How to Make the Switch from iOS to Android


How to Make the Switch from iOS to Android

You've been hanging back, waiting for the dust to settle around the iPhone 5 debut. Now that the reviews are in, you're out. It's time to trade in the Cupertino Kool-Aid for some Jelly Beans. Here's how to do it right.

Contacts and Calendars

Migrating your contacts and calendar dates from iPhone to Android is as simple as setting up Google Sync. As long as you're running iOS 3.0 or above, and already have an active Google or Gmail account, you can do it directly through your phone:
  • On your iPhone select Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
  • Set up a new "Microsoft Exchange" account (yes, even if you're trying to import from Gmail).
  • Input your email address and login info. Enter a domain if you have one for an actual ME server; Gmail users can leave it blank.
  • Select "Server" then either input the ME server address or "m.google.com" for Gmail.
  • On the final screen, select what you want to import—Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and/or Reminders—then hit Accept.
