Remove SIM contacts from

I copied all my contacts from the SIM card to the phone. Now I have them duplicated on my contacts list. I've search everywhere and can´t find a way for it not to display the SIM contacts. I installed a advanced configuration tool that has that option, but it automatically changes back to show sim contacts
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

SIM contacts again
OK, but after turn off/on SIM contacts are visable again.
How, make them invisable permanently?
There isn't any option in menu to display only HTC contacts.
A big mess, I think.

you can use advance config tool

Hi ariana,
having the same problem.
Advanced Config Tool as well as editing registry directly do not work.
Specific registry entry is reset to 1 after reboot. And SIM Contacts still there...
Also tried Kaiser SIM Fix and Niki SIM Fix found here. Does not work either....
Very, very sad....

for me this is working very nice. i have 2 sims (vodafone and orange) and i'm changing both of them. and everything is ok.

How did you deact. SIM contacts?
Have you made any other changes (touch deact., other apps, etc)?
Perhaps the reason is somewhere in the start-up apps.
Just an idea.

I installed an app called iContact in my HTC Touch 3G, and is really useful, mimiking the iPhone. And obviously, you can ocult your SIM contacts. I recommed it!.

Only way is remowe manualy contacts from SIM, I think.

Yes, I gave up long time ago. I copied everything from the SIM to the PDA and then remove everything from it. It seems to be the fastest and simplest solution. Whenever I want to take the SIM out and use it on another phone, just copy the contacts back to the SIM using the built-in function.

has anyone found a better solution for this yet?

Hi.
Is there anyone that capable to redo a file like NikiSimFix.cab that works on Jade?
Thanks

With the Spb-Mobile-Shell you can hide SIM-contacts permanently.

I am not sure why it's not working on yours. On mine when I changed any registry settings and softreset, the changes stays there. For the settings HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim: 1 change to 0, when I changed to 0 (and then softreset), the SIM contacts does not show anymore even after many many restarts/softresets.

If this is no solution for you, it is possible to write an mortscript and autostart it to set the registry-entries on every new start of the phone. For details you have to read here:

SMS messaging displaying duplicate contacts

Hi there,
I'm having a small problem when I come to type text messages. When I add recipient, I have 2 entries for all my names; one sim and one contacts. I had a similar problem in my 'people' folder but there was a menu option to display sim only contacts. However there doesn't appear to be a similar option in the messaging menu. Does anyone know how I can overcome this so I only have one number displayed for each of my contacts?
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem and would like to know if anyone has a fix for this. Most annoying and has led me to delete all my contacts from my SIM card, which is not ideal as I like it as a backup...

Yes I was thinking of deleting all mine from sim card too but as you say, not an ideal solution if phone then ends up having a major crash!

BsB Tweaks and disable "show sim contacts"??

thanks ill give that a try. I'm quite new to all this as you can probably tell

hmmm..... I've installed the bsb tweaks (very useful program), and turned off the option for show sim contacts, but I still have the duplicate entries in messaging. any more ideas?

anyone have any other ideas regarding this issue? the option in bsb tweaks does not appear to make any difference.
thanks

does anyone know why I am still having this issue? I've installed latest version of BsB tweaks but I still get my sim contacts displayed when txting

Did you by any chance do a ROM upgrade and restored data from a back up software?
On the duplicate contacts, do you see a blank face and a sim card or two blank faces?

no not performed any ROM updates, just running the O2 rom (1.43)
when I go to add recipient after typing a txt, there is both the blank face and the sim card symbol for each contact

soft reset?

I had this problem, deleted all contacts from the device and just used SIM contacts. Works a charm. Use 'select all' and then delete...but make sure you are on the device list and not the SIM list, or you'll accidentally delete your SIM contacts (mind you, you could always copy them back if they're still on the device).

What I did is, I copied all my sim contacts to phone, then I selected to hide Sim contacts. I don't get any duplicates.

That works in the contacts list but doesn't seem to in the text messaging app.

Contacts problem

I can't select say the 'S' surnames in my contacts list, or go instantly to the names beginning with 'L' (for example). This feature looks to be there as the alphabet is listed down the side....so why doesn't it work? I have to either start typing the contact's name or scroll through my entire list. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

Works ok on mine, I just tap whatever letter on the alphabet list and the names starting with that letter come up. Don't know if it's somehow linked with the name sorting used? I use Company/Surname/First name as my "save as" option for my contacts

It works for fine me , strange problem though.
Possibly calibration issue or not touching the screen correctly (i.e. with fingernail instead of fingertip)?
To be honest I'm quite suprised how accuate it is for me, considering how close the letters are

Doesn't work at all for me and it hasn't on my previous two HD2s, so I don't think it's a screen (or finger) problem. It must be something to do with the way the contacts are stored or the way they have been saved? They are on my SIM and pretty standard, they've remained like that for several years and worked perfectly on many different handsets. I did think that it was maybe because I had not transferred the contacts to the phone memory - they are still just on my SIM - but when I copied over to the phone memory the problem still remained and this time I had two of every contact listed! I had to filter the SIM contacts. So, still in this strange situation, can anyone lend a hand?

Could well have something to do with that, no idea how or why though! So can't really help you I'm afraid but I hope someone's got the answer Might be worth you getting in touch with HTC support and see if they have a solution?

My contacts are save on the Phone, this is good for me as for backups I use activesync and MS MyPhone, it also means I can get more contact information. It could possibly be this as it may limit the indexing capabilities of the phone - this is only a hypothesis though.
Edit
Just re-read your post and noticed that you have tried saving to phone. I would still say something is making not able to index, what this is though is another question

Since I copied the SIM contacts over to my phone, I now have two of everything! I tried filtering out the SIM contacts but they were there again when I went back into my contacts list. How can I get rid of the duplicates, as this is more annoying than not being able to scroll through my contacts!
*I've sorted the duplicates, I filtered to device contacts, select all and then delete. I now have them just on my SIM. I still cannot use the quick scroll letters though!

HD2 Noobie Questions

Hello all. Im new to this forum. just got my HD2 couple of weeks ago and had a couple questions. The manual that comes with it is pretty vague.
Wanted to know first of all how to kill programs thats running (also is there a way to tell whats currently running). Theres not always an X to close out some programs.
Also I noticed a when I click on notifications when I receive a new message, there is a line that says "TMobile data" and it is constantly counting up. Is this something I need to turn off/on? I have the unlimited data plan.
Ive had the hardest time transfering my contacts over from my blackberry. I tried the sync thing and outlook but its not to my satisfaction. last name shows first and some email adx dont show up and birthdays and addresses are missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Am I the only one or does the speaker on the HD2 suck? I cant hear a thing when i mtalking to someone with the volume turned to max. If I switch to speaker I can hear them but then it's dostorted. i dont like having to wear earbuds.
I copied over some jpg files to use as wallpaper on my HD2 and some of them are not showing up. Also how can I make it to where the wallpaper does not tile?
Thanx In Advance.

winmo has a built in task manager. Browse to windows and find the file taskmgr.lnk (right next to taskmgr.exe)
Click and hold taskmgr.lnk, choose copy to, and select windows/start menu (you have to expand the windows folder by clicking the +, if you click the word windows it will copy it to windows)
Now you can go back to teh homescreen, and assign a quickink to taskmgr which lets you see whats running and close apps etc.
There are others available, but that will get you started.

Thats how long your data connection has been connected... not necessarily doing anything, just connected. If you are unlimited, then dont worry about it for now. There are apps that auto disconnect etc. Do some searching

first off, in outlook, set the default behavour to first/last.
Second, see THIS thread for a changer that will change all your current contacts.
Third dont forget that last/first will still be the behavour on the hd2 for new contacts, so when you are creating teh contact, scroll to the bottom and click more and choose first/last
(or personally i put the whole name into the first name field.)

[Q] Getting rid of SIM messages in Messaging

I put Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 last week, and I swear while I was setting it all up there was an option to show or not show SIM messages when looking in Messaging.
However now I am using the phone regularly I can't find it any more! Every time I reboot the phone, the SIM messages are loaded higher up the list than my actual text messages which is really frustrating because it makes it hard to see my current conversations.
Does anyone know where the setting to stop it showing SIM messages is?
Thanks!

Try deleting one of them, and if it is not deleted from the sim, the check box might appear again on next reboot. Else delete what you don't need
Interesting that you can import messages from sim but not save to sim, how many messages are there?

i think what you've seen whilst setting up the phone was the message "import sim contacts now" and not sim sms... there's no setting about that in wp7 afaik

I think there are about 20 or so SIM messages. I deleted one and it went away, but didn't give me any more options to delete any others and the rest of the SIM messages are still there.
Obviously I could just delete them all but I find it annoying there is not the option to just hide them from the messaging view or something.
