Already Set to Phone Memory, But whenever am saving the new contacts it saves in Google. Don,t know why
I know what you mean, yeh. It's one of those glitches I think. My phone memory/sim memory numbers change all the time when I look in there, especially if I have to take the sim out. I think positioning of the sim is a factor too

PROBLEM Solved.
I already Set the Contacts option to Phone Memeory.
But Whenever you are trying to save a new contact, after the name option there is option of of Google, Phone and Sim. So evertime you have to select where you wanna want to save.

Hi all,
when i send a sms my photo do not appear, i have a grey square...
My profile is set correctly whith my photo.
Bugs ???
Check if you don't have your number also on SIM card.
Checked, my number is not on sim card or on phone contact, only on my profile.
contact/menu/+/myprofile
any idéa ?
Great, so on list of SMS click on your "gray square"
Standart SMS/MMS application:
It request you about adding contact <your_phone_numer> say yes, fill some stuff what you want and click again on "gray square" on top, chose picture what you want.
Handcent SMS
It forwards you to Account configuration, where is first menu "Account picture" so just select picture, that you want to use.
In native app sms/mms, that not work if i press on gray square nothing takes place
just an orange border is displayed around gray square.
I have installed handcent and all work fine...
I think that it is a bug of native app...firmware is v10b
Strange.... If I tap on contact which I know, it shows me ikons for call, contactlist, sms and sometime for email if I have configured it. If I click on "unknow" person, it ask me, if I want to add add "xxxxx" to contactlist. I have Neojn's void. based on V10a
Yes that work for me too with unknow contact, i have no problem for add a picture to a contact but for ME not work...MY photo do not appear at right of Me:blablabla...
In same way like for other it worked for me. Try remove your profile information from phone and make sure that you haven't stored number elsewhere and try again.
I tried several times this does not work...
factory reset -> not work...
on French forums several people have the same problem...
Little hazardous solution, but you can try install mms apk from me, for try if it helps.
But backup original apk, or better do nand backup.
Thanks, i test now after a nand backup
Not work, i try to install and i have error msg: app not installed
and if copy your file to system/app icon of sms not appear...
tomorrow i try void rom...
Same problem with void rom, it is really strange....
i have the same problem.....

LOOOL, you will not believe!!! I was thinking about and I figured out, that here can be only one differences between each other and it is language. I chosen English instead of czech and guess what!! It didn't works. So, dou know some other language or can I write "how to" in czech?
I have the same problem. Italian user.
I think, that creating new contact with picture and yours phone number (without country code) should be enough.
so i figured it out ! you go to phone dialer > contacts > menu button > more and my profile and there u go
i allready try this method but not work on my phone...i don't know what to do
for me its work only with handcent...
I think it si a problem of sim card, Mine is more than 15 years old...
On parameter/ about phone/ status/ my number phone is unknow...
Hi All,
Before you say it, I know what I'm doing and understand how Google contacts work, I had a HTC HD2 (thanks Pongster and XDA!) and I am used to Android.
I know how Google contacts work, infact I submitted a bug fix to AweSync to fix up their syncing of Google Contacts with Lotus Notes.
Why does the Samsung Galaxy 1 (and 2!) show me _ALL CONTACTS_ when trying to SMS people? or when I try to save a newly dialled number into contacts, it shows all contacts?
I don't want to SMS an email address! I don't want to sift through 1,300 contacts yet this idiot phone is showing me them.

It's listing email Address's in the SMS TO: field - yet I've CLEARLY unticked "All contacts" and I've made it only show contacts with a phone number.
What is wrong with this thing?
EDIT: also, forgetting my ring tone every time I reboot isn't impressing me either.
Okay, I can't answer all your problems, and I do agree that the management of contacts on this phone is pretty poor, but there's obviously ways round certain issues.
One thing that will immediately help you is to use the contacts app to send SMS, rather than the SMS app. Select your contact (filtered as shown in your post) and you can swipe them left to SMS or right to call. That's a pretty handy feature.
However, if you're sending a message to more than 1 person you're back to square 1. I'd strongly recommend getting GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts (both free) from the Market. They're excellent replacements and I'm sure you'll be a LOT happier with them.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

It does what you describe above. I don't know what you expect it to do though. You dial a number, click "Add to contacts" or "New contact" to either list all your contacts or create a new one.
is there any solution to this, i quite like the messaging app, but find it quite annoying when i have to search through hundreds of contacts, or else exit out to the contact application to text some1 who's actually in my contacts list ....
Its not a deal breaker for me, i prefer the stock than go sms or handcent, or any alternative i've tried, so if there is no fix i'll grin and bear it but if there is please help out
.... its not that i prefer the stock to any other, its just that no other provides anything that makes me want to move from stock, and since both will be running anyways it seems pointless to be wasting battery .... also i found double contacts problems with other apps aswell

It's just poor design by Samsung.

Why? I think it is a good idea, since I very often MMS to email addresses! It is very handy to automatically downsize an image to MMS size when you are sending it to a person who you know will be looking at the email on their phone (e.g. my friend in Japan doesn't have MMS at all, over there nearly everything is email).
Been wondering about this too, i know the contact app you can customize what to show, which is fine, but the sms app show everyone you have been in contact with on google. Only "fix" i've found so far is to use another SMS app that can filter the contact list.
The solution is very simple. Just open display options in contacts and select only display contacts with numbers. Also untick everything that you don't want it to display. I don't save any numbers in phone or sim card so I save it to gmail account.
Even if I select only gmail it shows lots unnecessary contacts. So I went to gmail on my laptop and opened the contacts (phone book or something like that. Its been over a year so I don't remember)
I created a new category (u can choose an existing one) and transferred every single contact that I needed under it.
And thats it. Everytime I format my phone I just go to contact display settings on my phone and only choose the category that I made. And it only shows the contacts that I need.
It works also if u want to save a contact. I chose to save contacts to my gmail account when it asks. And everytime u save it saves it to the category that u choose.
I have been using this over a year and work flawlessly. I remember beig sick of choosing amongst 1000s of contacts.
I tried to explain as I could. If there is a problem ask me I will try to help.
Edit:
I realized this doesn't answer ur question about sms. This doesn't fix that SMS list behaviour.
So I had a HTC HD2 that I could merge facebook and phone contacts into 1 contact on my phone. I got the Droid X2 and that feature is not available. Is there a rom or something out there that will fix this. Have multiple of my contacts so annoying.

That is frustrating, I know. I don't know of anything that will do it for you. I've always had to do it manually. When you see multiples of your contacts, select one of them (one without a picture, usually). Go to edit contact. Once you are there, press the menu key again, and you will see a menu pop up with a "join" option. Press join. You will then see a screen with the contacts that match up with that one. Select the one you want, and it will sync the contacts.
Yes, it's time consuming and annoying, but I haven't found a better way.
FYI: When you flash different roms, be prepared to do it all over again.
Hope this helps!
if they're named the same I gotta say I think they merge automatically.
as mentioned above, I had to manually "join" one of them, cause the guy has his FB name reversed last/first, but other than that I think they all did it automatcially.
It will merge automatically for the most part. There were a few cases where my contact on phone and Facebook had the same name but I had to merge them manually

Thanks for the response. I have tried that per the instruction booklet and there is no "Join" option. I have contacted Verizon about this when I first go the phone and they where stumped as well. Their response was to contact Motorola and see what they say. LAME!! Im thinking about flashing to another rom and see what happens.
Hello,i wanted to set up my most called contacts as shorcuts on the home screen on my Evo,but when i chose shorcut>direct call it gives me only people with phone numbers imported from my facebook account.Is there a way to give me the contacts from my sim card only so i choose among them.I tried with people widget,but in all groups it gives me to choose from contacts from my gmail acc,only in the frequent group displayed me the contacts from my sim card,since they were the ones i called mostly.
So how do i get the phones on my screen from the sim card as shorcut?-or i should use another app from the android market.
P.S. In people i've set the options to show me only contacts from sim card and phone memory.

Try this.... Go to your "people" app and open it. Click the phonebook tab at the top, it'll let you choose which contacts to show. That's how it works on the Rom I use, (mikrunny 3.5 sense) might be different on yours. Hope this helps.
This is what to show in people app,in my case when i pick address book ,yeah i see only people from sim card.But i wonder why when i try to add the contacts as shortcut dials,i see only the ones from facebook.
is there anyone who tried to make such speed dials and experienced such difficulties?
P.s. Anyway thanks for the try
Hi all
Just got the Gear S, do not own a Samsung Phone, using it standalone (for now).
Anyone figured out how to add contacts to the watch?
I select "Contacts" from the menu. All that is happening is the spinning animation with the text "Syncing contacts". I can't add a contact from the message app or the call log either.
I dont want to go back to memorize numbers again.
edit1: tried to add some contacts to SIM card. Not picked up by the watch.
edit2: added some contacts to SIM card. They do appare on incoming calls, and appares in phone application when searching in the dialer.
You can't. Majority of the functions of this watch requires a Samsung phone. The only thing you can do is make or receive calls, send or receive SMS. That's about it. Some built-in apps may work (weather, HERE) to certain extent. Most apps won't without a phone.

Yepp, unpaired and alone this thing is dumber than a dumbphone. Not a problem for me actualy, I have a dual sim phone, so I just dump all the contacts to the sim card. I can see who's calling me and search my name in the dialer. The "contact" homescreen does not work, but that is fine by me.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to run the gear s as stand alone and getting my contacts to appear was the main issue holding me back. I was happy to discover the trick about activating it without a Samsung phone and your contact trick might be all I need.
I carry two phones - work and private. My private phone is a phablet that I love (Nokia 1520) which I do all my emailing and browsing on. My work phone is just for calls and sms so the smaller the better (carrying two phones is a pain especially one being a phablet), but I need my contacts to sync via my exchange account so I use a small smartphone (Nokia 800). I'm hoping I can go Nokia 1520 and gear s stand alone using the tricks posted here.
The gear s seems like a perfect solution - I actually need the two phone numbers (and, yes I have thought about a dual sim phone but there are issues with that scenario). Although, I am suspecting that as much as I love my 1520 I might end up getting a Note 4 to make it all more convenient, but I just hate the thought of android, sorry.
My SIM contacts automatically shown in Gear. But i want to add new contacts. Is that not possible?

I think Samsung may have out-of-the-box disabled that feature simply for that reason-- to encourage users to have to use it with a phone. However, on the Tizen Developer website they list the source code for a simple contact manager (ah! New user, can't post links yet... just Google the Tizen SDK) that is able to interface the contacts API. This should be pretty simple/straight forward to compile and implement for the watch with the SDK.
I haven't quite made a decision about whether to purchase the S, or if I had more time at the moment, I'd do it. However, my point being the contact restriction I believe is only concerned with the built in contact app... I see no reason why another app should not be able to access it and thus get around the apparent limitation.

You can add contacts. I just did it. You have to log into your online account via your cell phone provider.
