Samsung in there infinite wisdom have removed this feature , hopefully it will be addressed in a firmware update if that's possible, fingers crossed. I actually thought that I was doing something wrong when the contacts did not automatically sync. If anyone knows of a workaround please jump in.

Funny yours didnt as my contacts sync straight away as soon as i logged nto gmail account. Samsung cant have taken the feature out.
Not sure what you actually mean by that reply, do you not believe me? I can assure you my contacts were synced straight away!
sorry for the confusion knowlege1973, I definitely believe you. I did not realise that you were also referring to the samsung galaxy s. I can sync fine with my other phone but for some reason it does not automatically update the contacts for me on the samsung. I am In the Uk so maybe it has something to do with it if you perhaps are not, just a thought as sometimes the phones are not exactly the same. I also can sync it just fine vice versa i.e. if I change a contact in gmail via my laptop it will automatically change on the phone. I'd be surprised if I had something set wrong but I'm not discounting it either. Hope someone on here can shed some light on the situation.

In your settings, do you have something called "Accounts and sync"?
It should be a core component of the system and not a special samsung thing.
If you dont, I would reccomend doing a master reset.
If that doesnt work then contact samsung/ or your wireless carrier.
So you're saying that you can sync contacts to your phone from your Gmail account and that the problem is when you add a new contact to your phone or make a change it doesn't sync the change back to Gmail? Just trying to understand so that we can better figure out the problem and if there might be a fix.
Looking around it seems the problem is that Android will only upload contacts that are labelled as 'Google' in your phonebook (as opposed to Sim or Phone) Try creating a few new contacts, label them as Google and try syncing to see if they appear in your gmail account.
i don't see any option like that anywhere
I have similar issues. Never had any problem with my Nexus one. Why oh why did Samsung have to meddle with the stock dialer / contacts apps? Wish I had more time to investigate rooting and installing the standard 2.1 apk. I could easily live without video calls.
like previously mentioned, that's the problem - the option isn't there
