My wife has just acquired a GT -18150 from her sister and after clearing the old info I transferred the contacts from her old Nokia to the samsung phone memory and all seemed to work well but today the contacts are only available from the sim card memory but not the phone memory. My grandaughter was trying to alter the font size for messaging and may have done something else. How can I ensure that the contacts button uses the phone memory rather than the sim card? I still have the contacts saved on the pc so do I need to reinstall them or is there a way of making the phone use the phone memory?

I recently upgraded my Defy to CM7 but when I try to make it import my contacts from the SIM card it says there is none.
I'm sure there were some contacts there since I used that SIM card on an old phone, is there a way for me to get these contacts back ?
ps: Unfortunately my contacts weren't on my google account, for another reason, so there is no way to get them there.
The same thing has happened to me but I deleted them from your phone happens to me sometimes when I turn off or reboot. However, not have them stored on a file in memory card?
No, unfortunately I don't have any kind of backup, that's why I wanted to know if there isn't a way to check if those contacts are still there, or some kind of tool to get them back.
What I don't understand is how they disappeared, I never deleted them or messed with the SIM options.
Sorry for the shameless bump, but...anyone ?
got the new one today and put in my sim card from the old one but none of my stuff is there other than my contacts. music gone, messages, and everything else. How can i get it back. dont want to start all over again. Please help
None of those things are stored on your Sim card. They are either on the phone's internal memory or on an SD card if the phone has one. You need to use a USB cable to retrieve them from the old device.
Hi everyone,
last night i was initializing a huawei ascend g300 by inserting a sim card which has 175 contacts in its list.....i went ahead an synchronised first the phone with the gmail account throught wifi but had diabled auto-sync and back ground applications too....then went ahead and copied all those contacts to the gmail account by manage contacts>copy contacts>sim to gmail account and after that there were two contacts each name appearing hence thought i would delete and copy it once again from sim card hence i deleted all the contacts.
After deleting the contacts it came to my attention that i had accidentally deleted sim contacts along with the contacts which i had copied to gmail.All i needed to do is go into view setting and uncheck the sim and the phone such that only the gmail contact would be displayed.
I already tried the restoring of contacts from gmail account as the auto sync was disabled hence no contact was synchronised on the gmail servers
The phone itself is new hence i dint took the back up so that option aswell seems to be out of context now......
I am having the sim card data recovery software but do not have a sim card reader currently in search of it..will keep you posted furthur.
Isnt there anyway of using the phone as a sim card reader...or the sim slot at the back of lappy....as the sim card reader..?
I want to restore those contacts is there any way around it.....?
Any suggestion...advice would be immensly appreciated coz im in deep trouble...
contact deleted
not even if i get a sim card reader and if i try recovering it from that application.....?

update
hey everyone,
yesterday on my way home from office i searched and bought the sim card reader.....lol.....which i thought would be the difficult part
and then i installed that very software named sim card data recovery and its totally a bummer.....
a) it is not at all a data recovery software cox it do not recovers anything...its merely a software which would be handy in reading the present data "on the sim card" for those who have the phones without the facility of reading the Contacts and SMS stored on the sim card...perhaps its "no where close to reading the deleted data".
b) as it was demo version it do not even give a trial period all it does is it inserts "DEMO" after every word in the messages and where ever it feels comfortable enough to make it even more frustrating.
Infact the tool which came along with the drivers of the sim card reader i bought was both free and better in performance than that software for which they are asking us to buy it from them....
My recommendation never fall for such softwares its the waste of both time and money....Its nuin but just a hoax and a very bad one.

Stop giving advice when you have no idea what your talking about.
If you deleted them for the sim as you found out they are gone if you didnt back them up. Words to live by. "Always make backups of your backups"

You can recover lost,deleted or formatted files from Android mobile phone like this:
1. Do not save any new files into the memory card of your phone.
2. Connect it with computer. You should see memory card shown as a drive letter
3. Download Android Data Recovery into your computer.
4. Install and open the program, select your memory drive, and click 'Start' button to start scanning process which will find your files.

That will not work for 2 reasons.
1.the file that controls your contacts is a database file. So it is edited when a contact is removed or added. So there is nothing deleted.
2. The file even if he did delete it manually, is stored in the system partition which is not mounted when you plug into a pc

Please tell me the official STOCK android version number and Baseband of Huawei G300
To mamoid : I am from India also . I need the official Stock version number of android and the baseband number of the phone when it was released here in India. If you have ever downgraded back to official rom etc , and thus know the download link of the official rom too , then that would be helpful too. I need it to repair my phone .
Hi,
I have a question and I am hoping you can help me solve it. I purchased a Galaxy S Blaze 4G for my wife. I downloaded the "hide it pro" app from the google store for this phone. Before all this, I have performed a factory reset. I have an 8GB microSD card installed in the device as well. I have never had a problem with installing the app, transferring of personal files which are mostly videos, until this phone. I used to have a Mytouch and had no problems, and I now have an HTC ONE which I definitely dont have any problems. So I'm thinking it may be the phone. (Galaxy S Blaze) With multiple attempts, I have downloaded the app, have gone into the settings and tried even to move the app to the SD card, after I tried transferring less than 2GB worth of files to the app which was about 20/24 files, I would try to go back into the gallery and the phone indicates that "not enough memory, please delete some items." Again, I have never had a problem with this. Can you please help? It seems as though it is saving it to the actual device, instead of the memory card where it originally was to be transfered from to the actual App. Before I started doing anything, the "System storage was 83.25/1.12GB, USB storage was 0.0/1.40GB, and SD card showed 222MB/7.39GB. After installing the app and trying to transfer the files, i went back into the Task Manager/Storage and it now showed that the USB storage was maxed out at 1.40/1.40GB and SD card showed 222/7.39GB still. What do I have to do? The app also worked fine on her old Galaxy SII before she broke the screen. Thats the only reason I purchased this for her. She loves Samsung products, just couldnt afford the S4. Can you gimme some hints on how to resolve?
Sincerely,
Peteypete43

Which os are you running? If you are on stock ICS your SD card is located at /sdcard/external_sd. If you are on cm10 or 10.2 the 8gb card is located at /external_sd or /storage/sdcard1

My wife's gold S7 arrived last night, and she is transitioning from an 128GB S6. I installed a 64GB microSD card before turning it on.
I decided to use the phone-to-phone Smart Switch application. The problem is that it transferred all 30GB of photos/music/videos into the S7's internal storage. I had to manually move all the media files to the SD card so the migration could complete.
I expect to get my black S7 on Monday (also from an 128GB S6). Is there some kind of setting in Smart Switch that defaults moving media files directly to the SD card? Thanks in advance.
^ Yes, when the devices connect, it asks you exactly what you want to transfer. I chose only applications. Worked well, saved me from having to hunt them down one by one in the Play Store. Still can't believe Google doesn't have a proper cloud based backup for this (the one in Google Settings didn't work on the S7, shocker...).
