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: If you have an address book in an
online account that works with the HP Synergy feature (see Your HP XXX),
for example, Google or Microsoft Exchange, you can set up Contacts on
your device 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 device sync to the online
account, provided the account allows writing from the device 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 and Customize
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 device. 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, Email, and Documents). After
setup is complete, your device begins to download your contacts and all
data for all other apps you selected for synchronization.
NOTE In the Launcher, tap Accounts and then tap Add Account to see the
current list of online accounts you can set up on your device and from which you
can access contact info. See to see how major online accounts synchronize
data between the web-based account and your device.
Enter a contact directly in Contacts: See Create a contact for instructions.
You can assign the contact to one of your online address books—if you
do, it synchronizes with the online address book. Or you can create the
contact in your HP webOS Account, which means it shows up on your
device only. HP webOS Account contacts are included in the daily
backup of your HP webOS Account information, so you can restore them
if they are accidentally erased.
NOTE With some online accounts, such as Facebook or Yahoo!, data you enter
on your device does not sync to the online account.
