Hi i hope you guys can help me.
A few months i migrated from the iphone to the Galaxy S4. Five months in and i am STILL trying to suss out the best way to sync all my info.
(BTW The S4 is a far better phone than the iphone). However, Samsung Kiels is the most badly designed software ive ever experienced, and coming from an iTunes user that is a big statement!
I was recommended to use Double Twist which replicates iTunes. This was great, my life was saved....... until i realised the developers/Google prohibit you from loading files on to the SD card. What an outrageous decision. Basically makes Double Twist absolutely useless. Laughable.
Im still using my MAC laptop and I also have an iPad so it is a necessity to keep iTunes up to date so i can sync my iPad.
I gotta say i think i made a mistake trying to cross platform. I just cant see the S4 being as simple as the iphone and MAC.
As it stands this is how i am syncing my phone:
Contacts with Google gmail
Calendar with Google gmail
Music with Google Play via iTunes
Tasks and Notes with Evergreen
Photos with Dropbox
Document transfer with Wifi Transfer App
Now i used to hate iTunes! But at least it was one platform that would sync everything with one touch of a button with my iPhone and iPad. Now i seem to be all other the place.
For example:
1) How can i sync my Google Calendar/S Planner with my i Calendar on my Mac which inturn will sync with my iPad?
2) If i delete tunes from iTunes will it automatically delete/sync with Google Play?
3) Google Play will not sync song files above 300mb. Ridiculous.
4) How do i load files and songs onto the SD Card?
I would love to love my S4 but as it stands i needs some help!
Thank you
