does samsung focus store contacts on sim or the internal memory?
No. You'll ned another phone to store contacts to SIM card.

Hi
Whenever i double tap the home button and want to call a contact, there are always multiple contacts that show for the same person. Yoy have to keep repeating the name until it finally calls. I have show only phone contacts to show and hiding sim ones. How can i avoid multiple contacts

Do the multiple contact entries have different phone numbers or are they the same? You can go into a contact and hold down on the number and make it the default if they have more than one. Also, it may be a good idea to clean up your contacts. I had to do this with my gf. It was a mess. She had stuff in her google account, on her sim card, and with facebook with various names. I put all her contacts on her google account and cleared out everything else. You are probably getting contacts stored on the phone and your google voice contacts showing up.

Hi
The contacts have the same number. I only have one contact and name but it always says multiple found. I'm guessing it's still seeing the sim contact as well. If i long press on a contact there is no option to make it default.

I think you are right. I would log on to google voice and check your contacts there and then delete them off the sim card. It's obsolete to have them on the sim card anyway because of it's limited storage and the cloud where you can have your contacts on all your devices. Plus if they're only on the sim and you lose it, they are gone.
BTW, the long press default option only shows up in a contact that has multiple numbers.
I think I have solved it. I deleted numbers from the sim card that was also present on the phone. I then exported all to SD card. I went to manage applications and the ontact storage and cleared phone storage for contacts. The only numbers that were left were around 5 on my sim. I then imported the vcf file from SD card. It then showed some duplicate numbers contacts that were not showing anywhere before !! I then deleted them and left only 1 of each. It now dials on first attempt and no more duplicate entries found
Hi,
I have a Nexus 4, and by accident, I've managed to copy my gmail contacts to the SIM. Since doing this, I now can't remove these contacts which means my SIM card is full.
I've tried various SIM apps from the Play store, but they all say they can't delete contacts, or one of the apps confirms deletion, but then displays them again when you go back into the app!
Any way to sort this please?
Thanks
I have rooted ANG2 soft. Contacts which i exported to SIM on my previous phone - S2 by app all contacts to sim from Google Play cannot be deleted on my S5 with any app i downloaded from GP and even from stock editor... Actually i dont have S2 and any other phone so what is cause?
I have samsung S7 Edge and and i need to buy app from galaxy apps but my credit card which i registered it on the device expired and now i need to register another one ,How can i do that?
In Mi A1, I am not seeing any option to save newly created contact in phone or SIM, the only option is to save in google account. Also tried in google dedicated contact app from play store, but the option to save contact in phone or SIM is missing there as well in Google contact app. Anyone know any app or workaround to save contact in phone or SIM?
Use "LocalAccount" app from Play Store. Will do the trick.
That's be a use those options don't exist in stock Android. Sim cards in most places in the world have not been used for phone numbers in almost a decade so devices with it come with a separate app to make it happen
Contacts>>>>Menu then find 3 dots on top right corner and you find>>>>>Import\Export
Check this works
there is one way to save contacts in phine storage i.e first root your mobile and then by installing titanium backup,freeze google contacts sync.thats it your contacts will besaved to phone storage.
hope this helps.
This can't be for real ... is there still no way to store contacts on the device itself? What is Samsung doing that MIUI can't/won't?
I too was searching for this. There is no option in the mobile to do that.
Hopfully u could export all the contacts to SSD card and later use another Sim(new one), n
copy all contacts to it. U know phones before smart phones; were the ones that could do it.
