Anyway to change a contact from "Phone" to "Google"?

[tracerit]

I've been trying to find a way to change a contact I originally chose as "Phone" to "Google". It seems that only "Google" type contacts are synced. My temporary workaround was to create a new contact for that person. But just wondering if there is an easier method in the future.

I'd like to know as well I just made a new contact the few times it happened.

yea me too. the only thing i figured out was to make all new contacts for everyone. which took FOREVER

another method to mass change everything is to export all your android phone contacts to a file and import it to gmail to make them Google contacts and then sync again.

I fought this very issue myself...

...and while it's not an exact match to your question, I think syncing in this way will solve your issue.
