The Nokia X does not come with Google services built-in. One of the implications of this is that user are unable to synchronise their Google Contacts to the phone. However, there is an app for that. CardDAV-Sync is a CardDAV client for Android to synchronize contacts. Installing it on the Nokia X, it integrates seamlessly with the default contacts app, People.
Download it from a 3rd party store. We recommend 1Mobile Market (click to download). After installation of the app, launch it and add your Google Contacts details.
- Server Name: m.google.com
- Username: your Google account username
- Password: your Google account password
Once setup is completed, go to People (that’s the contacts app on X), and configure it to display CardDAV contacts. Like this:
You should see your Google contacts populate your People app. Enjoy!
PS: Do note that the app is still in beta. If you run into issues, sending a detailed description of the problem to the developer will help.
Say thanks to Soji Ogunnaike for the tip:
So if you have purchased the new Nokia X and need to sync your Google contacts, install the free CardDAV app here

Thanks for the tip. Jah bless!
An alternative (depending on how many contacts you have) is to install “Contacts Transfer” (available in the Store and/or preinstalled) and Bluetooth your contacts from your old device to the Nokia X.
Typed the following before seeing your comment:
The new update (1.1.2.2) to the Nokia X allows you to transfer all your contacts (via the aptly named “Contacts Transfer” app) from another phone via Bluetooth. It was a breeze when I did it. Less than 6 minutes to transfer about 1500 contacts.
Thanks alot bro
