem is, now I have duplication of calendar entries on my calendar app (which can be hidden but not fixed by unchecking the local calendar in calendar app settings) that I want to get rid of.
I also have duplicate contacts, only thing is the phone linked them so I have linked contacts with 6 entries (phone, exchange activesync, facebook, facebook for htc sense, linkedin, skype) which is ridiculous. Is there any way to delete only the contacts synced from local outlook in the past (which are true duplicates of exchange contacts), then relink everything with the social media (except maybe only have it sync with either htc sense facebook or real facebook) entries. Also, I'm not sure how the phone is treating newly saved contacts, I want to make sure they go to the exchange server, not google or phone/sd card.
A last annoying thing, I use the mail app and primary gmail is my default account ever since this happened, I want it to go back to being my organization account as before (except now that account is exchange not IMAP).
Thanks for the help
You are confusing an Android phone with something professional. It is not! Get yourself a windows phone and the problem will be solved.
Could anybody say what is happening with the GMail account. I have my contacts in Outlook and synced them with my phone, then added the gmail account. After deleting gmail account from accounts in settings all my contacts are gone. What the ...???
A also noticed that when I have an existing gmail account I cannot set individual ringtone to a contact. When it's gone everything works. Anyway I don't want this gmail to sync everything, especially my contacts. Does anybody know why the hell on earth this crap is going on? Why can't I just use my contacts without gmail sync and other strange effects.

Yes happened with me too.
Totally idiotic.
And the worst part?
When I synced back the Google account... The contacts didn't come back properly.
All messed up and duplicates.
Idiotic.
Luckily I had taken a backup few days back and deleted all contacts and restored the backup.
I have totally disabled my contacts sync up with Google.

The only way that helped me is to sync my contacts with my outlook without creating gmail account, then set up all personal contact ringtones and only after that create gmail account in the phone without sync options.
