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
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.
i put it so in the contacts it only shows contacts from my phone and not the sim card or google account, but if im txting, and try to add a contact, it always shows 2 of everybody...how can i stop this from happening?
Mine does this too, I know that contacts are both on my phone and sim card, though my contacts list is set to only display contacts on my phone.
It hasn't really bothered my so far, but if I can get rid of the duplicate showing up, might as well
I noticed this to when I go to text and start typing the person name it shows 2 of them hasn't really bothered me.
oh ok, just wondering if i was the only person with the problem lol...i think imma test it out by removing all the contacts from my phone and leaving them just on the sim and seeing what happens...
I only have my phone contacts showing on my phone. I do not have double contacts in my "phone contacts" section. I only get double contacts when I and going to type a text message. Very strange glitch.
I just upgraded from myt3g (didn't have sim contacts problem), before that some crap phone I forgot. But on my new sensation, My SIM contacts are present (duplicates of what I have in my gmail contacts) and I'd like to delete them. I hold down and click delete but that doesn't work. I go to the delete menu and select all the ones that are SIM and delete, but that doesn't work either.
Any way to delete SIM contacts?
So if you go into your contacts, press the menu button, and select view, you should be able to uncheck the sim option which should remove them from your list. Have you tried that yet?
Is it possible that they got synced to you're google account when you initialized the phone right when you got it? Or the person helping you set it up did it for you?
Delete Sims contacts
On Sensation
Goto Contacts app
hit menu > view > uncheck all, leaving only sim contacts checked > done
hit menu > delete > select ones you want to delete or select all > delete
back > view > recheck contacts you want displayed (google)
I've installed many sim contact apps. None of them worked! Thanks
Sorry, you can't delete SIM contacts as far as I know. If you try deleting them it will show a deleting progress bar but nothing happens. You can delete contacts from other sources however.
I took my sim out, borrowed someone else's regular phone and deleted it from there.
Really retarded how you can't even ignore the sim contacts.

Yes you can delete your SIM contacts. If you do not know how to do a simple thing doesn't mean it can't be done.

Don't you think I already did that? I wrote earlier and explicitly said that it didn't work. I did exactly as you quoted. I even told you there was a progress bar that showed it was being "deleted." And like I mentioned it did nothing.
I moved my sim to another phone and it deleted it just fine. I could however, delete contacts from other sources, just not the SIM sources. Maybe you modified your phone to do stuff differently, my phone is a rooted stock ROM.

I have done this in 3 different HTC mobiles out of the box when I bought them with stock ROM and not rooted so if you still can not do it maybe there is something wrong with your phone and you should check it.

This is just stupid. Why isn't there a simple setting for this ??????
With the different apps you can choose to move/copy contacts to SIM and delete contacts from SIM etc. But why not a default
"Show only contacts from"
-SIM
-Phone
-SIM & Phone
-Whatever
and NO, there is no "View" setting on my phone
Anyone got a tip on an app that can actually do what I want ? Which is to show only the contacts which are on the phone and only the ones that I choose ?

I don't want to move or copy or delete anything. I just want to hide it on the phone.
SIM card deletion
I had the same problem with my HTC Sensation.
1. Remove the back cover (Do not remove battery)
2. Gently move your SIM card around to improve connection
3. Try to remove contacts again.
Hope this helps!
Has anybody figured out how to get rid of those annoying contacts....I know how to hide them, but in Hangouts they still show up when composing a new hangout. I'd like to get rid of them permanently, I tried sim card manager off the playstore but it did not work.
