I searched and couldn't find the answer but I was wondering if anyone knows a way to add contacts to Google voice side only. I know Google voice is attached to your primary email. I tried installing a different gmail account in the google voice app but I ended up with all my contacts merge in both gmail accounts.

As most have complained and I have not found any for sure solution I wanted to see if you guys could help.
Picked up my captivate today and went to try and sync my contacts via kies, no matter what I have tried it does not seem to work.
I'm windows XP SP3 framework 4.0 tried reloading drivers, reboots etc.
when I go to the contacts in Kies it says SGH I897 device not supported
Somebody please help
Anybody? I have seriously tried everything to get it to sync via kies, and this basically leaves my phone a useless brick without my contacts.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and kies etc.
HELP?
Honestly, just export you contacts to a .csv file and import them directly to your google account, if you don't have a google account go make one it is free and the best service for cloud computing and mail (storing contacts, mail, bookmarks,etc...), and it will sync ota with your android phone

How do you take the contacts on your phone and import them to .Cvs? I thought about doing this but I didn't see a setting for that on the phone.

If your contacts are already on the phone what is the problem?
But your phone contacts should have sync to your google contacts alreadys long as you have syncd your google account to the phone.

Very few of my contacts are synced to Google because they aren't listed as a Google contact. That is why I personally wanted to do the Cvs file then import to Google so I don't have to manually establish them as a Google contact.

Well my biggest issue with this, is that I already have 500 some odd google contacts on my primary gmail. I have no want or need for the majority of those contacts. So even if I was willing to do it via the CSV method I would need to make one of the other groups my primary contact sheet and not the gmail one.
So i guess i'm just stuck with 700+ contacts?
bueller? anyone?
New to android, and was wondering if there is an app that will do voicemail like iphone? I think evo has it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yeah, if I had to choose one thing I miss about my iPhone, it would be visual voicemail. Would definitely like to see a mod for it.
Google Voice
Google Voice is the best/free app that comes to my mind (works great for me), however I'm sure if you Google or just look for apps on the marketplace they shouldn't be hard to find...
the best visual voicemail app ive found is called youmail
I use Google voice for visual voicemail.

Duh, I completely forgot about my Google Voice account. I need to set that up haha.
Visual voicemail by Fusion
There is an app called visual voicemail. It is made by Fusion. Works great for me. I used it with Windows mobile. Had an account back then. I even get faxes to my cell number. All free when I signed up with Windows Mobile.
I don't think this belongs in the development section
this definitely belongs in general. keep the development section open for roms and fixes etc.
Anyone else think we need a q&a sections like some of the other phones?
Unfortunately for those of us that use Google Apps they left us in the dust on Google Voice.

Yes, Google Voice is pretty good. Its about as close to iphone visual voicemail as you're gonna get on the Captivate.
Plus I kind of like the transcribed voicemail emails.
How do I use that instead of att
voicemail?
Sorry for a noob q??

Log into your google account on your computer. Find google voice on google's site. There is an option to use google voice for just voice mail. There will also be instructions for setting up your phone to forward voice mails to your google voice account. When you are all done wth that, download google voice from the market and go through its options.
I did all that and google voice works seamlessly for my voice mail.
Just open another google accountunder the same email. Problem solved

Damn. I didn't know you could do that. I started another account under a different name because the market wouldn't work with my apps name.

Problem NOT solved because it's still a different account with a new contact list.
Your google voice account does not have to be the same as your primary account. I have a google apps account that I use as my primary account for contacts, email and calendars. I have a second account that I use for the market and google voice. It works fine.

But none of your Voice stuff syncs with the main account.
A search has not fully answered my question. After having to factory reset today, I noticed my calendar (I input from the phone itself) did not sync with google calendar and back things up. I lost prior three weeks and next two weeks of appts. After looking through settings of the calendar app and the phone itself and messing with it, it still doesn't sync. Is there something missing? I noticed some others in the search had similar problems, but couldn't tell if they were the same as mine or not. Thanks!
stupid question but under your Gmail account you have calendar set to sync right? What happens when you tap the sync icon, does it sync or error out?

Yes the calendar is set to sync, when I sync it says it does. But again, if I check google calendar elsewhere, it hasn't changed.
Make sure you have your google calendar selected when adding events. The phone has its own calendar as well as all your google candidates that you have permission to write with. Perhaps you were writing to the phone's calendar instead of your google one?

Thanks, yeah I unchecked every car account excpet my google calendar and it still doesn't sync. Will see if replacement devcie does the same.
Is there a way to flash a Rom whilst keeping all personal information such as contact numbers? Sorry if this is a pretty obvious question, I'm new to all this.
It depends where your contacts are stored . Do you sync with gmail?

My contact list is automatically restored from Google. As are my wallpaper and apps.

Unfortunately, many of the numbers stored in my phone do not end up syncing with the contacts in my Gmail account. A few months ago, I had flashed Cleanrom to my phone and I tried to sync with Gmail to restore my contacts, but I ended up losing around half of my contact numbers. The actual contacts were there, but they didn't have phone numbers assigned to them, only email addresses. I want to try installing some mods for CleanRom via Aroma (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1666520) but I'm worried that the situation will replicate itself again.
You can check what contacts are stored in your Google account. This will allow you to know what is synced. Also a phone can generally store contacts in 2 places. Locally and synced to Google. There is usually a way to sync all phone only contacts. I know touchwiz had it as an option in their people app.

I am using hangouts strictly for sms, is there a way to get rid of the stupid suggestions list?
Also is there a way to sync Facebook contact photos with it, they're sunbed already to my Gmail account.

I found it annoying initially too, what I had done was this. I hopped onto Google plus and disabled suggestions. With that I also found it annoying to have circles in my SMS contacts too so I just hid them.
Another thing you could do is logout from your g+ account on hangouts.
