I've just changed for a P20 Lite and inserted my SIM card. When using the Contacts application, I noticed that only the phone numbers with whats app are shown. the other contacts can not be shown and I even cannot register any new contact in the application. Can anyone give me some help about how to solve the problem ? thank you very much !
In contacts app tap three dots in right upper corner. Next settings - display preferences. Check what is marked. Must be all contacts. Check your sim card, do you see any contacts, if not change slot

"import contact from sim"...copies all contacts from sim card to phone,....for setting contact as favourite, it should be on phone, not on sim
i have the same problem as raphy82.
I import my contacts from SIM, the Pop-Up seems to copy the contacts from SIM to internal memory. but after copying, my contacts are not on my device. only on the SIM.
I use the newest official htc rom 3.14 since today.
I have found a solution for the contact import problem.
You have to open the sim manager in Phone/Contacts/Menu
Mark all your contacs and select copy in the menu.
Your phones copies your contacts on your sim to your device.

in my phone it says not "Copie" but "Contact to SIM ..."
Just click on that and Voila...
Now you have your contacts both on Sim and on Phone =)

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.
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
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.
My wife has a photon (stock never rooted) and recently been having trouble adding new contacts. After adding a new phone contact, it doesn't show in the list. However, if she goes to the phone and types in the number, it shows the contact name. So we know the contact is there, but can't see it in the list.
Anyone know what might be happening here?
Thanks

Go to contacts: Menu --> Display Options --> under "Choose contacts to display", press the option for your google account, and select all of them.
By default, only "My Contacts" is selected.
Yep, that was it.. Thanks!
There were three options under google and one of them, that had no label to the left, was the culprit. I checked it, and several of her new hidden contacts showed up.
