Contacts

How do I add names and other info into Contacts?
You have a few options for getting info into Contacts.
Connect to an online address book:
online account that works with the HP Synergy feature (see
4G), for example, Google or Microsoft Exchange, you can set up Contacts
on your smartphone to synchronize and display contacts that you store in
the online address book. After you set up the connection to the online
address book, contacts you enter online show up automatically in Contacts,
and contacts you enter on your smartphone sync to the online account,
provided the account allows writing from the smartphone to the online
account.
You can set up your contacts accounts in either of these locations.
• The Accounts app (see Use the Accounts application to set up an online
account)
• The Contacts app (see Use Contacts for the first time
Contacts)
The Synergy feature provides another advantage: During the same process
you go through to set up a contacts account, you also set up the same
account for all other applications that can display data from that account.
For details on how Synergy works for the current list of online accounts, see

For example, suppose you want to set up your Google contacts account on
your smartphone. The last step in setup is to select all the other apps that
you want to receive data from your Google account (besides Contacts, you
can include Messaging, Calendar, and Email). After setup is complete, your
smartphone begins to download your contacts and all data for all other apps
you selected for synchronization.
