Hello,

Is there any differance between having the contacts in the phone vs in Gooble?... differance in performance or anything.

Thanks

if your contacts are on Google, that makes restoring and/or getting a new phone easier on you. that way you don't have to manually transfer contacts over everytime.

performance wise, you can sync it once, then turn sync, so that way it doesn't drain your battery.

Thanks... nice tip about saving battery life. When I went to change this sync preferance I saw other things like Sync Calendar, Sync Google+, Sync Instant Upload and Sync Internet... Do those drain the battery too?... I dont know what is the instant download and the Internet Sync... what do they do?.. Can I also shut them off?

always save them to Google...if you ever need to do a factory reset (data wipe) or switch phones your contacts will sync to the new phone without having to do anything...

Also makes it really easy to edit contacts- you can log in on a pc & manage your contacts more efficiently than you can on a phone IMHO.

I have not been able to do a Google sync since a couple weeks after I got the phone (a few months ago). I keep getting this error:

"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."

Except it's never back. I've not been able to find a solution.
