Contacts
Contacts give you quick and easy access to the people you want to reach. When you first time turn on your
phone and sign into your Google Account, any existing Google contacts are downloaded to your phone.
After that, your contacts are synchronized: any changes you make to your contacts on the phone or the
web are made in both places the next time you sync. Contacts from Exchange ActiveSync accounts are also
synced in this way.
Information about your contacts is shared with other applications, such a Gmail, Google Talk, Messaging,
Gallery (for sharing photos and videos) and so on.
If you have more than one account with contact information, Contacts joins duplicates into a single entry.
You can also manage that process manually.
Opening and searching your contacts
Here you can add, view and communicate with your friends and acquaintances.
Touch the Contacts icon on the Home screen or in the Launcher
among all applications .
All of your contacts are displayed alphabetically in a scrolling list. Each
contact is followed by the default phone number.
You can drag the list up or down to scroll it or slide your finger up or
down to scroll quickly. Either way, a tab briefly appears to the right of
the list, which you can drag up and down to scroll very quickly, while
displaying the letter of the alphabet for the contacts you’re scrolling
past.
You can search for a contact by name. Search for a contact
Tab in the Search box and start entering the name of the contact you’re
searching for. As you type contacts with matching names appear below
the search box.
Note: If you have a new phone and haven’t added any contacts yet, Contacts display a message with hints
on how to start adding contacts to your phone.
