How to delete SIM contacts?

[Guest oggie41]

How do you delete SIM contacts on a HTC Hero? They are currently duplicating as I have them saved as Google contacts. I'm using Villain 3.4 (Android 2.1).

Thanks, Dave

Villain is currently based on an Eris leak, so it doesn't know what a SIM card is :)

Basically, you'd need to do it in another phone. The next build of Villain (4.0 beta it should be) will almost certainly be a legend-based ROM (the dev has announced he's testing it right now), and this will allow you to disable sim contacts as per usual.

So, short of using another handset, it can't be done yet...

I had the same trouble, finding myself with a mess of duplicate contacts after importing them from SIM.

At first, I couldn't figure this out, but then it hit me that it is pretty easy to do via the View filtering in the People app.

Go to People > Menu > View, there check just SIM contacts and uncheck all others. Then go back to People > Menu > Delete > Menu again > Select all and confirm. SIM contacts gone. Then go back to View and reenable your other contacts.

Hope it helps
