Android contacts sync to gmail only working one way.

Working with an Android4 (Motorola) with service from Verizon.

I have added a gmail account to the phone and checked the option for contacts to sync.

None of the contacts (~2,000) on the phone sync to gmail.

If I open gmail and select contacts (none there to begin with) and add a contact... it shows up on the phone almost immediately. So sync is working from gmail to Android... but not the other way.

I followed the instructions here for setting up sync on Android: http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1738362

It is working from gmail to android....
but not android to gmail.

What am I missing?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for the reply.  I will also check what group the contacts I added at the gmail website are in once they sync to the Android.

Unfortunately, I won't have my hands on this phone again for a couple of days.  But will post back once I try your suggestions.

The issue was the group that the phone store transferred the contacts into.  Not sure if their transfer software allows them to select the destination group... but that sure would help.

Aside from that, you need to do a workaround
