Hmmm, importing contacts from Google seems to be the best way to get your contacts into the Might Text application. Actually one needs to keep a constantly updated contacts.csv file of their contacts for any email or messaging app. The comma separated values format (.csv) is actually a well known spreadsheet format and will open when clicked on a Windows computer with Excel or any good spreadsheet program you have. Many mail programs will have their own various save formats that suit them well, but .csv is widely accepted and although you may have to define some of the fields yourself such as "birthday" = [what field, pick the closest field available from the list.], it's use is widespread and universal. Past versions of Windows like XP use the .wab format (Windows Address Book) but will not work with other operating systems, software, or even versions of Windows.

Since Google is such a valuable resource and only a fool would operate an android phone without having a Google account, it is vital to use the Gmail contact list and keep it up to date. This has the additional bonus of allowing you to visit Google, sign in, then click on Gmail (Or find it in the 9x9 grey box grid on Google.), or just visit http://www.gmail.com. then in the top corner of Gmail is a down arrow. Click it and choose Contacts so that you can use and setup contacts. From there, use the top search box to find the contact you wish to edit, then edit the contact to add a picture, update email, phone, address, or notes, fields. Save contact. Or, click the "Add to my contacts" a new contact.

You can receive a call on your phone, click the picture in History, then Add to contacts to get a new entry. Then update your contact on a PC instead of trying to add all that data in a tiny phone window.

Since Gmail is a permanent email account and contact database that you can keep for life, you will never lose your contacts by using it. They can be used online with gmail or exported to PC as a .csv file for import into any email or messaging app that requires a contact list.

Under Settings you will find your account list, your Google account is THE most important account you will ever have on an Android device. SCREENSHOTS ATTACHED Tap your Google account, then the email address for it, and find your sync setup. Be sure that Contacts are checked. I check all of them.

Use your Google account to sync all of your important information and keep it up to date on both your android phone and the Google websites you frequently use such as gmail, contacts, and more. See screenshot #1 to find your Google account in Settings. Tap that account to reveal your Google account settings. See Screenshot #3. Tap your gmail email address and green synch symbol to reveal the elements to synch. See srceenshot #2. Now all of these elements will sync with Google every so many minutes or you can choose in menu to "Sync Now".

So now you can add people to your phone contacts by visiting Gmail/Contacts. Any changes you make on phone or PC will be synched to the other device. I also use Google Calendar because when I add a Dr. Appointment in 9 days, I make it on the PC browser to Google Calendar, date, time, address, notes, and reminders. I then get a text to remind me of the event and can even tap the address to launch Maps GPS navigation.

This post is getting WAY too long. Pictures and MMS I am not sure of. I send pictures occasionally with Go SMS Pro (free) and I know it works. Others can send me pictures and it works. So far as web or PC apps and text messages or pictures, I cannot tell you as I have not setup such a service and am bogged down with some PC jobs and must build an entire medical website from scratch for my best client. When I have the time for it, I will try to help. Others with more experience are welcome to join in. At least you are better off than before, Craig. Must run along. Thanks for stopping in! :laugh:
