Hello.
I just wnant to know if it's possible to use only contact from sim on X8. I have a samsung galaxy mini 2.2.1 stock and i have the chose, but not on x8. Can i put the contact manager from samsung on x8 ??????
I thank you a lot for the help.
You can import contacts from your sim on X8 but i think its not possible to add/delete
them to/from sim card.
The best thing is to connect the contacts with your google account.
whenever you buy new phone, or get a new sim (old broken or whatever)
your contacts are still safe.
That's why you bought a smartphone or get a 2nd cheap phone for 5-10 euro's,
enter simcard for calls and a 2nd one only for your smartphone then you don't need contacts on it.

Hello back,
Logically,every phone will have this function.maybe for certain roms dont have it.can u post which rom u re currently on & lets hopes if somebody know details about it.
p/s: u joint here since 2008 but only post 3 times?Wow..thats rare
Thanks
Thanks for your response. I know that i can import contacts or use my google account, but i dont know why i cannot do the thing that was ok on galaxy mini and not on X8.
Most of the roms of x8 are based on CM, that doesn't use sim contact. So i have tested most roms but allways the problem. I think it's just a parameter problem or soft problem, but where to do it ????
And for zmuhammx, yes i was registered on most forums, with not a lots of activity, because i spare a lot of time to read, re-read and search on post to find the solution of my problem without post a lot. First i read, second i think and if really i was blocked i post.
Second thing, since 2008 i'm renovating an old house and i just have finished. So no much time to spend (very tired).
So now i have some time to work on android, so i became to put my nose in roms and if i find the solution i post it.
At final, in france we pay a lot for nothing. it's just now that we can have cheaper, unlimited acces to internet over gsm network. But network was very old. So from april 27 i can synchronise my contact with google (the best solution).
Thank to the XDA community.

Dear All,
i have tired from searching for an application to enable me send a contact details using SMS. after a long search i found a similar application called RJV SendContact (http://www.airfagev.com/forum_view.asp?msg_id=52421) , but it is for smart phones. do anyone know a similar application that can work with our PPC Wizard devices.
Can't help, but i would like one too.
Yet another big shortfall with WM5. I mean, FFS, Vcard's have been a standard feature in mobiles for years.
Hi there.
Try looking/searching for Sunnysoft Vcard. Google it and you will know that it is what you guys are looking for.
Regards.

Try Vazu.
I used it back about two years ago when they first offered it as a free beta. I used it for a year and then they tried to start charging for it. But I see now that they are once again offering the service free of charge, except for international SMS messages.
BTW, I have no connection of any kind with them, except that I used it for a while.
Good luck.
this is for sending sms for the us, but not Vcards from your device.
I don't know if it's just US or not, but you can upload your contacts (read: vCards) to their site and they will then be sent to your phone via SMS.
That info may be beyond the main page - read through the site and you'll see what I'm talking about. I used it about two years ago when they first established the site to send about 200 Outlook contacts from my PC to a Motorola T720 (Ugh 0 what a dog that phone was!)
OK - I copied the link directly to the page that explains how to import contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Ximian Evolution (Whatever that is) for transmission directly to your cell phone:
https://www.vazu.com/help/import_contact.php
Many Thanks
Many Thanks for your effort, it can be a replacement
I use this small program. it adds "Sens as Vcard"to the contactsmenu, when you hold your stylus on a contact.
And it recognises Vcards when you recieve them.
I don't know where I found this so I attach it to this post, I hope this is not Illegal. Otherwise Google for vCardforminiS.cab
good luck
Great App, but i google for it i did not find anything concerning this app, anyway , thanks alot
I could not find it with google eather, sorry for the wrong tip
o2 sms has this feature
The O2 SMSprogram has this feature. Someone on this forum posted the version that can be installed on the Wizard. I tried it once but found it a bit slow. Then again I was running the original Cingular Rom which sucked big time. Search for the thread and try it out. The only drawback is that the application does not eliminate the messages from also showing up in the default WM5 messaging application.

I tried installing it in my phone. It says Installation unsuccessful. Am I doing anything wrong ?
Ok I'm makeing rom for Prophet, Kaiser and Touch and prob will make for more devices.
Therefore I ask here insted of doing a poll in every forum?
on some devices the memorry is not that much and ArcsoftMMS is taking up alot of space and can be installed by cab for users that realy need it.
so the question is how often do you send MMS
I never use MMS..i guess my vote wont count..caz u are not building for Hima right ??

i agree, its better to remove this from the ROM. if somebody really uses MMS, he/she can use a cab to install it.
I rarely use it, don't find the need to send "pix" to everyone, especially when I've got e-mail at my finger tips!
Gullum i think remove it.If i will send pix i can use E-MAil.
i use it every once in a while. there are times in which i use it everyday but most of the time i would say on average weekly
Considering that the Elfin has Wifi and I can pretty much attach any pic I want and email it to anyone using my Elfin, I don't see the need for MMS.
Of course there are those purists who will say, "oh, but then you need to find a wifi hotspot...I can send MMS anytime"...
I've never been in a situation where I've had to send a picture immediately. If I do find myself in that spot, then I'll use MMS.
I dont HAVE to send MMS messages at all but it is the multi-functionallity of my Kaiser I love. Basically I like to have all options available. I hate it when I`m in a position not being able to do something because I didnt install it because of ram/storage space. Its like having alot of money but no stores to use´em in.
I probably send 50 mms messages a year (Vacations, Fishing, A picture of my daughter to her mother, and so on..) but not once a week.
When there is a situation worth it I use MMS. Being in that situation without that option would probably make me crazy. Of course I can send an email but I would like the pic to show up in the recievers phone at once. Eighter way: most Norwegian mobile phone users dont have email on their phones (dont use it) ........... yet. For pictures and sound, we use MMS.
Off topic:
Viva Scandinavia! I´m visiting Iceland this summer
I agree with the above - its one of those options you hardly use, but its very annoying for example someone who has a device without email option wants to send a picture and you dont have the capabilities, i probably have sent 1 this year and received 2 or 3
yeah, i've never used it, but i guess it's handy if you do have it. tbh, if i had a rom with no mms, i wouldn't notice it wasn't there because i don't use it at all! mms is expensive!
if you are making new rom, i'd say leave it out & add link for the cab, if somebody wants it, can dload it.
look like so far that MMS should be a cab option and not in the rom.
I personaly have only sent MMS to test if it works in my roms. I've had differant phones over the years and I hardly ever sent or received any MMS during these years.
So my desission is MMS wan't be in my future roms but I will have a link to a cab to go with my roms...
Thanks for all the votes and please keep voting as this might be of intrest to other cooks too.
I've got some problems with sending SMS.
I read about people with this problem, but nothing to fix that problem.
Please give me some information how to fix the problem.
1. I have the right SMS center
2. I have intalled provider configuration after hard-reset
3. I use WM 6.5 (5.2.21500 - 21613)
4. I use latest Radio (1.14.25.24)
5. I use new Manila (2.0.37889.1)
When I will send a SMS to someone, some seconds later came up message "Can't send SMS".
With the same SIM I can send SMS with an other mobile.
When I got my Touch HD, I couldn't send SMSs either. It was a problem with my SIM card, that it was too old and I couldn't SMS in newer phones (like touch hd). Try to get a new SIM card.
Can confirm the above on HD in switzerland, got a new sim solved it.

I never heard about that. Why is there a problem with older SIM-cards??
Searching google don't give me any hint!
Is there someone with other ideas?
Intresting approach !
So lets run the above by me one more time.
You post saying that you cant send sms, give us info about your settings, rom and radio.
User one says "It was a problem with my SIM card, that it was too old and I couldn't SMS "
User two says "Can confirm the above on HD in switzerland, got a new sim solved it. "
and then you google not liking the answer.
Now you want somebody to give you another answer, will google and not like it and then ??
I for one can not answer the question of why one can have a problem with old sim cards only confim that I had it and I solved it. But What do I know.
Hi HDuser.
Thanks for your reply to my thread! But it didn't help ...
On writing my statement, the second one (you) told, that he fixed the problem with a new card, too. So I saw first just one answer, after submitting the second.
My reason to ask more people is:
- I have to pay for a new SIM. Why should I order a new one, just one person told something about a new SIM.
- I don't understand, where's the differents between this SIM-card new one vs old one.
Are there realy different SIM-versions in the market? I don't find anything about that search the net...
Please post some URL to read about that fact.

Update 1:
I checked out with an other SIM (newer from 2008 prepaid) and the news: with it I can send out SMS.
So I phoned with my provider today. I will get a new SIM for free. They told me, a new SIM is good for my battery and GSM-connection, too.
Update 2:
Today I got my new SIM. But SMS don't sendout :-(
Where's the problem - that's my question at all!
Yours Andreas
Now I can only go on what happend to me and that was a faulty sim.
I too have to buy a new sim but if the sim that I have does not work then its a fault of my provider not mine. (but I have a contract and not a pre-paid).
I cant point you to anywere as you yourself can't find the issue in google.
If you feel its not the sim, them use a friends and SMS with that one, prove that you can SMS on the device and you know its not the device.
Proving that you can SMS with your sim an other device does not mean that the sim works on your blackstone.
On mine device just reflashed I need only to go to phone, options - services -voice messages and text - get settings .... this gives me my text message service of my provider. I am set and can send.
Sms Sending Problem with simcard of U-Fone - Pakistan
i have HTC Touch HD i installed the new 1.56 V3.3 XTREME by Dutty based ROM. everything works fine but sms. when i send sms it stays in the outbox until i make a call. the sms is only sent when i make a call.
i have tried the new sim card solution but no use.
still having problem. if someone have a solution please help.
Think you will find that the sms goes even though it says it doesn't, at least that is what mine is doing as the girlfriend thought I'd gone mad and sent her about ten messages all about some flight details.
Even though the phone said not sent she got them all lol, but got to admit it is annoying and it has nothing to do with my sim it has only happened since shifting to the 1.56 base all previous cooked roms worked without this glitch.
I don't have interface to send SMS or type a new e-mail
when i try to send a new sms or a new e-mail i got a blank white page.
please help
on Dutty's roms this is known bug of manila.
I have an old simple sim, more than 5 years old, and I can send sms within standard sms application. but when I use manila (on dutty's rom) it sends somtimes, and sometimes it doesn't.
MOD EDIT

First off if no one has said this yet, welcome to XDA
Secondly, I would recommend asking your query in the Touch Pro 2 forums rather than the HD ones. More likely to get an accurate response

ty man please erase this one becuse i open one in the area you tell me , and sorry for my mistake, and ty again.
I have an HTC Legend (Vodafone Branded), that I am using unlocked in Lebanon.
Mobile phone numbers usually start with 03, and the International Country Code is +961.
When I send a message, it gets sent as 03****** and is stored in one thread. Then, when the same person replies to my message, it arrives as +9613******. The phone is considering them as 2 different phone numbers, and storing the received messages in a different thread.
Is there any solution? Shall I install a non-branded ROM or anything? Is there an app for that?
Btw, I have updated yesterday to 2.05.161.1 OTA, and now in addition to this problem, I have the problem of the SMS showing older messages first.
Handcent SMS doesn't fix the thread problem btw...
bump.... anyone?
The first problem I don’t recognize but I also have the problem that, when ever I got a new SMS, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the SMS list before I can read it. I did not have this problem before I did the update. I checked with a friend that has HTC Desire and he dose not have the same problem after the update. When he opens the SMS the list will show the last SMS that has received.
Same thing happens to me if I send a message to 09x xxx-xxxx, but if a message is sent to +385 9x xxx-xxxx it is in one thread, together with a reply. That's why I store all contacts with a country code (+385).

The ordering is a bug in the 2.05 update.
The thread problem might be easier to solve. Check if you have two contacts with the same number i.e duplicate contacts. If not that check if you have the number stored twice in the same contact. This might sometimes "confuse" the phone and lead to the above said problem. It happened to me when my google contacts got sync with my phone, I ended up having many duplicate contacts.

This is a bug in the latest Legend update [2.05]. The Desire is a different phone. The latest update it received was the Froyo update. The Legend is yet to get that update. And hopefully the update might fix the bug.
@ananthm2k5 thanks a lot, but the thing is that it is not even recognizing the number.... so the received messages get stored in a thread under +9613****** so it's probably not a problem of duplicate numbers or contacts.
I had a Telus HTC Hero before the Legend, and it didn't have this problem.
Is there an application I should install that could fix this problem, or would I have to debrand my Legend? And would debranding even fix the problem?
Thank you.
Generally when you have duplicate contacts the phone displays only the number .. but since you say you don't gave duplicate contacts ... I guess you could just back up and reset your phone to factory settings ...
Also ask the contact to call you ... see if it shows the proper contact or just a number ...
Installing other apps or debranding will not help ... you could try alternate messaging applications ... there are a quite a few .. look around the forums ... but I'm not sure about how good they are ... the default is good enough for me
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Alternate messaging options don't fix the problem...
The weird thing is, that when they call me, it displays the correct phone number, and doesn't even show the +961 extension...
I haven't tried a factory reset, but I did try deleting all the messages... I'll try one asap... I just don't feel like restoring all the apps and contacts etc.... Do you know any good backup app that doesn't require root?

The Legend does a back up on its own ... its somewhere in privacy setting or something .. look for it ... and while doing a factory reset remove your SD card. ...
I just sold my legend and bought a Desire!
And im loving it!
That's what u all should
Alright, I have debranded my phone, and installed the official Europe HTC Legend RUU 1.31, but the problem is still there.
Also, meanwhile, I have contacted HTC Support, and here's their last reply:
Dear Marc,
I am afraid changing numbers manually is the only option I can offer you. According to your serial number, your phone is locked to Vodafone and has been purchased in Germany, which means it is not coded to recognise numbers from Lebanon. Your old Hero might be SIM free, that is why he can recognise the numbers. We do not provide unbranding services, as branded phones are property of respective service providers. As to 2.2 update, we don’t currently have the date of when it will be released to other devices.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 10GBCW34ENA000771.
Sincerely,
Viktor

However, my phone was not really locked to Vodafone Germany, since I could use my Lebanese SIM Card. I can use the phone, messages and mobile data. I also know that SIM Lock is not allowed in Germany. Shall I try to re-unlock it? Is there a way to know if my phone is somewhat locked or not??
My HTC Hero was locked to Telus, but I have gotten it unlocked by a third-party.
@Lola90, if you can find me a good deal, then why not?
what should i do?
Nobody has a solution to my problem?
Any recommendations? Rooting, custom ROM, anything?
factory reset did not work for you ?
No, it didn't work...
Any suggestion on what to do? Shall I try to re-unlock the phone, shall I install a custom ROM, or an Official North American, or Middle Eastern ROM, or is there an application that I can install?
