I have a little problem and I don't know how to fix it.
I have contacts only on my mobile phone, on my sim card is empty-see contacts on sim card is disable.
When I got new call, from unknown person, I have info that I can add this contact to my list as a new or add to already exist. I want add as a new, so i'm writing all important info: name,last name,number... and new contact I see as a "unnamed". PLEASE .. help me fix it.
Ps. Phone HTC HD, WM 6.5 with manila 2.5 v 21.1.
Since it sounds like you're using a custom ROM, I'm guessing it's just a bug in the ROM. You should check the thread pertainning to your ROM.
I am having the same problem with no solution, please help. Anybody???
I have just found a solution. Don't add contacts the conventional way. Instead, go to start > Phone > Contacts > New
This way you'll be able to add the contacts you want properly.
:-D

well im sure this has probably been covered already, i did a quick search but didnt find anything. so if it has i apologize. now the problem im having is when i receive a SMS from some one in my contacts it doesn't show their name, it just shows the number that it came from with the whole number (ex: +18185555555) is there a setting that i need to set so when i get a txt from one of my contacts it shows their name?
thanks in advance.
maybe you have it wrong in the contacts?
Is the "+" in the number for that person in ur contacts? Try adding the "1" to the area code in there...
Are you running any kind of SMS software or contact software that might be screwing it up? I've installed SMS programs that completely sucked and screwed everything up...
If yo're running a 3rd party Rom, have you run the network wizard?

i just got my wing today, im coming from a MDA. i did a sync from mda to my PC installed the new wing sync software, then synced my wing it copied all my contacts to my wing. i was thinking of adding the + and the 1 to the contacts but that will take for ever as i have over 200 contacts. i just thought since it copied over my contacts with no problem when i would get a txt it would show the name just like my MDA.
I was going to say, make sure you're contacts don't have the "+" since that might affect it.
It should work fine, so I really don't know what to tell you.
If you jsut got the phone today, hard reset it and sync all your contacts to it again and try again.
If that doesn't help, Maybe someone else on here can enlighten us... but it doesn't make any sense, unless for some reason the numbers in your contacts are formatting incorrectly or something.
sigh, and i just got it going with all these new programs that are listed here. oh well ill just hard reset it and start over shouldnt be to much of a hassle. might as well put in a new ROM while im at it.
thanks for your help.
Might as well flash a new rom. The Stock T-mobile Rom sucks.
I'll suggest Touch-IT 4.4
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
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???
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
-TB-
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.
Might be a very nooby question however i have searched and have found little threads on the topic.
Recently upgraded from win mob 6.5 to MDJ's CyanogenMod v.2.6 and have a bit of a problem.. when i try to access the contacts tab it says "you don't have any contacts to display" yet when i put my sim in my old c902 all my contacts come up, bearing in mind that 99% of my contacts were saved to sim.
I'm not too sure what has happend... my contacts don't seem to have been erased so how would i go about getting them back?? tried import etc... says no files are found.
help would be appreciated!!
