hi guys, i've just got my new S3 and have been fiddling with it for the past few days.

one thing that annoys me most about this phone currently is the contact list. I have been searching on the forum how i do it but to no avail.

the thing is, u know how there are many contact list you can view and sync. I have added my hotmail,gmail and also yahoo mail on it. So i'm assuming that the phone contact will be the main contact that I will be using. but I have been trying to find out how can i sync my phone contact with my gmail that i have ported all my contacts from.
or is there any way i can sync all my contacts all the time?

after i gotten this phone i have added several new friend's number and i just realised that if i add it on my phone contact, i have to manually add it to my gmail account... :~(

I've seen that before but he dont say how can we do all the syncing.
basically what i'm trying to achieve/ask here is, is there a way for me to constantly sync my phone list to my gmail/hotmail list automatically? instead of creating a same contact in both phone and gmail contact and linking them together

if i store/edit/delete my contacts under gmail's contact list then yes it syncs automatically with gmail contact in cloud.
but if i were to edit my contact under the phone's contact list then it doesnt work

ahh...thanks for the info. let me just leave it for a while and see what happens.
Does that mean wherever i add new contacts, it will sync to all my contact list?
ie. if i add "abu" to my gmail, it will sync to my phone contact?

Bro, apologies but i'm still having problem. I have added several numbers yesterday on my phone contact list but it doesnt add to my gmail contact list.
i'm trying to use my gmail as my backup email to store all my contacts.

can anyone out there help me...

Bro Ramz,
Thanks so much for the assistance. If i'm not wrong, i think i know where you are coming from.
If i put my contact entries on my gmail contact list on my phone, then yes it will appear in cloud on my gmail.
But because in this S3, there are several contact list that you can use as your phone's contact list.
So for example, if i open my contacts>menu>contacts to display,
I have -All contacts, Phone, Sim, Whatsapp,Hotmail, Gmail, etc.
When i want to save a contact number, i have an option to save it under Phone, Sim, Hotmail, Gmail.
So if i save it in 'Phone', then it doesnt appear on my Gmail. If i save it under Gmail, then it doesnt appear on 'Phone'

I'm not sure how you guys manages your contact list but i find this very annoying. The only way i can think of to backup or 'sync' between Phone list and Gmail list is to export my phone list periodically and import it back to Gmail every now and then.

ya bro TamiyaOne is correct. So i have been using my phone storage as primary contact storage.
If you look at the attachment, one shows all the places i can place my contact and another shows all my accounts.
In there you can see there's a 'Phone' option whereby it only saves my contact on the phone itself and not anywhere else.

Bro TamiyaOne, does that mean that you disregard the 'Phone' option entirely and solely using Gmail as primary contact list? Is there any limitation to that?

yea. actually i just realised. if i save my contacts under Gmail's storage list. it will automatically save in phone. but if u save in phone. it doesnt go anywhere.

thank you all seniors! =D

i thought it could be real one and it could be a mod on the display. but considering that guy only used it for 1 month. how much can he play with it. furthermore he say he havent claim warranty cos no receipt, its already a suspicious statement.

and china goods tend to have high contrast display with their electronics.

just wanna check. how long does it take for the 'phone' app to show up after u press on the 'phone'?
the phone button to press when you want to make call.

mine takes about 2-3 seconds before it shows up..i thought it was rather laggy

im using 4.1.1. btw

im just curious cos other apps seem to come up rather fast compared to the 'phone' app

guys..just wanna check, this phone comes with integrated flash player right? why sometimes i open sites with flash it only shows a blue box?
