Galaxy S6 :: NFC / Android Beam - How To Share Calendar And Contacts
May 2, 2015
I'm a fairly new s6 user (T-Mobile). I'm trying to share a calendar and contacts S6 to S6. I have nfc and android beam ON on both phones. I can share photos fine so something is working. I've tried several combinations of selecting the item to be shared and bringing the backs of the phones together. With contacts it seems to have shared the contact but it doesn't show up in the contacts on the receiving phone. I'm looking for a step by step process for doing this.
I'm struggling to get my boyfriend's ical invites (sent from his iPhone) on to my Samsung calendar - via Hotmail and Gmail.
I've just got the s6, before I had the s4, and we must have figured out some workaround as he'd email me on my Hotmail account, and I could "Preview" then "import" the event with success.
When he sends me invites now, they come through as ical invites, that I can 'accept', but it takes me to an icloud account - for which I don't know if I have any logins/details!! What icloud account am I accepting these invites into?!
Any apps that will translate the stupid ical events into something else, or does he need to do something differently on his side?
I recently updated my GS2 i9100 from GB to ICS (4.03) as provided by my carrier (Bell). I am able to pair the phone and media audio with my car stereo (Hyundai Sonata) however I get the message "Unfortunately bluetooth share has stopped" every time it tries to download my contacts to the car. This appears after a minute or so. This was not an issue with GB as it downloaded seamlessly and I was able to use the built in voice calling feature of my car with no problems.The first time the download was tried, the phone rebooted. Since then I have removed the pairing from the phone and car and started over, as well as removed all synced accounts from my contacts except those actually on the phone. Still no luck.
I am trying to share my android screen onto a remote PC... Teamviewer Quick Support is not working... however, I have seen videos where it does work [Remote control plugin does not install -- Teamviewer addon for LG did install]. I have a Nexus 5, running CM 12.1 nightly. The screencast icon appears in the notification bar,... i have enabled screencast over wifi setting.
I have SGS2 Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) updated via kies.
In the contacts app, Im sure there used to be a way where by if you were syncing your facebook account, status updates and media would appear in the contact (In Contacts). This doesnt appear to be the case anymore.
My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud.Until recently, we received email notifications anytime either of us made changes to exisiting calendar events or added new items to the calendar. Does anyone know why these email notifications stopped?
Let's face it: we all have to deal with those automated call systems from time to time. They can be particularly annoying if they block you from connecting directly to the person you are tying to get by entering an extension number.
You can create a contact and enter in the number. Next press Sym and tap "Wait(,)" Two is the recommended amount. After pasting, type the extension. Tadah! Now you have attached an extension to a phone number.
My girlfriend is coming up as something like 20 contacts in the Contacts app on my Samsung S5 with Android 5.0. Even if I link her contacts together, they just get automatically created again. Same think if I delete them. She has several email addresses and we share several apps together such as traffic apps, Facebook, WhatsAPP Skype, etc etc. There is a separate conact for each one. I've tried setting the "Contact to Show" setting to Device (only) but they all still show up so they must be "Device" contacts. I've also got the Contact Setting option checked for "Show only contacts with phone". Even then all her email only and app only contacts show up.
Well, got my S6 yesterday and it seems that samsung has discontinued Kies for S6. Any way to transfer contacts and calendar from a PC Outlook 2010? This is not an exchange or outlook.com account. Just looking to transfer contacts and calendar from Outlook directly. Samsung suggests using Smart Switch, but that is one time deal and when contacts/calendar is coming from another cell phone. There used to be all kinds of Sync programs, but they seem to be useless also.
syncing of outlook 2003 with the SGS2.I am using Outlook 2003 and am about to get a SGS2 and need to sync the contacts and calendar is there a way of doing this directly from PC to phone without Google or servers and stuff?
I am looking to sync my S5 with my outlook 2010 calendar and contacts. Don't care about the email (frankly I don't want to be able to reached at all times for work requests). I think the software that I want to use is Kies. I have a few concerns that I want to clear up before using.
1 - I do not want my phone to overwrite what is on the computer. That would be a disaster. How do I prevent this from happening?
2 - I have many different calendars on my outlook and only want to sync one of them. How can I do this?
3 - What else should I watch out for before syncing. I want to avoid any hiccups if at all possible. Losing the work calendar would result in some mass chaos for a few weeks.
When trying to beam photos from my iPhone to my iPad the iPhone can't find my iPad. I have Bluetooth turned on on both and they are both connected to the same wifi connection. How do I get my iPhone to find my iPad? I don't understand what's wrong.
My Nokia N9 is Skype ready - I can see my contacts, I can chat with them - but I cannot share video stream with them. I have tried to go to an Options or Setup menu - there is no such menu! Skype is even not listed in the application list. Does it mean it is just a "client" only? Can I get full Skype on my N9?
I need help. I just upgrade my os to OS6 and in the process lost my license to Beamreader (BR). BR now wants me to register my license again or buy again. Is there a way to retrieve this ? I have checked past emails from BB App world and SLG Mobile (provider of BR) but only have the purchase receipt.
I have PhoneShare on my Series 9 laptop and installed the app on my SGS2. Fantastic tool! then I upgraded to ice cream sandwich and now I can't connect either by scanningthe QR or using the previous successful connection.The PC version generates the barcode, the phone reads it successfully and reads "preparing phoneshare", I get a connection PC reads "connecting to smartphone" then "retrieving data from address book" appears on PC app, finally "poneshare ready" on the PC. The connection is not established though and the icons on the PC remained greyed out. The message on the phone app remains "preparing phoneshare" and after 10-20 minutes hangs.I have reinstalled the PC and phone apps to no avail. Is anyone else getting this? Is it a known/unrecognised bug on ICS?
Can you use Allshare using only your phone's portable wifi hotspot?I've learned that I can stream videos from my SG2 to my PS3 via Allshare.The only broadband I have is through my mobile data plan with 3 (all you can eat data).Trying to use Allshare, I was told to use a wifi network. I just got rid of my Virgin broadband on the basis of my Mobile providing my broadband (and a damned sight better too).
When sharing a photo by clicking on the share icon I have a couple dozen choices. Can I adjust this somewhere so it only shows me the few that I actually use?
When I click on a photo in gallery, it gives me several options, one of which is share via email. When I choose this the email opens and I can send, but the recipient, just get pages of code not the photo. If I create an email I can attach the photo and it sends. I also get this when i try to forward some photos i receive via email, they just receive code.
Since the upgrade to ver. 4.1.83, the calendar widget on the home screen just shows 31 and says calendar. It used to sync w/ google calendar and show the current date and upcoming scheduled events. Is it just me or is this a general issue which get addressed in a future update?
