Android system contact synchronization with Gmail practice

Today I suddenly felt like syncing my contacts to Gmail, but I encountered some problems. After referring to the information provided online, I solved them. Below are some answers to frequently asked questions, which I hope will be helpful to everyone.

First, you need to understand your phone's contacts. There are three main parts to your phone's contacts:

On the SIM card, in the Gmail account, in the phone

After syncing, all contacts should appear in Gmail and be saved there. Therefore, the current issue is to save contacts from the SIM card or phone to the Gmail account. Here are the steps:

1. Go to Contacts, press the "Menu" button, select "Import/Export", select "Export to Memory Card", and select "Phone". Export the contacts to the memory card.

2. Go to Contacts, press the "Menu" button, select "Import/Export", select "Import from memory card", and then select "Google". Import the information you just exported into Google.

3. Go to Contacts, press the "Menu" button, select "View," check "Google" and "Automatically show Gmail contacts," and uncheck "Phone." This will now only show Gmail contacts in your Contacts list.

After completing the above steps, you can delete contacts from the SIM card and phone. Next, we'll set up synchronization:

Go to Settings, select "Accounts & Sync," then "Google," check "Sync Contacts," and finally select "Sync Now." Your phone's contacts will then be synced to your Gmail account.

In the future, when adding new contacts, select the contact type "Google". Timely syncing will then automatically sync the contacts to Gmail.
