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?=??

Not work men, any idea???
I guess there is no solution for the HD2 except to delete.
Contacts -> Menu -> View -> Is for Contacts, but I have acctualy never had contacts on my SIM card, so I have no idea if it works for SMS...

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???

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

welcome to this forum
here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265
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.
Hey.. this might be a really stupid question but I got my HD today and I have copied all the contacts from my SIM to the phone. Now when I go into the contacts it shows both the phone and the sim version of that contact. Is there anyway to hide the sim contacts so it only shows the contacts saved to the phone? this is quite a basic function in most phones so im assuming you can do it and ive just no been able to figure out how. Cheers.

You failed to search before posting a question. Use either HD Tweak or Advanced Configuration to solve your problem.
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.
Anyone solve this yet?

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
my contacts are in my sim and I copied them to phone memory to get extra fields to edit. now there are duplicated contacts in phonebook. it's showing both sim and phone memory in contact list. I used filter and choose only phone memory in contact listing but after closing phonebook, filter is turning back to list all option automaticly. is there any way to set and save filter "only phonebook" option?
i knew someone would pop up with this. no i didn't find any solution.
(other than) thanks to my service provider, i have 64k sim. phonebook1 and phonebook2. both store 250 contacts. only step i have to do is goto sim manger, switch to other phonebook and restart. there my problem was solved. but still any one with a fix?

You can also use "Advanced Configuration Tool".. Besides many usefull Settings you also can change, which Contacts to Display
Sry, I'm not allowed to Post links...

hi guys i need your help with my noob problem...
in some weird way my SGS isn't able to find my sim contacts even though they are there.. i can see all of them when i want to write an sms for example or when i punch in a phone number.. but the contact list is empty..
Ive tried to look in the settings to see if i aciddently unticked something.. but it seems that the phone/andriod doesnt have an option to switch between phone and sim card..IE im not able to point the phone to my sim contacts
This is my first android.. old htc diamond/nokia user
Anyone know how to solve this crazy problem
Thanks in advance

Open up your contact list and press the menu button > display options > tick SIM. It should show your sim contacts now.
Hi
Thanks for the reply
but i dont have the option to choose SIM, just phone, facebook and Gmail
-TB-
Thats wierd. I don't know why that would be.
I also have this problem
hmm maybe its a bug
maybe its a euro rom problem? flash to new rom maybe?
Sorry to bump this.. But am i really the one with this issue?
-TB-
Mine let's me have that option. No problem wither showing or hiding contacts from SIM cards.
