Does anyone know a way to backup the contacts from a Samsung Mythic to PC? Samsung had the bright idea of removing this feature from the new versions of PC Studio. With the Impression, I could do it with older versions of the software, but the old software does not connect with the Mythic.
Has anyone successfully used a corded handsfree headset with the samsung mythic? I have heard that for both incoming/outgoing conversation, plus stereo music capability, that the micro usb port must be used. I purchased a stereo/microphone with a 3.5mm connector (the mythic has both a 3.5mm and micro usb port), but using the 3.5mm port, only the stereo function worked. neither voice incoming or outgoing worked. And you can't just go down to the at&t store and pick up a samsung handset, they all seem not to have them.
Anybody know what the little hole just to the left and below the volume button is on my Samsung Mythic? I asked at an at&t store,and big surprise,nobody could tell me.
I'm selling my WP7 phone tomorrow and getting a Galaxy S2 sunday when AT&T releases it and wondered if anyone here has come from WP7 to the GS2 and found a good way to back up the contacts for the transition.. I do use Google mail and calendar on WP7 for my email and appointments, are my contacts and numbers saved through Google?
How can i get my contacts off my old samsung sch-a930 and onto my new blackberry curve 8530? they swapped my contacts at the sprint store but then most of them disappeared later that evening. now i'm trying to get the contacts off my phone and i'm having trouble getting it to work with bitpim. i've done this several times in the past with the same phone. i updated to the newest version and the program sees my phone, but when i click on "get data from phone" nothing shows up at all under phonebook or recent calls. it sees all my ringtones though. anyone know what's wrong or how i can get these contacts off the phone?
Is there some way that I can backup the sim card contacts only to my PC?I have tried using Kies but although it can bring up my phone contacts, it will not bring up my sim card contacts.I am using ICS.
Every day I get this message at the top of the screen stating:
"CONTACTS BACKUP" - network connection failed.
When I click it to get rid, it appears again the next day ..... I've been into the Contacts Menu and looked at Import/Export and More/Settings but I don't really know what to cancel or untick.
I am looking for a backup app that will backup everything. I have city maps to go but it does not seem to backup the downloaded maps for some reason just the app.
Right now I have multipule contacts on my atrix that are "linked." Is there anyway to permanently consolidate all the linked contacts into one and export all my contacts as a csv file for outlook and gmail?
Love the phone - just got a really irritating problem. I've synced my phone with my gmail account - the My Contacts list has my key contact email addresses. Then I have multiple groups within gmail account relating to work emails etc, nearly 500 odd.
On the phone, when I click my 'Contacts' button, initially it showed all my phone number contacts, as well all google email contacts mixed with them. I corrected this by going to 'display options' to select 'display only contacts with phone numbers', so that I didn't have to trawl through random email addresses mixed with my proper phone contacts. Great, sorted.
But, when I go to compose a text message - if it is to one or two specific contacts it is fine...I just type their name and it comes up. If I want to scroll through all my phone contacts to send the same message to multiple contacts, big problem - I press that envelope button in the top right corner next to 'enter recipient', and it takes me to the Contacts list, but here it still shows ALL 600 odd contacts with phone contacts still mixed with google email contacts, which is impossible to scroll through and select multiple people to send a text message to....Does anyone know how to sort this out?!??!
Ok, so when I am in the compose message view I start typing a name to send a message to and the phone shows me all numbers for that contact, even if I deleted that number... for example say my contact Lewis upgrades and gets a new number, I edit his contact, deleting the old number and replacing it with the new. Then when I type LEW into the compose message "to" section it shows all numbers ever stored under that name, if you know what I mean..? So i am typing someones name getting multiple numbers even if they only have 1 number to there name.This also seems to be the case if someone registers a number to FB and I overwrite that number with a new number
Which app do I use to backup data on my phone? And does anyone know if it's possible to restore to a Galaxy SII?I have the Samsung Galaxy Vibrant SGH-T959. url...
my samsung galaxy s2 last weekend (big mistake). Unable to find so far, apps are out of the question as it was lost in Dublin so no data connece early but does anyone know if it would be possible to restore a pre-ICS backup to a Samsung Galaxy S3?Reason im asking is that I have a year to run on my contract, no phone insurance other than household so I think my best option is to buy out my contract.So rather that be stuck on a Samsung Galaxy S2 for two years I could get a Samsung Galaxy S3
How do I back up my apps?I don't understand how Kies work?
Kies doesn't have an option that says it backups apps? Gives me backup options of messages, phone contacts, settings etc but not apps? When I tell the program to back up everything. I just get ONE sbu file? Can I not back up apps individually?Even backed up on SD card is better then nothing?
I just tried to backup my phone on my PC using Kies. I excluded all the media files because I have them on my PC anyway, and not all that much spare space. However, then I started to get an error message that my PC was low on disk space.
I checked and my free hard drive space had gone from around 6GB to about 60 megs.
Does anyone know where the Kies backups are stored on my PC, so I can see if the backup was the culprit?
In anticipation of ICS I'm trying to backup my wife's SGSII. I'm using Kies as I don't know if there's any viable alternative.My problem is with backing up the Schedule (calendar?) component.All the other bits seem to backup ok.However, just selecting Schedule (on its own or with other parts) it takes ages 'preparing' and then gets to 98% before hanging and then failing due to some unexpected error.I'm on the latest version of Kies, and Windows 7 64bit (tried on two computers, both W7 64).
My screen on my SGS2 is shattered. Before I have it fixed, I'd like to backup everything via Kies (I haven't backed up in a while before my phone fell). My phone goes on when switched on, the soft buttons light up like usual - I'm taking this as signs of normal functioning. But I simply cannot seem to get my phone to talk to Kies via USB connection through my PC. Also, am I right in assuming that the 'touch' on the screen wont work if its cracked?
Is there any way I can backup my phone before I send it in to be repaired?
I spent ages yesterday individually connecting each phone contact to their fb account and then today all of a sudden they all just dissapeared again! I don't want every fb 'friend' to appear in my phonebook, so how on earth do I do this so that it's not going to delete them all each day. This phone won't defeat me, it has such good reviews so I am baffled why I am having problems.
I've just bought a Nokia E5-00 and would like to know if there's any possibility of transferring the text messages i had on the Samsung E900 to this new phone.
I'm consistently getting an error when trying to backup my call log in Kies (2.3.2.12054_20). I can backup everything else but the call log. I get this on 2 computers I have.
This is the error I get:
Data backup cannot proceed because of an unexpected error. Please connect the device and try backing up again.
Is "Root" required for the call log to be backed up? If so, how is this done on the S II?
Recently I changed phone from sony x8 to Samsung Galaxy min, but before I changed phone, I did backup for all contacts, apps, etc.The backup file from Sony X8 is .sbf file and cannot restore into Samsung Galaxy mini even though both phone are Android.or can I download software that runs .sbf file on my computer to get all contacts?
I've set my phone to auto backup my photos when I'm on my wi-fi and also plugged in and charging. It says my backup has failed with a little yield logo with an exclamation point. I clicked the manual refresh circle to the right of that message and it keeps failing. If I view my photos in the Gallery almost all of them have only the device card symbol, and only a few from when the phone was new have the colored logo on the duplicate photo.
I restored a backup using Nokia PC Suite which successfully backed up all data from my Nokia N96 phone. Everything restored EXCEPT my contacts. I can't find them anywhere and they were definitely backed up! Any idea how I can get them back? Have I lost all my numbers forever?
I Have a Nokia Lumia 900 and I'm also planning on buying another phone (not nokia), as I have all my contacts on my Nokia Lumia I want to get the all the contacts to my PC for later use.
had BB for 3 weeks now and gettign more and more confused unfortunately All I want to know is how I can, once in a while make a backup of my contacts and calendar an my desktop.
I emailed before and used 'synchronising' as a term,b ut am now wondering as seems more confusing with email needed etc.I used to have Palm Pilot with which you just connected to the cable, pressed a button and everything was in line on desktop and visible. Here, wehn i tried backup, it was in a program my desktop couldn't read, and the syncornising document I have received is even worse, not only does it not seem to work, but from the comments form others it seems a mess.
I didn't expect this to be such a big issue and am gettign reallt frustrated
I am trying to copy all my data from my torch to my bold siince the torch has to go for repairs, have tried deivce switch, normal backup and restore, backup through blackberry protect, everything else works fine except the copy of contacts, which obviously is the most improtant thing. when i try to restore the contacts through the DM, through the customize option where i can select what i want to restore (contacts, emails, etc) everything else is open to choose except the contacts, where i cant select the contacts as its marked in grey and a little piece of information below says this is only a read only data hence cant be copied.
