 Maybe it's visible on your Google profile. AFAIK it can be managed from
 there. Don't use my phone with it but that's how the Google-Chrome Sync
 works.

Well, they say (Google) that when you sync your contacts, you sync your
contacts, and the only logical proof that syncing has indeed occurred
would and could only be found in your contacts (gmail contacts, for
instance, and, of course, the contacts on your phone, because it's a
two-way street, I do believe, otherwise the word sync would be a
misnomer).

Now what this has to do with a Google profile defies my imagination, but
perhaps it's my comprehension that's faulty.

If you log into your GMail acct, go to your contacts and look for a group
called Starred on Android, this is the group that gets sync'd to your
device and back to GMail. All of your contacts on your phone will get put
into this group, GMail will also attempt to guess what contacts you use
the most and star them for you as well. I have to go back into that group
and un-star quite a few contacts because GMail has needlessly starred
them for no good/logical reason.

Thank you.  It's nice to hear from someone who knows what they're
talking about from time to time.  I hope the OP is listening, although
why and how he couldn't have figured the above out for himself will
remain one of those impenetrable mysteries that will defy human
intelligence for centuries to come.

Your gmail contacts should be updated with the information from your
phone, and vice-versa; that's the way I understand the thing anyway (I
don't have a mobile phone and have never used the service).
