Hi, I just got my hero a few days ago.
Previously I had saved some SMS onto my SIM card on a SE handphone.
With the SMSes still in the SIM card, how can I read them from Hero?
Thanks
Open up messages.... press menu button... then settings. Third down the list is "Manage SIM card messages
I could not find the option in handcent sms, but manage to find it in the default message widget.
thanks, it works.
Hi there, I have a SIM card that supports two phone numbers. All I have to do is go to the Sim Toolkit, select the 2in1 menu and it swaps from mobile #1 and mobile #2. Basically, it forwards call from one number to the other.
My problem is that everything related to calls (timers, counters, history, etc.) is lost when I swap between the 2 lines. Also when I go to see my contacts, every time it says that a new SIM has been detected and if I want to copy the contacts from the SIM to the phone.
Is there a fix about this? The phone is the Alcatel 995.
Thank you in advance.
This phone is Dual SIM or works with one only? Maybe it's SIM problem because is 2 different numbers. Android thinks there is a new SIM on the phone, so this cannot be fixed.

No, the phone is not Dual Sim. Its just one sim and with the SIM Toolkit you can change between the two phone numbers. Is there at least some application that keeps its own call history and doesnt read it from the stock android app?
Thanks.
Hi there, I am searching for an app that can keep a call log in its own database and not read the one off the phone.
My problem is that I have a 2in1 sim card and whenever I switch from one phone number to the other with the Sim Toolkit, the phone thinks that the sim changed and resets my call log.
Another problem it has (for which I dont really care) is that whenever I enter the Contacts app, it says, new sim detected, copy new contacts to phone? but thats nothing.
Thanks.
This seems to be a regular stupid problem in Android phones.
I had to change my SIM card to get a micro-sim for the GS3.
Now, my existing number is working again with the micro SIM, but the number apparently isn't actually STORED in the SIM card itself.
So, as far as the phone status is concerned, the number remains UNKNOWN.
It's not such a big deal, but a few apps do want it to be there.
Is there any way to change the number in the SIM, apart from taking it out and stuffing it in a Blackberry just to change it, etc ?

Thanks for the reply rizky, but I have no problem with contacts - I've sync'ed all those no problem. It's my own phone number that's the issue.
In the ideal world, my own phone number should be saved in a special part of the SIM card (different to contacts). I believe that sometimes the network operator sends a special type of text message to update it if you get a new card. Unfortunately, my new card didn't get updated, so although the phone works OK, my GS3 doesn't actually know it's own number.
I can READ the number as "unknown" in the phone status screen, but it is not possible to edit it in Android.

This is not a setting in stock android devices. You usually find the setting in cyanogen roms under call settings.
There are apps on the market that can write your number to your sim card. They have varying success

I presume that they need root access though, don't they?
Android, setting Own number / My Phone Number Galaxy SIII
First, to see if your phone knows your number go to:
Settings -> About Device -> Status -> My phone number
Often it's wrong if you transferred your number from another SIM or is simply unrecognized perhaps because it's a new SIM and it has never been entered.
To correct it:
There is an app. on the market "My Phone Number" but this frequently won't work on the SIII so,
If you use cyanogen six and aboveYou will have an option to enter or change your own number. Settings -> Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My phone numberIf you are not using CyanogenA simple way to correct the number grab an old "dumb" phone. The number is stored on the SIM card, so you need to remove you Galaxy SIII SIM and put it in the old phone.
(you can use a Micro SIM adapter or in some cases you can just tape the card in the correct position if it is an open slot)
Older basic phones often have an option to change/enter "special numbers" including "My Number"
Most often the option is under Contacts, Options, Special Numbers although depending on the model you may need to hunt around for the setting.
It is worth correcting this if it is missing or incorrect because some apps and contact features rely on the number being correctly entered.

w00t - just discovered this!
Well, you can do all that, or you can do this (much more straightforward, IMHO)
There's an Xposed framework solution to this glitch here
Works a treat!
Get it done!
good to know Xposed can do it now.
Its not an android glitch. Its a SIM card glitch
A glitch nonetheless

Hi everyone,
I am currently using WhatsApp on 1 device with a UK SIM card. I want to switch to my Brazilian SIM card and use WhatsApp with that (seperate) account on the same device, but still have the facility to switch back and forth between the two when I change the SIM card over.
But WhatsApp now has a feature to "make changing number easy" which I think converts the account to a new number. Does anyone know how to do it differently?
