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!!

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 ;-)
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???
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.
