I've had a strange thing happen to my Contacts list and hope you guys can help. It's a little confusing but here goes: I noticed the last few contacts I had added on my phone weren't on my list when I looked for them. I thought maybe I had forgot to hit "save" - the little check mark you tap after putting in all the info - so entered one again and then as I was about to save it, I noticed the field was set to a secondary Gmail account I have on my phone, not my main Gmail name that I use. The second account is one I have for email subscriptions, commenting on boards like this online purchases, etc. so I don't get my main Gmail account cluttered with spam and newsletters.
The problem is, I can't see a way to move a New Contact field over to my main Google account. Usually, when it's a Google product on the phone, I can choose which account I'm logged on and move between them, as I still can with my Gmail, YouTube and Google+ apps. But with Contacts it's set to that secondary account and there doesn't seem to be a way to switch it that I can see.
Note: in Contacts settings, under "Contacts to Display" I can have it set to "All contacts" which then gives me both accounts and I can see those new contacts I've recently added, BUT that then gives me all the nonsense stuff from that secondary account which I don't want in my contacts list. So how do I get the New Contact field to be defaulted to my main Google account as it always has been until recently?
