Hi folks,
Did a factory reset yesterday and now i cant see any numbers - just facebook contacts... would the sim have been wiped?
Cheers,
Mick
Are you sure you've made SIM contact visible?
In "People", press Menu then select View - is SIM ticked?
Regards,
Dave
actually yes... i think i figured it out.. i have changed sim cards.. so need to put back in my old one and copy contacts to the phone... phew...

I have the dash flashed to the Rogers wm6 ROM which is about 10x smoother/faster than the Tmoboile wm6...
But anyway, one thing i always hated with the tmobile was that if i was type alpha characters to find contact to dial, during my query, it would Automatically popup with (see below, dont know how to take a screenshot):
Dialer (Title)
Confirm
--------------------------------
Dial XXX at (yyy) - yyy-yyyy?
--------------------------------
Yes | No |
--------------------------------
How do i disable this? its really annoying because 99% of the time, the name that its asking to dial is incorrect and usually the same, ...ex. ill type the letters S A R for sarah, as soon as i see sarah in the list, this damn auto thing comes up saying (before i get the chance to select), Dial Chris at (xxx) -xxx-xxxx?
I was hoping this would go away with the rogers wm6, but alas it has not..
thanks for any help.
sim number
It try to dial number in sim card. example if you type ra, it also mean 3#. (dial number location 3 in sim). I solve it by delete all numbers in Sim card. Hope this help.
Ah that makes sense, is there any way to disable that without deleting my SIM contacts and using phone mem?
i don't have this problem and i have all my contacts backed up on the sim.
i don't know the solution... but just wanted to point out that i don't think you should have to delete all your sim contacts to fix. unless it has something to do with you ONLY having your contacts on your sim. i use the phone for my contacts and just have everything on the sim for backup only.
I try to disable SIM contact in setting-phone-call option but it does not help.
when I recieve a text or call it doesn't register with my contacts, just shows numbers no info.
and yes i put my contatcs back on the phone.
nobody has any ideas on how to fix this ?

Well, normally this happens when your contacts are being pulled from the SIM card. Try going into your contact list, and tap Menu > View > Contacts. This should exclude your SIM contacts from the list. Future messages should now be tagged with the name of the contact instead of the number. Keep in mind that this will have no effect of messages already on the phone, only future ones.

The only other thing I can think of then, is to make certain that the number that is being displayed is exactly the same as the one in your contact list. This includes the +1areacode. I.e. If the number for your contact is 555-5555, and the incoming text number is +15555555555, just change the contact number to match the incoming. This would, again, only resolve the future contacts.
Hi
When I first got my Xperia ZL, I was certain that the SIM card contacts were an option to select to view as the primary contact list.
I have updated my ZL with the latest Android OS updates, and it seems the SIM card contact display option is now missing. I am only provided the option to import/export contacts from the SIM card.
Can someone pls help me get back the option of just displaying the SIM card contacts?
Thanks.

Go to contacts list, settings filters and just check the sim contacts.

Thanks Daniel!
Bot able to do more than 10 characters or so when adding a contact. This wasnt the case before. Any suggestions why?
Thanks in advance

Are you creating the contact on your SIM ? there is a limit when the contacts are stored on SIM card.
Thanks for the reply. How can i check if its on the sim or the phone please?
Edit the contact, and in the upper part of the screen you have a drop-down to choose from Google/phone/SIM
I try to use Samsungs Private Share app and it gives me this error:
"You can't use Private Share because we can't read your phone number from your SIM, which we use as an ID. Contact the service provider for your SIM card and ask them to add your phone number to your SIM as the MSISDN."
I have talked to my phone operator 3 times and they tell me that the setup in their system looks good.
And when I look under "About phone" it says unknown phone number. I already got a new sim card, but no luck.
Any thoughts, guys?
Thank you in advance

I think it's a validation thingy, try this:
Open contacts, press the 3 dashesand select the gear on the top right (Settings on the contacts app).
Select "Share profile pictures"
It will ask youto activate profile sharing and will verify your number via SMS (kinda like 2 factor) after you do that the number will be verified and will appear on the phone settings.

Same with my s22 ultra. Esim number unknown. Sim 1 is ok. Please let me know if you find any solution
Try this.
Try clearing the data in Sim toolkit, network reset and clear the system cache from the boot menu.
