Aosp based Rom / contact app doesn't support using SIM contacts as default contact. You can only export SIM contacts to phone.
Samsung has 100% advantage over Google when it comes to contact management

Ok, I Import my contacts from sim to phone.
Now I must select option "Gmail Acc" to see only my sim contacts, without skype, viber contacts ?

with the CM10 you dont have access to the SIM card, so you cannot import/export to or from SIM card. no access at all to whatever you have on the SIM card...i have same problem, any help....? even third party apps from play store cannot access SIM card

Probably a bit long winded but you could make a backup, flash a stock rom, save ur sim contacts to ur sd card then restore ur backup and import them. I eventually realised there's no point in using ur sim card, I've just got all my contacts on Google now and use it by default, it syncs automatically so if u ever lost ur phone u could get ur contacts back on a new one easily

"import contact from sim"...copies all contacts from sim card to phone,....for setting contact as favourite, it should be on phone, not on sim
i have the same problem as raphy82.
I import my contacts from SIM, the Pop-Up seems to copy the contacts from SIM to internal memory. but after copying, my contacts are not on my device. only on the SIM.
I use the newest official htc rom 3.14 since today.
I have found a solution for the contact import problem.
You have to open the sim manager in Phone/Contacts/Menu
Mark all your contacs and select copy in the menu.
Your phones copies your contacts on your sim to your device.

HEllo, Diaclone^
Thanks, i worked,
in my phone it says not "Copie" but "Contact to SIM ..."
Just click on that and Voila...
Now you have your contacts both on Sim and on Phone =)
Good Work and Thanks

Contacts are duplicated?

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!

how do u hide sim contacts

how do you hide your sim contacts after i did the update today now it has all my sim and gmail contacts and alot of doubles and all i need is my g mail contacts i
I
have the same result but want to display only my sim contacts. Actually dont wwnt any of my contacts sored to google gmail account.
go to contacts, display option, and then click on gmail account below the line "choose the contacts to display". Now unceck all box. click on "done"
Now only SIM contacts will be displayed.
thanks but i need the oppisit i dont need the sim contacts
I also have this problem. Did anyone get only Gmail contacts to display? Not the SIM contacts.
I am interested to know how to hide the sim card contacts also in 351 - anyone has succeeded?
I use Go contacts. It will solve ur problem and available free on android market. But works great when u hav rooted phone along with Go laincher. Wht I did is disabled dell stage and enabled Go launcher as default. It saves memory and works great.
Umm, what I did was:
1. Go into your contacts.
2. Click the middle button between "Home" and "Back".
3. Click "Display Options".
4. Uncheck SIM contacts.
That should do it.
My solution is a simple one: don't put contacts on the SIM card. Haven't done it in 2+ years, and see no need to do it now.

4.2.2 contact search

Hello!
I just flashed new rom on my phone with android 4.2.2
After setting up my things, I noticed one thing.
Opening phone app, and trying to search something, it works fine, but when I open contacts, and try to search for someone, it always show dublicate entrys for everyone, one from sim memory, otherone from google account.
I have set settings, to use google account only, and it works in phone app, but not in contact search app.
Little annoying, to see every contact as dublicate. . Anything how I can fix this, without deleting my sim contacts?
For me it's working great. Check your settings again and then try wiping cache of the contacts app

I tried, but it didnt help.
Anyone else have advice?
Added picture, of my settings (u can see its set to gmail account), and how it shows when I try to search someone (showing both, sim and gmail contact dublicate).
This is the Samsung contacts app right?
What's the last option there in english?

don't worry. Its a peculiarity of jellybean 4.2.2 to search for all the available v cards in internal and external storage. First of all install any duplicate contacts remover from play store. Remove all the duplicate contacts. Then backup the remaining contacts to a v card. Remove all other v card files from the storage. You are done.

Its "detailed view" or something, where I can set to show 1 or more from the list (if I want sim+phone or sim+gmail or something). I tried, it also doesnt work...

I want to keep contacs in sim card, in case phone breaks or something, I can use sim in another phone and still have my contacts...
Deleting them from sim would solve this, but I need to keep them in my sim.
Phone is my gfs, and only "extra" phone we have, in case of need, is an old non android phone, who cant sync contacts from google...
