Hi to all of you!
I'm a new member from Slovenia. Just got my Touch Cruise today. Very nice device I must say but I am having some problems already. First problem is the contact list. I copied all my contacts from SIM card to the phone. After that, I erased all contacts on the SIM card, so the contacts are only saved on the device. If I for example search a certain contact by writing a first few letters, every contact can be found as it should be. The problem starts when I browse these contacts only with my finger by ''pushing'' them up or down. In this case not all contacts are visible. Does anybody know why are some contacts not visible if I browse the list that way? I hope you understand what I'm trying to tell you. Hope some of you has the answer for this.
Thanks for your help. Great forum BTW

Hope u find this helpful
Try installing the PCManager
http://www.pocketcm.com/
and to hide sim contacts:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
Change ShowSIM from 1 to 0 and reboot.
Maybe someone confirm that the above reg edit works.

Are you sure you do not have the contacts filtered? In Windows Mobile, you can assign contacts to categories and there is an option to filter them using a menu item. Doesn't sound likely from your scenario, but perhaps it is something this simple?

I did this and after reboot it went back to the way it was before (showing SIM and phone contacts)...

Thanks mate. Works for me too. Though I did solve the problem partially manually with Outlook, but your solution seems more elegant. Thanks!

Hello,
The hide_sim.cab does not work in my Touch Cruise. After a soft reset of the contacts SIM become visible.

Is regedit preloaded into a Tilt 8925 or does someone know of a place to download it from. I don't see it in task mgr.
Hi
I couldnt find anywhere, i thought this question was ovious.
in my sim card, i have contact name mark with /m or /h or /w for mobile, home, and work. for exemple ''Jonh/m'' means jonh cell phone.
and i have some thing like this
jonh /h 514-248-4535
jonh /w 514-234-7854
Jonh /m 514-234-5665
when i tranfer it to my phone, it have exactly the same structure.
There is some way to merge it togerter under the same name with different categories for mobile and work and home number and so on?
one other thing is how to hide SIM contact, beacause once you have transfered your contact list to your phone, in contact list of the phone, it showed duplicated contact.
sorry for my english.
thank.
Any one?
Do i in the wrong forum or section?
NO, SIM Contacts are basic information, it would serve you better to just add your contacts using outlook if you have it, back up your outlook contacts any time you make any changes.
If you don't have outlook, PIM Backup works well for managing your contacts from the phone, just dont restore a backup from PIM and then try syncing with outlook that is already populated, you will get double listings, use one as your primary and the other as an emergency if you use both.
You can hide SIM contacts useing a tweak tool, kaiser tweak unfortunatley has to be adjusted after each reset for that setting. There is another tool similar that does work even after resets, just becareful using it on a kaiser, I ran into some sereous crashes adjusting things that varied in the kaiser with it, Unfortunately I cant remember who made it (Dutty tends to load it up in his roms)
Another option is to use a contact replacement program, I use "Finger Fiendly Friends", it filters out sims, I think Pocket CM filters them also. iContact at this time does not.
I hope this has answered your questions.

wow MoonNah very very nice widget. Was looking for this a long time. but I do have a problem. this widget automatically shows my first contacts in the phonebook, but not those who actually have their birthday, furthermore when i push the sms button, nothing happens and one last thing. it is not possible to move it past half of the screenheight in edit mode
maybe you know, what may cause this

You have contacts in the phone or SIM card, the widget reads only from the phone.

The right-wing will become active only if today is the birthday, otherwise they are inactive. Activity you will see when the contact and date of birth will be green as a 4 screenshot first post.
With moving down, we must analyze not pay attention.
Else you have described must be corrected by clicking on the widget and updating of data widget.
Updated the cab makes it possible for a bug with the inability to move the widget to the bottom of the layer. Look 1 post.
Hi MoonNah,
very well done, thank you. I have to try it because there are so many people around me, which birtday i forget every time .
One hint for the naming convention of widgets (actual).
old_ = BL_Group BirthdayWidget.cab
new = CHTW_BL Group_BirthdayWidget_v1.0.cab

the moving down works now^^ but the other problem still remains. I let the widget show 3 contacts in sms mode. The widget is simply displaying the first 3 contacts in my contacts list. Furthermore the numeber displayed in the cake of those three people is alway 410. and their birthday is all the sam which is the first of january 1601^^ and I know that this is not the case^^
I wasnt sure what you meant with updating the data widget. I clicked on the widget, but nothing happenend. I even tried it with 3G active but still nothing
Edit:
All these three persons had no birthday inserted, dont know why But now I changed the birthday and the one contact really works. So by default it seems to be, that if there is no birthday inserted the birthdate is the 01.01.1601.
But still....a friend of mine has his birthday in 4 days, but he is not displayed. The birthdate is of course inserted. I dont know, but shouldnt the widget display the next birthdays?^^

Who does not work please send me a widget on [email protected] their contacts database (file pim.vol), to identify causes of errors, after testing ensures removal of these bases.

after reinstalling it works now^^ sry to be bothering you the whole time^^ but the default date for a contact without a birthday inserted is qutite annoying. The widget does show 2 contacts with their birthday before the first of january. But one contact of mines birthday is on the 4th of january. his birthday should be displayed, but it wont, because a contact without a birthday inserted by default has his birthday on the 01.01.1601. I mean this is just annyoing until the 2nd of january, but still. this default birthday is quite disturbing

Just looking at your database I can find out the cause of errors in my database is great, and judging by klichestvu downloads and problems encountered, it is still special cases, and they must be solved privately.

It is at the root of the phone next to the folder Windows, using the File Manager (Resco Ehplorer, Total Comander) copy it like a memory card and then transfer to the PC and send it to my mail, I shall understand the reason for the error.
Look my screenshot (selected file)/
Hi MoonNah,
yes received and file is on the way, better the link... and thank you for your response...

Put your base in the phone book only 4 days of birth and date of birth there is certainly wrong for 2 years of age usually do not have phones in people. But even in this form widget job correctly, you have to deal with the firmware.
Could you create group in your contacts ?
(I think there is a problem about that)
The stock Android contacts kinda sucks. You can do groups online on your PC but you cant see or use groups on the phone. You will have to use a 3rd party app on the phone. I like RocketDial myself. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=intelgeen.rocketdial.trail
You can do it

I made it work on my wife's phone. I was confused at first until research showed that Android dropped the familiar group contact maker in 5.0 where it worked so well in Kit Kat. I went to make a new contact and on the name section, I typed the first name, made a space then typed all of the other names I wanted in the group. They were all pre-existing contacts and they stacked up very nicely. Save the contact and when you go back to your contacts, you will see it listed. I had some worries about whether all parties in the group would see all responses from the others and it worked just fine. It has been a while and the phone is down now with a mysteriously cracked screen but I think that is pretty much how to do it. Good luck.
