Is there any way of saving numbers stored in the phonebook to the sim on an XDA2?
Don't know if there is a way to copy your entire contacts in one move to the SIM. If possible most SIM can store a limited number of contacts.
But it is possible to copy contacts one by one to the SIM. Maybe you knew this allready. If not this is how:
Tap to a contact an hold until a menu appears. Choose Save To SIM an a copy of the contact is saved to the SIM.
Cheers,

You can also copy multiple contacts onto your SIM by selecting the desired (or all) contacts and then tapping Tools -> Save to SIM.
I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but when I install custom dial pad skin my smart dialing starts showing sim contacts, the default smart dialing doesn't show the sim contacts (I edited the registry to hide sim contacts from showing contacts list)
Is there any resolution so custom skins do not show sim contacts when smart-dialing?
thanks

hi
When copying my SIM contacts to phone there is a small problem, when sending a sms I see duplicates... why? how can that be fixed? I know I can choose not to show SIM contacts with Advanced Config but that is not the problem...
"xperia tweak" has an option to hide all the sim contacts. then you shouldnt see any duplicates.
Hi!
My Hero doesn't import all SIM contacts.
"People" is open, inside are only SIM contacts. I'm pressing "Menu" and "Import", selecting "Phone" as contact type and pressing "OK".
It shows progress bar, but it ends during importing. I have 98 SIM contacts, but only 59 on them were imported to phone. No error message.
Any suggestions? Can you confirm it?
My HTC Hero runs the new official ROM.
Hi, when you press phone to open your contacts, you get the Phone contacts AND the Sim contacts, how do you filter just one or the other.?
I like to keep a backup copy of my contacts on the sim, not just the phone, but i now get 2 enetries for each contact?
Go to People tab > All people > Menu > View and choose contacts or sim.
Yeah that i worked out, but when you press the phone button, it still shows phone contacts AND SIM untill you press the all people button????
why???
I don't know why. I never even noticed that.
Not only that it shows all the emails too, i also deleted them all, and 10 mins later they are back??
Weird phone man...
yes. same problem here.
I select to filter sim contacts. close it. even restart but it still shows both sim contacts and phone contacts.
thanks.
is only way keeping sim card empty?
any ideas?
Use a registry editor and do this tweak:
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSIM = 0 (DWORD; default is 1)
That hides the SIM contacts in the dialer only. They still show up in e-mail and sms screens, but at least it's not in the dialer any more!
that works.
thank you.
