I just got my new Cingular 8215 and love it. I am on the road and the ability to access email is fantastic. However, I have found that I have to scroll through a LOT of Outlook contacts before I make it to my SIM contacts when dialing a number.
I know that I can just start dialing or typing a name (smart dial), but it would really be nice to ONLY see my SIM contacts when scrolling down the contact list when dialing a phone number.
Most of my Outlook contacts are only email address, so it is a waste of space and time for dialing!
Any ideas/suggestion/comments?
Thanks!

sorry guys i've just copied my sim contact to phone contact but when i open contact there's a sim contact data and phone contact data
ijust want to know how to hide the sim contact data cause it's very disturb me and make me confuse
displaying data
my solution for your problem is that i synced all my contacts to outlook then opened the editor in outlook and changed the catagory for all the on phone contacts to personal, then when displaying contacts on phone i just filtered it by catagory
hope this works for you
thx i've just want to try it

i have installed this on my HTC touch and i no longer see the sim contacts in the contacts list.
I notice that when typing a contact name for a SMS message, some of my old contacts no longer on my Gmail account show up. I think these contacts may still be on my SIM card. How do I edit my SIM card contacts from the phone?
In the contacts option you have to choose which ones to display: SIM card in your case.
Once you do that the SIM contacts will appear in the main list. You can then long press one of them and choose edit.
There is also an app on the market called contact2sim pro which will pretty much do the same thing but I find it completely unnecessary with the Vibrant.
I have my contacts displayed perfectectly just having gmail showing.
Now when I go to send message (handcent) I see duplicate numbers! Also only some numbers display the contact picture when it has a pic from facebook synced in contacts.
How do i fix this.
I had this same issue and I just deleted all of the contacts that were on my SIM... Might want to look into that.
This is a limitation of the underlying way in which touchwiz handles contacts. There is no way to limit contacts to just a particular label in Goog contacts. All contacts are shown. In the Contacts app, you can filter the listing somewhat, but when some other app or some selection dialog appears, all the contacts are shown.

probably the easiest, not sure about the only... They are really not needed on your SIM tho. Just make sure that any contact that is not saved to your google contacts is saved there before you delete it off your SIM.
ughh i deleted all the sim contacts still having the issue. I think maybe it was faceoobk issue so I mune settings accounts and sync and unsync facebook contacts but everything is stilll there.
I got contac2sim app to delete the sim contacts worked good. I saw that it says 479 contacts on left and 0 sim contacts....now i only have 211 contaacts in gmail.. there are no contacts on phone, so facebook must be doubling them
EDIT - The facebook contacts are linked actually wtf. If I click link contact them i go to link the same one that person not there..im goin crazy.
Figured most of it out
The contacts were deleted off the sim but phone didnt recongnize it until I shut it off and removed the sim card.
Once i put it back and it worked and contacts were cleaned up
i guess now the only thing would do is merge gmail and facebook contacts
anyone know how to do that
My purchased edge panels sometimes dissappear. The panel is still present, but the icons are gone. I have to manually disable and re-enable the edge panels for them to show back up. I've also noticed that this does not happen on any stock panels. Any thoughts on what may be causing this behavior?

I'm having the same problem with my s7 edge panel contacts, they stay in place for a few hours then inexplicably vanish. Oddly, it's only 2 of the 5 edge contacts that disappear. I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the contacts that stay and the ones that disappear, but so far no luck. Here's some things I did that didn't work:
- I noticed that the 2 disappearing contacts were Outlook and Skype contacts but not google contacts. I added those 2 as google contact thinking that was the problem, then added them to the edge panel but in a few hours they vanished, leaving behind the other edge panel contacts.
I did read somewhere online, of course I can't find it now, that if you uninstall the Outlook contacts and then add contacts to the edge panel the contacts stay put. I did add the contacts that stay before I added and synced Outlook as those contacts were already google contacts and the 2 contacts who vanish were originally only outlook contacts so I was unable to add them until I'd figured out how to sync Outlook contacts. I don't want to unsync and uninstall Outlook just to see if those 2 contacts magically stay put because it was a pain to get the Outlook contacts synced in the first place. Any ideas appreciated!
Solved!
The contacts need to be google/Gmail contacts. So, unlinked my contacts that had Outlook, yshoot, etc, then I added the contact by using their Gmail profile. Once I'd added them to my edge panel, I then linked their Outlook, Skype, etc to that profile. Yay! Now my contacts stay put on the edge!
