Merging contacts from different accounts

[MyWorld]

The problem is basic, I would like to merge the contacts from two different gmail accounts on my Android phone.

I added the two accounts to my phone but they are not merged, if I remove the one account the contacts with it is also removed. Is there a way to merge the contacts from two different gmail accounts on Android?

As far as I know, it depends on which phone and ROM you have. All I know is that, HTC sense combines contacts by default, but none of the others can do this, so unless you have an HTC phone, I dont think this is possible

From vague memory(phone's in for repair): go to one of the contacts
press the menu/options button
Should have an option to merge contact
Select the other contact and bob's your uncle

I do not need to merge two identical contacts, I need to merge two different set of contacts, merge two phone books as one if you will.

Ah a different take on the topic

Your problem seems to be more related to gmail contact lists than android lists - a disparate topic

Export your contact list from the secondary account to the primary,and use either the Intelligent merge or manually merge the contact list,re-add it to the android at which point all the details will be combined

I found a way to merge the two Google accounts, but it cannot yet sync in real time, or at least I have not found a way yet:

so you want the merging to be on a continous basis?

Yes, sorry for the confusion.

At first when I typed the thread out I thought that a simple merge would be enough, but as I went through the proses described above I thought to myself:
"Hand on, does this mean I have to do this again if I add a contact to either phone?!"

The problem extends further, if I correct the contacts like I like it on one phone, merging becomes a mess.

What I really need is a way to sync the contacts of two Google accounts.
