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 Gmail icon will be available if an e-mail address is saved in that contact entry. By touching the Gmail icon, the Gmail application will open and you can view your messages.
If you add a shortcut for a contact to your Home screen, you will be able to open Quick Contact for that contact.

Important Connection Information
To avoid loss of data, DO NOT remove the USB cable, the
microSD card, or the battery while accessing or transferring files.
DO NOT use your computer to change or edit folder or file names on the microSD card, and do not attempt to transfer large amounts of data from the computer to the microSD card. Doing so may cause the microSD card to fail.
DO NOT turn off or restart your computer, or put it into standby mode, while using a mass storage device. Doing so will result in loss or damage of data.
The microSD card can only be mounted for use by either the
device or a connected computer. Prior to accessing the card via a different method, it must first be unmounted from its current device (phone or computer-USB).
IMPORTANT
The microSD card can only share a connection with one device at a time, either your device or your computer (via its USB connection), not both. You can not browse the contents of the card via your device if they are currently being browsed via your computer.
