It there any way how to disable SIM contacts?
I'm using Google contacts but I have also contacts on my SIM card in case my phone die. Then I can use my SIM card in another "spare" phone to make necessary calls. I don't want to delete my SIM contacts.
I found that I can filter contacts for dialer in 3rd party applications
but haven't found anything for SMS contacts. I'm using GO SMS Pro.
I always got duplicate contacts when I need to add new SMS contact.
Thanks in advance for help
Goto contacts>more>display options here you can disable sim contacts.
Unfortunately this doesn't work for the SMS Contacts. It works in Dialer and Contacts itself but when you access Contacts from SMS app I always have duplicate contacts. :-(

this happen when u have some voip apps like nimbuzz and some like that it add contacts in contacts open ur contacts and see is any thing duplicating or it is just one.
hi, my phone doesnt have any voip applications or anything like that, yet it still displays it.
anyone knows how to set it so it doesnt?
yeah, noticed that too long time ago, didn't find solution so I deleted contacts from SIM.Anyway, it's a lot easier to update contacts on google than to make backup every time u change (add,delete...) something in contacts...If telephone dies-buy another Android device...it would be a pity to downgrade...

U need to have the contact on the phone, edit it, and there is a option to give a ringtone to that contact. If u want to assign tone to a group, u need some 3rd party software.
thank you for your answer!

Use the goddamn search button.
Get Kaisertweak (search in this forum) and there is an option to disable SIM contacts.
Hello all,
When I am typing a contact name while writing a new text message,
it has somekind of auto-complete and it shows me contacts to select in order to send the message to.
I did the tweak which hides SIM contacts when navigating through poutlook but they are still there in the new text message interface.
Is there a way to not show SIM contacts in text message and emails too?
(I dont want to erase my SIM card).
thank you all.

no it doesnt.
the fiture of 'show sim contacts' under 'phone' is set to 'NO'.
I dont see any sim contacts in poutlook but the auto-complete in the sms section still uses contacts from sim.
maybe there is another tweak..
i have the same problem. Also, contacts retrieval only works when using T9 as input (no suggestion/search for contacts when u use any of the querty keyboards with T9 disabled)
Ok, I know that title is a little convoluted, but I don't know how else to put it. Basically when entering the recipients name in the "To" input field, some contacts don't show up. Example: Say I wanna send a text to Brian Knoll. I open Messaging app and start typing his name in the TO box, I get Brian Davids, or Briannna, or Brittany, but no Brian Knoll. I'd have to back out, search for his contact via phone search or contacts app and then compose a text that way. This is the same for about half my contacts and is NOT rom specific. I know it's not SIM contacs screwing it up either, cause I can store a brand new contact and have the same thing happen when trying to find it. What gives???
I also noticed this problem. In fact, I only get listed those contacts which have been synced from Facebook but not the ones comming from the sim card...

I think as far as your problem is concerned, You can fix that in contact settings > import/export > import SIM contacts.
make sure its saved as a mobile number and not home or work it won't add a home number cause you shouldn't be textin a house
Easy fix.
Go to brian first and then compose the text message.
I have them made from a previous Droid but how do I set them in the Captivate? I had an Epic 4G before this phone and it was simple. Go to contact, edit contact, assign ring tone. This phone dosen't have this option(at least the option dosen't show in the settings). Is it an AT&T vs Sprint thing or do I need my contacts in certain area?
EDITED: Ok...found my answer as to why I cant but dont know how to fix.....seems that you can not asign ringtones to contacts that are linked in some way...example... I have all my contacts linked to gmail for back up and to facebook.....but AT&T numbers that are not linked to anything, I can assign...now to figure out how to un-link my contacts from google and facebook
When you edit a contact, did you scroll down far enough? There is a field to change the ringtone.
ok...this is a bunch of crap...If I am doing this right...the only way to get a ringtone for a contact is for the contact to reside on your phone...not link to any other account....so, with that said, I reset my phone to factory defaults(had to in order to get rid of the Google linked account). Then applied ringtones to certain people just for a test. Presto...ring tones...Ok...now that that is done, I want to re-download my apps from the market. Guess what? You need to link your phone to Google to get them...so what happens?...all my contacts are now linked to Google automatically and can't assign ring tones again....Is this right...am I the only one?...I cant believe that Google and Facebook contacts take precidence over contacts that are directly on the phone?...is there anyone out there that can correct me if I am wrong?
From what I can tell you have to have the contact saved on your phone to assign a ringtone.
You can make a new contact on your phone and then link it to an existing Google contact. Then when you edit the contact you can set a ringtone. At the top of the Edit page there will be tabs to switch between the Google contact and the contact on the phone. You have to edit the contact on the phone.
There are apps that can export all of your contacts and save them as phone contacts. That seems to be the quickest way of doing this if you're going to assign more than 2 or 3 different ringtones.
Try it with one first to make sure it works for you.
Hi guys, since 2 months google dialer started showing number+surname instead of name+surname when i receive a call.
Only some old contacts appears fine. I've tried to delete dialer, contact and messages data but nothing was solved.
nb. if i search for that contacts in the contacts, name were fine
Just tested on mine and its Name+Surname on the top and number underneath. So it's showing all these 3 things at once. You sure they're saved correctly and synced to your Google account?

It's due to syncing, I had a similar issue. I don't remember which syncing option I switched off but it did the trick. I also had to delete those strange names from the contact list.
