I am on a DHD. I will need my phone to be able to read and write contacts to the sim card for. So far, i've tried CM 7.2 and IceColdSandwich and both of them are not able to read/write contacts to sim.
I've also tried googling around and there doesn't seems to have any solution for it. Most of the solution centers around syncing the contacts to google which is not acceptable because I need the contacts synced to my sim card to transfer to another non-camera phone, which unfortunately has no way of connecting to a laptop or the network.
On the old stock rom, i had no issue running apps like contacts2sim to sync the contacts. But ever since I rooted the phone, I wasn't able to do so anymore.
Does anyone knows of a rom that can allow me to transfer contacts from phone to sim and vice versa?
CM7.2 actually has this feature.
Simply click on the menu and then choose the "Import/Export" option to transfer from/to your SIM card.
I don't know for any ICS based rom ...
EDIT: but it's true that directly read the SIM contacts is not possible, you have to import/export them.
relentles, I have same problem. Any sense based rom will read the sim card, but not ASOP ICS rom.
Have you tried the VT infinity rom (sense4) ?
as far as i remember, it has that option...
AOSP roms are not built to use the old way of reading contacts. While a few have the ability to import from the Sim card this option is being fazed out a little more with each update.

A search in market for sim contacts brought up a few options. I only tested the first one on my AOKP rom worked fine I think. Was able to add and delete. Give it a shot

Hi guys, I've a problem, I can't export contacts from phone to SIM card.
I have even tried installing other apps (Contact2Sim, Copy to Sim card, Sim2Phone) but do not work.
I have an HTC Desire Z with Andromadus ROM.
some roms don't allow for this others do, either find a different way to sync or move to another rom. maybe someone else can shed some light on this better as I haven't stored contacts on my sim since nokia days

I too was looking to store a contact on my SIM card, but all my phone allowed for me to do was to import contacts off the SIM card instead of the other way around.
I just did some searching of this and it may be based on the device rather than the ROM. Phone manufacturers are maybe phasing out the saving of contacts to the SIM card, especially on smartphones, as these devices have a persistent connection to the internet and an offsite location where the contacts are actually stored. It does make sense when you think about it.
In the end I just created a new contact and saved it on my Google account.
Hello Dear members.
I have a question that still isn't solved.
I would like to import my sim contacts in CM9 and this feature doesn't work. (CM7.2 has the same problem)
I know that I can sync my contacts with google but I sometimes have to use an old nokia N5000 which isn't a smartphone.
New contacts are lost and I don't really want to import/export each time I switch phone. The same issue when changing ROM.
I tried many apps on google play but none can detect my SIM card (SFR in France)
Do you have a better app or any tip to fix that issue? CM devs don't care about that basic feature, it is really surprising...
Don't be mistaken, I do not blame them, their work is fantastic but I am used to have all my contacts on SIM
Have a nice day,
y0da
Try to make a backup with contacts and save to sdcard.
If i helped you,click "thank's" button.Have a nice night.
This was already mentioned in my post.
I would like to find another way and make CM able to read my SIM card
I have a sim card on AOCP (collective rom) basically the same thing like cm10 and aokp. I put aokp up in the title because its more known, Anyway i cant seem to add my contacts to sim... Only google accounts? is there a workaround/ legit way to save contacts into your sim with this rom...
Btw tried adding contacts in aokp and cm10 same thing i cant do it!!! only adds to google Please help!!!
thanks

I have the same problem more or less. Hasn't anyone found any solutions? I haven't been able to access my sim contacts even since I installed aokp. How can one fix that?

Hi guys! i'm facing a problem everytime i flash a 4.2.2 ROM..
when i try to import contacts from sim to phone it says that there are no contacts on the sim card (data, everything else working fine..)
i've searched around forums, google, etc.. can't find a solution.
Maybe i have just asked something very stupid or already said somewhere and then i say sorry for that, but i really can't get out from this!

From SIM?! Transfer your contacts to your Gmail and no need to worry anymore. It's much better,as you can lose your phone/SIM along with contacts. But with contacts on your Gmail all you need is just log in to your Gmail from your phone and all contacts are ready to use with any Android phone...

For my part, I've use an other phone to copy all of my contacts from the sim card to a .vcf file. Then I import everything on this phone. Do you also have some problems with the clock ?

Yes this option is always available, but I need to view and save new contacts in SIM.
Just check the Clock app and yes it is also crashing.....
