Understood that contacts, by default, have to be saved in the internal memory. I wonder if anyone knows a third party software that enables me to save contacts to storage card.
I got more than 5000 contacts, my 8525 internal memory cannot handle that much data. Yes, I understand I can do a mess delete or group the contacts into different categories. These are my next step IF I cannot find a good contact management software.
PIM Backup
Thanks, but I am not talking about backup. My Hermes does not have enough memory to handle 5000 contacts.

My Qtek 2020 is sometimes hard resetting - resulting in that I loose much data. Most can be recovered by a sync with Outlook.
BUT
My SMS/text messages cannot
I dont want to manually move them - i am looking for an automated solution that saves my incoming/sendt etc, sms/text messages to my storage card.
Any solutions?
If you DO; Please email me to [email protected]
how can i change where the treaded sms's are saved?
Like what are you referring to where they are saved. Do you want to save them on the storage card or what?
I'd also like to know if the sms's are stored to the SIM, Phone memory or storage card. I just did a hard reset this morning so I'd like to set it up so it saves to the storage card for SMS, MMS and email.
yeah, for the threaded sms. can i change the default save location to the storage card?
bump, anyone?
I save a contact, X1 asks me where do i want to save it, outlook or SIM..once i save in outlook, for what ever reason i do a hard reset, the NEW contacts are GONE!!!
Same problem here, just gave it a hard reset as I installed something faulty and now all my new contacts are just gone. I was assuming it was saved on my memorycard...

Contact Filter
Hi Guys,
Maybe a little obvious but have you tried fiddling with the contact filter setting in the contact menu on the dialler screen. It allows you to filter by either Sim or Outlook. maybe you have that set incorrectly.

I hope you mis-spoke
Seriously? Hard-reset erases EVERYTHING on your phone. Outlook contact info is always on phone memory, not SD card.
If you want to save it before a hard-reset then use a PIM backup program or sync first to an exchange server/desktop outlook and after hard-reset recover your contacts.
If you meant soft-reset, then that may be a different issue that I cannot help with, but if you mean hard-reset PLEASE be aware that it resets EVERYTHING on the phone memory back to original ROM files.
If you have contacts saved to SIM they will not be affected by hard-resets. By default new contacts are saved to phone memory and not SIM.
I have an extensive address book and calendar. When syncing to my pc (Outlook & Windows 7) I am always getting a "not enough memory" (regardless of which rom I use). I have an 8gb memory card that I would like to utilize to free up some main memory. Any thoughts on how to do this (and yes I have searched)?
Hi
Delivery of my new Nexus has posed one very important question? My previous HTC sensation had all my contacts on board the sd card. I forgot to transfer the contacts to the sim and now my new Nexus has no sd slot and my pc wont read my phonebook contacts so I am in a spot of bother as I dont know who is calling me at anytime. Can anybody shed some light?

One of the big advantages to have a Google Android phone over a non smart phone was the built in feature of contact sync between the device and the Google "cloud" for each Google account on the device.
I've always used this contact sync feature and it has provided peace of mind knowing my contacts are also backed up in the cloud where I can access them online, download them, edit or save them without having access to my device.
Also, as I move between Android devices, all I do is login with my Google account and the device loads my most recent version of the contacts and then continues to keep them in sync.
I do know Android stores the contacts in a .db file under the /data partition and this could be pulled from a device as a rough backup/restore method. I don't recall having heard of anybody saving their contacts to the 'sd card'. I'm not really sure the benefit to this. The contacts .db file for Android is an sqlite database, as all other .db files on Android are, and there are programs out there to import/export contacts to/from these sqlite .db files.
What type of contacts file are you referring to? .db ? Could you post up the name of the exact file? What application did you use to create the contacts on your sdcard?
The more detailed the information the better the reply.
Hope that helps and I didnt miss the mark!
