Dear friends,
I have updated the rom from the stock Gingerbread to stock Jelly Bean (4.2.1) and later on to cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.4).
Everything works ok with Kitkat, but I can not read anymore the SIM contacts, nor read SMS stored in the SIM. I've read many posts on the forum. Tried the following solutions, but none worked:
Yess, all SIM contacts were created within an Android OS (old Gingerbread stock ROM, same phone), not with Blackberry or other manufacturers.
Open Phone app, settings/Import/export/import from SIM card: It says "no contacts"
Same procedure as before but activating/deactivating the flight mode and try again: same error "no contacts"
Installed the app "Sim contacts". Also not working: "cannot load any contacts"
Flashed several roms, AOSP 4.4.4, ParanoidAndroid 4.4.4, Carbon ROM 4.4.4, CM10, CM10.1, etc same issue.
Flashed again stock ROM JB 4.1.2, extracted with ESExplorer the files: SecContacts.apk/odex, SecContactsProvider.apk/odex, SecPhone.apk/odex.
Later dexoded with the tool "Universal Deodexer v5". Installed again CM4.4.4, and pasted the new generated apk's to /system/app/. Rebooted and nothing happened.
Note 1: With stock ROM JellyBean (4.1.2) I can read the SIM contacts list. I can NOT with CM10 (4.1.2) or any other ROM based on KK.4.4.4
Note 2: With CM or other ROM (4.4.4) I still can call and receive calls, also send SMS.
Note 3: Flashing again stock ROM or inserting the SIM card to another non Android based phone can read SIM contacts.
I would like not saving the contacts on the phone, nor in google's cloud, as sometimes I use the SIM card on other phones and I need to read the contacts lists.
Any ideas? It seems a ROM issue.
Thanks,

You can put sim in other Android phone, open dialer/contacts app and in its settings export. After that copy file to your phone and in same settings import.

You do not need an app. Go to Contacts on other phone, then tap menu button (left soft on Samsung Galaxy S Advance), there you have Import/Export. That is all you need. Export on other, import on yours. Just transfer file with BT or whatever.
Picture says 1000 words, and video says a lot more, so here you are what you can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clZEjdX0li0

I could export the SIM contacts to an .VCF file from a borrowed Samsung Galaxy SIII (CM 10.2.0).
Later on I could import the .VCF file on my Galaxy S Advance, BUT only saving the contacts to the phone internal memory, not inside the SIM card memory.
I still cannot export,edit,view these contacts on the SIM. Any ideas? It seems a ROM issue.
Note 1: Also tried to export a contact saved on the phone memory to the SIM card. No succees.

CM11 based ROMs (4.4.4) are having problems with reading from SIM card as I rememer (for our device).
Go back to stock JB, transfer SIM contacts to phone, then export like I told you and then import to 4.4.4 ROM when you install it.

With your advice I could import the contacts to the local phone's memory. Thanks.
CM10, CM10.1, CM10.2 and CM11 are also having issues with reading the SIM contacts. (Flashed all them out and tried). There is any other available ROM out there working properly (stock ROM 4.12 JB works, but its very old.....)?
Thanks.

Some poeple are the meaning, that the place for this thread will be better here: OK, lets following this issue here. Here is a copy from the previews one:
CM 4.2.1 / CM4.1.99x Exception with contact group
Exception with Contacts - so like as in 4.1.99x
I have the same problem as in 4.1.99x, that I can not add a contact in my group (there is still ony one, which was working after some crashes in 4.1.999) without a crashed application
If I look into the exception Monitor, I can found a lot of:
Quote:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to find the My Contacts group"

What can I do or must do ?
History: I have had the G1 not so long time, but modif. it via WIPE to the 4.0.x ( stable )
After this (2 days later I upgrade to 4.1.111)
from this status I was following the description with the 2 Step to 4.1.999, where I have see the error the first time. With 4.0.x / 4.1.111 I haven't recognize this problem, because I have add some friend in my contact-list. For my meaning, this one was coming in, during upgrade in the 3 steps: WIPE, Google-Recovery, CM-Update 4.1.999.
Hint: If I update the phone, I start the phone WITHOUT a Mobile-Card: because I have had one time a bill over 200€ for data connection, and nobody knows why. So I boot the phone after update without card, check APNdroid, if 3G etc. disabed, shut down the phone, insert the casrd and boot again.
Maybe this handling calls the error ?
......
......
YES, I have use the search function and didn't found any usefull infos.
>>> ( how does I love this answer! If you found time to write this one, than I think, you know the answer - pls give me this one )
YES. I have reflashed the 4.2.1 with the card inside the phone: No change
Btw.: I was falling also in the error with the ext2 and ext3, so I change this one on the PC via tune2fs. But normaly every program, which need a DB and did not found it, create one. Or isn't it ?
Push > because its still avail and a Java exception is not a handling error
Just to bump this a bit and to pretend like it is actually useful to post in this forum...
Have you tried backing up your contacts via the browser, deleting them, sync the phone and then restoring?

No I haven't, because I have not so much contacts... So I was starting with a brand-new phone, "root" them, wipe them and change to CM4.0.x (Stable), jump to CM 4.1.11 and after a few days following the instruction to move to 4.1.999 with WIPE, 1st paket and the CM-paket.
Here I see the problem and also in 4.2.1.
About a missing Backup, I try only to create a contact manual on the phone.
THe first time, if I want to add the contact, the phone ask me to syncronise - but I was offline at all. So I reject this message ( there are also no datas to sync online )
Push .... .....
Hi
I can't imports contacts from my sim card too my phone if i run a custom rom that hasn't got all lg programms on it like a vanilla version.
Does anybody know what the problem is?
I get the following error when i press on import from sim:
com.android.phone stopped working
It works fine on the stock rom
Thanks!
I had that problem with my desire, just download a contacts to phone app on the market or somthing along them lines and it should work
I tried contact2sim and some others but none worked
This problem exist because the contact app isnt the originall LG app i think. So i'am missing a app i think
Start a new post/or edit this one to be a request for the contacts app
or have a look here

Hi all,
I tried flasing ISC ROM - the CM9 Nightly one yesterday. After a while taking time to play around/ test the new rom, I can not find the way to look for and/ or directly use contacts saved on my sim card. I do not want to import those to Google or any other accounts neither as they will mess my contact lists up.
Is this limited by the ISC ROM or any way to configure it in the setting?
There is 2 ways to backup/restore without using Google.
1.in contact's go to menu.first option contact to display,press customize,then simcard and save
2.backup your contact's to sd-card under menu import/export
Your sim contacts are sometimes stored in import/export.restore them and enable them from first option
There is no "customize" to choose in the contact setting. I am not interested in the ISC ROM (may be it was simplified to suit the hardware of SGS i9000) and I flash my phone back to GB 2.3.6 XWJW5.
Anyway, thanks for your advice.
Should be under CONTACT'S TO DISPLAY,there is 3 options,last one is customize
Anyway, if u flash back..dmore 3.3 and saurom is to great roms
ok i install slim ics on my i9000 ..everything work fine but i m unable to see the option to show only sim contacts ..as i import contacts from simcard now i have 640 contacts and most of them r duplicate .. any help how to merge them or show only sim contacts
Same problem here.
I get all contacts mixed up.
I would like to see only contacts from Google account and hide the ones from SIM card.
This was possible in Gingerbread. Is here also this option?
not only slim ics....
Hello,
i've the same problem too. it's not only limited to slim ics.
In my case the problems are on several ics-roms
In about the last 2 month i tried the following ics roms:
-dark knight 5.5
-slim ics 3.4, 3.5 an finally 3.8
-last but not least twics 3.01
Every rom has still this bug.
I can't find an option to show/hide SIM-Contacts in the phonebook-settings menu. Besides there is no option to store them local on the phone. I can only choose my Google-Acc.
Any ideas?
Update:
Just checked out teamnyx (ICSSGS) RC5 rom and the problem is still there .
It seems to be a problem with cm9-based custom roms....
androidforums.com/android-lounge/540851-no-phone-contacts-contacts-display-ics.html
And of course i made a full wipe between every rom change.
hi,
yes, the option to view Sim Contacts is removed. However, u may still see ur contacts on ur sim card by downloading "Sim Contacts" from the play store.
following which, u can import the sim contacts to ur phone which will be backed up to your google account.
hit thanks if this helps
Just use Google Contacts,it's free and very useful.
I just switched from stock to CM 10.2 (10.2-20131025-UNOFFICIAL-janice, to be more specific) and I can't see nor add any SIM contacts, it appears as if the SIM was empty. Any suggestion is welcome. By the way, I'm new so go easy on me.

Welcome to I9070 community.
Hm, I searched now - but I did not find it too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.needom.simcontacts
Try with this app, to copy contacts to phone memory.

My bad, I forgot to mention that I have tried it already. It seems like apps don't see SIM contacts either.

It is not just about our CM, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101699
I think one of the way are to go back to stock and to export contacts from sim to phone, export to file and after that import in CM contacts.
Or to put sim in some other phone and to transfer contacts with bluetooth.
