Contacts question - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
SGS running 2.3.3.
I have setup my Contacts to display only the contacts in the phone memory and not the SIM contacts. That works fine when I go into Contacts.
However, if I go into messaging and select Contacts I get both the SIM and phone memory contacts. How can I get only the phone memory contacts via messaging?
TIA
Greg

No ideas anyone?
TIA

Contacts problem

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

[Q] SIM contacts availlable on Contacts tab?

Hi
I've had a search but I can't find anything regarding my question, which is this:
Is it possible to display the SIM contacts when the Contacts tab is selected?
From what I can see it is only the phone contacts that are visible. I am aware that I can copy my SIM contacts to the phone to get them to be visible, but this is not what I want to do if I can help it. I am also aware that I may not be able to get photos associated to my SIM contacts, but that's not a problem for me.
Thanks

Contacts only off of my sim card?

What if I only want to use the contacts off of my sim card and not contacts saved to phone or from my Google account? Is this possible?
Yes, contacts -> display options uncheck google and facebook.
Do I need to "Import from SIM card". With my Vibrant and any other GSM phone I just slide the SIM in and there are my contacts shown off of my SIM. Does stock Android not do this?
I imported my SIM contacts and in display options under Choose contacts to display. Only Google is showing up AND I am showing triple contacts in my phonebook, YES THREE OF EACH CONTACT. What the HECK is going on. A little frustrated with this.

first of all, in contacts under accounts, uncheck sync contacts.
then delete all the phone contacts (you may use mass contact delete app from market).
then import from sim card.
in this way, no repetitions and only sim contacts would be displayed on the phone.
also if you want to manage the contacts on phone and on the sim use "contacts to sim" app from market.
hope it helps.
and also to mange the contacts of your gmail, in pc go to gmail, then on left side, click contacts.
and in options click merge duplicates. it does it.
but again duplicates. lol
so what i did is deleted the gmail contacts and if it again backups i delete again.
hope it helps.
Thanks for your assistance. I just wish that "SIM" would show under "Accounts" just as it does in my Samsung Vibrant.

[Q] How to solve the problem of People contacts in NextGen v3.2

Hi everyone
I really appreciate so much if anyone could help me solve this problem. I recently have flashed the rom Nextgen v3.2 on my HTC HD7, after that I realized a little bug with this rom. It's about the People contacts, whenever I receive a phone call or any text message, my cellphone just displays the name that I have saved in the sim card, although I did untick the Sim Item in Filter contact list. Because the names which I saved in the sim card are so short and simple so I am too difficult to know who calling me or sending me message, I just want it to display the names in window live contacts. Anyone can help me fix this problem?
resync the contacts again...i had the same problem...i resync it and den no more problems

once you sync your SIM contacts into your phone they will be updated on your windows live account.....login into your windows live account on your desktop and you have to first delete the sim contacts from your live id...odor else everytime you sync your live account on your phone the sim contacts just pop back up....
So delete those on your account and sync your contacts

Thank for your help. Finally I fixed it already. I deleted all the contacts in Window live, after that I export contacts from the Simcard to Window Live, and resync from Window Live to my phone. Finally, the problem was done.
Thank you one more time for your help.
Happy to help
Click thanks if I was helpful

[Q] P970 Froyo 2.2.2 contacts dissappeared

Hi everyone.
A friend is using P970 running on a stock 2.2.2 Froyo. Yesterday she lost all contacts with phone numbers that were in the phonebook. Unfortunately all the contacts were stored as phone contacts, and they were not synchronizing with Gmail Contacts. Is there any way to get into internal memory and restore the phone numbers?

Hi,
First of all check if she hasn't put to display sim contacts in the contact menu as if there is no contacts in the sim memory and that sim contacts is selected therefore there will be no contacts to display even the phone contacts is still present.
