Synchronizing your smartphone data with your computer is an integral part of working with the Android operating system. It's not just copying all the files stored in the device's memory. Special programs allow you to transfer notes, contacts and even playlists from your phone to your computer.
Getting started
When you first get to know your Android smartphone, it is recommended that you create a Google account. Its use greatly facilitates the synchronization process. This service allows you to easily transfer notes, calendar and contacts without using third-party software.
Files
Of course, you can just transfer all the files you need to the memory card. But this will not save playlists and bookmarks. DoubleTwist is the best program to sync music, videos and photos to your phone. It imports playlists and automatically reformats any data into the extension you need for this phone. The program itself has an expressionless interface, but makes the synchronization process quite enjoyable.
If the user wants to fully synchronize the mail on the smartphone with the computer, then the Gmail client must be installed. This is because Android Gmail has many more features than any other email program. Otherwise, you will have to manually configure your mailbox using POP3, IMAP, or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, which is supported by almost all Android phones. Then you need to select the E-mail icon in the application selection menu and synchronize your data.
Contacts
After creating a Google account, the user can import their contacts. Access to them is obtained using a special application that is installed on a PC. For reverse synchronization, you can copy a CSV file to your smartphone. Another way to import contacts is to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Yahoo Mail, or Hotmail. For example, in the Yahoomail program, you must select the "Contacts" option, and then go to the "Tools" tab. After that, the contacts are exported via the Yahoo CSV service.
The calendar
All Android phones support Google Calendar and various online programs. Many smartphones also support Microsoft Exchange calendars. When using the calendar program, you need to synchronize through your Google account or using a WI-FI connection. Each of the programs of this type has its own synchronization algorithm, which is described in detail in the instructions or user manual.
Notes and Tasks
At the moment, there is no single way to sync notes on a smartphone with a PC. Mark / Space software developers promise that their Missing Sync software for Android will add a note synchronization feature in future releases.
