Help with syncing contacts. Gmail, iCould, iPhone

[vols]

Hey all. Needing alittle assistance on making sure all my contacts are being backuped correctly. I'm a big Google app user and prefer backing up all contacts into my gmail address book. Under "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" I have my Google contact account setup, but when creating a new contact into my iPhone it doesn't appear into my gmail account. Is there a write up on how to correctly setup this?

Also, having a second backup of my contacts would be superb as well (Gmail and iCloud). My phone is logged into iCloud and Contacts is ON, but on iCloud.com, my address book is blank...

Gmail contacts are selected as default, also when turning "off" my gmail contacts, I only have the contacts I created on my iPhone (duh), but I would like all of those together, in one..

Thanks for the help!

You should transfer or send the contacts on-your-phone to your Google account. Also, you should turn off iCloud contacts as that only complicates matters...it will not backup your Google contacts. Sync to one service for the best results. If you want to back up your Google contacts do it on your computer every once in a while.
