I need some help XDA guys & gals...
I'm looking for a prog to allow me to take a sim card from another non-WM phone and read all the contacts, sms's, etc. and save them to a txt file or something.
Pop in the sim card from my sons phone into my Hermes and read/save the contents.
I dont want to buy a USB-SIM reader since I already have my WM phone.
Much thanks for any help.
Admins- Please move this thread if I'm in the wrong forum.

I understand that with Qtek 9100 you cannot copy ALL contact to the SIM card all in once, but there is a way to get round that and get it done. Now, I have the same problem with my Qtek 9600 and I really want to copy ALL contact details to my SIM card without the need of copying one contact at a time.
BTW, I have no problem copying all contact details from my computer to the PPC via Active Sync.
Can anyone out there be kind enough to guide me through this, if this can be done at all?
Thanks.
Check out the SIM Manager utility. It has a "contacts to SIM" menu option...
Keep in mind that SIMs have limited space. Depending on how many contacts you have, you may not be able to get them all loaded...

Hello guys, I'm new to X1.
I put in my old SIM card and when I click Contacts, no numbers there. Tried pulling out the card and insert back in, no luck.
I went into SIM manager, it loads for 10 seconds then an error message pops up saying Undetermined Error... what gives?
Please help, I have some important numbers that I doubt I can get them back.
Bump... Please help guys... I tried google and search but no answers...
Hi there,
Having the exact same problem.
All the more strange, since I put my card in another X1 and there everything works fine.
I think this is a bug in the SIM manager version.
Did not find any solution, but I came up with this workaround:
I downloaded SIm Manager v1.4, copied the cab file to the X1 and installeded it. Your X1 SIM Manager is then replaced.
Start the SIm Manager and you will find it opens without the error.
Choose copy from SIM to phone and you can actually see your contacts.
I then copied all my contacts to the phone and I have now full acces.
In fact, it is more convenient, since managing the contacts in the phones memory gives you more possibilities, adding exttra info, using longer names, etc.
Hope this helps.

speaking of sim manager, does anyone know why it wont let me delete my contact on the sim card?
When I try pulling up peoples names when typing messages etc, I will always get two of each, because they are also stored on the sim card with "name /m, or/w" or whatever.
I try to do select all...delete, but no such luck
Hello guys!
In a few days i will buy my first WM phone, which is the HTC HD2, and I will sell my Nokia N96!
BUT i have about 3000 or more text messages that i like to keep; i was storing them on my microSD card; my question is:
-If I put the card into the HD2, does it identify the messages?! (i mean can i see them and use them as if they were sent/received by the HD2?!) (did anyone try this before?!)
-If not; is there is anyway to do that?! I don't want to loose these msgs in anyway!
-Does the HD2 have the same option as nokia in creating folders and menaging the text msgs in these folders?!
-One more thing! Does the HD2 have the possibility to move/copy messages from SIM card to the memory card installed on the phone?! And/or to the phone memory?!
Thanks guys you're awesome!
Are u planning 2 put ur old card into HD2 without formatting?Isnt that a bad idea?
I faced the same issue but i used a new card for my HD2.
See if this thread helps u:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551399
Im not sure about your texts but I took the sd card straight from my N95 to my HD2 and there were no problems.....
Im sure there'll be a way to sync those texts to pc and then back to the HD2, they may even be there straight away, Im not 100% on this though.....
Theres bound to be "an app for that" out there somewhere though....
Have you had a long hard google session??
10x man! Not a long session! I had a short one and i mainly found that the first result on google is a thread in here (xda); (it's the one that our colleague mentioned to me in the 1st reply);
it's a bit complicated method and will take maybe days to transfer about 4000 msgs!
I need a fast way to do that!
Please guys somebody help; i guess i shouldn't be the first one to face that! Maybe everyone of you had a nokia before switching to htc!!!
HD2 saves texts to the internal storage AFAIK. Saving 4000+ messages to it will leave you with little internal storage for other thing. My advise is to search and backup your most beloved text messages and backup online or something and just start over with a fresh HD2.

It shouldn't take up more than 5Mbs, I believe your average SMS is only 1kb, it's only a rough guess but I'd say it'd only use up 5-8Mbs or so, depending on your text length of course.
3,000 test messages!!! Why would anyone want to keep so many??? (I'm simply curious )
Hi All
Have searched for similar threads with no luck, so I hope this is in the right place and not going over what others have sorted out.
My phone is at HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WM6.5. I used to be able to store 100s of messages on the phone, decided to clear them out, and now every time a message comes through it says that the SIM card is full and I need to delete messages to free up space. When I look there are none, I have checked the deleted and there are none left in there. Is there a way to have messages saved to the SD card instead of the SIM, or is there something I am missing.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys,
Please read before clicking back lol. (I have a TG01)
Thanks to Markinus and Endrix for all their hard work on the TG01 build to date, but we have a general issue. The last build was left with the problem where text messages are saved to the SIM card rather than phone Memory. This is a problem because when returning to windows, the texts are still saved to the SIM card!
Either, we need an app or registry tweak for windows to switch it back again, or we need a way to switch the android build to save the SMS's to the phone memory instead.
Can anyone help please? (With either a suggestion, or perhaps guidance so that I might be able to write something (I'm a developer, but only in Java J2EE btw). I'm happy to attempt a hack, or create something I just have absolutely no idea where to start.
Thanks for any guidance
There MUST be a way in the kernel to do this surely? If it's currently saving all the SMS messages to the SIM card, there MUST be a setting or a bit of code that changes/defines where messages are saved?
Uh? This an Android forum & you are talking about windows!!
Come again?
