Transfer from iPhone to g3 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I guess finally convinced the wife to switch to android. She wanted to match my g3 and loves it. Only issue is she wants me to convert her books and audio books from iPhone iTunes to play on the g3. I looked and downloaded all sorts of stuff to my computer but can't get it to work. Can anyone help me here. Thanks in advance.

Last time I checked, there was no -legal- way to transfer books bought on iTunes into a non-iOS environment... That was 2 years ago, but I doubt things have changed... You may be out of luck here.

U think audio books too. Technically. It's just a different format. I changed the name of file type and it read and showed all the pictures as if it was playing but no,sound. It even had the bar moving like it was playing

Audiomanager_eng.exe keeps crashing

Hello,
I bought new HTC TOUCH PRO 2 with Sprint. I have 16 GB SC card installed, and I copied around 8GB of music too it.
The experience has been miserable - half the time after 5 to 8 seconds of playing a song, it crashes, and I get the error audiomanager_eng.exe has crashed, etc.
I search this forum and found a thread suggesting to install two cab files to fix the issue - however it wasn't until after I installed them, I saw they were for windows mobile 6.5. So, I tried uninstalling them with the remove programs.
Now, when I try to goto the sprint music player, nothing comes up but a black screen, and then it relaunches touch flo 3d. How can I fix this? Or is there a better music player then the built in touch flo spring music?
I'm pretty disappointed in this device. It can't play simple mp3 files? wtf?
The whole reason I got this phone was for exchange support, and not spending 200 bucks on an IPOD.
im having the same problem and i posted a thread asking about it...wouldnt u know, i didnt get a useful response either...if i find and answer ill definitely let you know
Any ideas for alternative music players? Anyone have original cabs for sprint music player so I can re-install?
I have had this problem before. I reflashed my phone and reset a few times only to find it was a problem with the files on my memory stick. I formatted my card and put music back on and it works great now. Hope this helps

[Q] Google Music - Got my invite! Any tips/tricks?

After about a month, I finally got it. Uploading my library now, probably going to max out my storage .
Anyone have any hints, tips or tricks on things that can be done with Google Music?
my learning
If you use an AT&T Microcell the Ping delay will go through the roof while uploading and will impact your ability to make calls.
On my 3G iPhone it appears that a song is playing fine but you can't hear. You need hit the pause button on the player and then play button so you can hear a song. Frankly Google Music doesn't work very well on my iPhone.
If you found any tip sites I'd like to know them.
I got an invite 8 days ago & just barely started uploading my music yesterday night. I've got the app for my Epic running SRF 1.1.1 & it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it might have something to do with the phone's modem? I'm not sure, but I'm only seeing the music on my SD. I checked my settings in the app & it is connected to my account, but it won't display the uploaded music at all. Damn it!

I had the same issue with the app. I had it installed before I received my invite. Simply uninstalled and reinstalled google music on my phone. Issue resolved...for me at least.

Actually because your phone is rooted.
I heard you can clear the apps data and it works , might not but give it a try

works okay for me on stock rooted ec05.. It fine with a few songs, but once I got to around 10,000 songs both the web interface and the android app became a lot slower and less responsive.
Also, the uploader will rape your home bandwidth if you let it.. My 20/2 ends up slower than dialup with that thing running. There are throttle controls, but they didn't seem to help, the problem only went away for me when I turned it off completely. Also it prevents the screensaver from activating.. wtf? The phone player could use more features, as could the web player. Web interface failed the girlfriend test. After using it for a few minutes she declared it "unfriendly" and went back to using grooveshark.
On the one hand, it's cool having my entire mp3 library available when I'm away from home, but on the other hand grooveshark is still better for me to find new music.
On my rooted Droid X (Apex 2.0 Beta), i've had zero issues.
A few tips: Rather than trying to upload your collection during the day, do it while you sleep. It doesn't modify the bitrate, so if you're uploading a 320kbs file that is 6MB in size ... well, you get the idea.
Be prepared for some organization on the site itself. Unless you're quite particular about your ID3 tags, you will have to rename some songs, locate/update/upload new or clearer quality album art (Google Images works fine for this), and combine groups of songs from the same album into one album listing(generally is the result of some of the songs having no 'Album Artist' and some having it... tip, just highlight all, put the Artist in both groups, Ctrl+F5, win.)
Last thoughts... the widget is really bad right now, but the UI isn't awful. While you can presently filter in 2 ways 1) All music or 2) Only music on your phone,... there isn't a way to only filter online stuff. But, when you have no data connection (3G or WiFi), it will gray the online music out.
But really, take this all with the Beta grain of salt. GMail was in beta at one point, and took awhile to become the slick e-mail machine it is now. I have no doubt Google Music will only get better.
do you know, if i update an id-tag on my computer is the same mp3 going to be updated also on Google Music?
If the file size or name of the music file doesn't change then I don't think a Tag will trigger the re-upload. It may be worth a try though.
Anyone know of a good "free" MP3 tagger, that will go through and ID and correct the tags of my MP3s before I upload them?
I think pretty much all of my MP3s have had their tags removed

Several free ones, with reviews for each one.
I've had Google music for a while now (just started using it recently) and I have to say, for it being beta, it's pretty good. Although, I do have some beef with a few things.
Widget sucks: There's the song name, forward, and pause/play button. That's it. I don't like it and I find myself just playing music through the app itself.
Data is wonky: I've noticed that sometimes that GM will load random songs incorrectly and sound like crap. The only way I've found to fix this is going to settings/apps/music and clearing the data and cache. It has to reload the songs but if you start listening to music on wifi or a good 3g connection, songs will load correctly.
Web Interface, YUCK!: Nit picking here but I hate the look of the web interface. Works great though.
App needs equalizer and lockscreen playlist: I'm drawing this complaint after using Power Amp. If GM could model their app after Power Amp, it'd be perfect
Even though it's all complaining, I still recommend this app to music users (on sprint only). After songs are cached on your phone, it hardly draws any data, but I still wouldn't use it on AT&T and Verizon...but that's just because of their stupid cap. It has loads of potential, and I can't wait to see it

[Q] Windows 7 MTP Copy To Device Warning

Is there any way to remove the warning when copying songs or movies over to the Galaxy Nexus on windows 7 via MTP? It's not really harming anything but it is quite annoying and an unneccesary extra step.
I've been looking for a solution to this for the longest time.
A zeppelin song as an MKV? Am I missing something, lol.
I know this doesn't help, at all, but I used to get those messages. After reformatting windows due to a computer upgrade, those messages went away.
Perhaps it was because I didn't use windows updates at all, but my new system is completely up to date. Give that a shot. I tried searching around for an answer a few months ago, and couldn't come up with anything.
You would have better luck on Windows 7 forums asking for help with this.

Did you copy mkv files? It only says that for files it does not understand/recognize with WMP, I think.

You are correct, I get the same message when copying an MKV.
Has anyone ever found a solution to this? So annoying..
I have the same problem, but with all files.. ever .mp3's, so i dont think its because WMP cant read them :S

Samsung Cloud Question

My Note arrived. It's great but weird having used iPhones for the last 6 years. I feel somewhat uncomfortable using it but that's because I'm still finding my way around.
Anyway I have a question. I don't get how to use Samsung cloud. I don't get how to back up my photos. It's saying I've used 150MB of cloud storage but I have around 1.5GB of photos. I've also moved all my photos from SD card to internal pictures folder. Any help?
Thanks
Using IOS for six years and then moving to Android is such a big jump most people wouldnt dare, so, seriously, hats off to you.
Anyway, since you are new to Android, I would suggest to just use the Google photos App and backup everything (photos) to your google account and you would get much more freedom.

Thanks, I still use iOS for the iPad and I'm also a Mac user. So far, the only issue I've had is transferring music from the Mac to the phone. Have you got any suggestions for that? Android file transfer keeps crashing

Since I use Windows, I never needed an application to transfer music or files from my laptop and this is the case with most if not all Android phones. I would suggest to download Kies (which is like Itunes of Samsung phones), just google Kies for Mac and it will be your first hit.
I am suggesting Kies for another motive, which is you might have a driver problem that does not work well when you connect the phone to your laptop. So when you install the software it will probably fix that and you would not need the software ever again *fingers crossed*. Or you can use Kies anyway, you might like it.

I too switched from iOS to android which meant I needed to transfer my iTunes library to my note 7. I used something called isyncr which is free on the desktop available for windows and Mac but it costs £7.99 in the Google play store (unless you want the extremely limited free version). Anyway, I bought it and it was super easy to setup, you select specific playlists, srtistd, albums whatever you want. Then it took about like 10-15 minutes and I transferred nearly 2000 songs onto my SD card. It was really handy.

Retrieve data from LG Quick Memo for a non LG device?

Hey all,
Let me start by saying that after searching a bit, I've come to the conclusion that there is no way to run the LG Quick memo app on non LG devices.
Here's the story:
The LCD-Digitizer on my G3 (D580) suddenly died. When the screen displayed, but was just unresponsive to touch, I was able to work around it by operating the phone via USB OTG cable and mouse. But suddenly, it stopped even displaying anything, which is frustrating because I took excellent care of it (no water damage/shock damage, always had it in a rugged case with screen protector). Anyway. I've switched over to a Huawei Honor 8, IMHO the most affordable flagship.
What I miss most from my G3 are the notes that I know I synced to an email address in the LG note app. Any ideas on how I can view those again without access to my G3? I can't afford to repair the screen because the part is so expensive!
Am I the only one with this issue? I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks!
Even though I never got a response, I figured out my own workaround and I'm so relieved that I'll pay it forward.
The solution that worked for me:
If you had the foresight to sync your memos before you lost screen functionality, then getting them back is as simple as walking into a T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon store and using an LG device on display (or borrowing a friend's). I didn't really think about it, my syncing was more like dumb luck than foresight to be honest, but ANYWAY
Sign into the Quick Memo Plus app on the LG device that you have access to and use your backup/retrieval method of choice. I can confirm that LG G3, G4, G5, and K10 have Quick Memo Plus but there may be other LG devices that will do the job. The only reason that this is an issue is because LG Quick Memo Plus is an app that will only work on some LG devices. It's not available in the Play Store and even if you have the apk, it will not install on non-LG devices. (Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong, it has something to do with odexes and the LG framework)
Once I was able to view my memos, I went through them one-by-one and copied the most irreplaceable ones to an email draft. Took a few minutes but it was worth it. Be sure to sign out of the display phone/your friend's phone before you leave and be sure that the notes are not viewable even after you sign out. I know that even after I signed out of Google, the memos were still viewable on the display phone, so I had to select them all and delete them from that phone.
I hope that this helps if anyone finds themselves in a similar situation.
Sent from my FRD-L04 using XDA Free mobile app
Instead of hand-copying memos to an email, you can export the entire note collection and email that. It exports to a .lqm file, which is only really openable with QuickMemo+, but it's also in plaintext, so you can open it with a text editor and see your notes. This is a good idea only if you have several dozens of notes you want to recover just need to store the text.
LG QuickMemo+ issue with using other devices
I've been scouring the internet for something that'll let me log into QuickMemo+ online or another app. I came across this & I'm glad I didn't have to spend countless hours looking for a solution! Thank you so much! ??
Why just dont use google keep... That problems is enougs reason not to use anything specific to LG. Like lg backup etc...
Can anyone here pls provide instructions for how to send my entire notes?
I have an LG G7 & I'd like to keep my QuickMemo+ notes for the future in either my gmail or a google type app in case my phone dies. I read the instructions provided by someone in this thread but I am not a techie so they were missing a few "steps for morons" lol that I need. Can anyone dumb it down and write it out more fully? Thank you so much!
Here are some basic instructions

So what you can simply do is extract the .lqm by 7zip or winrar or any app of the sorts you will get a couple of folders which are images, drawings, videos and audios. But what interests us is the memoinfo.jlqm which you can rename the file and changes the extension into a .txt so it'd become memoinfo.txt which can be opened with almost any text viewing app. Now there will be a lot of "garbage" but within the "garbage" the text that was in the memo will be there. And that's it if you want the text but I don't know whether or not the photos or audio files are saved normally or in a proprietary format. Hope this helped.
