Contact Sync - Android > gmail

Question

Android

Good night, colleagues.

I'm just getting started with Android. I was very surprised by the impossibility of synchronizing contacts from the device's phone book to Gmail. Back - no problem: and mail, and calendar, and contacts. Even on w3bsit3-dns.com, all recommendations boil down to exporting to vcf and importing to Gmail manually.

I do not want to start holivars, but my old man 3g knew how to do it out of the box. Help to understand, please. Thank you.

Answer 1

Always synced via everdroid.com (was mobical.net before rebranding). I haven't seen anything better. The service allows you to connect, among other things, a google account for synchronizing contacts, a calendar, etc.
The point of work is to register, select your phone / tablet model (what you are synchronizing there) - then an SMS comes or you can manually set all the parameters.

Answer 2

I can't understand the question. And there are no question marks in the text.
What doesn't grow for you?
A) changes in GContacts do not go down to the body
B) changes in the body do not rise in GContacts C
) before throwing out the old device, you need to pull out the contacts and, in the future, plug them into GContacts
D) changes in GTalk are not reflected in the body
E) changes in the body are not reflected on GTalk
W) la-la-la-la (something new)

Answer 3

Need to upload contacts from your phone to Gmail or sync them all the time?
If the first, then everything is simple:
1. export contacts to CSV
2. import contacts back, specifying the storage not “Phone Contacts”, but “Gmail Account”
3. in the Addressbook settings, disables the display of contacts from the phone book (otherwise everything will be two) and set "by default" to save new contacts in your Gmail account.

Answer 4

You can set up synchronization via MS Exchange, take m.google.com as a server, use email as a login, etc. - should synchronize in both directions.
