How To Backup Your Text Messages Without Reformatting Your Samsung Galaxy Y



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s been months after I posted about Samsung Galaxy Y’s recommended apps. Here’s another app that will definitely helps you restoring your text messages.

 

I’d been having some problems on my inbox. It’s lagging whenever the red message indicator appeared to have an incoming SMS messages though there’s no new messages on it. The only solution is to backup my phone. I have to restore it and start all over again downloading my killer app on Blazing Desire (my Galaxy Y’s nickname).

 

Earlier this morning, while tweaking my Samsung Galaxy Y or GT-S5360, I saw an app on Android Market that will solve my problem without backing up the entire phone.

 

If you see the pictures above, you will notice that my message’s indicator has one new message. But when I opened my inbox, there’s no new SMS on it. All you have to do is to download SMS Back Up and Restore app available on your Android Market.

 

Open your SMS Back Up and Restore app, and if you wanted to back up your text messages ( I have 974 text messages on my phone! :) ) Click on the Backup tab on it. It’s easily store the entire messages on your SD card.

 

Then, restore your inbox. In my case, after I’d backed up my huge volume of text messages, restore my inbox and restore it again my almost a thousand important text messages. I saw one missing messages that I didn’t read yesterday.

Gary V At Eastwood City | Countdown To 2012

 

GARY Valenciano closes 2011 with his pure energy as he frontlines Eastwood City’s countdown to 2012 on Dec. 31 (Saturday) in a grand musical event that will happen at Eastwood Mall Open Park.

2011 proved to be a very fruitful and blessed year for Gary V as he scored numerous victories both here and abroad.

For the past year, Gary V has once again conquered the hearts of his fans around the world in his successful trips to Korea, New Zealand, Malaysia, USA, and Canada. It should be noted that Gary is the only Filipino artist along with sons Paolo and Gabriel – Paolo a rising singer (tapped to frontline Rivermaya in select concerts this year) and Gab being an award-winning dancer and record producer – who performed in the 50th anniversary live concert of CBN in Virginia Beach, USA.

Here in the Philippines, it can be recalled that Gary opened the year with a record breaking concert to launch his new fragrance line with Aficionado in “1@11″ with Charice Pempengco, performing to a mammoth 60,000 crowd.

Gary’s CD “Replay” under Universal Records was awarded a Platinum Record Award for its outstanding sales while his “With Love, Gary Valenciano” CD under Star Records – a compilation of the movie and teleserye theme songs he performed and recorded over the years – has currently reached Gold status.

Aside from inspiring the nation every week and leading the party on “ASAP Rocks,” he had a TV special which marked his 28th anniversary in the business. The special is a spin-off of his successful “With Love” CD and it was directed by Johnny Manahan. “With Love, Gary Valenciano” had such positive feedback that ABS-CBN replayed in on MYX five times.

From his much talked about and stirring rendition of the theme song of the hit soap “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin,” Gary was once again chosen to perform the theme song of the upcoming soap “Walang Hanggan.”

Another notable milestone that happened this year is the recent alliance that Gary V forged with M Lhuillier.

He was also honored by Anak TV Seal as he was awarded its coveted Hall of Fame Award for consistently landing on the Top Five slots of the child-friendly television personality survey for the last seven years. Gary capped his humanitarian activities for the year with UNICEF in their recent trip to Cagayan de Oro and Iligan to reach out to the victims of typhoon Sendong.

The New Year’s countdown in Eastwood culminates Gary’s artistic odyssey for 2011. The show kicks off at 6p.m. with performances by The Dawn, Amber Davis, Urbanation, Philippine All-Stars, and Billy Crawford. The main event features Gary with Paolo Valenciano, Adlib Dancers and Gabriel Valenciano, with Mon Faustino as Gary’s Musical Director.

Fans and music aficionados can look forward to an unforgettable evening of pure energy with Gary V as he dishes out his greatest hits culled from his catalogue of multi-platinum albums as well as some of today’s hottest chart-toppers, and homegrown favorites while they all party and welcome the arrival of the New Year!

“2011 is truly a great year! There are so many things to be thnkful for. I have been blessed with a very good year and I am looking forward to a bigger and brighter 2012,” says Gary.

For 2012, Gary V fans can look forward to a new full-length studio album, more innovative and energy-packed concerts, and possibly his much-awaited comeback to the silver screen in a full-length feature film.

“I believe that anything can happen and I am very excited with all the great and wonderful possibilities that are in store for us in 2012! I am geared up to face 2012 and see what The Lord has in store for all of us,” says Gary.

Nikon Launches V1 and J1 Camera

Share

Are you the type of person who always wanted to take some pictures and at the same time want to capture every moment in a video?


 

 

Recently, Nikon and Electroworld launched Nikon 1 system with their sleek J1 and V1 camera. 


J1 small sensor mirrorless camera ismore compact, less expensive model in the line up and, like the V1, features Hybrid autofocus (combining phase detection and contrast detection AF) that allows the camera to shoot at up to 10 frames-per-second with autofocus. The J1 has only an electronic shutter, limiting sync speed to 1/60th of a second but allowing shutter speeds of up to 1/16000th of a second. It’s built around a 1″ type (13.2mm x 8.8mm) 10MP CMOS sensor, giving a 2.7x crop, which Nikon is calling ‘CX’ format. Like the V1, it can shoot 1080i60 video. The J1 kit with 10-30mm (27-81mm equiv). It’s fastest and easy to use.

 

One of the feature in J1 that I really like is Motion Snapshot. With Motion Snapshot, there’s a new approach to capturing images that will dramatically alter the way we perceive digital photography. By selecting the Motion Snapshot icon from the Mode Dial at the back of the camera, consumers can capture fleeting moments with staggering depth and emotion like never before. The result unites a frozen still image with a slow-motion movement set to a built-in audio soundtrack to create a portrayal of an occurrence with maximum impact. With Motion Snapshot, users are now able to relive memories in stunning detail, as real movement and depth are included in the image. Motion Snapshot provides a way to once again experience someone’s hair flowing in the breeze or relaxing scenes like waves crashing or rustling leaves that evoke an emotional response.


With its interchangeable lenses that features new technologies aimed at creating better pictures, easier. Nikon’s new Smart Photo Selector feature strives to deliver a perfect image every time. When a “can’t miss” photo opportunity arises, users can switch to the Smart Photo Selector mode which uses the camera’s pre-cache to start shooting and storing images. All of these images are analyzed within the camera, and the best photo is selected based on a number of factors including exposure, focus and advanced facial recognition. While the camera suggests the best image, five frames are recorded, providing the user a choice of their favorite photo. What’s more,  J1 also includes favorite core Nikon technologies, such as Active D-lighting, Auto Scene Selector and Picture Controls.
