Tell us why you want to do that, probably we can get you a definate answer.

You can save contacts by means of backing up your phone, whch can be done with various software which can make an exe into your SD card. This exe can then be used to restore your phone (and contact)

Try Spb Backup, Sprite Backup

If you are trying to... ok, just tell us why you want to do that. I can go on and on and one.

In general, you can't store your contacts on your SD just like that.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] serhataga:
at now my computer doesn't work and i am sitting in a internet cafe, so i can't sync my contacts with my PC. The other problem is, that i will send my prophet in the next days to repair the speaker in it.

have you got an idea how to seve the contacts??
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hanmin:
Get Activesync and download SPB Backup and install on this internet cafe. Use SPB Backup to backup your stuff into your SD card, it ought to backup your contacts as well. Keep the SD card. Once you got your phone back, just execute the EXE file by SPB Backup, it will restore everything of your phone including theme, programs, settings, contacts, calendars.. etc.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mccune:
You can also use the tool I'm gonna post below :)

It saves all your contacts to one file on your SD-Card.

Havn't tried to restore a backup file though..

BTW The file came from some PDAmobiz package.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] serhataga:
hanmin the owner of the internetcafe doesnt allow me to install activesync or anything else.

mccune thank you very much. i'll give a try. thx again.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
Don't bother with all that, I had the same problem in that I had to return my phone.

levenum, offered me the solution

"As for backing up contacts, there is a simple and painless way that doesn't require any installation.

In the built in file explorer select "show all files" option. Then in the root of the device you will see a file named 'pim.vol'. Just copy that to your SD."

If the phone says it can not copy as part of the file is locked, rename it first and then copy it, I don't why you can rename but not copy if it is locked, but it works.

When you transfer it back onto the phone it might not let you overwrite the original saying it is locked again. Just rename and then copy your file to the phone, you will need to soft reboot for the contacts to show.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cidriver:
HAve you got a pendrive with BT? put it on the internet cafe and try to do everything with BT. Not! find a friend with Internet and download Jeyo Mobile, you can make with this tool a backup of your contacts to your sim or from your sim to your device.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] serhataga:
the software that mccune has posted works fine. also the hint of NewSPV is great. ofcourse you can save your contacts to SIM but than you have by one contact if it has more than one number or adress more entries on the SIM of that person instead of one outlook contact.

thank you all for your replies.

problem's solved now :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
I must apologise, I thought that the software from mccune was the terrible one I had that demanded net framework 2.

I have just tried it and it is great. I have had a problem from day one with Outlook and Activesync, in that they would not sync and I kept getting 'Synchronzation Error'.

I just ran this bit of software, and it somehow just fixed my 'Synchronzation Error', all contacts loaded to Outlook.

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] da_mayhem:
Since the file - pim.vol stores the Contacts database which is located at the Root Directory.. Copy it and Save it on your Storage Card using the BUILT IN FILE EXPLORER ( won't work on third party File Explorers like Resco and Total Commander etc.. )

Now you got a backup of your Contacts on your Storage Card, or for security purposes, you may copy them and save it on your PC..

To restore..

Just rename the current pim.vol on the device to any file name ( ex. pim.vol1 or pim.volx ) then copy the pim.vol you have just save to your Storage Card using again the BUILT IN FILE EXPLORER

Reboot device and it is restored. See no ActiveSync involved? :lol:

Goodluck.. and just to make sure, try this before sending your Prophet for repair but i am pretty sure it would work.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dragonedge:
Pim

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that. I do this every so often with my Wizard, works great no extra software needed.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] endolith:
This worked for me, but I have heard that it is not a reliable way to backup if you are going to reflash the device in between backing up and restoring. Can anyone confirm this? I hard reset to get back a blank phone, and then restored this file, and it worked, but I think I need to use a real backup method before reflashing the phone with a newer WM, since pim.vol might be an unrecognized format to the new WM.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] rovdude:
I managed to backup the pim file then put it back into another device got the contacts on it cool. I renamed the original to pin but cannot delete it how can I delete it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] bottles128:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkurrt:
Is there an app like I can install to my root htc android phone so that I can be unblocked from accessing the router? I think our network admin blocked my phones IP address to prevent me from spoofing the network. Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
your network admin probably blocked your MAC address (not IP) or restricted the network access to some MAC address only.

The IP address is assigned to a device by the network (i.e DHCP protocol)

The MAC address is the one specific to your device (hardware related), the one that can be banned from a network. You can spoof your MAC address (unless only specific MAC address are granted by your admin) to connect back to the network. You must spoof the mac before each attempt to connect to the network.

Maybe there is a way to change the MAC permanently, idk

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
USB3 is downwards compatible with USB2. That is not the issue. (The left, smaller side of a USB3 plug is the 3.0 part, the rest is just USB2.)

Most games do not support external keyboards. I ran into this issue on my TF700 all the time, it was a full package where the keyboard was a full part of the tablet, but still the games do not recognise them. You also can't use a mouse as you would on a PCgame, you still need to click and drag to look around.

Problem is the app devs, not the keyboard or the tab.

Now extract CF-Auto-Root-hl3g-hl3gub-smn750.zip file and you will get a CF-Auto-Root-hl3g-hl3gub-smn750.tar.md5 file.

Run Odin3 v3.09.exe as Administrator. Just right click on the file and select Run as administrator.

urn off your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and wait for few seconds to turn it on.

Press and hold Volume down and home buttons for sometime. After 2 seconds press and hold power button too. You will see a warning message. Press Volume UP button to boot in Download mode from where we will flash CF-Auto-Root tool.

Connect your device with USB and wait for a few seconds. In the message box which is in the bottom left, you will see a message Added!! If you didn't get the message, then please install USB Drivers from here.

In the section of AP, just select the CF-Auto-Root-hl3g-hl3gub-smn750.tar.md5 file.

Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only boxes which are selected. If any other box is selected, please un-select it.

Hey XDA,

I'm trying to find information on the One M8's SD Card implementation but couldn't find any forums or sites that have satisfied my answer. I want to know how the Sense version of the M8 utilizes the SD card given that KitKat has really changed how SD cards work with android. I have a GPe S4 4.4.3 where the SD card flat out doesn't work unless I decide to root it and fix it.

Does the Sense version allow users to write to an SD Card?

Can I put apps onto an SD card with the Sense version?

Can I use photo apps to write to the SD Card?

I'm juggling between several phone choices so answers to this topic will really help my decision. Thanks.

All of sudden today, the voice calling service on my phone stopped working.

It gives the BSOD whenever I try to make a phone call...

I was on CM11, then I tried to revert back to stock, but still the same.

Strange thing is that the SMS and mobile data is still working fine.

The phone connects to the network service fine. (I'm on Straight Talk.)

Just can't make or receive any phone call...

I found out that the phone's IMEI shows "0" so thought the issue I had must have something to do with the null IMEI.

Hi,

I have a fido I747m I baught off someone and tried before buying it to see if my rogers and Pc mobile sim works. Did placed call and was ok. After placing a few calls I was having trouble getting them to go through. Only 10-30% of calls go through. I noticed the signal strength is one bar and increase to full when placing the call and if it does quickly the call will go through if there is a delay the call wont go through. Now to receive calls I cant unlesss by chance I have more than one bar when someone is trying to call me so less than 1% of calls I receive. I've wiped and reflashed the fido rom bell rom and the new pc mobile rom the result is the same. Turned on/off airplane mode to get to work for less than a minute. Ive rooted the phone and modified to downgrade to 4.1.2 still no luck. Some people are telling it may have been unlocked badly. What can I do. I want to try to flash EFS but Im seeing I need to jtag which I dont have. Please let me know what I can do or if there is nothing that can be done.

Your NV file might be damaged/corrupted, which seems to be quite frequent with unlocking. You could copy one from another phone with nv-reader-write.

Before going that route though, you can try flashing another modem. I believe the latest one for Canadian users is ND3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blainville10:
That's what I actually did and worked. I didn't even modify the nv file and change the imei on the file. That easy it kept its own imei.

I tried flashing radio before and didn't work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blainville10:
Is it normal I didnt have to change the imei number of the nv file.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Never try to "change" the imei. Unless meeting very specific criteria that is illegal.

Didn't you just say its working now though? Or did I misunderstand? Imo, messing with NV data should always be a last resort. If something goes wrong you can cause irreparable damage to the device. Plus ime, many people find they don't even need to go this route and just flashing the stock firmware often solves the problem.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WillofWillz:
So I've been getting ghost or phantom touches on my phone for the past few weeks. I couldn't figure out what was causing it because I've never dropped my phone and it never got wet. The phantom touches only appears down the right side of the screen in almost a straight line. It doesn't happen all the time and I thought it was random but I got it to occur at a successful rate. If I press down on the top left corner of the screen, it would cause the phantom touches. When I press and hold down the top left corner of the phone, everything is fine and no phantom touches appear. I decided to tighten the screws on the top left and it seems to have made it a little better. I'd have to really tap on the top left of the screen to make the phantom touches appear again and it doesn't occur at a 100% rate but it's still occurs.

Anyone know what is causing this? I thought it would be a broken digitizer but it doesn't make sense that tightening the screws would cause the issue to almost fix itself. Problem with the geomangnet? I'm not sure what that does really.
