Re: [SLUG] On switching ISPs.
fwiw, I just came across what seems to be incredibly versatile 'server' app that could be useful for that: Servers Ultimate from IceColdApps It lets you run variety of servers on the Android device itself, I only tried briefly http, but it includes everything plus a kitchen sink, appears to be extremely comprehensive gonzo01 gonz...@fastmail.fm wrote: [quote] The only way I have found to connect Linux to an android device is via Blue Tooth [/quote] Air Droid - if you have a wireless modem/router - its free and works great -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html -- Sent from Kaiten Mail.

[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] On switching ISPs.
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.

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.

At the risk of feeding the android list smile a) if you just connect USB to your linux machine you can browse the phone or mount etc gingerbread etc did this without fuss ice cream needs a do this then that (google it) b) every phone I've seen has options to store contacts on disk (you then get 2: 1 SIM 1 disk) you may then swap sims, delete the sim copy etc etc c) samsung use Kies Air. It does all the above wirelessly. To misquote W.C (Churchill) it is the worst software you've ever seen except for everything else.
