Blue-tooth Makes the World Go Round

I am feeling soo excited and happy.  Jubilant in fact.  Joy is now radiating out of me, like a white light if you will.:)  It's actually a serendipity.  I knew when I woke up that something good was gonna happen.  Just didn't expect it right now.  In the morning that is.
Moving all my contacts from my BB to my Samsung has been on my "to-do" list for some time now.  I kept postponing it much like I did my Hindi lessons for my degree.  The day I got my new phone, I fiddled around and clicked a few buttons.  This being a smart phone, I had inadvertently synced alot of data from various social media. So I ended up with a whole bunch of contacts from day one itself.    
But in the back of my mind, I knew I had to transfer all the contacts which was in my BB.  Either manually or through some other method.  I'd heard my dad using the drop box and I was thinking I would first need to transfer data from the phone to my PC.  To make sure I was on the right path, I decided to do some internet research.  And that's how I discovered, I could do it via Blue tooth.  I've never used Blue tooth much before.   But today, I was nothing short of amazed.  Can you believe that technology can do this to people?

All I had to do was turn on Blue tooth for both phones.  Each phone scanned and detected the other phone.  I then accepted the devices or rather paired them. When I clicked the track pad on the BB, the option to transfer contacts was shown on the list.  I clicked that and the file was transferred onto my Samsung.  All I had to do now was accept the file. Voila!! All BB contacts with phone numbers on Samsung now.  I did a random test just to make sure.
All this happened in a few minutes.  I was over the moon!!
                                               God bless all the developers.

Always or Just Once?

Have you ever got a new phone and in a week, you can't  make calls?  Well, I was faced with this situation yesterday afternoon and I kept thinking "Why me?  Why my phone".
            The last call I was able to place was through Viber.  After that, I could not make any regular calls.  I would press the call icon and then a blank screen would emerge and vanish like a typical bug. I tried it on different people ( as though that would be the issue!).  Nothing.  No indication of a call. I didn't like the look of it. I checked online and there were various solutions like get a new SIM card, change Wi-fi settings and I tried all that as well.  All to no avail.  Would I have to take my phone to a mobile shop?  In between all this, it did occur to me that something had happened when I used Viber.  I had given the option Always instead of Just Once just before the call was placed in a dreamy haze.  Now I really did not know how to undo that.  So I uninstalled Viber and tried to make a call and voila, me phone was back to normal!!  And then I re - installed Viber and it still worked.  Only this time, I gave the option as Just Once.
 Now these are options, do you want to always place the call using Viber or do you want to make a call with it just once?
  Because when you give the option Always, the default app settings change.  And this is what happened to my phone.  So I could not make calls using the regular mode.  Now if you know how to change the default settings without uninstalling Viber, that's fine.  Otherwise just uninstall, place a regular call and then re-install.  And make sure you set the option to Just Once when you use Viber!!
