Is there a way to select an certain sim for each contact using the Huawei Phone app and Contacts app? I know i can set for each contact to make a call from a specific sim in the google contact app.

When I want to write a new SMS, and click on the contact list button to select a number, I only get all the contacts stored in the xda's memory, and not from the SIM. What am I doing wrong?
The xda doesn't access anything from the sim directly....only uses the sim manager program. Copy the entries to the main phone book to use them as described.
Hello,i wanted to set up my most called contacts as shorcuts on the home screen on my Evo,but when i chose shorcut>direct call it gives me only people with phone numbers imported from my facebook account.Is there a way to give me the contacts from my sim card only so i choose among them.I tried with people widget,but in all groups it gives me to choose from contacts from my gmail acc,only in the frequent group displayed me the contacts from my sim card,since they were the ones i called mostly.
So how do i get the phones on my screen from the sim card as shorcut?-or i should use another app from the android market.
P.S. In people i've set the options to show me only contacts from sim card and phone memory.

Try this.... Go to your "people" app and open it. Click the phonebook tab at the top, it'll let you choose which contacts to show. That's how it works on the Rom I use, (mikrunny 3.5 sense) might be different on yours. Hope this helps.
This is what to show in people app,in my case when i pick address book ,yeah i see only people from sim card.But i wonder why when i try to add the contacts as shortcut dials,i see only the ones from facebook.
is there anyone who tried to make such speed dials and experienced such difficulties?
P.s. Anyway thanks for the try
When I add a contact into my phone book, I want to add the contact direct to my SIM card phone book.But in EVO 3D, there is no suggestion to do this . How can I make some change to my setup to do this?
I think when you add the contact you can select at the top if you want it to be a google contact or store to sim.
I'm on ICS if that helps
Hi all
Just got the Gear S, do not own a Samsung Phone, using it standalone (for now).
Anyone figured out how to add contacts to the watch?
I select "Contacts" from the menu. All that is happening is the spinning animation with the text "Syncing contacts". I can't add a contact from the message app or the call log either.
I dont want to go back to memorize numbers again.
edit1: tried to add some contacts to SIM card. Not picked up by the watch.
edit2: added some contacts to SIM card. They do appare on incoming calls, and appares in phone application when searching in the dialer.
You can't. Majority of the functions of this watch requires a Samsung phone. The only thing you can do is make or receive calls, send or receive SMS. That's about it. Some built-in apps may work (weather, HERE) to certain extent. Most apps won't without a phone.

Yepp, unpaired and alone this thing is dumber than a dumbphone. Not a problem for me actualy, I have a dual sim phone, so I just dump all the contacts to the sim card. I can see who's calling me and search my name in the dialer. The "contact" homescreen does not work, but that is fine by me.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to run the gear s as stand alone and getting my contacts to appear was the main issue holding me back. I was happy to discover the trick about activating it without a Samsung phone and your contact trick might be all I need.
I carry two phones - work and private. My private phone is a phablet that I love (Nokia 1520) which I do all my emailing and browsing on. My work phone is just for calls and sms so the smaller the better (carrying two phones is a pain especially one being a phablet), but I need my contacts to sync via my exchange account so I use a small smartphone (Nokia 800). I'm hoping I can go Nokia 1520 and gear s stand alone using the tricks posted here.
The gear s seems like a perfect solution - I actually need the two phone numbers (and, yes I have thought about a dual sim phone but there are issues with that scenario). Although, I am suspecting that as much as I love my 1520 I might end up getting a Note 4 to make it all more convenient, but I just hate the thought of android, sorry.
My SIM contacts automatically shown in Gear. But i want to add new contacts. Is that not possible?

I think Samsung may have out-of-the-box disabled that feature simply for that reason-- to encourage users to have to use it with a phone. However, on the Tizen Developer website they list the source code for a simple contact manager (ah! New user, can't post links yet... just Google the Tizen SDK) that is able to interface the contacts API. This should be pretty simple/straight forward to compile and implement for the watch with the SDK.
I haven't quite made a decision about whether to purchase the S, or if I had more time at the moment, I'd do it. However, my point being the contact restriction I believe is only concerned with the built in contact app... I see no reason why another app should not be able to access it and thus get around the apparent limitation.

Adding contacts to your Gear S2
You can add contacts. I just did it. You have to log into your online account via your cell phone provider.
Just got the Gear S, do not own a Samsung Phone, using it standalone (for now).

Hi,
is there any chance to get SIP Account Settings working on this smartphone. In the current Software there is just no option anymore. In my old Z3 Compact there is the option to create a SIP Account .

The same on my phone. I had a Z3C and also 6.0.1 and there was under "Calls" the section for adding a SIP account. With the Z5C and 6.0.1 there is no way anymore to work with SIP accounts. Sony removed a naitive feature of Android. Now I had to install a VOIP app to handle this. Is there a way to get the SIP account feature back?
I don't believe this what happens with the Z5C. Is it possible to get the feature back when I root the phone?
Although this is about a Samsung device, maybe this thread can also help you out: ( sorry, since I just registered I'm not allowed to post url's... But Google will help you )
I used the app QuickShortcutMaker to link to the sip settings. Make a link to “com.android.phone.settings.PhoneAccountSettingsActivity” or “com.android.phone.CallFeaturesSetting” on some other phones. No rooting required!
Apparently the functionality is still in there, only a direct link is lacking... I am using native sip on an Samsung tab S2 now
Let me know if this works for the z5 compact as well; then I might even buy one too!
Thanks for your reply. I found a entry with QuickShortCutMaker named: com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings. I insert my account details but the phone to not register. The entry tells me: Incoming calls deactivated. and I also cannot call out. In previous versions I saw a dialog how I ant to dial: SIM or SIP. After the the above steps I only can call out via SIM not SIP.
I also have the same problem using Android 6 on a LG G3. After adding an SIP Account using the activity "com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings", theese accounts are visible and can be enabled by calling the activity "com.android.server.telecom.settings.EnableAccountPreferenceAcitivity" - but the integration in the dialer is missing. So on an outgoing call there is no selection for the account to use.
On Android 6 on Samsung S5 Neo it works fine by using the activity "...PhoneAccountSettingsAcitivity" but this action does not exist on the LG G3 Android. There is an action "...SipPhoneAccountSettingsAcitivity" but it does not work.
What type of SIP calling is this?
Is this VoLTE SIP calling that would let you make a SIP Voice call using TMO's VoLTE services? Or is this some other type of SIP calling, like making a call through Google Hangouts?
