I'm thinking you want to back up your contacts without using your sim if so then I recommend you to use pimbackup just google it cause I don't really wanna look for the link on my iPad.

Make it so i cant see Sim contacts?

Is there an easy way to get my Sim contacts on to my phone and then also hide me SIm contacts so i only see the ones on my phone?
Contacts is a good word
Hi,
yesterday i´m successfully pathed my charmer to WM6 TouchFlo w. cube.
I tested some stuff. It works good. But there is a necessary thing which is not able to do: I cant open the contact manager to add and administrate my contacts. If i tap to the icon of the manager he close immediately.
Is there a bug in TouchFlo?
Please be so kind to help me
greets
just go to your sim manager then select all, copy contacts to phone. Depending on your rom and what version of advanced configurations you have there is a option to hide your sim contacts.
Thanks i am running Pays WM6 WWE could i hide them????

yes, just go to your advanced config. and the option to show it or not should be there. i don't know if it'll work or not because i turned it off but it still shows my sim contacts. hope it works for you.

dcd 3.1.2 phone always pops up

everytime i change a setting on something, and okay/X out of it, the phone ap shows up, instead of the today screen. how do i get rid of this?
also, is there a way to get the old messager back? or disable the cluster style text message "converstation"?
pocket plus
this has been asked in another thread and I believe the problem was found to be caused by SPB pocket plus (some specific verion, anyway).

I have seen this problem based on which dialer I chose as well
i dont have spb pocket plus and the dialer still pops up...
same problem here, dcd 3.1.2. Funny, I looked forward to threaded sms when I upgraded
I had the same problem and was able to fix it by installing a new dialer. The new dialer doesn't look much different but the problem went away.
I have that problem on my Mogul, and I think it is PocketPlus

have the same problem and i never even seen the app
I think I got it, I installed the stock dialer over again and it hasn't popped up by itself since. I've attached the file I used so everyone else doesn't have to even bother searching for it.
edit: this is the gsm dialer sorry. I am removing it now

DO NOT use this dialer. This dialer is a GSM dialer and BREAKS your CDMA dialer functionality. I've seen so many people just post whatever works...then 5 more threads pop up with people asking "Why doesn't EPST work?" or "Why don't I have +1 dialing?"
Tanx for the warning - I have been flashing from Vetvitos black pill back and forth to DCD's 3.1.2 - was going to try this dialer on the next flash - will delete it immediately.

I recently found a pretty nice looking dialer designed for GSM, but does not break the CDMA functionality. It's based off the iphone dialer and looks pretty damn good. I'm not a big fan of the Diamond dialer (also maintains CDMA functionality) as I don't really care for how it looks.
^^^^ Hey brother - You holding out on me??? Let's see that dialer you just found..... please....!
Az
Here, check it out and let me know what you think...lol
So far I'm liking it.
Hey bud, downloaded it and installed fine... Looks great, and everything works except using the ## codes... Do they work for you?
## codes work fine for me....
Which codes are you trying?
I was trying the ##778#, just dials the phone.... doesn't open epst... Also, the only way I can open epst is by using the link, clicking directly on the .exe does nothing....
Is there a complete list of codes for our phone??
lol silly fool....
Sprint = ##778#
Verizon = ##778
I should have stopped the beer earlier.... So I had an off day.... It's all good... thx for the help G....

2.1 Dialler showing all contacts

Is it possible to adjust a ROM so this isn't the case as it wasn't in all 1.5 ROMS? It's really starting to get annoying
Not that I'm aware of... I've not seen this in any 2.1 ROM, but I'll check out the apk for anything in the smali code

Cheers, it's not just me though is it? As when you choose which contact type to view under contacts it won't show the facebook contacts etc but if you view them from the dialler then all are still visable....

I have exactly the same issue, the facebook contacts dont show in the phonebook but show in the dialer?! Yet to find a way to stop them from showing.
I'm running VillainROM 12 btw, and apart from this little gripe the ROM is awesome!!!
I've been asking about this for ages... I thought it was only me!
Glad to see this thread even if theres no solution as it means I haven't gone completely loopy!
its also show sim contracts which are not in the people program. I turned of the view in people as im on o2 and they have preinstall number for bolts on and stuff like that but there still in the dialer and even if i delete them from the sim if i reboot they are back..
that the only thing that get on my wick with this new update.
It wouldn't of thought it would be to hard to solve as there must just be a slight change from the 1.5 dialler as they look identical?
It's in every 2.1 Rom I've used.... VERY annoying!
I've also come to realise that when trying to send a message whichever application I use it seems to use the same contact settings as the dialer, so if somebody has a different mobile number saved to Facebook it will give you the option of 2 numbers for them and It's impossible to know which is the sim, phone, Google or Facebook number... Grr..
Moved as not development.
Ok just hope it gets as god response in here
I guess not....
To best of my understanding this is a lost cause: The problem is obviously with the HTC phone application, but we don't have the source for this application so it almost impossible for someone other than HTC to fix it. You can try to bug HTC about it but I doubt anything will come out of it.
So is this a problem on official 2.1 update too?
Like others, this is the only real annoyance for me.
Would it not be possible to replace the application with the one that was used in 1.5 to solve the problem? It's a major oversight at the moment
Surely this isn't impossible.....

[Q] SIM COntacts not shown

HI,
I have faced an issue now a days that when i am rooting or unrooting my O1, SIM contacts were not shown over the phonebook but phone contact shown. I think may be its due to rooting or unrooting. but why is it so?? whenever i faced this problem i had checked all the setting, refreshed the setting and also restart my phone but the same issue persists. until when i removed the sim from the phone and then reinstall it, the problem solves.. plz help why it is so..?? what can i do to solve it..?

Actually, also I can't set SIM contacts to be visible, it's only possible to move them from SIM to phone. I'm using CM7 by mik..
In official ROMs there is an option to make SIM contacts visible.
If you can't make them visible, use export/import and choose import from Sim.

SIM Contacts are never displayed in CM7 by mik
If you need to import contacts from your sim to phone mem.
then press the menu key while in contacts >>Import/Export >> import from sim
and import all
but if you need to copy a newly saved contact in phone memory to sim, use an app called contacts2sim (get it from market/Google)
Hope this helps now

Why would you want to back it up onto a device that if it fails you lose the contacts perminantly? CM7 by default backs up all contacts to your Google account, therefore making it that you can then get another phone, toss in your Google creds and your contacts are automatically downloaded, no need to be concerned about copying them from a SIM and making sure they were imported properly. If you must have your contacts on your SIM, try one of the three apps maajstor recommended.

google account? means internet? means not 100% available! exporting to sim card is an elementary task; and you will say if the sim goes wrong? or damaged? lost? yes, thats right, but at least no need to connect to import them, its a very basic function to export contacts to sim card, even the dinosaur nokia 3310 have this stuff! well, never mind, thanks for yr reply a appreciate a lot !
