120 Chapter 8 : Contacts, Calendar, and other personal information
Manually synchronize Contacts with your online accounts
If you want to get contacts from an online account on your phone
immediately, or upload contacts from your phone to the online account, you
can do a manual sync. This synchronizes Contacts with all the accounts you
have set up on your phone, and it syncs all other apps associated with all
online accounts that you selected for synchronization.
1 Open Contacts .
2 Open the application menu and tap Preferences & Accounts.
3 Ta p Sync Now.
Delete an online account from Contacts
If you synchronize contacts with an online account, deleting the account
from Contacts stops synchronization of contacts only—if you also sync email
or calendar events with that online account, those continue to synchronize.
Deleting the account from Contacts also deletes the associated contact
entries from your phone only. The entries are not deleted from the online
account.
1 Open Contacts .
2 Open the application menu and tap Preferences & Accounts.
3 Tap the account name.
4 Ta p Remove Account and tap Remove Contact Account.
To restart synchronization with an account you have deleted from Contacts:
Open Accounts , tap the account name, and tap Off beside Contacts to
turn synchronization on.
Send contacts
You can send all contacts to a hands-free car kit (with Bluetooth), or send a
contact using multimedia messaging (MMS) or email.
To send all contacts to a car kit, first ensure that your car kit can be detected
by your phone (see Connect with a paired device). Basic contact
information, such as first name, last name and phone number are always
sent to all carkits. If a carkit requests it, other contact information may be
sent, such as address, company name, email address, URL, notes, and
images.
Linked contacts are sent to a car kit as a single contact. For example, if you
have one phone number in your Google contacts for Emily Weeks, and
another in your Exchange contacts, and you have linked them on your
phone, a single Emily Weeks contact with two phone numbers is sent to the
car kit.
1 Open Contacts .
2 Open the application menu and tap Send All To Car Kit.
If a Bluetooth device is detected, all contacts are sent.
To send one contact:
1 Open Contacts , and tap a contact.
2 Open the application menu and tap Send Contact.
3 Tap one of the following:
Send To Car Kit: Your Bluetooth device needs to be on and detected.
Send Via MMS: Messaging opens.
Send Via Email: Email opens.
