Sync Contacts between your Android and Nokia phones thru Google Contacts and Nokia Sync..

Manish Agrawal — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 08:17:16 GMT

Google provides you a very good contacts manager. http://contacts.google.com

Google also gives you the ability to synchronize your phone contacts with the contacts on your gmail account. I found this quick tutorial to do contacts sync on Nokia 5800 xpress music phone.

Now contacts on my Android phone (Google Nexus One) and Nokia phone (5800 Xpress Music) as always in Sync and backed up ;)

Steps of enabling the Contatct (only Contacts) Sync on Nokia 5800.

Without images:
Go to Menu -> settings -> Connectivity -> Data transfer -> Sync -> New sync profile
In the 1st page put any name for the profile.
In the 2nd page select "1.2"
In the 3rd page select ONLY Contacts.
In the 4rth page type "Contacts" (without the quotes).
In the 5th page select "Internet"
In the 6th page type "https://m.google.com/syncml" (watch out for the "s" on "https")
In the 7th page type "Google" (capital ‘G’ is important)
In the 8th page put the user name of your account.
In the 9th page put the password of your account

Once you are over with the pages it will go you to "sync"
You will press options -> Change active profile -> The name of your profile
It's ready for you to try it!

Go to your contacts and press Options -> Synchronization -> Start
It is ready!!!!!

Note: At a time it syncs 50 contacts, so you may have to run it multiple times.

CouchDB - Replication Test - between CouchDB servers on Android 2.2.1 and Windows 7

Manish Agrawal — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 03:10:32 GMT

Step 1:

Download CouchDB on your Android phone from Android Market Place:

info available at: http://www.couchone.com/android

Step 2:

Download CouchDB on your Windows machine

info available at: http://www.couchone.com/get#win

Download link: http://dl.couchone.com/dl/6d2f7222ef93871d5151d1462f002941/couchdb_1-1.00%20erlangR14A%20delayed-commits-false.zip

after unzip, it looks like this:

Step 3:

Check IP of your Windows machine

Note: Your Android phone and Windows machine shall be on the same network (in case of local network).

Step 4:

On your Windows machine, Goto etc/couchdb folder in the CouchDB directory and change the IP from 127.0.0.1 to your Windows machine IP in local.ini file

Step 5:

On your Windows machine, Goto bin/ folder in the CouchDB directory,

Run the couchdb.bat file, it will show the following log

Erlang R14A (erts-5.8) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0]

Eshell V5.8 (abort with ^G)

1> Apache CouchDB 1.0.0 (LogLevel=info) is starting.

Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax.

[info] [<0.44.0>] Apache CouchDB has started on http://192.168.0.2:5984/

Step 6:

Access http://192.168.0.2:5984/_utils URL from your Android phone browser

It should show the CouchDB page with database names.

And immediately it will show this log in the Erlang server window:

[info] [<0.107.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /_utils 301

[info] [<0.107.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /_all_dbs 200

[info] [<0.169.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /_session 200

[info] [<0.107.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' / 200

[info] [<0.169.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /_users/ 200

[info] [<0.168.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /xyz/ 200’

Step 7:

Now Open the CouchDB on Android phone Notification bar. (You will see the local IP of the phone i.e. 127.0.0.1:5984)

Create a new database… (in my case database name was xyzA)

Go to Replicator link on the right side of the page

In From DB, fill the http url of your CouchDB running on your Windows desktop

for e.g. http://192.168.0.2:5984/xyz (xyz was the database name on my Windows CouchDB)

In To DB, select the newly created database from the dropdown which shows _replicator as selected by default.

or in case if the newly created db is not there in the dropdown list,

fill the http URL, for e.g. http://127.0.0.1:5984/xyzA

Note: even though new database is created, it may not appear on the Local Database dropdown on the Replicator page

Remember to Reload/Refresh the page in your Android Browser always, you may have to do it at many different times on various pages.

You can select Continuous check box for continuous replication between the two.

Press Replicate button

Immediately it will show this log in the Erlang server window:

[info] [<0.742.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /xyz/ 200

[info] [<0.743.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /xyz/_local%2F34c99c134a502c2cd41d6df7775902e2 404

[info] [<0.744.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /xyz/_local%2F6ed566d89c8c3c6b5c00ddb810717b2d 404

[info] [<0.745.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /xyz/_changes?style=all_docs&heartbeat=10000&since=0&feed=continuous 200

[info] [<0.746.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /xyz/e63b8aa6b2685686199c7e131900052f?open_revs=["1-6371fc9e2fa97f39bd567a3649b3a825"]&revs=true&latest=true&att_encoding_info=true 200

[info] [<0.749.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'GET' /xyz/f1ca5a35948b802b82a346a792000e20?open_revs=["2-a73c0007b41ce0b84b6960cd55b2d487"]&revs=true&latest=true&att_encoding_info=true 200

[info] [<0.750.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'POST' /xyz/_ensure_full_commit?seq=3 201

[info] [<0.757.0>] 192.168.0.3 - - 'PUT' /xyz/_local%2F34c99c134a502c2cd41d6df7775902e2 201

Problems identified during this exercise:

1. In CouchDB web UI, to change any field value, one has to double click, but if you have opened CouchDB Web UI in Android Browser, double click/double tap work as zoom feature!!

2. Continuous Replication stopped working, once my Android phone moved from WiFi to EDGE and back, I had to restart CouchDB on Android and again set up the replication!!

Sixth Sense -- What a Demo!!

When you think out of the box, this is what is the possibility, you can make something so advanced with something so simple... and that also cheaper than the current available options....

Thanks to Parnav Mistry and Pattie Maes for such a brilliant work they have done.

I bet you will not be able to stop yourself from clapping after looking at the video / future.
