I apologize if I'm posting to the wrong forum... but I was hoping someone knew if there is a way to transfer the "title" information which is in the address book for blackberry phones. I performed a google sync to get all my contacts to my Note but it left out the "title" information. Thanks in advance.

Matter of fact I do know how to do this
1 put both phones side by side ensuring a clean view of each screen
2 open the contacts on the blackberry
3 open the contacts on the note
4 find the first contact you are looking to transfer
5 get to typing on your awesome note one contact at a time :-D
Lol sorry couldent resist, I am not sure if there is a way. Good luck though!

Hey guys,
Just changed to the S2 after years of iPhone use. Found it a little tricky, but these forums are great and have solved loads of my questions.
The only thing I can't seem to find the answer to is a problem when opening Word Document Email attachments in K9 or Improved Mail. If I click 'Open' at the bottom of the email, it just says "This document cannot be opened". If I hit 'Save' and find the attachment in My Folders, then it opens up no problems using Polaris.
Have tried a few other Office Viewers, but the formatting doesn't work anywhere near as well as Polaris, so I'm hoping there's some hidden setting I'm missing in order to allow it to open straight from the email.
On the upside, I'm loving the S2 compared to my iPhones!
Thanks in advance for your help
Hello XDA community
Long time lurker first time poster lol
I have searched for this and haven't found much.
What I would like to do is have the contacts list on my Galaxy S2 display the Organization field when I am scrolling through it, for example:
First Name Last Name Organization
Jack Smith Samsung
John Smith XDA Developers
Anyone who has used an iPhone will know what I mean.
I've tried GO Contacts and there was no option I could find to do this either.
Any ideas?

That is a feature for up-comming versions.
Just post your idea to Google and Samsung.
Meanwhile you can "mis-use" the group to get your contact sorted by "Organization".
Enter the organization into group field and use the Groups view to scroll through your contacts.
EDIT:
Alternatively you can use the search on top of your contacts to search for a special organization name.
I'm sure this has been captured somewhere in the forums, but my futile searches didn't yield the results I was looking for.
I ordered the Galaxy S3 which should be on my doorstep this afternoon. I've been using iPhones since the 3G and this will be my first Android device. As such, I want to make sure I get most of the data off of my iPhone and onto my new Galaxy. Is there an app or easy means of transferring the following:
- Contacts
- Calendar
- Text Messages
- Pictures
For anyone else that has changed over from the iPhone, is there anything else I should be aware of in this process? Much appreciated! :good:
I switched awhile ago. I always had my contacts and calendar synced with Google so that makes that part very easy.
Im sure there is an easier way for pics then the way i did it..but I just copied the pics off my iphone to a folder on my desktop and then just copied them to my galaxy
Please search in the future.. But here you go.

I would suggest centering everything around a google account. If you can use iTunes to export your contacts and calendar to .csv or another standard format, you can import this list into the gmail account that you will be using for your GS3 - then just use the same account to log into the phone, sync, and voila. If you go to Gmail-Contacts-More-Import you should get a msg like this:
We support importing CSV files from Outlook, Outlook Express, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, Eudora and some other apps. We also support importing vCard from apps like Apple Address Book.

Without an sd card or similar removable media for the iPhone, I would go with cloud storage (Dropbox, box.net, Google Drive) for the upload/download of your pictures or other media. Good luck and welcome to Android! :highfive:

I saw that article the other day - kind of spurred on this question actually. My only issue with that utility is that is utilizes iTunes. I have despised iTunes since my original iPhone 3G. I ONLY used it when it was completely and totally necessary...
Presently, I have most of my stuff backed up to iCloud so I wonder if there is any other kind of solution that can pull my data off of that?

What do you have saved on iCloud? You can extract all your contacts off of the iCould address book and import it to google.

It is quite easy for those who are using Google account. If you are looking for converting essential data of Iphone to new android Phone so you can do it with the help of Google Account.
I have question regarding your use of the Gmail app. I am a current ios user and have purchased a Note 2. I was about to reluctantly return it and get an iphone5 (sad choice, because I loved the Note 2), but since I use my smartphones for work and use emails constantly I need a slick and easy way to sync (IMAP idle/push) four email addresses to one app.
I tried k9 and hated it. No threading/conversation view. push not responsive and def not easy to use. No server search for email. On a good day, I'll get more than 100 emails to various addresses. I sometimes need to search for a specific one. and on K9 Im stuck with only the last 25. I could increase the number of saved emails, but that takes up lots of space. Sure its powerful, but I need the basic to work quickly and easily.
Its a big change for me, moving to Android that is. and I want to make it work. Can you tell me if you can use the Gmail app (which I like), and manage, read, write to and from all my account (one Gmail, 3 domain hosted addresses)?
Thanks for you help.
I use gMail & have my main gMail account grab my home & work eMail brought into their own label (which I set up on the desktop client). Once it's setup & verified I can send from any of my email addresses from my phone.

Same problem

My friend i am going through the same problem - I was *just* about to post my thread when I saw this.
I'm not going to thread jack - but below is what I was going to send - this is particularly the same problem you are facing and more over, I dont get all my sub folders and the emails dont zoom out to the max...
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is my first android device so I would require some help from you guys. I've owned iphone 2g and iphone 4 and now I thought that android had matured enough that I should jump this droid boat. Not to mention that the note 2's s-pen is a real innovation compared to other stuff android fanboys and iphone fanboys boast about.
I'm still getting used to a lot of functions about the androids and loving every moment of it. But im not particularly here to talk about that - I need some help on one thing I rely most upon...
EMAILS
iOS - email app has ALL my mailboxes (some pushing while others fetch) including their folders and sub-folders, all nicely laid out. Also whenever I open an email on the iOS device the email is zoomed out to the max and I can zoom in to my satisfaction.
Pics:
Folders of my work email & Default (max) zoomed out email - kindly check attachment
Problem - I can not get this done on the android. The following pics are from the stock email app but I tried K9, the gmail app (doesnt support exchange) but none of them could provide me the maxed zoomed out layout of the email. Niether are folders easy to access.
Pics:
Folders of my work email (missing all subfolders of the inbox) & Default (max) zoomed out email - cant zoom out any further at all!
kindly check attachment
SOLUTION? I need to know if there is an app that could work like the iOS email app?! I really want to switch to the note 2 but I still end up carrying my iphone with me and I hate it cuz one of the major reasons to switch to android and note 2 was the productivity, and yet I still end up relying on the iphone...

I have an HTC one phone that is set to use my Google mail, contacts, and calendar. The issue I am having is with Google contacts.
If I change a Google contact from my Google account online, that change gets reflected in my phone.
Conversely, if I change a pre-existing Google contact from my phone, that change gets reflected online.
The problem only comes in when I "add" a new contact but is fine if the contact is added online.
However, if I "add" a new contact via my phone, it does not go into Google contacts unless it is later copied there with a separate procedure. Instead, my HTC One (Android v4.1.1) puts the new contacts into the phone's internal contacts, thereby creating a separate list of contacts.
How do I keep this from happening and gain the ability to add the new Contact directly into my Google account?
This is the HTC One forum not the One x forum

First things first.. (this is a screen shot of the 'add new contact' screen.) Under where it says 'CONTACT TYPE' make sure you have 'Google' selected.
Yeah.. That's pretty much all I got.

Unbelievable! This has been driving me insane for months. Even a forum post on Experts-Exchange and an earlier one here didn't turn it up. That's fantastic, thank you!
Do you know how to make it the default?

Glad it worked.. As far as default, that I'm not sure. Even though mine is set to Google as the default now. I'll dig in the settings a little more. It may just stay after you set it once until you change it again, but not sure.
