If you’ve ever owned an Android device and recently switched to an iPhone or iPad, you may notice that your contacts don’t sync with Gmail as they did with your Droid. Â Bummer, I know.
What this means is that when you get a new device, or if you were to break your old one, you may lose contacts (as I did while going from Droid to iPhone).
The good news is that there is a quick way to get your iPhone or iPad to sync your Mail, Calendar AND Contacts like your Droid did, or as though you had Microsoft Exchange.
 Step 1
Tap the Settings icon on your iOS device and then tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars.”
Step 2
Under Accounts, tap “Add Account..”, then select “Microsoft Exchange” from the list.
Step 3
Enter your email login information: Email, Leave “Domain” blank, username is just your email address before the “@gmail.com”, password, and description. Â Then tap “Save.”
Step 4
On the same page, a field “Server” should appear. Â Enter “m.google.com” (no quotes, of course). Â Tap Save and you should get to the toggle screen that allows you to sync Mail, Contacts, and Calendars with your i-Device.
Closing Thoughts
Considering that Exchange will set you back a minimum of $708 plus hardware. Â This is a nice little hack.
