Galaxy s ll/GT-i9100 --sms messages from pc to smartphone which way to go? what do you suggest?
What i can suggest is.....install sms backip and restore app and export some sms and it will export that sms in a xml format......try creating the messages in ur pc to that format and import it....
Is that msgs is getting moved from some other phone....then there is some utility which can export in xml format which is accepatble for the sms backup restote app......
Just throwing my 2 cents but u may have a better option.....

If u r trying to send sms from pc to phone then u can try airdroid or desk sms from play store.

insert that address in pc browser address bar and login in with password given in airdroid.

open airdroid and click start if the service has not started, then open browser in ur pc and type the address shown in airdroid app. the page will load and ask for u to login then enter 4 letter password shown in airdroid app and login. i hope that solves it otherwise use desksms app from play store and install addons in firefox or chrome browser in ur pc and login in both addons as well as desksms app in ur phone with ur google account.
the page will load
But it dosnt ill have to try desksms ............... that works thanks

While most everything works from the rooting process equal to the phone I was not able to import all my google contacts only a handful will import into the Nook (NC). After many tries I found a work-a-round.
Save the contacts in google to (outlook type) CVS file and place it on the external sdcard. Download Navdress Book (the only one of many I tried) and import the contacts.
I still have a very small issue with my screen having everything bump up to the edges, while everything is there just no space around the sides. I am sure I will find some screen font/resolution way to make everything look better. Even if not this is so way cool to use over my Vibrant, as much as I enjoy the screen sharpness the NC is faster (hard to believe)...and larger screen....so I find I read and surf more on it then my phone now. Also being able to connect the NC to the phone I do not need to worry about wifi.
As I was going to get the SamsungTab, yet with their POOR support and software updates I was holding off until next year to see if otherS had a better tab, now I do not need to!
The phone is a phone, searching and maps tool, whereas the NC is a web-surf, email, reader, games, etc. Guess as I write this I would be open to 2/3rd the NC size (about 5" to 6 " thin) tab that had everything the NC and Vibrant has in one package. A "BEST of Both Worlds" kind of wish. Small and light enough to do it all...Hey it is a new year folks...
does this allow you to select contacts within google voice or a mail program? the reason i ask is it seems like a standalone contacts program.
i exported everything to a vcard file and used a program called 'import contacts' to get everyone on my phone (edit - scratch that: my nook). they don't all show up in my contacts app but they can be selected in google voice, k9, etc now. woohoo

Sadly no just have them available to lookup. Not sure what you are referring to about the phone. I have no problem with the Vibrant and Google, just the NC does not bring in nor allow contacts to be selected in gmail, that I have found. Read and reply works just not contacts lookup...
However, I can goto the WEB interface and reach gmail/contatcs and send that way. Can not use the gmail app on the NC unless I type in the full email address, kind of a drag unless replying is all I was pointing out.

that's what i meant. i meant nook, not phone this will make it to where you can actually select contacts.
Edit: just added this to the wiki: Making contacts work
So, what do you do once you have all your contacts on the Nook? Can't call them ... can't launch an email to them ... it's just a glorified address book at that point isn't it?

Using the method I posted, you can actually start typing their email address or name, etc and it will show up.

Sweet - worked like a charm.
... By the way, to get a vcard of your contacts, go to gmail on web, click on contacts on the left side, more actions, export, and choose vcard.

After importing the contacts into Navdress, I found I was able to choose a contact, select the individual contact icon and the email address would automatically load into email program of my choice (K9 for me). Another option. Going the vcard route would not work for some reason.
Thanks here.david and jadambpharm for figuring this out. Have either one of you explored sending emails to groups? I have tried a number of group contact apps without any success. Thanks again.
Thanx for the post here.david
I also found this method on nookdevs and it worked really well,

Yes that is correct. I mainly use my nook for email and have a number of different distribution groups that I send a mass email to. Thanks (sent from Texas).

I have just tested with my nook and two mail apps, gmail and maildroid(i find it more convinient) and it works fine.
the testing procedure was following:
1. Call up phonebook app, find your contact, press on it and if contact has e-mail press email button and select your app to compose message.
2. Call up gmail app, begin typing contact name or email and drop down list appears matching to the keyword and select your contact.
3. Call up maildroid and do same steps at p.2.
All works fine
Note: p.2 and 3 are possible without any contacts manager app, it is available just after importing contacts from soocial account.
I have no groups of contacts thats why i cant test with groups, sorry...

I dont know, i have not try this jet. Need to check soocial for this possibility.
I've been using happily using back up to gmail, however on a recent rom change the restore is proving a little frustrating, there's 4000 messages to restore and it keeps dying well before that.
I wondered if there was a way to manually do this, i obviously have the emails in my gmail account, can i drag and drop them anywhere on the phone to do a manual restore??
Thanks

Try "my backup" pro or root from market.
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
ouch that sucks!
Managed to get it working using a wifi connection, think it was just a bit too much trying to do it over 3g.
You can use Softaken Gmail backup for Windows , an email backup application for Window from Invent Pure. Gmail backup for Window can be used with all the email clients on Window. This application is used to backup, restore and even convert email database to different formats. Click the link below to download the trial version and test it accordingly. Download Free Trial of Mail Backup for Window.
Now that my Nook is rooted, I'm trying to find a contact manager that will sync with Google contacts. Not having the phone portion of the Android system makes it difficult to load contacts!
Any ideas?
I have also been looking for this without luck. Every contacts app that I have tried force closes. I even copied the CM7 stock app from my Nook Color to my Tablet, but got the same result. Seems something is missing from our Android build....but I don't know what....
I'm using Go Contacts. It's free on the Market.
That did it! Thanks.

I'm having a hard time getting Go Contacts to sync with my gmail contacts for some reason.
I all I have to do is download/install, and then make sure it shows my gmail account in the app??
Update
And I need to learn to try every possible thing before I ask for help...I'm not actually retarded, I promise.
For those who are having problems with getting your contacts to sync:
1)Download and install Go Contacts
2)Open Go Contacts
3)Press Menu Key
4)Press Setting Icon
5)Press Backup and Recovery
6)Press Account Sync
7)Select whichever account's contacts you want to sync
8)Check the box to begin syncing Contacts
Anyone had problems creating or editing contacts? I found that for me, this and other functions weren't working until I installed the stock email app using Indirect's method. (Thread is in this same section.)
Now Go Contacts properly allows me to add/edit contacts (I guess it needs to use an outside contact editor for this, and B&N's stock doesn't work.) Now contacts-to-email functions properly.
A nice bonus is that street addresses will open in Google Maps (or Google Earth if you have either installed) and phone numbers will open a chat in textPlus.
I think the stock email app also fixed some issues with other contact managers that were crashing or giving 'no application for that' errors before. I was curious and reinstalled a few that had failed before, and some worked. But overall, none seem as seamless as Go Contacts, so I wouldn't recommend anything else.
I have the stock email installed as well as go contacts...they sync fine but I still can not edit or add contacts...both installed to system/app and both have permissions set to:
Read write
Read
Read
Can not get go contact to edit/add
I shut down and restarted....no luck...anyone have any ideas? Maybe remove the stock social.apk?

When you say you can't get go contact to edit/add, what happens when you tap the edit icon on the top right of the screen? Can you actually edit the details? Do the changes not save?
Go Contacts works perfectly for me.
Nothing happens when I press the + button. When I long press on a contact it takes me to a menu so I can choose edit...but nothing pulls up. Thanks for responding
Anybody know where I can get the apk for Go Contacts? I see it's not in the Amazon App Store and I don't want to send it to my phone to get the apk. Thanks.

Do you have a google account set up?
When I hit the + it says "Create contact under account" and lists the gmail account I set up for the stock email account. When I choose it, I can create new contacts.
Edit brings up the same contact editor under the same account.
Hi guys. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace, firmware Android 2.3.6, rooted
3 questions:
1. I've been able to surf the web using my laptop thru my phone's tethering capability. Will my carrier know about it and charge me for it?
2. When I tap the 'Internet' app, the default homepage is www.google.com.xx (xx represents my country). How do I make it www.google.com ?
3. I always use Kies to back up my phone's contacts. It saves all contacts in a .spb file (samsung phonebook?). Is there a way to send all contacts to my gmail account so I won't have to use Kies?
Thanks so much!
Hi, answer first two questions I dont know, but contats may be - you must synchronise your contacts with google account - in contacts - press menu, account, enable synchronisation
I am using export to SD.

I assume if you exceed your data cap, which is easier to do on a laptop, then yes. For browsing, perhaps they can detect desktop useragent strings if they examine their connection logs, but this would depend on your carrier. Opera on the desktop can tweak useragent strings if I remember correctly, to mask desktop browser usage.

Settings > Set home page should do it but not sure if google do some redirection magic, at which you may need to delete your cookies.

What is wrong with google contacts sync? I never have to backup contacts as that just works with my google account. I do have to backup SMS messages, and the excellent SMS backup and restore by Ritesh Sahu archives them to XML and emails me that daily, very handy!
iandol, nothing wrong with google contacts sync.
I don't need the email addresses of my friends in my gmail account to be copied to my phone. What I'm asking for is this: All contacts on my phone will be uploaded to my gmail account, so that if I ever reset my phone, all I need to do is access my gmail account through my phone, and download the contacts. As opposed to plugging my phone to my laptop, opening Kies, and 'import' the contact file (.spb), and 'save to device (my phone)'.
Hope I'm clear.
Thanks!
Yes. When I switch ROMs I never have to back up my contacts (many with *only* phone numbers), I just associate my phone with my google account and it automagically syncs all my contacts after a few minutes of first booting that fresh ROM. What it doesn't back up is my call log, my sms messages and apn settings, which is why I use other programs for that. *And* although Market tries to reinstall the apps I installed I much prefer to backup apps+data using Titanium Backup, this means I get my phone back exactly as I want it with minimum fuss!

If you don't have data plan at you carrier you will be charged for used MB. And your carrier shouldn't be worried how you spent your MB.

If your sync is on and contacts are sync with gmail it will be located under Gmail sign > click mail and switch to contacts.
