I have transferred all my contacts from my mobile phone SIM to my XDA
using the SIM manager. I have now updated my contacts on my XDA
adding addresses and other details.
If I want to transfer these updated contacts back to a SIM, what
details will go across to the SIM? Is it just name and telephone
number?
Thanks.
i think that what your cellphone can display as contact info is what the sim can hold infomationwise
sim contacts
Only the basic names and mumbers will be saved on sim.
If you want tho save the full addresses etc then you need to save your contacts file in full to your memory card, or to your PC. You can also save using backup.
You can also save them in outlook.
Its a real pain but the PDA looses everything but the basics if the battery goes down.

Sometimes, I leave my XDA II behind and use my SPV. I'd like to just swap SIMs and take the contacts with me.
Is there a quick way to do this?
Can the contacts be permantly on the SIM and still sync with ActiveSync?
Thanks in anticipation.
i believe that the sim manager does that

here if your rom dont have it
otherwise i suppose you could enter contacts and open the keyboard and press ctrl a and choose all contacts and tab and choose save to sim
Thanks Rudegar. That worked.
Interestingly, with Radio Off it doesn't allow copying of the contacts the the SIM.
I've no idea why. Just seems a bit odd.
well if i go flight mode on and off
i have to retype my pincode so that could make one asume
that when it's off the whole sim is off
Hi, i got a "problem" with the contacts application.
It shows my SIM contacts. I have copied all SIM contacts to my device, so i can put pictures and set other information about my contacts. But now the contact application shows the SIM contacts and the DEVICE contacts..so basically i see the same contact twice.
Does any1 know how to fix this, without deleting the contacts from the SIM card ofcourse?
Thanks
no one willing to help?
See my post on contact sorting ...
I haven't tried myself, but try to set
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSIM
to 0
and let us know if it works.
edit: I checked and the value exists and is currently set to 1 (show sim contact)
Hi,
I got Gen.Y 5.5 ROM with Sense 2.1.
Now the problem is that when I open the phone, dial a number and choose to save it to contacts then there's no option where to save the contact - it only saves it to phone memory.
I like to use SIM and store my contacts on SIM only. So I have to manually copy the new contacts to SIM.
Is there a registry key or something to change so that the default save destination is SIM card not phone contacts.
TIA
I have the same promblem
could somebody help us?

Scroll down to SIM Contacts and change to Show then Exit and it should work.
I'm buying a One S and it only has a micro sim. How in the world do I transfer my contacts from my sd card or regular sim card? I know I can cut my sim card but I rather not do that...
There's an app for that...
Backup your contacts to your google email account...once you sync the one s to the google account your contacts will sync to the one s...no sim card or micro ad card needed.
Sent from my HTC One S
call your phone service provider do the transfer for you. simple and easy
you can also use the sync which is offered in one of the steps you get when you start your phone first time. just choose your old phone model from a list, turn bluetooth on and let it sync what you want.
Hi people!
I have an HTC Windows 8X phone locked to AT&T.
I'm a newbie to the forum so please don't hang me for asking but is there any way to backup other phone info besides your app settings?
I had to do a reset but using the cloud backup only allowed my programs and a few other things.
My phonebook, wireless settings, email settings, icon placement etc had to all be redone.
I know it does the apps, pix and texts but I'd at least like to have my phonebook if nothing else.
I had my old phonebook copied from my old phone (a Moto on AT&T) and they (AT&T) copied my phonebook from the old
SIM to the new one. I was then able to copy from the SIM to the phone... but you can't copy back to the SIM so any and all
contact updates and corrections can't be stored on the SIM again for future transfers back and they aren't backed up to the cloud.
I actually do like the phone, I just wish they'd give you more options as to what to back up so I don't have to wind up
writing down all my contacts for manual re-entry should something go haywire.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
