Import of CSV File to Android Device
What is a CSV File Format?
CSV (Comma Separated Values) format is a text file format used to store tabular data.
Each line in the CSV file corresponds to a row in the table. Within a line, fields are
separated by commas, where each field belongs to a one table’s column.
CSV files can be opened by a text editor application or by a spreadsheet application (like
MS Excel, for example).
One of the most frequently-used CSV file formats for storing contacts information is the
Google CSV format. The Google CSV format is used for importing your contacts into
various applications or into a Google account.
How Do I Import Contacts to an Android Device?
To transfer your contacts to a Motorola Android phone, open your Gmail account and
import the contacts file.

Be sure that your phone is connected via USB cable with the “Data connection” mode
(modem mode). Please refer to the Connection mode change instruction
• Install necessary device drivers
You should have Motorola handset drivers installed, which allows the Moto Contacts
Tool application to detect your phone. Usually, the drivers are installed automatically
when you first connect your device to your PC. If it didn’t happen, you can go to
http://www.motorola.com
