Posted: 28 Feb 2014 07:44 AM PST

Using iTunes to Transfer Contacts:

There are plenty of ways to transfer contacts from an iPhone to an Android device, but one of the most common methods is through iTunes. For this approach you need a PC with iTunes installed, an internet connection and the iPhone's USB connector.

  1. Open iTunes on your computer
  2. Using the proprietary USB cable, connect your iPhone to the computer
  3. Your smartphone will appear in iTunes. Click it
  4. Go to the "Info" tab
  5. Mark the "Sync Contacts With" check box and choose "Google Contacts" form the drop-down list
  6. Enter your Google account's log in information if this is the first time you've added a Google account. Otherwise, you can click "Configure" and choose from a previously added account
  7. Click "Apply" and iTunes will start syncing your contacts with the Google account
  8. On your ZTE Supreme, register the same Google account by going to "Settings" > "Accounts"
  9. Set the account so that it syncs contacts with your Android device

Using iCloud to Transfer Contacts:

As long as you've used iCloud on your iPhone before, there's a high possibility that your contacts have already been backed up on your iCloud account. Using a computer, you can export these contacts in the form of a VCF file.

  1. Open your computer's Internet browser and visit https://www.icloud.com/
  2. Sign in with your iCloud account and click "Contacts"
  3. From the list of contacts, select the ones that you want to export
  4. Click the button depicted as a cog wheel, and select "Export vCard"
  5. A VCF file containing the contacts will now be downloaded on your computer
  6. Import the file to "Google Contacts". Alternatively, you can connect your ZTE Supreme to the computer via USB and transfer the vCard file to the device's "sdcard" directory. Then, open the "Contacts" application and tap "Menu" > "Import / Export" > "Import from SD card". Select the desired account and VCF file if necessary, and tap "OK"

Using the "My Contacts Backup" Application to Transfer Contacts:

My Contacts Backup is an iOS app that can help you transfer your contacts from an iPhone to an Android device via email. The app compiles your contacts in a VCF file, and for this method you don't need access to a computer.

  1. Install "My Contacts Backup" on your iPhone, from the App Store
  2. Open the application and tap "Backup"
  3. After the backup is complete, tap "Email" and attach the VCF file to it
  4. Enter your Gmail address as the email's recipient, and send the email
  5. Pick up the ZTE Supreme and open the email
  6. Download the attached VCF file to import the contacts to your device via the "Contacts" application

Using the "Bump" App to Transfer Contacts:

If you don't have access to a PC, then you can use the "Bump" application to transfer your contacts via cloud. For this method, all you need is an active Internet connection on both your smartphones, and you're all set. The transfer is done via cloud.

  1. On your iPhone, visit the App Store and download "Bump"
  2. Install the application on your ZTE Source from the Play Store
  3. Launch the application on both smartphones and allow any permissions when prompted to do so
  4. On the iPhone, swipe to the contacts section
  5. From the list, select the contacts that you want to share
  6. When the "Bump now!" label appears in the top-right corner, lightly bump the two smartphones together
  7. Tap the "Connect" button that should appear on the display of both smartphones

You also don't need access to a computer, but you are required to have an active Internet connection on both smartphones.

To have the best cell phone case

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 06:54 PM PST

Ideal for people who like to carry their phones on their belts, pouches generally come with heavy-duty belt clips that attach securely to your waist, allowing a safe place to keep your phone. One of the main advantages of pouches as a protective carrying solution is that they are generally very sturdy and have very strong belt clips. In terms of protection, it offers great protection when your phone is in the pouch but your phone is completely exposed to damage when taken out.Choosing a good case can be a dilemma since on the one hand it is not reasonable to spend big money for a simple accessory, while on the other hand, protection of a phone still matters.

Simple GSM Flip Phone

Posted: 20 Feb 2014 10:57 AM PST

Looking for a cell phone with the following characteristics:

1. GSM/T-Mobile compatible
2. Flip phone
3. NOT a smart phone, no Droid/WinCE/whatever. The stupider the better, though a camera would be nice (but not required)
4. Good all round "phone" characteristics--reception, sound quality, durability, battery life; ruggedized would be nice but not required
5. Fast interface--I want to push buttons and have stuff happen immediately. Think the old Startac, or similar; newer phones I've used tend to be unbearably unresponsive.

How-to: Easily Transfer Contacts from an iPhone to the ZTE Warp 4G Using a Computer or Apps

Posted: 19 Feb 2014 05:35 AM PST

Using iTunes to Transfer Contacts:

Those of you who have access to a computer with iTunes installed can use the software in order to sync your iPhone contacts with a Google account. This makes it easy to grab the contacts from the account, and sync them with your Android device – in this case the ZTE Warp 4G

  1. Open iTunes on your computer
  2. Connect your iPhone to your PC using the proprietary USB cable
  3. After it connects, the iPhone will appear in iTunes. Click it and go to the "Info" tab
  4. Mark the "Sync Contacts With" check box, and pick "Google Contacts" from the drop-down menu
  5. If you haven't added a Google account before, enter your Google log in details. Otherwise, click "Configure" and choose an existing account
  6. Click "Apply" and allow iTunes to sync the contacts on your iPhone with the Google account
  7. On your ZTE Warp 4G, register the same Google account by going to "Settings" > "Accounts"
  8. Set the account so that it can sync contacts with your device

Using iCloud for Contact Transfer:

As long as you've used iCloud on your iPhone prior to this guide, chances are that your contacts have been backed up on your iCloud account. By accessing it, you can export the contacts in the form of a VCF file. To do so:

  1. Open the Internet browser on your PC and visit https://www.icloud.com/
  2. Log in to your iCloud account and click "Contacts"
  3. From the list of contacts, mark the ones that you want to export
  4. Click the "Settings" icon located in the bottom-left area
  5. Select "Export vCard" and a VCF file will be downloaded on your computer
  6. Import the vCard file in "Google Contacts", or alternatively, connect your ZTE smartphone to your PC via USB, copy the VCF file in the "sdcard" directory and import the file using the contacts application. Press "Menu" > "Import / Export" > "Import from SD" / "Storage" and follow any additional self-explanatory steps

Using the "My Contacts Backup" App:

The iTunes and iCloud methods require access to a computer, but with the help of applications you can still transfer contacts from an iPhone, without the need of a PC. My Contacts Backup is an iOS app designed to share contacts via email. To use this approach:

  1. Go to the App Store and install "My Contacts Backup" on your iPhone
  2. Launch the application
  3. Tap "Backup" and your contacts will be compiled in a VCF file
  4. After the backup file is created, tap "Email" in order to attach it to an email
  5. Type in your own Gmail address as the recipient, and send the email to your address
  6. Switch over to the ZTE Warp 4G and open the email
  7. Download the attachment and import the VCF file using the contacts application

Using the "Bump" Application:

If you want to transfer your iPhone contacts in a unique way, then "Bump" might be the answer you need. This iOS and Android application can send contacts from one phone to another via cloud, so you won't need a computer, Bluetooth, NFC, an email account or anything else, aside from an active Internet connection.

  1. Install "Bump" on your ZTE from the Play Store
  2. Download the same app on your iPhone, from the App Store
  3. Open the application on both smartphones. When prompted, allow permissions
  4. Switch to the iPhone and access the contacts screen
  5. From the list of contacts, select the ones that you want to transfer
  6. When the "Bump now!" message appears, you can lightly bump the two smartphones to commence the transfer process
  7. A "Connect" button should appear on the screen of both smartphones. Tap it, and your iPhone contacts will be copied over to the ZTE Warp 4G via cloud
