SIM Contacts problem - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello all,
When I am typing a contact name while writing a new text message,
it has somekind of auto-complete and it shows me contacts to select in order to send the message to.
I did the tweak which hides SIM contacts when navigating through poutlook but they are still there in the new text message interface.
Is there a way to not show SIM contacts in text message and emails too?
(I dont want to erase my SIM card).
thank you all.

no it doesnt.
the fiture of 'show sim contacts' under 'phone' is set to 'NO'.
I dont see any sim contacts in poutlook but the auto-complete in the sms section still uses contacts from sim.
maybe there is another tweak..

i have the same problem. Also, contacts retrieval only works when using T9 as input (no suggestion/search for contacts when u use any of the querty keyboards with T9 disabled)

double contacts in SMS "to:" field

okay, ive searched around for this answer, but could not find it...
The problem im having is that when I type in a contact in the To: field when writing a text, every contact has a duplicate.
I know this is probably caused by having both phone contacts and sim contacts, I have used kaisertweaks to hide sim contacts, but it isnt hidden when I try it when writing a text message.
any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
Delete your SIM contacts if you already have them backed-up. No point in having them on your SIM unless you're switching phones or worried you'll lose them. As long as you have them backed-up why keep them on the SIM?

Contacts - show only phone contacts?

is their a way to show only the contacts on phone memory? It shows both my contacts on sim and phone memory. Or do i just have to delete my sim contacts? I got the Tilt with the att wm6 rom
use Schapps Advanced Config
search the forums for download
ok, i'm in a good mood, i'll attach cab.
wow, nice program. thx a bunch!
Having same problem, SIM contacts show even after checking DO NOT SHOW with Schapps Advanced Config and then soft reset. If I don't do SR SIM contacts do not show.
Use Kaiser tweak (a must have!!!) - you have there an option that says:
Contacts
\Sim Contacts
"Show or hide the contacts stored on your SIM card from the Contact screen. Note: This option is reset when you reset your device"
Slide Options:
Show (default)
Hide (Advised)
Select "Hide"
That should take care of it...

Can´t send SMS ??

Hi, I had my HTC DT2 for a week now, and in the weekend when i recived a sms and should answer the sms a box came up with "can´t send sms" Have tried switching on/off different things but can´t still send sms. I switch my sim card to a regular gsm phone and it worked perfect, so can some one help me !!
I think the problem is, that outlook saves the contacts with a + and a space between the prefix and the number.. e.g "+49 69123456". try to delete a contact and add this person again with your device and try again.
I have changed my numbers from +46707.....
to 0046707... and just 0707..... no success ! I can receive sms, but not send !!
I have not get my contacts from outlook, they where saved on my simcard and exported when i put it in my HTC TD2, and i can call the numbers, so just why sms? I have downloaded 2pch ring tones from a webpage, could there be some sort of virus ?? I have now deleted the 2 ring tones, but the issue remains.
You need a few settings in your phone to be able to send sms. I have a swedish device, and I guess yours is too? Anyway, I'm not sure what those settings are called in english, so I'll guide you in swedish too. =)
The first is the number to your "SMSC":
Settings - Phone - top thing... "service"? and then SMS
Inställningar - Telefon - Telefontjänster - Röstmeddelanden och SMS
Tele2 is my provider, so I'll have +46707990001 as my SMSC (SMS-servicecenter), check with your provider what number you should have there
Second setting is under advanced network(?)
Settings - Connections - Advanced... - SMS-service
Inställningar - (Mer) - Anslutningar - Avancerat nätverk - SMS-tjänst
I'm not sure if you need to change this, but try set it to only GSM.
Hope that'll work.
had the same problem, ensure that the mobile phone number you are try to message is saved under mobile number in the contact. If it is saved as work number or something else you will have problems sending sms's don't know why but that's how i solved my problem.

Messaging doesnt show all contacts in "To" field

Ok, I know that title is a little convoluted, but I don't know how else to put it. Basically when entering the recipients name in the "To" input field, some contacts don't show up. Example: Say I wanna send a text to Brian Knoll. I open Messaging app and start typing his name in the TO box, I get Brian Davids, or Briannna, or Brittany, but no Brian Knoll. I'd have to back out, search for his contact via phone search or contacts app and then compose a text that way. This is the same for about half my contacts and is NOT rom specific. I know it's not SIM contacs screwing it up either, cause I can store a brand new contact and have the same thing happen when trying to find it. What gives???
I also noticed this problem. In fact, I only get listed those contacts which have been synced from Facebook but not the ones comming from the sim card...

I think as far as your problem is concerned, You can fix that in contact settings > import/export > import SIM contacts.
make sure its saved as a mobile number and not home or work it won't add a home number cause you shouldn't be textin a house
Easy fix.
Go to brian first and then compose the text message.

[Q] How to disable SIM contacts?

It there any way how to disable SIM contacts?
I'm using Google contacts but I have also contacts on my SIM card in case my phone die. Then I can use my SIM card in another "spare" phone to make necessary calls. I don't want to delete my SIM contacts.
I found that I can filter contacts for dialer in 3rd party applications
but haven't found anything for SMS contacts. I'm using GO SMS Pro.
I always got duplicate contacts when I need to add new SMS contact.
Thanks in advance for help
Goto contacts>more>display options here you can disable sim contacts.
Unfortunately this doesn't work for the SMS Contacts. It works in Dialer and Contacts itself but when you access Contacts from SMS app I always have duplicate contacts. :-(

this happen when u have some voip apps like nimbuzz and some like that it add contacts in contacts open ur contacts and see is any thing duplicating or it is just one.
hi, my phone doesnt have any voip applications or anything like that, yet it still displays it.
anyone knows how to set it so it doesnt?
yeah, noticed that too long time ago, didn't find solution so I deleted contacts from SIM.Anyway, it's a lot easier to update contacts on google than to make backup every time u change (add,delete...) something in contacts...If telephone dies-buy another Android device...it would be a pity to downgrade...
