Hi all,
I am really tempted by the Nokia 8 and I'd like to get some more details.
Personally I prefer not to share with google my contacts, images, etc and I am not sure that with Nokia 8 it is possible since, If I understood right, it's a stock android.
So my questions are:
Is it possible to save my contacts, images and so on only on my phone without sync them with the google cloud?
If yes, is there a way to sync the phone with ms outlook and my desktop pc?
Thanks for your help

Yes, you can store contacts and images only on the phone. About Outlook syncing, Googling is your best friend. I would suspect that it's possible.

Good news then!
I googled for the "outlook sync" thing. So far, I did not find a solution but I keep searching.
I also looked for an app to backup contacts and the log of the calls to my pc (something like samsung "smart switch") but I did not find anything. I suspect that there's no such app (?)

Has anyone gotten the premium services on the new myphone to work. i tried the ring function but, it seems to work cause my phone lights up to signal sumthin is about to come in but the phone never rings. The map feature just doesn't work @ all, it never seems to be able to locate the phone..anyone else tried using this features???
http://sn1-p1.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Help.po?url=e536c44e-45e4-4347-a2a4-5ddbe50ce63e.htm
it looks like you can only get a location at the exact moment with the premium service otherwise its the location where u last synced which seems useless
Guys please clearify this for me:
Is the content from MyPhone available to apply/download to any other, new device I sync with that?
Let's say I buy X2 and sync with MyPhone: will I be able to get all of my contacts calendar sms etc. from the cloud to a new device?!

Yes. That is how I have been using the program. You'd be able to have the exact same messages/contacts and such between both phones as you sync through the same account.

Hell everyone,
I tried using search to find a solution for this but I havn't been able to. I am currantly about to install a custom ROM. I have downloaded Hardspl and isntalled it on the phone. But after watching the who to install a custom ROM i found out that all my contacts and sms will be deleted. I tried to save through sync but i don't have outlook on my computer and therefore cant save them that way. I was wondering how do I save my contacts and sms without using outlook. I have installed NS Contacts Backup v1.2 but I can't find the file assosiated with contacts and sms'. IS there another way I can back up my contacts and sms before installing the custom ROM??
Thanks
I think that you will find what you search here
I second PIMBU
MS MyPhone online backup.

hmm.. I have similar problem....I need to transfer contacts from my old P910i(yes, Symbian device) to my X1.
Anyone knows how?
I cant even copy contacts to SIM card since it can be copied only one-by-one, and I have really A LOT of contacts, so it would take a great deal of time.
Any suggestion ??

1. MyPhone through the internet
2. Best solution: use free PIMBackup by FdcSoft.
Great free app making backup of data to your storage card, restorable any time.
Backups contacts, sms, mail, calendar, tasks etc.......

Symbian phones should allow for select all > copy from Phone to SIM.
I should know, I shifted from a 5700XM (S60) to Xperia (excluding the retarded stopgap LG Arena in the middle.)

Oh please. How can you store 1000 contacts to SIM?
With multiple data like email, many numbers, address?
The only way from P910 to X1 is Outlook,
that's what I did from P1 to X1.
You can sync contacts, calendar, notes, tasks.
Beware: better sort all the contacts the way they're present in Outlook/WM phones or you'll loose some data,
like multiple MOBILE numbers: WM accepts just one mobile, on UIQ you could add as many as you want....

How was I to know you had so many contacts? I have 122 each with address, email, mobile, house number, and everything transferred fine.
If you want to save yourself trouble, get an Nokia E75.
I am considering buying Galaxy Note, but there is one issue I haven't been able to clear so far:
How compatible are the GN calendar (s-planner), memo (s-memo) and contacts with Outlook and Google calendar? Can I synchronize between GN and Outlook calendar and contacts? Are the s-memo notes transferred to PC and if so, can they be exported to any other format (Outlook memo? MS Onenote? Evernote? ASCII text? Graphics?)
I have already had Palm PDAs (with the Palm Desktop on PC), then WinMobile devices (with Outlook) and got quite used to the comfort of being able to view and edit contacts, schedules and memos on both PC and the mobile device. If GN doesn't allow this, this would be a serious downside for me.
Everything is synced with Google. If your Outlook syncs with google then it shouldnt be a problem with the calander and contacts. You can add s-memos to calander events, but if you dont do that, then you have to manually sync s-memo things to Google Docs. But other than that its completely autonomous. There are also a lot of apps that do what you want. I would recommend buying a Note.
syncs fine with hotmail, exchange, google and facebook.
I initially had an odd scenario where hotmail gained some facebook calendar events (birthdays) but that seems to have resolved itself.
Thank you for the answer.
It has been written somewhere that the latest version of S-Memo can also synchronize with Evernote. Can anyone confirm that? And if so, does it just send the content as an image or does it retain some more formatting (text? www links? etc.)

sync works with evernote but it send the notes as images.
I am a sync-o-phile (oo-er, sounds a bit rude), always have been.
I now have my calendar and contacts synced with Google & Outlook using and App called Sync2 from www.sync2.com. It seems to work fine, although can fail when outlook is closed and it is still alive (I close Outlook to sleep my PC or Outlook can crash). I sync it and several other web calendars at the same time.
I also have my Outlook to do list sync to ToodleDo, and then to Due Today both on my PC and my phone. It uses Outlook categories as Project names, which is neat. I have not tried linking with the Notes To Do list as this seems peculiar to the Note, and I want a more general solution.
I like that Google/Samsung now seems to carry over Outlook categories for contacts in the Note. That means I can use them properly.
I use Evernote to sync all my notes as it is far more powerful than the Google notes thing, and more generic. I also love the ability to open a file, edit it, and save again, and it updates the note.
I use Basecamp on my PC, phone, and the web for managing projects and collaborating with customers.
For files I use SugarSync, and it syncs with up to 3 devices, up to 2GB for free, and I typically just ignore it an expect my files to be wherever I am.
Odd thing is that I have noticed several contacts getting images from other sources I never asked to look up. I presume Facebook. This is bloody annoying. Does anyone know how to stop it?

This is quite possible. I have also noticed the same behaviour on my WinMobile phone (HTC Touch Pro2), so it is not directly an Android related issue. And yes, the images for my contacts that appeared suddenly without my consent, are the same as their Facebook profile images.
Got a Note!
You've managed to give me the information I needed and finally I bought a Note!
So far I have been able to confirm:
Synchronizing Smemo with Google Docs - works great, text remains text, while images are embeded in the document
Exporting contacts from Outlook to KIES worked "sort of", while exporting to Gmail and back to Note worked great. I have managed to retain all the information and even code page (I used ASCII, not Unicode) worked as expected.
Exporting calendar from Outlook to Gmail and back to Note worked almost perfectly (apart from some inconsistencies which were due to duplicate entries in Outlook)
As for contact photos, it seems that only those which originate from Facebook are added to contact data.

I got all my contact photos from way back, and those must have come through from Outlook -> Google -> Note as Outlook is the only constant source since I was first able to do this (with my Sony Clie)
Perhaps in my case Outlook photos would also have been added through Google, but I exported/imported them via a .csv file, which didn't retain photos, only text data.
My outlook contact photos sync perfectly.

I have my Nexus 7 but no Contacts data there. Also got a Nexus 4 and would like the Contacts synched between my Nexus 4,7 and Outlook on my PC.
How would I go about this?
Thanks,
Jon

I think that google sync is no longer a viable option. As of December 14th you can no longer download it. See link below.

Try CompanionLink.
Daniel
CompanionLink costs money and is very hit and miss with Outlook data. The method in the link I posted is THE best way to sync Oulook with an Android phone, costs nothing, syncs contacts, calendar and e-mail and does not cut off any data or fields. It also avoids Google's cloud if that matters to you.

I am using CompanionLink since years and had never a problem with it.
You can wipe all contacts on your Nexus, you can sync one way ( Outlook to Android or Android to Outlook ) or both ways,You can also sync via their Cloud , etc.
It synchronizes also your tasks (memos) and your journal.
But everyone has of course is own experience and opinion.
Daniel
Read some of the experiences with CL posted in the link. Some real horror stories with corrupted or lost Outlook data. Whatever floats your boat, if it works for you the you're the only one it has to please. I would still be more comfortable with a solution that comes from the same company that makes Outlook and is free, but to each his own.:good:
Hi Guys,
Just curious if anyone knows if they have a method of transferring contacts and photos and whatnot in store? I've been upgrading through HTC iterations and they have the p2p software for this. I don't know how it's going to be going from an M8 to a galaxy device and wondering if I should do it all myself tonight or if the guys at the store have something for me.
Really excited to get my device tomorrow!
Thanks in advance.
Samsung Smart Switch app is installed on the phone when you receive it.
I feel like I'm missing something here.
.
Do it yourself, should be automatic for the contacts.
One of the beauties of the Android/GMail/GDrive eco-system is automatic syncing of these things.
IOW, your contacts (& calendar entries & other stuff) should already be in your GMail. (check first, just to be safe)
When you register the new handset in Gmail, it will automatically sync your contacts, calendar entries, etc.
.
I'd use Drive to back up yer pics & vids. Open 'em up and check off all you wanna keep.
Then share with Drive. Easy peasy.

Haha no you're not missing something. I have everything auto-backing up through google's ecosystem. My issue was that I bought a Moto360 recently which forced me into using Google Hangouts. When I made the transition, literally 1/2 of my contacts stopped showing up - I only see phone numbers instead of names on quite a few text messages. Checking what I've synced w/ google, all my contacts with names are definitely there. But I've just been leery of trusting the cloud ever since. And maybe too lazy to dig and work out a solution. So I was hoping for some miracles to happen with some 3rd party transferring intervention. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I did have to download it from the play store but it works flawless. I've tried so many apps to back up and restore my messages from my note 3 to note 4 and all of them failed to restore my group mms correctly. This one did it correctly and a lot faster. I went with the back up / restore via SD card method. Thanks again!
