My main concern is to move my contacts from Nokia N95 8gb (Symbian) to Galaxy Note. I do not want to do Google sync as there's lot of contacts and email ids already in my Gmail account. I don't want to mix it up. I don't have an outlook account as well. Please tell me a way out.
Is there any solution for transferring messages, calendar and notes as well? I don't mind doing this manually but contacts are difficult. Thank you.
Contact is easiest
First open contacts in symbian, option mark all - copy to memory card
Now copy other/contacts folder from your memory card n put in memory card of android
Open contact in android - option(menu) - import/export - import from SD card - select multifiles from available option - and GO
there is google calender sync application available for Symbian, backed up, then download in android by sync
same way a application is available for SMS backup to gmail for android, i forget name right now

wow.. that was easy. i never knew there was an option called "copy to memory card" in symbian. very smooth and all details gets copied, not just the first number in a contact.
google calendar is a good option. although i thought of copying manually just this months' appointments and anniversaries. if you sync then even the old 3 or 4 year old entries get copied which is of no use.
i couldn't find any google sms backup. but i did find another excellent alternative. first follow the steps in this link:

after that use this application from the following link to complete the transfer
http://android.riteshsahu.com/apps/sms-backup-restore
it has all instructions. very useful if you collect huge amount of sms and don't want to let go.
copying notes, i guess normal Bluetooth transfers would do.
thanks doc
For calender since b4 android i switched to google, just reason is it remind you with sms too, so nothing like backup needed ne more. Once make entry on pc, n forget
I have the latest version of Kies and it offers me the option of bringing in stuff from my iPhone backup. It reads the backup OK when it lets me choose what to import, but it won't go any further. It states Cannot read the backup file information. Please select a valid backup file.
The backup is from a 4.2.1 iPhone 3G.
Anyone done this successfully? Any tips? Would like the SMS and photos if possible...

My friend did it recently and everything transferred except memos. Maybe you can try again by deselecting the memo or can do it one by one like first contacts, then messages and so on.

Also, you'll have to move your photos over manually, iTunes has to do the one-way street syncing of potentially copyrighted data. It does allow you to transfer iTunes Store purchases that haven't been moved to your new computer though.

how to transfer iPhone backup

At this time, you can transfer photos from iPhone to PC with iTunes/iCloud/iPhone Transfer. Besides, this transferring tool also help you transfer your iPhone contacts backup.
so now after my ongoing volume issue all the sudden my persistent ? Google search bar seems to partially disappear if almost totally randomly! f#(+ing annoying!!! I need to factory reset I guess.. I don't use backup to Google so cross that out. WHAT can I use to backup apps contacts pics music pics etc..? I've always had a rooted phone until now HATE IT SCREW VERIZON. THANKS GUYS
I've used Helium to back up app data and text messages. Some programs (such as whatsapp) allow you to manually save a backup to your internal storage as well. You can copy the backup to your PC with AirDroid or many other methods. You can also upload it to google drive or another cloud service.
Does the phone support the native Android backup and restore including sms, apps, etc
There are two types of backups available, one by Sony and one by Google. Not sure what you mean by "native Android".
Sony's backup and restore can backup SMS and apps in addition to contacts, call log, home screen settings, system settings, and calendar.
Google's backup includes app data, call logs, system settings, Google calendar, Google contacts, and SMS. The only option is to backup to Google Drive, unlike Sony's where you can choose to backup locally to the SD card, an external USB device, or to Sony's cloud service.
I should mention from past experience that I've had varying degrees of success in restoring from Sony's backup feature. Sometimes it'll hang at 50% indefinitely, sometimes only some options can be restored successfully, other times it works perfectly.
I recommend you use both services unless you have some particular beef with your data being stored on Google's servers.
I've tested both and Googles doesn't ever seem to back up SMS but all the other bits are fine (and restore fine).
Sony's definitely is a bit out of date I think as it has trouble backing up lots of the bits and even fails on app backups sometimes.
When you move files from the Google Photos Cloud to Private Folder (it is a feature of Google Photos), they are removed from the cloud and stored locally on phone
So where exactly? That path can be reached through root?
And files are encrypted or not?
Maybe someone investigate this before?
I would like to know as well.
I had to factory reset my phone, and Swift Backup got my secure folder from Google Photos back, so it must be saved anywhere in local.
