pACE,

This process in my blog entry that you read is no longer necessary. As of Web OS 1.3.1 (released mid-November 2009), WebOS devices automatically limit Google contact syncing to records in \"My Contacts\". I removed the NuevaSync workaround from my phone back in November.

I remember in November that Pre owners had to remove and readd the Google Contacts account to their phone in order to get the contacts that were not in \"My Contacts\" to disappear from the phone.

If you remove the NuevaSync account and readd the Google account, it should work just fine for you too.

Easiest way that I've seen is using the patch mentioned in this article: <a href="http://www.precentral.net/how-export-and-move-you..." target="_blank">http://www.precentral.net/how-export-and-move-you...

Now of course, this assumes that you know how to install patches and homebrew apps on your Pre. Here's a write-up on how to get started: <a href="http://www.precentral.net/getting-started-preware" target="_blank">http://www.precentral.net/getting-started-preware

@Hallie You probably need to set your default contact account to your NuevaSync profile. You can do this under Preferences in the Contacts app on your Pre. Once you do that, newly created contacts on your Pre will be added to your Google Account.

If you have preexisting contacts on your Pre that are tied to another contacts account (like your Palm Profile), the Pre won't sync those back to Google. I'm not sure if you can reassign a contact from one Synergy profile to another.

@Aaron I'm glad it worked well for you!

@Deep. Before I got my Pre, I was already syncing my phone contacts to GMail through NuevaSync. I know a lot of people are doing the separate Google account thing, but I don't want to manage my contacts on a separate google account.

I want access to all my contacts whether I'm using my Pre or google.com apps such Google Voice, Google Calendar, or GMail.

Since Google is now doing Push GMail through their EAS setup, I have considered eliminating NuevaSync and going that route.

@susan That is strange indeed. The first thing I would do is double check your timezone settings in both Google Calendar and on your Pre. Your Pre should be pulling the time and timezone from the Sprint Network, but if I were you I would verify.

How to check/change the timezone on a Google Calendar:

It's very strange that web-based Google calendar shows one thing when accessed from your PC and another when you use the Pre web browser.

Let me know if you see any weird timezone stuff in your Google Calendar
