Sim contact list.

I understand that the contacts is from your gmail account, but what about all the contacts and numbers stored on you sim card? How can I access those?

Thanks, transferred my most dialed numbers. Is there anything like a speed dial option?

There are two options.
Download the app called "any cut" from the market place and make your own speed dials.
or
use the voice dial app, or just down the call button to activate it.
Is anyone going to make an app that will allow me to work with my sim card like Sim Manager from HTC

save to contact list, but directs me to wrong contact list

Someone called me, and I didn't have that number, I wanted to save it to existing contact, but when I clicked on save to existing contact, none of my sim contacts appeared. There wasn't a way to get to it either. I load all my contacts directly from my sim. Is there a way to move sim contacts to phone? or save current number to existing sim contact?
thanks.

Go to "Start/Tools/SIM Manager
The program SIM Manager is what you are looking for. (May not be in this exact directory but it shouldn't be to hard to fine. If not installed then just search for it here or on google)
When adding contacts from a call in that manner....it defaults to your phone...not your SIM
You CAN move all your contacts from the SIM to the phone by using the program listed above. Also you can use that same program to move them all back to you SIM if you so choose.

[TIP][XT1033] Clear All SIM Preferences At Once For DUAL SIM Moto G

Hope you all would have used "Automatic SIM Selection" or "Remember SIM for a number" features in dual SIM Moto G (XT1033).
When "Automatic SIM Selection" is enabled, the phone will learn from pattern of use and automatically selects that as a preferred SIM when calling that contact.
"Remember SIM for a number" is available when you set “Ask every time I make a call” option in “Dual SIM settings->Call settings->Making calls”.
Once these are set, the dialer no longer asks for SIM for some contacts that have their preferences set. But you can always force a SIM for all calls by selecting a SIM as default in call settings.
The SIM preferences for a contact can be changed either by:
Tapping “Change SIM” during call. While this is the only option for unsaved numbers.
By opening contacts application and manually changing for each of the contacts by long holding the contact number
Though these are useful features, it can sometimes be frustrating if you dial a contact/number with wrong SIM (when rate cutter gets over in the SIM you have selected as default ).
You have to keep changing SIM for each and every contact/number for which you have given “remember SIM” or a SIM set automatically by the phone.
I was very much annoyed when I accidentally gave “Remember SIM” for an USSD code (the pop up dialogue to select SIM no longer appears). The code wasn’t saved on the phone or I didn’t get any calling screen (to tap change SIM) to change the SIM while dialing. The only option I had was to change the SIM in SIM settings whenever I wanted to dial that USSD code.
I tried clearing data of dialer/phone apps in settings, but of no use.. then I saw an built-in app called “Automatic SIM selection” (in Android 4.4.4, in older android versions - 'Smart Sim') under “ALL” category in settings->apps. Clearing data of this app deletes all the SIM preferences in one shot for all the contacts (even for unsaved numbers/USSD codes).
I googled a lot to find where these preferences are stored and how to clear them, but I wasn’t able to find. So I wanted to share this with you all.
Please click thanks if you find it helpful or share your ideas how you manage your dual SIM settings. Always happy to learn and help!
Mods, please delete/move this thread if this information is redundant/irrelevant.

Very well documented thank you for the clear cut points and procedure

Thanks Man!!!! Awesome!!!

Not working with CyanogenMod resurrection remix rom
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app

I found a way to remove remember sim on USSD code on my Moto G
Just add a new contact with number is the USSD code you are using (include special characters e.g. *, #). Then go to the new added contact, tap and hold the number then choose 'Clear default calling SIM'.

I believe this information is relatable to the successors of the Moto G too since the feature has been integral to the entire device line. I have a Moto G Turbo Edition from last year currently running Android 6.0.1 stock OS. The issue is that even after clearing the data of the Automatic Sim Selection app, it doesn't make a difference. Neither does it remember "smartly" which SIM to use nor does it allow me to force a particular SIM as the preferred SIM for calling. Which means no matter what I do, I always get a prompt to choose between the two SIMS and that's very annoying. What do I do?

is this applicable only to the stock ROM. cant find either 'Automatic SIM selection' or 'Smart Sim' in CM
Automatic SIM selection is not part of most custom ROMs i've tried. but wierdly enough, i can't select SIM for all landline calls i make. i just thought this might fix that.

ok, this may be irrelevant but I need "always ask" feature both for call and sending sms. but for sending sms this feature does not working on every custom MM 6.0 rom. only ID6 and CM13 has this function working. anyone here, knows any cause behind that?

Is it possibile to extract the apk from the stock rom and try to install into a custom rom ?

it is possible, provided that the system app/apk you are referring to does not depend on external components/libraries which are part of the stock ROM and not part of any custom ROMs.

Solved - Cannot select which sim to make call through on dialer via google phone app

Hello guys,
I flashed exodus rom (cm -- MM) last week and I am having a set back. Ive searched around and tried a few things but I cannot find a solution.
On oxygen os, in the dialer app, you could call from SIM 1 and SIM 2 even if you have set a preferred SIM in the settings. That was really handy.
On Exodus, I am using the Google Phone app from opengapps (Aroma installer) and I cannot find this option (as expected). I know I could set the settings to "Ask every time" but this would not be handy when I am calling from my car via bluetooth. Making a call from the car dashboard would not be possible since I will not be able to select the sim while driving.
I have tried a few dialers which apparently have this option but I cannot seem to enable it or something. I have tried zero dialer (for example) but when dialing a number I can see only 1 call button which uses my preferred sim settings. Of course, if I set the settings to "ask every time", while making the call it opens the phone app which asks for which sim to use. I am starting to think that these apps are not aware that the phone is a dual sim phone.
Has anyone faced this issue and found a solution to this?
Thanks
Edit
Check post 3 for solution

I am facing the same issue. I am on CM.

Well I found a solution.
True Phone Dialer and contacts actually gives you the option to choose sims. After installing the app, go to settings and enable dual sim. Now after dialing a phone number, hold the call button and a menu will pop up which will allow you to choose sims!
Since you do not need to set the phone settings for the sims to "Ask every time", you can still make calls via bluetooth connected devices. These calls will go through the preferred sim set in the phone settings for sims.
Hope this helps someone.

Hmmm
You should be able to set this in the sim options to ask every time.

Google phone doesn't have dual sim support, use default app..
Can't remember if default Exodus app has this option I guess it does

[SM-G935FD] [Dual-SIM] Contacts Sim1 or Sim2?

anyone know if there is any way to assign a contact to use a particular Sim with out switching using the Sim manager, when yo dial a number you get the option to select the Sim to use but the contact seem to only use the selected Sim ATM i hang up and you can the redial and select the Sim ( i have my home Sim and works Sim in the phone )
I have tried Samsung but the are unhelpful as i am using the phone in the UK and its not supported in this region,
If anyone in a region where the dual Sim version is supported has 5 mins to chat to samsung via there web chat can ask the question if there is any way to set a contact to dial using sim1 and another contact to use sim2 the ask them to request the feature be added via there dev team it may get added or i may just have to go back to LG as they have better call control..
thanks in advance

Hi,
I also have a G935FD and indeed, you're right I haven't found anything to be able to choose from which sim card you want to call when calling via contacts. It works only when you dial from the touchpad...
Complaining at Samsung might help to implement that process in the upcoming updates.

thanks but i would still have to change the default every time i called a contact

Just found a new option that will allow you to select "Always Ask" its not perfect but it helps

This is exactly what I found bit annoying, you couldn't set preference per number as which SIM to use out of the box (by not using any app.. just plain OS based solution), I couldn't find any. Tried asking on this & other forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/sgs7-changes-marshmallow-t3353208
On the play store, found couple of paid apps that were doing the job, but one of them was not working on v6.0.1 (app creator was still in process of upgrading app to work on MM v6.0.1), another app gives you 7 days of free usage but costed £5 after that. I also tried to create a solution using Tasker, but it required a plugin which was first app that I mentioned was still under upgrade.
Frustrated with these problems, I decided to take control myself & now I'm in the process of developing an app that will exactly address the number-SIM preference. I found that Android has exposed a multi SIM API in version 5.1, but it's so poorly documented that I got really really angry about lack of information. Somehow I managed to build a workable copy of app. In this app you can specify rules based on Regular Expression number matching as which SIM to use if the dialed number matches regular expression specified. There is also an auto learning feature, where it will remember SIM for a number to dial.
As I said, I'm still in the process of developing this app, it's not professionally perfect but definitely does the job for now.. (It takes lot of time as I'm not an app developer & devoting time is a problem ), there are many features I want to implement in this app, but let's see when I find time. It's working perfectly on my S7E dual sim (I can't guarantee that it will work on any other device - although it should as app is built using androind 5.1 API -- I haven't tested on any other device).
If you need a copy of APK, do PM me & I'll send you one.. I've also posted same message here.

i will be interested to see the final version, ask always is working as a temporary fix.

preferred sim not working
for me if i click on a contact to call someone then it asks call from sim1 or sim 2 but i already chooses sim2 as preference. if i use swipe it is going from sim 2.
