Hi,
I've transferred all my contacts on my SIM into pOutlook contacts. The direct consequence of this is redundant entry when i use the smart dialing. To avoid this, i'm looking for a way to disable the SIM phone list access. Disable doesn't mean deleting all entry on my SIM because i switch my SIM regularly from one phone to another so i need to keep them on the SIM.
Anyone has got an idea ?
regards
Cedric
I have one question. If I copy contact from phone to SIM card then I see names from phon and names from SIM card together. I don't like to see in that way but I also want to have backup of contact on my SIM card.
Could someone help me?
Bye
Borut
hi borut
download and install TrinityHacks
launch it
go to Phone tab
tick 'Hide Sim Contacts'
close TrinityHacks
you may/may not need to soft-reset before it takes effect
i was directed by another user to come here and ask this question...
i put my contacts on my phone.. and now they show up twice. once for the phone, and once for the sim card. and if i try to erase the sim one, it wants to permantly delete it from my sim card. and havin it on there twice is just pointless.. but i cant save email adresses or nothin with just the sim one..
so my question is.. can i hide the sim application numbers, so that all that shows is the contacts that are saved only on the phone..?..
if anyone can help.. id apericate it.. thanks..
After flashing new roms to my wing, a few times my contacts have duplicated themselves. I just select all "contacts" and delete from the phone. Then move to sim manager and select all and "save to contacts." It clears out all the duplicated "phone" contacts, and resaves from the sim. Any phone contacts you haven't backed up to your simcard will be lost, though, so check that your sim is up to date.

Hi there.
I don't understand this.
I have a lot of stored SMS in my Leo. When I browse them, the name of the person which is displayed is always the name stored in the the SIM contact, and not in the Device Contacts.
To make it easier, just an example:
In my SIM device I have this contact: Julian Oppenh?
In my device I also have this contact: Julian Oppenheimer (Shop)
If he sends me an SMS, it always shows "Julian Oppenh?"
If I remove this contact from my SIM card, then the name will be properly displayed ["Julian Oppenheimer (Shop)"]...but I don't like the idea of removing it from my SIM card!
If I receive an SMS from someone who exists in my device contacts but not in my SIM card directory, then the name is displayed as it should (obviously).
Anyone else had this issue? Hox can this be fixed? Is there a way to tell my Leo that information in device must prevail over information in SIM card?
Thanks in advance.
No one else has this problem??
I don't use SIM contacts ever, just sync your phone to your PC and delete the SIM contacts as they're backed up - end of issue
I found a way to solve this issue. I'll leave the method here just in case someone else has this problem.
I removed the SIM card, backed up my contacts & messages with PIMBackup, inserted the SIM card again, restored copy with PIMBackup and voila!
EddyOS, thanks for the tip, but the thing is that I wanted to keep these contacts in my SIM card, you never know.
Cheers,
Hope you all would have used "Automatic SIM Selection" or "Remember SIM for a number" features in dual SIM Moto G (XT1033).
When "Automatic SIM Selection" is enabled, the phone will learn from pattern of use and automatically selects that as a preferred SIM when calling that contact.
"Remember SIM for a number" is available when you set “Ask every time I make a call” option in “Dual SIM settings->Call settings->Making calls”.
Once these are set, the dialer no longer asks for SIM for some contacts that have their preferences set. But you can always force a SIM for all calls by selecting a SIM as default in call settings.
The SIM preferences for a contact can be changed either by:
Tapping “Change SIM” during call. While this is the only option for unsaved numbers.
By opening contacts application and manually changing for each of the contacts by long holding the contact number
Though these are useful features, it can sometimes be frustrating if you dial a contact/number with wrong SIM (when rate cutter gets over in the SIM you have selected as default ).
You have to keep changing SIM for each and every contact/number for which you have given “remember SIM” or a SIM set automatically by the phone.
I was very much annoyed when I accidentally gave “Remember SIM” for an USSD code (the pop up dialogue to select SIM no longer appears). The code wasn’t saved on the phone or I didn’t get any calling screen (to tap change SIM) to change the SIM while dialing. The only option I had was to change the SIM in SIM settings whenever I wanted to dial that USSD code.
I tried clearing data of dialer/phone apps in settings, but of no use.. then I saw an built-in app called “Automatic SIM selection” (in Android 4.4.4, in older android versions - 'Smart Sim') under “ALL” category in settings->apps. Clearing data of this app deletes all the SIM preferences in one shot for all the contacts (even for unsaved numbers/USSD codes).
I googled a lot to find where these preferences are stored and how to clear them, but I wasn’t able to find. So I wanted to share this with you all.
Please click thanks if you find it helpful or share your ideas how you manage your dual SIM settings. Always happy to learn and help!
Mods, please delete/move this thread if this information is redundant/irrelevant.
Very well documented thank you for the clear cut points and procedure

Thanks Man!!!! Awesome!!!
Not working with CyanogenMod resurrection remix rom
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app
I found a way to remove remember sim on USSD code on my Moto G
Just add a new contact with number is the USSD code you are using (include special characters e.g. *, #). Then go to the new added contact, tap and hold the number then choose 'Clear default calling SIM'.

I believe this information is relatable to the successors of the Moto G too since the feature has been integral to the entire device line. I have a Moto G Turbo Edition from last year currently running Android 6.0.1 stock OS. The issue is that even after clearing the data of the Automatic Sim Selection app, it doesn't make a difference. Neither does it remember "smartly" which SIM to use nor does it allow me to force a particular SIM as the preferred SIM for calling. Which means no matter what I do, I always get a prompt to choose between the two SIMS and that's very annoying. What do I do?
is this applicable only to the stock ROM. cant find either 'Automatic SIM selection' or 'Smart Sim' in CM
Automatic SIM selection is not part of most custom ROMs i've tried. but wierdly enough, i can't select SIM for all landline calls i make. i just thought this might fix that.
ok, this may be irrelevant but I need "always ask" feature both for call and sending sms. but for sending sms this feature does not working on every custom MM 6.0 rom. only ID6 and CM13 has this function working. anyone here, knows any cause behind that?
Is it possibile to extract the apk from the stock rom and try to install into a custom rom ?

it is possible, provided that the system app/apk you are referring to does not depend on external components/libraries which are part of the stock ROM and not part of any custom ROMs.
