Problem with Contacts

[halek]

On a Galaxy S5

On the contacts where I have both a home and cell numbers entered, both will show as 'Mobile" when I open the contact list. Most of contacts came in when I added the sim from Consumer Cellular. I attempted to overcome that by deleting the contact and re-entering all the info as a New Contact but that did not solve the problem. If I review the info by editing the contact the proper home and mobile identification is shown.

While not the biggest problem, it is annoying when I attempt to set one of the numbers as default.

Sounds like most of that is in your mobile account contact list that will have to be changed in you account settings you have connected to the device

Hi, check if you have it set to display contacts from phone, SIM or both. Phil

I must admit that I do not understand what all is going on, particularly with the contacts.
I had the contacts to display set to "All Contacts".
I found that on the contacts with 2 phone numbers if opened that contact to edit then there are 3 items shown on the second line from the top (Google, Phone, & Sim). Usually Google is highlighted, if I switch it to "Phone" the two phone numbers are properly shown on the call page.
Even after resetting the Contacts to display to "Phone" the contacts seem to all open with the "Google" highlighted until I select phone.

Hi, you could try copying all your contacts from the phone to the SIM, then set it to display SIM only, it might work. Phil

Even more confused!
In the past when I first made changes to the contacts from the sim card and went to save them i would get the message: "Cannot save to sim, contact will be deleted from Sim".

Now I am unable to repeat that scenario????
