what about going to Contacts and then checking Menu/View/Contacts ?

Here is my problem or annoyance if you will. I added my contacts to my phone and added their email accounts and numbers. I synced Facebook to my contacts so it would merge my contacts with their Facebook pictures and such. Well now my contacts show their name twice. One being Facebook and the other being the phone number on my sim card. Is there any way to merge them together and have my contacts listed just one time in my contacts folder?
Did that make any sense?
If you go to Contacts>Menu>Display Options you can edit the options to show contacts from SIM card or not, have you tried that?

Well the problem with that is that I can not edit the contacts with Facebook information. It will not let me add a phone number. This would be sweet if I could do that because then I would not need the contacts that I saved to the sim card.

Try copying your contacts from sim to phone. Then go to the options to only display phone contacts.

Most likely you have more that one vcf file on external sd being restored .

Thanks for the responses guys. I will try to copy the contacts to the phone and see if I can get a merge going.
Also it's better to have them all saved as Google contacts anyway so if you lose your sim or do a factory reset they'll all sync up again after you put in your gmail info on initial setup.

Looks like importing from the sim card to the phone fixed my problem. This merged all of my phone numbers to my friends list from Facebook. Thanks!

I

go to contacts, display option, and then click on gmail account below the line "choose the contacts to display". Now unceck all box. click on "done"
Now only SIM contacts will be displayed.
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.
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.
1. If a contact is on both SIM and phone, they merge into one and I can't assign ringtone to that contact. How can I make them not merge?
2. Some of my Whatsapp contacts are not showing up in address book as having Whatsapp. Have refreshed and restarted phone and stuff, still doesn't work. Some of the contacts show the Whatsapp logo just fine. Any way to fix?
Many thanks.
Have you try assigning only one either phone or sim?

Was wondering if there's a way to do it without deleting contacts from SIM..

Aosp based Rom / contact app doesn't support using SIM contacts as default contact. You can only export SIM contacts to phone.
Samsung has 100% advantage over Google when it comes to contact management
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Ok, I Import my contacts from sim to phone.
Now I must select option "Gmail Acc" to see only my sim contacts, without skype, viber contacts ?

with the CM10 you dont have access to the SIM card, so you cannot import/export to or from SIM card. no access at all to whatever you have on the SIM card...i have same problem, any help....? even third party apps from play store cannot access SIM card

Probably a bit long winded but you could make a backup, flash a stock rom, save ur sim contacts to ur sd card then restore ur backup and import them. I eventually realised there's no point in using ur sim card, I've just got all my contacts on Google now and use it by default, it syncs automatically so if u ever lost ur phone u could get ur contacts back on a new one easily
