I recently received my Verizon TP2 and noticed that I dont have sms/mms messaging on the phone. I was able to add email accounts to the phone but I dont see text messages in the account picker or the drop down box if I am in an email account. Any thoughts on how I can restore it without hard resetting the phone?
Thanks
on your previous phone...were you using the same micro sd card that you now have in the tp2? if so... with the file explorer, delete your old email inbox folder off your sd card.. i know that sounds strange but i had a similar instance where my sms messaging dissappeared off my phone and conflicting email folders was the cause... hope this is your problem and fix!
I already did a hard reset. But just to be safe I erased my old inbox folders on my storage card.
Thanks

Is is possible to delete an email account data from the database? I did a hard reset on my Dash and then restored the database using Sprite in order to recover my text messages. Now when I try to setup my email accounts again, it tells me the account already exists. I have searched and cannot find anything.

Normally it is windows - messaging
you can store all your email also directly to your SD card.
When you store your text messages on your sim card, they will never lost...
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.
hey people, few days ago when i am using my phone, i realised some contacts has 2 entries and some has 3 similar entries. so i delete them one by one and thought that will be the end of the problem.
after that, i never use my phone to sms. but today when i look through the 'People' application, all my contacts got duplicated. and when i try to delete one of it, it ended up deleting both of them. i never sync to any places, including gmail at all.
can anyone help me with this problem?
I believe some of them are from facebook contact and some of them are contacts stored in your simcard...
This annoyed me too. So I took the pain to delete all my contacts stored in my simcard.
Give it a try.

hmm. i already choose do not sync from facebook already. if i delete all my contacts from simcard, i need to add them 1 by 1 back? cause right nw when i delete 1, both will be deleted
One is "call mobile" and another one is "sent message"?
A screenshot may be helpful...
Another good way is, if you still have your old phone with you (with all your contacts in it), then delete all the contacts in this new phone, including the simcard.
Then select "set up", i.e., the icon looks like a magician's hat, select send from my old phone from there...
its back to normal again...
all i did was take out my sim card and put it back to my old phone to copy the contacts into the mem card there. after i placed my sim card back to my desire hd, the total number of contacts go back to normal and all the duplicated contacts has disappeared.
this is strange
I found that even having facebook contacts sync disabled I was still getting this problem. I had to stop using the facebook facility built into sense and only use the facebook app but that seemed to work.
So I deleted all my messages in my inbox, however a few remain. There is the sim card icon next to them so I assume they are saved to the sim. I select them and click move to phone. But they still stay there. Is there some way to clear the sim or just clear these messages?!
Have not been able to duplicate your issue, but go to System/Tools and open SIM manager and there are all the interface tools to take care of items stored to SIM, like IM, email and contacts. You can see everything that is stored on the SIM card and move, edit or delete them.
Hope this helps,

Your problem was answered above. The move to phone option only copies the message, it doesn't delete it or 'move' the message as the dialogue suggests.
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!
