Hiding SIM contacts

[dezz]

Is there anyway to hide the contacts saved on your SIM?

That is, at the moment I have all my contacts saved on the phone with their full details, I also have a basic copy of my contacts saved on my SIM for when the SIM is placed into my second phone

But when I open up the Caller ID contacts by default it shows all contacts, both on phone and SIM so I end up getting duplication.

I know I can set the view to Contacts only every time I go into it but I would prefer a more default way of doing it.

Also I'm finding that Caller ID contacts takes a while to open and list all contacts even when my SIM card is empty, is this normal?

Thanks for any help.

It is not a program - it is a registryvalue.

Search teh registry for the value "ShowSim" and set it back to "1" instead of "0".

Use totalcommader for it.

And the simcontacts are back again.

But that is what it shoud do - Hide the contacts.

lol

It is function for WM5, but in WM6 don't exist registry value "ShowSim" :(

It only inserts a reghack. you can do it your own next time. BTW - why don´t you synchronize with outlook. I don´t have any number on sim card. hehe

I know im wierd but is there a way to have it ONLY show Sim contacts in the default contact manager in WM6? And likewisw when you create a new contact that it gets saved to the Sim and not the phone? That's the way i had it set on all my previous phones (non-smart ones like my Razr) Is when i created a contact it'd save aucomatically to the Sim. I know i can create a Sim contact in Sim Manager so that part isnt really a huge deal. I'd just like for my contact list to only load them from the Sim. If that is an option. Or just ShowSim = 1 and delete the contacts on the phone?



oh and btw i found this thread by using the search function ;) ;)

I have a problem with this. I use the hidesim and set the value to 0 and the Sim-contacts do not show. So far so good, but after a soft reset they are back again......What can I do to solve this?
I have a Touch Cruise with WM6.

many thanxs on the FILE u upload !!!! i was about to ask it as well .

[zephxiii]

i'll just add that I normally used Advanced Configuration tool since TNT ROMS always had it installed. I did use it in a couple of other ROMS too.

[rilhas]

you don't need to delete SIM Contacts! Use RilhasHideSIM that work after soft reset.
