Right im having so many problems with the contacts app built in. I have a couple of questions hope you can help.
1) It picks up my sim contacts but can i order them (First name last Name) instead of (Last name first name)
2) If i go too sim manager and copy the sim contacts to phone, when i go to contacts app it shows the name on the sim and then the same name on the phone so it duplicates them. Is their any way to just show the phone contacts not the sim.
For your info im using the Rom from PDamobiz.com the aku3.3 one. If this cant be done can anyone suggest a useful 3rd Party app. Thanks alot.

im using a 8125, and trying to save all the contacts within my phone memory (or on my computer in outlook) to my sim card so when i switch to using my NON-PPC phone all my contacts will be there.
i cant even find a way to copy one-by-one let alone the entire address book.
ANYONE have the answer to this ?
i kno i kno, the sim only holds a name with 1 number thats all i want and need.
PLEASE HELP...
Can someone answer this
I did a search because I now want to do this and this was the only useful post....too bad no one responded! THANKS!
Hmmm... don't switch.
Hi all

Thanks

Double, triple contacts are caused by outlook.In sinchronizations settings on PC u have to make update items on pc, not pda.Something like that. I dont use that by myself. Hope u will fix it.
U can use schaps for sim contacts.
Use the SIM Manager that is in Programs (can also be accessed from within Contacts). That should allow you to delete contacts from the SIM card quickly.
Thanks
Used shcapps tool to get rid of them

Hello all, I just received my X1, and I am loving it! Great way to start off the new year! However my contact list looks funny...Is there any way to change my contact list? For some reason after every name is a /1 or /2. I am getting my contacts through my sim, is there a way to remove the /1 or /2, or would I have to go through every list and take it off?
try copying your contacts on to your phone to see whether that resolves it. Some phones (my old sony ericsson phone used to) stores primary, duplicate, mobile, work numbers etc. with backslashes.
Yea mine was like that too. I didnt want to change it manually so I just beamed them from my old phone one by one :|
I know what you would've done... You previously had a SE phone in which you had stored contacts with various numbers Home number, work number etc...
Then you copied them onto your sim, before putting in the sim to the X1.
Now this is the way SE stores them on the sim...
great...no way to fix this all together? lol yeahh i had a k810i, which i don't find to be too old of a phone...i tried exporting from the sim to the phone too, didn't change anything though. Is there a way to export your contact list to the computer? I could just write up a quick c++ program to take in the list and remove all slashes and everything after that.
I wanna export my contact list into my comp
Im having problems finding for my contacts on the phone because of the overlapping of names with /1 /2 sort of titles... but before i do any changes and arrange the contacts, i wanna save them into a list on my computer. but it doesnt show on the microsoft office outlook contact list ?? help me~!
totally new to pocket pc here... please help!
greatly appreciated.
W810i to Xperia
Yea similar thing happened to me. I have a w810i and i saved all my contacts to the sim, and tried to copy them into my Xperia. The contacts were saved like
last name; firstname /m (mobile)
last name; firstname /h (home)
So what i did was I put the SIM back in my w810i and sent the contacts via bluetooth. You don't need a sim to power on the Xperia. However, i was unable to get "Send all contacts" to work. So i had to send one at a time!, it was a pain, but at least it's better than trying to removed the /m /h and consolidate the numbers into one contact.
Hope this helps!
I just corrected all contract one by one... the problem is the difference between a mobile phoen and a smart phone...
Heya,
I just got an HTC HD.
I copied my contacts from my old phone to the SIM card.
Entered the SIM card to the HTC HD.
To enter e-mail adresses, photos, ringtones etc, the contacts have to be copied on to the HTC HD.
So I copied them all.
But now they are showing all double in my adresbook. It displays the contacts that are on the SIM card and the contacts that are on the phone.
Is there a way to filter the contacts off my screen without deleting them from the SIM card?
Thanks in advance.

Different ways to get around this.
1. Go to contacts/menu/view and then select either sim or contacts
2. Install 3rd party apps like Advanced Config or HDTweak where you can disable or enable the display or sim contacts
EDIT 1
I have attached both of these for you. Maybe worth installing anyway as they have numerous other tweaks which are very useful
EDIT 2
Also, maybe worth reading the wiki...........lots of useful information
thanx
good information

Are your duplicate contacts through another mail provider, i.e. hotmail?
If through Hotmail you maybe getting duplicate contacts when you sync hotmail through windows live. Go to Windows Live and change your setup so contacts are merged instead of duplicated.
Hi guys, I recently reinstalled windows from 7 to 7.5 but I lost all the contacts which I added onto my phone since I was on 7. There was no options that I saw to "save to sim card or save to phone" like most other phones out there so I dont know where they are saved.. I had a brain wave about the fact that the contacts were "linked" with my email account but there is only the emails saved. I am wondering if the numbers are saved somewhere or, each time I have to reinstall I will have to ask fro their numbers every time? Has anyone else had this happen?
Please let me know as I really want to update my rom and radio for better battery life!
Many thanks,
Marc
you cant save contacts to SIM card.. not compatible... phone automatically save contacts to your Live account (and you never loose contacts if you not loose your login data ) this is only if you login to Live account with your phone (and also live activation code entered)
you can access online to your account contact list via
http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts
ahh yes, i see it now, so then I can export the whole list as a .csv file too. Now I sign in on my phone and can add it to the phone directory? Sorry if its nooby but I cant seem to access anything like that through the dedicated email app? Juat on internet explorer?
Marc
if you have mails in contacts list, you simply use mail app
and again, all is simple... you thinking too much simple: add Live account to phone and all is solved... all your contacts be saved and you not loose it and you use this contacts with phone or computer...
i give you this link http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts to access it via computer (if you need to change contacts very easy if need it), not with WP7...
pda v8 has this function build-in
