2 phone related issues - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

1. is there any option/tweak to have contacts saved in phone memory automatically saved in the sim card too ? so much rom flashing gave me a pain in the but after loosing several phone numbers (p.s. automatically save new number to contacts doesn't work too .. maybe cause i use the standard winmobile dialer ?)
2. does the diamond have the basic "redirect calls" option? i've looked for it in settings > phone > services but i can't find it
p.s. searched the forum but didn't find anything related

1. an alternative is a program call PPCPimbackup (free)which will back up all your contacts/sms/call logs/appoinments/tasks/. search google for it.

2. try in Call Forwarding

No Service and phone no longer working as a phone

Hi all
I've had the phone for over a year (from Vodafone UK) and it's been working fine 99% of the time. However, yesterday it suddenly displayed "No Service" and the following started happening:
- can't press "Phone" or the green dial button - therefore I can't make or receive calls
- can't press "Contacts" or access contacts in any other way
- can't get ActiveSync to run
- googlemail account only connects when I do send/receive - but I can't change the settings
- incoming text messages display the number of the person and not their name (hence methinks the SIM or phone memory isn't being recognised)
- can't access Tasks or Calendar (neither will they display on the home page)
- when I try to launch Tasks via Business Appls I get this error "No program memory available. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Memory, stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again." - but this achieves nothing
- and generally the phone is no longer usable as a phone
Have spoken with Vodafone support who reckon the device is faulty and needs to be sent back to Vodafone.
Have checked the SIM in another phone and it worked fine (albeit with no contacts on it - which I'm thinking is because they're all on the v1615 but not being recognised?).
Is this a known fault? Is it a case of restoring to factory default (which would be a pain because I spent ages last year getting it set up how I like it)?
Any advice much appreciated (especially as this is my first post)
Thanks

Sounds like you do have to restore it to factory Just make sure to backup youre contacts, sms, mail and so on. Move files you need to pc or sd card. If you planing on having a certain setup on youre phone you should take backup of its state when you have installed all apps and so on whit Spb Backup or simulare of youre choice.
Anyway, I would not for the world send it in before I had tried to hard reset. VERY odd if they didnt recommend you todo so on phone?
Thanks Raiisak
I can't access any contacts (or notes, tasks, calendar stuff) on the phone itself, so I'm assuming Exchange will keep hold of these. I've copied all other files onto my SC Card ... but how do I copy SMS's?

search for PIMBackup...an excellent backup/restore tool for sms and contacts and a lot more.

Can´t send SMS ??

Hi, I had my HTC DT2 for a week now, and in the weekend when i recived a sms and should answer the sms a box came up with "can´t send sms" Have tried switching on/off different things but can´t still send sms. I switch my sim card to a regular gsm phone and it worked perfect, so can some one help me !!
I think the problem is, that outlook saves the contacts with a + and a space between the prefix and the number.. e.g "+49 69123456". try to delete a contact and add this person again with your device and try again.
I have changed my numbers from +46707.....
to 0046707... and just 0707..... no success ! I can receive sms, but not send !!
I have not get my contacts from outlook, they where saved on my simcard and exported when i put it in my HTC TD2, and i can call the numbers, so just why sms? I have downloaded 2pch ring tones from a webpage, could there be some sort of virus ?? I have now deleted the 2 ring tones, but the issue remains.
You need a few settings in your phone to be able to send sms. I have a swedish device, and I guess yours is too? Anyway, I'm not sure what those settings are called in english, so I'll guide you in swedish too. =)
The first is the number to your "SMSC":
Settings - Phone - top thing... "service"? and then SMS
Inställningar - Telefon - Telefontjänster - Röstmeddelanden och SMS
Tele2 is my provider, so I'll have +46707990001 as my SMSC (SMS-servicecenter), check with your provider what number you should have there
Second setting is under advanced network(?)
Settings - Connections - Advanced... - SMS-service
Inställningar - (Mer) - Anslutningar - Avancerat nätverk - SMS-tjänst
I'm not sure if you need to change this, but try set it to only GSM.
Hope that'll work.
had the same problem, ensure that the mobile phone number you are try to message is saved under mobile number in the contact. If it is saved as work number or something else you will have problems sending sms's don't know why but that's how i solved my problem.

Problem with phone settings/speeddial after crash.

After a phone crash, moving data to a sd card with activesync, i lost nearly all tabs on the phone settings. I just have the tabs to set the ringtone, services and the network selector. Settings like band/pin/pin2 etc are gone... Also when calling, you can use the numbers to look up a contact, this functionality is also broken. I'm using a stock rom and only have SPB shell installed. I also checked the registry in HLM/Software/OEM/phonesettings and all settings are set to 1. How can i fix this?

[Q] Save SMS to SIM automatically

Anyone know a way to make my Diamond save every incoming SMS messages to the SIM automatically? Almost all the "not-so-smartphones" have the option to do it but i can't find this on the Diamond.
I know it's possible to copy the messages, but it's easy to forget and to be honest i'm changing / upgrading my ROM much more times than switching SIM cards. I also know i can make a backup to restore my messages after a ROM upgrade, but seriously, an option (or registry tweak... anything) to make incoming messages go to SIM would be better for me.
Any help appreciated!
(PS: sorry for my bad english!)

Lenovo K3 Note Contacts trouble

I have a strange problem. When I receive a call from people stored in phone Contacts sometimes I can see the name who is calling, many times there is only phone number and no name!? All those calls are from people stored in Contacts.
All contacts was stored to the phonebook at one time by sync with my Gmail.
I look and tried everything in Options but I still have no solution.
I even tried to erase some contacts and added them back again and it s still the same.
Please help me!!!

Use other dialer (download any dialer from google store) . I had the same problem and this helped
I also had the same problem, I added the same number prefixed +44 as a secondary contact and that fixed it. And then I got a new dialer.
The problem maybe is with the duplicacy of contacts. If a no. is added twice then, no name is shown.. Also make sure contacts to display option has phone memory has phone memory selected and all contacts are also copied in phone memory & no duplicate contacts..
Hi s_assist,
Can you tell me how to do the below step as mentioned above.
Go to setting -> Contact Storage : Clear Cache, Clear data
In Lenovo K3 note, "clear cache" & "clear data" are in DISABLE state in CONTACT STORAGE.
Can you tell me how to proceed further?
Thanks in advance

SOLVED !!!
I was also facing such hanging problem ! sometimes all contacts tab in WhatsApp used to load very slow!
I checked on many forums,
I had a Chat with Lenovo Support team, they suggested to do a factory reset,
I have also been to authorised service center, even they suggested to do a factory reset
But before doing a factory reset I thought to clear all data for Whatsapp (that reset my whatsapp) and since then I am not facing such issue !!
After Whatsapp reset, its about 5 days I am using my phone but no hang issue
1.
'Backup chats' from whatsapp setting
2.
Settings > apps > whatsapp > Clear Data
(this resets whatsapp, like new installation)
3.
uninstall whatsapp
4.
restart phone, and reinstall whatsapp from google play store
5.
run and sign in to whatsapp, It prompts to restore chat from backup, you can restore if you wish to (I restored)
6.
bang ! done, check yours...
P.S.
My all Contacts/account SYNC is ON
Cheers
I am facing the same problem with k3 note. Some of my saved contacts are not displayed. Need some help.
