If anyone uses Sugarsync, please test this if you have a moment:
1. Create a test folder on a PC that's synced,
2. Copy a few test documents to it,
3. Select "Sync to this device" on the TF.
4. Once all the files have downloaded, check the date/time stamp on the files on the TF. Are they now set to the date/time that they were just downloaded?
5. Hit the resync button next to the folder on the TF.
5. Check to see if the files on the PC in the synced folder are now set to the same date/time stamp.
This is a bug, and Sugarsync says it's specific to Honeycomb. That seems true, because this behavior isn't exhibited on my Epic (the files retain their original date/time stamp). I'd like to just make sure it's not something specific with my install or TF.
Thanks!

Sorry if this has been posted before. This was one of those "late-night family specials" and I had to write it down somewhere.
I will polish this up later. Hope it helps!
1) Connect your iPhone to iTunes and make a backup.
a) Wait for iPhone to list.
b) Right click, then select Backup.
Depending on the size of data on your phone and the last backup performed, this could take a while.
2) Download SQLite Database Extractor and iFunBox. It's a bit unpleasant, but it'll work.
3) Do the following to restore key information:
PHOTOS
-----------
iPhones are recognized as cameras in Windows and Mac, so pull photos like you normally would (iPhoto, Windows Explorer, etc.)
SMS
-----
Go to this (http://faked.org/isms2droid/index.php) website and follow the instructions.
CONTACTS
--------------
This is the messy part. (You must be syncing your phone with a Google account to make this work.)
BIG NOTE: If your iPhone can access the internet, the easiest way to do this is to add your Google account on the iPhone and sync everything that way. See http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252 for details.
1) Open iPhone Backup Extractor and wait for it to finish loading data.
2) When finished, click "Expert Mode"
3) Click on LIBRARY, then ADDRESSBOOK, then AddressBook.sqlitedb
4) Click Extract Selected, then save to somewhere convenient (like the Desktop). It will display a warning; just click OK. NOTE: The program costs $34.95. Unfortunately, it's not worth it.
5) Navigate to the folder you saved this file in, then click LIBRARY, then AddressBook.
5) Open SQL Database Extractor. When it opens, drag this file into the application. If you did this right, you should get tons of dropdown menus.
6) Click on Edit, then Create Table. Name the table whatever you want; I will use "TEST_TABLE" as the name in this example.
7) Click Add, then type "First" for field name and "TEXT" for field type. Repeat this twice, entering the data below:
Field Names: "Last", "Mobile"
Field Type: "TEXT", "TEXT"
8) When done, click on "Execute SQL" and enter the following query in the SQL string:
INSERT INTO "test_table" (First, Last, Mobile) SELECT AbPerson.First AS First, AbPerson.Last AS Last, AbMultiValue.value AS Mobile FROM AbPerson, AbMultiValue WHERE (AbPerson.ROWID = AbMultiValue.record_id AND AbMultiValue.value LIKE '%(%)%')
If it worked, you should see "No error" underneath "Error message from database engine"
BIG NOTE: If you mess up the query above, SQLite Database Browser will freeze! Yes, I know it sucks. I'm going to make a better way.
BIG NOTE 2: Everyone's phone number will be recognized as mobile numbers. Remember that this is a quick way of getting your contacts back.
BIG NOTE 3: If the person's number is not in the format [+...] (prefix) suffix, it will be lost. Sorry
9) Click on "Browse Data" and select the table you created (here, TEST_TABLE) from the "Table" dropdown. If it worked, you'll see first names, last names and phone numbers.
10) Click on File, then Export, then Export As CSV File. Select TEST_TABLE for the table name and click Export to complete. Save it somewhere convenient, like the desktop. Click OK, then exit. Don't save the new table.
11) Log into your Gmail account and go to your contacts. Click on MORE ACTIONS, then IMPORT.
12) Browse to the CSV file you just created. Then click Import. If it worked, you should see all of your contacts in Gmail, and they will appear in your phone in a few minutes.
The worst is now behind you!
MUSIC
--------
Going by memory, sorry. There are two good ways of doing it:
(a) the easy way:
1) Download DoubleTwist and install
2) Wait for device to connect
3) Click on it, then click Sync Music
4) Get good coffee to enjoy while waiting.
(b) the geeky way:
1) Open iFunBox
2) When your phone is recognized, expand it, then click Raw File System, then iTunes_Control, then Music
3) Copy ALL folders somewhere convenient.
4) When that's finished, connect your Android device as USB storage.
5) Create a folder called Music or similar if not already present.
6) Copy all of those folders into that directory. You will lose the pretty names, but all of the music will be organized automatically.
I'm try out Polaris Office and drop box as a combination...is there any way to set the default folder location in PO to dropbox?
Not a huge deal but it would simplify things if I didn't have to pick it everytime I wanted to save a doc.
I'm also interested in this topic. anyone knows a possibility, polaris office to link with dropbox? apparently it only works with box.net. someone has a tip?
Unless you want to screw with smb/nfs mounting a PC or Mac's Dropbox, AFAIK you will have to save the file locally then add it via the Dropbox app or launch PO through DB. I don't think saving to e.g. /mnt/sdcard/dropbox/ will work but I have never tried it.

You need to use something like Titanium sync:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.MediaSync&feature=search_result
It will automatically upload a file(s) in folders you set to Dropbox (1-way sync).
If you want to edit the file, open it on the TF, edit and save onto the TF. The sync app will detect the change and immediately upload and overwrite the previous version on Dropbox (unless you save it as a different filename obviously).
If you set the Dropbox folder to be uploaded by the sync app, that might give you quite close to a 2-way sync even if it is a bit inefficient (i.e. if you download a file from DB to TF, then the sync app will upload it again but it will be the same file so its not the end of the world) then you can edit and backup to DB.
Somebody know were it´s the picture´albums directory? I want transfer pictures to my phone, (Pc to Device Using wp7 root tool) but i don´t find the albums directory.
Somebody knows how do it?
Of course I don´t want upload to skydrive or email this picture, because are private.
Thank´s in advance
What do you mean the album directory? I'm not really sure what you meant but here are my methods:
Transferring photos from PC to camera roll: (can also be done the same with Saved Pictures folder so it wouldn't show as Other Pictures)
1. Sync your phone to your PC via Zune.
2. Place pictures on your PC to folder "C:\Users\[yourPCname]\Pictures\From [yourDevicename]"
3. Switch to Zune and go to the Pictures pane under collection.
4. Pull down the My Pictures arrow on the left column, until you see your device name folder.
5. Drag the whole camera roll folder to your device on bottom left.
Transferring photos from PC to new album:
1. Navigate to Pictures pane under collection in Zune.
2. On the right column, choose the album you want to sync with your phone.
3. Drag the whole folder to your device on the bottom left.
The pictures folder on the phone is one of the folders under \My Documents\Zune\Content, but just adding files there wouldn't do any good anyhow, they have to be added to the Zune database. The best way to do that is to sync your phone with the Zune PC software, just like NeuroXT said.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes of course, i know about Neuroxt method but I usually work on Pc works where I don't have Zune software, and I can't install it. I use "webserver HTC root" to copy files.
Thanks for the answer anyway !!!
the pictures are stored in the folder
My documents/zune/content/0300/02 & 03
Previously, i was able to download a file from dropbox and save it to my device. Maybe i'm just lost, but i dont see the option to do that. Also, when i was doing this previously, there was a folder called Dropbox in File Manager HD that kept (and synced) all of the items i downloaded from Dropbox. I dont see that now.
You can download (export) a file by either:
1) Long-pressing on a file and selecting Export, or
2) Pressing the down-arrow enclosed by a circle (on the right) of a file, and selecting Export
As for the folder-syncing, as long as i've used Dropbox on Android, they haven't supported folder synchronization. I think I've read somewhere that they used to support it, but took it out. There might be a 3rd party app on the Google Play store that you can get to emulate this feature though.
The App to sync dropbox called "FolderSync" and "Dropsync"
Thanks guys. Thought i was going insane.
Hello again.
I cannot delete the Auto Backup folder generated from my 5 minute G+ Auto Upload experiment.
I've followed the suggestions I've found (turn off Auto Upload [duh], uncheck sync options for Google Photos, clear data for Gallery, refresh Gallery). It doesn't work. In fact, I still get a sync animation beside my Google Photos checkbox, while it's unchecked.
I've deleted my Google account and readded it. I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any suggestions?
Not sure if sig is updated, but I'm running Stock 4.4.1, Franco r19, Xposed/Gravity Box with minimal adjustments.
Creat txt file on pc, select save as and select type all files than name it, .nomedia and save. Than put this file and paste Auto Backup folder.
