How exactly (or even roughly) do you do this?
Assuming you have an Android phone,
and have transferred contacts from the phone to your Google account,
could you tell me, please, what commands you gave on your phone
or on your Google account.

I don't know the literal meaning of the term "sync",
unless it is a synonym for "synchronization",
which I take to mean in this context
that the data in two places is made the same.

I'm talking about going in the opposite direction - from phone to Google.

Which contribution to this did you find relevant?
It seems to be a litany of people who are, or were, trying to do
more or less the same as me, but who failed in much the same way.

The only usefuly piece of information I saw there was that
"KDE 4.4 will contain a KContactManager",
which I cannot find on my KDE 4.7.4
--------------------------------
[tim at blanche ~]$ KContactManager
bash: KContactManager: command not found
[tim at blanche ~]$ locate KContactManager
[tim at blanche ~]$ 
--------------------------------

Non capito.
Non compris.
Ich verstehe nicht.
