ATT Address book does only SIM backup? - Captivate General

Is there a way to make the google contacts native to the phone so that I could do a back up with the ATT address book? It seems that I can only do a back up of the transferred SIM contacts. I know that it seems redundant since it's already on google's cloud but I just wanted to try the ATT service.

Mytouch google activation

Hi,
I borrowed my friends SIM to activate my MYTOUCH phone. During activation, it said this GMAIL account is now linked to this phone. problem is it is HIS gmail account, not mines.
Is there a way to change the email to my gmail address?
Or is the only way to RESET the phone?
thanlks
I'm on an eclair rom right now but there should be an option in your settings called "sync" or something like that where you can add a gmail account and once you add one you can delete the other. Why did you need to borrow someone's SIM to activate the phone? Wouldn't that activate it on that service instead of your own? What are you gonna do when there's no wireless for you to use?

Yes, depend on rom installed. Try this , is you use a rom basef on Eclaire, or something similar in other cases.
Settings-Privacy settings-Factory data reset. Atention that erase all your data stored un phone (contacts etc)
Well, that's weird. Why did you put in your friend's email address? Should've been able to put in your email address even with his SIM.
I found the solution:
going into settings -> applications -> manage apps -> gmail, gmail storage & google apps and clear cache and data. then reboot the phone and see if it prompts you to enter a gmail account.
Once i deleted DATA, i was able to create new gmail account!

[Q] Problem with Gmail moving from iPhone to Skyrocket

I've just replaced my iPhone 3GS with a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket. A first note of caution to others: I bought mine at Costco, who had to order the Skyrocket. When they placed the order, it killed the SIM in my iPhone, and I had to drive to an AT&T store to get a new SIM card. Both Costco and the AT&T store said that the new SIM card was only for the iPhone and I should use the card in the box with the Skyrocket. They were wrong. The one in the box was dead (killed when the replacement one for my iPhone was activated), and the new one in the iPhone works fine, supporting LTE on the Skyrocket. But back to my question ...
I have two Gmail accounts. My main one was set up with Google Exchange so I could get messages instantly on my iPhone, but the second one is a standard account. The Skyrocket has an Email icon at the bottom of the screen that stays there as I switch screens and a GMail icon. I could set up both accounts on the GMail icon, but I can't get the Email app to accept my primary Gmail account, which is a problem as I have to switch to a specific screen to check my email. It also makes me wonder if something else is messed up. Any ideas?

[Q] Atrix 2 on T-mobile "Sim card full"

I posted this in the N00B question thread but I was told to make a new thread.
So my friend got an Unlocked Atrix 2 and she is using it on T-mobile. When the sim is inserted she can make phone calls and send text messages but it says the sim card is full and it wont let her import the contacts from the sim card to her google account. In fact it says there are no contacts but that is definitely not the case because if you put it into the old phone they all show up. That being said I found a thread that apparently has the answer but I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do. Am I going to have to root the phone so that I can modify the XML system files?

I since rooted the device just so that I have the ability to do more but the Atrix 4G thread was of no help. I don't know what they did in there to get it to work. Anyone have any ideas?
Why don't you use the old phone to sync contacts with Google, then login with the same Google account on the new phone and sync again.

[Q] HTC 8X Windows 8 - AT&T - Backing Up Entire Phone

Hi people!
I have an HTC Windows 8X phone locked to AT&T.
I'm a newbie to the forum so please don't hang me for asking but is there any way to backup other phone info besides your app settings?
I had to do a reset but using the cloud backup only allowed my programs and a few other things.
My phonebook, wireless settings, email settings, icon placement etc had to all be redone.
I know it does the apps, pix and texts but I'd at least like to have my phonebook if nothing else.
I had my old phonebook copied from my old phone (a Moto on AT&T) and they (AT&T) copied my phonebook from the old
SIM to the new one. I was then able to copy from the SIM to the phone... but you can't copy back to the SIM so any and all
contact updates and corrections can't be stored on the SIM again for future transfers back and they aren't backed up to the cloud.
I actually do like the phone, I just wish they'd give you more options as to what to back up so I don't have to wind up
writing down all my contacts for manual re-entry should something go haywire.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!

Transferring signed-in app to another phone

Hello,
I am trying to copy a messaging/voip app from my old phone. I used APK Extractor to copy the app.
The problem is with the app's login info. When I launch the app on my old phone, I get a message that the account is inactive and I need to contact customer services. But the app then works, I can make calls and check the credit remaining etc.
When I enter the account details (login and password, identical to the ones that are logged on on my old phone) in my new phone I get an invalid account message.
In fact the account is dormant, but still works. So obviously I don't want to contact the service provider.
The problem is not to retrieve the login details - I already have those - but how to flag the app as logged in.
Anyone have any ideas?
OK, I managed to solve the problem. I'll post it, in case it helps anyone else.
It turns out that the manual log in works if there is no SIM card present in the phone.
If a SIM card is present, the Freedompop app finds that either it is not a Freedompop SIM, or that it is an inactive SIM, so refuses to log in. If there is no SIM card present (for any operator), then the manual log in works.
