Hello,
Is there a way to sync some programs data, if they do not have these options themselves?
I suppose definitely we do not have a program similar to itunes. Or do we? That we just sync all devices through wire?
I am using android for 2 years, but now the above need seems so important!

You could use Titanium Backup's Dropbox sync. You only get one way sync, meaning you'd have to download the files to each device then move them to the Titanium Backup folder and restore. You'd almost do just as well to copy the folders to your computer and move them to each device.
Through the built in Google sync, you get contacts, calendar, etc. I'm not sure what other data you'd need to sync between devices.

OK thanks - synchronizing in such a way through Titanium, i think is not that efficient long term... Is a lot of hassle and should be doing it regularly.
For example notes to be synchronized (if the note program you have does not have this option) or music playlist to be synchronized or Angry Birds levels to be synchronized or programs downloading in one device to be synced with the other device in general.
I know that Google apps can be synced between devices and that is super, but i think is time to do a step forward and not just remain in what we currently have.
I suppose people with various Android devices would agree with me.
So no one else wants to sync all his devices together? Or I am still missing an important link between all these?

Hello all, i am leaving winmo this friday for a HTC Hero and i would like to know some things ahead of time.
1. Is ther a bing app for android. i use this every day and would like to continue.
2. how many email acct. can one have on the hero?
3. are there cab. files for android or is everything ran from the app store?
4. will pim backup work to transfer all my contacts, texts, email and so on?
5. are there any other roms to flash to to make it better, and where are they?
i hope some or all can be answered, and i hope this is not a repeat... if so i am sorry, hanx
1. For what purpose?
2. Same as WinMo... one Exchange and as many IMAP/POP3 as you want...
3. Not CABs, they're called APKs in Android, can be installed from device or PC (needs to be enabled in Settings) as well as the market
4. No
5. Modacos and Drizzys is available in the Development forum for Hero, they are custom made from HTCs latest update
Hey, thanks for the quick feed back. just what i needed to know. bing is windows mobile live search cab that give u everything in one place, movie times, weather, business and map searches, gas prices etc. is there anything like it or does google do it all as well? how is the sync feature with windows vista and xp. does android sync with your office suite like winmo does? can you sync calendar, contacts etc.?or will i have to start over with new contact client setup and calendar or something?
It would be in your best interest to set up a google account. I think it syncs your calendar and stuff with google.
Re Syncing of Hero
Yes you can sync your phone so that it gets all your contacts, calendar and emails.
I sync with Exchange to get my emails and calendar entries but use the HTC Sync program to sync contacts. I do this as for some reason I get various errors when syncing contacts through my Exchange account.
This is my first non winmo phone since the first HTC came out on orange and I was very hesitant to leave the platform, however after a week with my G2 (still waiting for T Mobile update!!) i am more than happy and doubt I will venture back unless Microsoft pulls a rabbit out of a hat (or their fingers out of theirs arses) and releases the operating system that people actually want!!
Syncing Hero with Google and Desktop Applications

The Hero comes with HTC Sync which supposedly lets you sync the phone with the Office suite, but I haven't tried that - by the time I realised it was there, I had already migrated everything over to a mixture of Google and Mozilla.
The way I make it work is by using Google contacts and calendar as the 'central database' that you sync everything with. I use Thunderbird for email and contacts, and Sunbird or Lightning for the calendar. (Lightning is an extension for Thunderbird, and Sunbird is essentially the same program but set as a standalone application). Using the GContactSync add-on with the Thunderbird address book lets it sync with Google contacts, and Sunbird/Lightning can be set up already to work with Google calendar. Ideally you actually keep two calendars in Sunbird; one for your recent appointments, one for the archive. This keeps your life off of Google's servers, and makes the synchronising faster on the phone or desktop.
This setup works well even if you have multiple computers that you all want to sync together, though if some of the computers aren't always connected, such as a laptop, then you need another step. The issue is that Sunbird/Lightning connects directly to Google calendar rather than maintaining an offline calendar which it occasionally syncs with Google. So if your connection drops or you switch off wi-fi to save laptop battery, you lose access to the calendar. The solution is another add-on called GCalDaemon which downloads the calendar from Google and then works with Sunbird/Lightning, syncing with Google when it can.
It might sound complicated, but it's not too bad really!
so many questions?

Thank steven just what i was after and i never even asked...good man!

Having left Winmo for Android are you happy with your choice? I am currently running a HD and a Hero, I was intending leaving Winmo but I am a bit disappointed with Android.
Do you feel you can do everything with Android that you could do with Winmo?
I do all my school work on my prime and really want to backup it up so I don't lose it. I've looked at different types of cloud storage but I haven't been able to figure out if there is a certain one that will allow for automated backup of my files on my tablet. I know that they are all capable of automated backup on an actual computer but is there any that will actually do this on the prime. Maybe they are capable of this and I'm just not seeing it.
Titanium Backup is key to all success. It allows for automatic backups to a Dropbox account. You can setup schedules for it to backup on a daily or weekly basis. It's the best IMO.

Um, sounds to me like he wants a way to back up his schoolwork, not his apps. For backing up apps I agree titantium can't be beat, and will sync with Dropbox so your apps are safely backed up online.
If you want to do the same with arbitrary folders, I would recommend FolderSync from the market. Lite version is here which will allow you to sync one folder to the cloud of your choice (It currently support multiple SkyDrive, Dropbox, SugarSync, Ubuntu One, Box.net, LiveDrive, HiDrive, NetDocuments, Amazon S3, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV or windows share (Samba/CIFS) accounts)
You can automate the frequency of syncing with a high degree of control. Paid version will allow you to do multiple folder syncs. I find it great.
Hope this helps.

I would just use Dropbox, or a microsd.

Hey everyone,
I was just curious if you use color note?
And if you do, where does it sync with google?
My phone successfully syncs and all my notes appear, but when I go to my google account or my gmail, I can't find the notes anywhere.
I know you can back up to the SD card, but it's when I sync to google I can't find them there.
i'm wanna know too
somebody....
proprietary sync
It syncs to ColorNote's servers but only uses google to authenticate/log you in. You cannot access your notes online but they claim to be working on a desktop client.

Official information :
I signed up for online sync service with Google account (Facebook account). Are my notes be synced to Google (Facebook)?
ColorNote's online sync service is not synchronized with Google (Facebook). The Google (Facebook) account is used only for authentication when signing into ColorNote. This feature lets you avoid having to create and remember a separate ID/password just for ColorNote.
I signed up for online sync service. Can I access my notes from a PC?
Currently ColorNote online sync service supports only mobile devices. We are looking into developing a web service so that you can access notes online.
I changed devices. How can I restore the notes on the new device?
You can transfer notes saved on the previous device to the new device using SD card backup or Online sync service. In particular, online sync service is recommended. Choose one method from the following four methods depending on your situation.

And millions agree with you.
ColorNote is the Best Note taker in Android,
but even though C.Note has talked about coming up with a PC Sync since 4 years back
nothing has actually happened...
So keep hoping.
none of the above responses helps. i synchronized my colornotes online and i cant find them on my gmail (where i thought it was saved to). How practically will I get my notes back now, please i really have to get them back
Color note sync
Syncing with Google drive means that when you log into your Google account on a second !mobile device you will find color note on the second device contains all your entries.
What would like to know if Google can know the password you use as I didn't need to input it in to my second device.
I use a Nexus 7 and a Motoe. I can make an entry in either device hit sync a and it appears in the other device.
Cheers
Pain in the neck!
Was this issue ever resolved?
You'd think it wouldn't be This difficult trying to transfer my notes from my old phone (Galaxy s3) to my new one (s5)
Like the OP, I tried the sync thing with my Google acct & when I looked for it, I didn't find a thing.
I also tried:
-Bump/NFC beaming & it *did* transfer the CNote app but minus any of my actual notes.
-Evernote & all *that* did was negate my CNote app! As if I'd uninstalled it.
Closest I got was getting an SD card, backing up to that, then emailing that data to myself so I could download it to my laptop (pc) & eventually put into the CNote app on the new phone. But, of course, another dead end when I opened the file, all I saw was a bunch of insane gibberish. It apparently was in Word 97-2003 ."doc" format.
I'm thinking maybe the version of CNote I had on the old phone is different from the one on the new.
Someone here in this thread said CNote is "the Best Note taker in Android." Not sure I believe that. I *do* love its simplicity & clarity, but for the users like myself who are griping here, when it comes to doing what we need it to do- it sucks. And their customer service is basically non-existent.
I'm about ready to break down & just spend 30 minutes to an hour just emailing each one to myself.
Can someone suggest an equally simple, but FAR more flexible note taking app? Thanks!
If you copy the document (backup) you sent to your email and copy that via a USB cable into your mobile phone directory (storage/emulated/0/data/colornote) or phone/data/colornote as it is shown in windows structure. Than inside Colornote (Settings/ backup) you will be able to see this backup. Click on it and view you will see all your notes.
I don't see how you can restore it but that could be related that I don't have any changes between the current version and my backup.
Hope this helps

HEY.... For all of you who are concerned about the case: How to back up and restore data in ColorNote for Android?
The following explanation helped me:
The thing is what if you’re changing phones or transferring data from one device to another? You will definitely need to back up your phone data and that, of course, includes the data that you’ve saved using ColorNote. You need to have ColorNote app in the new device and get access to it via Online Sync, and automatically it restores all of you notes that were there in the old device.
Lost in Space
I have a question since I have no idea where my personnel information is going "SERVER" is there a way to delete your information from this so called server????
My nexus tablet was stolen and my notes are locked on my surface pro. How can I unlock them on the surface pro?
Windows 10 App for Color Note
If you have a PC with Windows 10 you can download a Color Note App for access on that computer.
Colornote Sync deletes my data
- I inadvertently deleted all my notes
- Easily restored them using my internal backup
- Problem is when I turn sync back on it deletes all my notes
- I believe it is looking to the cloud as the most current status, seeing it empty (since I deleted everything) and syncing all that emptiness to my phone, erasing my freshly restored notes.
- How can I get sync properly operational again ?
Thanx !
The fault is the mocosoft
THE QUESTION IS : WHERE ARE THE DATAAAAAAAAAAA ????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!
My answer is : colornotes is Microsoft application ( in Spanish MOCOsoft sheet industry )
AND YOUR DATA IS IN MOCOSOFT ENTERPRISE ( of corse : very very and very protected )))

i managed to sync my ColorNotes using gmail ..
apparently Google places the Notes in the [Trash] section of the Google Drive linked to your gmail =D
classic google ..
Simply install ColorNotes app on your PC. Log in using your google account. All your notes are stored there. Just did it myself and it works like charm...
I have set up the speed dialer, bookmarks and passwords using the password manager on the Boat browser on my Nexus 10 and I would like the same set-up on my Nexus 4 without having to do it manually.
The Boat browser does not provide a way of syncing all data between devices and I wondered if the Carbon app could do it.
Does anyone know enough about the Carbon app to know if that will work or any other way to enable data sync between two devices?
Thanks
I use DataSync to sync game and app data between devices. It's awesome. You can choose any application on your device, even queue them up, and sync with Dropbox, or sync directly between devices.

Plus 1 for data sync. I use it works great.
Thanks for your replies.
I've decided to use the Carbon app by Clockworkmod because I am not rooted so can't use datasync.
Sv: Syncing Apps Between Devices Using Carbon App
It seems to be a problem with Data sync beta with multiuser in 4.2.1 though. I synced some apps and it then was present on all user accounts with my data. Apps wasn't even installed on those accounts from the beginning. I'm a little bit worried I actually overwrite my wife's game data if I sync a game we both play.
Also I want automatic sync but I don't understand if it's just sync by schedule or as soon as app data has changed?
Now I also need to choose direction all the time and for some strange reason data is sometimes updated latest on my tablet than remotely even though I know remote is that latest so it is confusing from time to time.

This is from an article on CNET, sorry I can't post any links yet since I'm new to this forum.
"Before you begin setting up your Android device, you're going to need a Google account, be it a Google Apps or Gmail account. It's not required on an Android device, but if you're going to take advantage of all that Android has to offer, you'll want to sign up for one. You'll be asked to log in to this account during the initial setup process on your Android device. If you skipped this step and want to go back and add the account later, you can go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google. This same process can be followed to add another type of account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.).
Contacts, Calendar and Mail
If your contacts are syncing from your iPhone to Gmail, transferring them will be a breeze. Just make sure you sign into your Android device using the same account you use on your iPhone and make sure Contact sync is enabled. For other accounts, such as Yahoo, you'll need to export your contact list from the Web site for the account. You can typically find this in settings for your account. Or, some carriers offer a free app in the App Store built specifically for transferring your contacts. Verizon and AT&T have apps that do just that.
Should you be an iCloud user, you can still use your iCloud account to sync calendars and contacts to your Android device, but you're going to have to purchase a couple of apps. I have talked about one of the apps before, called SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts; the calendar app is called SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar. These two apps will add your iCloud account to your Android device, allowing you to keep your iPad or Mac in sync with your Android device. This comes in especially useful if you're sharing an iCloud calendar with a family member and don't want to force him or her to switch to Google Calendar just because you've switched to Android.
Music
Perhaps one of the quickest steps of moving from an iPhone to Android is getting your music collection on your new device. What you'll need to do is download the Google Music app to your computer and point it at your music collection. Google will then store your music in the cloud, up to 20,000 songs for free, and let you stream it on your shiny new Android device via the Music app. Anytime you add new music to your catalog, the Music Manager app will automatically upload and sync it to your Android device for you.
If using Google Music isn't possible for you, you can drag-and-drop the music on your computer into the Music folder (create one if it's not present) on your Android device via a USB connection. Mac users will have to use the Android File Transfer app to access their device's storage.
Photos
With the introduction of iCloud and its Photo Stream service, getting photos off your iOS device is easy. Using iPhoto on a Mac, or installing the iCloud Control Panel on a Windows machine you can conveniently grab photos from your iPhone and then sync them to your Android device via USB or through your Google+ account.
For videos on your iPhone, you'll need to use iTunes, iPhoto, or a file explorer to grab the files. Using a program like iExplorer, Image Capture (found in the Utilities folder on a Mac), or the native Windows File Explorer taking the files off your device is simple.
Going forward, you can sync photos from your Android device to your computer via USB, or by installing the Dropbox app and enabling its Camera Upload feature. Rather not mess with a file explorer? The Dropbox Camera Upload feature is another method to get photos off of your iPhone and on to your computer."
Hi- Some of this information may have been posted by "Moreno2.0" but I wanted to give you some info very concisely.
1. From what I can tell, if you have already been syncing your contacts with google, you're set. If not, you may have to export your contacts and then import them into gmail (should be a relatively easy procedure.) I found the following site that may assist you with this and your music. http://goo.gl/OsGcPe
2. Google Play Music SHOULD import all your album art, etc.
3. The biggest thing about Android is the fact that if you want your phone to do something, most likely you can. You chose the #1 Android development related forum to come to, and you should definitely stay active around here (at least checking out what projects people are working on etc.) to help your experience a lot. A ton of the apps I use daily I probably wouldn't have heard about until I came here. Not everything makes Editor's Choice on Google Play.
4. I don't see how you would lose your features if you use an official update method. Most of the time you will update via OTA (over the air) and your phone will notify you that you have an update ready to install. I'm not familiar with your device's specifics, but if you check out its related forum- you may find that you can Odin (Samsung Tool) update to 4.4 or another software release in the future.
Welcome to Android, and please feel free to personally message me if you have any questions. I'm not a developer (yet, working on that), but I know quite a bit. I'm an iOS convert myself.
