Hi
I am using the ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ version.
In contacts i have selected the option to display contacts with number only.
However when i search for a name by typing i get all the contacts like email ids containing that name???
Its time consuming to scroll down and select the contact with phone number and dial it!!
Please help
how about filtering out the contacts with e-mail e.g. gmail account contacts? (menu -> contacts to display)
or you can customize the view at the same menu (menu -> contacts to display -> customize view -> uncheck the contacts that you don't want to view)

Guys, i have a problem with this ROM. It's related to PHONE.apk. Every time i try to add a contact it goes to GOOGLE CONTACTS and not the phone contacts. Even when i restored my vcard it only shows google contacts when i clic on the contact tabs. Is there a way to see the PHONE contacts and not google contacts ??
In the display options there is no option for display only the PHONE CONTACTS
Tks guys
I believe this is just something you change in your settings in accounts and sync?
Nope. I just don't know how to display only the phone contacts. There is no option for that.

You could try using an alternate dialer.
Can you give a hint on one?
For my phone, i just go to the contacts screen press the left button and select "display options". In that screen you should be able to select "only contacts with phones" and it won't show any of your contacts that are just email addresses, or twitter, etc
I have V4.5.7. though so I'm not sure if it would be different.
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 select display only phone contacts but when type a letter to contact search bar it displays all contacts which results
emails from my gmail profile etc
i don't want to see all contacts when i click search. i want to see only phone contacts
how to fix this issue ?

Good question. A pet peeve of mine also.
Hello all,
I am using Xperia P on Jelly bean (4.1.2). I had accidentally unlinked a local contact from whatsapp contact. I tried to link it back but I only find other contacts in the local phone contact list. I tried to delete the contact and add it again, but the whatsapp icon doesn't show in the local contact when I viewed it in phonebook. I synced the Whatsapp under Settings -> Accounts -> Whatsapp but when I viewed that contact in phonebook the whatsapp contact still doesn't show. Is there anyway to link the contact to whatsapp like the way it was before?
How exactly did you unlink it?

Hi carlaba2. Under edit contact, there is an unlink button under each local contact linked to whatsapp.

I just did the same for one of my contacts just to see if I found a way to solve it.. no success for now
I have managed to solve this very problem with the help of the WhatsApp support.
Open Settings
Go to [Accounts and Sync] > [WhatsApp]
Press the menu button and choose [Remove Account]
Go to WhatsApp and refresh your contacts. All the contacts in the phone book will be fixed.
The procedure may differ a little depending on your device - e.g. on a Galaxy Note 3 you have to choose [Accounts] in the [General] tab of the settings, then you have to tap [WhatsApp], [yourphonenumber] and [Remove Account]. Hope that helps!
Removing the whatsapp account will also delete the messages.
Here is the right way...
1. Have a whatsapp message sent to the contact which was unlinked.
2. Delete the mobile number from the phone's contact.
3. Go to whatsapp and the open the message of the contact. Note here in whatsapp that only the number is shown, not the name.
4. After opening the message click "add" and choose existing, browse to the contact that you have unlinked it from and select it.
Also note that the number is added to your address book with the full country code.
This problem is solved..
Just sign in to your whatsapp in any other device and resign in to your device.. then all the contacts will be refreshed and it will normal.
deleting the number or removing account will have their drawbacks.. like deleting you from the groups, also deleting your admin rights of the groups if any.. deleting the previous messages and chat history..
so simply sign into any other device and then get back to your original device.. :good:
Hi,
I use the usual samsung dialer and love it.
When I go to "contacts", i filter them by choosing the "Show only contacts with phone numbers" from one of the menus.
Problem is the search option. When I search for a contact (by first name for example), it completely ignores the "Show only contacts with phone number" and shows many emails (from gmail contacts).
This is very anoying. How do I show onlu contacts with phone numbers when searching, without changing thw dialer ?
Thanks!
Lior
