hi.
I have some sms messages stored on my sim card. I would like to backup them by copying them to phone memory.
Android would only allow me to see these messages (Manage sim card messages) but won't allow me to import them.
Is it possible?
Thanks.
For that go to massage>press menu button>manage sim card massage>menu button>copy to device
That's it
Press thanks button if it helps

hi,
menu button inside "manage sim card messages" doesn't do anything.
Is there any app for that?
thanks
In my sms settings the manage sim messages loads them all up, then menu again is the option to copy all to device. Awesome, thanks!
hi,
This doesn't work, I still don't have any options when pressing menu button. Maybe I need another ROM for this? I use a JB 4.1 ROM based on CM10.
Some systems do not have "copy" menu, but "delete" only. So a general solution is still needed. Android 4.0.3 CMCC version.

Contacts to Sim
Hi,
You can only copy a single contact to the Sim at a time...
Open people
Select Contact
Press Menu
Press more
Copy to Sim is available there
There is no way to copy all your contacts to the sim in one go except by using an application from the android market called Contact2Sim (Search Contact To Sim)
thanks for the help......
i have just sat in the van for 30 mins and did figure it out myself....
but im sure many other people will have the same question...so i hope this will help some else

You can actually save the contacts back to the SIM... one by one. It is tedious. It takes time. And it is BORING!!!
I mean, we can import all the contacts from the SIM to either the phone or to Google in one go but not the other way around. What if I change SIM card and absolutly want my contacts on the new card too?
Hmm... Contact2SIM? will check it out.
Edit: I have tried Contact To Sim now and it works... almost. It really writes the contacts to the sim but it does some very weird stuff though... it doesn't tell the default People/Phone application that the contents on the SIM have changed so they don't show the changed data untill you reboot the phone...
It seems that the contents on the SIM only get read on the startup sequence of the phone, any changes after that to the SIM will have to be made from People to refelct the changes. If some other application changes the information it won't be updated in People or the Phone apps.

I don't think you can display the sim card contacts, just import them from the sim card to the phone. Contacts, Menu button, Import/Export

i know sgs II doesn't have this option and i find it such a let down. this was very handy for me.
So is there a way to delete those pesky contacts that are embedded in the 4g sim card verizon gives you? I just got my phone activated on thursday.
I have not found a way but go to you people tab and select you options and you can select if u want to use sum or Gmail or SD card l.

Next time you flash a rom and the first time you go into dialer/people app...choose not to add Sim Card Contacts.
I tried exporting the sim card contacts and everything to no avail. The above is the only thing I can think of.

You can clear data on People app...then uncheck import sim contacts when you go run people app...no need to change roms.

It still imports the Verizon SIM contacts even though I unchecked it!
Oh well, a thanks for your effort.
Open the people app, then click phonebook at the top next to the + and uncheck SIM. Won't delete them but will hide them. Works for me

While it's true that it hides them in the People tab, the Verizon #'s are still listed in the Phone tab! I wish there was a way to delete them from there. I don't need (or want) six Verizon numbers in my phone book!
hi guyz... i have purchased Samsung Mega 5.8 a week back..
i am facing a new problem i am unable to move my apps to SD. i installed APPMRG (III) its shows it does not support.
is there any way to send the apps to SD card.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay Dakshinamoorthy
Try this, install a app called "Active Apps" from the google play store as it is free and open it up and on the first page the heading will be active applications were you can stop running apps, now flip the page to page 2 by swiping across the screen or tapping on the little arrow on the right side.
On the second page the heading at the top will be package manager and this is were you can un-install apps, but you can also bring up the apps properties, you will see the icons of apps on the left side of the screen, but do not tap on the icon itself but tap on the name of the app which is right beside the app icon and that app properties will open and in this properties part (it is like task manager look) and if you see the move to SD button light up then that app should be able to be moved to your SD card..give this a try and see if it works for you.

Does your phone recognize the SD card and did it ask to format it as i believe it has to be formatted to a fat32 filing system unless that has changed now..or can you format it with your pc and then try it in your phone and see if you can move apps to it, also make sure the SD card is fully inserted all the way as if not it can cause problems also.
If nothing is on this SD card i would totally reformat it and then try it in your phone also. :good:
Settings - Application manager.
In "App info" window of some apps, the "Move to SD card" button is grayed out. But for some other apps, the button is enabled. So then, what does this difference result from?

You can't move system apps and user apps with active background services (e.g. instant messenger).
system apps
thats because the apps you are trying to move are system apps

But I found that the app "Move to SD card" button of which is grayed out is not always a system app. For example, Amazon Appstore and some apps I got from this appstore. So, I am confused.
Is there an option in manifest for developers to enable or disable the button for his/her app?
Can we have a choice to SD card or device storage when we install an app?

With root you can do it. There's so many apps that can do it like this one.

You do not need to be root to move apps to SD Card.
Close all running instances in the background and try again.
If it is grayed out, go to the app you want to move and force quit it.
The grayed out should visible.
Fc app and try moving it, if not you'll need root access for some system apps. Few apps require to be in the system partition in order to run efficiently because of which you can't move it
