Is there anyway to hide the contacts saved on your SIM?
That is, at the moment I have all my contacts saved on the phone with their full details, I also have a basic copy of my contacts saved on my SIM for when the SIM is placed into my second phone
But when I open up the Caller ID contacts by default it shows all contacts, both on phone and SIM so I end up getting duplication.
I know I can set the view to Contacts only every time I go into it but I would prefer a more default way of doing it.
Also I'm finding that Caller ID contacts takes a while to open and list all contacts even when my SIM card is empty, is this normal?
Thanks for any help.

Yes... use Search on "showsim"!

It is not a program - it is a registryvalue.
Search teh registry for the value "ShowSim" and set it back to "1" instead of "0".
Use totalcommader for it.
And the simcontacts are back again.
But that is what it shoud do - Hide the contacts.
lol
It is function for WM5, but in WM6 don't exist registry value "ShowSim"

It only inserts a reghack. you can do it your own next time. BTW - why don´t you synchronize with outlook. I don´t have any number on sim card. hehe
I know im wierd but is there a way to have it ONLY show Sim contacts in the default contact manager in WM6? And likewisw when you create a new contact that it gets saved to the Sim and not the phone? That's the way i had it set on all my previous phones (non-smart ones like my Razr) Is when i created a contact it'd save aucomatically to the Sim. I know i can create a Sim contact in Sim Manager so that part isnt really a huge deal. I'd just like for my contact list to only load them from the Sim. If that is an option. Or just ShowSim = 1 and delete the contacts on the phone?
oh and btw i found this thread by using the search function

I have a problem with this. I use the hidesim and set the value to 0 and the Sim-contacts do not show. So far so good, but after a soft reset they are back again......What can I do to solve this?
I have a Touch Cruise with WM6.
many thanxs on the FILE u upload !!!! i was about to ask it as well .
i'll just add that I normally used Advanced Configuration tool since TNT ROMS always had it installed. I did use it in a couple of other ROMS too.
you don't need to delete SIM Contacts! Use RilhasHideSIM that work after soft reset.

Hello,
i lost all my contacts on my SimCard because i deleted it..
Is there a tool or something, what is able to restore it?
I would be so glad
never heard about such a thing
but if it's flash based and you can get some usb thingy which reads sims directly and support usb massstroage cntrl then you can undelete using any normal windows undelete tool
Copy to contacts
Hi,
Didn't you copy all your informations to the Contacts part of your pda before deleting the contacts on your sim ?
It's two different things with the same content, much or less, so you may recover one from the other.

Currently I am seeing the contacts from the SIM as well the contacts from Outlook, is there any way I could see only the Outlook contacts?
Thank you in advance,
MOS
Normally only way is to delete contacts from SIM.
Not sure it's such case with TC...
You can switch this option on/off using "Schap's advanced configuration tool". (and alot of other settings)
edit: "search" and "google" are your friends
Please do say more about the Schap tool ...
i would also like to know! SIM contacts with outlooks ones get annoying, especially when searching
Go to Hkey_Current_user\Control Panel\Phone\ShowSim. Set the value to 0 to disable, 1 to enable.
Alternative key
navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
locate DWORD value named "ShowSim"
set its value to 0

Hi,
I've tryed to hide the sim contact, but with no success: I change the registry-key (with Schap's tool and manually too), but when I soft-reset the divice the default value (1) is restored.
Other change in the registry work properly...
Where is the problem?
Anyone knows how can I do that?
I have added many contacts to my Vox. I need to flash it now, and don't want to loose them. So is there some app which can copy all of my contacts to my SIM card?
Also, will apreciate if someone tells me a way to make default: every contact I add, goes to my SIM card.
Thanks.

Go to:
Start->Expert->SIM Manager->Menu->Select All->Menu->Contacts to SIM
thank you..i've been looking for the solution too. don't realize it's that easy
I just came from the Tilt and on the Tilt you can store SIM contacts and not show on your regular contacts.
On my Fuze, it shows both...how do I hide the SIM contacts so it doesnt show on the main contact folder?
I'm also interested if there is a way to do this.

Use the software name "Diamond Tweak"... there is an option for this
If you don't want to install the program, try this
Hide SIM Contacts: HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone - create a new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0
THANK YOU!
If you download the Advanced Configuration tool theres a drop down menu for this option as well.
there is also a cab, search nikisimfix
Don't ask to be spoonfed.
That could have been answered with a simple search.
Hello people
with my touch cruise I have a small but annoying problem.
I have all the SIM contacts in the phone together with the normal contacts and this creates double contacts.
I have tried to modify the register HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Phone --> Show Sim from 1 to 0 and this works great only in the contacts.
When I access the phone and look for contact by using the Smart Diealing, I continue to have double the contacts that is very annoying.
Is there any work around to solve this issue ?
thanks for helping

Only way around this known to me is to delete contacts from SIM.
Which, IMHO, is not a bad thing - SIM is very limited regarding data it can store for each contact. And you will regulary make backups/syncs, right?

Yes. U R right but the SIM is the only safe back-up I have.
Anyhow I will follow your suggestion. The risk is worth .
It remains a silli limitation for a mobile so advanced and with a SO on board.
Thanks for the assistance.

Regarding SIM being only backup.... you do have SD card in your Polaris?
I'm using PIM Backup (scheduled) to auto-backup daily all contacts, messages and tasks to my SD card. Then you only have a matter of copying those backups to your PC, CD, DVD... whatever...
It's freeware and fits my needs for unattended backup.
Of course, I do also have a sync with Outlook...
Thanks for the suggestion. I will follow this.
