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 TouchPad), 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, Set up an online account in Contacts, 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 Online accounts available for webOS devices.

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 Online accounts available for webOS devices 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.
