Hey there!
I have my contacts in my SIM card. With the stock rom they are shown, with CM10/CM9 they are also shown, but with every other rom I tried only the SIM services are shown as my contacts (stuff like customer service number and so on). If I sync with google nothing happens.. if I try to import from SIM only those 18 "services" appear.
currently I'm using the DebianDroid rom (but this also happens with aurora, aokp, miui, just to name a few I tried). I repeat that this does not happen with stock/CMx
Any ideas? Thanks!
Use the 'export' function to make a .vcard file with all your contacts on sd

You've to export them from SIM to Phone!
How? I can't see any contacts. Now I'm using the latest cm10 from Eric and after a reboot I have all the correct contacts. Só now I exported them and will import them in the future, although I prefer to keep them in the sim card.

Hi, I've been trying to do this with no such luck, finds them says its importing then wont show up the contacts am using oxygen 1.03?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
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!

you don't need an app. you select dialer-> contacts-> import/export->import from simcard.

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.
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.
Het so my facebook won't sync photos to my contracts it worked just before I flashed my Rom again. Any ideas?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Try logging out and logging in again. And then select 'sync with existing contacts' when prompted.
Have done that
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Try to reinstall the app and sync the contacts again.
try to join contact
Tried both of those opinions

Are your contacts local stored or synchronized via exchange or something similar?
I have same experience on my ArcS with different roms tried (arconium, xperia mod)
DooMKernel v15, Baseband -64, Firmwares .62
All my actions below are no luck...
1) Tried install/ remove either Facebook inside Xperia or Facebook
2) Reset Join/ Separate
3) Contacts are at Google account (Contacts in phone are also tried)
4) Contact names 100% match to Facebook or partially matched
In contact page, it has a note "Facebook contact information is not editable on this device"
Any ideas?
Comes due unlocking the bootloader I guess.
I just see the birthday now and before bootloader unlocking I had their pic and other information synced, too.

I finally solve.
Delete the facebook apps in system/app by root explorer, then download and install facebook app from market.
Thanks all your minds!

I dont wanna try it but if i format system from CWM do i lose contacts/joined ?
You will lose your contacts (and all other data) if you format system. If they are backed up by google though, all you have to do is sync contacts when you sign in on your google account and they will come back.
Is a pain if u also have them saved to sim. Cuz it will double up contacts. Its tedious to do but worth every bit of the time invested in order to get a clean flash. It just how I do it. Just my opinion

I save all my contacts to my Google account. None of them are on my phone or sim card so there's no chance of losing my contacts. I can even see/edit them on google.com/contacts

Reason I do it both ways is in the event I was hacked on my goggle. It happens just like any site. Everything is vulnerable to attacks so I rather not take no chances. Just being safe I guess.

If you have the same contacts on both sim and google, you can "display" only one or the other in the contacts app so it doesn't show double.

I guess is just the way I synch it. I open all my emails and such all of them. Just like having all my contacts handy. Is just personal preference.

It has a fuzziness setting that it worked pretty good for me. Also the option to create HTCData links in your google account as a backup for restore

I'm having an issue where once contacts are joint, I lose the google name and it defaults to their facebook name.
This is really annoying for people who don't use their real names on facebook...
Is there something I'm missing where I can default it to the google contact name?
So, I was rooting my brother's girlfriend's phone. I flashed CWM, backed up the 2.3.6 FC09 data including her contacts. I then flashed Paranoid JD Rom and forgot to make a contact backup. Is there any way to get those contacts back? Can I use odin to revert to stock, then flash CWM, restore the backup, then acquire the contacts that way? Will that work?
Thanks for the response, guys. <3
Yes. Why were they not saved to Google? Then whenever you log in on a new ROM or new phone all the contacts come back. When you have them back you can export them to your sd card then import them on the new ROM.

I flashed GApps but with my phone (TMobile G2x), I never have to sync contacts through GMail manually; after connecting my Google account, my contacts sync automatically. I figured this was the same. I will try that and let you know. Thanks for the speedy response!
Did she save the contacts on Google or did she choose phone storage?

Then you should restore the old ROM and export the contacts then import on the new ROM.
