In Phone contact list, how do I show contacts that only have phone numbers. I have synced my contacts with google, but I am contacts there for whom I don't have phone numbers. I don't want them to show up in the Phone contact list.
I can't find a option to make this happen. Anyone have an idea of how to do this?
Much appreciated.
thx.
Did you ever find a fix for this? My friend is wondering how to do this on her phone also. Thanks.
Wipe ur contact lists first.
Including in phone. Make sure ur sim card has the desired number in it.
Then in people > Menu (the 3 squares) > Contact to display > Make sure only Phone or (Red Cloud Symbol with arrows) is selected.
Optional do custom and unselect all source u don't want.
Then go back to menu and select import from SIM and import them onto phone.
Now only the numbers from ur SIM will be present on ur phone and it will not pull in any other misc numbers.
If you just want to hide them just unselect the sources.

Hey guys... not sure if i'm dumb, but i cant seem to figure out how to add additional numbers to the saved numbers in contacts without saving them.
for example, i have a contact named "keith" with the saved tel number 1234567. i do not want to change this. But if i were roaming and needed to add some numbers how do i do it? let's say i needed to press *108*611234567#... how do i add the additional numbers without saving it.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure I understand you.
You want to be able to add new numbers to existing contacts WITHOUT SAVING THEM?
Is this correct?
If you dial a number and you want to save this to an existing contact you can do this.
Its very simple. Simply select the number you want on your phone dial screen > Push Menu > Save to Contacts > Yes, To existing Contact > then select contact
thanks for the reply spartan...
if i can make it clearer....
i already have a saved number... "1234567" but if i am roaming overseas i might have to add a code to be able to call out. i do not want to permanently add these to the saved numbers. With sony ericsson, i just had to call the contact, cancel the call and add additional numbers on the dialing screen.
Unfortunately I am not aware of any way of doing this.
What may help is if you ring somebody. Obviously there number will appear below there name on dial screen. Now that you can see it you can type in their number again with code infront.
Hopefully I am mistaken and there is another way of doing this. Maybe somebody else can enlighten us. I will try searching and see if I can find anything. If I do I'll report back!!
yeah tat's what i am currently doing, but my memory's not too good so i have to write it down... thanks for your help.... i've tried searching about this too but didnt find anything... if i manage to i will also post it...
Someone called me, and I didn't have that number, I wanted to save it to existing contact, but when I clicked on save to existing contact, none of my sim contacts appeared. There wasn't a way to get to it either. I load all my contacts directly from my sim. Is there a way to move sim contacts to phone? or save current number to existing sim contact?
thanks.

Go to "Start/Tools/SIM Manager
The program SIM Manager is what you are looking for. (May not be in this exact directory but it shouldn't be to hard to fine. If not installed then just search for it here or on google)
When adding contacts from a call in that manner....it defaults to your phone...not your SIM
You CAN move all your contacts from the SIM to the phone by using the program listed above. Also you can use that same program to move them all back to you SIM if you so choose.
This is a really strange problem and I'm hoping someone can help me with it.
For some reason on my Treo Pro, there is this one specific random phone number which, although I can add it to a new or existing contact and it will show up correctly under that person in the Contacts app, does not seem to be recognized, remembered or associated throughout the rest of the phone.
Meaning, if I get an incoming call from that number it shows up as an unknown caller, displaying the number but no associated contact name. If I check my call log the number shows up there, rather than the contact name. Also in text messages, it just shows as the number by itself, again rather than the contact name to which it belongs. If I tap on that number in the SMS dialog, it tells me "This person is not in your contact list..." and asks me if I want to add them. And whether I add that number to an existing contact or create a new one for it, nothing changes. If I tap the number again, it still tells me it is not in my contact list. Over, and over, and over again. It just will not "stick" or take, permanently.
There is nothing odd about the actual number itself. It's the exact same format as all the other numbers in my contacts (1-416-xxx-xxxx). And I've tried adding the number in every possible way, with and without area code, '+' sign, '1' in front etc.. nothing makes a difference. I've rebooted the phone after adding it, and still no effect. It just will not recognize this phone number as belonging to a contact, even though under the contact it appears correctly, and I can call or text it from the contacts app.
Is there any reason this would be happening, or any way to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks...
I have the same frustrating problem on my Treo Pro - contact names do not display even though they are saved to phone memory. The only solution I have found is to delete the contact and create a new one e.g. from the number that appears in call log or SMS. I presume the reason is Sprite Backup doing somethig wrong with the databases when restoring contacts after hard reset.
Does anyone know how to save contacts to the sim card on the HTC Surround? The phone does not give you an option like all the other models did.
Also is there a way to change the way the contacts are listed? Right now it only list them first name first. It doesn't give me the option to change it to list the names by last name first.
But my real concern is being able to save my contacts to my sim card. Can anyone tell me how?
You can change the sort by going to settings, right to applications, click on People and you can choose first or last
I haven't seen a way to export but would be interested to know
I tried that and still does not give me the option to change it.
Hopefully someone will know how to save contacts from phone to sim card.
In the Messaging app when SMS Message are threaded it displays a picture from the person the message was sent by, and another picture that is next to the SMS that are sent by Me. In the CM6.1 ROM the default Picture is a Grey Box...
Is there anyway of changing this?
I wish, this bothered me SO much at first..
Handcent allows it in the settings fairly easily well worth the small price to support good product that enhances my customization.
In CM, go to Settings -> Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and put in your phone number.
Then make sure you have a contact with the picture you want to see in your contacts list associated with the same number.
And presto, picture.

This actually works...
Wish it would pull the picture from facebook like the original Slide ROM does, but at least the annoying gray square is gone..
Thanks for the help

Hi guys. I am also having this problem, admittidly with an HTC Saphire. I can't find any way to input "my number" anywhere. In settings "about phone" it says, number unknown and is greyed out. Anyone know how on a Saphire. Then maybe this would also fix my SMS picture problem.
Cheers, just in case.

The only downside I've found is that the setting doesn't stick through a reboot (so you have to put your phone number back in after each one). Upon checking, there's a bug tracker issue for that problem on the CM bug tracker so *shrug* hopefully it gets fixed some time soon.
Solution.
There is another longer thread somewhere on this, and the solution works, I have just done it.
Basically the sim card needs to be programmed with "my number". On my Magic, when you go to about phone, it would say number "unknown". Magic doesn't allow you to change this. Put your sim into another phone; I ended up using my girlfriends Backberry; and navigate to additional settings, or whatever, until you find Sim Card actions. Then in there edit sim card to show your phone number in international format (+44(leave out 0)**********).
Once done, pop card back into your phone, and as long as you have a contact with your number and picture logged away, then voila.
Works on any phone that allows you to edit sim card.
Hope this helps.

Madam*, I owe you a cookie.
*lol, couldn't find thanks so I clicked on your homepage...
Also doesn't need resetting after a reboot, however I had to reboot to make the pics stay after re-entering the messsaging app.
