Why traditional way? Modern way is easier and faster, I think safer too.From gmail to iOS without the cloud? I wanna try the traditional way, even if its more time consuming!
Traditional way i wouldnt recon to be by writing down. I would thing of geting an export fiile from gmail, transfer that file into the iphone and import the contacts from that file. Isnt that possible?Why traditional way? Modern way is easier and faster, I think safer too.
[doublepost=1470561589][/doublepost]If you want traditional way, just write down one by one and add it to your new iPhone. Easiest and most straightforward solution.
Sign into gmail in the mail contacts calendars section in settings and toggle contacts on. It's as simple as thatSorry im lost. Can we do the whole thing from the beginning?
Also there is no Gmail option at the Mail,Contacts,Calendar
It is sorted the way you want it to be. Has nothing to do with android or windows.Ok got it! The contacts i see now on the phone, where are they stored, on the iPhone? Is it best to put them on the Cloud now? Also their sorting is funny, not like it was on the Android phone!
In mail contacts and calendars the sort options can be set as you wish.Ok say for eg. that i want my contacts to be sorted by last name, what do i do?
Also can these contacts be transfered to the cloud rather than gmail?
If you have other iOS devices then yeah. If not then not reallyAre there any upsides to having my contacts on the cloud?
Or if you are restoring at some point (and perhaps not using a backup). Or want to access or edit contacts from a computer for some reason.If you have other iOS devices then yeah. If not then not really
Now you lost me on those remarks. Can you explain further and more extensive please so i understand? (sorry )Or if you are restoring at some point (and perhaps not using a backup). Or want to access or edit contacts from a computer for some reason.
Do you not want to have your contacts in iCloud? I sync mine with iCloud. That way if I have to set my phone back up after a restore or something, all my contacts get restored automatically.From gmail to iOS without the cloud? I wanna try the traditional way, even if its more time consuming!
I don't understand your question.Ok ive created a new account, enabled the gmail account and got my contacts. If i close it down i suppose i will loose the contacts, right? How can i save them on the phone, and is it better to have them on the phone rather than the cloud or gmail?
They are in sync existing in both places, Google and your phone.Just a sec, first things first Right ive synced with gmail and i see my contacts. Those contacts, where are they located? Are they on my phone or not? If i cut down wi-fi (that how i got internet, dont have mobile networking) will they be lost?
