Interestingly enough, i need to find a way of copying Google contacts to a SIM Card.
A family friend is getting a temporary prepaid, and the phone doesn't have a method of importing contacts beyond using the SIM. Period.
If it involves a PC, that's fine too....but manually entering 300 contacts in't an option.
Open contacts
Menu button
import/export
Export to SIM
Select all contacts
Export.
New phone either import them, or just display directly from sim

There's no export to sim. You can only import from SIM. I found an app for it, but in the end it forced me to wipe my phone. The apo must have been 3 years old.
I don't know if it had malicious code in it, or if it was just way too old...but it kept restarting my launcher, a couple times a second, and afterwards, every app i loaded crashed.

Ok, there is "export to sd card", so that option should have been used.
There is a black on black issue in this Rom so I can't get a screenshot of my import/export options... I have to press each one to see what it says otherwise it's just black.
I don't have the kung fu to prove it, try getting a shot while actively pressing lol, but I have that option on novena
I didn't just blindly post that I honestly looked, that's the first time I've looked at the contacts menu in forever since I just sync to Google. Actually made me spot the xml issue

I noticed back when I had my Galaxy Ace that some ROMs had the option to export to SIM and others didn't... I think it was a touchwiz thing, but am not certain...
It is definitely a ROM thing tho....
Sorry I couldn't help.

Hello,
I`m new, so be gentle. I have a little problem with my SGS2 Social Hub Email. It works just fine with the "push email"/premium thing, but i cannot acces my email folders like "Sent"/"Work". For example, i click on the "inbox" tab and go to "Sent" folder. On the bottom of the screen i get "Refreshing" message and after few seconds it dissapears leaveing a black screen (no messages). I have a Google and a Yahoo account. This thing happens with both.
So what is the problem?! Help!
Well if you haven't sent any message/email it would remain blank, I mean it won't get synchronized with server, I am having the same issue, don't know if this is normal or not.
Regards.
I don`t think it`s normal. If so, then what`s the point showing the folders, but not the emails. Let`s say I send a message from my computer and later I wish to resend it, this time from my phone. Where am I suppose to find the message ?!
Surprinzingly, after trying and trying, one of the folders got synced. Do not know how, do not know why it`s the only one that synced. It`s not like it has something different than the other folders.
There must be something we`re missing...
Well I found it, its not there in Sent folder but in Gmail/Sent folder, thats because I am using Gmail, you could have different with other email client. Now one thing I noticed, the above is applicable when you select Non Premium/POP/IMAP account, but if you select it then there will be three things missing,
1- No Sent folder. I mean the above.
2- No option of 'Load more messages'. Thats damn boring, how to get rid of that?
3- There is No Outgoing server settings.
But the good point is the Sent Emails will be shown in default Sent folder.
But as there are more negatives than positives, I am good with Standard mode rather than Premium.

I there anyway to have a button / icon on the homescreen that directly opens the dialer. So that I don't have to open the dialer via contacts then scroll the tab left. I can't find a shortcut or widget that does it. Have done a few searches but to no avail. Any help provided would be gratefully received.
+1 to this.
I'm thoroughly confused by this question. There's an app called "phone dialer".
there's an app called phone, but it opens the phone app at contacts, not the dialer.
Okay - I guess we have different firmware that have different apps then. When you scroll the tabs to the left to get to the dialer, does it not remember that next time you open the app?
Alternatively, and if you'd be happy with a 3rd party replacement, look at GO Contacts. It installs as both a contacts app and a dialer, and really is very good. I'm all over GO apps at the minute!
I just use the free "no lock" screen app, then all you have to do is press the dialler button once the phone wakes up.

If you don't know what facepalm means then just google it. As for why, read the thread properly.
Ohh, yes my mistake jumping to conclusions, so many threads and so little time,
You could have told me a little more subtly and saved my embarrassment.

Hello all,
So I hate repetitiveness in the UI so I have swapped the dedicated VM button with an "goto/initiate SMS" button. We already have a voicemail button by pressing or dialing one why do we need two?

Glad to see you around here
very cool.
Any chance you can make the dialer numbers scalable as well? (for alternate DPI?)
Forcing the log button to stick on what you want logged would be great too. Right now, if you hit log or the press the green phone button, you get a log of all calls and SMS messages. You can switch it in the menu but it reverts right back to log all. I loved how my cappy would show you logs of just the phone calls made/recieved.
Nice + 1 setimg up now

Hate to ask but how do i install this? I tried uninstalling contacts in titanium backup and restarting first, but when I tried to install the apk it just said "not installed", I do have unknown sources allowed in settings.

Place it in system/app (to replace the existing one) via root explorer (and fix the permissions to match everything else in the folder, rw-r-r).
Is this for stock?

This does not work on a stock/rooted phone. Maybe on a custom rom but pushed it on a stock phone and the SMS button takes me to voicemail.
This might sound like silly question, but I couldn't find auto-sync setting on my XT910. Last week I upgraded it to the official 2.3.6 update, and today after installing a battery saving app, suddenly I didn't receive any email at all for the whole day, the new emails could only show up when I tapped refresh manually in the Gmail app, I decided to uninstall that problematic app but the issue still persisted, so I tried to look for the Auto-sync setting but I couldn't. I have a Galaxy S II too and I know so well that the setting in question is in "Account and Sync", but in my RAZR, there's only "Account" which doesn't contain Auto-sync checkbox, I looked for in "Data manager" as well, but there's only "Background data" checkbox. Up until now new emails still aren't being pushed to my RAZR, I really suspect that the app turned off my Auto-sync and didn't turn it back on.
Could anyone please help me? It's driving me nuts
P.S.: the culprit app is Easy Battery Saver, also FYI I didn't apply any mod to my RAZR, only updated to 2.3.6 as offered by Motorola
settings->account->[email protected]> sync docs, contacts, gmail, calendar are all inside.
P.S. Juicedefender is more stable.
Hi, I had tried that before, but somehow the checkboxes on the right have disappeared
please help

There's ways of doing it using the 'Activities' shortcuts offered by the likes of ADW & LauncherPro, but you can also use Smart Actions to disable background data, then enter the market. It'll pop up saying background data needs to be enabled, and take you right there.

I've been trying to search but haven't found anything on this issue. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a number of apps that appeared on my All Apps list without me ever even installing them.

The two by martetrut and the casino one. I tried searching my phone for any trace of these apps and found nothing other than their appearance on this list.
Today, I looked at my list and now more mystery apps have appeared, with another app by that martetrut dev.
I downloaded lookout and Norton and ran several scans and they didn't pick up anything.... I'm a little concerned.
Anyone have any idea on what's causing this or had a similar experience? I'd appreciate any help/input.
If it matters, I'm completely stock.

Someone may be using your account to download apps. go to play.google.com on your computer, click on the gear in the upper right corner and go to My Orders & Settings.
The Orders tab can show you when the apps in question were downloaded.
Click on the Settings Tab and look under devices to make sure only your phone is listed.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to delete or unauthorize a device, but at least you'll know if someone else is causing those apps to show up or not.
Best thing to do is change your account password.

Yes, this was my first thought. I would guess someone is using your account to download apps on another device.
as other users said, it's probably someone else using your account.
maybe you gave/sold your old android phone to someone without wiping data.
btw, changing your password can be a good solution
