Is there any way of saving numbers stored in the phonebook to the sim on an XDA2?
Don't know if there is a way to copy your entire contacts in one move to the SIM. If possible most SIM can store a limited number of contacts.
But it is possible to copy contacts one by one to the SIM. Maybe you knew this allready. If not this is how:
Tap to a contact an hold until a menu appears. Choose Save To SIM an a copy of the contact is saved to the SIM.
Cheers,

You can also copy multiple contacts onto your SIM by selecting the desired (or all) contacts and then tapping Tools -> Save to SIM.
Hi guys,
Is there any option to hide SIM phonebook from smart dial searching? TIA.
This registry hack should hide the SIM contacts from viewing. Hope it will work for you.
Show/Hide Sim Contacts
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Phone]
"ShowSIM"=dword:00000001 ->0 to disable, 1 to enable.
Nice!...i needed this also since i have everything copied to both.
Is there a guide on the wiki to change/save registry entries?
Hi, when you press phone to open your contacts, you get the Phone contacts AND the Sim contacts, how do you filter just one or the other.?
I like to keep a backup copy of my contacts on the sim, not just the phone, but i now get 2 enetries for each contact?
Go to People tab > All people > Menu > View and choose contacts or sim.
Yeah that i worked out, but when you press the phone button, it still shows phone contacts AND SIM untill you press the all people button????
why???
I don't know why. I never even noticed that.
Not only that it shows all the emails too, i also deleted them all, and 10 mins later they are back??
Weird phone man...
yes. same problem here.
I select to filter sim contacts. close it. even restart but it still shows both sim contacts and phone contacts.
thanks.
is only way keeping sim card empty?
any ideas?
Use a registry editor and do this tweak:
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSIM = 0 (DWORD; default is 1)
That hides the SIM contacts in the dialer only. They still show up in e-mail and sms screens, but at least it's not in the dialer any more!
that works.
thank you.
Sorry if this was asked before but I couldn't find the answer
I know you can hide the sim contacts from the list by menu >view then uncheck sim. But when you do a search the sim contacts are still showing up. is there a way to hide them also?
Hi,
I have an issue that some of the contacts in my phone-book use only 1 SIM for calling without asking for SIM.
I have selected "Ask First" option for calling in the settings also. I need the normal pop-up SIM selection menu for all contacts before calling.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.
