Is there a way to toggle hiding and showing sim contacts / sms? I like keeping a copy of my contacts on sim in case I have an emergency and need to switch phones. But at the same time, I'd like to use phone based storage since it'd allow me to add voice tags / photos.
Thanks
bump, thanks!
show/hide sim contacts
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Phone]

wow thanks a ton! that was fast! now I need to look for a good regedit tool.
I'm guessing if I dig around, there's probably a similar dword for show hide sim sms?
you can dig as much as you want, but reqtweak for hiding sim sms do not exist

Why don't you sync to Outlook and delete everything from Outlook? That way all your contacts on the phone gets deleted and the only thing visible would be SIM contacts.
Go to programs > system Tools > Advanced Config and scroll down to phone. Choose Show Sim contacts and change the value at the bottom to NO.

Please read before posting. OP wants to only show SIM contacts.
<EDIT> Decided to keep looking through the forum and found this post. I'll try it tonight. Thanks.

Is this something that is only available in Dutty's ROM or should I see this on my Tilt with the standard ROM I purchased the device with? I would love to be able to turn off the SIM view if I could. Considering flashing the ROM, but not sure I want to jump in yet (I'm no techie!).
Thanks,

No there is the KAisersimfix.cab, the program just mentioned above and the Kaisertweak. All of which is searchable.
You're too quick! I kept on searching while you were replying and ended up finding it.
Thanks.
is their a way to show only the contacts on phone memory? It shows both my contacts on sim and phone memory. Or do i just have to delete my sim contacts? I got the Tilt with the att wm6 rom
use Schapps Advanced Config
search the forums for download
ok, i'm in a good mood, i'll attach cab.
wow, nice program. thx a bunch!
Having same problem, SIM contacts show even after checking DO NOT SHOW with Schapps Advanced Config and then soft reset. If I don't do SR SIM contacts do not show.
Use Kaiser tweak (a must have!!!) - you have there an option that says:
Contacts
\Sim Contacts
"Show or hide the contacts stored on your SIM card from the Contact screen. Note: This option is reset when you reset your device"
Slide Options:
Show (default)
Hide (Advised)
Select "Hide"
That should take care of it...
Try my KaiserSimFix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334702
Continues to work even after soft-reset for OEM roms.

CAB in post 5 worked on my device, Thanks.
In my contacts I have 5 contacts with a icon similar to the sim card icon, with a lock on them.
The contacts have the name '<Unnamed>'
I do not know how these contacts got there in the first place. I do not have the option to delete/edit and the contacts are empty.
How do I get rid of them?
I have the same problem . they appeared after i installed the 6.1 rom. They appear to be the phone provider numbers (vodafone). They all have lcoks on them and i cant remove them either.
I have the same problem with my Orange TyTN II with Windows Mobile 6.1.
This is just one of the many, many reasons I despise Microsoft. They are trying to turn computers into something that they and other large corporations control instead of the paying customer. And as for Orange, well, it seems their management or software development team - or both! - are complete morons.
Can anyone give me a clue how to get rid of these annoying intrusions?
try
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim 0 = hide, 1 = show

Yes, this are pre-set contacts on your SIM card. They are saved on your SIM by your service provider. The editing of the above registry key lets you at least hide the SIM contacts in your contact list. That does not mean they are no longer there, you just do not have to see them any longer.
I was able to delete them using SBSH's PocketBreeze. I just went to Contacts Tabs and it let me delete them.
Unnamed new contacts
I have a little problem and I don't know how to fix it.
I have contacts only on my mobile phone, on my sim card is empty-see contacts on sim card is disable.
When I got new call, from unknown person, I have info that I can add this contact to my list as a new or add to already exist. I want add as a new, so i'm writing all important info: name,last name,number... and new contact I see as a "unnamed". PLEASE .. help me fix it.
Ps. Phone HTC HD, WM 6.5 with manila 2.5 v 21.1.
Hello all,
When I am typing a contact name while writing a new text message,
it has somekind of auto-complete and it shows me contacts to select in order to send the message to.
I did the tweak which hides SIM contacts when navigating through poutlook but they are still there in the new text message interface.
Is there a way to not show SIM contacts in text message and emails too?
(I dont want to erase my SIM card).
thank you all.

no it doesnt.
the fiture of 'show sim contacts' under 'phone' is set to 'NO'.
I dont see any sim contacts in poutlook but the auto-complete in the sms section still uses contacts from sim.
maybe there is another tweak..
i have the same problem. Also, contacts retrieval only works when using T9 as input (no suggestion/search for contacts when u use any of the querty keyboards with T9 disabled)

Dude in the stock contacts app follow these steps and you can save your conacts to sim and also view sim contacts
Hit Menu > More > Display Options > Sim > and tick All Contacts (Contacts in sim card will not be shown in Airplane Mode)
or you can also use an app called ContactsToSIM
Hit Thanks if I helped

I do not think so. As far as I know, the stock ROM is odexed and Cm is deodexed.
