Stay Connected with your Friends..
No fear of losing your contacts any more, you are smarter than
your smart phone. It is very easy to set up your android smart phone to keep
updating your contact details. The trick is save your contacts in in your Gmail
account. You sync your mobile with that account. That’s all..
Here are steps to follow to save your contacts using your
Android phone:
- Open Contacts
- Hit menu > Import/Export
- Export to SD card, then hit OK to confirm.
After a few moments, your data will be exported.
Next, you delete all contacts, to prevent confusion
- In Contacts, hit menu > delete > Select All > delete.
(If you’re concerned about deleting your contacts before re-importing them,
you can always import them, and then resolve the duplicates manually)
STEP: 2
Import all the contacts to your Google account
- Hit Import/Export again
- Select Import from SD Card
- Select Save contact to… (your Google account) NOT phone
After a few moments, your data will be re-imported, and synced with your
Google account online. Note that it may take up to a few minutes for the
contacts to start appearing in your Google account.
If you mistakenly import multiple times, you may end up with duplicates in
your online Google account. To fix this, simply open more > Find and
Merge duplicates from your Contact manager.
You should now have all of your
contacts stored on your Google account. Every device associated with that
account will have access to those contacts.
