QUOTE(mADmAN @ Apr 24 2013, 04:26 PM) sigh...how do i backup my apps (& SMSes) from my android 2.1 motorola defy into my acro s? For SMS, the app SMS Backup & Restore never failed me. Transferred SMS across over 10 Android phones. It's free and doesn't require root.i know how to backup contacts via gmail... but the apps part (especially games (saved data etc) n some paid apps) abit the dunno how.... i found wondershare mobiletrans.. but paying RM120+ for something ill prolly only use once is abit painful (unless someone here can gimme the key) both phones are NOT rooted and dont intend to root due to my n00bness  EDIT: doesnt need to be software on the phone (which i see most requires root) can be software for the PC (like the mobiletrans i posted) This post has been edited by Dannyl: Apr 29 2013, 01:44 AM |

QUOTE(xzjasonzx @ Jun 9 2013, 10:29 AM) Does factory reset remove preloaded ringtones and wallpapers? Preloaded meaning stock ones? Then no, those are in the firmware itself. Unless you manually removed them with root access. |

QUOTE(shawn87 @ Jul 4 2013, 09:29 PM) may i know how to sync my contact to gmail? I believe your contacts are either phone contacts or SIM contacts. They can only sync if they are Google contacts. To start, go to https://www.google.com/contacts/ and on the left, click Import Contacts, then choose your exported CSV file. Then those contacts can be synced to your phone. On your phone, you can choose to display Google contacts only and hide phone and SIM contacts.ive sync but my gmail contact show 0 contact help me pls since im going to root n flash my phone soon.. what i did was export contact to sd card then go setting > account > sync contact (under gmail) but no joy.. enlighten me pls tq |

QUOTE(lol~ @ Jul 13 2013, 08:43 PM) Hi, i noob with android.hoping to get some answer here Some apps have required OS version (eg. equalizer apps require ICS and above). Most apps should run fine since you're on ICS, which is actually still comparatively new.Can i install new android apps if my phone only support ICS? Is android os have anything to do with installing apps? Mainly what are the reason to upgrade the OS Hope someone can clarify me.thx! Mainly the reason people are eager to update OS is for the extra features which come with the OS version. Some are just becos of their inner geekiness (eg. "OMG 4.2.2 is out and I'm only on 4.2.1!") |

QUOTE(lol~ @ Jul 14 2013, 09:46 PM) Ok,i understand now.thx for your answers! For RM500-Rm600, Atrix2 is a decent phone. Or you can go for 2nd-hand S2. Expired ICS still relevant at least for the next 1-2 years, in my opinion. One last question,is it ok if i buy motorola atrix 2 now?coz atrix doesnt have JB and ICS will consider expired if the next new Android version come out |

Catch Notes is shutting down
I've been using it for years.Any note-taking apps to recommend? Need cloud-syncing, browser and Android app access, and password-protection. QUOTE(Kr0ll3R @ Aug 3 2013, 02:16 PM) In other words, for it to display my contacts on my phone, I have to select the 'Contacts to display' to 'Google Gmail'? I think it will sync regardless of what you have selected to display, as long as sync is turned on and the contacts are actually in your Google account. Yes Google stuff are stored in the cloud, like your Contacts, Keep notes, Gmail, etc.and that's where the sync will only work? At first, My thought was syncing google gmail accounts will automatically copied to my phone memory, which is NOT? IF I want my contacts to appear on phone memory, I have to export all contacts to SDCard and Import back to my phone memory? EH wait, IF I choose 'Contacts to display' on Google Gmail Account, where does it store the contacts? cloud? or under phone memory? Pardon my noobish Q  |

QUOTE(cHiLdHo0drEaMz @ Dec 2 2013, 10:54 AM) Good morning guys. I need some suggestion on apps which can hide pics,videos and files (must not show in gallery). Any suggestion (must sure cannot be detectable at all) ? To hide from gallery, put a file called ".nomedia" into the folder, and gallery / image editors will not see it by default. Video players also cannot see it unless there's an option to show hidden folders, like MX Player. But file explorers can still see such folders. |

QUOTE(mooney @ Dec 3 2013, 08:01 PM) Guys, any idea why there is practically no news about htc butterfly s here? It looks pretty nice and the battery sounds amazing. Im now kinda stuck between nexus 5 or htc butterfly s though... Nexus 5 is good overall but the battery life kinda suck.. Compared to htc butterfly s 'Here' meaning MY or LYN? Regardless, the brand popularity and preferred choice for normal users:Samsung > Sony > HTC > LG > other misc brands. Beyond Sony, people normally won't know what you're talking about  |

QUOTE(Sammyking @ Dec 17 2013, 10:25 PM) Why is there a price difference when both the dealer and ori samsung shop are selling the same original samsung phone? Also, I can't seem to find a samsung service center. I asked this shop (authorised dealer) where should I send my phone if rosak and they refer me to the ori samsung shop that sells samsung phone. Then when I go there to ask the same question of where can I send my phone for repair if anything is wrong with it within the warranty period...that ori samsung outlet refer me somewhere else... Authorised dealers sell at RRP, outside shops sell at whatever price they want depending on their profit margin. The devices and warranty are the same. Since you had bad service at authorized dealers, why not buy from outside shop? The ones like Satu Gadget, DirectD, aaronac, etc (found at Garage Sales) offer very competitive prices.Seems like for samsung, after-sales services are terrible, no? I don't want to buy a smartphone then when things go wrong, sending it for repair will be such a headache. I haven't bought the phone yet also got problem locating whr to send the phone for repair..can't imagine if I actually bought it. As for service center, here, I've taken 30 seconds to Google and test it out for you. I've personally went to the 1Utama and Low Yat Plaza ones. http://www.samsung.com/my/support/location...viceLocation.do |

Any app to control which of my installed app gets Internet access? MIUI has something like this built in.
QUOTE(euphoria92 @ Jan 15 2014, 10:45 PM) Anyone know the normal temperature for a dual core phone. I just bought an Xperia V and it gets hot pretty quick. An app i downloaded said my batt temp was about 44C during normal usage. Is this normal? I fear i may have bought a cheap/counterfeit set as the person tpld me it was ori set but te box was in chinese so must be a china set. It may be ori, i dont know. But is it normal to get hot like that? For S4 it's normal to get to 44C, but during multitasking, using GPS, etc. Normal usage then not likely to go that high. Do you have Sony warranty card and receipt? You need both for Sony warranty claims, if it's an original Sony. Don't think ori Sony box got Chinese... anyway you can call Sony to check if it's ori. |
