All my contacts are in the regular contact option, but when I tap on an empty slot in "favorite people" the contact list only shows the "built in" contacts (pay bill, etc), none of my personal entries appear.
I have the latest (I think) 6-tab version of htc home on my AT&T Tilt.
Are your contacts all on the SIM card?
I believe so. The salesman transfered them to the sim when I bought the Tilt.
ok, here's what your going to do. Go into the sim manager (I don't have the tilt rom so you need to interpret and do detective work) then copy all your sim contacts to contacts (on the phone). Then search this forum for kaisersimfix.cab or something like that (because your contacts will double in your contact manager... sim/and phone ... the fix removes the sim listings)
Then you're set.
Thanks, that did it.

In trinity, when you copy contacts from sim to phone, u only see phone contacts. So you can edit and save more information under contacts stored on phone. However, in Kaiser, when you enter sim card, all sim contacts are already shown under contacts and sim contacts have limited editing. So in case you copy contacts from sim to phone, it makes it double in conatcs, showing two entries, one saved on phone and one on sim.
Is it possible to view only phone stored contacts without actually deleting contatcs from sim. I want original contacts to be stored on the sim. But copy of them should be in phone with extended informations like 2nd numbers, address, emails etc. But how to avoid two enteries? How to switch sim contacs off in "Contacts"???
I tried finding any solution but :-(.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I have a sim card with only 100 entries, so I have 200+ numbers in my old GSM phone. The Kaiser is my first PDA/XDA (what to call it?). I have a backup of all numbers, but I cannot see how I can get all these numbers into the Kaiser without entering all of them manually - or - copying 100 at a time, from the sim card. There must be some way of restoring contacts from file to the phone?
Of course I also want to be able to back up my contacts in the future (I am not using Outlook, btw). Software for that?
use sim manager, it's in the contact's menu button.

I have been there already. I am not looking for copying from sim to phone, but from a contacts file to the phone. Something like "Import ..." or "Import vCard". I used to use Oxygen Phone Manager, but it seems it does not work for PDAs, so I need to find similar program for PDA - also to back up all the info I have gathered in it by now ...
What do you plan to use to manage contacts on your PC? Once you've figured that out, import your file into it, then sync that with your PDA. There's no "Import from File" feature in WM.
Try NS Contacts .. http://nscontacts.nyxbull.net

Just guessing here -
The Sim card does not hold pictures - only the names and phone numbers.
When you save items to the sim and they are on your phone as well you wll display duplicates.
So - when you add pictures you are actually adding to the PHONE not the SIM so you are duplicating the information - you will want to remove the one on your SIM?

SIM contacts will ONLY allow the Name and Phone Number thats about it anything else like Photos, addresses, e-mail, etc. can ONLY be done on Phone Contacts, use SIM Manager in your programs and copy all contacts to your phone, if you don't want to see duplicates of contacts, use KaiserTweak or Advanced Configuration and adjust it to NOT show SIM contacts. But remember when a contact is added it will save to your phone not sim so you will need to make sure if you want to keep it you change it in both.
So I had this problem with several sim managers, but I'm currently using the latest one from HTC. I have 150 some odd contacts on my sim card. I'm trying to copy over all contacts from sim to contact list in the phone. But when I view them in Sim Manager, it only shows part of my list of contacts. About 60 or so. I can refresh the list all day, reboot the phone...but I can never get it to view all the contacts. If I remove my sim, and insert it in any other phone (have tried with Nokia e61 and blackberry curve) I can view all the contacts just fine on the sim card. But I'm trying to copy all of them to my Tilt, and for some reason it won't let me see them.
Has anyone had this problem or know of any fix? Thanks in advance!
No idea what the problem is but try this SIM Manager still prefer it over the new versions give it a shot....
I'll give it a try...I BELIEVE I've tried that one already... its the manager where you just have options to copy to contacts, copy to sim, delete from either...you cant actually see the sim phone book in edit form right? I think it didn't work with that previously, but I'll try anything!
I am having problems with my contacts. Thread here. Not making a lot of progress.
One suggestion I read somewhere was to delete my contacts from the SIM. But the Contact management software on the phone only allows copy to/from the SIM.
Anyone know how to delete contacts from the SIM on a Captivate?

I couldn't find way to delete all the contacts from SIM card all together. I've deleted them one by one.
Go to 'Contacts', here you'll see contacts marked with small sigh of SIM card. Hold you finger on the contact for 2-3 seconds. A pop-up menu will apper. The menu contains 'Delete' item. Choose it and the contact will be deleted from the SIM card.
I put the SIM in an older (Symbian) phone. That permitted wholesale deletion of the contacts.
Thanks for the tip. I put it back in my WinMo phone to delete them.
Tempting to make a wise crack
So far, the only thing I've found is "Contact Remover" on the market. I tried it after reading a post by Kak and android forums.

Like he says, you can't "organize" it based on sim or phone, but your sim card contacts will always be listed 1st.
So if you have

The 1st two will likely be from your sim card. I would export your contacts first, just in case and maybe double check their order by displaying both phone and sim contacts. It's not perfect, but it made it a heck of a lot easier than individually deleting!
