sim card question - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I understand android has no option to save contact to sim!!
My question: is there a custom rom, or any file that can introduce this?
I checked on the market couldn't find any highly recommended free application!
Am l there only one that needs contact to be saved on a sim c ard? I don't like the option of saving/ backing up on google server because i definately need data connection to synchronize!!

[Q] battle.net authenticator problem

Heloo everyone ! i've recently installed this battle.net authenticator without knowing what is it all about and so without knowlegde i've unistaled it and know i cant get my original reset code.
My question to you guys is : can i get somekind of restore of that previously installed app... is there any file in my phone which i can get so i can take back that data ?
i have no root and no backup apps instaled
thank you ! any response will be highly apreciated
without the reset code you will have problem..
go here to check as it will be an Battle.net log on issue.

i can't post link u need to copy & paste
I am afraid you need to call Blizzard Technical support for issues regarding the battle.net authenticators. Mobile or the physical device. They can remove the option from your account so one can either re-add a new one or keep it off.

Lenovo S750 MTK6589 firmware and troubleshooting

Guys, I do realise Lenovo S750 is a new device, but since it's running on MTK6589 maybe there are any firmwares that can be installed on this device?
I got it with original chineese firmare, and since I managed to install google play store, I'm having some problems with GPS fix, and cannot cope with that. I think it's the firmware problem.
Do you have any info, concerning this model, or a modded firmware that can be used? I assume, the MTK6589 are not all the same, and the firmwares cannot be used as a replacement?
I've tried many times, but fortunatelly I've managed to run GPS also.
As a solution I paste for future how to run google play store and GPS firs for chineese MTK6589 chipset. Maybe someone will need it in the future.
Just one thing - make sure your phone is rotted - I got mine chineese already rooted.
You need a rotted file explored - I use ESfileExplorer - link below.
Download and copy the content of zip archive below. Copy this to either to you SD card, ord phone storage - just to locate it no problem.
Then run ES explorer (or any other), find that archive you copied above, and select all the files within. Copy them into system/app (make sure your root options in setting are all "checked"). Then find theese files in system/app dir (helpfull sorting the files by modification time), and change their atrributes to READ (all three USER/GROUP/OTHER) / WRITE (only to USER), leave everything else blank.
After that restart your phone. Then you should have the google play store available - enjoy
As for GPS fix, after doing the above, turn gps off, run explorer, and go to data/misc dir, find mtkgps file, and delete it, restart the phone. Ensure you wifi or net connection is on. Download Better GPS application, and GPS TEST from play store. Run bettergps - choose your continent and country. Then go to settings/ location access, run GPS there and tap it. Next enable EPO (download latest) and AGPS. Run GPS TEST place the phone either outside under sky, or near the window. It should connect within few seconds. If it does, you can disable AGPS and EPO, also uninstall BetterGPS app. For me, it catches fix in few secs now :laugh:
if any questions feel free to ask - ENJOY!!!

I don't know, what you're talking about, both GMAIL and preinstalled business calendar work no problem..... can you pls explain it?
Gmail works OK (Using GMAIL app) but the native email doesnt work, so other non-gmail accounts don't work - I have Exchange server & Hotmail accounts
The business calendar works but can only do a local (phone only) calendar so the exchange calendar doesnt work.
I use my phone for work and not having a calendar synced with exchange is critical.
Also I need to use other email accounts.

Ok since I don't use anything else except google - I can't veryfy what you're saying.
Maybe you should wait for other firmwares, which surerly will coume out soon
Yes, trying to find alternative. In the meantime, I tried to install GAPPS but didn't manage. I believe my first step is to install a cCWM recovery, but I haven't been able to find anything for this phone.
(Note - coming from Moto Defy; this process was easy - I'd download GAPPS then go into CWM; install ZIP from sdcard and bingo....
The recovery installed only allows updates and clean cache; no way to install a zip.
Any help on this appreciated as otherwise the phone works fine. However until I get mail & calendar working have to remain with my old Defy...

Here's another firmware from etotalk http://ge.tt/62Cz6Jl/v/0 it seems it's working well, calendards and sync are working. Comes rootted already, and with xperia lancher.
You just need to pun in the rom folder another file (which I don't know why is missing) secro.img look below - just paste the file in the unpacked rom folder before you run a flash tool.
Method of instalation, excatly as described in the 4th post from the begining- you just need flashtool and drivers - all explained up
In case of questions, feel free.
sorry edited double post

Indeed I have phone storage or SD card to choose.
But whatever choice I make, the phone reboot & the SD card seems to be absent when I ask to change location from one or other app installed before.. It changes location from phone storage to internal storage but no sd card..
Quick system info show me that :
SD storage : 2go
Second SD storage : 25go (my external sd card)
Internal storage : 1go
System storage : 640 mo
Cache storage : 250mo
Memory : 1 go
How could I choose the second SD card tho ?

enginee auto install adware

Hi, i need help and i hope that someone here can help me, im currently infested by a virus or malware that keeps on coming back, it never stop it always install itself
and it has the capability to
1. read phone status and identity
2. location
3. modify/delete contents
4. find accounts on device
5. download files WITHOUT notification
6.retrieve running app and run at startup
7. draw over other apps
8. read sync settings
it looks very dangerous it could steal info from my phone, based on my research those who are infected by this app also receives msgs with links and it seems that the phone itself created that message and sends to itself
right now i have no idea on how to remove this problem, also rooting is impossible currently because my phone is not supported on any rooting services and i yes i tried everything, emailed them if they supports rooting my phone and they all say no.
i was able to grab a copy of the enginee app in apk format maybe someone is interested on simulating it on an emulator (im doing it right now actually)
wow, very friendly "developers"

Lost my sim card. How to migrate from GBWhatsapp to Whatsapp? I have root

So, first of all I have root and I'll be able to follow any tutorial.
I'm currently using GBWhatsapp (modded version) but as Whatsapp Inc. is again banning mod clients I have to migrate to the original version.
The big problem is: I lost my sim card.
I have a rooted device, Titanium Backup, etc.
Any chance to keep my whatsapp account and migrate to original version? I'm not sure if I'm being specific in my problem description.
Please, help. I don't want to lose my whatsapp number.
Any help?
I am doubtful you can keep your number without the sim card, unless you can get a replacement sim.
However you could note all the groups to which you are on whatsapp and all your important contacts and then follow the information in this link. [-you will have to google this as I apparently cant create links as I am a newbee... Ho hum..]
techbout.com whatsapp-without-phone-number-sim-5365
Then rebuild your whatsapp with a new number.
Hope this helps

How to use Dual Sim in combination with MiUI 12 Second Space

hi, I have created a Second space and I've check using DevCheck app that Google Services Framework ID / Device ID are not the same, so I want to use it to create a new user that has nothing to do with the first one.
To do so, I must ensure that 1 SIM card is only accessed by 1 user and the 2nd SIM card is only accessed by the other user, is there a way, even if manually to do so ?
