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 everybody,
first I want to thank you for all the great instructions and FAQs, they really helped a lot.
However, I finally bought myself an Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 and flashed it yesterday with the Resurrection 1.8.1 ICS ROM (which is really amazing). But I am experiencing an issue for which I couldn't find a solution.
After synchronizing the S2 via MPE with Outlook, and saving the contacts only on the phone they disappear after a while. But not the contacts which are linked to an online account (Facebook etc).
I think this issue was also raised in [Rom](M5)[Pitch Black](tabletUİ)[AOKP-B35][04/05]Resurrection Remix ics v1.8.1[4.0.4] (page 2546):

And i got battery draining.
Thanks a lot ...
Amazing rom. I like Resurrection Remix.
After no help and still problem with loosing contacts I moved to "CriskeloServanTEAM-V8-LP7" and now all is OK.
Please can you fix this bug?

Does anyone now what I could do without having to sync the contacts with Google.
Thank you for your help.
Have you checked to see which contacts are selected to be displayed.

Thanks for the quick reply.
All of the contacts are displayed, because I did not sync it with Google.

I think he meant when you go to the Contacts app, then open menu > more > display options, you can choose various options here. Under the "select contacts to display" heading, if under phone, nothing is checked, then it will not display any local phone contacts. See if they are all un-checked here.
EDIT: Oh, you're on Resurrection Remix, which is an ICS ROM. Could be slightly different for you. But the idea is the same.

Your are right if I uncheck everything no contacts are seen.
But if I want to view the contacts I saved on the phone (phone-only, unsynced contact), I have to show "All contacts", but after some time these contacts disappeared.

Hmm.. Turn off contact sync on your google account, maybe?

I disabled all synchronization except Google calendar, then I also disabled the synchronisation with Contact-sync.
But still the contacts are deleted. The only contacts which are left are either synced with HaxSync or Whatsapp.
Does it mean I cannot leave any contacts which are not synced with something?
It should be possible to leave some contacts on the phone itself?!

That's very weird. I can save a new contact that is "phone only" and it displays just fine, and is never synched to my Google account. (though, I really don't understand why people don't like synching to Google. It's like automatically backing up your Contacts online. What's not to like?)
Can you post some screenshots maybe of your display settings with all the settings expanded?
Just save all contacts to SIM memory, not in Phone memory.

It's NOT normal. As I said, it works fine on my phone. Again, please post screenshots of your settings. I'm guessing there is a wrong setting somewhere.

Could you specify which settings you need, or do you need all of them?
Would you mind telling me your settings in the meantime and I compare them with mine.
Thanks again for the help.

I was talking about display settings from your contacts app, like I was suggesting in post 4.
For me, (I'm on GB still) I open contacts, menu, more, display options, and expand out phone. I have everything checked here.
I don't know what it looks like on ICS, as I'm not on ICS... but if I can see screenshots of a similar screen, I may be able to help you. You may not have that set of contacts set to display.
EDIT: I got a hold of a work colleague's i9100 who has ICS installed on it, and found the menu steps...
Ok, so on ICS, it's a bit different. From the Contacts app, hit menu, contacts to display, customize, then expand out phone. Are all the checkboxes here checked?

If I check all of them I have ca 150contacts, but after I have synced it with MPE I usually have over 500.
After some time (or a sync with an account I guess) the contacts decline only to the contacts which are synced with an account.
Currently, I have one possible solutions in mind which is however not satisfying for me:
1. Syncing all contacts with Google.

I was concerned about JUST the checkbox entries under "Phone"... which isn't in any of your screenshots.

If I click on "Contacts to display" the options of the first Screenshot show up. So there is no "Phone" option
I just created a new contact which is then included in the googlemail account and then shown as "phone" and other shown as "connections".
Hope that is what you ment.

It's not what I meant... it's really strange; on my co-worker's phone, on the screen of your first screenshot, he has Phone and SIM displayed, in addition to his Google account... but you do not have either. (So krasavchik's suggestion above wouldn't work either...)
What ROM are you running? Is it a custom ROM, or are you on a Samsung stock firmware?

It is the Resurrection 1.8.1 ROM. I think this problem was mentioned in a post concerning previous versions but I don't know if it is still common in 1.8.1

Whoops! You mentioned that in your first post. And I even acknowledged that fact in post 4. Silly me... Sorry.
But that's still really strange that Phone and SIM don't show up in that screen.

Hmm... so it sounds like it is an issue specifically with this ROM. You may want to inquire in the ROM thread to see if anyone else using this ROM is able to get "Phone" or "SIM" contacts to show up in the contacts app.
Okay well the contact list on the galaxy s3 is pretty annoying , all my contacts are sync with facebook and google. How can i just see my contacts on my sim and nobody else.

menu -> contacts to display -> custom -> tick whatever you want.
Go to your contacts. Hit your menu button. Then contacts to display. Should be good from here.

by doing that, you will only not display the contacts, but they will show up anyways when you do a search within contacts,
is there a way to not sync "other contacts" group in ICS?
setting doesn't stick
contacts to display resets when you exit and go back in. is there any way to make that setting stick?
thanks

This is how you do it on the older version of Sense (my DNA has not shown up yet, so I'm still using my Rezound):
Bring up your apps list and select the "People" app, or go into the phone dialer and change it over to the "People" tab at the bottom.
Touch the "Phonebook" dropdown at the top and uncheck the "Phone" in the list.
Tap the "Phonebook" dropdown again to close it, and it will take a few seconds to reload your contacts.
Done. Now when adding a new contact, Phone, should not be in the list and since Google was the only thing I had checked, it is always the default now.

This only disables displaying contacts saved to the phone. If you go to add a new contact, it still defaults storage to phone.

Like I mentioned, I'm doing this on an older version of Sense as my DNA isn't showing up for another three days, but it works like a champ on my Rezound.
