Since yesterday I'm the proud owner of an OP3.
Today I have inserted the 2nd sim for all my business call, but this is where the questions start raising
I thought it was just 'normal' the create contact groups and have the phone automatically pick sim 1 or 2 based on the contact group a contact is in.
So this brings me to 2 main questions I have:
- Is it possible to set-up contact groups? (I can see the options within the contacts app)
- Is it possible to have an automatic profile for contact using sim 1 or sim 2?
- (is it also possible to send all contact over sim 2 based on the app where the phone numbers are in? For business purposes I use Good for Enterprise for mail and contacts. It would be awesome to select a contact in this app and to dail the number over sim 2)
Thank you
please remove this post. it's double

Hello,
I noticed that after upgrading, all SIM contacts are also present when
viewing contacts. I also noticed that it is now possible to synchronize
the contacts with the SIM contacts.
Contacts > Menu > SIM Manager > Menu > Tools > Contacts to SIM
Currently, my SIM contacts were added manually on the card.
If I were to remove them all from the SIM, and set "contacts" to
synchronize to the SIM, will the SIM contacts still show up in the
contacts list (or does it know they are synchronised, so it doesn't repeat
them)?
(a downside I see to this is that the SIM contacts can only be 14
characters in length, so the mark for home/mobile/work won't show up for
the majority of contacts; whereas I can force this when managing the SIM
contacts manually)
If they still show up, is there a way to only show contacts present on the
phone (not those on the SIM)? I gather it is possible by adding all
contacts to a group, and filter on this group; but is there an easier way?
Thanks!
Jörg

I remember with HTCustom 1.7 from Shadowmite, you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307873, you can disable the SIM contacts even exsits on the SIM, so you only see your PDA contacs.
Regards.
Hey VJ,
Before I had my Hermes I always used the SIM contacts. Now I have push e-mail with my company's exchange server I only use my exchange contacts.
I have read a thread of a guy who is selling for 20$ an exchange account on his own server.
Maybe this is an solution for you.
I have past week flashed my device about 6 times. In each case I'm up and running with all my settings in about 5 minutes. And thats because I'm not so fast.........
So the exchange push mail/contacts is working perfect for me!
Regedit this mate (taken from wiki):
Show/Hide Sim Contacts:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Phone]
"ShowSIM"=dword:00000001 ->0 to disable, 1 to enable
The rest of the wiki's reg tweaks are on the same page. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry Enjoy.
Hi, if i go into people all my contact are there how they should be but if i go in to messages & search all my contacts are duplicated, its a right pain when its showing 2 of everyone. When i go to people & view, only my google contacts have a green tick by them, even if i just tick sim contacts its still the same. The only way around it for me is to delete all my phone contacts & just use the sim ones but id rather use google as i can add photo's to the contacts.
is there a way around this ?
Are you sure its duplication and not simply showing you each number you have for a contact. E.g. you have say dad in your contacts and have stored his home, mobile and email address. This example would list dad 3 times in messaging but each would have a different number or address.
If this isn't it I did find my contacts got messy and deleted everything from phone and sim and now store and maintain my contact in gmail ONLY.

Yeh they are definitely duplicated, i like to keep my contacts as simple as possible i dont want e mail addresses or anything on there just my contacts. it looks like this.
(photo) other: allan 0187 ******
(sim) phone numbers: allan 0187 ******
(photo) other: david 0163 ******
(sim) phone numbers: david 0163 ******
its showing the sim even though ive not got it ticked in the view option. I know i could delete the sim contacts & it would look ok but thats not something i want to do as the battery is not the best on the desire & with the contacts on the sim ive always got that option to use someones else's phone in an emergency
Ah I understand what you mean. Must be a software bug then perhaps. All I can suggest is to get a payg sim store all your contacts to it and shove it under the back cover then just use google contacts only. Sorry I cant be of more help.
Sorry for starting the new thread, But I am having this problem.
Thanks for the RoM (1.8c), it is working fine but when I imported all the contacts as business card through Bluetooth, I was not able to save under contacts also
When I select People and select add contact, I am seeing the dialoug box showing create contact under account with the option as News, Weather and Stock!!!!
Why it is so. Need your help to understand this problem.
how to get business cards from other mobile?

Ok here's the story
saved contacts to gmail account
needed to return phone for repairs
exported contacts from gmail to SIM card
put SIM card in loaner phone
added new numbers to SIM card from loaner phone
got back real phone and inserted SIM card
imported contacts from gmail AND SIM card
Now all (but the newest) contacts appear twice What's the easiest way to fix them? Do I need to do all one at a time?
In contacts set which number or.places to show (gmail,sim etc)
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Delete all contacts and then just import from either gmail or sim, since they are identical.
You can also check whether your contacts weren't doubled on your Google account (via PC is most comfortable). If so - there is a tool to remove all doubled records offered directly inside your contacts list in the account.
Choosing the source of contacts to show as described above by colleagues will help surely as well. Regards.

Just download MyPhoneExplorer from market and for PC and have full access to your phone.MyPhoneExplorer was initially made for SonyEricsson phones but then expanded with android devices from all brands with WiFi support.
Try it ...
Hi !
After placing/receiving calls or sending/receiving SMS, device shows the contact name from the Sim card. (The contact name that appears in the call log or SMS thread tittle).
Contact to display is set to - Phone. Still it seems the device looks into the Sim card by default, while it registers the call/SMS.
This makes the names appear shorten as they are in the Sim.
How can I set the device to look at the contacts that are store on it ??
I'm using the original Lg apps and software (Android version - 5.0)
Thanks
Same thing happened to me after I did a full reset. I have my contacts in google contacts so what I did was -
1) I deleted all my contacts (phone and google). It should also delete those in google cloud. So keep internet and sync enabled.
2) Go to contacts.google.com and restore your contacts from yeaterday(for instance). Google keeps all your contact changes from the last 30 days.
You should have Sync and internet enabled all that time on your phone during that.
It should sync the contacts and all should be working fine.
