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.

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
Hey all, I bought HD2 a few days ago.
Still learning the WM stuff.
Contacts
I can't make contacts with many characters cus it's on the SIM, how do I transfer all contacts to my phone?
Ringtones
How I put my own ringtones?
Cus I saw that there's only built tones and u can't edit them or add my own.
Startup
One more thing, how can I make startup for apps that I want to be loading when turn-on mobile?
Thanks for the help, Ziv.
If u have the contacts only on your sim, u have to edit them(first copy them from sim to phone via sim manager)
U can put your own ringtone to your storage card/my documents/my ringtones
if u have to change the ringtones for sms, u need to copy them to windows folder

I've done it already, "Save to Phone" option.
but still I can't rename my contacts if the name is too long.
u are probably trying to rename the contacts on your sim, u have to rename the ones that are stored on your phone

User manual, this unknown tool... ;-)
In the contact list MENU > SHOW > ALL/CONTACTS/SIM
I dont have my Leo here, but when u open the contact app, every contact has an icon on the left side, and sim contacts have different icon than contacts on the phone. U can hide the sim contacts via bsb tweak application.

well, I done it but just the BattClock works.

OK, I've downloaded SIPChange now it works thanks
and I still can't choose my own ringtones & sms.
I put it into the \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones.
and the SMS ringtones I put it into \Storage Card\Windows\SMS not working.
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?=??

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???
I have noticed that having too many messages saved messes up the fluidity the device. So I started to delete my messages but it was still a bit laggy. However I found that the messages I deleted were still being saved in the deleted folder of messages. I cleared the folder and the phone runs smoother.

Firstly, awesome username.
Secondly, thanks, will take a look.
I'm guessing the "Clear the deleted message:" option in All Messages -> Menu -> Settings -> Options is the one to remove this step?

Somehow i wonder if this "feature" actually works.
I've set mine to delete immediately but all my messages still stay in the deleted folder. Heck, sometime after claearing it, the old messages stil suddenly reappear again :0
another tip is clearing your cache, i used a handy program called cleartemp from opnmarket and you cans et 3 custom folders also,

I have noticed that as well, I had to manually do it even after I set that feature.
A number of people, myself included, have mentioned that since installing any JI6 based Captivate Froyo rom, the Contacts 'Group' feature is broken.
Selecting a contact from a group (e.g. 'Family') sometimes opens the correct contact, other times an incorrect contact opens, and sometimes a screen pops up asking us to pick an application from the provided list to be used to open the contact.
When I was trying out some of the I9000 based Froyo roms, I noticed that none of them had this problem. So last night I decided to replace the '/system/app/Contacts.apk' in my JI6 (Cognition 2.2vBETA8.1) with the apk from an I9000 Froyo rom.
With a couple of issues (see RED below), the Contacts 'Group' feature now performs without problem, always correctly opening the correct contact.
I've attached the replacement 'Contacts.apk' file, just BACKUP the original file in your '/system/app/' folder, then swap it with this one, then reboot.
You may find that you need to first 'chmod 666 /system/app/Contact.apk' before you can replace it. Just chmod it back to '644' after replacing.
NOTES:
IF THE AT&T CONTACTS SYNC FEATURE IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, DO NOT USE THIS FIX. THIS IS AN I9000 FILE, IT DOES NOT HAVE THE AT&T SYNC.
If you have any direct dial shortcut on your home screen, you will need to delete and rebuild them after applying this fix.
I found that simply by selecting what groups I want displayed in the contact list fixed all the problems I had.
Contacts > Menu > More > Display Options > Under choose contacts to display, select the dropdown you want to see. I only use Google contacts, so I selected All other contacts and Starred in Android contacts under Google.
Like I said, this fixed everything with wrong contacts being displayed when I tried to call or text the person.

That may work if you only use Google contacts, but not for 'Phone' contacts, contacts stored on the phone.

Has there been any confirmed instances of this problem existing with 'Phone' contacts. I've only read about the issues with Google Group contacts, a problem that I am too experiancing.

I ONLY use phone contacts, no Google contacts, and no SIM contacts. And this Group bug has vexed me since day one of the leaked Captivate Froyo release, and continued on every Captivate Froyo based rom (e.g. Cognition).
Replacing the Contacts.apk file I attached in post #1 of this thread fixed it for me.

Ahh, I see. I tested it out, and I see what you mean. All contacts witin the Groups tab are affected. Up until now I only used the groups tab to check google contacts (since I didn't display them on the 'contacts' tab).
Looks like I'll have to give your "fix" a try. Thanks!!
swapped out the attached apk file using root exporer. Rebooted. Contacts crashing on startup. what am I doing wrong?

Perhaps some of the DEVs (e.g. DG) might want to swap out this apk in their roms?

Well, that does fix the issue, but causes another one that will surely cause and uproar, again...
This will remove the integrated AT&T address book syncing.. a lot more people use it, more then I thought...
Okay, I'll give it a shot.

That makes sense now that you mention it, since its the I9000 Contacts app.

Just found another issues, the phone totally wigs out when using a direct dial shortcut on the home screen..
says its unable to make the call, then if you hit end call it hits the button you cant see, which makes it try to call again, you have to just wait or you will get into some crazy loop.

Thanks for catching that DG, I added it to my disclaimer.
This works great; I am running Cognition 2.2 Beta9 and the only real issue I had was this. I have a large number of contacts and depend on groups. Thanks
For anyone having issues you really do need to edit the permissions; otherwise you will run into problems but it may look like the change was made. I used Root Explorer and copied the original Contacts.apk to a backup directory. Then I went back to the system-apps directory and changed the permissions to rwxrwxrwx and copied the new file over the original. Then changed permissions back to rw-r--r--, which is the default setting and restarted the phone. It works perfectly and I can even use all the homescreen shortcuts (Direct Dial); I did have to delete and recreate them though.

Good to know, a bit of a pain, but at least there is a workaround to the problem DG found. I'll update the OP.
Any way to keep the video call option from coming up with the direct dial link?
I just don't want to see it, since I can't use it... It takes up precious real estate on the little popup list of options.

I don't get any popup options with the "Direct Dial" shortcut. The only dialing shortcut I get a
popup with options for is with a "Contact" shortcut.

The contact shortcut.
Works great!! thanks!!
this is my first time flashing to cognition from stock 2.1 rooted.
Just copy this file to the system/app directory.- i used root explorer - do not delete the old one, just use the copy and paste option.
Then Reboot!
thanks alot!!!

If you are just calling the contact you may just want to use direct dial, or direct messaging if only texting. I don't know of any way to change the contact options for a contact shortcut.
