Hi,
When I view my contact, I have first my phone contacts followed by my sim contacts.
I there a way so that I only have my phone contacts in my contact?
Thanks in advance.

I would also very much be interested to learn how to disable the display of SIM contacts by the phone's Today plugin. I looked at the registry quickly but nothing seems intuitive about disabling this. I was told in other forums that this is not possible. Any confirmation on this or ideas?
Has anyone been able to disable the showing of SIM contacts in the Today quick dial plugin? Also, is there a way to show names by First name, Last name in this plugin instead of the other way around?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have explored the whole registry but couldn't find a way to hide sim contacts from aprearing in today's Dial up look up. Anyone has any idea how to hide sim contacts from appearing in Dial up look up?
I have already made changes in reg for contacts so now in my contacts i don't see sim contacts but still appear in Dial up look up.

BUT I cant seem to get it working, anyone had success?
Hi
That Solution only works for contacts, i have been using it since day one, but somehow i'm unable to find any registry setting to hide sim contacts in dialup lookup.
But that registry change should work for contacts.
I recently installed WM6.Crossbow.WWE.HTC.Wizard.v5.2.660. Had no problems and then all of a sudden my contacts disappeared. Caller id works and recieved sms shows contacts name.. have i changed a setting to not show sim contacts? Is there a setting to do that?? any help would b great
Well, first of all, when installing a new ROM everything in the phone memory gets wiped, including contacts, but you already know that.
Regarding contacts on your SIM, that is what I think you are referring, they are not touched, but most cooked ROMs have a setting in the reg to hide those contacts.
You have 2 options in here:
1- Edit your registry, go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone. Look for the key ShowSim, it should have a 0, change it to 1. With this you Sim contacts will show in your contact app.
2- This is the most effective solution, however. Go to the Sim Manager app in programs. There you will find all your Sim contacts. Tap Menu, Select all, Menu again, save to contacts. With this you will have a more flexible way to manage them.
Cheers.
I disagree, i've tried almost every rom on XDA for wizard since june 06 and almost everyone shows sim contacts as a default.

Hi, i got a "problem" with the contacts application.
It shows my SIM contacts. I have copied all SIM contacts to my device, so i can put pictures and set other information about my contacts. But now the contact application shows the SIM contacts and the DEVICE contacts..so basically i see the same contact twice.
Does any1 know how to fix this, without deleting the contacts from the SIM card ofcourse?
Thanks
no one willing to help?
See my post on contact sorting ...
I haven't tried myself, but try to set
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSIM
to 0
and let us know if it works.
edit: I checked and the value exists and is currently set to 1 (show sim contact)
I have managed to get rid of the sim contacts from the contacts list. However when I create a new SMS it brings up the sim contacts as well as the phone book which is really annoying. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Afraid not sorry, but I'd be interested to hear how you managed to get rid of the sim contacts from the contact list
I've tried editing the reg. and AC 3.2 but it still dosen't work
Registry settings works only until reboot for me :-(
try this little cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1769534&postcount=2
this is the only thing that survives a reset
it's called kaisersimfix, but it'll work just fine on any device
Thanks, it works. (so far)
Excellent will give that a go also, have been trying everything with this one
Greetings, all;
I am having a problem with my unlocked Treo that is driving me batty. The device "forgets" some of my contacts when I am composing an SMS.
The contacts never actually dissapear from the phonebook, and I can always start an SMS from the Contacts page, but when I start typing a name in the "To' line on the new SMS page, some names are just not there anymore.
It's never the same name, and doing a soft reset corrects the problem... for about a day.
Any ideas what might be happening here? Thanks for the advise!

I would suggest that you backup your contacts using some free program such as TCB (total contacts backup) or PPC Contacts backup. Just back them up into a file in a folder in the phone or storage card. Then go back to the program and try to restore the contacts and choose the option of overwriting the existing contacts.
Also if you are referring to the drop down list when you choose list of contacts. Keep in mind that the list is only for people you have texted before, this not a list of contacts reflecting the phone book
yes.
i also have this same problem.
it seems like there are limited contact that showed in messaging box.
For example,
i have 20 contacts whose name is started from letters : "Sa"
but when i type "Sa" in the destination number on messaging box,
it is limited only to 10 contacts which is started from letters "Sa".
So the next 10 contacts is not showed up.
is there any possibility to tweak on registry to expand this limit ?
Pls help...
thanks a lot !

i had the same issue as well.....one contact wasn't showing up.
2 things. make sure that that contact's number has been saved as his/her mobile number, not home or anything.
secondly, just restart or something. the problem went away for me later.
Actually, the missing contacts issue happens in many application. And the search results depends randomly.
For example, I got 2 "Sherry" in my contacts from OutLook in my PC. And pretty aware that I keep the phone number in the right field.
Type Sherry in Today, I got 2 Sherry listed.
Type Sherry in Contacts, I got nothing.
Thpe Sherry in SpeedDial Setting(Link to Contacts), I got nothing.
Type Sherry in To field in New Message, I got 2 again!?!?
Very unpredictable!!! And different name will yield very different results.
Customer Rep from Palm suggest me to do a Hard Reset. But I don't think it will help, however I'll try it.
Hoping to get the solution here!!! Thanks in advance.
The wired search result is gone after I upgrade my Treo750 from WM6 to WM6.1 with a Special Cooked ROM(Build 19199).
After the upgrade, my data had been synced from OutLook again. I'm not sure whether ROM upgrade or data sync did resolve the problem.
Anyway, I'm happ again with my Treo750 again!!

Wired things again................
Treo 750 will freeze (no input from touch panel nor keyboard) when I entered the edit screen of the contact person which founded in Lookup field in "Today".
But editing the contact person in the "Contacts" application will not freeze.
The edit screens in the above cases are pretty the same except the upper left corner shows "Start" and "Contacts" separately.
Any help??? Thanks in advance.
