Check the box that says "My Contacts" and unselect all others. (Keep in mind, ALL of your contacts from Gmail will now sync to your Droid. You may want to organize your Gmail contacts before doing this. Put only the contacts you want showing on your Droid in "My Contacts". Put the rest of your contacts in a group.)
Press Done
Return to the home screen
Press Menu
Press Settings
Press Accounts & Sync
Select your Gmail account
Press Menu
Press Sync Now
When you create a contact, your Droid will store the contact in "My Contacts." It will not store the contact in any group that you create. That is why "My Contacts" should only contain contacts that you want showing on your Droid.
Also, when you create a contact, it will now instantly appear in you Droid contact list.
Let us know if this doesnt work for you.

Re: NOT SAVING CONTACTS!!!
Before I read your email I did exactly that. I found that I had to sets of contacts, all contacts and my contacts so I merged the two, cleaned up the data base and sync. By the way, while I was trying to figure all this out I realized that I had an old gmail account that aparently the verizon tech uploaded my info to s...
Thanks for the info man. I was about to turn this in but I love it so it would have been difficult.

Re: NOT SAVING CONTACTS!!!
I am e-tarded or something so bare with me... bear with me... whatever. Okay, I cannot seem to follow your instructions. I am in my Contacts, and when I select the menu I do not see something that says Display Options. I see an option that says Display Group. And I can select Google. Am I not following instructions or ...
Okay let me get this straight:
Menu is the button on the far bottom left. The middle one is Home. And the one on the right is the Back key. Correct?

Re: NOT SAVING CONTACTS!!!
Purity,
That is strange. I enter through phone app, press contacts tab( which shows the list of contacts), then press the menu symbol( the one with four strait lines representing text), when the menu comes up from the bottom of the screen the 'display options' button is on bootm left. PRESS IT. (-if it aint there, i am confuse...
So now 'Display options menu comes up with several options like:
'only contacts with phones' and 'sort list by'
under that is "choose contacts to display"
I opened all tabs for contact sync  but I think it was just google tab that mattered.
It gives you options to display
"my Contacts"
then  a blank space with  a check box too
and "all other check boxes"
Check all boxes then all your new contacts you save should show up. it worked for me after being hella frustrated.
I think the selected "correct answer " is of limited usefulness.
try this too.
Be well.

Don't forget that the correct answer was given back in '09.  The menus and options have changed since then.  I am glad that you were able to update the answer for everyone.

Also, these are Droid instructions, not Back Flip.
