I'm getting duplicate contacts. Sometimes it happens during sync. However, here is the thing, often it does this when I restart the phone. So after it boots, I go to the contacts list and I can see it blowing through there. Is there ANY fix for this? (vent - for 10 years this has been a problem with these devices). Does it have anything to do with the SIM card (I haven't loaded contacts on it, it's new from Cingular). Is there any way to prevent it from writing to the SIM?

Is it possible to disable text messages on the sim card from appearing in the Messages folder without having to delete them?

Hmmm... are you sure this is the right forum to ask this?
i am using WM6....and the messages on the SIM card never appeared in WM5...so i think this is the forum i should be asking the question on? the ROM is PDAVIET 4.0.0.3 if that helps as well
Not sure if this is the right forum to ask too but I am also facing similar issues and haven't been able to find anything relevant despite trawling the forums here and elsewhere.
Here's specifically what I am experiencing:
- SMS that are saved in my SIM are getting loaded (and reloaded with each soft reset or power off/on)
- these SMS are loaded with a current timestamp (i.e. they are always current) hence often new incoming SMS are getting pushed back on the list
- this is getting really irritating as I always have to scroll back to see the latest SMS
I don't remember seeing this on WM5 and in fact I thought I remembered that there was no easy built-in method to load SMS that are saved on the SIM.
Short of deleting those SMS (which I would really like to keep on the SIM), I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know if there's a way to stop those SMS from getting loaded from the SIM.
Am currently using WM6 on HTC Hermes (Dopod 838 Pro).
hello
ive recenlty purchased a streak and was wondering if anyone has had this problem
ive imported my contact list off my sim card (i couldnt do it from my old sd as it corrupted ) now every now and then ill go into my contact list and itll wipe all the contacts and then re-add them
i did have to update the phone when i got it, which doubled up my contact list, but i had to factory reset due to not allowing me to enter 3g settings and now it does this
any ideas?
not to worry
i was browsing on here and i decided to download go contacts and all is fine now
Helo all! I know i am a noob here so i doubt anyone will help but.... I have an issue!
First, thanks to all who worked and figured out how to root and get JB on the Tmobile P769, awesome job!
Before reading any further i should state i searched the heck out of this subforum to find my answer but either im using the wrong search criteria or noone has ever run into this before.
Here is my issue, after rooting and flashing to JB all the contact info for my messages and phone calls is lost.
Basically both of these will only use info from the sim card and NOT the joined contacts i have set up in the phone (profile pic, ringtone, fb, ect). When i save said contacts to the phone (again) and rejoin them, it gives me multiple phone profiles but after i reboot it goes back to reading from the sim card.
For those i dont have on my sim card everything is fine and the joined contact info shows up.
Obviously i could just delete all contacts from my sim card as a fix but i was wondering if anyone had this same issue or knows how to get around this? Am i missing some option in the setup to push contacts from the phone and not the sim card?
Also, on the Contacts tab under settings -> display options -> choose contacts to display: i have it set for Custom; Phone/Starred/Facebook.
Thanks for helping me with this annoying problem and i hope to help others with there questions in the future as a return!
just wanted to post that some how i magically fixed this.... im not sure what i did tho! haha.
I was deleting contacts from my SIM card, it crashed, came back and everything was fine. Short of not recognizing my sim card and needing to reboot the phone, it was like magic.
Thread can be closed as im not sure what i did to fix and wont be able to help others if they have the same issue.
Hi,
Having issues with setting preferred SIM on individual contacts? It seems to remember when I set SIM 2 for some time, but then everything just defaults back to SIM 1, regardless of which SIM that contact usually calls in on. All of my contacts are either on Google sync or Exchange sync.
Anyone else? I'm on stock ROM v1.72.
I have the exact same problem. Came here searching for a solution after two weeks ago I put a second SIM into my Z7 mini. Although I select SIM 2 as default communication card and I select the switch in all contacts to card 2 it stucks to card 1 and ignores all the settings. Only disabling card 1 lets me call with the second card.
In my case I have a Z7 mini with stock ROM 1.76
Has anyone found a solution for this?

Yes. Apparently one of the apps for my workplace insisted on synching all contacts every 24h. I fixed it by exporting all contacts to my Google account and the problem disappeared.

Not an option for me Actually I have to set card 1 and card 2 back and forth for every contact until I see that I'm calling with the proper card. Either that or disable one card, call and re-enable it and re-set all card configuration. Not the way it should be but...
hey guys,
when i logged in to my google account, my contacts arrived without any problem. however, when someone calls me, i don't see his name on the screen even though his number is saved in my contact!!!!
i tried formatting my device many times, but this problem kicks in.
every time someone calls, i get his number only (unknown caller). it is like i did not save the number at all!!!
how to fix this? can i do something on the device itself? or i can even use an app to fix this issue?
thanks
What country are you in? and what version of android? Try adding the country code to your contacts. I had the same problem with my consumer cellular 4.3.
