[Q] How do I delete sms from sim card? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running Cyanogen mod and I can not figure out how to gain access to my sim card and delete contacts and text messages from it.
Is it possible and if so how do I do it?

Go into Message app, Press menu button, go into settings and click on "Manage SIM Card Messages"
From here you can delete your msg's saved on your SIM!

Thats the problem, I don't have the "manage sim card" option in the settings. I can't find anything on the phone about getting to my sim card.

Goto Messages,Press Menu button>Settings then select Manage SIM Card Messages

I had that issue too. Just moved my SIM card to an old phone (Some old Nokia) and deleted the messages there.

My phone says sim card full delete messages but when you do that it says delete fsiled

Viewing SIM card SMS

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.

come on man that was 1st thing i did. thats only to copy sim contacts. problem there is that it does not list sim contacts without you having to copy them over and says sim card unavailable in dialler app. you should be able to see all your contacts in there i.e google, sim and phone etc. where its says sim card unavailable you should see your phone number.

After a while I found it out myself, but thanks anyway. Btw, not showing my number isn't a big deal for me, I think everybody knows his own number.
manthess, how did you do it?
I did the same what meddle said.
which is to copy the sim to phone? tt'll double up the contacts...

[Q] Phone Not Receiving Text Messages

Hi,
I have been having a recurring problem where my phone will not receive text messages and then randomly after maybe two weeks will receive them all in one go and then work for a little while and stop receiving them again.
I am running the latest official 2.1 release rooted and de branded with JIT enabled. This was also happening on my original 1.6 software and worked for over a month when I upgraded.
I called my provider (3) and they recommend a software reset which works however I don't want to keep doing this. Is there a way to reset the network settings or something or does anyone know a way to fix this problem even temporarily or permanently.
All help is appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay Pather.

this will remove only apps installed from the market and third party apps also your contacs it will not remove your photos videos and music from your sd card you can to make a backup from your contacts this way go to contacts push menu-import/export-export to sd card it will create a vcard in your sd for restore follow the same steps contacts-import/export-import from sd card and for your aplications you can use appmonster free from the market is very intuitive just select the app and it will shows a window and then select backup to sd remember the hard reset will not erase nothing in your sd card i hope that solves your problem
im having the same problem. i wasnt able to recieve any text messages, but the thing is, text is completely lost. its getting me pissed.
So does anyone know if I can reset the network cause if I put my sim into another phone it still won't receive them!

Have u checked the messaging number used by your sim card to send and recieve messages. I some how managed to mess mine up. But by putting the sim in a mobile broadband dongle on the correct network it allowed me to change the number saved on the sim card back to the correct message centre.

[Q] Recover SIM contacts

Is there any way to recover my contacts from the SIM card within the phone or through ADB? Someone pulled a stupid prank on me and deleted my SIM contacts.
I can't buy a SIM card reader, and i'd like to recover them as fast as possible. Any ideas?
Try this:
Press menu on contacts
Click import/export
Import from SIM card.

Call log history app that has own database?

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.
