Help Auto Syncing Contacts

[Burnt Toast]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. My phone recently broke and I cannot turn it back on. I am in the process of waiting for my new one to arrive in the mail. I know the majority of my contacts are synced to my Google account because I synced them manually. However, there were contacts I recently added that I did not get a chance to manually sync before my phone broke. Whenever I would save a contact, my phone would automatically say that it was syncing my contacts. Does this mean it was saving the new contact I had just added to my Google account? I asked someone at AT&T about this and they told me only if I was logged into Google at the time. Is this true? If so, what do they mean only if I was logged into Google at the time? Where would I be logged into Google?

I won't know for sure whether these recently added contacts were synced or not but I was hoping to get an answer before my phone arrives because it won't be here for another week or so and that's why I am posting here.

Thanks in advance.

Hey there

Welcome to Android Forums.

They mean to say that , You must be logged in from at least one of the google accounts , and auto sync been turned on.

Setting >Accounts >Google> and there are your added accounts .

According to me , I feel yeah your google account was added but i don't know about if auto sync was on or not.

For Example My Auto Sync is on > And My contacts were auto sysnced today at 10 AM +5:30 GMT.

Thanks

A Much better idea is:

Proceed to this link : https://contacts.google.com/preview/all

Log in your account and voila : You can see all your contacts that lie in your google account

Thanks for your reply. Why do you say auto sync might not have been turned on if my phone would say it was auto syncing my contacts after each time I added a new one? I would be more inclined to believe I wasn't logged into my Google account, but I could be wrong. Furthermore, what makes you think I was logged into my Google account?

Thanks for your reply. I already tried looking at my contacts online and only five of them show up, but I know this isn't correct. I had tried viewing my contacts online before I went to the AT&T store so when I arrived I mentioned to them the fact only five contacts show up online and they said this is normal and my contacts won't be visible until I get my new phone and go to transfer them.

This didn't make much sense to me but I know this to be the case because I had the same issue with my phone breaking six months ago and when I received my new phone (the one that is currently broken), I had no issues transferring my contacts. Weird, right? Is anyone else familiar with contacts not being visible online?

Hey , thanks for the reply !

I just checked my contacts online , and all those on my phone are being showed there .

If you are seeing only 5 of them in All contacts simply means there are no more contacts left.

I don't know about that problem , it goes into google Topic more than the android One .

Thanks
