[Q] Transferring contacts from iphone to razr? and orange swapables... - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Is there any software I can use (for mac) to transfer contacts onto the Razr i (Preferably from an iTunes backup)? I tried google syncing from iTunes but my contacts never get uploaded.
Also, I tried Orange Swappables, and when I try to open the Sky Sports, it says that my handset is not compatible. It doesn't use flash so I think Orange might be deliberately blocking the phone, as I can't think why else it would be incompatible. Is there way I could try get round this?
Thanks

[Q] Nook Color can't run certain apps that shouldn't require cell network, but do?

I don't know if this is a problem related to the recent patch for ROM Manager, but I upgraded that app and it didn't fix it, so...
Anyway, I have two apps giving me fits right now:
Amazon's new MP3 Cloud player for Android, and "Good (for Enterprise)", which is a corporate email reader.
Both apps complain that my cell network isn't enabled. Both apps should work find over WiFi, and they are communicating with their servers in some capacity, because they are able to tell the difference between a valid login and an invalid one. But once I enter a valid login, they both complain that I need to enable my cell network.
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm on WiFi, and I can connect to Amazon's web page fine. But when I login to the app using my amazon account, it complains about not being connected to a cell network. Why would it care if I'm on wifi?
Do you have the phone.apk telephony.apk and mms.apk renamed or removed by chance? The app could just be looking for those.
Ahhhhh, I see...
You mean like this thread?

I haven't done anything like this on purpose. I'm running the stock ROM with eclair and rooted via autonooter. Can I check for them using a file manager or ADB?
Ran into the same problem when I tried running the Yelp app on my Nook Color. Kept crashing on the install. After passing emails and logs back and forth with Yelp it turns out it crashing when it's looking for a phone, even though I'm on wifi.
He said they'd fix it in the next major release.

[Q] How to recover contacts from broken HTC HD7 without live ID ?

Hi,
My phone screen is broken, its all blank, i cant control or see whats going on the device.
I want to restore all my contacts from the phone although i dont have anything synced with my live.com email (checked there and no contacts)
Anyway i can do that ? maybe ssh to the device ? maybe the contacts are stored on the SD memory and i can somehow access and restore them ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Try connecting your phone to your pc and see if you can access your internal memory. My HD2 I used total comander and could access everything including my sim I believe can't remember. Total comander works on your pc I believe.lol now I'm not sure, but some kind of file explorer should work otherwise try taking your sim card out and putting it in another phone and see if your contacts are still there. HD7 doesn't utilize my contacts from tmo?
Should be auto synced unless you disengaged it.
Next phone dl lookout .... It's a great app and free. Hope this helps good luck dude.

The Sim did not contain all of my contacts. I will try the total commander and see if i can get anything.
Total Commander did not show my device.
I also followed a tutorial on how to make my phone show in my computer And now i can see my device as portable media player in my computer but i cant access it since the device is locked with a key and the screen is broken.
Any other ideas ? i really need help, i also have a Linux machine if that can provide some other methods you can think of.

[Q] WhatsApp can't detect the device

Hi all,
I just installed CM9 Alpha 2 on my TP (finally!) and so far I am loving it. However, I'm having issues with WhatsApp saying
Alert
We can't identify your device. Please turn off the phone, take out the battery, restart it and try it again.
Note: tablets are currently not supported.

However, some people with the Xoom tablet (and other tablets) can actually run WhatsApp. I dunno if they hacked the app or something but I've seen reports that it actually works on a tablet. I researched that they just downloaded the app directly from Whatsapp, not from the market. I've done that already and still have the problem.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks
For tablets without 3g function (wifi only) I have discovered the only way to use Whatsapp on such a device is as followed:
1. Grab your normal phone
2. Use Titanium Backup and Backup your current Whatsapp.apk and data
3. Install Whatsapp (download from the site f.e) on your tab but don't open the app yet.
4. Transfer backed up data to your tab in a (newly made) folder called TitaniumBackup
5. Open TB and scroll to Whatsapp and restore data.
6.Open Whatsapp now and you have Whatsapp running on your tab.
Make sure you have opened up a few conversations with the people you want chat with so those conversations are there.
Disadvantage is when you open Whatsapp on your phone again, it won't show the chats you have on your tab and vice versa.
Good luck

Wow it works.
EDIT: But my phone stops receiving Whatsapp messages anymore. You can only use one at a time. I was hoping that atleast both devices will receive messages.

I actually might have to register a different phone number with this one so I can use individually. But it was great that you showed me how to make it work
Go phone sim card FTW!

Yeah I know, had mentioned that in my post unfortunately
Good idea is indeed to buy a random SIM card, place it, register and open up all the chats with people you want to chat with and transfer data at least that number will be registered and rdy to use on your tab, good luck!

So, if you own an iPhone, are out of luck to get this running on the touchpad?
i think so cuz the titanium backup file carries our phone numbers and our stored chats....don't want you using our numbers lol but hey you could put ur sim into a friend's rooted android phone and register the whatsapp through there....and then take that backup file to your touchpad

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't have access to an android phone on my network (my gf has android on Verizon, I have att so that's a no go). I guess I'll have to wait for whatsapp to approve tablets.

[SOLVED] How to backup Notes (Stock i9000b 2.3.6, Notes app)?

Hi all. I upgraded to an HTC One and I need to get my Notes (over 200) to my new phone.
I have the regular "Notes" app that came with a stock 2.3.6 rom I upgraded it too, but I remember the old iterations also having that exact same "Notes" app. I was exporting them one by one to my PC. But figured there should be a better way. I know most backup programs simply don't backup notes.
I also know there's a way to do it via ES-File Explorer with root access, which my phone has. But I don't know what's next. I tried to search the forums and could find much of help.
Thank you very much in advance.

I'm not kidding and these are the proper forums. Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. The phone I need to save my notes from is a Samsung Galaxy S i9000b. What other forums should I be looking in, androidforums?
Unhelpful and plain jerky people like you are the only problem about being a newbie anywhere. It drives potentially valuable users away from nice and healthy online communities. Seen it quite a bit elsewhere.
Can some moderator or kind user have the amiability to at least point me in the direction where I could fool myself with a vague hope of getting any help, please?
I wouldn't be asking if I could on my own.

Thank you very much for your reply. I've been using Titanium Backup for quite a while as well, but mostly for uninstalling unneeded apps. I don't think the new Notes app is compatible with the old one, so I don't know of how much use would force-copying program's memory file (looks like a single one, unless I don't even know where to look) with Titanium Bk be.
I was thinking of maybe an app that converts those notes to some other or more usable format. Even better if it upgrades them to some other Notes program file. Uploading those notes online wherever could also work. Or perhaps a way to manage those from Kies. If I knew it would had come to this, I would had used any note app from the very beginning...

Try copying your notes to Colornote, sync the notes through, copy them back.

The copying the notes part is the one I'm trying to avoid. I did downloaded Colornote and it does looks really sweet.
But I checked and I have 211 notes to copy and would hate to have to do it one by one. So far, the best I've got is a smm file from Kies with all my notes in it. However, I haven't been able to find a single way to open this file in Windows, change its extension or how to export it to any app in Android.

Okay, I digged around settings and stuff for a bit, and under Settings -> Wireles and Network -> Synchronise there is an option to create a profile to sync memos (assumingly the stock memo app obviously). Haven't found this feature until now, so you could try play around with it?

Hey, that actually did helped! Didn't found that option you are telling me about, but found a way to Sync the Notes in the phone with those in Outlook via Samsung Kies (using latest Kies version, 2.5.3.13043_14).
Once that is done, it's pretty much problem solved.
What would come next is to put them online (can be done with Google or several other apps; I used Evernote, as my HTC came with it) and download them to the new phone. Anyone else needing additional details now, in a couple months, or a few years from now, please feel free to send me a PM.

HTC Sync Manager for the Mac

Hi all,
First thread and did not see anyone with a similar problem like I have.
I have a black HTC One 32GB. I am coming to this phone after 6 years with the iPhone...so please be gentle.
What I really liked about the iPhone was how uncluttered the software was. Before coming to the One, I was with the S4 and I HATED it. Crappy software IMHO. But the HTC One is a fresh Android experience. Excellent software and I am glad Apple is not the only company we can go to when we need premium software and hardware.
But one thing really bugs me though. The HTC Sync Manager on the Mac. I plan to stick to the Mac for some time an this means I plan to stick to iTunes to manage my music. But I have found the HTC Sync Manager to be really crappy to sync music to my phone. It crashes frequently and before it does this...it runs through the CPU like crazy...continually uses 100 - 140% CPU sending my Macbook's fans into a tizzy. Does anyone have the same problem? Solution?
Note that I have tried the other so called sync programs on the Play store...iSyncr, Double Twist...all of them are absolute crap. Never could get them working consistently. I want to commit to using the HTC Sync Manager.
My GF used isyncr and it worked great on her sgs3.
She uses Htc sync on her mac and it also works flawlessly.
Try uninstalling it and installing the file the comes with the phone when you plug it in. Good luck.

Mine does not run so well either with my Macbook Pro. Tried using the HTC sync and also had that good old spinning wheel popping up
This worked a bit better..
http://asia.cnet.com/this-guide-will-help-you-use-android-with-a-mac-62221359.htm
I also couldn't get any of the software crap to work except for airdroid with doubletwist. Doubletwist is a crappy app but when you install airdroid in your phone and use the WiFi syncing it works great. Most android mac software is crap and it's a shame. It would be ideal to have a premium phone work with a premium computer

The phone is absolutely fantastic...but over the last two weeks...I am getting really frustrated trying to get music to sync on my phone...I have not tried Google music manager because i dont like my music on the cloud and i find it cumbersome to sync music in this way...God..there is always something is it not! :laugh:
Why sync it? It's just as easy to copy the files into the filesystem. Android isnt like iPhone, you can get into all your files on a computer.

I like to 'sync' playlists and not 'copy' songs...there is a subtle difference here I guess. That is the reason I much prefer a syncing solution.
Coming to photos, I have a set of folders (nested) containing all the pictures I would like to see on my phone. But the sync manager disregards all the nested pictures and throws them into one large, disorganised folder. Anybody know of a workaround ? How are the Mac users syncing picures o the One ?
