ok I just an Exec so be gentle.
I put my sim in and have now removed it.
unfortunately all contacts appear in the list but the "delete" option is greyed out because my sim is not in the device. how do I delete thee contacts from the list?
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
Check post no. 4
i have installed this on my HTC touch and i no longer see the sim contacts in the contacts list.
Hi There!
I notice that since moving my sim card from my i8910 where I didn't have duplicate contacts, that when I installed it in my new hd2, I do have duplicates but can't determine why. Usually it's because you have both sim and phone contacts displayed, but I haven't copied them to the phone yet.
i am concerned about deleting them for fear of losing them.
Also I expected contacts and on my list at the bottom I have "people" instead, and when I "add contact" it creates a new blank contact.
Where is the contacts?
Really? No-one knows the answer or has had this problem before?
Bump? Anyone?
If you remove the SIM and boot your phone, do you still have the duplicates?
Lets clarify it, do you have double contacts on your sim?
Contacts on sim have different icon them contacts on phone, does all your contacts have the same icon?
Did you sync your phone with the pc?

Nope, no contacts at all, Seems like the dupes are on the sim, though they don't show up as dupes on another phone I have here. Is there a nice tool for cleaning dupes off a sim?

Never sync'd, but all contacts look like sim contacts.
That is quit weird, I think sktools has an option to scan and delete duplicate contasts, appointments, tasks, ... U can try it. Before that backup your contacts, just in case.

Why dont you just use Microsoft MyPhone to sync all contact info. When you log in to your account then on desktop pc just click the button "search for duplicates" and there you go. You also can add/edit/delete/... every single contact info via the web interace. And next time when you click sync in your phone the changes will be made to the contacts on your phone. (also u can sync the calender, pictures, videos, even the storage card...)
Microsoft MyPhone is probably the best thing MS invented for their phones. and it works soo soo good
I tried to use MS My Phone, the problem is that it won't sync contacts on my sim, and it appears this is where the duplicates are.
I need a tool that will allow me to edit sim contacts on my PC
Copy sim contacts to outlook, delete everything on card, sync with myphone, remove duplicates, copy back to sim? Don't know if that last step is possible though...
Anyway, I really wonder how one can still use SIM contacts for everything... I haven't used SIM contacts anymore for the past ~8 years...
I could actually kill someone right now.
I copied sim to contacts, contacts to My Phone. Deleted Sim Contacts (using sim manager which I didn't know deleted contacts as well), then sync'd to My Phone and now I have 0 contacts anywhere!
I didn't know know myphone was a one way sync, now I just lost 165 contacts!
I wonder what the chances of sim contacts recovery is?
I had another phone that had a copy of my contacts from 2 months ago. Thank the Gods! Not impressed with Windows Mobile and it's crappy Contact Management though!

It's not, but it's perfectly normal it acted that way. Sync works both ways, once you have set up a sync relationship, the modifications on one side will follow the ones on the other side. That's the whole point of syncing.
I.e if you modify/delete a contact on myphone, it will modifiy/delete it on the phone on next sync. If you modify/delete on the phone, next sync will apply that to myphone. As you deleted everything on the phone, it's normal that next sync deletes them on myphone too. It can't guess the deletion wasn't intentional... You should not have synced, but have either run a restore operation, or deleted/recreated the partnership checking that myphone overwrites device.
Every sync system works that way, not just winmo/outlook/myphone... you just need to learn it

Check the "Archive" section on the MyPhone website, they are in there.
Hi
Previously had all my contacts on the sim. Now that I have samsung galaxy s, and will probably stick with the same O.S. for the future, it would be nice to convert all my #s to google. Can't find any option on the phone to do this.
Thanks

Hi,
that is a good question..i searched for the same function but i did not find a proper option...i only managed to link my phone contacts with my facebook contacts, which is really cool
Thanks, if they are linked then where is the phone number stored, is it still only on the sim or does it go into the "facebook contact" which i imagine the facebook contact is stored on the phone.
I wish there was some sort of smart contacts manager application on the PC that you could merge sim <-> facebook <-> gmail contacts all into one set of gmail only contacts.
check this topic out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081
