Hi
Running Litening Rom 6 and standard Kernel but think this is a general question
When I go into view the contacts I have the contacts are not duplicated. However when I go to send a text using GoSms or the standard messaging and select a contact they are duplicated?
Not sure how to remove these and if the phone is picking up names from both the sim and the phone for SMS messages. Checked the settings and cannot determine why names are duplicating?
Anyone got any way to remove this duplication or set it up that phone picks up contacts from just phone or sim?
Wrecking my head
Try...
"Contacts">Menu Button>"More">"Display Options".....
Fiddle around with the Sim/Phone/Google contacts settings and see if that helps....
Tried everything and still no joy? Updated to Litening Rom 6.1 and changed the kernel.
Removed Go SMS pro and then reinstalled and its seems to be picking up the names from phone and SMS. However on the contacts names are not duplicating. The display options show only contacts with phone option ticked also under select contacts to display under phone all other contacts is ticked and under Sim nothing is ticked?
Getting annoying trying to find names when texting and cannot even delete duplicate contacts under Go SMS
Anyone have any other options ?
Thanks
I have same problem.. With villainrom 3.0.. Where is the problem? Or better; the fix??
Same problem here!
On my old HTC Magic this problem didn't exist.
Any idea?
I had this problem. The SMS application was displaying both the phone contacts and SIM contacts. The actual contacts list was set to only display phone contacts, the sms app obviously ignores this and displays both.
I deleted the SIM contacts and that cured the problem.

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
does anyone have issues with messaging when adding a recipient the names are showing double? So basically seeing 2 contacts for everyone on my list.
Not sure what you mean - but maybe its caused by having facebook app installed and also a facebook account set up in Accounts in settings. I you have booth the Samsung and the official facebook then you might see things double.
It could also be caused by having both contacts in Gmail/Google and Facebook/Samsung/Exchange etc.
Try and explain the problem a bit more.
in 1.5, i didnt have this issue. I had facebook and gmail accounts under 'Accounts and sync'.
Try this.
Go to Messaging icon -> Click on the top right envelope -> Click on the top right portrait icon
This will now show you a list in your contacts. My list is coming up with 2 of everyone
In my contacts icon, i only see 1 entry for each person. So i am not sure what is going on
edit: Deleted all my contacts from my contact icons. Went to messaging icon and i see only 1 of all my contacts. So does this mean its reading my sim card? I cant find any settings to disable it and read phone only
ye i got the same problem..also...when i go into the application menu and rotate my phone horizontally the icons all cluster into one and it only clears up once i touch the screen..is it just me?
maybe i should rename this to litening 2.2 issues to help give feedback to litepro and help others with same issues.
I even put back 1.5 MMS.apk but it still reads everything twice
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
Hello,
I've sync my Gmail contacts with my ACE. I use the group "My Contacts" to save the contacts I use with the phone. I mean my primary contacts with phone number. Then I marked the option to show only contacts with phone number and unmarked all the others groups from Gmail, SIM card and phone. Doing that my list contact works well.
The problem is that every time I want to add a unknow phone number to my phone contacts it shows me all the others contacts. And others apps like GOsms shows me all the contacts I have in the phone and SIM card. I don't know what to do in order to avoid this. I tried to remove the unknow group from the phone but I couldn't. It is very anoying.
Is it possible to solve that?
Thanks
I have the same problem... All my contacts have multiplied... even when I do only phone number display checked I still have atleast 2 copies of each contact it sure is annoying only thing we can do is manually sit and delete them which is going to take ages... Go contacts has an option of merging you can try that

I don't have this problem when I use another ROM like Cyanogen. I don't if I could install the contacts application that is used with this ROM.
i am facing a very new annoying problem that i have noticed others are experiencing but have found no concrete solution. what is annoying/frustrating is that my phone was working perfectly yesterday. i have a new Samsung Galaxy S5 rooted with Xtreme Dynamic Kat ROM installed (4.4.2 based). i imported everything from my previous phone, everything was working great except that i noticed today that the "default number" for my contacts did not get transferred over for some reason. so for example i had a contact with several phone numbers, and one number was selected as the default (shows a green check mark next to the number). on my new phone the contact's details were all there except for the default number; it was missing. so i checked some of my other contacts and noticed all the ones on my previous phone with multiple numbers and default number set, the default number was missing on my new phone.
so i just used Samsung Kies to backup my old contacts again and the import into the new phone. big mistake apparently because now all of my messages (SMS/MMS) do not display the contact name anymore, just the phone number. same with the call/message logs.
other solutions i've read about out there suggest it is an issue with Google account and syncing, however i do not sync my google account. i removed my google account anyway so now my phone doesn't have a google account on it at all and i am still having the problem. i even tried using Titanium Backup to backup/restore my contacts and call logs and they still will not show the names. if i go to a message and then select "add to contacts" i can add the number again to my contact and then the name will show, but the number is the exact same. i know in some cases i will see the number displayed like +12223333333 or 2223333333 or (222) 333-3333 but i have some contacts that have the number shown like 2223333333 for example and if i open the message it shows the number just like that, so when i add the number to the contact again it will literally have two numbers displayed exactly like 2223333333 but now the name will show up; it's like all of my contacts are being ignored.
another thing i noticed is that right after i use Kies or Titanium to restore my call logs, my contact's names are displayed for a split second but then revert back to just phone numbers.....
yes!! i got back to how it was this morning at least... i found out that i had to go into application manager and clear the data and cache for contacts and contacts storage. this deleted all my contacts but then i restored the backup i had in Kies and now all of my call logs/messages are displaying the names again. however my default numbers are all still missing so i will search around for other threads related to that!
