Need a little help....

I can transfer the calendar notes but for my contacts, it appears that the transfer is stuck...eg. 55/211 contacts....and it stays like this until i intervene after around 15mins...

Has anyone encountered the same problem?

TIA!

Is there an easier way to transfer whatsapp history?

The only one so far is to buy the damn software to do it...

Moving from Android to iPhone (Move SMS)

Over the last few weeks I have really enjoyed reading this forum. I just received my iPhone 6 and am looking to move all my texts(SMS) from my Android phone to iPhone.

Is there a tool/service I can use to get this done?

haha, if buying android is a mistake, then I love making mistakes :D

Apple From innovator to follower - Why Apple Just Lost Its Common Sense With The iPhone 6 And 6 Plus - Forbes

would it be a mistake to go back to Apple?

I love apple products but I have to say my experience with Samsung Note 2 for almost 2 years has been very good. I always told myself that I would go back to Apple if they give me a big screen which they have done now, but is that enough?

The 6+ is the same size and lt looks very similar to the note 2 apart from the home button.

But with the note 2 I can peel off the back cover and switch battery or SD card easily. Not something that is possible with apple.

So the big question is do I go back?

So far with all the press about bendy phones and iOS8 problems, I'm not so sure.

Samsung may be plastic and the paint peels off after a while but the phone is still good after 2 years and I won't be selling it second hand. I would keep it as a spare.

Now I never kept any of my old iPhone as spare - always sold them so maybe that says it all

To me I choose iphone because I believe apple product have better security features less problem of being hacked, stock android is good, but open system might have more security issue...

Over the years, i do relised that my phone apps get less and less, and my home screen are very simple and always just doing whatsapp, calling and note taking, flipbaord and playing candy crush (so boring i know), then on i did not chase after iphone to iphone, I am still using my ip4s with 12GB plan

Hence, know what u really need and go to the right product regard is apple or android that suit your need.....I think you will not regret

Same situation as you, having sold my old iPhones but not my old Samsungs.

The reason why I do this is because iPhones have irresistable resale value whereas Samsungs have almost no resale value left after x years of usage.

Just wanted to highlight that part.
a smart consumer would say that the iPhone literally pays for itself for the next iteration.

@slowcoach: yes, it "says it all". it specifically says that highlighted part.

Where is the good resale value from?

Trade-in or forum or ebay?

It's also based on how mint is condition and if the box/packaging etc is intact 'cos some resellers want to sell as reconditioned sets.

The resale base price is created by the trade-in prices.

A simple case-in-point.
The below was taken from the Singtel portal. 2011 models
SS SII (2011) $60
iPhone 4S (2011) $200

if the condition is bad, the base of your resale would be the trade-in price. $200.

if you search for other avenues, eg. the mobile bazaar forum. you can get at least $250 (?) odd. I believe a mint condition would get you at least $280 odd (?).

if anyone offers you lower than $200, ask them to go to he** and trade it back to your mobile operator.
