| ![]() There is no expandable memory slot in a nexus! So you can't be "moving the SD card". Best way is to sync with the Google account: 1. From the phone (if it's an android) 2. Sync to gmail from PC after backing up from the phone. (Both already suggested in the posts above) |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I dont understand this need to transfer contacts from one phone to another. Whichever phone one uses, his phone contacts would be sycned to Google/Office mail server etc. One gets a new phone, adds up google/office acount, the contact sync up to the new phone. No need to transfer contact from one phone to another if accounts are always synced. Do Note : The Golden source of contacts should be on cloud (Google/Office mail server etc) and not on phone. Phone is just a client. Last edited by ampere : 28th August 2013 at 00:06. |

Go to Settings->Accounts and give your Google and whatever other accounts you want to be synced up(LinkedIn, Facebook, etc). Check the option of backing up your Google contacts and then you won't have to worry about it again! | |

| ![]() Doesn't a simple bluetooth transfer work for contacts? I transferred all contacts from my old Nokia E-72 to my Galaxy S3 that way. Select all contacts > Send via Bluetooth. The Nokia transferred all contacts to the S3 in .vcf format. No details lost, except the tags on additional notes, that were removed. |

Turn on the bluetooth on any old phone , start the app & fetch the contacts from the source phone. This is the easiest way for transfering contacts from any non android phone to new android phone. If old phone is android, export it to sd card, share this .vcf file via bluetooth on your Nexus, then import it via contacts/people. Both the method should work fine apart from google sync method. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() I had Purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 in January. It came with ICS but after 3 months I also got an upgrade to JB. It was an enjoyable experience till some 2 months ago. The Voice command used to initiate itself automatically and the lady inside used to ask me "What would you like to do?" at odd hours. Even the Driving mode used to activate itself automatically. Maybe she wanted a long drive with me ![]() I tried removing all unnecessary apps, doing a factory reset and such things. None helped until I removed TBHP app. After I removed the TBHP app, everything got back to normal ![]() It was not the end...3 weeks ago it started to happen again. She came back and started asking me "What would you like to do?" anytime and every time. And this time the driving mode was not activating but the phone was charging its batteries...even without the charger plugged into it!!! This charging problem resulted in the screen being on always (because when we plug the charger and remove it the screen comes on). Obviously this resulted in the battery draining and I had to charge 3-4 times a day; which was earlier once a day. First thing I did was remove TBHP app. It didn't solve (Moderators can breathe easy now). Did a factory reset but no success. Removed many other apps and no success either. Looked at some other forums and found that this is not new to Samsung and HTC phones. It was mentioned there that some people had logged out of "Samsung account" and the problem was solved. Even that didn't help. After trying to get rid of the problem and hoping for the problem to solve by itself for a week, I finally gave my phone at the Service centre in Jayanagar on Saturday. He had told me that it will be ready by Monday if its a small problem. Heard nothing from him till yesterday and today called him up and he said its still unsolved. Now using an old Nokia 2700Classic. I had charged it fully on Saturday and not gone back to the charger till now My colleague is also facing the voice command problem on his S2 but since its out of warranty he's living with it. Anyone else with such problems/Solutions? |

| ![]() Thank you everyone for the guidance and suggestions. since i wanted to get the call records, messages along with the contacts , i used the I-Drive app mentioned above and it worked beautifully. Its similar drop box where once you upload to the cloud you can download it from any other android phone after logging into that app Thanks all once again! ![]() |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Guys I am planning to sell my Samsung Galaxy S Advance and move to IOS. I am thinking to go with Iphone 4. Is it a good decision. Please help. I have read that Apple might release a cheaper version namely Iphone 5C but still it is not a confirmed news. Also that model will be of plastic and apple are known for their build quality. So I think purchasing an Iphone will be a good decision. But overall please tell me is it a wise decision? |

| ![]() Just read that nexus 4 prices have been slashed by $100 in US and various other countries. Even at today's high $ rate the 16GB variant works out at around 17k with the new prices. Thats a great deal. ![]() Last edited by Eddy : 28th August 2013 at 14:17. Reason: Merged |
