Is it possible to change the location that text messages are saved too?
ie, could you change it so they are stored on the memory card rather than the phones internal memory?
And on a similar point, if they WERE saved on the memory card, would accessing them be slower (is the memory card slower memory than the internal memory)?
Thanks for your help in advance..

Hello,
Could anyone help me? I keep getting a SIM card memory is full message although I have removed all of my contacts from there as well as deleted all of the messages. Also, how could I get my emails to be stored in the SD card? Just one more question, Everytime I try to access the phone stttings, I get a "phone not ready, retry in 15 seconds". does anyone know what this is about???
strange, sms are stored on the phone by default and not the sim.
Mails are not stored on the sim but the phone memory. You must have filled the memory. You can choose to store the atachments on the sd card via the mail options or you can read this tread for storing mails and mms on the sd card.

Not sure how to do that, but I do know you can use PIM Backup and backup your texts to your sdcard if that helps at all.
will PIM backup do it automatically or do you have to select each text individually?

You can schedule pim to do this for you at a set time of day
well i like that program, i'm using it for my contacts. but it backs things up in .bin so you can't go look at your texts, you have to restore them. has anyone found anything to let you save your texts to the SD card where you can read the texts?

What is it you are trying to accomplish?
well i'm not the original poster, but i think i know what he wants (and wouldn't mind it myself). a way to change the save directory to your SD card so you basically NEVER have to delete a text and it won't result in a loss in built in storage memory.
Not to be a ****, but why would you wanna keep your text messages any way? I'm sure there CAN be an important one or two sometimes, but really how often do you wanna keep those messages? lol.
well i know that i need to delete mine about every night really, to avoid massive pileups. but then a day or two later i wish i had one of those texts, not thinking to save it before hand.
i guess it is a good thing no one knows this or i'd have like 1243124512412431234 saved.

Clear your data, temp internet files (through PIE Menu)
Delete stored email or text message
remove old downloaded .cab files
read your owners manual... it tells you how to do these things.
Buy a storage card.
I get an error saying:
The memory is full. Please delete some messages.
What does it mean?
And the error keeps popping up
I read somewhere it was because the sim sms box was full. I mean with 1gb rom and 16gb sd card why does it not store this information on the rom or sdcard?

The error can come from having Pics, Videos, Email, Ringtones all saved to the phone instead of the SD card. I would go through what is in your Documents folder and move everything to your SD card. It can also come from having programs installed to the phone memory.
Go to SMS. Delete any messages from T-Mobile or whatever your system provider is.
Then All Messages in the lower left
Menu on the right
Scroll down to Tools
Choose Empty Deleted Items
I had this problem too. Apparently by default it only moves deleted SMS to a "trash" until you do this.
But my memory is not full. I guess if have to delete some messages I will.
I had this same issue with one of my users, turned out to be the sim card. It was an older sim and i guess they do not have the same amount of memory as the newer ones. Get yourself a new sim and you will be GTG.
Messages stored on sim
GO to you messages and delete the messages with the icon of a sim card next to them. I just had this issue with my HD2 and now its solved.

I figured this out a little while ago, but it is still dumb that we get such an error.

Well it's referring to the memory on your SIM, not on your phone. The best way to avoid this is to just make sure you have the contacts on your SIM copied to the contact list on your phone, so the messages are saved in a way that doesn't cause this issue.
The Focus seems to be storing my messages on my SIM and so i'm running out of space pretty fast. Is it supposed to do that? I figured it'd keep it on the memory card or at least on the phone.

What type of Focus do you have, what OS version etc.
How many contacts and messages do you have? Are all those on the SIM?
Messages are stored by the OS in Focus i917 on internal storage, so unless the global memory is getting very low on free space, I don't see how it's possible what you're describing.
I have the Focus I917 with Mango installed. I do have contacts on my sim but they were all imported into the phone's memory.
But I just had a thought. I was using a dumb-phone earlier and it was storing messages on my SIM. I never deleted those messages so maybe it created the threads for those messages on the SIM itself.
I Cleared the SIM now, so i'll text like crazy for a bit and then post back here if it happens again.
Cheers
