hide/show sim contacts - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I know there is a way to do this but does anyone know what program/registry setting i have to change in order to get the sim contacts hidden so I only have the outlook contacts? any help would be very much appreciated

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"ShowSIM"=dword:00000000

Wow. I was just thinking of the very same thing. Thanks. I was wondering if there was a program to toggle this on and off? Maybe Mortscript could be used for that. I'll have to look into that.

hehehe...
Just search the forums for SIM contacts registy.
thx for that one! after searching for half an eternity, i guess i found what i was looking for...
if u didnt want to show SIM contact in Contact add this key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"ShowSim"=dword:0
is there any other way to achieve what i am trying to do...?!?
anyone?
btw: how can edit the registry without installing an extra reg editor like resco explorer...?
thx in advance, especially for concrete answers or links....
That's the only way I know to hide the sim contacts (or delete them from your sim)
To do that you will need a registry editor, resco is a good one.

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

Try this reg edit.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim: 1 change to 0

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

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.

Help. Hide Sim contacts for SMS

I tried searching for hours. When you go to write a new sms you click on the avatar icon in top right corner to choose your contacts for the sms. It shows both phone contacts and sim contacts. I just want to view phone contacts to choose from.
I have my phone set to view only contacts from phone. I even tried this registry edit HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone -> ShowSIM=0
I know that BSB tweaks has an option to hide sim but I suspect it doesnt hide sim contacts for sms also. I try and stay away from these tweaking programs as much as possible and do everything with registry or small cab mods.
Is there a way to hide these sim contacts for sms?
I make backup and deleted contacts from sim card.
i'm also facing this problem =.= many of my sms (conversation mode) shows the SIM sign instead of the picture/photo integrated wif my phone contact. And I want to keep my SIM contact as well in case of emergency so i cnt do what deserted did :/
Seems to be a simple issue that just doesnt have a solution other than deleting the contacts on the sim card.
BSB tweaks does not fix this issue either.
Anybody know how to do this? I just can't believe that deleting is the only solution.
SOS
I need the solution too, anybody?=??

Works for me.
Then you are the only one. Sim contacts are still shown on mine. For the contacts page it does work. But go to messages and the sim contacts are still showing there.
we most definietly need a small cab or tweak for this...
i mean.. compared to all the other amazing stuff you developers end up doing.. this should be a walk in the park..... do we have any takers... i also can't imagine it taking that long either...
before you say it...
if i was talented enough or knowledgable in that depoartment.. i would be making crazy cabs for this community left and right.. but unfortunately.. i can't.. my talents lie elsewhere... so please.. can someone just resolve this issue???
