how can i back up my contacts and other device data from my Samsung s advance phone. Is there a software that I can use to transfer my files from my phone to PC?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I switched to the Samsung Fascinate from a previous non-smart phone, I transferred all of my contacts from the phone over. I think in the setup somewhere I chose to convert my contacts to Google contacts. That was really confusing at first, because I didn't know what it did, and didn't even remember I had done that until recently. I'd like to get the contacts back to phone contacts (not Google contacts) for multiple reasons, which I won't bother listing for now. So, does anyone know how to UN-convert or re-convert Google contacts back into phone contacts? I really don't want to have to recreate all of the phone contacts, because I've got a LOT of them. I would remove my Google account from the phone, but I worry that would remove all of my contacts completely, which wouldn't help me.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI read all of this stuff about Google syncing my contacts to my google account, but when I go try and look at them online, they aren't there. The only thing that happened was Gmail sent all of the email addresses I've ever sent an email to to my phone. That is something i dislike. I have tried backing up my contacts using Lookout too. Nothing there either. If Google is supposed to automatically sync with the contacts, why aren't any of them there?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created an activity that calls a service. This service receive an XML feed and parse the info. Each time I get the info for a new station i want to send the details (Name,Id,Location all as string) back to my main activity so it can load it inside a list view. When I run my code inside the main activity it works. When I move it to a service I cant send the data back. This is what I have tried. After getting the current station info from I do this: submit Station(namer, loc, ids, dis, types); then: private void submit Station(String names, String loca, String idss, String diss, String typess){Intent intent = new Intent(NEW_STATION_LISTING); intent.putExtra("Station Name",names); intent.putExtra("Sid", loca); intent.putExtra("StationLoc", idss); intent.putExtra("Distance", diss); intent.putExtra("Types", typess);send Broadcast(intent);}

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a message application so that on view 1 is displayed a list of messages and when you go to view 2 (subactivity) you can send a message. I want the program to work so that when you hit the android back button, you can go back to view 1 and see the list of messages including the new message. Right now only the old data is displayed, and I noticed that displayContent() is not called when going back which I assumed it would. Is there any way to specify that when the back button is hit, to call displayContent() again on the previous activity?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSorry ahead of time for the long post. Here's the deal. My wife got the update, but hasn't installed it yet, because she forgot her Gmail password which all of her contacts are synced through. We tried reseting it, but because the Verizion rep set up her account on her phone, he didn't set up a recovery email or secret question. We've tried to get Google to reset it, but it's been over a week, and they are still giving us the runaround.Does anyone know an app or some other way to export Gmail contacts on the Eris in 1.5 preferably to .csv format? Even if we could just save them to the phone instead of using Gmail, that would be a start. We really don't want to have to reenter all of them by hand.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a bit new to Android. What I need to do is send data back and forth between an activity and a service locally. The information sent is sensitive and must not be able to be picked up by other apps. This excludes using broadcast and the onBind() function if I understand things correctly? So the activity needs to send some string parameters to the service. Also it somehow needs to tell the service which activity started it so the service can reply to the correct class since many different activities will use this service.
Once the service has fetched the information via a http request it is suppose to send that data (just a long string which will later be parsed) back to the activity that started it. How do I go about doing this? Using static variables/functions is not an option since again many actives will be using this service. Sure it would be possible to use a static array to hold the classes but that just seems ugly. It's only possible to send simple variables (not objects) via the intent? There must be a better way to do this.
I recently updated my Xperia X10 from 1.6 to the new 2.1 Android OS. I'm on the Sony Ericsson page on my dashboard. I can see my 187 contacts that were backed up but I cannot get them to sync back with my phone which makes this phone completely useless.

Alright so I've learned a decent amount in the past few days (I'm new to rooting), and I'm pretty sure I want to experiment with a rom. Now the only thing I don't understand is how to back up apps. I've already made a nandroid back up of my current phone state, and I know how to back up contacts, but I cannot figure out how to back up apps. I've heard of something called google cloud, but I have no idea what it is, nor can I find anything on it.
