Why would you want to back it up onto a device that if it fails you lose the contacts perminantly? CM7 by default backs up all contacts to your Google account, therefore making it that you can then get another phone, toss in your Google creds and your contacts are automatically downloaded, no need to be concerned about copying them from a SIM and making sure they were imported properly. If you must have your contacts on your SIM, try one of the three apps maajstor recommended.

google account? means internet? means not 100% available! exporting to sim card is an elementary task; and you will say if the sim goes wrong? or damaged? lost? yes, thats right, but at least no need to connect to import them, its a very basic function to export contacts to sim card, even the dinosaur nokia 3310 have this stuff! well, never mind, thanks for yr reply a appreciate a lot !

I'm thinking you want to back up your contacts without using your sim if so then I recommend you to use pimbackup just google it cause I don't really wanna look for the link on my iPad.

HI,
I have faced an issue now a days that when i am rooting or unrooting my O1, SIM contacts were not shown over the phonebook but phone contact shown. I think may be its due to rooting or unrooting. but why is it so?? whenever i faced this problem i had checked all the setting, refreshed the setting and also restart my phone but the same issue persists. until when i removed the sim from the phone and then reinstall it, the problem solves.. plz help why it is so..?? what can i do to solve it..?

Actually, also I can't set SIM contacts to be visible, it's only possible to move them from SIM to phone. I'm using CM7 by mik..
In official ROMs there is an option to make SIM contacts visible.
If you can't make them visible, use export/import and choose import from Sim.

SIM Contacts are never displayed in CM7 by mik
If you need to import contacts from your sim to phone mem.
then press the menu key while in contacts >>Import/Export >> import from sim
and import all
but if you need to copy a newly saved contact in phone memory to sim, use an app called contacts2sim (get it from market/Google)
Hope this helps now

Hi, i just got the S2 a couple days ago and it's an amazing phone coming from an Iphone3g.
I was wondering if it is possible to install 2 whatsapp program on the phone? the reason for this is that i have 2 cell phone numbers, one personal and one work. i switch sim cards on weekends. i have separate work and personal friends, i don't want them to interchange and know about my other numbers.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
from what i understand
when u switch the sim card whatsapp starts again like u just installed it
Yes i understand whatsapp still works when install new sim card in the phone, but the phone number does not change with the sim card. That's my problem and i hope an expert here can let me know if it's possible to have 2 whatsapp or advise me an alternative solution.
You could try moving the apk to /system/app and then installing one from the market (/data/app). I've never tried anything like this so I'm not sure if it'd work.
Why don't you mail the developer...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
So i guess its not possible to install 2 whatsapp, i'll email the developers to see if they have a solution.
Thank you everyone.
From experience....
I switched sims....and whatsapp thought i was still on my old number...until I was bothered to re-install it.
There have been a lot of whatsapp updates since then.. don;t know if it still works like that
I have 2 numbers and 2 phones and that works becuase each phone has its own gmail account therefore its own apps market.To have 2 WhatsApp on the same phone with different numbers probably might work if you put another gmail account in "My Accounts" and see if it can sign in and open its own apps store account but 2 WhatsApp on the same phone wont work if they share the same gmail/market account.
Ironmit,
Yes it's still the same, switching sim cards does not change whatsapp number.
Thank you everyone, i have emailed the developers and waiting for their reply. i will post results as soon as they get back to me in case anyone has the same problem as me.
Same problem need two whatsapps in one phone

TB's App Profiles Feature?

Titanium Backup has a feature called App Profiles which basically allows you to have "two (or more) instances" of an app installed on your device. So you would create a new profile for WhatsApp and sign in with your 2nd number. Then if you want to go back to the 1st number, just switch back to the first profile. I'm not sure if that would work as I haven't tried it but that's an idea.
EDIT: I tried this out and it worked. You can even have a widget on your homescreen to easily and quickly switch between profiles.
Yes, the Titanium Backup App Profiles feature is a very good workaround, thanks for the tips halogen_guy.
Just one thing is when the profile is changed, the other phone number cannot receive messages. It would be great if we can make both numbers able to receive messages at the same time (dreaming).
Not complaining, at least I can use Whatsapp with my secondary phone number once in a while. I'm very happy now

No, i dont think it will work on non-rooted devices.
It needs Titanium backup to create multiple profiles and it NEEDS Root access

best Solution for this dual boot your Phone. So 1 whatsapp is on one rom other one is on second rom.
Simple question for all you flashers out there. Setting up and linking my conacts between haxsync, Facebook and google takes hours these days, Is there a way to back up all these setting so I don't have to keep linking everytim I flash?
Are you a GSM user???I think you could copy all of your adress book to your sim card and just import them later.

Get contapps in the market. Its the best. Not so easy to find.
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk
exporting to the sim doesnt work. 1. not enough room on the sim. 2. you really dont want to import your contacts when using google to back them up, you wind up with duplicates of everything. All I want is to back up the links between facebook, haxsync and google. I know it seems petty, but that **** takes HOURS to fix right again. Just for that reason alone makes me not want to flash ROMS, and i like flashing...
I downloaded Titanium last night and made a backup of contact/calls. I read somewhere that this backup will do what i want. I will let you guys know sometime today.
I will be waiting your feedback, cause anytime soon my contacts list will get too big and cause the same problem to me.
Just wanted to let you guys know that Titanium works perfectly to restore all of your links from Facebook, Haxsync and Google!!! I have been using Mybackup pro for years now and I can't believe what I've been missing in a back up utility.
Edit: i just want to add, if you don't want to back up all of you data and apk's, just back up contacts/calls, data and apk. this will bring you right back where you want to be.
