yeah i have seen that but not a prob for me as all my contacts are backed up to google so sync auto when phone is set up! i havent check but there must be an option to view both sim, phone, google contacts etc.

come on man that was 1st thing i did. thats only to copy sim contacts. problem there is that it does not list sim contacts without you having to copy them over and says sim card unavailable in dialler app. you should be able to see all your contacts in there i.e google, sim and phone etc. where its says sim card unavailable you should see your phone number.

After a while I found it out myself, but thanks anyway. Btw, not showing my number isn't a big deal for me, I think everybody knows his own number.
manthess, how did you do it?
I did the same what meddle said.
which is to copy the sim to phone? tt'll double up the contacts...

Hi, I just got my hero a few days ago.
Previously I had saved some SMS onto my SIM card on a SE handphone.
With the SMSes still in the SIM card, how can I read them from Hero?
Thanks
Open up messages.... press menu button... then settings. Third down the list is "Manage SIM card messages
I could not find the option in handcent sms, but manage to find it in the default message widget.
thanks, it works.
I am running Cyanogen mod and I can not figure out how to gain access to my sim card and delete contacts and text messages from it.
Is it possible and if so how do I do it?
Go into Message app, Press menu button, go into settings and click on "Manage SIM Card Messages"
From here you can delete your msg's saved on your SIM!
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
Thats the problem, I don't have the "manage sim card" option in the settings. I can't find anything on the phone about getting to my sim card.
Goto Messages,Press Menu button>Settings then select Manage SIM Card Messages

My phone says sim card full delete messages but when you do that it says delete fsiled
Hi,
Having issues with setting preferred SIM on individual contacts? It seems to remember when I set SIM 2 for some time, but then everything just defaults back to SIM 1, regardless of which SIM that contact usually calls in on. All of my contacts are either on Google sync or Exchange sync.
Anyone else? I'm on stock ROM v1.72.
I have the exact same problem. Came here searching for a solution after two weeks ago I put a second SIM into my Z7 mini. Although I select SIM 2 as default communication card and I select the switch in all contacts to card 2 it stucks to card 1 and ignores all the settings. Only disabling card 1 lets me call with the second card.
In my case I have a Z7 mini with stock ROM 1.76
Has anyone found a solution for this?

Yes. Apparently one of the apps for my workplace insisted on synching all contacts every 24h. I fixed it by exporting all contacts to my Google account and the problem disappeared.

Not an option for me Actually I have to set card 1 and card 2 back and forth for every contact until I see that I'm calling with the proper card. Either that or disable one card, call and re-enable it and re-set all card configuration. Not the way it should be but...
I have a gear s tmobile. Up until this past week I've been able to use the gear to initiate texts and all of the sudden this function has stopped. When I go into messages, compose and try to send a message I get this phone icon with a half circle in front of it as opposed to the arrow like it's loading or sending but it doesnt move or change and the texts don't send. When i turn off bluetooth and try to use mobile network or wifi i get the red square icon with the exclamation point. I cannot use s voice to initiate texts either though other s voice functions - ie call bill - works fine.
I can reply to texts as they come in all day. I suddenly just cannot start them on my gear. I have tweaked every option i could think of, rebooted, reset the watch, tried to switch from primary textra to primary Samsung messages, removed the sim card and so far nothing. Something wrong with my sim card or what?
***update*** it was the sim card. Not sure why texting worked at first then didn't but I had to log in and input the # on the sim card and reboot.
i dont have a sim. im using bluetoth with the same problems any help?
I know for me, I can't have airplane mode on and send messages. I can still receive them with it on though.
*with bt connected

Thank you for the update. I am having the same issue except it affects calling only - I can not make any phone calls, and I can not receive any phone calls - I can text and use my data though like normal, but I can not make any phone calls nor can I receive any phone calls. You mentioned that you had to "log in" and "input the # on sim", and "reboot" -- would you please elaborate where you have to go to "log in" like on the: T-Mobile Website? Samsung Website? where do you "log in"?

Hey yes on T-Mobile website. My T-Mobile.. I forget the exact links but you click into your device and go from there.. Pretty sure there's a number on the sim and you input that and reboot. I called T-Mobile and they were pretty helpful if you get stuck.

Ok, I went on to the T-Mobile website, then created an account for my T-Mobile Samsung Gear S phone number under "My T-Mobile". However, when I log in to "My T-Mobile" I do not see anywhere listed a place where I can input the number on my SIM card. I tried looking under the submenus of: Billing, Usage, Plan, Phone, and Shop, but was not able to find the place where I could input the number on my SIM card -- where do I find the place to input the number on my SIM card?

Hey I poked around and nothing jumped out at me either. I'm currently using gear s2 so my settings may have changed (it has built in sim.) Give tmob a call and they'll help u. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
Using two SIMs and having assigned the contacts to them there is a 5sec waiting time before the dialing starts (so you could choose the other number). This drives me crazy. Any way to get rid of that waiting time?
Setting-dual sim..- scroll to bottom, default call set your simcard

If you want to set the default sim to dial, read the answer above.
And if you're interested in having both the sim options displayed and want to just get rid of 5s waiting time, You should get latest MIUI 10 Global BETA 8.9.20.
I had that annoying waiting time on all previous builds. But after updating to 8.9.20 it is no longer there.

It is there. I was dialling numbers from a week old call log that's why it didn't show up the first time.
A quick google search shows that apparently this auto dialling is inbuilt "feature" that you can't turn off in MIUI.
Well, I guess for me that will be the reason to go the unlock/root/custom rom way in the near future.
So stupid!
I meant you can't turn off it in MIUI dialer app. My bad.
You can always use third-party dialers to get rid of auto dialling.
LOL, that didn't come to my mind ?
If anyone is interested: After a long search I settled with Dual SIM Selector Pro. Not a dialer, only a SIM card chooser. I can choose what SIM to use by google account.
