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.
Ok so I have been on the phone all afternoon with verizon tech support and HTC support and i have gotten no where I apologize if this problem has been solved b4 i did extensive searches with no luck so here goes.
MY Stock Unrooted Thunderbolt is losing site of the apps that have been moved to my sd card on boot. So basically i have a majority of my apps on my tbolt saved to sd card to save space on the actual phone. Some of the apps were moved manually through the applications and others were moved using ZDbox as they were installed and moved. My phone has been this way for sometime with no problem. Now about 3 days ago my phone was acting really slow and just not working properly showing signs it needed to be rebooted so i rebooted it and once done booting i went to my apps and found several of the apps missing from my app drawer as well as the shortcuts on home screens. So verizon referred me to HTC who is blaming it on ZDbox they claim zdbox corrupted the app files somehow when it moved it to the sd card and if i uninstalled that they claim the problem should be solved. However I cant remove ZDBox due to my sd card not showing up that program seems to still be on the phone its self so it should be able to uninstall it but it just locks up when i try
now i could go on and on and on with what i have done but i was hopeing someone here maybe had a similar situation or knew of a way to fix this problem. I have the SD card backed up and all the app files are showing in the location they are suppose to be in but i just cant understand what would cause his problem.
ANY help would be great and i hope im not coming off as a noob i have been troubleshooting this for several days and do consider my self to be knowledgeable in this area but i have surpassed my experience with no luck and I am here hoeping someone out there has an idea !!!!
thanks again in advance
oh ya almost forgot verizon claimed a htc rep told them its a known problem and to just keep powercycling the phone and eventually it will see the apps but i never got them to say that to me they wanted to point straight to the third party app zdbox even after i told them not all the apps were moved by that app.
I was having a similar problem with my stock vzw galaxy tab I factory reset it and reinstalled only a select applications and seemed to solve it but i dont think i have that many apps on my tbolt (i had over 150 on my tab)
sounds like you have corruption on your sd card. I would pull it out of the phone, connect it to a pc and run a scandisk on it and let it correct any errors. Then I would back it up to the pc. After this I would put it back into the phone and see if the apps show up. If not, I would hound verizon or htc for a new sd card or new phone, their choice.
A friend of mine had the same issue and the only solution was to get rid of zdbox. The issue is:
The phone is not rooted and apps that get moved to the memory card that do not allow it natively will not show up (usually after a reboot) because the original location is not available when the phone or app looks for it.
To move them properly even most apps not meant to move, you have to root.
He also wound up having to reformat the sd card.
I would say to try the suggestion above and maybe you will have luck that way but my friend had to just leave the apps that dont move to sd on the phone. He still wont root even after he sees my phone and loves the things I can do with it.
Not sure why people are obsessed with moving Apps to the SD card. I put games on there but otherwise all the rest of my 100+ Apps are on the phone and I still have 1.7gb of free phone space.

have you tried doing an sd card rescan?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bero.sdrescan
So if you are moving all of your apps to your SD card, what are you actually using your internal storage space for? I think doing that on a phone like the Thunderbolt isn't usually worth it. Combined with the problems moving the apps can cause, there really isn't much point to it.
Does every Cyanogenmod rom allow that by default, or dit it die with version 11 or 12 being the last one?
If installing directly to SD is a no go, what good apps are there that do the transfer (and keep everything working, of course
I would recommend Link2SD.
I have used it with satisfaction on several low memory devices.
Not sure why, I find Link2SD and its options terribly confusing Well, I guess I'll need to learn.
There are a lot of guides and it's not so complex.
The best way to use it is to create a second partition on sd (consider a backup of your data on pc/otg/cloud/...).
As far as I can remember link2sd will ask you the filesystem type and then it will create some script to use it.
Then you can simply tap on an app from the list and press "link to sd".
From the apps list you can do a lot of operation like convert apps to system/user app, freeze/unfreeze, merge an updated app to rom etc. and using the filter this kind of operation will be very easy and fast.
EDIT:
On the plus (paid) version you can link also data.
If you really want to maximize the free space on the device, this option is worth the few moneys.
EDIT2:
I've always used it on other devices using AOSP based roms, I don't know if there are problems using it with MIUI.
Thanks a lot! So, if you "link" (strange choice of word, it's not actually linking if it gets completely moved to SD and nothing remaing in main storage is it, that's what confused the hell out of me), app and its data to SD, will it be exactly like it was downloaded and installed on SD right from the store, like it used to be on Android versions that supported such thing? I know Cyanogenmod 11 did that perfectly, wonder if it's CM thing by default, or did they moved to new (stupid) concept of raping the main storage in later versions
EDIT: Any chance of "linking" bloody Whatsapp to SD completely? I'm in continuous maintenance mode of my wife phone because that **** consumes the storage for all it's worth.

Linking is not the same as moving.
For example, if you move to sd and then remove the sd from the device, widgets and app icons will be removed.
Maybe they will be restored when you insert your sd again, but the order could not be the same.
The same doesn't happen linking.
There are also other benefits, try googling for "link2sd faq".

I'm not using whatsapp so I don't know if it works.
I guess that your are talking about the "whatapp" directory on which msgs and media are store.
If link2sd can't solve your problem, I think that can try to move the whatsapp directory to sd and then manually create a link (keep the original name) on the original position.
Or you can try with apps like foldermount
EDIT:
try looking at this thread
Maybe your can try xposed app..xinternalsd..swap sdcard to be phone memory
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with update 6.0.1 with the latest security patch level applied 11/1/16. Recently my microSD card status will go between two indicators in the notification bar: 1) SD card - For transferring photos and media, or 2) SD card was removed, please insert a new one. In both cases the same micro SD card remains in the phone. When I receive the message that the card has been removed, I can click on Storage in the Settings menu and see that only internal storage appears. At some point the SD card will reappear with the message from #1. I can restart my phone, I can turn it off and back on again, etc. but none of those things seem to alter the phone status of identifying that an SD card exists in the phone. It's quite annoying especially when I want to take photos or am transferring data from internal storage to the SD card when it suddenly becomes "removed". However, again, the change from being considered installed/mounted or missing/removed will happen at any time whether I'm using my phone or not. I've started to wonder whether I picked up a virus by visiting a site while reading news through the Google Play Newstand., which I've been doing a lot lately,.. but I've installed/uninstalled at least 5 different anti-virus/malware software and nothing is identifying a problem on my phone. AVG, McAfee, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
The only other oddity I have noticed about the same time is that I have Verizon Protection and Support which suddenly acted like I had never used it before and made me agree to the terms of use again - once I say ok to the terms, it returns that it cannot access data and try again later. Nothing I have done related to that software has worked and Verizon's only suggestion is to factory reset in which some users indicated that did not resolve the problem.
Has anyone else experienced either of these issues and found resolutions? Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Try Using your device without SD card for some time and then put that chip again. If the situation persist try wiping Cache of Your phone.
There is probably to many webdavs using all your cu. Obtrusive. To root or not to root. Providers say that root is what causes issues of vulnerability. You get these problems ether way but you can only fix with root.
What ever the problem is formatting your car should straighten it out. If you don't want to arrange your files a quick fix for webdav is to use root explorer. Search for "nomedia"and delete them all. Hopefully only apps you want have a good enough grip to put them back.

Thank you. I don't know how long you mean for "some time" but I did for about 30 minutes. I did use McAfee to clear app cache to free up space but I just checked and my current message is "SD card removed. Insert a new one" so apparently that didn't do it. I' did not allow it to clear thumbnails though.

Well, until now I considered myself fairly tech savvy... but I am not sure what webdavs are or what it means to root or not. Is root explorer software? And then, the next question is where would I search for "nomedia"? If you'd rather I do more research on these myself I can do that, no worries... but if they are easy enough to explain that would be great. Thanks so much!

Some time means at least a day.
And wiping Cache here I meant Clear the Entire Phone's Cache through Recovery
Good browsers have a search bar in them. A web dav is a network connection to a folder. If it is causing your card not to work now than likely it was put there by a demon and you want it gone. If you don't know what root is then you are a long ways out from putting up a fight. The only thing I could really advise you to do is do a factory reset that includes formatting the card. If you do ever decide to root be very careful the method.

Anyone knows how to enable/install Notification Access feature?
By the way I have root, so any way to modify to get that feature?

Otherwise it's so bad I'm going to sell it. Should have known this before got into this.

I think I did it already through BuildProp Editor that is available from Google Play (and maybe I did not do it correctly?) by editing ro.vendor.qti.config.zram to false and seeing from text editor that it is set to false including ro.vendor.qti.config.swap=false. So anything I have perhaps not done or not done correctly? Would be great if I overlooked something or did not do something correctly. Let me know if you know how to do it and Thank You!
Would be great if I could just modify the system to allow notification access because everything else I have already set up and it works great, but not having notification access is a deal killer for me so I need to have it for certain.

Go to vendor/build.prop and find ro.config.low_ram and switch it to false and btw what you edited lines are just zram ram optimerizer that must not be edited for optimal performance

Yea, it worked. I was thinking about having to rewrite, copy/paste/modify some longer code to add that feature or something. This is great. So easy. Solved the problem. Thank You!
no problem boss got any problem post it here btw by switching to false in line ro.config.low_ram in build.prop you switching your phone from oreo go to stock oreo all disable features from oreo go will be used in the stock oreo eg multiwindow but apps will eat too much storage if you had 5.3 gb free youll get 4.5

The device itself is actually really great value for money, just the Go modification to the software is really bad but as you told it is very easy to get rid of when rooted. For instance, comparing something like Moto G4 Play at gsmarena, it runs Android 7, has no Go version, device stats almost literally the same (in performance-wise) as can be read at gsmarena and I know from experience as well. The Go version actually allows probably much cheaper versions of smartphones, because in such price range the device that can be produced, Go unnecessary, or at least should be a choice in the settings that people can choose if they want, not as advertised as some sort of different version of Android.
problem with sd card formated as internal storage.
I extended the built in internal storage with a SD card formatted as an internal storage.
In the the system settings I see 50GB free (cummulated internal build +sd), but when I want to install an app, I get a message of unsufficent storage.
Where can be the problem?
Thanx for help.

Thanx samsungics1200 for you reply.
I managed to activate the developer option (in my case there were 4 taps needed) and enabled force allow apps on external, but when I want to migrate the apps on SD card, the migration starts, there is a progress indication but as the migration progress reaching 100% I get the message it it not possible to migrate apps (the same behaviour was also before enabling that option.
There are some data written on the SD card (2GB the system says), so the card should be ok. I tried to unmount/mount the card, did not help. Would it be possible that the card is not fast enough and the system prohibits to migrate apps but allows to write data?

Redmi go network issues
Hi guys. Please i am having a network issue on my redmi go. What happens is that; i have full network bars but when i try to make a call to bars go completely empty and i get a response "mobile network unavailable". And the funniest thing is that I can send and recieve text messages when there's network, but i cannot make or recieve calls. I have tried different sim cards from different operators but it is still the same thing. I have tried changing the imei of the phone but i cant.. Please help me.
Hi everyone. I wanted to change what long pressing home button does (not using google assistant at all) but, could not find the option to change it. Any ideas?

hey friend,
you can do that with Gravity Box which is a module for Xposed Framework. you need to root the phone and then install the Xposed Framework and then install Gravity Box. remember that these things can cause problems and loss of data.
please make sure you get the versions of Xposed and Gravity Box that suit your android version.
and please feel free to ask for more information
have a great day!

hi friend,
i don't know what to do but maybe you can contact the support of Xiaomi and see what can be done.
if you have flashed another stock rom on the phone than the one it came with, i don't know if it can cause this problem but it seems possible to me that a stock rom that suits a different country could in specific cases cause problems with the network. so if that is the case (if you have flashed a different rom, i don't mean if you have just installed an update) i would try to reflash the stock rom that suits the country that the phone you have was created for.
i don't know about changing the IMEI so i'm not mentioning it and i don't know if it can cause any further problems generally or when you change roms.
and i think that changing roms might sometimes void the warranty
i hope that you find a solution! have a great day
