Hello everyone,
I have a new Galaxy 3 and i have some serious (for me) problems with it.
1) I copyed my contacts from my SIM to the phone and then after i entered
my gmail account it didnt sync the contacts with the gmail.
I go to account pressed sync, it did sync but my gmail account still aint have contacts.
Is there any special way to do it? cause from my experience android do it
automaticly.
2) Im from Greece and i need greek and english keyboard for different use.
I go to the setting of the keyboard and trying to select 2 languages but
it let me select only one. And in the keyboard there is no option to change language.
So every time i need to go into setting and change it.
Is there a way to fix this?
3) I go to mobile network setting and i dont see a setting that turns off the data.
I want to be able to turn on and off the data because some times i connect to
wifi networks with low signal and when i loose the signal it start automaticaly
to use my 3g.
is there a way to turn on and off the 3g data?
Thanx in advance.

ok, if you had an android before than maybe its just not displaying any contacts:
eclair: contacts->menu button (left one) display options, find google/gmail account and select to show
froyo: contacts->menu button->more->display options same as^
if you didnt have android before, and you want to have phone numbers in your account gmail account you have to copy them to it like you copied the sim contacts to ur phone.
if what you want to show email addresses and it is not showing then you go to display options (mentioned above) and deselect only with phone

if you are using swype (which i recommend if you are using samsung keyboard) you can change language by long pressing the letter q.
you can switch between input methods by long pressing a text box->input method.
another possibility is having one language on one keyboard and one on the other and switching between them, which could be useful (if your swype doesnt have greek and sam keyboard does)

If i remember correctly thats:
settings->wireless and networks->mobile networks-> deselect use packet data(or an option with a similar name)
I had before android phone but its irelavant.
I dont have contacts now in my email in gmail for my own reasons.
I go settings/ more / copy contacts / copy from sim to phone.
and this copies my contacts from sim to the phone.
Normally it should sync those contacts with my google account
but it doesnt.
Also there is no option to do it manualy.
As for third issue for the data. This phone dont have this option.
As i said i know where to go and look. Im familiar with android but
where you say this option is not there.
My other android phone (wildfire) has it.
more info on your phone please? like is it i5800 or i5801? what firware do you have (eclair or froyo).
im still a bit uncertain about what you want, you want phone numbers to be copied to gmail? preexisting phone numbers to be included? what?
if i find something in the meantime ill edit this post

Download APNDroid. It disables whole mobile network.
I had the same problem as you, had to check every second if the wireless connection had been lost, but not anymore
firmware 2.1 update 1
model GT-I5800
As for what i want to do i guess you are refering in problem no1.
So i put my SIM card on the phone. I copyed my SIM card contacts in my phone.
then i put my gmail email account in my phone.
I synced the phone with the email account.
From what i know my contact list in my email should get all the contacts i have in the phone.
So my contact list in my email is still empty while my phone has all my contacts.

By "It disables whole mobile network" you mean also the signal for call etc?
If so it wont help me
Nah, it just has an option to disable\enable internet access. Sorry for being a bit misleading
Another light weight option for switching on/off GPRS/3G is 'APN on/off widget' available in Android market..works very well for my G3.
the phone has different contact database for
1. sim
2. phone
3. google account
your phone will show all or one depending on your choice
you must copy from your phone contact to your google contacts
then when you sync it will be copied to google's servers

Recently bought a Touch HD and managed to sync my hotmail and the messenger on it. The very next day, it came up with the error message when I clicked Send/Receive "Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet COnnection. Pls check your internet settings and make sure that u have access to data services under your billing plan."
I managed to use Fring as an alternative for messaging, but is there a solution to the email problem?
did you check your internet settings? did you softreset your phone? if you did both, delete the account and then try again

What are the settings I should be looking out for? My internet explorer works fine on gprs. How do i delete the account? It seems im unable to do so.
when opening the account picker go over the account you want to delete and click the menu buttons in the bottom right and select delete. if this option is not there if suggest you erase all data using the clean memory link in the settings menu of your phone. then you can input your account again and start from scratch

I uninstalled a chinese font patch. I was just trying my luck..coz i found out that others were having the same problem with the CE software supplied with the phone. Even though the font patch i was using wasnt CE, it still prevented windows live from working. I guess I got to do without the Chinese software
If nothing works .. try this .. http://sollerthoughts.co.uk/2009/03...p-settings-for-hotmail-windows-live-services/
for some reason they keep saving to T-mobile. not google......
help please?
I'd like to know this as well, stupid T-Mobile. Why do we need our contacts backed up on your servers when Google does it for us.
This should have been posted in General but there is setting under add contact, at the top it says tmobile, right under the name, click he arrow next to it and choose google instead of tmobile and that will fix it. You will have to do it each time though!

While you are on the main page for contacts hit the menu button press more and it will give you a long list of all the contacts. Also if from the home screen you click menu/ settings/ accounts & sync and click on google you can tell it to sync with your contacts. Do this again for Tmobile and you can tell it not to.

The problem is that contacts are tied to EITHER T-Mobile or Google and T-Mobile is the default. All those contacts that were on my SIM card? They all went to T-Mobile. Maybe there is a way to move things around (and en mass), I hope so. Anyone?
I've found this while googling...works for me.
From People - Menu - View. Check Phone and uncheck Google. Then Export to SD card. This creates a vcf file of all the phone contacts.
Go back to View and uncheck Phone and check Google. Then Import from SD card. This imports the vcf file back in under Google.
You may have some duplicates if contacts were in both places. You can simply delete them. You should then be able to sync with GMail.
Once this is done, you should be able to also go back to Menu - View and reverse the check marks again and delete all the entries under Phone since they're now under Google too. Then uncheck Phone and recheck Google, so going forward you're only dealing w/Google contacts.
If you run into problems, you still have the vcf file on your SD card if you need to re-import.
Sorry if i repeating somebody.
I flash on my device wp7 rom and i can't humble few things.
1, an icon of "insert SIM contacts" is in my case unactive. I can't get contacts to my device.
2, connection to EDGE in my conditions is possible normaly, but now not. In web browser i'm not connected. It's a wrong way in setting data connection i thing. But browser and other programs want WiFi connection or defferent setting of data connect.
I'll glad to advice.
Thank advance!
Realy nobody?
With regards to contacts, never tried backing up from SIM, but open up a googlemail account and sync all your contacts from 6.5 to it first. At the mo this seems to be the only way I know of the import WM6.5 contacts into WP7.
With regards to your data connections check all the settings on your phone. You may need to manully add your carriers APN settings. You could also try flashing a different radio to see if that helps as well.
+1 Although for me the "insert contacts from sim" worked the third time i flashed WP7 to my HD2! The first 2 times i flashed wp7 i synced contacts via Google mail! Weird stuff!
I flash it again and take in a new radio but my internet connection still not work :-/
But contacts with google mail function good, thanks!
Don't you know, what can make this problem?

You might need to add your APN settings. It's in settings -> cellular (or Mobile operator)
You'll have to google to find out what your operators APN setting is.

no worries. i need to import my contacts from my phone to my sim card. need mega help
Remember that there is a limit to a) number of contacts on a SIM card and b) a limit to the amount of information "per contact" on the SIM card. When I tried it from my old Nokia (E71) to transfer contacts when I first got the DHD I basically got as list of names with phone numbers. No other information. This could be enough for you I suppose.
But why not get a basic Nokia and use it's PC Suite to sync that phone with your contacts? Presuming you have them in Outlook or Google?

the basic phone i have dun not comes with a data cable nor the port thus i can only rely on my sim card.
Try something like this .... http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.shao.Copy2SIM ... I have no idea how good that app is but there are more of a similar nature.
Dave
thanks for ur help dvhttn but unfortunately i have tried tat app, it does not work.
Does the second phone have bluetooth abilites?
Open contacts, press menu, there is a option to import/export from simcard, as simple as that
If you don't have too many contacts that you need to transfer to sim then you can open each contact individually, then press menu, then save to sim.

Seems to me that as you can't take advantage of the suggestions below that your work needs to look at this and provide you with the correct tools. If that means a new phone then they should do that. It shouldn't fall on you to provide the tools of your job.

Have you tried contact2sim (by happydroid) from the market?
Hi guys, I recently reinstalled windows from 7 to 7.5 but I lost all the contacts which I added onto my phone since I was on 7. There was no options that I saw to "save to sim card or save to phone" like most other phones out there so I dont know where they are saved.. I had a brain wave about the fact that the contacts were "linked" with my email account but there is only the emails saved. I am wondering if the numbers are saved somewhere or, each time I have to reinstall I will have to ask fro their numbers every time? Has anyone else had this happen?
Please let me know as I really want to update my rom and radio for better battery life!
Many thanks,
Marc
you cant save contacts to SIM card.. not compatible... phone automatically save contacts to your Live account (and you never loose contacts if you not loose your login data ) this is only if you login to Live account with your phone (and also live activation code entered)
you can access online to your account contact list via
http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts
ahh yes, i see it now, so then I can export the whole list as a .csv file too. Now I sign in on my phone and can add it to the phone directory? Sorry if its nooby but I cant seem to access anything like that through the dedicated email app? Juat on internet explorer?
Marc
if you have mails in contacts list, you simply use mail app
and again, all is simple... you thinking too much simple: add Live account to phone and all is solved... all your contacts be saved and you not loose it and you use this contacts with phone or computer...
i give you this link http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts to access it via computer (if you need to change contacts very easy if need it), not with WP7...
pda v8 has this function build-in
