hi, there are a lot of latest HD2 android room base on EVO rom, but with htc sense in EVO contact, there are no option to not view or hide the sim contact. is there anyway to make it not to show SIM contact in EVO sense build?
Thank in advance.
yeah, I second this, how do you hide it???
I had that problem also. I solved it by using a other dial app,called dialer one,free in the market...just try that one. Do not forget before install that app to turn off everything like sim contacts with the original dial app....after that with dialer one you only see gmail contacts in my case...good luck!

if you randomly go through and delete the duplicate SIM card contacts that you see does it erase them from the SIM card? If it doesn't I would just rather do that. Thannks in advance.
Sorry for bump, but did anyone found solution?
These SIM contacts in dialer are extremely annoying. You can hide them in contacts, but not in the dialer.

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
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???

You need to transfer your contacts from your sim card to your phone.
Hi, I believe that you have to save your SIM Contacts to your phone and then you can add pictures and put them on favourites. There is an Import SIM Contacts feature under People/All People/Menu. i think you can find information on this in the User Guide.
Regards.
thank you, you guys helped
by the way.. when i get a new txt message it shows the previous message that i already replied.. do you guys know any solutions for that?
