When I put a new contact in google under their contacts, they are not appearing on my phone. I have it set to sync. I did a reboot as well. Suggestions?

What do you mean by putting "a new contact in google under their contacts"? Are you talking about adding a new contact into Gmail Contacts through a web browser?

Is the Gmail account that you're adding contacts to (presumably through a web interface) the same as the Gmail acccount that you're synchronizing with your phone?

If you select "Settings" on your phone, and then select "Acccounts & Sync":
1) Is Background data" checked?
2) Is "Auto-sync: checked?
3) Under Manage accounts", does it give the proper Gmail address and display "Sync is ON"?
4) If you select (by pressing) the Gmail account there, it takes you toa "Data & synchronization" screen. Is "Sync Contacts" checked?
5) From the "Data & synchronization" screen, if you press the "Settings" button on your phone, a "Sync now" pop up appears. If you hit it do you see the rotating synchronization icon next to "Sync Contacts"?
 
RazzMaTazz.....you were RIGHT! THanks!
Somehow the contacts sync was unchecked. Mail and calendar were. THANKS! I appreciate your help!
