Sim card cloning

Any info on sim card cloning or a backup image(not just your phone numbers I mean everything that the sim has in it) but doing this with a smartphone.
Is it possible?

Look for a program called "Jeyo Mobile Companion". It should handle what you're trying to do.

i was looking for this but now it seems that its impossible

mods can you delete this thread please

Hi,
I have successsfully clones my SIM and have now the original one and three clones.
Basically you need to extract some values (KI and anotherone, which name I forgot) out of your original SIM. This is done through a Smartcard-Reader (Phoenix-Mode). The software you need is available for free, however all this is done by bruteforcing your SIM.
Recent SIM-cards are resistant against these attacks and will lock themselfs, which makes them useless: they will have to be replaced. When I say recent, that means all cards distributed in the last 5 years AT LEAST!
If you can read spanish, here is the only link you need: http://simemu.cjb.net
Also, if you succed in cloning your SIM, you should always pay attention TO NOT HAVE TWO CLONES TURNED ON AT THE SAME TIME, as the provider will naturally detect the same SIM to be connected twice.
What's nice about this is that you can actually clone different SIM's into on single smartcard and then change numbers/operators, without turning your phone on and off. Naturally you will be connected to only one number at any given time.
Hope this helps a little.

Doubled contacts

Hi guys,
I know that Diamond users had similar problem but I cannot solve this issue the way provided on Diamond forum. Or I'm doing something wrong :]
Reason - I've just copied my contacts from sim to TP and in Contact TAB i've got everything doubled.
I've tried:
1. Modify registry (ShowSim = 0) - doesn't help - after soft reset this value is still 1 (is registry locked? I've tried CeRegEditor with unlock registry option first - no effect and with TotalCommander - the same)
2. Tried advanced config for Diamont - No Sim contact, soft reset - nothing.
3. Tried this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1959449&postcount=4 - doesn't help.
Any other ideas?
Regards
B.

TBH Make a backup of your contacts as they are now (even if they are doubled)using PIMBackup....and delete the contacts from the SIM card. Atleast you have a backup on file off the device??
I havent used SIM memory for MANY years now.

Hmmm I've tried everything many times (mentioned below) and resigned.
Then after 2-3hours I've installed Green Battery soft, then restart and... now it works like hell !
I mean that no sim details in contacts.
So I have no IDEA with action fix this problem - a little confused now :?

Windows mobile will ALWAYS display your SIM contacts as well as contacts in the phone memory. There are plenty of third party apps out there that will stop this, or you can find the registry edit in the site somewhere.
Easiest way is to use something like Schaps 3, or that battery soft that you mention.
Can't understand why som many people insist on using SIM memory nowdays, when people hae multiple numbers, you end up with multiple contacts for the same people....
Well, each to their own i suppose.

My contacts were on SIM because I'vw switched from.....Nokia 6310i
Now I've fixed the problem manually (regedit) because AdvancedConfig tool doesn't help. Just funny thing that to save registry settings SHUT DOWN of device is required not soft reset.

Ah! One of the best handsets Nokia ever made. My Landlord has three, just in case one of them dies!
Great phones!
Although again, it came with Nokia PC Suite to sync to outlook, but it was a real PITA as it always puts the mobile numbers in the 'other' field in outlook so they don't get touched by activesync!
as for the soft reset thing, seems to work ok on mine. Change something in schaps 3, and soft reset when it tells me to and all seems to be well.
lol, well i guess that's why windows mobile is such fun huh??

whats registry setting did u change? AdvancedConfig isnt working for me either. I cant delete the sim contacts, cos its a temporary SIM. Ill have a blank SIM soon, but for now, I'd like to stop SIM contacts showing up.
Thanks
I just got it to work using AdvancedConfig. I said 'No' when it asked to soft reset. Then checked contacts and the SIM contacts are gone. No restart, no shut down, nothing. When i did this and said 'yes' to the soft reset, it didnt work. Odd

If you go into settings, Phone, Call options is there no longer a check box to not show SIM contacts as in WM6.0 phones?

You must change value
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim from 1 to 0
and then (very important) do not soft reset because value will be restored to 1
you must shut down TP - this information was provided by someone here and it works
BTW
Even if you switch off ShowSim option, for the first 10-30sek after booting TP you will find doubled contacts but then the sim contacts are dissapearing

Strange behaviour when searching contacts...

Hi to everyone,
probably this has already been investigated and/or solved (or not), I don't know, but I was not able to find anything related and I believe it is quite strange...
I was used (using WM6.0) to search contacts using keywords being present in the record in the following way:
- Open contact application (the application opens with the first line ready for input);
- place some text in the first line, such as "Richard"
- being presented from the application a list with ONLY contacts containing the word "Richard", either in the name, company name, address, notes, etc.
Well, I find this being impossible with my brand new VODAFONE TOUCH PRO (Raphael) I recently got:
- I open contact application (nothing strange till here...)
- I type just one letter (i.e. "R")
- the PDA immediately switches to PHONE MODE, placing a call to my first contact (I think so, havent been able to double check yet) whose name starts with "R" letter...
- I obviously have to immediately abort as I don't want to place an unwanted call...
This way the only chance I have to search my contacts is to PARSE them by hand, but having more than 2000 it's a really waste of time, beside the fact I can select the first letter the name starts with (and so no chances to find the keyword appearing in other fields...).
Is anyone else reporting the same problems ???
Is there some kind of setup setting I'm forgetting of ???
Really considering not to trash my BB...
Ciao

I wonder myself being the only one reporting such a problem and/or not being receiving any answer...
So I try raising my message up to your attention...

I've got the same problem. Its actually a little weirder than you wrote. Most letters work fine.
Pressing 'r', however, automatically dials whatever name you are on. Pressing 'w' inserts 'w*', which breaks the search (you can delete the * and then continue).
There may be other letter problems too. This is on a Sprint Touch Pro.
Anyone else?

BTW, the hard keyboard works fine.

I wonder if this problem exists also in other applications such as SMS??
i sometimes face a problem while writting an SMS, i press a character but suddenly i find the dialer activated...!!!
does this has anything to do with special characters?

"R" and "W*" on Sprint Touch Pro Contacts Search
I wish I had a solution, but can only chime in that I have had two Sprint Touch pro's and both have the same problem. If you call sprint, they haven't heard anything about it (supposedly) but it seems to be a problem with all sprint touch pros.

I have the same problem with my Sprint HTC Touch Pro. Don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help?

There is a number "1" on my taskbar

All of a sudden I notice a "1" on my taskbar. What is it, how can I remove it?
I've lost the ability to view my Wi-fi signal since this number is using it's spot.
Cheers,
Paul

i've never seen that before.... can you load a screenshot?

Here it is, notice left to the EDGE Icon.
Paul

Maybe it means that line number 1 is being used, I used to see that on Nokia phones but never on a WM device...

Dual line or sim card
Hi
I think that WM can display this number if it thinks you have a dual SIM card or two lines on your SIM card. How you might change lines, etc, I have no idea. I don't think the feature is fully supported in WM.

No Dual SIM here, and I don't have 2 lines on the phone. Out of nowhere it just appeared. I just want it to not be displayed>

Did you try to modify icons in the taskbar from the mui files? Cause if you did, maybe something got messed up during the change. When did it start? Was it at a random moment, after you up/downgraded your Rom, been happening since you got the device?...Also, does it keep on happening if you soft reset.

Nope, didn't try to modify anything in the windows / mui's, only once i installed the HTC Call Recorder, since it didn't work i uninstalled that, but that was in november. This happened in random about 3 days ago...i thought it was like an updated "voice mail messages". It hasn't gone away. It stays after soft resets, i even searched through options in advanced Config.
Paul

OK. Get a file explorer that lets you view hidden files, such as Total Commander. Then unhide all files. Search for image files, probably a .bmp. Find the image that looks like your number 1 (it'll look different, probably black and white), and find what folder it is in. That will give you an idea of what program is using the file. If it is just in the windows directory, find its properties IE when was it installed there. That might let you narrow it down to a day. It's a hard work around, but it should work.
Apart from Dual Sim, I don't know of any program that would put a 1 in your bar, except for 1xRTT.bmp.

Where should I unhide the files? Windows Folder?
Paul

THe "Unhide files" option usually unhides files across the whole device, not folder specific, much the same as in Windows XP. There may be other options about which files to unhide, you want to unhide ALL of them, including system files.

understood, but where would i seek the "1.bmp" file per say....

You would need to use the search tool and search for ALL .bmp files. And if it is not there, than ALL .png files. And if it is not there than ALL .jpg files. And if it is no there than ALL .jpg files. It shouldn't be any other extension. You would have to search through each group of images until you came to the one which you are seeing. It's a long drawn out process, but should solve your problem eventually, or at least provide you with a little more information on what's going on.

UPDATE
Here is an update on my issue:
When I turn on my Bluetooth, the number goes away.....but when I turn it off, it reappears. Will do the searches now from work.
Paul

I also have a number "1" in my task bar now. I recently changed providers and it apeared when i insertet my new sim-card. Using wifi, bluetooth or other program that creates a taskbar icon makes the "1" dissapear. I have no clue what it means or does. :/

[Q] Android Search n Rescue!

Hi im an N1 user and would like to ask if there is any app on the market which will help me with search and rescue of my phone.
It must be compatible with all versions of android (my sister is still having to work with 1.6 on the Tattoo!)
It must provide a facility wherein a background process will run and detect that a new SIM card has been inserted send the new SIM pin number (or better still the actual tel no of the sim inserted) to a predesignated number via SMS. This way, the GPS being on/off or the wifi/gprs/3G activity is not a requirement.
Probably the only workaround would be if the thief is smart enough to reinstall the entire OS on the phone before putting in the new SIM. (then i guess im just screwed!)
looking forward to the experts input here at xda.
Thanks.
