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)

I would also very much be interested to learn how to disable the display of SIM contacts by the phone's Today plugin. I looked at the registry quickly but nothing seems intuitive about disabling this. I was told in other forums that this is not possible. Any confirmation on this or ideas?
Has anyone been able to disable the showing of SIM contacts in the Today quick dial plugin? Also, is there a way to show names by First name, Last name in this plugin instead of the other way around?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have explored the whole registry but couldn't find a way to hide sim contacts from aprearing in today's Dial up look up. Anyone has any idea how to hide sim contacts from appearing in Dial up look up?
I have already made changes in reg for contacts so now in my contacts i don't see sim contacts but still appear in Dial up look up.
?

Hi
That Solution only works for contacts, i have been using it since day one, but somehow i'm unable to find any registry setting to hide sim contacts in dialup lookup.
But that registry change should work for contacts.
I recently installed WM6.Crossbow.WWE.HTC.Wizard.v5.2.660. Had no problems and then all of a sudden my contacts disappeared. Caller id works and recieved sms shows contacts name.. have i changed a setting to not show sim contacts? Is there a setting to do that?? any help would b great
Well, first of all, when installing a new ROM everything in the phone memory gets wiped, including contacts, but you already know that.
Regarding contacts on your SIM, that is what I think you are referring, they are not touched, but most cooked ROMs have a setting in the reg to hide those contacts.
You have 2 options in here:
1- Edit your registry, go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone. Look for the key ShowSim, it should have a 0, change it to 1. With this you Sim contacts will show in your contact app.
2- This is the most effective solution, however. Go to the Sim Manager app in programs. There you will find all your Sim contacts. Tap Menu, Select all, Menu again, save to contacts. With this you will have a more flexible way to manage them.
Cheers.
I disagree, i've tried almost every rom on XDA for wizard since june 06 and almost everyone shows sim contacts as a default.

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.
Hi,
I have around 7 contacts with padlock symbols that I cant remove from my SIM card. I dont want to hide them, I wish to delete these contacts. However in the sim manager, the delete option is greyed out for each one of the contacts.
Has anyone got any other ideas how to delete them?
I've tried deleting the pim.vol file ... which makes these contacts disapear, but rebooting the phone they re-appear. I've also put the sim in on a non MS phone and cant see the contacts on their. Anyone got any ideas?
