for your information, Nokia Ovi sucks till the end of the world. backup sometimes failed, sometimes unable to recognize my N97, and even bricked my phone twice when flashing new firmware using Ovi. who say ovi is better than Kies? its like 50 steps laughing at 100 steps

I heard that we can backup our contacts, calendar, notes etc in our S2 to Google.

anyone kind enuff to guide me how to?

Under Settings > Accounts and Sync - Make sure you added your google account.

Click on your account, you can sync contacts, gmail, picasa album, calendar. Select which ones you want to sync....and click sync.

Your data now will be sync. If you go to your gmail contacts,you will see it similar to your phone.

Not sure about the notes though..

hmmm.. maybe I think it's time for me to learn how to use Google contacts syncing... something it's very difficult as you know it may mixed up with the mail contacts and need to clean up and everything but I think I have to learn it now...

P/S: I didnt have problem syncing contacts at the first time, BUT when I export my N97 Nokia contacts to SDcard and then import it into SGS2 and the problem occurs... Anyone know what's the exact problem with this contacts moving?

and just now I tried to export my SGS2 contacts to SDcard, and then restored the contacts I backup at the first time, then Kies got no problem, and then I used Kies to import the contacts I exported from my SGS2 into SGS2 again, only 66 contacts out of 188 contacts were imported, and Kies still got no problem...
But then again I imported the contacts from my SDcard, 188 contacts were imported again, and then the SAME problem occur AGAIN...lol..I know it's a bit confusing but that's what I dd just now and it end up Kies only read 66 contacts of my 188 contacts but not the rest, fedup... and I'm still wondering WHY...

Later, I might try to TYPE IN those contacts in my Nokia N97 ONE BY ONE into my phone directly and see how Kies will read it... sigh...
*
its not easy since different applications/ programs have different formats (example: Outlook might have certain fields not recognised by others)... that's why it took me like 2-4weeks to merge Outlook + Gmail. It was a manual task and consisted of many steps... but in the end, i m now very happy because this is the first time my phone contacts = email contacts. and better yet, they are just in one list.

PM me if you wanna try my manual method. i'm more than happy to share the steps, etc...

oh ya... just sharing... reader's hub is actually quite good.

downloaded some free magazines. also downloaded some free books under kobo. mostly the classics are free. there's also a Star Wars series specially for ebooks, if i'm not mistaken. i downloaded that series + origin of species, art of war, aesop's fables.

just curious... these books are already downloaded to the phone, right? coz i noticed sometimes when i turn the pages, it takes like 15-20secs to load.

only thing... each time i start reader's hub, it keeps prompting that stupid agreement thingy.

wah, i tot click the 90 days thing means we want to think twice abt agreeing...

if i tick it... every 90 days it pops up again?!? i wonder for what? kinda stupid, no? smile.gif

anyway, seems the magazine... can download the full magazine. but i probably need to check and see if kobo does that as well... download the whole book.

magazine is using zinio and i downloaded Maxim for Aug 2011 (the cover got me interested). wink.gif

Step 3 actually defeat the purpose of having custom firmware. You should stick with the provided kernel or can flash any other custom kernel. If flashing the stock kernel (it's XXKG3 kernel, coz litening was based on this not your stock out of box kernel) you will be missing the CWM features. Please read alternative method on removing the triangle which involves stock kernel and CF-Root kernel.

btw, reli love swype. but hate its chinese input though. one small bug found on swype. when typing chinese in whatsapp, the english pinyin together with the chinese words will be there for the first phrase even i had selected the chinese word. anyone else encountering same bug? blink.gif

Smart keyboard got trial version but not swiftkey x. I m using smart keyboard becoz it support chinese input and can interchange between chinese and english input at the keyboard itself.

Swiftkey x function is really cool as it learns your typed word behavior. You decide.
