Is any 1 experienceing problems with adding contacts to sim? My phone won't give me the option to save to sim just phone and Google account. im using a micro sim with adapter and everything seems to work apart from this.

hasnt every android phone not given the ability to save contacts to sim? you always had to grab an app from the market to do it i believe.
SIM contacts are extremely limited in the amount of information they can contain. Standard Android, like on the Nexus One, G1, and G2x, doesn't have the ability to save contacts to SIM without going through several steps.
I remember having trouble with this on my desire hd, its strange cus i purchased the Mrs a galaxy ace and that lets you but more expensive phone won't lol. Thanks i guess only way is too Google backup

Yep I have the same issue. I cannot stand the way this phones handles contacts and syncing. I have yet to find a way to just add contacts the good old fashion way as static data on the memory card which is what I want.
Sadly I have removed everything facebook from the phone just to keep the contacts out despite un-ticking sync contacts
come on guys there must be someone with a way round this problem
....
Well, the only solution I found so far is to visit htcsense.com and edit all the contacs in there. So instead of having three contacts each with different information, I just have one contact with all the information.
But it took me about 6h to edit all the contacs
lol not really a 'solution' is it.....
i have done this now takes ages as it loads up all contacts every time. there must be another way to sort this out i love my DHD but this is rely doing my head in now. I get a bigger list when i go to tex and add a contact in there all my FB contacts come up not much fun when you have 300+ in there all with funny stuff instead of numbers come on guys you can cook up new Roms but no one knows this problem HELP plz
Use your Google contact list... It really can't possibly get any better than that.
I am, but that doesn't stop facebook populating everything. Why can't I have Facebook for HTC sense without it putting all the contacts in there...
Open the People app
Tap menu
Tap View
You can disable the other contact lists

Exactly!!!
OK I just disabled HTC facebook completely, and now just use the native Android app. It properly supports "existing contacts only"
It's not like HTC's app or widget are particularly good anyway

Can someone ttell me how to save all my contacts to my sd card so for whenever I switch roms? Or can I also do this on titanium backup?

Is there something wrong with using your google mail account for your contacts? That's how I did it when I tried out different ROMs. So you don't have to have the issue with saving it and restoring it. All you'd have to do is sync your phone with your google mail account.

Yes you can do it with Titanium backup.

+1 what's wrong with Google contacts??
Sent from my cm7src B#38 g2 using XDA App
Everytime I save them and sync and get a new rom I no longer have those contacts but I just backed up everything with titanium

Make sure your contacts are being created under your mail account and not on phone storage.

+5 on wtf is wrong with google?
however... as a criminal throttler (according to tmobile) if I want to flash a rom after a wipe and I am not near wifi my only alternative is to manually restore ****. Why? Because resyncing a **** load of data back to my phone while throttled makes me want to eat my phone in front of a tmobile rep. infuritating! (Its like driving a WWII era moped on the expressway)
but thats one reason why i sometimes need to avoid the gumminess of google. because it pisses off tmobile.
Another reason some people may not use Google for all of their syncing is if they use Google for personal contacts, but still have business/miscellaneous contacts (and their business does not use something like Google or MS Exchange that they can set up a sync for).
Granted, they could set up another Google account for the business ones, but maybe it's not allowed due to corporate IT policy or something. Everyone's usage model is different...
So with the upcoming release of royal ginger 1.5 I wanted to save Just my contacts stored on my phone to the sim or make a file on the sd card.
Everytime I go to contacts-import/export it ends up saving 260contacts when I only have 160 actual phone numbers. The 260contacts includes gmail email addresses and a bunch of nonsense.
I turned off contact sync for my google account and all that still.
Is it possible to delete all contacts on sim and replace with an updated 160?
Help is appreciated.

I did it backwards I think. I saved all to gmail, then deleted them from SD, no Sim though (Imagine it's the same process).
I then cleaned up my gmail, and then re synced it via phone.
When updating to Royalginger 1.5 you wont lose contacts but you will lose SMS and mms

Just use My Backup Pro. Very Easy to use.
is there any program like kies?
mainly for contact back up or edit ,
There are plenty of apps to backup contacts. I don't know why you'd ever want to use Kies though, so I can't really offer something that's like it.
There is also myPhoneExplorer:

When i backed up and restored my contacts with Kies, i recognized that the resolution of the caller pictures was reduced dramatically. Maybe a misconfiguration or maybe fixed in newer releases (?)
To backup my contacts i use the builtin feature save to/restore from SD card. This saves everything except the call groups. And be sure to check that you don't import your contacts to your google account when you restore the contacts from SD card
thanx i will try it
You could always try the ever popular "mybackup" from the market...

Why not just sync with google?
Always backed up in real time.
Or am I missing something.

Not everyone likes to have his/her contacts uploaded to Google
True. I was thinking that, but somehow I think Google gets them anyway.

hi guys, im a noob......im gettin my nexus 4 this christmas and im currently using a blackberry...ive been searching how to transfer my contacts and i cant find anything that can help me out....i really need help
Sync it to Google. When you sign into your new nexus all your contacts will be there.

If you are gonna cut you sim to microsim you can....
import contacts into your sim card, then simply plug in your sim and export over. (sometimes you dont have to, the phone will automatically detect the contacts in your sim)
Thnx guys, i solved this problem with googlesync for bb....thnx
