Has anybody figured out how to get rid of those annoying contacts....I know how to hide them, but in Hangouts they still show up when composing a new hangout. I'd like to get rid of them permanently, I tried sim card manager off the playstore but it did not work.

I have managed to get rid of the sim contacts from the contacts list. However when I create a new SMS it brings up the sim contacts as well as the phone book which is really annoying. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Afraid not sorry, but I'd be interested to hear how you managed to get rid of the sim contacts from the contact list
I've tried editing the reg. and AC 3.2 but it still dosen't work
Registry settings works only until reboot for me :-(

this is the only thing that survives a reset
it's called kaisersimfix, but it'll work just fine on any device
Thanks, it works. (so far)
Excellent will give that a go also, have been trying everything with this one
i put it so in the contacts it only shows contacts from my phone and not the sim card or google account, but if im txting, and try to add a contact, it always shows 2 of everybody...how can i stop this from happening?
Mine does this too, I know that contacts are both on my phone and sim card, though my contacts list is set to only display contacts on my phone.
It hasn't really bothered my so far, but if I can get rid of the duplicate showing up, might as well
I noticed this to when I go to text and start typing the person name it shows 2 of them hasn't really bothered me.
oh ok, just wondering if i was the only person with the problem lol...i think imma test it out by removing all the contacts from my phone and leaving them just on the sim and seeing what happens...
I only have my phone contacts showing on my phone. I do not have double contacts in my "phone contacts" section. I only get double contacts when I and going to type a text message. Very strange glitch.
Hi,
I have around 7 contacts with padlock symbols that I cant remove from my SIM card. I dont want to hide them, I wish to delete these contacts. However in the sim manager, the delete option is greyed out for each one of the contacts.
Has anyone got any other ideas how to delete them?
I've tried deleting the pim.vol file ... which makes these contacts disapear, but rebooting the phone they re-appear. I've also put the sim in on a non MS phone and cant see the contacts on their. Anyone got any ideas?
I accidentally copied a few useless texts to my SIM card. How do I delete them from the SIM card? I tried going into SIM Management via Contacts to no avail.
Thanks, in advance!

While in messaging, Press Menu button>Settings then select Manage SIM Card Messages
Thanks so much! This is my first smartphone, so I appreciate the fact even the most elementary questions (read: my dumb question) are answered.

I had a message popping up saying "SIM card full, delete messages". I would click on this message, and it would open the standard messaging app called: Messaging. I kept going through and deleting all my SIM messages (unknowingly using the Messaging app at this time) and then it would automatically refresh, only to show me all the exact same SIM messages, not deleted.
Textra was set as my default messaging app.
To resolve this issue and finally delete all my SIM messages, I had to activate the de-activated Messaging app, click on settings->manage SIM messages->select all the messages and delete them. This finally refreshed to show no more SIM messages. I then re-activated Textra and everything was back to normal.
How do I retrieve a message that I moved to a secure box of my HTC desire android
Im using Sensation XE, stock ICS.
i have synced to google, facebook, ubersync and whatsapp. but in People app, i've set to view only the google contacts. i have a few contacts in SIM as well as in Google. so the problem is.. every once in a while, the Messages app mixes up with name spelling between the Google and SIM contacts, and the pictures wont show. and then some times, it works just fine. some times it goes away if i restart my phone, sometimes restarting doesnt make any difference.
i want to see the pictures of the people in SIM, because frankly speaking these are the people with whom i communicate most with thru messages.
and no, i wont delete my SIM contacts, because sometimes i need to change my phone, so i need some important contacts with me in SIM
