Hello. i have a 8525 thats cid and sim unlocked. I am (finally) running vp3g's wm6 rom. i want to store my text messages to the 2gig micro sd. how do i go about doing this?

Maybe by backing them up periodically with PIM Backup 2.5.

Sim card contacts

I've upgraded my P3600 to WM6 (thanks to Lasagna). With WM5 I could see all the contacts, both stored in the phone and in the SIM Card. With WM6 I can only see the contacts i the phone but not the one onthe SIM Card.
How can I find them without copying them in the phone memory?
Thanks

HELP ... Schap's WM6 Pro 4.31 SD CARD Issue

Have just successfully updated to my very first ROM ! Yay me !
MR Vanx's instructions worked a treat.
I have a small problem since the upgrade and I am hoping someone can help me please ?
I can't see my storage card anymore. It worked 100% error free in WM5. I did the upgrade to the ROM without the card in the phone so as to make sure I didn't loose anything. Now I can't see it !
HELP Someone.

Same here, it happened to me too. I went back to my official Orange WM5 rom, and then moved up to PAY's WM6.1 rom. So that makes two people who had SD card trouble with Schap's WM6 4.31 !!!
PS. Tried my card in my friends phone (same as mine) who is running 3.30c and it worked fine. Guess it must be something in 4.31 ?
I ran 4.31 with both a 2gb and an 8gb microSD/microSDHC card without problems with tons of apps installed on the cards.
Well its been an issue with some people and not with others. There is a whole long thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1908699#post1908699
I get problems with Schap's 4.31 and not with any other ROM so atleast for me that ROM is the problem.

I tried with a lot of different sd cards (1gb till 6gb) without any problem on 4.31. Do you have extended rom visible? If yes, your card could be not visible. Try also to add a "My Document" directory on the card. Do not ask me why but it can help. And... but i suppose you tried already: soft reset after installing the card.
My 2 cents

Done all what you've said and much more to the point of buying various cards of different make, but nothing works !!!
I have been running 4.31 for awhile and haven't seen any problems.
You mentioned that you took the card out while flashing. Have you tried to flash again with the card in? It shouldn't have any effect to the data on the card. Of course now that i've said that, it will probably wipe it clean, so you better back it up(usb card reader works great)
You could also try wm5torage, it's a long shot, but maybe it would wake something up.
Good luck anyways.
I had this problem once. Check to see if there is a 'Storage Card' directory present when the card is out of your phone. If there is one, when the card is inserted it creates a "Storage Card2" directory that does not work properly with windows.
Eject the card and remove the directory. Soft reset and try again.
Thanks for the input guys. Very impressed with the fast response.
I have tried a couple of things suggested already and the others have made no difference.
Not a problem. I think i will just flash a different version of the Schaps ROM for now and see how I get on.
Well, for those interested I flashed 3.30c and still had the same issue. My friends card worked in my phone and mine in his. I backed my card up using my pc and a card reader. I re-formatted th card and the phone then saw it !!
I did however notice that it was a little flaky but found if I pushed the card up slightly using my finger nail on the back side the contacts made better connection and it stayed.
Then came my moment of pure and utter genius ... I decided to try to bend the card slightly to get the cards contacts to make better connection.
Thats right you read correctly, I bent the card, in fact what actually happened was that I snapped the card !! DOH !!!!
Oh well. Guess I am in the market for a new card.
Is 2GB my limit or can 4GB work ?

I hate it when that happens.
Anyway, WM5 = SD card = 2 gig per the spec
WM6 = SDHC card = 32 gig per the spec
I've got a 4 gig in mine, working fine, phone sees the entire card
Thanks for the info and for not laughing at my stupidity !
Appreciate it.

If I had laughed, it would have been in sympathy, as well as at myself. I've done boneheaded things such as that before!
What formatt is the sd card? FAT32, FAT??
I formatted it FAT.
I just feel so silly for doing something so stupid !
Just popped in my new 6gb SDHC card and it is working sweet as a nut.
Sandisk one btw.

Hard reset

Is there any need to remove the sim card and / or the storage card in order to hard reset my Artemis? Is there any risk of either becoming corrupted? I don't want to loose data on the storage card. Thanks
No problem.
Just for Hardreset, nothing matters. You can always do with SIM card and Storage card on it. Only for flashing new ROM you must take out SDHC storage card and SIM card too as you don't want to interrupt the flashing when a call comes.
OK, I've done the hard reset, and everything's fine except for one thing....
All of my text messages have gone. Now, I took great care to do a backup using HTC's Sprite Backup, I also copied all of the contents of the internal storage, and storage card 2, to my computer. I've done a full backup and restore using the Sprite Backup.
So, where does this Artemis store text messages, just in case I can still restore them from one of these backups? Thanks
Hi...

I've only recently started using Sprite and made a couple of backups myself.
It restored all my texts. When you did your backup, were all the folders and sub folders ticked? All I can think of is perhaps a box in the sprite backup needed to be ticked to save text messages. I'm probably wrong and I'm sure sprite would have had everything auto ticked, at least, it was for me. Except for my storage card which was unticked. But the hard reset didn't affect my storage card and like yourself, I had already copied everything to a folder on my hard drive.

Backup

I'd like to make the backup of my HD and his Sd memory.
Is it possible ?
How ?????
You could back up your HD with Sprite Backup and the like. This will be stored on your SD card. This can be scheduled to take place automatically every night.
To back up your SD card, you could make a copy of that (by USB connection in Fast Disk mode) to your PC.

You can get SPB Backup, it creates EXE files that you can restore from your SD card to recover from a really bad reset....
which one is better? the SPB Backup or Sprite Backup?
I used Sprite for a long time and out of say 10 restores, 1 or 2 failed. Thats why I keep backups for the past 4 days as opposed to only the day before.
Currently I am using SPB Backup and its good. All thier apps are excellent, so after trying it during the trial period and finding I like it, I bought it.

How to save text message and contacts in SD

Is there anyone can help me how to configure text message so i can save text message and contact in my SD or my UIM Card ?
ok, please don't tell me, you really have a UIM card, meaning, that you are on a CDMA network, then the entire other thread you opened was redundant, BECAUSE:
cdma devices of the general shape and outlooks of the blueangel are called harrier, meaning they cannot be upgraded with wm6 anyways.
but to come to your actual question. there is no way to store your contacts or sms on the sd card directly. they need to be stored in the phone. if however you are planning on making backup copies of your pim data to the sd card, to not lose the data in case of a hard reset, download -=PIM backup by DotFred=- and put the app on your sd card and make backups to the sd card, that way you always have all your data save in case you somehow should lose the device's storage's contents.
