Connecting Quickly With Your Contacts
As you build up your list of contacts on your phone, you can use
Quick Contact for Android to quickly chat, email, text message,
place a call, or to locate your contacts. Quick Contact for Android is
a special set of icons that you can use to quickly and easily connect
to a contact.
ᮣ
Open your Contacts list and touch the contact icon to the left
of the contact's name. A bubble will open with the available
options, displayed as icons. This is the Quick Contact bubble.
Depending on the contact information saved, the available
actions will be displayed above the name.
ᮣ
Touch a Quick Contact icon to communicate with the
contact.
Depending on the icon you've touched, a different application
will open. For example, the Google Maps icon will be
available if an address is saved in that contact entry. By
touching the Google Maps icon, the Google Maps application
will open and the address mapped in Google Maps.
If you add a shortcut for a contact to your Home screen, you will be
able to open Quick Contact for that contact.
