Copy contacts to SIM card - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I have tried Contact2Sim and Copy to SIM Card application to copy but it does not work on my HTC Hero ever since I upgraded to 2.0 (custom rom).
I also tried to export to contact to vcf and my import option does not show SIM even though I have enabled to show SIM.
I can manually add 1 contact to SIM entry. Hence, I don't think my SIM card has any problem.
Please advise if this is a known issue or is there any workaround?
Thanks

Getting contacts onto SIM

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10381&highlight=sim
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also, if you have / install an AKU3 ROM (currently available for the Wizard, Universal and the Alpine), you'll be able to directly access your messages from inside Messaging.
Heres the SIM Messages v0.04b zip, works great on my magician (WM2003SE)

Contacts Application problem

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)

Save new contacts to SIM by 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?
Fix
Download Diamond Tweak from Montecristoffon's page from montecristoff.webs.com
Scroll down to SIM Contacts and change to Show then Exit and it should work.

How to transfer contacts from big sim card or sd card?

I'm buying a One S and it only has a micro sim. How in the world do I transfer my contacts from my sd card or regular sim card? I know I can cut my sim card but I rather not do that...
There's an app for that...
Backup your contacts to your google email account...once you sync the one s to the google account your contacts will sync to the one s...no sim card or micro ad card needed.
Sent from my HTC One S
call your phone service provider do the transfer for you. simple and easy
you can also use the sync which is offered in one of the steps you get when you start your phone first time. just choose your old phone model from a list, turn bluetooth on and let it sync what you want.
