Hi, I have been doing a lot of upgradding and have saved a few times the contacts on my Sim Card. If I download the contacts off my Sim card I get quadruple entries.
Now I have properly saved them with Googlesync. Is there a way to completely remove them off the Sim Card?
I would not mind having a set on the card, but not multiple copies.
thanks
try using Contacts2Sim app from market!! can use it for deleting em !!!
Hope it helps
plz thank me if it did!!

Here is my problem or annoyance if you will. I added my contacts to my phone and added their email accounts and numbers. I synced Facebook to my contacts so it would merge my contacts with their Facebook pictures and such. Well now my contacts show their name twice. One being Facebook and the other being the phone number on my sim card. Is there any way to merge them together and have my contacts listed just one time in my contacts folder?
Did that make any sense?
If you go to Contacts>Menu>Display Options you can edit the options to show contacts from SIM card or not, have you tried that?

Well the problem with that is that I can not edit the contacts with Facebook information. It will not let me add a phone number. This would be sweet if I could do that because then I would not need the contacts that I saved to the sim card.

Try copying your contacts from sim to phone. Then go to the options to only display phone contacts.

Most likely you have more that one vcf file on external sd being restored .

Thanks for the responses guys. I will try to copy the contacts to the phone and see if I can get a merge going.
Also it's better to have them all saved as Google contacts anyway so if you lose your sim or do a factory reset they'll all sync up again after you put in your gmail info on initial setup.

Looks like importing from the sim card to the phone fixed my problem. This merged all of my phone numbers to my friends list from Facebook. Thanks!
Hi all, rather than import all my contacts from my sim to the phone, I would rather the phonebook display the contacts in my sim card.
However there doesn't seem to be an option to display SIM directory contacts
Is this possible?
Help anyone?
I pretty dread transferring all my contacts to the phone
I usually store new contacts in the SIM
+1 Help anyone?
No>>>> import from sim .

When saving new contacts it ask if I want it save to phone, sim card or Microsoft Exchange. I want the contacts saved to my SD card so which one do I check?
Choose phone then it will save on your phone... The next time you make a contact backup, it will backup your contacts save on your phone to the sd card... I'm haven't seen an option tosave each contact to sd... I might be wrong on that...

Save to phone.
A nice option is to sync your contacts to your Google Mail account and then you always have them, and they are backed up. It is a great solution.
When I long press then delete it doesnt delete. Tried it all. Where is the contacts saved on sim.. anybody figure out a way to delete these sim contacts?
I was trying to sync my contacts from my phone to my SD card before switching ROMs since Backup Assistant doesn't work.
Anyways, my phone froze while it was synchronizing my contacts, but apparently got them all anyways. Only problem is, since it froze, I assumed they didn't all go through and I tried over and over again. Well, now I have all of my contacts 8 times and it wants to link them all together.
Never have I been so annoyed with my contacts.
Is there any way of erasing the 7 extra listings of each contact I don't need?
Do I have a long day ahead of me by manually deleting them 1 by 1 off of my list? Or is their sync files I can find with root browser and just delete them?

If you flash another rom that has backup assistant working would it only list your contacts once? would that be easier than deleting all those?

No. It would put my contacts back but it would still sync them from my SD card and link them all together again. Plus my SD card would still have wasted space of multiple backups of the same contacts written on it.
I suppose I could delete all contacts from my SD card, download a ROM with working backup assistance... if there is one, and then save them to my SD again.
But I don't even know where the contacts sync to my SD in order to delete them.
