i studied for transfering contacts.

android and ios using vcards

log into ur icloud, and from contacts u need to export the contact to vcards and save it into a file.

once u have google address, u can add the vcards by importing the vcards into it.

try search around.

Jumping ship from iOS, you might want to take software updates into consideration.

Apple is good at providing update across all their devices but that's not the case for Android.

Android's leader, Google can't provide update for every single android phone out there due to the presence of modded android and endless variations of hardware (not all phone uses same hardware, different driver etc). Android running on most phones/tabs are not pure or so called Vanilla Android. This is not the case in Nexus devices which are running Vanilla android which promises prompt updates (although Google forfeit its support for Galaxy Nexus just after 18 months!)

The problem of a modded android is that... Software updates are provided by the manufacturer (Samsung, HTC etc) and they always take their sweet time to provide update for their users. You can opt for Custom ROM (Android modded by developers  among the public) to get faster updates but you lose functions added by those manufacturers in their phones.

Lastly... Vibe Z is from Lenovo, not sure if it will ever get updated to 4.4 but I think it would certainly be update for that. Not so sure for next Android version though.

I should correct you in this way.

Apple is good at providing update across all their devices, so that Apple can force all OTA pop up all over your old iDevices like iPhone4 or iPad2/mini, make you feel like Godlike, but after awhile you feel the LAG and you just love iDevice with iOS7 feature, and then end up buying a new iGadget like iPhone5s or iPadAir to experience better iOS7.

I never mention anything about its good/bad pun. Just telling the difference between iOS and Android ecosystem. Updates are handled differently.

Anyway, agree on you. One of my housemates... Macbook Pro + iPhone 5 + iPod Touch + iPad Air although not all newest gen and some quite old like the MBP and iTouch but still he already sink into iOS. Asking him to change should be very hard biggrin.gif

Why the need to get people to change?
To each his own.
If they like IOS like I used to - so be it.
I used to be on IOS until it gets super difficult to jailbreak.

Are you using any 3rd party launcher or google now launcher, currently only google now launcher able to detect hot word.
Go google setting, under Voice >  "ok google" hotword detection.
edit : oops misunderstood, you mean the say ok google word.  blush.gif

QUOTE(xxdesire @ Mar 14 2014, 01:50 PM)
I believe it's just a tutorial for first time use. When you change the settings in google now, it will be gone.

You don't need that "Say OK Google" text there for the hotword detection to work. Go Google Settings > Voice > check Hotword Detection.

If you really want that text there (which I don't understand why you want it, but ehh), clear data in Google Search (Settings > App > G Search) then reboot. However, doing this will clear all your settings for GEL (homescreen, icons, etc,) and deactivate google now.

I think so... maybe during new, it is just like a tutorial but I've tried... it still works... hahaaaa!
well... heck it... just thought it looks cooler with the word 'Say OK Google' on the search bar... whistling.gif

I'm just taking an example. I never say android is better or iOS is better. It's not a war to begin.

Alright, you beat me. doh.gif

Anyway, I'm not trying to raise the war of Android VS iOS in here AGAIN. I do not against Apple iDevice, because I use iPad too. Is too hard to resists their iDevice Apps Catalog in their AppStore. For smartphone, I stick with Android, unless Apple have Ceberus. For tablet, I will go for iPad or Surface Pro 2. whistling.gif
