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...

Hello to all,
I have a Atrix and am moving to a Samsung Galaxy S-2 for many reasons, on AT&T. My Primary Email is Roadrunner and My secondary is Gmail. Unfortunately, there appears to be no App similiar to "Blackberry Desktop Manager" that does similar on Android, and I need to get some help with "How To" Move my Email, Text, SMS and other Messaging from the Atrix to the SGS-2.
When I open the Contact or Address Book Icon, on the Atrix it shows, "450" Contacts-( On the Atrix) Im hopeful, Ill be able to save that as well.
I was hoping I could find some help here from one of the Senior XDA Members, as to what I need to do.
Thank you in advance!

Contacts - should be synced to your Google account unless you've been storing them incorrectly on the Atrix. Log into Gmail and check to make sure your contacts are all there. If they are, you should be able to sync right up the moment you add your Google account on the GS2.
SMS and Call Logs - I use SMS Backup and Restore and Call Logs Backup and Restore from Ritesh Sahu. You'll need to pull the XML files from the Atrix's SD card after doing a backup
Apps - Titanium Backup will let you backup your apps, then "restore missing apps" on the GS2.
Emails - Gmail is stored on the server, if Roadrunner is IMAP, the same deal should apply

I have an Atrix but I'm here because I'm considering making the same move. I'd be interested to hear why you switched if you're willing to share.
As far as your contacts, if you go into Contacts then Settings, what is 'Contact Storage' set to? I'm wondering if they're really on the phone?
I see an 'export to sd card' option (hit menu while in contacts). It will supposedly dump them all into a .vcf file on your sd card. You should be able to import that into Gmail's contacts and then they just show up on your SGS2.
Good luck!
I did some searching and the only related threads I can see involve account & sign in issues which this is not. I'm not getting the error message telling me that I need to sign in. The problem I'm having is that when I attempt to upload an image to Picasa my albums are not listed where you would select an existing album to upload to. I also am unable to click the '+' symbol that allows you to create a new album to upload to. When I go into my Gallery to browse folders I can select Picasa from the drop down and all of my folders are there and my account is still sync'd in the accounts section of settings. So... it's seeing the account and the images already there no problem. The issue is with uploading specifically. I tried to un-sync and re-sync my Picasa account in settings as well as rebooting and various combinations and nothing seems to help. I'm running the stock ROM but the phone is rooted. I attempted to load the GB Gallery which is related but I don't think was the cause of this because I ran into it in the past on customer ROMs on other devices. I always just chalked it up to a bug in the ROM and never was able to solve it. Now that I'm on the stock ROM there really isn't much of an excuse for this.
Anyone have a fix or any advice for this? I use this a lot so I miss not having it when I just had it the other day.
Thanks for the help!
I've had this problem always with ICS. My main google account doesn't show the list of albums. Where my secondary one does show the coupld it has.. I have been unable to figure it out :/.
Why don't you just use auto upload in google+. It is basically doing what you want to do except it does it automatically. Auto upload creates a folder that only you can see in your picasa web albums, you can then either move the image to a public folder or just share the image via link. If you just want to share one picture you can do it via email or the google plus app as well.

I don't want to keep all of the pictures l take though. More importantly I don't see option to move the pictures to albums from the google plus app.

After further research it appears as though it's an Android bug. If you have another type of account sync'd it will confuse Picasa and you won't be able to see your folders or login/upload. For instance, say your Google account is the following email address:
[email protected]
and your DropBox account username is the same thing:
[email protected]
This will cause a conflict for some reason when it comes to Google being able to log you in and it will fail. For me I think it was my DropBox account which uses the same email as my Google account so it was causing issues. I tested this w/o having my DropBox account sync'd or even installed and w/o fail I can now access my Picasa folders and upload w/o issue.
Google needs to address this bug. That's all their is to it. This is a stupid error that shouldn't be too difficult to address and it's creating heartache for customers since most won't know why it's not working the way it just should be. It also seems that the last thing Google wants is people going back to their old email accounts for sign-in and notifications from various products. This is counter-productive for all their efforts to date.
FIX THIS GOOGLE!

That's not really the point. Android shouldn't be denying login to DropBox so that I as the consumer can use whatever services available to me that I wish to use.
I agree it's silly to have that kind of error with the same email.
I just found an app PicasaTool that lets me upload to my picasa account correctly. So for now I guess I will use that.

I'm just not comfortable giving 3rd parties my username and password so I will just change my Dropbox email and use the built in functionality with this as a workaround until such time that Google sees fit to address this bug.
Understandable. It doesn't ask for UN/PW by the way. It just uses the coin authentication thing.

I use PhotoSync by Akira soumi.
Simple app that syncs at a time I specify (8am) so that my dcim folder on phone, dcim on tablet and picasa are all three synced everyday

Several months further and on ICS (4.0.4) it wasn't fixed. JB is coming for my phone (SGSII) this month. Let's hope JB fixes this bug.
For now my solution is: changed the email of my dropbox and deleted facebook apps, doing everything on the mobile website now.

I have the exact same problem. I have looked into every setting to find out what it can be but to no avail. Try to see if you can send it over wi-fi, cause I can, as soon as I'm on mobile data the problem starts, and I know it's not carrier related have tested different carries and phones and all OK accept this one.
I'm beginning to think it may be a problem with the stock mail app, don't know about other guy's, but I'll see if this thread can help with the problem, or else I'm just going to try K-9 or something and see if that solves the problem.
I cannot send also via wifi , dropbox also cannot upload . Sometimes it does but 100/1 chance
Thank you for reply .
email sending problem
Hello ,
I've also this strange problem.
It doesn't matter which eMail account, Application (standard/K9) or network (provider/WiFi) I use, I get to 95% the message, that the email is to large.
New is, that I get this message now also on eMails with just only text inside, means no attachments.
I searched everything through, no solution.
So, the S3 is useless.
Anybody fixed this?
attachment not going using Gmail on my Galaxy S3
Please help. While composing new mail I can attach files to my mail. But it's actually not going to the recipient.
If sending from hotmail it's working perfectly.
Using S3 international version.
Hi,
Same problem here and cant seem to find an answer anywhere?
I am able to send emails without attachments on 3g or wifi with no issues, I can send emails with attachments on wifi. However I cannot send emails with attachments on 3g file size 1mb, I have tried gmail and active sync with no luck.
I can also receive emails with attachments with no issue on 3g and wifi?
Any help appreciated on this as cant seem to figure out what's causing it, tried several roms all with same problem, currently running XXDLIB.
Can't attach files from external memory card to email.
Trouble attaching files to emails with my new Galaxy S3.
If I use Gmail's file attachment option, the only choices I get are Gallery and Dropbox. Shouldn't there be an option for me to use the "My Files" App to browse to the location of the file that I want?
If I start with the "My Files" App and browse to my External SD Card and to the file I want and then press and hold the file, I get a dialog that will allow me to "Share Via". If I choose Gmail it will place the attachment on the email. However, the attachment doesn't go with the email and there are no errors to let you know that it did not go.
If I perform the same steps and browse to a location on the Internal Storage and choose "Send Via" the file attaches and successfully transmits with the email.
It seems that the phone cannot attach files from an external SD Card. Could this be true?

Hi all -
My mom just inherited an AT&T Samsung Galaxy II (rooted, OS ICS 4.0.3, Build IML74K.117) and I am trying to move her contact from her SIM to her phone or, even better sync with her Gmail account.
From the Contacts app, I'm opening the menu and selecting SIM Management, then choosing Copy Contacts From SIM and selecting the option of the Gmail account (I've also tried selecting the Phone option as well). Instead of going to the screen where I can choose the contacts to copy, the phone just goes back to the SIM Management screen. (I took a screenshot of it but it's been 8 minutes and the text is still in Send mode on her phone.)
Any ideas on what is preventing me from being able to move the contacts? My next move is to take it back to stock and see if that doesn't help but that's really a last resort and something I'm trying to avoid.
Thanks in advance!
Lauren
Can you see the contacts when you log into her Gmail account on a computer?

Hi, thanks for responding...
No, because she is coming from a stone-age phone and has never had anything linked to her Gmail account before, which is also new. So in this case, I'm attempting to transfer the SIM contacts to her phone/Gmail account in order to A) get them on the phone in a more unified manner and B) sync with Gmail so that she now has an online backup of her contacts. She's coming from a Motorola Razr circa 2005. For real.
I couldn't say for sure, but the problem could be that the format in which the Razr stored the contacts is not being read by the SGS2 which is kicking you back out of the menu.
This is probably an old thread but no Gmail sync along with cannot send mms, indicate that you probably have no internet access.
Make sure you do have first, either wifi or mobil data turn on

Nope, the format is universal and can be read by pretty much any phone.
