I am a songwriter and used the Dictionary. Com app a lot on my iPhone. I would save my favorite words and have them synced to iCloud. I have the app on my android now and hoping theres any possible way to recover my data stored in iCloud. It's this possible?

iCloud is not important! what was the app?
when u backup to iCloud it means iCloud just upload the file generated by Application.
what is the app name & what is extension of backup file? (format)

I stated it above. It was for the Dictionary.com app. It gives you an option to backup your saved words to iCloud. Which I did.

That's exactly what I was wondering. Lol I felt like something was being left out.
@ O.P.: Anyways, if there's no option in the dictionary app, it's probably a loss. Which would be dictionary.coms fault. Do they offer word backups via a dictionary.com account or something?

Nope. No login for the app so I think it is a lost.

Did you log in with any kind of account? And have you tried logging in with that account in the Android version of the app? That would probably be the best/only option.
You could also reach out to the FBI. I hear they like to retrieve iCloud data.

I thought i'd try to see what syncing flickr does. It does nothing great, but now how can I remove this sync?
There is no option to remove, whereas everything else that is synced liked google or facebook allows me to remove the account.
Thanks.
That would've been my best advice if you hadn't already tried. I don't have a Flickr account so I wouldn't be able to replicate the issue.

The funny thing is that you don't even need an account to sync. Go into the sync section, select flickr, and you can put in whatever name you want.
Hmm alright then. I'll check it out later and see if mine does this as well. You just want to be able to delete it because it isn't doing anything right? It's not actually harming your device?
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App
Not an answer, but I just email pics to my flickr account. Best option in my opinion.

Correct. It is not harming my device, but simply adding another line item to the list of services to sync. I would just like it to not be there anymore since I don't want to use it.

Also in my contacts group area I now get a "unknown" group from flickr that I also cannot remove because of the sync.
Had the same exact problem. Ended up doing a factory reset to get rid of it. What a PITA!

Makes sense. Finally off work so I will be able to play with it. Sounds like you all have the same deal going on. Maybe a software update will add the ability to delete since a factory reset is a drastic step.

Having the same problem myself; guess nobody's found an answer to it yet?
Hey everyone! This is my first post to xda. I have had an iPhone since it's first release. I've owned every generation up to the 4s. Anyway, I've finally decided to make the switch to Android. I think the Galaxy S3 is an incredible device and I am quickly falling in love with it. That being said, I am having a hard time finding a way to transfer my data from the iPhone to the S3. I would like to transfer my:
Contacts
Pictures
Messages (sms and mms)
Email accounts
I know that Samsung released an app for this named "Easy Phone Sync", but it is only available in the UK to download. Other similar apps only seem to sync itunes music and play lists. And not the contacts or messages. Could anyone please help me on how to make this switch? I'd really appreciate it.

If you said the Samsung app is only available in UK, google the apk and install it yourself

easyphonesync dot com
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.galaxysync.android.app however it says it cannot be installed in my country. UK only. :/
I use a Mac and had my contacts synced to Address Book, so I ended up syncing that with google. That takes care of the contacts. Could also copy the contacts to the sim, if youre going to use the same sim.
Photos I had syncing with iphoto, so if I want I could just copy the pictures to Dropbox and copy them over to the phone.
Email accounts I just put them in manually. @me accounts can work with imap and is working on my device.
SMS/MMS I lost which isnt a big deal for me.
*edited for the apps not working outside the UK.
It says it is only available for download in the UK. It won't let me download. Is there a way to be able to download UK apps?

On your PC do a sync with itunes from your iPhone, and also do a back up in case your iPhone backups to iCloud.
Once you have that done download and install Samsung Kies it should detect you have an apple device backup and it will read that in and allow you to transfer the items you ask for into your Samsung galaxy s3 phone. This is the easiest way. No need to download any other apps.

For music its not so good. The transfer speed is slooooooow..lol
Music I would do it through the itunes, air twist in angroid. The contacts I would import them to Gmail account since android is based on google. Pictures can be upload. To the cloud. Other options is that any authorized store can sync everything on your phone

Samsung has removed the support for syncing Google Bookmarks from their Browser, which is one of the stupidest things they have done. They now want you to use your Samsung account

On my gs3 in the gallery app it would have all my Picasa albums separated. Now on my gs5 all the pictures are showing in one big group. I'm guessing it's a bug or something but not sure if anyone else uses this and wanted to know if there's any way to change it. I spoke with Samsung and the told me "that software is written by Google", so obviously they are of no help and don't know what they're talking about.

I know picasa is from Google, but the gallery app is obviously written by samsung.
I don't use it for sharing or tagging, I just use it a free cloud for my pictures that integrates right into the gallery app.
If anyone knows of a similar service that works the same or better I'd definitely be willing to switch.

Hi.
Is there an app that can back up the folder arrangement in the app drawer? Because of the farce it is getting the s7 edge to flash properly with data I need to reset my phone again and it takes an age to get my apps organised into folders so when Samsung cloud has downloaded all my apps I want them automatically to be placed into their folders, I know Samsung /Google does it automatically with marshmallow but in nougat it doesn't
Cheers
Edit: just realised you said that it doesn't work in Nougat.
Smart switch backs up your homescreen
arrangements, including folders in the app drawer.
