Hey guys,
I need some help, just got the HTC Touch and I'm using a 3G sim card with it. Problem is, when I go to contacts, I can only see up to 200+ contacts in my SIM Card. I've downloaded asukal SIM Manager and it still showed around 200+ contacts. Now I know I have more than this, I plugged my SIM card into another phone and it showed my contacts no problem so my contacts aren't lost.
If it helps, the SIM Manager says in SIM information;
Total phonebook size: 250
Phone book entries: 206
etc..
And the funny thing is, when I create a new contact it will be saved in the SIM Card contacts.
Anybody can help?
Thanks in advance
Can anybody help? I like this phone but I'll sell it if I can't solve this problem.
The SIM CARD has a limit for contacts: up to 250.
But maybe, there is a limitation from viewing it.
Have you tried the "Advanced Config" application? You can download it from www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi .
It a great program to manage the cellphone.
hi all,
i have a very strange sms bug.
every time i get a new sms text message i get 2 messages in my inbox.
1. i get the actual message that was just send to me.
2. i get another message that is stored on my sim ( if i look in my inbox, there is a SIM icon in front of the message).
This 2nd message also shows up at first in TF3D and is on top of my list in my inbox. very annoying !!
the strange thing is that the 2nd sms is a message that i once sended to a friend of mine, somehow that message is stored somewhere on my SIM and comes in my inbox everytime a get a new message.
i tried a few things, but they didn't help:
- delete it from my inbox and then from removed items; keeps coming back.
- choose "Inmediatly" by "clear removed items" in the message options menu; still the message is coming back.
the message must be stored on the sim, because that message was send from my old phone. and the only thing my old phone and my blackstone have in common is the same simcard.
so i need to know how i can delete this SMS text message from my sim card, at least i think that will solve the problem..
hope someone can tell me how, because its very annoying to delete this message over and over again because it always shows first.
I'm going to bump this thread up because I have the same issue/question.
little kick up..
Same issue here, bumping..
had the same thing when i got my HD a few months ago, after deleting such messages a hundred times they suddenly where gone... :-\
maybe you have another phone around to check if you can delete old messages stored on your sim?
greetz
Same problem here...
same here... any sim guru around?....
i got the same problem since i have my htc, the only thing that realy worked for me is this
efficasoft.com/mobileexpress/index.html (Efficasoft Mobile Express)
its a software, that can save your sms on your pc, and directly delete it from your sim
.. but sometimes my htc gets stuck, and i have to reset it, but yeah its an easy way to save & delete all sms
you could also try ms myphone in combination with pimbackup. afaik myphone only syncs sms on the phone itself, but with pimbackup you can use the delete all feature, maybe that would wipe the sim as well, then you'd sync with myphone again, and since wiping pim information with pimbackup appears as an unplanned deleting, you will get your regular sms back thru syncing with myphone.
another idea would be: try another phone, a cheap or old one, that only uses sim sms and delete all sms there. if that doesn't help, there is something wrong with your network or sim card
I had the same problem as anyone of you. But after deleting it from my inbox at least 4-5 times, it suddenly disappears.
Hi there,
I'm having a small problem when I come to type text messages. When I add recipient, I have 2 entries for all my names; one sim and one contacts. I had a similar problem in my 'people' folder but there was a menu option to display sim only contacts. However there doesn't appear to be a similar option in the messaging menu. Does anyone know how I can overcome this so I only have one number displayed for each of my contacts?
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem and would like to know if anyone has a fix for this. Most annoying and has led me to delete all my contacts from my SIM card, which is not ideal as I like it as a backup...
Yes I was thinking of deleting all mine from sim card too but as you say, not an ideal solution if phone then ends up having a major crash!
BsB Tweaks and disable "show sim contacts"??
thanks ill give that a try. I'm quite new to all this as you can probably tell
hmmm..... I've installed the bsb tweaks (very useful program), and turned off the option for show sim contacts, but I still have the duplicate entries in messaging. any more ideas?
anyone have any other ideas regarding this issue? the option in bsb tweaks does not appear to make any difference.
thanks
does anyone know why I am still having this issue? I've installed latest version of BsB tweaks but I still get my sim contacts displayed when txting
Did you by any chance do a ROM upgrade and restored data from a back up software?
On the duplicate contacts, do you see a blank face and a sim card or two blank faces?
no not performed any ROM updates, just running the O2 rom (1.43)
when I go to add recipient after typing a txt, there is both the blank face and the sim card symbol for each contact
soft reset?
I had this problem, deleted all contacts from the device and just used SIM contacts. Works a charm. Use 'select all' and then delete...but make sure you are on the device list and not the SIM list, or you'll accidentally delete your SIM contacts (mind you, you could always copy them back if they're still on the device).

What I did is, I copied all my sim contacts to phone, then I selected to hide Sim contacts. I don't get any duplicates.

That works in the contacts list but doesn't seem to in the text messaging app.
Anyone solve this yet?

Yes, look at post 12 in this thread. I had this problem but don't anymore after deleting all device contacts and just using SIM.
up. need help on this
When I receive a call or a text message from someone it displays their phone number instead of their name that is in my phonebook.
How do I fix this as I have tried google and the user manual and can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance.
I've been talking to HTC tech support about this issue and they got me to try a few things. They now say that I will have to send it back to them for repair as they reckon it is faulty. Hopefully they won't send it back to me reflashed to the UK Orange ROM....
The other day I synched my tattoo with my Outlook contacts and calendar. It screwed it right up. Deleted over 500 contacts and moved loads of events in my calendar.
I have to wait for the IT dept to restore my outlook from the backup tape from the exchange server.
Since I told HTC about this they have stopped replying. Maybe next week they will take it in for repair......
Has anyone else had this problem. If I have the phone with SIM only contacts then the name shows. If I sync my Outlook contacts then none of my outlook or SIM contacts display the name. The ROM that I am using is 1.67.405.6
The phone is just back from repair and no fault found and they reinstalled the Orange ROM on it. I have put it back to 1.67.405.6 ROM
I love this phone apart from this problem (which I must get fixed or it's back to using the Kaiser).
My camera doesn't auto focus either to scan barcodes
Am I the only person in the world that owns a Tattoo that this happens to ????
No, to be honest my tattoo camera doesn't auto focus either when scanning barcodes...when using the normal camera it does really well...
Since I don't really need this feature it didn't quite bother me...
All my incoming phone calls and text messages just show the callers id number but it doesn't translate them into the phonebook names. Very annoying.
I doubt that this is a fault on the tattoo. Should be some settings somewhere. Remember on windows mobile 6.x you had to set the minimum number of digits in the phone number if your country used less than the default settings for it to show phonebook names? Might be something like that. Try to dig in this direction.
Think I have looked at every setting on this phone and still can't seem to get it working. Maybe it's a fault in the ROM or summat
Does the phone display SIM contacts AND phone contacts? if yes i would set it to phone only and copy all contacts to from sim to phone - maybe it can't handle doubled entries...Oo
I got it listing phone contacts only, changed my frequent ones to +44 numbers, still no difference, still showing phone numbers for all calls and texts.
Is my phone the only one that does this ??
If it doesn't get sorted soon i'll have to get rid of it as this is a bloody nuisance....
Yes, I'm afraid that your phone is the only one, just as my phone was the only one to delete sms messages automatically...I called HTC support and they told me I had to hard reset the phone (although I did this 2 times before). Nevertheless I tried the third time and now the problem's gone curiously...
You can backup all your data on your SD card before you hard reset it (if you're willing to do this again), so no data loss on this side
It's just a thought...
I think hard reset is triggered when pressing Menu and Back buttons while the phone is turned off and then shortly pressing the power button.
Sorry for not being of more help

Right, I decided to bite the bullet again and did a hard reset, scrubbed everything.
1. SIM contacts only, phoned the mobile and the name and number came up the way it should i.e. normal
2. Synched my outlook contacts with the phone
3. Called the mobile from numbers in my Outlook, just the number shows, no name
4. Called the mobile from numbers that worked in step 1, these now show as just number only, no name
5. From this I presume that there is something wrong/corrupt in the Outlook data that the phone doesn't like and screws the names part up. I presume I will need to go through all my Outlook contacts to see if anything jumps out as being the problem.
Any ideas ??
FIXED IT.
Each text or call I received if I clicked on the callers number and listed the contact details it gave me part of one of my contacts with text in the number section (but the same info for every number). I then went through all my Outlook contacts 1 by 1 and found the one that had the same info. Deleted this contact on my Outlook and my phone and boom, hey presto, instantly all my number/names work perfectly now.
HTC sync had corrupted my Outlook earlier and I lost over 500 contacts, garbled others and moved stuff in my calendar.
Thank fook it's all working perfectly now.
I love this phone.
