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..?
Don't tell me you don't even know how to change the contacts display settings

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

In your phone book press the menu button... some sum card options there.
Are you syncing with facebook?

Hey thanks for the reply, but i have already tried that, got some import/export options, nah i never bothered with syncing because i didn't want my contacts clogged up with facebook friends lol
Hi,
I have been having this weird problem for some time now. When someone calls me, the phone does not always show the name of contact, only the number. The call log does the same also. Sometimes the same contact calls again and the name shows. I don't quite see where the problem is.
Restarting does solve it for some time but after a while this odd behaviour is back again.
Has anyone seen this before?

try 3 button combo if the prob exist u can try a custom rom orelse take it to service center as it might be a prob with the phone itself.
I would recommend to tru combo or custom rom and check if the problrm exist it seems to be a software related issue and not phone.
i hope u havent copied the numbers twice ,u may try exporting ur contact to sd card ,delete all contact,import your contact again
go to contact -menu button-import/export-copy to sd card
delete all contacts
export them back again
it will create a .vcf file in ur sd card so all your contatcs will be safe no problem deleting them just import them back after deleting

I did the hard reset when I upgraded. And regarding the import and export, thats what I have done before upgrading, but thank you though.
It seems that the contacts content are not loaded properly all the time. I tried opening the contacts and scrolling through the whole contact list, and then I switch to the call log, and all the names are back in the call log. What is confusing is that I do not use any sort of task killer such that the contact are removed from the memory.
I don't think its a hardware problem though.
Hi Dr.Alani,
Frustrated by the same issue. Any breakthrough with this one?
Sending the phone in to service center for 3 weeks+ is just not an option.
I've found out that the problem was caused by "market access" app. If you leave the emulation on, for example T-mobile, the phonwill consider only US numbers to be local. All other numbers will look different than they are on the contact list. So, just remember to restore your network code in market access or market enabler after you finish downloading from the market. I hope this solves you issue.

There would not be any such problem if you stored all your numbers in the international format in the first place (like, +1123456789)
(For quick restore - airplane mode on and off.)
Actually I do save the numbers in International Format, but the problem is that the network I am on, when someone calls I receive it without the +CountryCode ..Thats why names don't show up.
I don't see my image in a text message thread thought I've set one in my profile. All i see is a grey box. Help!
I too am faced with the same problem, according to what I've read it's an android bug/feature - your number is read from your sim, rather than your profile.
The effect of this is that, if your sim doesn't come with a 'my number' field, your profile is never associated with it, and hence your picture won't show.
Apparently you can put your sim in a phone capable of writing that field to the sim and then it will work. but as far as i'm aware i can't find a way to do it on the p500.

Afaik, add ur profile with ur email address of gmail, go to talk change the display image and u will see the same avatar in messaging apps. Good luck.

I think you have to add your own number to the contact list with contact picture. It will work only if your sim has the number flashed inside some providers do that and some don't, check in setting > about > my number. If it shows your number than u would be able to change your avatar in messaging app else you have get that number on sim, its possible with cm7.

You must have your number on the SIM card. O1 can't change this number, so you must find other phone, which can and change your number (I have and old Siemens CX65 - it can change SIM numbers).
Otherwise, you can add yourself to address book... ugly but works.
Profile Picture
If I could remember correctly, I was using CM7 when I was able to change the phone number in Settings > About Phone > Status then My Phone Number.
I have flashed ROMs several times now & I'm using devoid now but the phone number remained.
The correct path on cm7 is setting > call setting > additional setting > my phone number.
Change the phone number there to your phone no. Add contact with same number in contact book with avatar. It works.

Very very nice info there man. Will try this one out ASAP.
FYI there's not much phones out there that has the ability to modify this field.
@bindaasathar
The idea is to backup your current setup, flash CM7 then modify "your number" then restore back to your previous setup(if you still want to).
Hmmmmm. I'll try it out! Thanks

I had the same problem. But now I flashed with andy's [ROM] Gingerbread-2.3.4-rc2 @2011-05-22-21.00+GMT0
adding your no in the contact list with ur snap would work on any stock rom.

Goto Settings -> Profiles you will find all the profiles
Thank works great, thanks been bugging the **** out of me for a long time.
Cool..
So, Optimus one has the ability to edit the phone number stored on SIM, the only thing that was stopping before was the ROM...
Bad LG... No Cookie for you
Thanks works great. Alway tryed to edit it in About the Phone Settings.
I rooted my phone but the terminal emulator says access denied whenever I type in 'su'.
Ensure your phone is unlocked at the time of typing su, if not you won't get the prompt to allow super user permission - oh emulator, I misread disregard that.

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 !

Hi guys! i Have just upgraded my gsm razr xt910 to official jb (982.124.14.retail.en.eu )
everything's ok but i have a "problem" (if i can call it in this way)
everytime i turn on my phone i see in the notification bar the voice "synchronizing contacts between sim card and phone" (those are not the real words, it's my traslation from italian ) this also happens when i set airplane mode and when i suddenly disable it..
as i said before, this is not a real problem, because this synchronization lasts a few minutes and then it turns off, but i want to disable it because it's useless..and i even want to now if i'm the only one who has this problem
thank you guys !
Hi, if you are not rooted, You will not be able to shut it down.
Can I ask? What colour is Your "people" (contacts app)? Is it white?

I noticed the same. I suppose it is syncing contacts with Google Gmail??
You can disable sync when you open Contacts. Choose settings and Accounts. There is an option to disable auto-sync.
However, I did not try this, so I am not sure.
