I was just wondering...when i receive phone calls, the name that is displayed is the name that is in the SIM card for example: Name /M or Name /H. Is their any way that i can just have the contact name that are on the PHONE show up when I get a call, instead of the SIM card contact name?

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've just bought myself a shiney new Xda2, but when I put in my SIM card, I cannot access my phonebook & sms messages stored on it. Strangely though, when a number in the phonebook calls me, the Xda2 manages to access my phonebook & tells me who is calling. Any clues on how I can recover my phonebook & text messages?
use the sim manger not sure if it works havent got any numbers on my sim card but its there
Yes, use sim manager, then click and hold stylus over required number and choose save to contacts, if you want them all saved to contacts then choose select all then save to contacts. I have no idea about the sms messages.
Thanks for the assistance. ^_^ I can get by without the text messages. I believe they were stored on my old phone itself, rather than the SIM card, so no transferring them. :/
I can't see the contact picture in the text message. I was able to see it but now it shows the sim card symbol.
try saving your contacts to your phone and not your simcard this should fix the problem, simcard has limited space and cannot store a photo for your contacts
I have a big problem with my hd2, because it is handling the sms and phone numbers wrong:
If I place my Countrycode in front of my numbers the contacts getting found in the sms (Someone writes a sms of the number with countrycode and I get the name above his sms). If I get called by the person, it only shows his number.
But If I place a "0" in front of his number, without the countrycode, in the sms tab only his number is visible, without his name, BUT I recieve his name when he calls me?!
Anyone knows how to fix?

Do you have duplicate contacts? One on phone and one on SIM card?
I only have contacts on my phone...
Hello there,
I am facing a strange issue in my nexus 4. Its related to SMS that i receive. Issue is all the message i receive gets save in internal memory,but messages from one particular contact is getting saved in SIM MEMORY every time, which is eating up sim memory and once SIM memory is full i phone asks me to delete sim message to recieve another message. And ITS HAPPENING WITH ONLY ONE CONTACT NOT WITH ALL CONTACTS IN MY PHONEBOOK.
Kindly help. Waiting for suggestions.
Thanks
Have you looked in the settings of the messaging app? There's an option to Manage SIM card messages under Text (SMS) messages.
Yes that setting only shows the SMS present in SIM. So whenever i receive any SMS from that contact it goes to SIM and I go to MANAGE SIM CARD MESSAGE setting and delete all the SMS. And again if I receive SMS from contact it goes and stors again in SIM.
I even deleted all SMS and even that contact and its call history, but again its getting saved in SIM for that particular contact. For rest its storing in internal memory.
