Hi All!!
I have a little problem.
I don´t want my sim contact showing in phonebook.
( I get double post of contacts in phonebook becuse I allready have phonecontacts showing).
How do I disable sim contacts from showing in phonebook??
Have tryed Advanced config to disable sim contacts, but after it resets the phone the task have not been saved. I dont know why.
There must be a way to disable them throu windows.
Thanks for all your help

and yeah next time use search botton
i'm using DiamondTweak and there is an option 16.1 sim contacts, where you can choose to hide them. that works for me.
edit: i just noticed this option will be reset after you do a soft reset
I use mortscript for that. It's a tiny script that executes after each soft reset and disables the sim contacts in my contact list. I already posted that somewhere here on the forum how to do that. Please do a search on mortscript + hidesim.mscr and you will find it.
EDIT: read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2486985&postcount=2
or use the cab file in the last post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2486985#post2486985
Exactly NikiSimFix.CAB works great!
Thanks for helping me
Installed NikiSimFix.CAB and everything is great.
That simply doesn´t work for me puting the "showsim" option.
I´ve only made it with sktools, but after a softreset it´s there again.
sktools doesn´t insert the showsim either. I´m clueless where it is disabling this
Edit: forget it! my bad. Was checking on HLM.

as the title says since i flashed with crossbow when i open contacts i see all the contacs which are on the sim and all contacs which are on the phone.
which means alot of the contacts are double
with all other (pre-crossbow) roms i never had that problem, i couldnt find anything using the search. so i ask if anyone know a way to "fix" this or make an option to only show phone or sim contacts?
change registry as follows:--
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
ShowSim=0
It should work...
the key wasnt there so i added it.
but it didn't work, als tried ShowSim=1 and also tried altering the other keys there (AllLang and Group) but no effect
thanks for the effort though
Works!
Hello, go under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone and you'll find the ShowSIM value. Set to 0 and you will not see anymore your SIM contacts
the key wasnt there so i added it, this one worked
thanks
Well, was my first message in this forum, I'm happy was useful ;-)
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
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:

thanks i'll try it
so at the end i've preferred install icontact and problem solved
hello,
I'd like to know what I should do so that every time i softreset the phone
the input-method remains "phonepad" and the sim contact are not shown together with those one in the main memory (i set it through advanced settings but it changes to every soft reset) ...
Any suggestion?
thank you very much
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008
Try this.
thank you very much, it works...
any other idea on how to fix the sim contact problems (to hide them permanently)?
thank you again
transfer your sim contacts to your phone memory
fixed it
, I used a cab that hide the sim contacts.
Abouts contacts:
do you know how to export them (address book) on mac to edit them and replace?
I cannot find the folder where they are stored...
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.

Yes, look at post 12 in this thread. I had this problem but don't anymore after deleting all device contacts and just using SIM.
up. need help on this
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???
