Samsung Kies

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?

Syncing contacts with Google

So I don't get what HTC did with the Thunderbolt....on my Incredible it used to send my contacts I added to the phone on Google. However now it doesn't sync them. And I can't find an option to save to Google instead of Phone.

When you add a contact, the second field is contact type: phone or Google. Choose Google to add to the Google cloud.

Menu>Settings>Accounts & sync check auto sync. Then tap on google and check sync contacts

I have noticed, (and this I very annoying) , that when I first setup a new rom, after syncing my google account, it creates duplicate entries, one called phone and one called google of the same phone number.

It doesn't sync them because by default new contacts are not set up as google contacts. After selecting to make a new contact you must before inputting the name manually make it a google contact.

Open contacts
Hit menu
Hit view
Uncheck everything but Google.
This will make your default Google when u add a new one.
Then they will sync

And there is no way to edit where the contact saves to AFTER you make it? I could've sworn I could change it on my Inc.

This works great, thanks. I never liked having to select Google for each new contact.

Sure you can edit contacts. Go into the People app, click on one of your contacts, and press the Menu button and choose Edit. Not only that, but in the edit screen you can choose to link identical names in your phone book and the you can see what information is stored in the phone (which syncs to Verizon's Backup Assistant) and what is stored in Google.
Knave68's post above tells you how to make sure that your phone will sync with your Google account.

It doesn't let you switch between a phone contact to a google contact, am I missing something?

Go to people, hit menu, import/export, export to SD.
Then choose phone. This will export all your phone only contacts to a vcard file.
Then choose import from SD and set Google as the destination.

Thanks. It sucks they make it that difficult but that should do the trick.

Phone numbers in phone moved to google

I have phone numbers on my phone that aren't linked to google sync so when I load a new rom, I lose them. How do I move a contact from "phone" to "google". And please don't say sync because it doesnt
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

U have to save each one separate. Open contact edit save to Google. Should work. It's a known issue with the tbolt syncing new contacts to google
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

I don't see a save to google option
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

OK when u add a contact the first option is contact type. Make sure that's google
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

Even easier still.
1. On computer of choice log into google mail
2. Click contacts and add, update and save.
3. ???
4. Profit

Transfer them all from your address book on your pc to google contacts in your email account. They should all sync automatically then. I saved all my contacts from outlook and then imported them in a .vcf file. Google it, is really easy to do.

Yeah, just exported or shared memos appearing in the folder /sdcard/S Memo/.

With the new update, you can export as a pdf. Then if you have a pdf editing program you should be able to edit on a pc. If you use handwriting, and have a tablet pc you can edit the pdf on that with pdf annotator or similar.

Wrong forum.. please delete

I use gSyncIt to synchronize Google with Outlook. Google calendar synchronizes with the phone. Google acts as a passthrough link.
GSyncIt synchronize contacts,calendar,tasks and notes between Google account and Outlook.
Edit:
Oops,sorry. This is about S-memo,not S-planner...
However I will keep it here just FYI.

you can search for it in the app store from your desktop. I can't post links yet.
Dont forget to hit thank you if i've helped in any way

I had the same question with my S4. After a bit of reading up i gather that Samsung is working on a fully fledged version of S-cloud which should have been ready when the last note handset was released but it's still not ready. If rumors are correct you will be able to view and edit all Samsung services like s-note, s-memo, s-planner etc from there. In the meantime I'm using Google keep for simple notes like shopping lists and Microsoft one note for bigger work stuff.

try this http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/snote/?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000170
it is official from samsung
