I installed RCMixHD rom on my desire last night and went through all the set-up without problem. My issue is that for some reason I seem to have all my wife's sms messages on my phone as well as her contacts. I have not used her SIM in my phone and not used her SD card (she has the Desire HD), the only thing I did do was connect to HTC Sense using her account not mine (as she was registered to one of my email addresses).
Does anyone know what data is stored in HTC Sense or can anyone tell me any other reason why this could have occurred?

Hello.
I am asking a question about the database access for messaging and contacts. Ever since I went back to Sense-based roms (namely LeeDroid 2.3d), I have the problem of slow access to my messages. This includes reading, writing and deleting.
I have about 5000 messages, and previously being on both Froyo AOSP based roms and Gingerbread based roms (Oxygen 2, Cyn 7), I had very fast and responsive system to work with my messages.
Now, in HTC Sense, it takes me about 1 seconds to access my messages from the time I click on my message. Is there anything I could do to fix this problem?
Here is some more technical data:
- HTC Desire AMOLED. HTC Sense. Rooted. S-OFF 0.93. LeeDroid 2.3d. App2SD
- SD Card: 8Gb Class 2. 256Mb EXT2.
- HTC Messaging app disabled. Using ChompSMS.
- about 5000 SMSs on the system.
Please do let me know of a solution. I am not a novice and have searched the forum before posting (but didnt find anything). I also know that uncle Google is a friend.
Thank you,
Mo.
HTC Sense is a slower rom in general. It prob doesn't help that you have 5000 messages anyway but still.

Unfortunately, Sense roms tend to be rather heavy and when it comes to reading and accessing 5000 messages I would say it could get rather slow depending on where they are stored and what they are stored on.
In your case its a class 2 microSD card. You could consider purchasing a class 6 or 10 card to speed things up. Especially since you have an EXT partition that is probably being used by the system.
Thanks for the replies. The question is that this is the same exact system setup that i had with the AOSP roms, whether froyo or gingerbread. and the response time was much much quicker, with 4800 messages.
I have now, removed all the messages, and re-written them to the database.
In between i tried to send a text when the database was empty - it took the same exact time. how is that even possible when it is empty?!!?!

Hi a while ago i was trying to root my phone,so i copied the contents of two sd cards on to my pc,whilst resetting everything last time,and inserting the memory card with one of the images,all my messages returned again,so somewhere on the sd memory this lives,id rather not go through the process of transferring stuff off etc of my current mem card,so does anyone know the location of the data relating to messages?
I know it seems longwinded but if anyone knows id appreciate it as i need one of those messages
I am sure that SMS messages are not stored in the SDcard. They should be stored somewhere in the /data folder in the internal memory...
However, I think your messages came back from HTC sense account sync if you had one before you wiped everything.
Setup HTC sense account again and cross your fingers, if you have a sense account now, delete it a re-do it and hope that might help.
You are in fact a legend,that worked

I really fail to see what HTC Sense Accounts were about. It was probably a major factor in me getting a DHD over the D (of course, now that I am running a custom ROM, I wouldn't go back!).
Anywho, they are meant to be able to track your phone, see where it has been, store all your messages etc. I set it up as instructed, logged in, ran through all the hopes, enabled all the right settings, and what happens? Nothing. 95% of the time when I try to access the site, it doesn't want to work. Also, it has only saved about my first 5 text messages.
In the end I find that using SMSBackup+ is the best thing to do. It allows you to backup all your texts/mms/call log to your GMail account.
Hi guys, I've a problem, I can't export contacts from phone to SIM card.
I have even tried installing other apps (Contact2Sim, Copy to Sim card, Sim2Phone) but do not work.
I have an HTC Desire Z with Andromadus ROM.
some roms don't allow for this others do, either find a different way to sync or move to another rom. maybe someone else can shed some light on this better as I haven't stored contacts on my sim since nokia days

I too was looking to store a contact on my SIM card, but all my phone allowed for me to do was to import contacts off the SIM card instead of the other way around.
I just did some searching of this and it may be based on the device rather than the ROM. Phone manufacturers are maybe phasing out the saving of contacts to the SIM card, especially on smartphones, as these devices have a persistent connection to the internet and an offsite location where the contacts are actually stored. It does make sense when you think about it.
In the end I just created a new contact and saved it on my Google account.
A friend just got a One V from Virgin and she has asked me to sort out her contacts. I have looked at it and there is a + sign in the edit section of contacts but it is faded out and you can't add multiple numbers for a contact. I set up her samsung phone before with a custom ROM and contacts worked just fine.
Has anyone heard of this happening before? Is it something that is just part of the HTC One V package that Virgin has bought or is there something obvious that I am missing? I also have my own android phone (blade) running CM7 and the contacts works just fine in that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Just an idea: could it be that your friend stored the contact at the SIM card (not in the phone storage)?
thanks..
Yup, silly me. Never thought of checking whether she had installed the contacts to the phone or the sim. Once on the phone everything worked fine.
Much appreciated.

Hello everyone,
Before I start describing my problem I want to say that I did look over many threads and forums looking for a solution and I'm writing this as my last effort.
I have an htc wildfire S which is, well, broken since yesterday. I dropped it on the floor and the touch screen broke and is not responding although the phone does turn on. I got a new phone, also an android and I'm trying to transfer my contacts and messages from the old one to the new because, stupidly, I didn't back them up (yes, I know...).
The broken phone has enabled USB debugging although it is in "charge only" mode. It has also never been rooted.
I tried pulling contact2.db to sd card through adb command line but that didn't work since it returned "access denied." I also tried MyMobiler but I couldn't connect it to the phone.
Is there any way I can get these contacts and messages back?
Regards,
Jakub.

I am having the same issue did you got the solution how to backup the message.
Your contacts should be backed up to the google account you had, assuming you had it set up like that (its default)

Try Backuptrans Android SMS + MMS Transfer. It lets you backup messages from android to computer even with a broken screen.
