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!

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.
Hi,
Im having problems with my contacts, There are some contacts that are on the sim card and not in the outlook contacts. So What I want to do is merge the two so Ive got one list with all the contacts on in outlook.
Ive tried sync'ing them with active sync but the sim contacts seem to be missing when I go to my PC and look in Outlook. Ive gone into sim manager and tried copying them but it hasn't seem to have done what I want. So I was wondering if there is a way to merge the two so i can back them up and just have one list with the two sets of contacts in.
I hope this makes sense and you guys understand what Im trying to do.
I would really appreciate any help you could give me and explain where im going wrong.
hello bro
i will answer you as much as i understoad you
to show your sim contacts on the list of contacts you have to do the folowing
open contacts and then open the menue and open sim manager
then select all contacts and save to contacts
then they will appear in your contacts list
i hope that what you meant
contacts problem
Thanks for the reply,
I've tried that, but when I go into outlook to view my contacts on my pc there are still contacts missing from the PC that are in my phone. I am not sure if they are sim contacts or ones stored in outlook on the phone.
I guess what im after is something to view/explore the contacts on my phone and sim card on the computer so I can see them infront of me on the computer screen. Then I can save them from the phone and sim card together into one file and merge the sim and phone contacts together to have one list of the two together.
I hope you guys can understand what im trying to achieve and help me out as I would be extreemly greatful.
Thanks,
John

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.
Is there an app that allows you to export your contacts to sim?
I started writing one based off the source so you would have an additional button in the contacts to Export Contacts instead of just Import them, but the emulator has no support for the SIM so I can't verify that it worked. I had since deleted it.
I was wondering if anyone had written anything like this yet?
I read somwhere the contact app in hero could do that.. but i cant test because im not going to hero untill its juicy and stable

Yeah, as far as I know (unfortunately) there is no way to go from the G1 to the SIM, only the other way around.
However, if you're on a T-Mobile SIM card, what I have heard yet never tried was using the new T-Mobile app called "Mobile Backup." It saves all the contacts and other misc. things from your phone onto a web server with your T-Mobile account. You can then transfer anything on this Mobile Backup to another T-Mobile phone. So what might be worth a shot is to transfer everything onto a phone that supports writing to the SIM card, and then put it back on the G1.
Personally, Gmail works great at this
I have JACHero 2.6.3 and i just checked the contact app to see if there was an export to sim option, but sadly, only import. Sorry.

The mobile backup works pretty well. If you have access to M$ Exchange you could always have all of your contacts back up to that (Or google contacts for that matter)
There are 2 ways you can do it. Buy one of those usb sim reader...$5 at Fry's or in Hero.
SIM Card Backup
I have an HTC HD2 running Android 2.3 with the rom build on a Nexus One. As with every rom I have flashed before, i loose all my contacts and messages. I want to put my contacts on my SIM card rather than my 4g microSD card which is now full. Searching the Android (Google Play) Store there have been no apps that have been able to help me with this.
Any suggestions?
make sure you are using google sync. i have flashed too many roms to count and never has google sync failed me. if you log onto your gmail from a computer you will see your contacts saved there, if not you need to make sure you choose to sync contacts in the settings menu on your phone.
if you dont like this option for whatever reason than just get a bigger sd card or transfer files to your computer
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!
