Hide Sim contacts but still issue when recieving calls

So after upgrading to the cingular 2.06 rom, all the sim contacts were mixed up with my phone contacts and ofcourse there were many duplicates. So i changed [HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\ShowSIM] From 1 to 0 and now my SIM contacts aren't showing up, which is good.
BUT now when i recieve a call, say from John Smith, instead of showing me what i have saved on the device's contacts "Call From John Smith" its showing me what i have it saved on the SIM card, "JohnSmith TX" and i can't figure out how to solve it. I guess i could delete all my sim contacts but they're on my sim for backup.
Anyone know how to solve this?

Sim Card Contacts

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

Why was the option under settings removed in WM5.
Reg change fixed it

Nothing to thank for. In fact most people are angry if they are told they should use the search function. Great u used it and found what you needed.
Have fun and enjoy!

I changed the ShowSIM (0), but when incoming call my phone show the contact from SIM.
By Phone:
NAME - two numbers (mobile and home)
BY SIM:
NAME1 - mobile
NAME2 - home
When incoming call my phone show NAME2.
WHY?

Inesoft address book

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?

contacts management problems

hello, i'm confused as how to update a contact's phone number. i'd mainly like to update in both contacts and sim card. for example, John Smith changed his phone number and kept his email the same. i wish to update in the sim as well as automatically update in the contacts without manually going in and updating the contacts. so in the end i have to edit both sim entry and contact entry.
secondly i'm having problems with contacts switching from windows mobile2003. John Smith shows up in my contacts list as Smith,John so i can't search for him in the contacts list. i have to manually search for him in order to update his new phone number. any suggestions?
thirdly i can't create a new contact after i've added a new sim entry through contacts. it seems i have to load the Sim Manager application and wait while it loads sim entries in order to "Copy to Contacts"
any help would be greatly appreciated so i can streamline my work.
running: wizard (8125) with OEM rom

no solutions?

no one has a solution?

It's not possible to simultaneously update the contact's phone number in memory and in a SIM card, as far as I know. Shubaroo (see below) has a SIM manager that might make it a little easier on you.
Most people either use memory only (because they only have one phone and don't really care, like myself), or they use SIM only (because they change phones based on activity, like some people change shoes).

Wizards run Windows Mobile 5, not Windows Mobile 2003, so I don't know what else to say about that. Not sure what you're even asking, honestly.
As far as last, first vs. first last, I recommend "ContactFix" from www.shubaroo.com which is designed exactly to fix this.

Yep. See my comments above. One, or the other. That's your choice, but you don't get both, AFAIK.
One last bit of advice: Ask ONE question at a time, and you're far more likely to get a response. It took me nearly half an hour to sift through this mess to form cogent answers. Most people won't bother.

save to contact list, but directs me to wrong contact list

Someone called me, and I didn't have that number, I wanted to save it to existing contact, but when I clicked on save to existing contact, none of my sim contacts appeared. There wasn't a way to get to it either. I load all my contacts directly from my sim. Is there a way to move sim contacts to phone? or save current number to existing sim contact?
thanks.

Go to "Start/Tools/SIM Manager
The program SIM Manager is what you are looking for. (May not be in this exact directory but it shouldn't be to hard to fine. If not installed then just search for it here or on google)
When adding contacts from a call in that manner....it defaults to your phone...not your SIM
You CAN move all your contacts from the SIM to the phone by using the program listed above. Also you can use that same program to move them all back to you SIM if you so choose.
