![]() My parents are not technical and mainly use text and voice. Some quick things… I’m running Ubuntu on a laptop, my parents have a chromebook, we all have google accounts and we now all have android phones. After taking it home, I set it up for him and boy did the fun start. This was fine and he choose a HTC desire 626 as it had a big screen and didn’t cost anything to his contract. On Boxing day we went back and looked into buying him out of his contract. I was pretty pissed about this because my dad already has a google account, chromebook and my mum has this and a Samsung android phone. ![]() The sales person must have rubbed their hands (I felt they took advantage of my dad saying he wanted a Nokia) and sold him a Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone on it. #WAVEBOX CASE NEXUS 4 UPGRADE#He wanted to upgrade his ageing Nokia and went into Carphone warehouse to get a upgrade. My dad has had a Nokia Lumia 635 for a while (over a year). Sync that google account with the Android phone. Login to your Google account on the laptop and import them all. Short answer: Setup a Microsoft Outlook account on the windows phone, sync everything to it then export a CSV of all the contacts on a laptop. #WAVEBOX CASE NEXUS 4 HOW TO#Author Ianforrester Posted on JMaCategories technology-and-computing Tags electron, email, gmail, payment, wavebox, wmail 1 Comment on Wavebox for productivity wins How to copy contacts from Windows phone to Android, without going crazy ![]() Its about the terms, for example Wavebox is actually open source but the terms of what you pay for are fine with me. There is also a misconception that I won’t pay for software and thats rubbish. Yes you have to pay for the pro features but its worth it. Its pretty great and the ability to add almost any site is pretty useful, especially with the lack of Linux support for some things. I was tempted to setup Evernote and maybe laverna, standardnotes, a few other things but this will do for now. For example I use Mastodon and WordPress (the official linux app locks up a lot). But the killer is being able to hook up any site you like. Trello works great as does Slack (but I opted to keep the slack app for now). The things I love about Wavebox is being able to hook up multiple gmail accounts including drive, contacts, calender, etc. It wasn’t long till they got in touch and said they were moving to Wavebox and as a nice extra I would get a year subscription to Wavebox pro. So impressed with Wmail, that I donate to the development for it. So when I first saw Wmail I thought I’d give it a try even with the slight skepticism from some around Electron. ![]() I tried using Evolution, Thunderbird and a few other native email apps but missed some of the nice things Gmail does and supports. I was using Wmail for a while since I got a little fed up with using Gmail in Chrome, it was good but sometimes I found it zapping resources. ![]()
