When trying to use s voice to call someone, ie Darren. It says 2 people which one I like to choose. The reason it says this is because I have the numbers on my phone and backup to sim card.
How can I get it to just use the one?
P.s this does the same for whatever name I want to use
Thanks
Try to remove the Duplicate contacts.

Have you tried not to show SIM contacts and then using S-Voice? I admit I have not tried this, so, it's mostly speculation on my part.

I think his problem is not duplicate contacts, but contacts in SIM and phone being shown when he says their name. Removing duplicates in this case entails deleting either the SIM entries or phone entries.
You see I don't want to remove duplicate contacts as they are stored on phone and on Sim incase anything happens and phone needs fixed etc. surely there is a way around this, as I'm sure most people will have a backup on their sim
I could maybe delete the Sim contacts and store on sd

Did you try not to show SIM contacts and then checking with S-Voice?

Something very weird is happening on my contact list.
No, I do not have ANY number on my SIM.
No, I do not have any number in my T-Mobile contact list.
I have a friend of mine whose name is DG.
So I wanna send a new text, I open the Message application, tap on the bar to select the contact, write the initials of the name, DG, and usually you should get a list of people who are named so... what happens here is that when I type this specific contact, I see it TWICE.
DG 1702... Mobile
DG +1702... Mobile
Why?
Checked GMail, there is only one entry.
Checked my Contact list, only one entry.
Went to GMail, DELETED the contact, synced the contacts, and it does not show in my Contacts list BUT! This is just weird now... when I try to send a new message, type the name... it shows up DG +1702... Mobile
What the hell?
I thought it could be Skype, or WhatsApp, but I checked the same thing with other contacts who also have Skype and WhatsApp and this does not occur... Anyone?
Thanks
PS: I have checked the other two threads but none give a solution.
One of them may be showing up because of call history and sent history.
This one you CAN turn off in:
messages>settings>general> show sent message history and show call history
One of them showing up may be Tmobile Contact Back Up.
This one you CAN'T turn off.
Option? Root and remove.
Once TCBU sync's it won't let you remove it.
P.S. I replied to your PM already, as well.
Hope this helps bro.

Yeah I saw the reply and replied. Thanks.
The thing is, I don't have any contacts on TMo back up...
And why does it do it to only one contact so far?
Just deleted all my contacts from GMail, and also from my phone, deleted WhatsApp and skype... And when I go type a new text, the number DG is still there...
Guess what... I removed the microSD card... problem solved... No more duplicate!
I wonder why now...
Can someone help modify the LogsProvider.apk so it doesn't record any SMS?
Are you on the AT&T version? If so do this.
Phone > Logs > Menu > View by > All calls.

i believe what would happen would be, this would work, but when you load up or open the phone later, SMS would still be in there, then you go back thru the cycle of having to change with your solution..again and again...
think op wants this to Stick (correct me if wrong OP)

Yeah I figured as much and I found that was the case with the international version being like that. Havent had any problems with it on the AT&T branded version.

Correct. Hopefully a dev can help modify the logsprovider app.
Mine is only showing calls and is sticking on all calls
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
It appears the OP want to send/recieve sms messages without someone else finding out. Therefore he wants his phone to stop logging them. Changing the log view will not help him as you can still go in there and find the logs for sms.
Download history eraser, and just remember to use it.
there are now two options: "all calls " and "all logs". Selecting "all calls" will in fact only show calls, no SMS/MMS.
Try this...

it was the only way I found to delete them on the SR...maybe it is the same on the Note
OK I found a method that works
Open contacts
Press logs
Menu
View by
Change to sent messages
Menu
Delete
You will have to do the same for received messages
looks like they changed it a little, you should be able to do all logs to clear all..or all messages to delete only messages

You are correct but your SMS logs are still recorded.
Bump. Hopefully someone can help with this request.
Would it help to use a different sms program like Go SMS, or Handcent? Those have options for purging messages and also not logging them to begin with.
Hey,
I just got my Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.1), upgrading from my CM9 Galaxy S2 (Android 4.0) and I have a weird problem with my SMS threads...
I've tried backup and restores from my old phone to my new one using Go SMS, copying the SMS database and even using SMS Backup & Restore (which has never failed me before) but my SMS threads are being split at the restore.
I have a contact with a seemingly intact thread until I scroll pretty far up, where the phone has split the thread into two, one for sent and one for received messages... which is quite annoying to say the least.
Anyone got any ideas? I've tried deleting/readding the contact, unlinking/linking Facebook etc and I've changed all my contacts' numbers into the +441234567891 format, but it hasn't worked for any of my contacts' SMS threads
Thanks
I have the same issue (not with all contacts, just some). I have had a look at the SMS Backup and Restore file, and I can see that the phone numbers are formatted slightly differently - the sent ones have a space, whereas the received ones don't. I'll do some manual editing of the backup file and see if that fixes things...
---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------
Update: I manually edited the backup file (search-and-replace) to remove the spaces, restored that edited backup, and now things are threading properly. I guess it's an issue with Samsung's algorithm to detect whether the numbers are the same - if there is a space in the number, it doesn't think they are the same.
Aha! That did it, thanks a lot
Hi, I apologize for sounding like a scrub but this problem started happening to me recently and I searched everywhere for a solution and couldn't find one, until now... possibly. Could you please be kind enough to explain how one would manually edit ones SMS Back and Restore file? I wasn't even aware there were two different numbers for send and receive. Thanks for all your help.
Hello Members, I've just starting to get to grips with the XZU. I've also done various Google searches on the info I'm looking for so help would be great thanks.
The problem is I'd like to keep my contacts on the SIM card, and also save them by default to the SIM card, trouble is, if I go to my contacts the only option I can see is to copy them to the phone, if I go to the SMS app and want to add a recipient none of my contacts are shown but if someone calls they appear in the call log with there contact name, so the phone is seeing my contacts in the SIM card.
So all I'd like is to continue to save new contacts to the SIM card, but also have the XZU get it's contact list from the SIM card.
Help would really be great as I'm lost to now know all my numbers (stupid I know).
Regards
Livo
Just to report regarding my post, the answer is 'no', the contacts have to be imported to the phone, this has come from Sony direct, although when the time comes any new contacts should be able to be exported back to the SIM card for future use.
Regards
I think it is an android limitation... I tried on my Galaxy Note (custom JB rom) and my old xperia x10 (custom GB rom).. both of them dont have export to sim option...
Maybe because with the current capabilities of phones, manufacturers dont see the need of saving contacts to SIM anymore...? :what:

Have you ever deleted a very important SMS which you regret for the rest of your life? Are you searching for a free SMS recovery Software? If the answer to above questions is Yes then you don’t have to worry anymore as today I will show you how to recover deleted SMS from SIM card or Phone memory.
Mod Edit: Spam removed.
You can use to undelete messages: Sim Recovery Pro. The SIM reader + software price is app more than 100 usd, So I think the better way, go to a phone service.
so glad you took the time to read this is not the correct forum
thanks !
Instead I'd just use 'go pro sms' app and take a backup from its own option to SD card and then import them back once its needed.
deleted messeges
