Just installed first non HTC based ROM (CM10). It doesn't ask to sign in with gmail and then doesn't sync contacts and apps. I tried putting in my gmail account where it asked for my email and yet no contacts or apps.
Where, and why can i sync all my stuff up at?

I'm looking for a way (ANY WAY) to move apps or at least their data to SD card on cyanogenmod 10.1 and to be specific on a samsung galaxy note 2 ..
I have tried DirectoryBind but it seems to be not working on CM10.1 (it works on touchwiz perfectly)
Also I tried swapping memories (internal to external and vice versa) , it worked but installing apps from external sources will not work, or apps in /storage/emulated/0/... Will not be able to installed , but if they are on /storage/sdcard1 they will be able to be installed.. That still a problem ..
So any way of moving apps to SD on CM10.1 ?
I've got a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7' with CM10.1 installed but I can't move apps to sd card.
How does that work? There's not even a button there for moving it..
Android: 4.2.1
On the ROM update details, its states
Warning!
* Please note that this upgrade will erase any data stored on the phone. We recommend that you back up all your data before performing this upgrade.
what will be lost, contacts? photos? apps installed? im guessing SD card data will be unaffected.
My wife's phone - which is a ZTE Blade running 2.2 - is losing it's favorites in the contacts manager each time it syncs to Google Contacts.
I looked up her Google Contacts [URL] and there is no "Starred in Android" group, as it should be. I think it should be automatically created when she fovorites a contac in her phone. But instead, it deletes the starring of the contacts in the phone each time it syncs.
in my account settings I have FB synced to include in my contacts. A few weeks ago though I looked in my contacts and just my original added contacts showed up, no FB contacts. I can't even sync my existing contacts to their FB account.
I think I read somewhere that there is some sort of dispute maybe with Google and FB but I could be completely wrong!
When I look Accounts and sync settings on my AT&T Note, is shows my Google account in red. Under the Google account Contacts shows the ! and states Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly. It's been a very long time.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a Droid maxx which I use for personal and business use. I have been able to use separate apps to view my personal (gmail) email and work email from Outlook, however, I have not been able to find a way to view my Outlook contacts and calendar on the phone without syncing my phone to outlook. I do not want to have my business contacts comingled with my personal contacts, so is there an app I can use to simply view my outlook contacts and calendar with out a sync to my phone?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI sync my contacts with Google. OK, how exactly do I do this? People have said, sign on to google and it's all automatic.
First of all, I'd like some verification that my Contacts have been sync'ed before I shut down my existing phone and fire up a new one. I cannot find where -- with my phone -- that I can view my Contacts on Google's website. When I go from my PC, I can clearly see in GMail that my phone Contacts are NOT there at all.
Second, with the Gmail app on the phone, I cannot find where you can view and manage Contacts like you can on the PC view.
I just got my first Android phone, Sony Experia Z. I was wondering how i would be able to sync the phone contacts saved to my Hotmail account to my new phone? I used to have an iPhone before this one and before that, a Windows Phone. From my Windows Phone, it automatically saved my contacts to my Hotmail account and when i got my iPhone and added that account, it synced them back so i didn't manually have to add all my contacts again. How can i re-do this on my new phone?
View 5 Replies View RelatedDropped my Samsung S2 into water and it was not at all salvageable. To my shock I wasn't using a micro SD nor are my data as SYNCED at I thought they were - basically I lost all my contact numbers. I borrowed another S2 so I'm still using Android.
My question is, in order not to lose all my painfully re-built-in-progress contacts, how do can I save numbers that will be synced to my gmail account? here's my actual question:
I was asked where to save the new entries I put in, thinking in terms of syncing I chose to save to google. HOWEVER, google synced with the existing contacts i have with GMAIL. I.e. I can't locate a friend's contact card without having to dig through a WHOLE list of email addresses, e.g. some random inquiry email address that was a one off and i will NEVER use again.
HOW can i separate the two? My objective: save contacts somewhere which can be autosynced so my contacts can be retrieved in case phone dies again/to make it available for syncing on any new device/just as a reassuring back up - WITHOUT mingling them with gmail contacts (i.e. pure email addresses not phone numbers) .
Another observation, if you are still reading, a friend sent me some contact cards via whatsapp, and despite having chosen to save contacts by default to google (instead of sim/SD), those contact cards are saved on the phone. What's my best option? Thinking of getting S4 and seriously, manually putting everything in again is unthinkable, almost an insult to smartphones...
If i may side trek further, when i lost all my data, my calendar events were the only thing I have "sync-saved". For whatsapp history (from where ppl who thought i used an iphone said) it is saved on icloud so all the conversations will be kept intact AND from whatsapp u can make out a lot of the numbers. Instead for android there's not syncing with a cloud for whatsapp, now I have fired up whatsapp again I get these "Shell" group chats with no history and just several numbers which i dunno who's who. If android users can benefit from background saving of whatsapp history ONLINE (and not inside the phone i.e. like me lost when sth abrupt happens?)
Here's what i'm doing :
1) Desktop PC (Outlook 2010) <> USB MyPhoneExplorer <> Phone (ICS SGS2)
This creates contacts on my phone under the "phone" category.
2) Hosted Exchange <> Wireless Activesync <> Phone
This creates contacts on my phone under the "exchange" category.
As the contacts are exactly the same, the contacts are automatically merged and i have 2 separate categories of contacts that display as 1 list which is what i'm looking for.
3) When I resync, all of my exchange contacts are deleted (both on the phone and server) which is not what I want.
Is it possible to have a single set of contacts that I can sync across my desktop PC, phone and exchange server ?
I seem to be having a sync issue with my Droid.When I add a contact to my phone, it doesn't sync into "My contacts" in Gmail; it'll sync into "All contacts". So, a couple of questions:
1) How can I get the phone to add new contacts created on my Droid into "My contacts" in Gmail?
2) I'm trying to understand the point of "All contacts". Why does Gmail want to keep a list of anyone that I've ever sent an email to? Otherwise, it'll be simple enough to just merge the two groups and call it a day.(Note: When I bought my Droid I did NOT have the VZW sales person transfer my contacts or any data from my old Blackberry to my Droid. I used Google Sync on my BB and synced my contacts from my BB to Gmail, then when I got the Droid, it automatically pulled my contacts from Gmail.)(FWIW, yes, I did a search and found two great threads: http://androidforums.com/support-troubleshooting/15042-how-do-i-push-droid-contacts-back-gmails-my-contacts.html and http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/15069-contacts-dont-really-synchronize.html but I have a different situation than most of those guys and I'd actually prefer to sift through and merge a couple of contacts from "All contacts" to "My contacts" every once in a while than deal with a backup and factory reset.)
The issue here is that when I turn on the device, go to contacts and they are all there. After some time, may be 5-10 mins, someone calls me or texts or I go to contacts myself, there are no names stored, except for the device owner (me).
What I have tried to do:
- restart the device to see contacts (yes, that works, but I don't want to restart my device everytime I want to make a call or receive a text message)
- from settings>applications>all tab>contacts => close application and clear cache buttons (not sure how they are in English), go to contacts app choose account which do I want to sync from, in my case its Google only, press sync contacts and voila, they are there. However, for only a few minutes again. If you repeat syncing without closing program and clearing cache, then it will not work.
- filter - doesn't work. Either Google option has many suboptions but no contacts or Google option is there but no sublists (i.e. all contacts, family, friends etc.)
- all my contacts ARE in Google account, which I can see via google.com/contacts - so this isn't the problem.
- device sometimes doesn't want to sync. it does not say it has not been synced, but I can see that the "Last time" it was synced was when it really synced contacts that I could see them, but not just now.
I do not want to use any "aftermarket" apps to view contacts, as I want my device to be as stock as possible.
The first day I bought PadFone 2 it advised me to upgrade to 4.1.1 Android, which I did, so I don't know whether it did work before.
Uninstall your whatsapp messenger and the problem should be resolved on your padfone 2. The problem is the conflict of address books of your native contacts app and of whatsapp contacts. They seem to be stored in the same directory. Now need to wait for whatsapp update.
Is there any way I can extract the .apk for an app I downloaded and installed from the market? So I can store the .apk on my PC
View 7 Replies View Relatedcurrently I still have got Sony Xperia X8. I know it's a little bit old but still I want to keep it for few months. Now I'm thinking about rooting it and upgrading it to Android 2.2 or 2.3. All the stuff is stored in the phone's memory. I'd like to synchronize my contacts and calendar events to Google - tried few tricks but still without any result.
It looks like it's not possible to sync contacts which weren't stored as Google Contacts. I need to do the same with my calendar events.
I would really like to keep my data stored in the phone's memory as well as on Google. So I'm looking for sync option. If this is not possible then I'll need to get used to store everything just on Google but first I need to import my data there as well.
How do you sync your data or what solution do you use and why?

I own a Droidx and a Asus transformer. I need an app that syncs my music from my droidx to my tablet wirelessly, because I download all my music off my phone and never have a computer involved. I use poweramp and really don't want to use another music player in order to do this. But if that's what I'm stuck with ill do it.

I have multiple applications which fetch data from emails, rss feeds, twitter, facebook, etc. For exemple, my Tweetcaster fetch data each 60 minutes, Feedly each 60 minutes, K9 each 60 minutes for all accounts, etc. Is there a way to make applications to sync/fetch all at the same time ?
I was watching a Google I/O session on YouTube, which was very interesting. The bottom line is, to save battery, you should sync everything at the same time, so one big cookie instead of multiple small cookies through the day. Therefore, I am looking for a way to force my applications to sync all together at the same time.
I see my phone contacts have synched with my gmail contacts, which is good. Except that only the email addresses are visible. Not the phone numbers. I have checked on the Accounts and Sync settings for the gmail - and it is set to transfer all (all boxes are ticked).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have several apps, paid and free, on my phone that I currently don't use. I could uninstall them, but I'd like to have them at hand in case I decide to use them again, and would rather not have to write them down or search for them again. Many of them additionally load automatically and have no options to turn that off, so I end up with a good 100M of RAM wasted.
I know paid apps will list as purchased in the market, er, Google Play, so I could easily find them again if I uninstall.
Is there any way to freeze apps so they don't autorun on my phone
we can clean some apps that we dont use going to playstore/myapss/all.
but if you try remove an app from the list (not the 1st app preferably), and install again that app you will notice the position on the list is the same. So its impossible delete apps history, google always remember what apps you have ever installed with your account?
I've been trying for some time to install apps to SD on my Galaxy S3 using apps such as link2SD etc but have had little to no success. I've heard that some custom ROMs allow you to do this without additional software. Since I was planning on ditching the stock ROM in favour of something with better performance and most importantly better battery life I've been looking for a ROM to suit my needs. However most ROM download sites seem to have little information regarding this and I am yet to find a ROM with this capability. Any ROMs that can do this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed the ViperOne yesterday and so far I've been enjoying it, however I'm getting random apps installing. They won't be installed but will show as an update in the Google Play Store, they'll automatically "update" when really their just installing.
These apps include:
Flashlight Small App Free (by Renaud Aste)
Home Anywhere (by amanon)
People Small App (by Renaud Aste)
Small Phone (by Andre Macareno)
Unit Converter Small App (by Sony Mobile Communications)
Currency Converter Small App (by Sony Mobile Communications)
EDIT: Upon further looking they are actually on my phone and when they say their updating they actually are. They look like stock apps (I can't remove them from Settings -> Applications)
Some of the apps appear to be from Sony which would make sense if I had a Sony device, but I don't. It's a HTC One (M7)
I'd like to flash a new rom, is there any way to backup all my installed apps (including the ones I paid for) so that after I flash the rom, I can get them back? I don't mind if I lose their settings, I just don't want to have to go back to the Market and manually download each one again.

I've got about 90 apps on my phone, and when I install a new rom - they all get copied across to the new rom.
BUT old apps I no longer use also get copied over - even though I deleted them from previous rom.
Is there any way to remove them - Im guessing from the Google account?
