I found an interesting problem syncing my Gmail contacts. It may have already been solved here, but I did a search and couldn't find anything.
Here was the problem. Bought DroidX on 15th. Verizon backup assistant copied all my old contacts onto the phone. Cool, right?
Added a few more contacts, but when going into Gmail, only the new contacts show up in the contacts list. Not any of the old ones. Under accounts in the contacts app, it lists two accounts, Gmail and phone only. Phone only contacts syncing was disable and could not be activated. I have a feeling this had to do with backup assistant locking up those entries.
After trying to find a resolution online and not meeting with much success, i tried my own way. So what I did was go into MyVerizon, export all my contacts into a CSV file, and then imported that CSV file into Gmail. Voila! All my contacts then sync'd fine. Only issue (if you want to call it that) is where there was one "phone only" acct, now there was two linked contacts.
I don't see any harm with this, but I'd love to hear what other people did to fix this. Did I take the long way around?
