Maybe I'm an idiot, and forgive me if I'm asking a dumb question, but this feels like something that should be easy but I can't figure it out.
This is my first HTC. On every other phone dating all the way back to my Galaxy S2, when I created a contact, it would ask if I wanted to save it on my phone or as a Google contact (or automatically save it to whichever of those two I had told it to do by default.) Saving it as a Google contact automatically synced it to my Google account.
When I set up my HTC 10, it downloaded all of my Google contacts. Easy!
Tonight, when somebody texted me they got a new number, I went to change it on a contact that already exists; it asked which contact I wanted to edit: their phone contact or their Google contact. Changing their Google contact didn't update the phone contact.
So then I just deleted his contact, and created it anew; it only asks if I want to create it on the phone or on the SIM card, with no Google contact option. Furthermore, creating it on the phone doesn't sync it to Google, nor does creating it on Google sync it to the phone.
Is there something I'm missing here? Is this some HTC specific thing where it just doesn't do Google contacts? Any help on this would be much, much appreciated; I'd really only rather maintain the Google contacts and not have to micromanage contact lists or use a third party syncing app (but I guess I will if it comes to it).
