I recently broke the screen on my nokia 5000. I don't care about the rest, I just need to be copy my girlfriend's number over from my phone onto my sim card.
I can get to her name in the contacts menu, as I've managed to call her with the screen broken, but am not sure how to do anything from there.
I have a Nokia 5000 that I bought and used in China for a couple years with no problems and now I am back in the U.S.
I have since signed up for AT&T with an iPhone but had a free card for T Mobile prepaid I would like to add to this phone.
I called today and gave them the activation, sim #, IMEI #, etc. and everything went well BUT the cell phone does NOT see the network. I can't make any calls and when calling my new number from another phone it goes straight to voicemail.
Does T Mobile require a special phone to use their prepaid service? I was under the impression that you could use any phone. Also I was under the impression that this phone is NOT locked because in China 99% of people DON'T use contracts but rather just buy prepaid minutes anywhere you go. And this is exactly what I did - just add minutes every few months.
I also thought that if your phone is locked when you put in a SIM card it will basically not let you access the phone. Mine does not do this. I can still access all features. It's just that there is no service.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this situation? I am definitely not that educated on cell phones, unlocked, hacking them, etc and this phone is not worth my time going to too much trouble. But if it's at all possible, I would like to get this to work as a backup.
I have some SMS's that I want to keep as they are sentimental (very) and I don't know how to transfer them onto a PC, I know the Nokia 500-d has Bluetooth but I do not believe there is a USB cable available for this model
I have saved the SMS's that were originally in the inbox to a separate folder in saved items, but there is no option to do anything with these, to transfer etc.. I really really do not want to lose these messages, there must be some way to save them. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!!!
I have a Nokia 5000, bought 3 years ago. I can connect the phone to Nokia Suite via Bluetooth. However there is no way to backup my messages, neither via synchronize (fails with explicit error message) nor via the backup utility (spends a lot of time apparently downloading messages, and then they are not present in the .nbu backup file, as can be clearly seen by the small size of the file - I have more than 4000 messages and the file is only 300 kB with the contacts).Is there a way to download my messages?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have dropped my N95 and the screen has broken, the thing is all my contacts are saved to the phone and not the sim, so if somebody could post up the exact instructions on how to copy my contact from phone to sim then i can follow them and move all my contacts blind folded so to speak.

I urgently need to rescue my contacts from that phone, unfortunately I havent set up live account in the beginning so I dont have them online. How can I get my contacts to my computer, etc without being able to see what phone is doing ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have had an X6 for about a month now, and the slider keyguard on the phone had broken off. The phone is now in a permanent state of saying 'use keyguard to unlock keys and screen'. Obviously I cant because it doesn't work!!
I have tried leaving it switched off for 15 mins, and restating it. This lets me restart the time and date but then locks once the phone opens up. I have tried a drawing pin and paper clip to slide the keyguard without the keyguard but to no avail.
tried installing the ms apps using a third party app since i saw it worked on other people's phones and i thought i would give it a shot i was wrong for about 3-4 days i've been scouring the internet trying to find a solution to the Home screen:feature not supported bug or whatever it is, but to no avail. I am starting to become a bit desperate as the gallery simply will not work no matter what i do, .jpgs wont open, and my phone has been handicapped in the most literal sense of the word. Also i've tried hard resetting twice but to no result. I've considered hacking the phone and installing a custom firmware but i didnt want to destroy the phone completely, and also waiting for the feature pack might take too long for me.

I broke my Samsung S3 screen. I purchased it outright from Telus last week. Its just the glass and it is still working. I had insurance on it so probably it will cover it. They need repair estimate. Called Samsung and they only have one 3rd party repair shop in Montreal. So I have to ship it to them,and then wait for 2 weeks to get an estimate. Telus said, it takes 2-6 weeks for the process.I am going out of the country in 3 weeks or less and wanted to get a better timing.

Anyway, they both ended up falling out. Now it just has this final "screen" like thing, which is just a white light. What is this? What parts would I need to repair the iphone, given what I have now?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI dropped my phone and cracked the screen and now the screen is all black. I went through insurance and received my new phone. I've deactivated the old phone and activated my new phone. I've been reading other responses for a similar problem but it seems like most of them have not activated the new phone yet and were able to wipe the phone using the Android Device Manager. Since I've already activated my new phone, if I use ADM it finds my new phone and not my old phone.
Is there a way to wipe the data off of the old phone with a broken screen after I've already activated my new phone?
