What i did was, Flash CM6.1 and then install contact2sim from the market and use it. Contact2sim does not work on the stock sense rom.
Hope that helps!

have you tried MyPhoneExplorer to pull the numbers from your phone to PC?
probably not what youre looking for....
Even with newest oxygen? Are you sure you have contacts in sim card? Try it in a simple phone. Ie sonyericsson.

I had a similar problem when I imported my contacts from a vCard file on my SD card. They didn't show up in Contacts but did show up in SMS and the call log.
The problem is that by default unsynced contacts are hidden from the list. To show them, hit Menu > Display options, tap your Google account, put a check in "All Other Contacts," then finally tap the Done button. Your unsynced contacts should show up now.

Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? ty..

Export contacts to sd, delete all contacts, import contacts from sd, then turn off google contact sync. Worked for me but it's more of a work around than fix.

I've got the same problem, but it doesn't matter - it'll be resolved I think.
So is this yet another side-effect of the last firmware update...?

HTC desire running Cmod 7 issues.

Okay I'm running the latest cyanogen rom and all is well besides the fact I've lost some contacts and am unable to store new ones on the sim.
Is there a way around this?

yeppers, use your google account for contacts storage, you will never have a problem
+1
Google account automatically syncs with your phone, no need to hassle with contacts backup/restore Also, it can be used to backup your installed apps automatically (without settings restored tho)
Thank you so much guys

Invaluable tip, thanks very much. Had the same problem.
Pendlebum I downloaded an application called contacts2sim and it will store any numbers you have stored to your phone to your sim. Its a bit of an inconvenience but it works

Sim contacts

How to save contact direct to sim card and not in phone memory?Iam using cm7.1.0.1
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Use a 3rd party app like Contact2SIM from the market (Tested personally. I needed my contacts on a dumbphone, and transferring via SIM was the only option)
I'm on nightlies but If I go to contacts press menu then import/export I can backup to my SD.
Edit:: my bad, didn't read the op correctly again, thought you said SD card not sim.

Thanx 3xeno....
I don't wanna backup bt want save new contact automatically to sim...

I don't think CM has such an option built-in. You will have to go for "periodic" backups at best.

Help needed [ROM]EQDKP Sense 3.5 - GB2.3.5 [m1ndh4x8r mod]

Hi does any one else get a problem with the stock message app it sometimes shows the contacts number instead of there name upon receiving a message but if u click there picture and then send message it flicks from there number to there name which fixes it until u next open or receive a new message then it flicks back to the number
It's driving me nuts because half the time I don't know who there from unless I click there picture and click view or send message
Does anyone have a fix I'm willing to donate some money

Try to backup your sms/mms messages with MyBackup Root from Google Play, delete all messages from the messaging app, restore the backup and immediately reboot your phone.
Something like that already happened to me and I fixed it this way. Good luck!

I tried but
What ROM u using ? It only happens on this one

What I write below applies to the EQDKP Sense 3.5 Rom.
Are you using a startup app manager? If you do make sure you don't disable "Messages" app on startup.
If you do you won't get names on your sms. Only numbers. Happened to me. I spend lots of time fine-tuning my phone so that it does not load unneeded stuff.

I don't use any startup manager
I've also noticed that it always shows numbers in the notification popup and in the pull down bar if there clicked but if I click messages it shows the names
Very strange anyways thx for ur imput

Make sure you have the contact's full international number in your contact list, ie. +44 for UK numbers
Got it thx man
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA Premium App
That was usefull. Thank you.
weird i have the same problem and i dont think adding the international code before the contact number is a valid option cz this didnt happen in the stock rom so i believe there is a fix out there !
