Trouble with contacts - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi everyone!
New to PDA phones! Im having trouble with adding contacts to my TyTN II, once added they don't show up in the contact list. It shows them in SIM manager and if i copy them to contacts from there they still dont show up! Also is there any way i can copy the contacts from my old N73 onto the TyTN II to save me hours of time???
Cheers guys!

Ok, so i have just bluetoothed all my contacts from the N73 to the TyTN II and saved them to my contact list but they still dont show up in the contacts!!! When i try to send the same contact again it asks to overwrite the contact already saved, same when i try to create a new one!! Its doing my head in!! Any ideas anyone?

sim
you need to go to your contacts in your sim and select all and then copy to contacts. that should help i think well thats what i did and all show up ok what rom are you using ie the origonal or have you flashed your rom with one like duty or alex ? as thire are a couple of cap files to fix bugs depending on which rom you use. i hope this helps as i know you have said you did that all ready.

I bluetoothed all the contacts straight to the phone, they are all there to copy to sim and when people call me it shows who is calling but when i go into the contacts list its blank. I have copied them to the sim card (they all show up in sim manager) and tried copying them back! No luck
I am running the original ROM

sim
sorry i cant help i know thire is an option to choose to use either sim for contacts or the phones contacts. but not sure where it is i think it might be in system then phone but dont take my word for it hope fully m8 some one on here who is more advanced than me might help you out. good luck

Cheers anyway buddy! I have had to put it down for now before i throw it on the floor! You cant get something good with no teething problems.

Sim contacts read wrong, doesnt lookup contacts in new sms

Hey everyone, having an issue with my TYTN II.
The contacts from my sim card have gone all weird.
They show up the second word first and do strange things.
i.e. if i had jim - john it shows up as -jim john.
if i had james c it shows up as c;james etc
and when im typing an SMS it wont autofind them, i have to hit the "to:" button and go in and find them, and its messed up cause its reading the names wrong...
Any help appreciated!
Hi mate,
I guess you did check the options of the contacts list... didn't you?
I don't think the Kaiser would mess them up without any external input
Err... although yesterday my Kaiser erased the whole contact list without saying a word! ...and against my will!
Had not checked the options, but did just then, couldnt find anything to change it
all of the contacts have a /1 after them, forgot to add that.
any thoughts?
cheers

How to delete locked contacts

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?

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.

Did you do some type of back up? Using what? What Rom are you using? Under Diamond Tweak and/or advanaced Config click on hide sim contacts.
texting
hi,
i have already cleared the sim and contacts and then gone on to enter back on to contacts, it still doesnt work.
i have had my phone for a week now.
maybe tmobile will eventually update this on the next rom update if possible?
but is there not an application to sort this out that i could get hold off?

ill try the diamconfig method and see
UPDATE: IT WORKS!!
how'd you know?
thats so weird too because i have no contacts on my sim..
right on man thanks
Actually I have a similar issue.
Stock T-Mobile MDA Vario IV
All contacts saved to phone memory, in the 07 format.
Incomming calls show the callers name if in contact list, all text messages show +447 number instead of 07 number and no name.
If contact is changed to +447 then texts show contact name, but incoming calls only show number :S
Any Ideas on a resolution?
I had the same problem after I installed the official HTC ROM update that was released mid Feb. I noticed that for my contact numbers here in the US, if the number didn't have a 1 before the contact's number, it would not recognize the number in my contact list. after i went thru all my contacts (a MAJOR PAIN IN THE A$$) and added the 1 before all the numbers, all my contacts' names appear again. not sure if that helps...
there with you guys. also on tmobile stock rom.
all my contacts are in outlook. ( not sure if that is on phone or mem card.)
but texts come thru with +44 and my phone doesnt recognise them. i am currently haveing to save the new numbers but when i sync on my pc. it reverts to the old ones coz i sync pc to phone.
seems to be generically vbe a tmobile vario 4 issue.
I have the same problem and I'm on Orange but I decided to try the NEW SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 so this might be causing the same problem.
I am going to try the newer update from Orange to see if that will work.
Mines has been showing "unknown caller" along with the telephone number when I call my mobile from my home phone and the messages are just showing up with the number.
This problem has been bugging me from the last few months but I didnt realize that there may be a solution to this until I seen the amount of posts for tweaks on here.
I am nearly fed up with the phone...I just began enjoying this new ROM that I put on it coz my last Orange one was apparently an old one.
Will let you all know how it goes.

Just to let you all know that I updated with WM6.1 WWE CE OS 20764, Build 20764.1.4.3, V2.6 Full, UC Ready ROM and it seems to have worked a treat...all my numbers are showing names now and I have a much faster phone with additional positive tweaks.
It has a slider on screen on it too that you must slide to the left to answer or right to ignore...this ensures that it will not mistakenly get answered in the pocket.
Highly Recommended!
All Credit Goes to swtos and you can find the link for the lite and full versions here.
Peace.
been a while since i ran into this...
But I do believe there's a registry setting that is used to determine how many trailing numbers are used to identify contacts.. if you drop it by a number or 2 it should still work, and may solve that '1' not being there..
wish I could remember where I saw this registry setting...
Anyway, I don't really run into this issue, but I'm using ROMeOS... and all my numbers I went through and manually edited on my exchange account to always be in the (xxx) xxx-xxxx format, including formatting. Every number shows fine -- But I also have no SIM contacts (with exchange backup and spare phones with backups I don't see the need, it just seems to confuse things)
now showing all contaacts
i finally resolved this and posting back on the thread i read bb lee post.
that is what i did.
if you do advanced config there is an option use X number of trailing numbers to identify numbers i have set this to 10 this will then recognise regardless of +44 or 0.
anyone else try this and let me know if it resolves yours too.

SIM & Phone contacts in ONLY new text msg

Hello,
I just installed a different rom than i had before on my tytn II.
I downloaded it from the HTC website.
"HTC TyTN II_RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship.exe"
I saw there was some slight changes with my previous one, which at first glance looked exactly the same. The problem im stuck with is that my SIM contacts are shown in the list of people when I get into New Text Message. So if I were to begin typing a name.. by just pressing "M", all the names starting with M would appear, twice! The SIM ones and phone stored contacts. Pretty annoying!
Ive tried so far:
RilhasHideSIM
Rstein.HideSimInstall
KaiserSimFix
KaiserTweak
These worked fine with my previous ROM, making the SIM contacts dissapear from the contacts list & list of people that appear in new txt message. This time however it only removed them from the contacts list.. and i havnt found a thread like this one. If there still is one, feel free to direct me there .
Any help appreciated!

Couple of question since search is not working for me.

Been lurking around awhile reading up but stuck on a couple of things. Im running
Cezar's Continuum SE and everything work except for..
1. my contact pic is not showing in my Texts(Contact are store on sim) Would storing all the contact on SD solve this? How do you copy all your contact? Where do i need to put into?
2. How do you store Multiple number on one Contact?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Anyone? still looking.
You need to either use google for your contacts or copy them from your sim to phone. Go into contacts, menu, more, import from sim....or something like that. Some of the contact apps have import selection right in the menu screen instead.
Thank you!!
