Please keep in mind that this is all new to me.
A new problem. I upgraded my friend's Xperia X10a, from Android 1.6 to Android 2.1-update1. Everything was fine for a couple of days, but now, all his phone contacts are gone. I tried to re-import from the SIM, but it indicates that there are no contacts on the SIM. I took out the battery and the SIM several times but it did not help. I put the SIM into a RAZR V3 and the contacts are definitely on the SIM. Can I import the contacts from the RAZR to my PC, and then back to the X10? If that's possible, how do I download the contacts from the RAZR to the PC? Is there a simpler better way to import the contacts?

What is the easiesit way to get all of my contacts onto the SIM?
Sometimes, I leave my XDA II behind and use my SPV. I'd like to just swap SIMs and take the contacts with me.
Is there a quick way to do this?
Can the contacts be permantly on the SIM and still sync with ActiveSync?
Thanks in anticipation.
i believe that the sim manager does that

here if your rom dont have it
otherwise i suppose you could enter contacts and open the keyboard and press ctrl a and choose all contacts and tab and choose save to sim
Thanks Rudegar. That worked.
Interestingly, with Radio Off it doesn't allow copying of the contacts the the SIM.
I've no idea why. Just seems a bit odd.
well if i go flight mode on and off
i have to retype my pincode so that could make one asume
that when it's off the whole sim is off
I have transferred all my contacts from my mobile phone SIM to my XDA
using the SIM manager. I have now updated my contacts on my XDA
adding addresses and other details.
If I want to transfer these updated contacts back to a SIM, what
details will go across to the SIM? Is it just name and telephone
number?
Thanks.
i think that what your cellphone can display as contact info is what the sim can hold infomationwise
sim contacts
Only the basic names and mumbers will be saved on sim.
If you want tho save the full addresses etc then you need to save your contacts file in full to your memory card, or to your PC. You can also save using backup.
You can also save them in outlook.
Its a real pain but the PDA looses everything but the basics if the battery goes down.
I posted this in the N00B question thread but I was told to make a new thread.
So my friend got an Unlocked Atrix 2 and she is using it on T-mobile. When the sim is inserted she can make phone calls and send text messages but it says the sim card is full and it wont let her import the contacts from the sim card to her google account. In fact it says there are no contacts but that is definitely not the case because if you put it into the old phone they all show up. That being said I found a thread that apparently has the answer but I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do. Am I going to have to root the phone so that I can modify the XML system files?

I since rooted the device just so that I have the ability to do more but the Atrix 4G thread was of no help. I don't know what they did in there to get it to work. Anyone have any ideas?
Why don't you use the old phone to sync contacts with Google, then login with the same Google account on the new phone and sync again.

Hi people!
I have an HTC Windows 8X phone locked to AT&T.
I'm a newbie to the forum so please don't hang me for asking but is there any way to backup other phone info besides your app settings?
I had to do a reset but using the cloud backup only allowed my programs and a few other things.
My phonebook, wireless settings, email settings, icon placement etc had to all be redone.
I know it does the apps, pix and texts but I'd at least like to have my phonebook if nothing else.
I had my old phonebook copied from my old phone (a Moto on AT&T) and they (AT&T) copied my phonebook from the old
SIM to the new one. I was then able to copy from the SIM to the phone... but you can't copy back to the SIM so any and all
contact updates and corrections can't be stored on the SIM again for future transfers back and they aren't backed up to the cloud.
I actually do like the phone, I just wish they'd give you more options as to what to back up so I don't have to wind up
writing down all my contacts for manual re-entry should something go haywire.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
Hello,
I have two Android phones and want to swap a sim card in and out as I wish. I know people do this, but is there any way to sync text messages on both phones, so you don't have a conversation on one phone that doesn't show up when you put the sim card into the other phone. Thanks!
