Hi,
When I view my contact, I have first my phone contacts followed by my sim contacts.
I there a way so that I only have my phone contacts in my contact?
Thanks in advance.

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 had the need to drop a friend's SIM into my Treo 750 in order to access some numbers stored on it. Sadly she had voicemails waiting to be listened to on her account, which generated the voicemail icon on the top line of the Treo together with the "Voicemail" soft-button.
Now I've gone back to my own SIM and they're still there! Even a soft-reset doesn't remove them. I've tried selecting "Voicemail > Listen" many times without success.
Is there a registry key I can clear which tells the Treo I've no voicemails?
TIA,
Steve

What you can try is calling your phone from another phone and leaving another voicemail message. Then from your phone, call and erase it. After you erase it, don't hang up - just press ** and it will hang up for you.
This has worked for me in the past.
If not, you might have to hard reset the phone. Its not that bad, I have done it twice.
After I upgraded to WM 6.1 I don't see the names of contacts when they're calling me. Is there a fix for this? I thought it had something to do with the countrynumber, though now I think that's not the case.
Huh? It should not be the case.
However, Schap's Advanced config tools have one setting where you can control how many digits phone uses to recognize contact.
I have all contacts in international format (+countrynumbernetworknumberphone number) and have set number of digits to 9 (default is 8).
Of course, networknumber is without leading zero.
Or if you have multiple entries for same contact, phone could be confused and display only number, not name.
But I guess that's not the case...
Synchronizing
I Synchronized the phonenumbers of the phone with my desktop. It now seems allright. I now see the names of the people who are calling.
BTW: I did a backup with Sprite software. I think something went wrong here.
Greetings, all;
I am having a problem with my unlocked Treo that is driving me batty. The device "forgets" some of my contacts when I am composing an SMS.
The contacts never actually dissapear from the phonebook, and I can always start an SMS from the Contacts page, but when I start typing a name in the "To' line on the new SMS page, some names are just not there anymore.
It's never the same name, and doing a soft reset corrects the problem... for about a day.
Any ideas what might be happening here? Thanks for the advise!

I would suggest that you backup your contacts using some free program such as TCB (total contacts backup) or PPC Contacts backup. Just back them up into a file in a folder in the phone or storage card. Then go back to the program and try to restore the contacts and choose the option of overwriting the existing contacts.
Also if you are referring to the drop down list when you choose list of contacts. Keep in mind that the list is only for people you have texted before, this not a list of contacts reflecting the phone book
yes.
i also have this same problem.
it seems like there are limited contact that showed in messaging box.
For example,
i have 20 contacts whose name is started from letters : "Sa"
but when i type "Sa" in the destination number on messaging box,
it is limited only to 10 contacts which is started from letters "Sa".
So the next 10 contacts is not showed up.
is there any possibility to tweak on registry to expand this limit ?
Pls help...
thanks a lot !

i had the same issue as well.....one contact wasn't showing up.
2 things. make sure that that contact's number has been saved as his/her mobile number, not home or anything.
secondly, just restart or something. the problem went away for me later.
Actually, the missing contacts issue happens in many application. And the search results depends randomly.
For example, I got 2 "Sherry" in my contacts from OutLook in my PC. And pretty aware that I keep the phone number in the right field.
Type Sherry in Today, I got 2 Sherry listed.
Type Sherry in Contacts, I got nothing.
Thpe Sherry in SpeedDial Setting(Link to Contacts), I got nothing.
Type Sherry in To field in New Message, I got 2 again!?!?
Very unpredictable!!! And different name will yield very different results.
Customer Rep from Palm suggest me to do a Hard Reset. But I don't think it will help, however I'll try it.
Hoping to get the solution here!!! Thanks in advance.
The wired search result is gone after I upgrade my Treo750 from WM6 to WM6.1 with a Special Cooked ROM(Build 19199).
After the upgrade, my data had been synced from OutLook again. I'm not sure whether ROM upgrade or data sync did resolve the problem.
Anyway, I'm happ again with my Treo750 again!!

Wired things again................
Treo 750 will freeze (no input from touch panel nor keyboard) when I entered the edit screen of the contact person which founded in Lookup field in "Today".
But editing the contact person in the "Contacts" application will not freeze.
The edit screens in the above cases are pretty the same except the upper left corner shows "Start" and "Contacts" separately.
Any help??? Thanks in advance.
I have a problem and I thought I'd see if anyone knew how to fix it. Prior to installing the goodlink client, when I pressed the green button and got a list of my prior calls, I'd also be able to use the 4-way and choose other numbers from my outlook contacts list for that contact. After installing goodlink, I only see the name and can't choose from a list of numbers. Anyone know what reg key will fix this?
