Going from Iphone to Android

What are people's experiances? Been having trouble with AT&T service but like the Iphone 3G, but have been thinking of switching for a while. Service is not terrible but I do drop calls now and then. Thinking of going to the Incredible or X, or waiting till the end of the year for the new HTC. If my car did not synch with the Iphone music easily and my home stereo have an Iphone docking port I would have swithed already. Anyone already switch and what are your experiances?

From what I uderstand.. It's mainly a learning curve. A friend dropped calls often, but we live in Ohio, so I always figured it wasn't as AT&T friendly as Verizon was (Which seems to be the major service provider here). When he first got his DINC, he was like "UGH" "ERR" "Wha the #$^*" for a little while until he figured out his phone's perks and how a few apps make the huge difference. He loves it now.. He sometimes just stares at his wallpaper (I think his has stars shooting and twinkling in the background) and everytime I look, he seems to be doing SOMETHING on it.. he has had his iPhone since launch I believe and he is obsessed with playing on a smartphone, again.. Haha. Personally I only ever had the Incredible and I will NEVER EVER EVERRRRR complain about its features. To a few (if not many) review websites..they give incredible a tenth of a point more than the current iPhone.. overlooking the whole "holding the phone wrong" deal. That's a big deal, in my opinion, but again, I say it is preference.
Overall, I would have to tell you to go in to a Verizon store (non-"premium" crap store) and play with a few phones. That's what I did when I was looking around at the iPhone at Apple's store and at Verizon's. (I was actually going to switch over to AT&T... I can only imagine my hassle right now since I'd probably be in a "dead zone" knowing my luck) I personally played with MotoDroid, It's ok.... Had a built in keyboard which Idc about, honestly. Had nice features, screen, dah-dah.. Went over to the Incredible? I loooooooved the UI, the touch keyboard was pretty flawless, no problems for me, there. great camera, etc.. Went home and ordered. Then the iPhone 4 came out.. I actually looked at that but after online complaints and being used to the DINC's only realy "flaw" being no front camera (Idk when I'd use that...I doubt I'll find many in Ohio that honestly HAVE that phone.. lol I have yet to notice someone but my friend have the DINC. let alone a NEW iphone) I might go and play with the X today,but I doubt I'll switch I just want to take a peek ..I didn't like moto's interface and my DINC is a big screen already, almost pushing it.. I love compact phones with tons of features.
I hope that helps.

How do I transfer contacts from iPhone to Android?

I recently moved from iPhone to Android and now want to transfer my contacts over. However having reviewed some similar queries on this discussion board I still cannot do it.
I have seen comments to go into iTunes and select the sync contacts with dropdown, then select the Google account, however I only have options of Outlook or Windows and I don't know how to add a Google account into that.
I've tried on my iPhone settings, Mail Contacts & calendars, and adding my Google account into there, but it still doesn't show Google as an option in iTunes.
I'd rather not have to type them all into my Android phone manually, but I'm beginning to think it would be easier than wasting so much time trying to figure out a technical solution!
Can I somehow import them to Google via iCloud?
Thanks in advance.

No problem!
You can try iCloud for Windows (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455) to Sync your contacts.
The export step using Windows can be done using the contacts application:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/import-export-change-format-contacts# 1TC=windows-7
Once you have your contacts in vCard format, you can import them via the gmail web interface... You *may* even be able to drag and drop them onto gmail these days. Many Google web services support drag and drop, so that could be the easiest way.
Let us know how you go!

Switched from iPhone to Android and now iMessage being sent instead of Text

A friend of mine recently switched from iPhone to Android and now my text are being sent as iMessage instead of text and he obviously isn't receiving it. How do I fix this bug. I'm using iPhone 4 running iOS 5

I apologize about the odd style but I'm using voice rec software. I just got the Galaxy S five and I have this problem too after weeks of searching online I finally figured out the problem it is with iMessage even if you have your old phones imessage switched off. you have to get your friends to text you normally and send. If the text bubble shows up blue, press and hold choose option send as SMS or text and the bubble will change to green green means SMS blue is the iMessage so its up to the iPhone user to take literally a half of an extra step to send a text to you and if they don't do that then they're just jerks

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer. Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results? If so how do I do this? Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is? Very new/green user here

Is there anything else I should do? Should I just go back to my iphone at this point.. its been over a week. please help extremely frusterated .. thank you!
Call Apple Support. They have a procedure that can unregister your Apple ID from iMessage and the phone number, as long as you can still receive regular text messages at the phone number on a non-iPhone.

I have a contact that changed from iPhone to Android, but my iPhone cannot recognize the switch and continues sending texts as iMessage.

I have an iPhone and one of my contacts switched from iPhone to Galaxy phones. But now when I text them, my messages continue sending as iMessage, even though they do not have the iMessage feature anymore. The only way my texts are sending is when I turn the iMessage feature completely off on my phone. I tried holding the individual iMessage texts down and clicking the "send as text" option but then my messages aren't delivering, I deleted and re-added the number, and restarted my phone. How do I make my phone recognize it's not an iPhone anymore?

It's not something you need to fix. The other person needs to deregister their number from iMessage: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203042

Can you help me solve ical synch problem going from iPhone to MacBook Air?

My iPhone calendar contains a lot of important meetings. I am about to migrate from my 3GS to iPhone 5 but since I cannot seem to properly synchronize my iCal from my iPhone to to my MacBook Air, i.e. I cannot see any events from my iPhone in my Mac's calendar. I am thus afraid to activate and jump to my iPhone 5, which is collecting dust at this point, because if this calendar fails to reemerge from the "Cloud" I am in deep horsedung.
I have all of the iCloud settings turned on for synching. I have gone to Storage and Backup and hit Synch Now and that update seems to occur via any feedback my iPhone is giving me.
I have a suspicion that since I was forced to create a 2nd account in order to synch "Notes" to the iCloud that such may be causing some of the problems, but honestly, prior to doing that I synched to iCloud so this inability to see my iPhone calendar on my Mac is more longstanding.
I also cannot seemingly log out of iCloud with one ID on my MacBook Air and sign in with another without iCloud telling me that I am going to lose all of my Contacts and previous data that I synched up with the current ID. What's that all about? That does not seem like typically brilliant Apple Design to me. Most of end up with more than one Apple ID, especially since the "Notes" synch forces you to sign up for yet another iCloud ID. I thoroughly researched that problem online at many forums before reluctantly adding another Apple ID.
My environment is MacBook Air OS X 10.7.4 and 3GS with IOS 5 (iPhone 5 with undoubtedly IOS 6 sitting in the hangar)
Thanks for any insight in advance.

No voice going from iPhone to other phones

hey guys,
i have an iPhone 4 5.1.1 software. I am having this problem recently. When i call somebody i have a conversation of about 2 seconds then my voice stops going to them but theirs come.....i keep saying hello but the other person cant listen but i can listen them.....when i call the the same carrier as mine the conversation goes fine( no interruption).....so is it a hardware problem or cellular problem because my friend called me from some other carrier and he has an iPhone the conversation went fine......
Could you guys please help me because i have been texting everyone from the last week and each second i have been typing. My thumb is hurting.....
Regards,
Avengers 20

Sounds like a network or account problem.
If it works when contacting another individual on a different carrier it can not be a hardware issue.

HT5538 messaging from iphone to android

I recently switched to an android device, and gave my daughter my Iphone 5. I have not been able to receive messages from oPhone users since the switch. How can I resolve this issue?

If your daughter has already set up the phone for her use, you'll have to call AppleCare and ask to talk to "Account Security". They will fix while you're on the phone.

Going from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5 and Mac OSX Tiger

Hello,
I currently have one of the first Intel Mac Book Pro's running OSX Tiger. I also have a 3GS running ios 4.1 which I'm about to upgrade to the iPhone 5.
What is the best way to back-up/transfer my contacts/txt's/etc from my 3GS to my 5? I can't run the latest version of iTunes and eventually this year I will upgrade to a new iMac which would solve the problem...but for now I would like to transfer all my data over.
Thanks,
Mike

The problem with that is my current iphone is running ios 4.1 and my laptop is running tiger so I don't have icloud. Without upgrading to snow leopard and then to lion/mountian lion to get icloud is there any other option?

Going from iPhone to iPhone 3G Question

So I just got my iPhone 3G today. It only has software 2.0 on it so when I plugged it into my computer, iTunes had me upgrade it 2.0.1 because the backup of my other iPhone was 2.0.1. So I updated my iPhone 3G. How do I tell it to change to my old iPhone's backup? Do I click restore? If so, does it bring up an option allowing me to restore it to my old iPhone's backup?

Anthony,
I just made the switch from 2G iphone to 3G this past Tuesday. You will need to restore then you will get an option to restore from back-up(as long as you synced your 2G recently!). Be prepared for a long restore process, mine took around 3 hours. However, when finished, everything was great and my 3G reception and GPS have performed flawlessly. Good luck!
Michael
