Re: [SLUG] On switching ISPs.
I don't think Android backs your SIM contact list to Google without your say-so. (That might be a potential privacy issue.) When I make a new contact (on my HTC desire), it gives me the choice of storing the new contact on the SIM, on the phone, or on Google (I assume one can connect to a different cloud service if they wish). If any of your contacts are on the SIM, you will need to move them off before you change to a new SIM. I moved all my contacts off my SIM manually years ago and I never looked back. In interest of keeping this thread on topic (linux), does anyone know of decent linux software that can synchronise with a droid? I'm thinking about locally stored contact data, SIM card data, calendars and text messages... Cheers. Darren.

Sent by:slug-boun...@slug.org.au For a moment I thought I'd been subscribed to an Android support mailing list My guess as to what you are asking is do you need to save the phone contacts from your old sim card before turfing it? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Its a bit hard to say but generally Android likes to chuck all your contacts up to the cloud meaning they should already be on the phone when the new sim card is installed. You can probably check this by launching Gmail in the web browser on your computer and check your Contacts. If you see the contacts that were on your sim card in your Gmail contacts list then you shouldn't need to copy them from the old sim card. Hope that helps and sorry I cant be more specific.

[SLUG] On switching ISPs.
Wishing to switch ISP. Have other ISPs SIM, with instructions to activate it. There's no mention of the phone list on/in my old SIM. Have I to save it somewhere? It's an HTC Velocity. Any help, William Bennett. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Fwd: Re: Smallest and Cheapest Linux Computer ?
I use an odroid u2 as a server at home. It has the same problem as the pi with usb ethernet and disk. but it's fast enough to watch videos over wifi, so that's all I care about. there are pi like boards that have sata, but the one I saw around the same time I bought the odroid had only one sata port, and I needed 2 or more. If i was going to use it for a small business server, i would want 2 sata ports for raid1. odroid u2 is about $100 usd, quad core arm cpu, quad core gpu, and 2GB ram. looks awesome, very few cases available for it, but that wasn't important to me. It's basically a short business card size pcb mounted onto a heatsink. has an option for a fan for hot environments and overclocking, but it runs fine without, and has an option for what I think they call emmc storage, which from what I can gather is really fast storage with a micro sd interface. With emmc it compiles a kernel in a few minutes. It runs on 5v 1amp (needs a 2amp PS for headroom and to power usb devices) On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 4:38 PM, David Lyon wrote: > I'm really slow to get new stuff.
