Inside the s2, under contacts there's a "export to"
you then choose as .vcf.

What nokia phone?

You will need to do it a few times:

Simcard in S2 -> export to contact1.vcf
bring simcard to nokia -> delete simcard contacts, copy phone to simcard
put simcard into s2 -> export to contact2.vcf

Copy contact1.vcf and contact2.vcf to computer, and upload to gmail contact.

Edit the contact list there and remove/add any if you need.

Then sync your phone and you can choose to clear your simcard if u want.

This is the general step by step, for each individual step on how to export etc. google to see if got pictorial illustration. But I have done this a few times for myself and friends without issues.

How to do this exporting to .vcf? I also need to transfer some of my contacts that is not in the simcard but in my old nokia slider phone.  Is there a fast way to extract the data from that phone to the S2?

EDIT: *transfer. not export. tongue.gif

The shop isn't doing anything for you.

Enter recovery mode and wipe phone, once wipe your phone will be clean but password unlocked.

You can do that as well, but I always prefer to cloud my contacts as I may change phones but want to retain contacts without having the hassle of migration.

Wipe is factory reset all user data gone so user set password should also be gone. Password is to prevent busybody friends go through your phone. tongue.gif

Depends you like the launcher or not. It just add gesture and option to hide app in drawer. Some like apex which have it all for free, but for me nova is smoother.

Well when u wipe all your data also gone so technically its protected. Just your photos and whatever doc u keep in sd remains. So just dun keep sensitive doc/pic in your sd. Or get something like avast that can wipe sd clean with sms command if phone stolen.

unless ur the type that likes to customize and add alot of shortcuts, then its not worth it. the prime edition allows alot of gestures shortcuts only. maybe you can give apex launcher a try


BTW GUYS, anyone knows a good ics launcher that supports scrollable widgets API besides go launcher, launcher pro, zeam, adw lol

Guys anyway to back up contacts using Titanium backup pro ?
I am not using google contacts.. all my contacts are stored in the phone.
*
Last time when I was on GB, the best app to backup and restore Contacts in phone, SMS and MMS is My Backup Pro. I can also export Contacts as a vcf file to external SD Card.

However, after swtiching over to leaked ICS Rom XXLPH, the above method doesn't work very well. So, I have no choice but to sync my contacts to Google account.

Now, I'm on ICS DXLP7, I just synced back all the contacts via google account.

Thought so, but give up when to try to move the gapps file to the phone. tongue.gif

Maybe will try again later. But then, after i flash the rom, can i straight away flash the gapps?

The S2 has remote wiping capabilities and unauthorised sim SMS alert.
No need for avast.

Yes, you can do that without booting up first while still at recovery.
