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: http://www.precentral.net/how-export-and-move-your-contacts-patch

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: 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.
