All my SIM contacts deleted when I did a ROM upgrade :-( - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Have I lost them all? I really didnt think it would delete them from the SIM?
Strange thing is I had a phone call from someone and their name came up so they must be on somewhere ?

You might install a custom rom and it had a hide sim contacts registry change. So try to find whch registry entry shows and hides sim contacts maybe it helps.

Registry Tweak
Registry Tweak lets you toggle this.

It comes with Xelencin's superb T-Mobile customization.

Ah bugger! I didnt want to play with the registarys incase I broke my phone! I guess Ill have to give it a go...
I installed the latest T-Mobile upgrade...
Is there no way activesync can look into the numbers or anything?

Standard DialSkin

hello, I have a small problem, the past days I have installed a skin dial various from the usuals and hour quualunque skin I try to install leaves the settaggi me of the previous one even if I have already disinstallato that one that gave problem to me!! Exists a way in order to restore the dial skin to that one originates them? Thanks PS: excuseme for my bad english !!
Hi, yes it is a bit hard to understand you, but I guess first off, what device do you have? if its a TyTN you can find the green dialer on the forum by searching "green dialer" or "tytn dialer" without the quotes.
Also when you try to uninstall the dialers you tried, what happens? does it not change at all, or does it become messed up..missing images etc?
hello, my device is a TyTN. has installed the DialSkin with granti keys Seen Windows type and has lost the functionalities to recall the last calls and the fast calls with the rotellina on the left of the Tytn. If disinstallo the Seen DialSkin Style and installs other Skin as an example these (http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GL_Display.asp?SEC=3&EntryID=477) the push-buttons is all messed and with dimensions not corrected. Sorry for my English I hope you you succeed to understand
Hi again, did you install the dialer skin to your device, and not on your storage card?
I have used the red reptile skin from there before with no problems, but something definitely messed up the registry settings, not sure if the uninstall failed or what, did you power off our device, and power it back on after uninstalling the skin?
I can't be of a whole lot of help, only 4 things I can recommend you try.
1. find the green tytn dialer on the forum, install it, and it should set the registry back if the settings are included in the cab.
2. get someone with an oem tytn rom to export their dialer registry, and import it to your device.
3. Unlock your extended rom with htc tweak, and rerun the customization cabs from there again, it should just overwrite, and not create duplicates.
4. hard reset.
I could take apart one of the skin cabs you installed to see what all has been changed if you want to upload it.
All of the standard/default images should still be on your device, the only thing that could be messed up really is the registry, and possibly the phcanhtc.dll
Here's the link to the green oem dialer, might give it a try.

hello, I have sovrascritto the DLL with that one originates them, hour watching in the system registry I have noticed that the keys associated to the images bring back the names of the skin do not originate them. You have said (2, get to me someone with an oem tytn rom to export their dialer registry, and import it to your device.) that a way exists in order to export the keys from a registry of one rom and to import them in my TyTN without to rewrite them all. You can dirmi as I must make?
In Attach the skin of my problem !!
Thank you
I have resolved the problem with Hard Reset the modifications brought from that one skin they were too many and they rendered the modification of many keys of the registry neccessario. A council. for how much beautiful one avoided to install it!!

Brand New Wing out of box, whats next?

OK. So I've had my Wing for a week now, it's not unlocked like it said it was on the ebay auction... I'm still waiting to get an unlock code. Apparently my imei was not in t-mobile database, so the unlocker has to get the unlock code from HTC in Taiwan. Anyways, I wanted to know how I would go abouts installing any touch roms. I'm very new to the scene, I know how to soft and hard reset, but if I ever bricked my phone I think I'd lose it and freak out. If anyone has any step by step tips please let me know.
Ps. I dont think my Wing is CID unlocked.. but I could be wrong. Thanks!
There are a couple of Rom's in development at the moment, being made specifically for the wing, but they haven't been perfected... so if you don't have alot of experience with flashing rom's, I would wait until people get them to work flawlessly before you start trying to install them.
Take a look at the HERALD WIKI page to learn more about your device.

TOUCH-IT WING ROM (in development)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332075
Duprade, quick question if you don't mind.
When you put on a new rom (like say...the wing touch it that's being worked on)....
1)Do you have to reinstall all programs you already have on there? And do you have to transfer any contacts you have through outlook over to sim to avoid delete?
2)Do you have to re-do the pagepool fix? I actually did the "Clear Storage" option the other night when I couldn't figure out how to remove something, and I have no idea if it undid the pagepool fix. I installed everything I had again, and am tempted to try the fix again to make sure it's on there, incase the clear storage got rid of it. But I'm not sure if it's gonna delete all my crap if I do that, and also if it might hurt something if it's already done.
PS..I tried installing the minimo which you mentioned in another thread (I love mozilla products), but it wasn't working. Maybe I got the wrong version? It'd show the splash screen, with a loading bar underneath that would fill to about 80% then stop. It also drained my memory down to ridiculous levels (like 0.3 when I quit it).
1. yes. If your contacts are already on sim, whatever good for you, but NEW contacts default to phone, so transfer any contacts that you got after your last hard reset to your sim before hard resetting.
2. Yep. After you install the pagepool fix, you soft reset. Soft resetting retains data.
Don't use minimo. It's terrible. Mini Opera. Or Full opera, but its payware

Well that's annoying, because if you have someone under multiple numbers, then it seperates them with a /m, /h, /w...etc. Also, after you transfer them back to phone, it keeps the sim ones in contacts, so you have duplicates. I tried deleting all of the sim ones again through sim manager, but they pop right back up. Only way that seemed to work was just now when I went in and one by one permanently deleted them from sim (until next time I change things, of course )
2. Yep. After you install the pagepool fix, you soft reset. Soft resetting retains data.
Ok. So after I install the new touch-it (once it works), I do that. Good.
Did the "clear storage" also undo my pagepool? Should I re-do it now? And when you say soft resetting retains data...does that mean if I re-do it now I won't lose all of the stuff I've put on again? Or will the pagepool clear me out?
Don't use minimo. It's terrible. Mini Opera. Or Full opera, but its payware
I'm tempted. Tabbed browsing is key...IE sucks as far as that. Don't know any other advantages/disadvantages as far as mobile versions..this is my first smartphone.

Thanks alot for your response.
PS....this being my first smartphone, I absolutely love it. Also love that there are many people that mod and help make it better. Now if only I could figure out the damn thing about myfaves not showing in my call history and for missed calls...
1. If you use a third party contact manager (PocketCM?) only phone contacts will show. Dunno why, i guess we havent quite mastered sim access
2. yep. reapply, soft reset. no data loss.
full opera has tabbed browsing. go buy it. well worth it

Thanks. I will have to take a look at that PocketCM. I thought the contacts were fine the way they were, though I was looking at adding that ipod style scrolling. Is pocketCM better than the default contact manager?
I re-did the pagepool thing as well, just to be sure.
As far as opera..how much does it cost? And where do I go to make sure I get the right version? I'd definitely be interested in it.
Thanks for the links. EDIT - Mines unlocked!!! I'm happy as hell. Im selling my Siemens SK65 on ebay now. =)))

Caller ID not working

I swear that my caller ID used to work on my Verizon XV6800 when I first got the phone about a week ago. Then I started installing apps and messing with HTC plugins and now I cant seem to get any of my contacts to show up when a call is made. I know the phone is able to differentiate between contacts, because the ringers are different per contact, but not every contact has a unique ring.
I have installed:
HTC Home
HTC Audio manager
HTC Tray App
HTC Album
HTC Home Customizer from emunutz
PocketCM Contact Manager
Various SPB apps
I havent listed the SPB apps, because Caller ID was working after those programs were added and only seemed to stop after I installed the HTC stuff. Does anyone know if any of the above programs would interfere with the caller id functions? I cannot seem to find any setting in any of the programs that turns CID on/off. I have tried to edit the registry CallIDMatch DWORD value, to no avail. I am at a loss here, and I really dont want to have to reset the phone to get this to work again. Please help if you can. Thanks!

Did you find a solution to this? I'm havimg the same problem too. I installed the latest ROM for Titan and I don't get call ID either.
It works now after a complete wipe and reinstall of all the software. I havent gone as far as to put a different ROM on it yet, though I want to enable the GPS. It must have been some weird random thing that occured during a software install or something, because it works perfectly now. Sorry I cant be of more definitive help.

Had no caller id on xv6800 on VZW after upgrading from stock to dcd 3.2.6 (and having VZW re-authorize). After many soft / hard resets, reinstall verizon cab, many *228 #1, *228 #2, reinstalled all three roms (tried just dcd 3.2.6, didn't work). Nervously (had 3.2.6 still installed, didn't want to flash back to VZW stock ROMS) called VZW to ask them to "check" caller id... it was "on", but nice lady unchecked it (said VZW would mail letter since I discontinued caller id service) and rechecked it... no *228 or anything... NOW it works just fine! 20 hours of google/ registry / software fiddling (I HAD the GPS working great), and "the authorization sometimes messes that up." !!!

Hide Sim contacts from contacts list

Hello, Is there a mode to hide the Sim contacts from contacts list?
I try with HDTweaks and skTools but after reset or turn off the device the sim contacts turn on again.
Thanks
For me HDTweak works just fine, and the SIM contacts stay hidden. You will have to wait for a longer time before soft-resetting the device, probably.
Yes but I must change the battery often....isn't there any other definitive solution?
I think it doesn't matter if you have changed the registry it should get stored. But, to be honest, I haven't pulled out my battery yet.
no..in hdTweaks there is written...This change restore to default after soft reset"
But I don't understand because!??!

Try out MY (FU johnpatcher) KaiserSimFix listed in my signature. It works after soft-reset.
You don't need a mod, just open your contact list and look for an option called VIEW. Choose which lists you want to view and close.

There's no technology difference between KaiserSimFix and the rhilh... since the same registry entry is edited.
Would be nice if somebody could definitely state if KaiserSimFix didn't work by checking the registry entry after soft-reset.
USING NORMAL ROM ,
sim contacts will get reset to VIEW after soft boot

Intresting sms issue

Strange SMS.exe
Right i need a hand from one of you clever folks.
Basically the whole ability to view/send/edit any form of messaging has disappeared, every single link in all of my panels or apps where im usually able to enter the messaging application are dead...i mean there there but when i click them nothing happens....
even when i go in through the start menu etc i wont work...
now i know i can hard reset and start again but id rather not ....just got my setup how i like it.... so if possible need a soloution.
was wondering is there a sms.exe or a messaging cab or something that i can reload from the directory? if so where is it cos i cant find anything like tht when i look via file explorerr....i guess im hoping i can just reinstal the cab and it will all be fine.
thank you for any help.

So maybe your SIM is broken?
Have you tried another SIM card in the xperia?
Hm...but messages aren't stored on the SIM card anymore -they are all in the phone's memory.
I would suggest trying another SIM card.
If this does not help and noone else has an answer, a hardreset would be the best way.
arrgghh
so tried another sim in fone and that dosnt work either...so whatever it is its on the fone and the sim card!
Well I had a similar issue...I would often have to restart the phone in order to get the messaging icons working. The problem was the message delivery report...i just disabled this with xperia tweak. Although it sounds as though your issue could perhaps be a little more complex.
