Weird SIM contact registration problem

I have a weird problem with my Nokia 6230i. When I try to save a new contact to my SIM or copy from phone memory to SIM (name length fits to SIM restrictions) I get an error message telling the attempt was unsuccessful even though SIM memory has enough space.
However, when I turn off and turn it back on the phone I can see the new contact has successfully saved/copied to SIM. I couldn't solve this weird problem. My SIM card is a newer one and I can use it on another Nokia without any problem. I also tried another SIM on this phone, still no success. Can anyone help me on this issue?
The firmware version is 3.88.

That is because iPhone sim cards do not store any information on them to be transferred in the first place.
You cannot store anything on the sim card of an iPhone - it is just not possible.
If you want to transfer information, then connect the phone to iTunes and do it like this as was intended, but you could wait even longer than all night and nothing would happen wth a sim card, because it's not possible.

Sim contacts Problem

I have started using i Phone today first time, i have cut my sim into micro sim and now it is working in my i phone. The only problem is this when i go to "Phone" and click on contacts it does not show my contacts already in my sim. I am worried for losing my contacts.

N78 Persistent 'Sim Card Registration Message'

I have scoured the internet for answers on this problem, and i cannot find anyone with the same problem as me, so hopefully one of you could shed some light on this problem;
I recently purchased the N78 from my sister in November-ish of last year, it was a SIM free one, so i was able to put my Three (3) SIM card in (She was recently on 02 if that helps) it worked fine for say, about a month maybe, until the message 'SIM card registration failed' kept appearing, i just ignored this for a while as i presumed it was something to do with it being on 02 for a bit. after a few more weeks it kept appearing more and more, at that point all the signal bar went to 0 and i couldn't make or receive calls, unless i switched it off then back on again, after that it worked fine, and i was able to call and send/recieve texts (until the message appeared again). After a few more weeks this kept happening more and more and I kept missing important calls and texts (as I did not know when it would happen, it just happened at random intervals)I contacted 3 about this problem, and they said it was due to the faulty SIM card, so they sent me a new one, which worked for a while, then the same thing happened again. So I eventually gave up using this phone altogether, and used it solely for the connection to wireless internet and for the music player, which both worked fine.
Yet, earlier I attempted to put my SIM card back into the phone and it stopped working altogether, the message appeared all the time and i could not make a call or send a text whatsoever.I put the same SIM card into 2 different phones, and it worked fine, except my old Nokia 6288 'SIM Card Registration Failed' kept coming up, and has done for quite some time, but it didn't interfere with sending texts or making calls at all.I put a different SIM card into the Nokia N78, and it works perfectly fine, the message does not appear!
So, in short i cannot use my SIM card in my N78, but i can use it in other phones, yet I can use other SIM cards in this phone with no problem.
Any help at all would be greatly apprecaited.

sees like you have had exactly the same problem as me. my second-last phone was a 6288 and after about a year of use, I had that SIM registration failed message come up. had nothing to do with my network (i am on 3 Australia), and i am sure it was just the firmware of the phone playing up. i just ignored it and restarted the phone when i had to. after a while, it went away. I haven't had the same problems on my N78 that i purchased about six months back, but if you have early firmware version on your N78 (say the original 10.136, 11 or 12.046(, I would suggest seeing if there is an upgrade for your phone. there should be, as 20.149 and 21.002 has been rolled out pretty recently. I am still with 3 and haven't used any other network's SIM card so can't vouch for the experiences you have with other network providers. But as happened with 6288, i don't think its the SIM card or 3 or O2, i think its the phone itself.
if you can't find a firmware update for your phone via NSU or FOTA, then take your phone to a local Nokia Care Centre and they'lll be able to upgrade your firmware for you. hopefully it all goes well for you , tell us how it all goes.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Nokia Suite 3.2 SIM contact storage and account lo...

Hi,
In order to backup onto my laptop, synch'd contacts using Nokia 3.2.100. Found that while contacts on memory card were synched successfully, SIM contacts weren't.
Is this a known issue with this version of Suite. Know that earlier Nokia PC Suite would backup SIM contacts also.
Also unable to login in to Nokia account from Nokia 3.2.100 as login tab keeps coming back. Use same login successfully on any web page.
Look forward to responses on above issues.
Cheers

Have u tried copying them to a notepad file from the Nokia Suite directly instead of the folders in ur installed files?

Can't move sim contacts to phone memory

Dear Friends,
I bought nokia e5 newly. While i am trying to see my contacts, phone is not showing the sim contacts.
While i search in internet, They told that menu->option->sim contacts.from this location we can copy. But in my nokia e5 , it is not showing. But while i am getting incoming calls, it showing that name.
Whle i am going to contatcs->sim numbers, It have only fixed dial contacts.
Whether my sim is locked?
Please help me.
It urgent.Because i have more than 200 contacts in sim.

These keystrokes are for the N97 but the C5 should be similar. Try Contacts>Settings>Contacts to display, select SIM memory. This should allow you to use your sim contacts.
Now to copy all to phone memory, goto Contacts>Options>Mark/Unmark>Mark all>Options>Copy>Phone memory.
Once you have copied all your contacts to the phone memory, you should consider deleting them from the Sim as they may otherwise cause Caller ID problems, as in you may not see the callers name when they call.

I cant save numbers on my z10 nor see my sim contacts

Hello all. I have a problem with my BlackBerry z10
1) I can't see my sim contacts and when I go to All it shows just some few contacts that I saved in my phone a whole ago
2) when I add a new contact it saves but I can't find it anywhere in my contacts.
This is giving me serious headaches now. Please can anyone help ?

I guess by default the sim contacts were not shown.
1. To make it visible, open the "Contacts" app then swipe from the top edge of the screen to see the "Settings" icon, then on the "Settings" scroll down and look for "Show Account in Contact List" turn on SIM Card Contacts.
2. For the newly created contacts not showing, there where two options,
2.a Using local contacts, on the New Contact screen click "Save to:" then check "Local Contacts"
2.b When saving to Gmail Contacts or other Online Accounts make sure youre online, or else it will now show the newly created contact.

SIM card registration error after SW upgrade

Hi
After I upgraded my Nokia 6110 Navigator to SW 4.22 I get insert SIM or SIM card registration error. It happends approx. once a week. Before I upgraded my mobile it never happend. Why?
BR / haav

This is often a problem with the SIM itself. That it started showing just when you did the firmware upgrade could be coincidence.

N79 showing no more than 92 SIM Contacts after lat...

After I've updated my N79 to the latest firmware 30.019 I found that its showing no more than 92 contacts from my SIM card (about 240 contacts), and as I store all the contacts on it then I have no option but finding a way or another to store all of them on the phone ... I'm not pleased by this as i try to put all the contacts on the SIM in case of empty battery of something like that.
Please anyone have the same problem or anyone have an idea about how to fix it.
Note: I've tried to reupdate it via NSU and to do a hard reset but in vain

I am facing the same problem after updating to 30.019 my N79 was displaying only 91 contacts while in the contacs info its was showing 206 contacts on sim.
I have resolved this problem using following steps
1 Take backup of all phone contacts using the OVI after successful backup.
3 Change contact setting to display only phone contacts
4.Delete all contacts from the phone. Now ther are only 91 (actual 206) contacts from sim and 0 from phone.
5.Change contact setting to display sim contacts.
6.Copy these 91 contacts to phone and delete these 91 contacts from the sim.
7.Change contact setting to display phone and sim contacts.
7.Reboot the phone now phone is showing next 91 contacts from sim and 91 copied contacts from the phone (actual no may differ depsnding upon the actual contacts in the sim).
8.Change contact setting to display sim contacts.
9.Copy these 91 contacts to phone and delete these 91 contacts from the sim.
10.Change contact setting to display phone and sim contacts.
11.Reboot the phone now phone is showing next 24 (206 - (91 + 91)) contacts from sim and 182 (91 +91) copied contacts from the phone (actual no may differ depsnding upon the actual contacts in the sim).
12.Change contact setting to display sim contacts.
13.Copy these 24 contacts to phone and delete these 24 contacts from the sim.
10.Change contact setting to display phone and sim contacts.
11.Reboot the phone now phone is showing 0 (206 - (91 + 91 + 24)) contacts from sim and 206 (91 +91 +24) copied contacts from the phone (actual no may differ depsnding upon the actual contacts in the sim).
12 go to contacts mark all contacts from the phone and select 'create backup' option , phone will ask this will erase all data from the Sim card' select 'ok' and take backup.
13 go to contacts marl all contacts and copy to sim. now there are 206 contacts on sim and 206 on phone.
14 Change contact setting to display phone contacts.
15 Delete all 206 contacts.
16 Change contact setting to display phone and sim contacts. Now there are 206 contacts from sim (in the contacts info 206 and actual displaying 206).
17 connect mobile to pc and restore oroginal phone contacts (back up in the step 1) using ovi suite.
After this you will have all your phone and sim contacts.

E71 Contact search problem

My contact search function on E71 is ok, just that I can't call out 2 entries in contacts.
1) 1Jen
2) BJ
As these 2 names's second character is "J" it is also "#" and the first character are also with numbers. That is why the home screen showed
1) 1#
2) 8#
And it gave me the phone numbers which was the 1st and 8th stored on my SIM card contact.
I used to be able to call them without such problem. Only experience this today.
Does anyone know how to turn off SIM contact reading?
Rgds,
DB

Firstly, open up each contact in turn and select Options>Play voice tag - this will tell you how the phone interprets the name. As you are using abbreviations, the voice recognition system may be interpreting the text strangely.
It is also possible that the problemis caused by the shortness of the name. Often, it is better to have a full name (eg: Marcus de Bruyn) instead of a shorter form (eg: Marc) because when you say a name with more syllables you give the recognition system more data to work with in comparing with your contacts.

Hide SIM contacts on Treo Pro???

I just got a Treo Pro and cannot figure out how to hide the SIM contacts after I sync. I used SIM manager to import all of my contacts so I can assign tones/pics, etc. and now I have duplicates in my contacts. Is there any way to hide the SIM contacts from the list? Thanks in advance from a newbie!
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

There is no setting to hide SIM contacts on the device. If this is something you do not want you would need to pick either the handheld or the SIM card and delete them from that location. Honestly I would keep them on the phone and sync them to Outlook where you can keep a back up there if you need to.

How can i separate my email contacts from my sim contacts?

i just recently got my iphone 4s. Synced my contacts. but since i also set up my emails boxes on the phone now all contacts wether they are email only or sim contacts are all jammed into one list.
Is there anyway i can put them up in groups or let my email contacts go away.
Thanks

First you export your Yahoo contacts.
Actions / Export All, and select: single vCard
Then import the vCards to your Address Book, using File / Import.
Mail will find the addresses in the Address Book, as needed

HT1692 I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; twpo problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my calendar will not syncd at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do no

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

Weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem

weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem:
Hope this solution helps someone out. If you have q's, ask
and I will try to help.
I was having a weird problem in dreamweaver... Whenever I was
in code view and typed "shift+i" to make a capital "I", instead it
would paste from the clipboard.
I finally figured out what was happening. I compared the
menu.xml in my app support folder in the user library to the
original menu.xml file that was in the application folder. I went
through until I came across the diff:
menu.xml in my library/app support folder:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
orig menu.xml file:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
There was a diff in the "platform=" tags. The orig stated
[platform="win"], my config stated [platform=""] (nothing in
between the ""'s). So, I reset the platform tag to be
[platform="win"] in my settings and then relaunched dreamweaver. It
fixed the problem.
Not sure how this occurred, but it works now.
