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!!

Hi guys, I did have a quick search to try and find answers to these but couldn't find anything relevant.
I have an O2 XDAIIi and upgraded to the Modified_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.03 yesterday.
The upgrade went fine and the restore seems to have put everything back except my contacts. It's not a huge problem (I can enter them again I guess) but I wondered if there was some way of getting them back more easily?
What's weird is if I look at my call list (which did restore ok) then I can see the numbers and names of people who called me recently, but if I go to add them to my contact list by clicking and holding the number, the "Save to contacts" option is greyed out. It's almost like they are there but just aren't being displayed.
Any ideas? Should I do anything differently next time in regards to how I back-up, like use something other than Active Sync?
Also I wanted the corporate install (as I heard thats more stable) but it prompted me for a validation code, where does one obtain one of these?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Anyone able to offer some advice on this? It would be a really big help.
Even if it's just how to backup contacts more reliably for next time. :?
I think that 2i has an inbuilt backup utility (at least my one has it) Settings->System->Permanent Save. There you can just choose what to backup.
Or, in Programs->XBackup, or you can just use Sprite Backup.
Ok thanks for the advice.
I'll try them next time. Seems odd that Active Sync can't do it. And weird that the contacts are kind of there (it lists names on my call register) but not listed in Contacts. :?
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
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.
Ok, I know that title is a little convoluted, but I don't know how else to put it. Basically when entering the recipients name in the "To" input field, some contacts don't show up. Example: Say I wanna send a text to Brian Knoll. I open Messaging app and start typing his name in the TO box, I get Brian Davids, or Briannna, or Brittany, but no Brian Knoll. I'd have to back out, search for his contact via phone search or contacts app and then compose a text that way. This is the same for about half my contacts and is NOT rom specific. I know it's not SIM contacs screwing it up either, cause I can store a brand new contact and have the same thing happen when trying to find it. What gives???
I also noticed this problem. In fact, I only get listed those contacts which have been synced from Facebook but not the ones comming from the sim card...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think as far as your problem is concerned, You can fix that in contact settings > import/export > import SIM contacts.
make sure its saved as a mobile number and not home or work it won't add a home number cause you shouldn't be textin a house
Easy fix.
Go to brian first and then compose the text message.
Hi,
I'd like on my G1 (first CM5/6/4.2, now ezGingerbread) to show not only my google contacts but also the SIM-contacts, like the HTC-Contacts App on my DesireZ does.
I would NOT like to copy them, b/c the SIM is sometimes used in a dumbphone & I don't wanna update the numbers on two+X devices.
I googled a bit & found dialer one, but I do not see an option there to display SIM contacts along with the others. Would be glad for any pointers!
