Sim Contacts.
Posted: Fri May 09, 2014 8:54 am
Just installed DW Contacts and it's great!
I have a problem with contacts that I hope can be cleared up. Got a new Moto G phone, stock Android KitKat, and plugged in my old sim which had all my contacts on it. Imported those contacts into the phone storage and have subsequently heavily edited them. Now I have a problem when I bluetooth my phonebook to another device (my vehicle in this case). What I get on the 2nd device is a composite of the new contacts in the phone and the old contacts in the sim, so for example I have two copies of the same person (since the names are slightly different, for example forename/surname vs only forename), one with old outdated info alongside the one with new updated info.
Using the toolbox in DW I can view the old contacts on the sim (the only tool I have found to do this, great) but cannot do anything with those old contacts. In short, I would like to delete all the old contacts on the sim. Can this be done in DW, or in stock Android?
