Show/Hide SIM contacts

[Ravenlord]

HI all!
How can I hide the sim contacts? Which is the registry key to modify?
I've tried TweakUI (modified for Trinity) and all tweak works, except "Show/Hide SIM contacts".

Greetings

Using htc sim manager, you can:
A) Move all sim contacts into an outlook contact(put pictures, etc) vice versa
B) Delete all sim contacts/outlook contacts

No reason you need to have both :)

I've all my contacts on device, but I want to leave saved the contacts also on my SIM card. The method to hide them, there is.

Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
Key: ShowSim (dWord)
Set it to 0

But it'll go back to 1 if you Reset the device.

I installed PocketCM, since it doesn't show SIM i don't have to hide it anymore. Looks nicer too.

There was a file posted on this board to fix that issue. I forgot who posted it but here it is.

Just moved over from Symbian UIQ 3 (m600i). I have no idea what CABS are and how to install the file you attached.

I also want to rid myself of seeing duplicated names as I want to see phone contacts but also retain SIM contacts. I go diving and change mobiles and still need the names & numbers.

[bastienvans]

copy the CAB to your phone and browse to it via the File Browser.. then execute.

please

This DOES work:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Phone]
"ShowSIM"=dword:00000001 ->0 to disable, 1 to enable.

@f1ip: I don't have Pocket CM, but KaiserTweak is an easy way to hide SIM contacts (and it's only 377 kB + 47 kB for the .xml file, so it's not a memory hog)

@Corrupted Sanity: I too switch phones sometimes - don't want to take the expensive PDA to some environments.

@Everybody: I find that even though I have "Hide SIM Contacts" enabled, Voice Command still looks at them when I ask to dial a contact, and says "Showing 2 Found" and then asks which one you want to dial - a - anyone else have this experience?

Would like to have Voice Command ignore SIM contacts - the "Showing 2 Found" thing is so annoying that I ended up deleting all my SIM contacts, then I have to copy them back to the SIM if I want to transfer the SIM to another phone.

Till your next restart.Did you even bother to read the release notes comment on Modaco? Or any followup comments? KaiserSimFix is the ONLY fix that still works after restart.

[Löyly]

I don't know how i managed to fail in installation, but it seems not to work.

I dont visit Modaco very often, so no I have not read their release notes (where are they anyway?).

Got a link to kaisersimfix?

the file is so great, I can fix the contacts problem of HTC now instead of waiting a long time for the answer from HTC manufacturers.
Thank a lot! :D

Hi. I'm looking for this same solution too.

Will this cab work on my spv m700? (spec below in signature).
Thanks,

Matt

[Mattster_spv]

Found a solution and a great tool it would seem:

Schaps Advanced configuration tool (works w/wm6.1.) It has the SIM option and many more cool options.

Use PIM backup (its great lets you backup whatever you whant; call log, speed dial, numbers ect. ect.) then open contacts, select all and use the upper delete. You should get warning about deleting from sim. Accept and voila its not showing as double only contacts + you have youre sim backup just in case.

You're welcome. I'm glad it's still working for folks this long after the Kaiser's release.
