Android and MobileMe compatibility?

Guys, I'm on the verge of jumping ship from an iPhone 4 to a One X (when released). But my only problem may be the fact that I have a MobileMe account - Mail, Calendar, Contacts etc - which I really can not afford to lose.
I need the possible new HTC to be able to do all that the iPhone does with MobileMe on the iPhone - Push Mail, Cal and Contacts. Is this possible?
I know some people have setup GMail accounts instead, but due to business needs I really cannot afford to change accounts right now.
Sorry guys. Have I asked a mega stupid question that no one wants to answer? Or is it because no one knows?
It's not gonna sync with iCloud and going from iPhone to Android is like downgrading from a BMW to a broke down scooter.
MobileMe is completely proprietary in the sense that it will only work with apple products nothing else, email has a chance of working but it will be fairly stripped down as it's not gmail. Also ignore the troll above me, not allowing you to use something you pay for on anything you want is just another one of the many many reasons to leave apple products.

You don't pay for iCloud, it's free. There is no reason to leave Apple for Android seeing how the OS is a fragmented mess. You have a better chance of winning a pottery then getting a timely update from an OEM.
Thanks for the replies guys
I've been doing some research and have had some help from other places, and it seems that MobileMe can be sync'ed but with the assistance of other desktop apps.
If these work well, then I will take the leap.
Alex2792, I would have agreed with your "downgrade" comment a year ago. But having seen some of these new Android phones in full flow... well, no restrictions, far cheaper, far more modifiable - it makes sense to
how i got contacts from mobileme
this is my solution.
1. login to mobileme
2. go to address book
3. select all entries in your address book
4. under setting select export contact
5. connect your HTC phone to your mac in disk mode (found under setting within the connect to PC menu)
6. once connected, open finder and copy your vcards.vcf file from your mac to the mounted phone's downloads directory
7. after copy is completed, disconnect phone
8. restart phone (I had to do this for the storage device to find the file)
9. open contacts on HTC phone
10. open contacts settings (top right corner)
11. select to import contact from phone storage
12. import should begin and all contact will be found under under in contacts under "phone"
a status window popped up showing the percentage complete until all 350 contacts were added. I got pics, email addresses, and names without issue.
HTH

I really don't understand this fragmented crap.
I have a 2 yearold HTC EVO4G which I've been completely happy with. It runs android 2.3.5, without any noticable bugs. I have decent battery life (newer phones have better due to better displays, and not using a 60nm chip), can run any app on the market, and can do all sorts of things that I can't do on iphone (such as change a freaking default browser). I use the go launcher, which is freaking pretty, and has all kinds of new fanciful effects. I don't even have the original launcher installed anymore. My contacts, photos and videos are automagically uploaded and backed up on google plus, dropbox, my desktop, and my netbook.
I have a very good experience on my "fragmented" phone.
Ignoring the obvious troll, I too have switched from android to iphone back to android and then iphone and am back to android. Since google backs up all your app data (who needs call logs backed up?) and there is an app to backup your texts, well I don't see any reason to blast google.
Also, do some research, there are some desktop appear that can help you switch everything over. Although it sounds like you've already done that.
For instance:
Dropbox will automatically upload your pictures to yourself and every device that has your account installed.
Google backs up all apps just like iOs.
You can most certainly have push email with android that is not gmail based. There are a ton of email clients in the play store.

Which app for manage client?

Hi,
a friend of mine bought a few days ago a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" to manage his clients (he's a doctor).
He started to build his contact library (he doesn't have an android phone and no gmail contacts) adding name, surname, eventually mail and phone number and in the "Note" field he wrote all the note he'd taken. BUT this field has a characters' limit, and he can't add even a letter anymore (for the most visited client of course).
I tried to search for an app for this purpose but I can't find anything. I don't even search ONLY an app, it can be enough another method using the in-build feature of the tablet and android.
I searched for some CRM app, but most of them are ugly (since it's not a power user the more simple and clean is the better) and not optimized for a tablet. I found Insightly, but it's only online, and if he does'nt have a wifi network around he can't, not only record the new data, but also access to the old ones! They MUST be always available.
I thought about a simple folder + text file in G Drive, but these are only online too. Dropbox, too.
If it can interact with the G Mail contacts (the Note field is very useful at this) it would be wonderful, otherwise he'll build up his library with his contacts.
How can I do to have these data always on the tablet (cloud sync is not absolutely necessary)??? Any idea for an app or an alternative method?
Thanks!
nobody??
He bought a tablet to use for work, without any idea on how he would use it for work or if it would even do what he wanted? If he throws money around like that, why not recommend him to get an app written for his company and it's needs. There are many app developers who design and write custom apps for clients.

[Q] Sync Apps (NOT App Data - actual Apps) across devices

Hi all,
I own three android devices, a (more compact) Galaxy S3, for using when going out to more formal and elegant events (as it hides away better in a suit pocket or my wife's purse) or situations where I want my phone to be less obtrusive, the Samsung Note 2, which is my workhorse, use it daily all over, as well as a Note 3 (the tablet, when I need screen space, or are taking more serious/longer notes, edits, reading books/articles etc, etc).
I have different apps on the different devices, but would like to sync the apps. NOT the APP DATA - that's simple with Google and/or cloud integration etc. I'm talking about the actual apps. In other words, say I'm at the restaurant, and a friend and I are discussing something relating to photos (since we just took a pic and uploaded to FB), and I install an app that we discover....I'd like that app to automatically install to my other phone and my tablet.
Anyone have any suggestions? Whenever I search for "sync" of any type, including various ther words, I always get to advice on syncing your app data via Google or Kies or other cloud services etc.
Thanks all

[Q] Gear S Backup and Restore

I see that my Gear S is set to automatically backup periodically. When this happens, it significantly drains my battery. is there a way to either disable this backup process or have the Gear S only backup when plugged in?
more questions on back-up & restore
on a semi-related issue - if i buy a new Samsung phone and paired that to my Gear S, (or vice versa), where are all my contacts, diary entries, apps and other stuff?
yeah I understand they get wiped - but is there anyway to save then somewhere - using Kies?? - the sim card ??, a memory card??
After a few trials & errors i decided to save everything to the Samsung account, but for better or worse that doesn't seem to work like say ahem iCloud - should i "backup" to the sim & turn off if possible Gear S backup facility as the OP seems to be asking ---- but there seems to be no facility to bulk change prior entries to "save to sim" or "memory card"
Pairing the watch and the phone over BT or when further away via my samsung account via 3G does seem to be now working very well - thanks to what I've learned here - but what exactly is my samsung account - when I registered initially I was able to add the S4 as a device but not the Gear S - now I'm directed to hot deals on microwaves etc when i log in
I haven't noticed such a battery drain backing up (by BT presumably) but my use case aspirations for the Gear S does involve the hope that the liberation of one device on my wrist (+/- the host phone somewhere else) might significantly reduce my very expensive data usage - disciplining me to restrict checking emails or browsing to wifi at home or at work - so far so good ... but will the downside be having to type in my contacts diary events and re-download the apps every time I change one of the devices or I have to perform a hard reset on the watch-phone to try to overcome some glitch?
thanks
There is no way to enter new contacts on Gear S. It gets whatever your phone get. So, the question is how do you transfer your contacts between your phones. It seems to me you are still living in stone ages. If you use any of the services like GMail or Outlook.com (from MS), you should already save your contacts in one of those cloud services. So no matter what phone you are on, they are always there. I won't trust saving to Samsung account. What happens when you move to a non-Samsung phone? You can't retrieve them anymore. Samsung account only works on Samsung phones.
Seems like my backups are happening around 12 pm. I'd like to schedule them to occur at night when I have the Gear S plugged in.
Is the backup setting for the Gear S linked to another backup setting on my Galaxy Note 4?
Thanks
....I understand I can't enter contacts on the phone
....I still don't understand what my Samsung account is, whether it does save my contacts/calendars somewhere however unreliably - I don't like being "locked in" to anyone but will continue to be locked into Samsung while the Gear S continues to fulfil its promise and exceed expectations (despite the difficult learning curve, deficiencies in the implementation and support and being somewhat underwhelmed by the Galaxy user interface)
....I do still use iCloud for better or worse for personal stuff, (not sure thats relevant here) but would rather avoid Gmail (i did reactivate an old gmail account to play around with some of the services / apps on the Galaxy)
.... ditto - outlook.com - I'd rather not go back there either but would do if it is then relatively easy to sync my outlook contacts and calendar(s) (when in wifi) with the samsung Galaxy apps that sync with the Gear S via Gear Manager
I can use iCloud or my work outlook whenever I'm at my desk or on wifi (or dollar gobbling phone tethering or mobile broadband dongle)
- yes in outback Australia I am kind of living in the stone age - often away from wifi or even a phone signal, having to wait weeks/months whenever i move house / location to transfer over my broadband account, figure out what to do when i travel abroad etc
so yes i have heard of and can use these cloud based services but often not 24/7 365 days a year so I'm still having to consider the best way to get the contacts onto the "master" phone with some degree of preseverence / transferability so that they are physically there on the gear S
sorry if i've missed an obvious point / solution or overcomplicated that -- i just tried creating a new contact and the choices are save to Samsung Account Device SIM or my recently reluctantly reactivated google account
thanks
If privacy is not a big concern for you, I don't see what you don't embrace those cloud services. It is very convenient to sync multiple devices at the same time. You don't need them to be perfectly on 24/7. It only needs to be on when you first sync to your phone. The contacts will remain on your phone even if the service is down afterwards. You can sync them to your phone, tablets and PCs.
The could services allow you to store multiple phone numbers per contact as well as photo, mailing address and email address etc.
Here are pros and cons of what you have listed:
1. SIM cards: only one phone number per entry. Multiple phone numbers for the same contact requires multiple entries. Can store phone numbers only. If SIM card dies, so are all your contacts.
2. iCould: works best with Apple devices. Not so much with others (although you can find work arounds).
3. Google: works best with Android devices. But also works on other platforms like Windows and iOS. If you use Android device, you will have to sign in with a Google account anyway. So you will be synced with Google contacts regardless you use it or not.
4. Outlook: works best with Windows Phone and Windows PC. But also works on other platforms like Android and iOS. If you use Windows devices, you will have to sign in with a Microsoft account anyway and synced with the contacts.
5. Samsung: as far as I know, it only works with Samsung Android phone and Android tablets.
I often use my desktop PC to edit and input contact information and it then syncs to cloud and to the devices. Very convenient.

Windows11: 21 services you can safely turn off

FAX — As its name suggests, this is a service needed only if you want to send and receive faxes. If you’re not going to use, which may be the case for most people, disable it.
AllJoyn Router Service — This is a service that lets you connect Windows to the Internet of Things and communicate with devices such as smart TVs, refrigerators, light bulbs, thermostats, etc. If you’re not using these or don’t connect Windows to them, go ahead and turn it off.
Secondary logon — This service lets you log on to a standard account with admin privileges and run specific applications. It is triggered to start when a program is set to ‘Run as different user’ from the extended context menu. But if you are the sole user of your PC, then go ahead and disable this.
Connected User Experiences and Telemetry — If you’re concerned with privacy and don’t want to send usage data to Microsoft for analysis, then this service is one to go. Though some would say that such assessment of data is important to improve Windows on the whole, disabling it doesn’t affect normal usage and, frankly, one less data bundle wouldn’t bring the house down.
Program Compatibility Assistant Service — Unless you’re still using legacy software on your Windows 11 PC, you can easily turn off this service. This service lets you detect software incompatibility issues for old games and software. But if you’re using programs and apps built for Windows 10 or 11, go ahead and disable it.
Device Management Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Push message Routing Service — This service is another service that helps to collect and send user data to Microsoft. Strengthen your privacy by disabling it, it is recommended that you do so.
Windows Mobile Hotspot Service — As the name suggests, this service is needed if you’re sharing your mobile’s internet connection with your PC. But if you don’t remember the last time you connected to a mobile hotspot service, you may look to disable it entirely.
Remote Desktop Configuration and Remote Desktop Services — These two services let you connect to other PCs in the vicinity. If you don’t need remote connectivity, disable these two services.
Remote Registry — This service lets any user access and modify the Windows registry. It is highly recommended that you disable this service for security purposes. Your ability to edit the registry locally (or as admin) won’t be affected.
Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service — As the name tells, this service facilitates touch keyboard and handwriting input for touch-enabled screens. So unless you have one of those, go ahead and disable it.
Windows Insider Service — Disable this service only if you’re not in the Windows Insider program. Currently, as Windows 11 is only available through it, you shouldn’t disable it. But if you’re on the final and stable version of Windows and are not testing upcoming features, disabling it shouldn’t be a problem.
Windows Image Acquisition — This service is important for people who connect scanners and digital cameras to their PC. But if you don’t have one of those, or are never planning on getting one, disable it by all means.
Windows Connect Now — This service is mainly meant for laptops and computers that need to connect to wireless networks and devices (camera, printers, and other PCs). But if you have a desktop setup without a wireless card, you won’t need this service and can disable it safely.
Windows Defender — This may raise some eyebrows, but we’re only recommending turning this off only and only if you have an antivirus that’s protecting your system. If that’s the case, Windows Defender would virtually be inactive anyway, as the third-party antivirus would act as your primary threat protection. Disabling Windows Defender at that point would help you free up valuable resources, without compromising the security of your device.
Downloaded Maps Manager — Do you use Bing Maps? Chances are that most of you rely on Google Maps built within your favorite browser and can’t care for Bing Maps. So find this unnecessary service and make sure that it’s disabled.
Parental Control — Again, the name says it all – this service allows parents to put restrictions on what their kids are accessing on the internet. But, as with many things brought with Vista, this is obsolete if you know how to filter content for your kids on the browser itself. Also, if you don’t have any kids around, that’s an obvious reason to keep this service disabled.
Xbox Services — Do you use the Xbox app to play games? If not, then you don’t need any of the Xbox services. These include the ‘Xbox Accessory Management Service’, ‘Xbox Live Auth Manager’, ‘Xbox Live Game Save’, and ‘Xbox Live Networking Service’. These won’t affect your daily use unless you do use the Xbox app on your PC. In that case, don’t touch these.
Security Center — This is another one of those services that only advanced users should turn off. The functionalities of this service are crucial – it scans the system for issues and keeps you posted about the system’s health, including pending updates, whether or not an antivirus is installed, UAC notifications, and other such messages you receive in the system tray. If you know how to check for these issues on your own, you can disable the service without any problems. If, however, you’re not sure how to check your system’s health, leave this one alone.
Print Spooler — Connected to the printer in the past few months? If not, then this service is useless to you. Go ahead and disable it if you’re not planning on using a printer anytime soon.
Portable Device Enumerator Service — This service is needed for making group policy changes for removable drives and to synchronize content for applications like Windows Media Player and Image Import Wizard on the removable drive. If these don’t mean anything to you, go ahead and disable it. Rest assured, it won’t affect your regular thumb drive use.
Retail Demo Service — Finally, this service is only meant for vendors and retailers who have to showcase the PC and Windows features for customers. Of course, a regular user would never need to use such a service, and so can disable it without any consequences.
