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?
Thread with supposed answer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103967
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.

Im sure this is a noob question and I havent been able to find info on this but when I am getting texts (SMS and MMS) I am only getting the number of the person sending me the text. So even if the person is saved in my contacts it still only shows up with their number and it makes it quite hard to recognize who the text is coming from. I would like all of the threads or texts to show my contacts name like they did on my T-mobile Shadow. Im sorry if this answer was posted elsewhere. I was unable to find it and I am getting more and more annoyed as the days pass. Any info would be great. Thank you.

Unlocked and using T-mobile service.
Your contacts are on the phone not SIM?
According to your sig, I think I can assume you're using the stock rom. I would first make sure that you use the sim manager to save your sim contacts on to the phone itself. if that doesnt work, try a hard reset and save your contacts again.
I got it figured out. A hard reset and saving the SIM contacts to the phone again worked. Thank you for the help.
all sorted
job done
thread closed.
thank you
I have a message on my phone that says that my SIM card is full and I need to clear out messages. Downloaded a SIM card contacts app to view what I have on it and it indicated my SIM card is empty. I also deleted all of my text messages, rebooted the device, cleaned off the card (physically), etc following instructions from multiple threads there. No dice.
Any idea what this thing's problem is?

maybe your SIm card is broken? Have you tried other SIMs on your phone?

I don't have any. Do I just go to the store of my carrier and request they set me up with a new one?

Yup, I had an old Sim, and when I bought this phone I had to get a new one.

Your sim card if full because you've been saving your contacts to your sim card and you shouldn't have done that you should be saving your contacts in you Gmail account you need to delete the contacts from sim and uncheck back up contacts to sim and check gmail account so you will always have your contacts even if you get another Android device

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!
Long story short, in Bullet points
Currently In South America
Trying to access my bank account
Account Requires Text message code to enter
Lost my Sim Card
Have 2 phones (both no sim), laptop, tablet with Sim card
Sprint network.
m8 / S6e / Tab 4
How the hell do I get a text message
Basically, I was a victim of ID Theft last year, and added security to my account requires a text message. I can't change the setting in my bank account without getting into it, which requires the text message, so I'm at a catch 22. I have no SIM card in my phone. My M8 is unlocked/Rooted CMod. My S6 is stock. My Tab 4 has a sim card, but is not GSM and the sim card doesn't fit in either phone. I can't sign up for any Web Text services because it requires you to sign up with a text message verification code. I can't add a number from a friend to get the message, because I need to be in my account to do so. I had set up google voice in the past and my whatsapp number is linked as well as google hangouts, but they send a stand SMS. The bank needs me to fill out forms and stuff to gain access, but it's hard to do without a printer anywhere nearby.
In this day of technology, there has to be a way to get a text message right now to anything.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
I'm afraid that all that can be done to solve your problem is to talk to your carrier to receive a sim card that fits (if possible), or find a temporary carrier that is available in your current location so that you can access to your account again. Keep in contact with your bank so that they understand the situation you face.
Alternatively, you can post in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum since your problem is not phone related. Please note that in order to post, you will need to create a XDA account.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
