How do I do this? im runnning energyROM 32609
The only way that I know how is to delete every contact on the phone(Make sure that they are all backed up on the sim first) then go to advanced config in you programs and set it to see contacts.

What is the easiesit way to get all of my contacts onto the SIM?
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
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.

I have a Ipaq 514 with wm 6.0 for a couple of days now and allready found a bug which really annoys me...
I can not seem to keep my sim contacts hidden, i tried:
settings -> phone -> call options -> Show SIM contacts (unchecked)
registry editor:
HKCU>ControlPanel>Phone>
Set Dword Value "ShowSIM to 0" if does not have dword value create it.
This both works, but only for a while, when i reboot the device or even when i check my email, the sim contacts show up again
For my Tytn II i have a cab file: KaiserSimFix.cab that hides the contacts.
Is there a simmular solution for smartphones?
Delete the SIM contacts and store them on the mobile? I have too many contacts with multiple numbers to store on SIM anyways. Back them up regularly and sync it with AS.
Also, ensure that you are setting the registry key, waiting about 20s and then soft resetting for it to stick.

Thanks but i dont want to delete them from my sim, i allways put my contact both on sim and in the phone to sync with outlook.
Also i tried resetting after the registry tweak but that doesnt make any differance.
But is this a common thing on smartphones or is it just my ipaq? because i also have a old wizard with wm6.0 that doesnt have that problem...
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?
