thanks but i need the oppisit i dont need the sim contacts
I also have this problem. Did anyone get only Gmail contacts to display? Not the SIM contacts.
I am interested to know how to hide the sim card contacts also in 351 - anyone has succeeded?
I use Go contacts. It will solve ur problem and available free on android market. But works great when u hav rooted phone along with Go laincher. Wht I did is disabled dell stage and enabled Go launcher as default. It saves memory and works great.
Umm, what I did was:
1. Go into your contacts.
2. Click the middle button between "Home" and "Back".
3. Click "Display Options".
4. Uncheck SIM contacts.
That should do it.
My solution is a simple one: don't put contacts on the SIM card. Haven't done it in 2+ years, and see no need to do it now.

"import contact from sim"...copies all contacts from sim card to phone,....for setting contact as favourite, it should be on phone, not on sim
i have the same problem as raphy82.
I import my contacts from SIM, the Pop-Up seems to copy the contacts from SIM to internal memory. but after copying, my contacts are not on my device. only on the SIM.
I use the newest official htc rom 3.14 since today.
I have found a solution for the contact import problem.
You have to open the sim manager in Phone/Contacts/Menu
Mark all your contacs and select copy in the menu.
Your phones copies your contacts on your sim to your device.

HEllo, Diaclone^
Thanks, i worked,
in my phone it says not "Copie" but "Contact to SIM ..."
Just click on that and Voila...
Now you have your contacts both on Sim and on Phone =)
Good Work and Thanks

When I start a text and put in the name of the contact I want to message, duplicates are showing. I have it set so it doesn't do this for calls, but I can figure out how to do it for texts. It shows 2 of every contact. Is there a way to set it do it only pulls names from either the phone or sim?
Any sUggestions as to why this is happening?
do you use gmail to backup and save your contacts?

I already did that. i dont have this issue for when I make calls and look up names, just texts. Im not storing my stuff on gmail either
This all started after I tried to update my phone to the newest update thru mini kies. i ended up having to wipe my phone and restart. I did get the update, and now i noticed its doing this.
It looks as though the Messaging contacts display is ignoring the 'Contacts-->Display Options' settings. I have my phone contacts set to display just the names etc from the Phone memory, not the SIM memory and it works well - no duplicates. However, when composing a Message or Email and press the Contact button, the list of contacts shows 2 of everybody. I've gone through everything obvious but can't see it, now turning to the experts for advice please? What do i need to tick/untick remove or whatever to put this right?
Any suggestions how to make this stop?

Are you using gmail to backup your contacts? If so just go into gmail and consolidate all the dupes than delete the contacts saved on your phone and sim. Had the same problem with dupes in the messaging. If you need more help just shoot me a pm

Which ROM are you using?

My contacts are not backed up to gmail, and im just using the regular stock rom. I dont have phone phone flashed/rooted/whatever.
I had the same problem
sign in to gmail on your computer click contacts it will display all including the phone numbers stored on you your phone if you delete them all (contacts with phone numbers) it should take off all duplicate contacts away
but make sure all phone numbers stored already on your sim card
its something about MIUI if you ever used it before
if that didn't work I know for sure if you have a gmail contact and a phone number contact with the same name and you trying to send sms or mms it show both of them as to send to at that point I would edit the first name of gmail contact by adding * to the name
Hope that helps
But I dont have any contacts listed on my gmail contacts when I sign in on my laptop.

the only thing i can think of that after you restore your phone do you restore it from backup that it has a duplicate contacts ?
or go under contacts/press the first key to the left/display option/ choose phone,sim,gmail (all) then view your contact list and delete all duplicate contacts
best thing i found is to store contacts on sim only that allow you to import them to any phone and also to your own phone after you wipe it off
My contacts show up fine in my address book, no duplicates. So I know the issue isnt with that. There are no duplicates on my phone.
I dont know what to do. Ive tried everything, and its really annoying when trying to send a text to go thru all those duplicates.
when I go to create a text, there are also email addresses showing when I begin typing a name to search for a contact. I dont know where they are coming from

You need to backup all your contacts to gmail. First.
Go to accounts & Sync and tap your google account or any other email accounts you have on your phone. It will give your sync screen, see if "sync contacts" is ticked there. If it is then try unticking it, see if that helps.

Already tried that. It is unticked
My contacts wouldn't show up in contacts even after I imported from sim card, so i kept inporting them to try and get them to show up, however now in my message app, it shows the same contact about 7 times because I imported them so many times trying to get them to show up in the contacts list. Anyway because they don't show up in contacts i can't delete them, is there somewhere on the phone they are stored so i can delete the whole contacts file and start again?
doesn't matter figured it out myself
Can you share the info with us?
Goto contact then menu then view it gives you choices of what contacts you want

well i didn't figure out where they were stored, but i just went into phone settings then applictions then found the contacts app clicked on it, and hit the clear data button, it must have deleted all the contacts with this because it seem to fix the issue i was having also. And now my contacts show up.
also on my phone, there isn't a view options in the menu of contacts?? strange.
I tryed it but after importing my contacts from sd card it dosent show on contacts.
I wanted to get rid of groups from google.
Fixed the issue by going into display

Have you tried importing your contacts from your googlemail account? Go into settings on the contacts apparently and get it to sync the googlemail account.
Does anyone have the issue of duplicate contacts in messaging? I see all my contacts twice in messaging when i go to create new. For whatever reason, it reads the sim card and phone contacts. In my phone contacts it only shows one of every contact. I have tried reflash/wipe and checked messaging contacts straight away but it shows SIM contacts as a default. There is no way to unselect this option.
running XXKG2 litepro 3.1 so not sure if different ROMS make a difference
OK, you are running KG2, so that's 2.3.4 right? AFAIK, there is an added option to view/add contacts from SIM cards now which was missing in the first place. So there may be an option to see only SIM/Phone/Google contacts. Try to find it if it is there.
Regards.
This option is not available in messaging. I have looked but cannot find. In the contacts icon, you have the option to see sim, phone, facebook etc. But selecting what you want to see here does not reflect in the messaging app
yes i am running 2.3.4
I maybe wrong but in 2.3.3 this is what I get by pressing Menu- More- Display options- Select contacts to display under Contacts, so are you getting this option or not?
Regards.

but you are doing this in contacts. If you go to your messaging. Create a new message. Select a contact from your list. My list has everyone twice.
There are no options to select what to display in the messaging app
am i the only one experiencing this???
me too, i have duplicate contacts too :S
Same for me... Whyyy????
same here... on 2.3.4. kh3
IF SOME ONE FROM U GUYS using BackUp PRO app from market this is your ISSUE !
Go to the Contacts app, press menu and select Merge with Google or something like that. Then check contacts.google.com on your pc and remove the duplicates.
Nothing above worked for me!
Seems sms app opens contacts app regardless of view options set in contacts app.
Tried GO contacts and sms but same problem
I've just changed for a P20 Lite and inserted my SIM card. When using the Contacts application, I noticed that only the phone numbers with whats app are shown. the other contacts can not be shown and I even cannot register any new contact in the application. Can anyone give me some help about how to solve the problem ? thank you very much !
In contacts app tap three dots in right upper corner. Next settings - display preferences. Check what is marked. Must be all contacts. Check your sim card, do you see any contacts, if not change slot
