How do I save contacts to my Android phone, not my gmail account?

Q. I just had to factory reset my Android phone. Prior to resetting the phone, I had the ability to choose to save contacts to the phone as opposed to syncing them to my gmail account.

Since resetting the phone and adding my gmail account I haven't had the option to save to my phone. How do I make my phone give me the option to save to the phone so I don't have to save to my Gmail account?

Thanks for your help.

A. you need to remove gmail and auto background data synch option from setting and to make it easier download couple of free wares from android market like backup directly to phone or sd card and for further control u need to root your device

Will using the factory data reset on my android eliminate my data plan?

Q. It may sound like a lame question, so please forgive my stupidity... But if I click the factory reset option on my android, will it get rid of the data plan on my phone such as unlimited texting and unlimited calling. Anyone, please let me know. Thank you.
And if it helps, I had to create an account for my phone before I was able to have full access to it. And the phone I have is a MOTOBLUR.

A. No, it shouldn't! :O Your phone is connected to the account that you have with whoever your network is, i.e. AT&T, Rogers, Virgin Mobile, O2, Vodafone, etc., depending on where you are. That won't be affected if you do a factory reset! You're basically just restoring your phone to factory settings; like to how it was like when it came out of the box. :)

how to revert an android phone from factory reset?

Q. My Motorola Atrix need a factory reset to install an update, unfortunately i was unable to receive my update and I erased my system data. So all my apps are gone and I am screwed. My device wasn't rooted, I think I am going to kill myself if this doesn't get resolved.

A. Any apps you downloaded should still be in your My Apps list, so you can re-download them at no charge. I had the same issue and that's what I was able to do.

BTW, you shouldn't need to do a factory reset to install an update. That sounds problematic...

Hopefully, you stored any pics and such to your SD card.
