How can i copy all contacts to sim?

Hi i am trying to copy all contacts at once to the sim card, like i used to with the mda 1, 2 and 3. I know i can copy them one by one, but that cannot be the solution. Any ideas ? Regards, The Modifier.[/u]

itd be great if someone vould find a solution to this as i realy need to copy my 200 contacts to sim and i sont want to do it one by one
many thanks

guys press ctrl + a to select all (highlighted) tap the screen for few secs. then chose save to sim.. hope this helps

Can you keep all the detail from contacts in WM5 when saving them to a sim? I thought all the additional info would be lost if you managed to save them to sim?
Regards

ive used the cntrl a function but all the contacts are not highlighted. and even if they were there is no option by holding down the stylus to copy all to copy to sim card. this could be because iv installed the latest i mate rom.
thanks for any help regarding copying my sim contacts to simcard ofr a permanent backup.

Need Help on installing applications into Storage card !!!

Hi All,
I have an I-mate jasjar, This is the first time i tried installing applications to Storage Card (1GB), when ever i tried to install using Activesync 4.0, It doesnt ask me which folder to install i.e Like Default or Storage Card. And also If i click Add/Remove Programs in Activesync 4.0, I find that the checkbox "install program into the default installation folder" is checked and disabled. Hence I am unable to change it. Find the below image for the same.
Please can some one help me on this, on how to resolve the same.
Regards,
Francis.

Hi Francis,
1. Try inserting a bit smaller memory card (may be 512).
2. check if the momory card is not locked physically.
3. At the lowest, try to hard reset, but keep the memory card inside the i-mate while it install the windows. IMP: dont forget to backup important files before rebooting.
GoodLuck

First of all get Active Sync 4.1 from here...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx
On WM5 devices like Universal and Wizard I think you choose the location on the device, so you just install to 'default folder' from activesync and when it gets to the phone instead of then going ahead and installing it gives you the choice, phone or storage card.
On 2003SE Windows Mobile, you did have to choose the location on your pc in active sync and when it went to your device it went where you sent it.

Hi,
Mine is a MMC Card, so i dont think it can be locked Physically, also i dont have a smaller card to check whether it works. May be i can try your last option, but i have lot of sms, which will be lost.
Regards,
Francis.

Thanks a lot
As mentioned, whenever I tried to install the application in the PPC it ask me where to install. Thanks a lot !!!
Regards,
Francis.

Did you find out how to load a program to an SD card in the Universal? I want to know too, please.
Whenever I install an application I see a message saying: "This is from a unknown developer, do you still want to install? Press YES or NO." This is the only message I see, no option to install it to the SD card.
Any suggestions please?

Can anyone confirm if cabinstl does anything on WM5?
Its dialog pops up, but then I get the normal WM5 dialog then asking for a destination a second time.
I think I may have confused cabinstl by adding the following registry keys:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer]
"fAskOptions"=dword:00000001
"fAskDest"=dword:00000001
which will force the Wm5 installer to ask for a destination. This may be useful to those who aren't getting this dialog by default.
However, I want my MTV. And cabinstl. Working. Properly.

i've do the reg hack, softreset but nothing succeded! any idea?

how to disable the stk menu from WM5 !!!

i want to disable the stk menu from WM5
decause the STK menu always auto startup when i was using programs,I'm crazy!~!~!~
did anyone tell me how to do?
Thank u!!!

STK menu?

Yeap, STK Menu is the services which our provider ex. Vodafone put in the sim card.

Ok, I got an idea. Might sound stupid and is not the most ellegant solution but it will work: Why don't we put together a little program that deletes the shortcut and we put this program in the startup folder? This way the icon won't reappear after each soft-reset.
Can anybody here do this for me? Just a simple little program to delete the file. The one which needs to be deleted is:
\\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\Special.lnk
Thank you so much!

Can you change the title of this thread to a ? not a !
Otherwise it looks like you have an answer, not a question.
STK is partly to do with your sim, and partly your OS. What kind of SIM are you using? Ie a dual sim etc?
V

Hi! Sorry I can't edit the title as I didn't start the thread. I only have the same problem and thought about it.
I am using a T-Mobile Germany SIM. No Dual-Sim in the game. Do you have a better idea how to get rid of the shortcut being created after every softreset?
ROM: 2.18.7.7 GER (QTEK)

XDA II: don't worry, I wasn't asking you to change the title of the thread, I was talking to ncwjk
But I don't think your idea would work - how would you run your little program - you'd put it in the \startup\ folder.
So you would just be gambling that the phone would run your program before stk, since we can't be sure which one would run first. So STk might run first, or your program might be run first... not sure though. I don't use STK so can test it.
V

Ok, I can see your point. However I don't think there's anything to lose. If anybody can make that little program I am willing to try it. Worst case is that it does not work, or am I wrong?
Or is there a possibility to completely remove STK? You say you don't use it. I don't either, but it's there.... Can it be deactivated on the SIM maybe?

there is no way to disable it!
i got to China mobile to change a sim card without stk menu,
they told me,all sim card with stk menu now,so can't help me!

I got this new sim card in Jan,2006
my old sim card don't have this problem!
but, this time,i must use the new card number!
so,i hope there is a way to disable the stk menu!
help me~! tky

SIM Contacts keep re-appearing

Hi there,
I am using the Niki Project Rom v1.0 WM6.1 and when I apply the regedit to hide the SIM contacts, every time I restart or soft reset my Touch Dual the SIM contacts re-appear.
The \key I am changing is:
HKCU->ContrlPanel->Phone->ShowSIM
I change the Value from 1 to 0 and this hides the contacts.
After a reset this value goes back to 1.
Can anyone tell me of a permanent fix for this?
Cheers
gjrober

In your \windows\startup\ folder delete "sddaemon"
It's the thing that's at fault for them always coming back IIRC.
Cheers

Thanks for this response.
What is the function of this file and in deleting it does it have any affect on anything else?
Cheers,
gjrober

To be honest, I have no idea. It's not in a lot of other ROMs, and deleting it when I was using the Niki V1 ROM didn't seem to break anything
If you're worried about it, back up the file to some other folder so you can return it there if something you use breaks - but it certainly didn't seem to do anything when I used that ROM.

You can use Schap Advantage Configuration Tool

You have to use nikisimfix (attached), I don't remember where I found it.
Softreset the phone after the install.

You can use sktools, but it's not free.

Hi, you need to read the list of registry tweaks which is a sticky thread on page 1.
22. Hide SIM Contacts: HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone - create a new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0

It is better to try finding programm to solve this problem because manually is a long process

dupeDedupe that was mentioned earlier is an easy way to erase the duplicate contacts, also by using advanced configuration you will be able to hide the sim contacts. alternatively, by using sim backup, you could delete all your contacts via the menu option then restore them via active sync etc

But I don't have double contacts in the same memory. In my opinion this application erase double contacts if double contacts be in the same memory. Yes?

Take a look to the second post in this thread, the CAB I posted works very fine.
Ciao, Andrea

Try Trinefix. Works fine for me.
