  • Windows 7 – if you cannot open Gadgets menu or some Gadgets are hidden

    There was a problem in my Windows 7 desktop a while ago. Supposed to be, there were two Gadgets in there, and I noticed the other is missing. I thought maybe I just accidentally removed it, so I decided to open the Gadgets menu to place it on my Windows 7 desktop again. BUT when I right click and select Gadgets, nothing happens. I tried choosing Gadgets again a few more times, but the Gadgets menu really would not show. I even tried going to Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Desktop Gadgets, but still, nothing happened.

    I searched Google and found a forum with the solution. It was very simple, actually. (more…)

  • How to transfer contacts from O2 Xda Atom Exec phone to Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-i5503

    I think this is my first ever blog entry about gadgets. lol. I’m not really into gadgets but I ran into a problem last night, so I thought I’d post the solution here.

    ’twas a troublesome night and morning for me. Since last night I was trying to export / copy all O2 Xda Atom Exec phone contacts into a SIM card. This old cellphone, O2 Xda Atom Exec, by default, can only “Save to SIM” contacts individually. There’s no multiple selection. What I wanted to do was export the O2 Atom contacts into a SIM card, and from the SIM card export to another phone – Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-I5503… or is it GT-15503? 🙂

    I had so much trouble doing this last night, and I won’t elaborate that anymore. Here’s the hassle-free (or less hassle) way of moving your contacts from your O2 Xda Atom Exec phone into Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-I5503. This might work too even if the other phone isn’t Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-I5503.

    Please bear with me – always mentioning the full model names of the phones! lol.
