Hi,
on a WM Smartphone you can hide the SIM contacts by going to Start/Settings/Phone/Call Options and unticking the "Show SIM contacts" box.
Is there a simular setting on WM5 pocketPC?
Or maybe a registry that handles that?
nobody knows?
Yes, and here's the cab file from the T-Mob ext rom to do it for you.
Hope it helps, don't know if it needs to be run after a hard reset or if it will work anytime for this.
Joe
Thanks a lot. It works!
And just for the curious: the important option in the .cab is one registry key:
Under HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone add a new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0. No need to soft reset the contacts will be hidden when you next open the contacts window.
BTW:
this registry setting does not affect the "Smart Dialing" list direct. But if you first start the contacts application before starting the phone app for the first time after a soft reset, the sim contacts will also be hidden in the smart dialing list.
I hope this helps everyone who keeps contacts on his sim card but doesnot wont to see dublicates after importing contacts.
Which cab file is it in the t-mobile extended rom?

is it only me???
.... is there a solution yet???
same problem
I have the same problem.
In Portugal, we call people by first name/last name.
Anybody knows how to fix it?

I don't know what smart dialing you ppl are talking about but on my exec if i seach by name in contacts it gives both results - by first as well as last name.
If I use the keypad to key numbers in the dial mode then it searchs by number, firstname and lastname. So whats the issue about? Also the list of people is displayed wherein the matches for the firstname are displayed first and then the lastname. Yes the names are displayed in lastname-firstname format but that doesn't really make a difference does it? (the names are highlighted to the last character keyed in)
The only way to change the order from Last, First to First Last is via desktop Outlook. Go into Tools > Options > Contact Options and change the "Default Full Name order" and "Default File As order" options to what you wish.
However, the only way to change the existing contacts is to go into each within desktop Outlook and change the File As option.
Cheers
Ant
but isn't there a way or a registry hack to change the display to FirstName/LastName in smart dialing?

HI
I wanted to find out how can i create a .cab that i can use to do a total customisation to my requirements.
for example,
1.assign a specific number to emergency numbers and make it show the text label EMERGENCY when u call that number.
2.loading all my connection configurations for GPRS and WAP.
3. customising the MMS settings to my specific setting.
4. loading my personal today screen
5. setting the voice mail number to a specific number.
also can you tell me how to edit an existing .cab file ?
Regards
reo
Don´t think, that a cab file is required. Should be possible to do all this by exportinmg/inserting some strings to the registry.....
Regards
Stefan
hi
ok so any ideas how and where in the registry can i adjust these strings.

No. I do not know. easiest way is doing a hard reset to get a clean device, install ssnap to make a snapshot of your device. Then you make all your settings and do a second snapshot.
After comparing those two snapshots, you got the differences and what to enter in the registry....

I just bought Xda neo and I copied every contacts from my SIM card to the device. The problem is, after that, when I click "contact" it will show both the copied contacts and the one in my SIM card, which both are the same!!! Anyone have the idea of how to make all of the contacts shown to be from my SIM card disappear?
Thanks a lot
Under HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone add a new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0. No need to soft reset the contacts will be hidden when you next open the contacts window.
This was found using a search.
A very handy tool, search.
Thank you very much, I did it already and it works!!!

Use the search option in this forum or use SK tools. You can change this in the registry
Thanks For that I found the answer here

I searched everywhere to find a solution to disable bubble notifications when an incoming call comes but I found nothing else than same question but no answer

I know that some people here made an Apple like incoming call software to show a big photo of dialer... can you please help me to find a solution ?

All I need is a clue
Thanks for all

This is still one of those things i hate on WM!
Here old one here!
"You will need a registry editor to change disable the notification. Download one free at www.phm.lu. You do this at your own risk.
Open the editor and go to HKey_Local_User\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings. Click Menu - New Dword value. Set value name to SMSNoSentMsg and value data to 1.
Restart your device."

Thanks for your trick but this is not what we are looking for. Me (and I think the two others) want to disable incoming call and sms notification. And that's not possible to disable them with the registry

You can change that easy, just the incomming call have not that option there. Go to start/settings/sounds & Notifications, There choose notifications and you can set there -> display message on screen
