Hi, Does anyone know how to transfer memo from S2 to Note2? Just got my Note2 yesterday. It seems Kies cannot do the transfer. Sametime, how much does the S Pen cost and where to get it? My friend lost his. Thanks.

i think you have to copy all the data to your pc first, then full format the sd card using your windows ...please take note to mount the sd card as direct as possible to do a full format...i experience my sd card reader and connected to extended usb cable always got failure....i then use a laptop with built in card reader minus the extended cable and it works.

No. Chrome doesn't support flash.

I currently face a problem whereby after setting up my 3 email accounts, initial connection to d/l mails was okay. Next day, I'll face this 'connection error' problem. Anyone else encounter?

Seems like I found the root cause. Its hotmail acc. Previously have no problem setting up. Now have to manual set up by choosing pop3.live.com. Initially after manual set up was okay, nxt day connection error comes back.

Bro, dun use pop3. Use exchange better.. Hotmail support exchange.
Btw, connection errors, I suspect your background data was restricted. Go check it out.

My Hotmail works fine, but my company domain email damn weird... Always prompting for password from time to time despite all the setting are done properly -_-

Tks very much bro. U're spot on . I silly-ly restricted exchanged services background data, hence Hotmail can't work. Unchecked it, bingo! Tks once again. Note2 batt life is amazing. Can last me 2 days

Just called Samsung. Disappointed to learn that there is no way to transfer memo from S2 to Note2. Anybody here know of a way which Samsung don't know?

can you transfer the memo to your sd card and then move the sd card to the note 2?

Hi ive been with Android for past 2 years starting from Galaxy 1.

Option#1
The easy way to back up the contact list in your Note 2 is open the Contact > Settings then Export they save it to your sd card. << I dont recommend this. This will only back up the basic stuff.

Option#2
Try hooking up the phone to you computer via USB and use Samsung Kies Contacts Back up or Save to PC this will allow it to back up more information about contact. Sometimes even the pictures, email address etc.

The Option #2 is what i used to transfer my contacts and it didnt take me 10 mins. Although i had to do it twice because i used the 1 option and had to do it again using Option2.

Being a new phone helped because i do not have anything saved in my Note2 yet so i can reset the whole thing if needed.
Hope this helps.

Sync your contacts to Google is the best way, if you lost your phone or reset to factory default, and if you are tired of Samsung phones you decide to try iPhone or some other models of Android phone, point to Google and sync back your contacts.

I do 1 more step... I manually backup my contacts (600+ of them) to a excel spreadsheet once every 3 months for safekeeping.
