[Q] How to delete messages from sim card? - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, here's the story:
Every time I get a text message from my voicemail (and only from voicemail) it is stored on sim card, not in the phone memory. When I delete it, the sms disappears (which is pretty normal) but then mysteriously reappears after a soft-reset (which isn't normal). When I use my sim card in a different phone I can delete the message for good (it doesn't show up again in my TD2). You know, asking friends to lend me their phone 'cause I need to delete an sms is a bit weird.
So, the question is: is there any way to delete the sms from sim card PERMANENTLY without removing the sim card from my phone?

I had exact same problem with my TD2.
Raised it with Orange UK support, they could not fix it so eventually sent me a new sim which fixed the problem.

Thanks for advice. I'll try to convince Telfort to change my sim then, free of charge Hope it works.

SMS Center setting

how can I set SMS center in HTC diamond?
I can't send sms and it said I should set my SMS Center in setting
please help me
You should ask your operator for a new SIM card. I got the same error message and after days trying all kinds of ways, I still couldn't set the SMS center number. Then I read about others having the same problem. In all cases a new SIM card proved to be the only solution. And it also worked for me. So, good luck!
Settings>Personal>Phone>Services>Voice Mail and Text Messages...Get Settings...
You can change the Message Center number there. By default it takes the number from the SIM.
this problem only exist in this phone and my other cellphones didn't have problem with my SIM card I test it on P990 and N6681. Also I test it with 2 other oparators SIM
also when try to get Settings... it said Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again.

I finally went to the local Telfort shop, after I read about the SIM cause/solution. I showed the same error message and swapped SIM's with the girl behind the counter. Her newer SIM worked on my Diamond and my older SIM worked on her Nokia. That proved the combination of my older SIM and the Diamond was the problem. So I got a new SIM for free and now no more problems getting settings and sending SMS
I test my SIM and SMS Center setting exist in SIM card,
anyone know that this problem is related to SPL, RADIO or OS? or may be SIM Lock?
I can recieve SMS and also call with all 3 SIMs

It could be the radio version.. Apart from that I wouldn't know if it's related to anything specific in the Diamond. It looks like there's nothing wrong with my SIM unlocked Diamond and it looked like there wasn't anything wrong as such with my previous SIM, either, as I could send SMS with it on other devices.
Somehow, it's is the combination of those two together. Like you, except for getting the Voice Mail and Text Messages settings, I could receive SMS, call and get all the other network settings with the old SIM. With the new SIM, I can send SMS and get the Voice Mail and Text Messages settings.
but my problem appear after ROM upgrade, before that I used my SIM and phone for more than 2 month
also I used 2 other sims from other oparators and this operator non of them working

I know. I didn't have a problem either with my previous SIM on the stock 1.37 ROM. The problem appeared after flashing a 1.93 ROM. So if you want to keep using your current SIM's, or can't get a newer SIM, you can also flash back your previous ROM and see if that works for you..

Diamond wont receognise sim card

i have a problem with my diamond. It only reads my sim card, wont read any other sim card that is inserted. It was originally using XOR morna rom, done a new flash and still same problem. Re-flashed with a original HTC rom, but still same problem. I some how think its not a software problem as it has been flashed/hard-reset numerous times.
Any one know what problem can be or if anyone has same problem, with solution
thanks

Mmmm...
When you say it only reads 'your' SIM card, do you mean it's SIM locked. If you're on vodafone for instance, and you put another vodafone SIM in, does it recognise that? Or do you mean it won't allow any other SIM at all... even if the network's the same?
If it's the first option, your device is obviously SIM locked, if it's the second option, have you installed any security software like Ultimate Theft Alert, or similar, which will also block any other SIMs??
its not sim locked, it was an unbranded phone when i first got it. I am on three and have tried 3 different other three sim cards and also a vodaphone simcard, non of them work.
Its like there is no sim card at all. Im starting to thinbk its a hardware problem not software as i have flashed it few times now with different roms
any ideas, i need to get this working urgently
Mmmm...
Definitely sounds like a hardware issue to me. It's probably time to send it away
Hey Kerm when you put the sim cards does it ask you for for the pin??? or what you could do is see if you can try to clean the sim contact in your phone or run a eraser over the sim card contact and see if there is a difference
had a problem with an unreadable sim-card a few months ago as well; A new sim-card solved my problem... But since you are having trouble with 3 different cards, it might be a hardware problem in your case indeed.
doesnt ask for any pins, as soon as the phone starts up with another sim card inserted, it says no sim card. When it starts up with mu simcard inserted, phone function runs as normal, i can see reception bars etc
I had the same problem when i received my diamond. Tried several sim cards but none was recognized.
I received a new phone because it was a hardware failure.
Sounds like mu has a way of making a new kinda sim lock that only works with there phones ,I would digg a lil deeper and make sure its not a sim lock on your phone
what do you mean by MU, couldnt make it out. How can i find out about if its been sim locked

[Q] contacts problem in x1

in my x1 im not able to see the name who is calling me, even i saved their number in my phone,
but i guess the problem is the number is saved in both phone memory and sim card,
that means when i go to contacts i see the names repeated one with simcard symbol and other contact symbol.
if this is the problem any one tell me how to use one phone memory or sim memory in contacts.
This could indeed be the cause for your problem. Programs like xperia tweak or sk tools allow you to choose whether to show or not to show sim contacts. You should give it a try.
while in contacts go to the menu button and then filter, it will allow you to choose how you want the contacts to be seen either from the device or sim card.
my problem is +e before country code
how to resolve +e before the number .. m using the same sim in MY p1i there is no "E" but when i placed same sim in X1 it shows "E"

[Q] On my third N1 and still faulty - can't see SIM card

I am now on my third N1 after RMA'ing the first because of pink tinge camera issues and poor wireless performance. The second worked fine for a bit and then began to randomly reboot and lose the network. Often after rebooting it would go into a loop which only a battery removal would fix.
The third unit worke for about 10 minutes and after I managed to get it back to the state I wanted, it lost the SIM card displaying a no SIM card error message. I tried the SIM in other phones and it was fine (T-Mobile SIM) and other working SIMS were not recognised in the phone.
So yet another call to HTC and a request a replacement. I am flying close to the wind here since my warranty expires Jan 7 and there's no guarantee that the next RMA process will be complete by then.
Out of interest, in case it's just a simple SIM contact issue, how does one clean the contacts on the SIM holder in the phone?
if your restoring a back up or an app that could be the issue or a corrupted SD card.
How old is your SIM card? I am not 100% sure but for TMO in NY I had to replace my SIM when I went to a different Sony Ericsson phone, before I got the Xperia. After that my phones worked no problem.
But like the other member mentioned, you could be loading a corrupt system backup. I had a SD card cannot be read because of a bad build.prop I had installed.
It turned out to be a bit less complex than that. The sim was not sitting properly on the contacts but once I jammed a piece of paper on top of it to make it contact better, the phone recognized it. Not sure it this is a good long term solution or should I continue with the RMA process.
Well it's not perfect, but it works, so depends on how much you want the hassle.

I had the same issue... Download an app which can clean any messages from your sim card. If there are no messages to clean, turn off your phone and take out the sim card. Wipe gently and put the sim card back ensuring that it is seated properly. Even a small change in seating the sim card can give you that message , especially if you dropped the phone recently

Same exact problem here.. I'm glad I'm not the only one getting annoyed with the Flippin SIM message. My issues didn't start until I received a new sim card, which was just replaced YESTERDAY! I was received "Network or SIM card error" and then my calls were being fwd to lala land. I'm really getting pissed at this stupid phone..... I want my N:crying:3 back!!!
