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,
Sorry if this has been posted before; I couldn't find the answer...
I had some text messages on my SIM in the 'drafts' folder and they showed up on the TF3D messages screen. I deleted them from within the TF3D interface, but when I restart my HD the drafts reapear. I can't find them from in the WinMo messages part and when I punt my SIM in an other device, the drafts are gone too.
This means (I guess) that they are cached somewhere by TF3D, but I can't seem to find something to help me.
Greets!
LOL finally somebody who has the same problem as me. I took a sim card from my Blackberry to my Touch Diamond, which had that problem, then my HD, which has the same problem with the same 3 messages.
It's messages with only numbers in them...
They return on soft reset because winmo won't really delete them, only their representation on the phone memory for some stupid reason.
They are stored in your SIM card. Delete all messages from your SIM card using the old phone you used, then re insert in your HD.
That should do the trick.
I already tried that and the (old) phone couldn't find my messages. Since it worked for you, I retried with another old phone and that one did show the messages and I was able to delete them. Thanks!
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
for whatever reason, the first four text messages i received upon using my tmo HD2 for the first time were saved to the sim. i can delete them and not see them while my phone is on, but upon rebooting, they come back! how do i delete them? i've searched and can't find much of anything.
thanks!

i wonder why it stopped at four, though. after the fourth, all messages stopped being saved to the sim and it hasn't happened since. i haven't changed anything so i'm terribly confused!
So far, what I can suggest is for you guys to load the SIM card into any 3G/HSDPA modem client. This client will show the SMS contents in the SIM card. You can then delete them from this client.
what is 3G/HSDPA modem client?
bump this up, still need help!
anyone? anyone at all?
happened to me on AT&T when we went to DST a few months back. I don't even have a clue on how to save SMS with the HTC messaging client let alone how to delete it. After a few days the messages would disappear complete and all order has been restored.

I'm having the same problem man..I even called t-mobile "htc hd2 experts", but all they did is the same thing as what everyone else on this topic is doing lol...
I have the same problem here :-(
I have a message saved on my sim card that I can't delete either. It's annoying. Anyone found a solution to this? Is there a way to browse the sim from the file explorer?
bump. also have this problem
I try to found a solution, but I just has been reading about delete them from a SIM Card USB reader :-(
you gotta transfer your sim card to a different phone and delete the msgs there. thats what i did and it worked. I used a sony ericcson k800 phone to do it. Im not sure if theres a certain phone to transfer to but im guessing a non HD2 phone? haha

Finally I can delete the messages. I put my SIM Card in other phone (BlackBerry) and delete the SMS from there and put back the SIM Card on my HTC HD2 and the messages was deleted!

Same problem here. I can 'get around' it by putting the SIM card into another phone, but that is unacceptable as a long-term workaround. Some messages are delivered straight to the SIM, and having to swap the card once a week or more is not making me happy with the device.
Is there a 3rd parry software package that allows one to delete sms messages from the SIM?
Disable SMS copy to SIM
::bump::
Can we work on a patch to disable SMS copy to SIM?
That way when its accidentally copied we don't have to pull out the SIM to delete it on another device.
hey everyone, I've been lurking for quite some time now. Finally have something noteworthy to share. I had the same problem with SMS saved to my SIM...just go to your SIM manager...copy your SIM contacts onto your device...then delete the contacts left on your SIM. I then used PIM backup to store my contacts onto my SD card...just in case my phone goes to sh!t.
Same problem. Reported it to Tmo
They dont know balls.
I tried everything. Put Sim in another phone tried deleting the message but wouldnt work.
Even ordered a new sim card. Lasted about two weeks before the phantom voicemail/129 text started popping up again.
Text from 129 its part of the HD2 on TMO, accept it.
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.
i have two text messages which every time i delete them, they reappear. they are the only two which have an icon nxt to them which resembles a sim card, but i kind of think it is actually an sd card. however there is a diagonal corner cut off the icon which strongly resembles a sim card.
i cant seem to find these messages anywhere and i dont know how to check my sim card, so here i am asking the group if they have any suggestions.
thanks in advance.
