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

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.
When I start a text and put in the name of the contact I want to message, duplicates are showing. I have it set so it doesn't do this for calls, but I can figure out how to do it for texts. It shows 2 of every contact. Is there a way to set it do it only pulls names from either the phone or sim?
Any sUggestions as to why this is happening?
do you use gmail to backup and save your contacts?

I already did that. i dont have this issue for when I make calls and look up names, just texts. Im not storing my stuff on gmail either
This all started after I tried to update my phone to the newest update thru mini kies. i ended up having to wipe my phone and restart. I did get the update, and now i noticed its doing this.
It looks as though the Messaging contacts display is ignoring the 'Contacts-->Display Options' settings. I have my phone contacts set to display just the names etc from the Phone memory, not the SIM memory and it works well - no duplicates. However, when composing a Message or Email and press the Contact button, the list of contacts shows 2 of everybody. I've gone through everything obvious but can't see it, now turning to the experts for advice please? What do i need to tick/untick remove or whatever to put this right?
Any suggestions how to make this stop?

Are you using gmail to backup your contacts? If so just go into gmail and consolidate all the dupes than delete the contacts saved on your phone and sim. Had the same problem with dupes in the messaging. If you need more help just shoot me a pm

Which ROM are you using?

My contacts are not backed up to gmail, and im just using the regular stock rom. I dont have phone phone flashed/rooted/whatever.
I had the same problem
sign in to gmail on your computer click contacts it will display all including the phone numbers stored on you your phone if you delete them all (contacts with phone numbers) it should take off all duplicate contacts away
but make sure all phone numbers stored already on your sim card
its something about MIUI if you ever used it before
if that didn't work I know for sure if you have a gmail contact and a phone number contact with the same name and you trying to send sms or mms it show both of them as to send to at that point I would edit the first name of gmail contact by adding * to the name
Hope that helps
But I dont have any contacts listed on my gmail contacts when I sign in on my laptop.

the only thing i can think of that after you restore your phone do you restore it from backup that it has a duplicate contacts ?
or go under contacts/press the first key to the left/display option/ choose phone,sim,gmail (all) then view your contact list and delete all duplicate contacts
best thing i found is to store contacts on sim only that allow you to import them to any phone and also to your own phone after you wipe it off
My contacts show up fine in my address book, no duplicates. So I know the issue isnt with that. There are no duplicates on my phone.
I dont know what to do. Ive tried everything, and its really annoying when trying to send a text to go thru all those duplicates.
when I go to create a text, there are also email addresses showing when I begin typing a name to search for a contact. I dont know where they are coming from

You need to backup all your contacts to gmail. First.
Go to accounts & Sync and tap your google account or any other email accounts you have on your phone. It will give your sync screen, see if "sync contacts" is ticked there. If it is then try unticking it, see if that helps.

how do you hide your sim contacts after i did the update today now it has all my sim and gmail contacts and alot of doubles and all i need is my g mail contacts i
I
have the same result but want to display only my sim contacts. Actually dont wwnt any of my contacts sored to google gmail account.
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 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
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.
