I ditched Handcent and am using the stick text messenger.
Now I can see pictures sent to me
Problem is now it shows double everyone in my contact list and there is no way to filter "Show only phone contacts" or some such option.
I'm sure I have them saved to phone,sim and SD card . Which can I try wiping first and how ?
I'll try tooling aroind in Astro for a bit to see if I can find contact list and kill one of them ....
If you have another idea, Please lemme know.
I unmounted ad removed the SD card.
No dice... Same results.
Serves you right for ditching Handcent

Hello guys, I'm new to X1.
I put in my old SIM card and when I click Contacts, no numbers there. Tried pulling out the card and insert back in, no luck.
I went into SIM manager, it loads for 10 seconds then an error message pops up saying Undetermined Error... what gives?
Please help, I have some important numbers that I doubt I can get them back.
Bump... Please help guys... I tried google and search but no answers...
Hi there,
Having the exact same problem.
All the more strange, since I put my card in another X1 and there everything works fine.
I think this is a bug in the SIM manager version.
Did not find any solution, but I came up with this workaround:
I downloaded SIm Manager v1.4, copied the cab file to the X1 and installeded it. Your X1 SIM Manager is then replaced.
Start the SIm Manager and you will find it opens without the error.
Choose copy from SIM to phone and you can actually see your contacts.
I then copied all my contacts to the phone and I have now full acces.
In fact, it is more convenient, since managing the contacts in the phones memory gives you more possibilities, adding exttra info, using longer names, etc.
Hope this helps.

speaking of sim manager, does anyone know why it wont let me delete my contact on the sim card?
When I try pulling up peoples names when typing messages etc, I will always get two of each, because they are also stored on the sim card with "name /m, or/w" or whatever.
I try to do select all...delete, but no such luck
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???
I get an error saying:
The memory is full. Please delete some messages.
What does it mean?
And the error keeps popping up
I read somewhere it was because the sim sms box was full. I mean with 1gb rom and 16gb sd card why does it not store this information on the rom or sdcard?

The error can come from having Pics, Videos, Email, Ringtones all saved to the phone instead of the SD card. I would go through what is in your Documents folder and move everything to your SD card. It can also come from having programs installed to the phone memory.
Go to SMS. Delete any messages from T-Mobile or whatever your system provider is.
Then All Messages in the lower left
Menu on the right
Scroll down to Tools
Choose Empty Deleted Items
I had this problem too. Apparently by default it only moves deleted SMS to a "trash" until you do this.
But my memory is not full. I guess if have to delete some messages I will.
I had this same issue with one of my users, turned out to be the sim card. It was an older sim and i guess they do not have the same amount of memory as the newer ones. Get yourself a new sim and you will be GTG.
Messages stored on sim
GO to you messages and delete the messages with the icon of a sim card next to them. I just had this issue with my HD2 and now its solved.

I figured this out a little while ago, but it is still dumb that we get such an error.

Well it's referring to the memory on your SIM, not on your phone. The best way to avoid this is to just make sure you have the contacts on your SIM copied to the contact list on your phone, so the messages are saved in a way that doesn't cause this issue.
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?
