On a Kaiser running Dutty's TouchFLO ROM (Nov 18), the SMS messages tend to not show the sender's name most of the times. Only the number, in international format, is shown.
Anyone having this problem? Any fix?
Hi z_rudy
I had this problem with my T-Mobile MDA Vario II (Original T-Mobile ROM)
This fixed it though......

Hope it works for you!

Thanks zippyioa.
It's weird I did not get notified about your reply although I was subscribed to the thread.
Anyway, there seems to be another fix which is editing the registry entry:
HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CallIdMatch
and changing it to 7 instead of 8, and soft-reseting.

Hi folks
I've managed to disable the threaded SMS function in WM6.1 as I prefer the old method. However, in WM6.0 I was able to add a recipient simply by typing parts of their name in the "To:" field. This does not seem to work now
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
SOLVED!!!
I finally found a solution for this annoyance
Have a look at my HTC WM6.1 ROM : Missing "Fn Space" function? thread for the fix
I'm running the stock rom on my T-mobile MDA Vario (TYTNII) and up until recently I had the shogunmark threadedsms application installed. However since I uninstalled I have encountered the following problem:
When I click on new sms and type in a name it will not autocomplete the receipient field as it used to do when I first got the phone. I can write in any name but it will not search in my contacts for a match.
I've tried searching for a solution through the forum and found nothing suitable. I don't want to re-install the threaded sms as it doesn't interact well with the diamond keyboard (which i love). I really don't wanna do a hard reset so does anyone have any suggestions how I could solve this?
Thanks in advance
Anyone able to help?
Have you tried the Disable Xt9 CAB?

I have a Kaiser w/Win Mobile 6.1 norwegian.
In the "conversation with" pane in sms/mms i have a problem:
as long as I stick to sms it will show the names of ppl I sms with, but if I recieve a mms it will not show the name of the contact I got the mms from, it will only display the number. this is also the case if I send an mms to one of my contacts.
anyone got a solution for this?

same problem here! (found this thread by searching).. any help..? :E
So I'm not by myself on this issue! I'd love to find a solution.
ayone..? any ideas?
hi,
Did you try with Shap's Advanced Configuration Tool
http://julien.schapman.free.fr/touchxperience/advanced-configuration-tool.php
to see how many digits are set for "contact" recognition ?
i had that worry with sms and incoming calls
because they are "shown" +33612345678 (in france(+33)for mobiles 06+8digits)
and in my pim they were registred in a 10 digits format 0612345678
(or (06) 12 34 56 78) or else in a 12's one +33612345678,
i tried many times and found that the good setting was "9" digits in Shap's Advanced Configuration Tool.
regards
not working

Did you do some type of back up? Using what? What Rom are you using? Under Diamond Tweak and/or advanaced Config click on hide sim contacts.
texting
hi,
i have already cleared the sim and contacts and then gone on to enter back on to contacts, it still doesnt work.
i have had my phone for a week now.
maybe tmobile will eventually update this on the next rom update if possible?
but is there not an application to sort this out that i could get hold off?

yea i use Sprite Backup 6.5.4 but i hardly think thats the problem..
ill try the diamconfig method and see
UPDATE: IT WORKS!!
how'd you know?
thats so weird too because i have no contacts on my sim..
right on man thanks
Actually I have a similar issue.
Stock T-Mobile MDA Vario IV
All contacts saved to phone memory, in the 07 format.
Incomming calls show the callers name if in contact list, all text messages show +447 number instead of 07 number and no name.
If contact is changed to +447 then texts show contact name, but incoming calls only show number :S
Any Ideas on a resolution?
I had the same problem after I installed the official HTC ROM update that was released mid Feb. I noticed that for my contact numbers here in the US, if the number didn't have a 1 before the contact's number, it would not recognize the number in my contact list. after i went thru all my contacts (a MAJOR PAIN IN THE A$$) and added the 1 before all the numbers, all my contacts' names appear again. not sure if that helps...
there with you guys. also on tmobile stock rom.
all my contacts are in outlook. ( not sure if that is on phone or mem card.)
but texts come thru with +44 and my phone doesnt recognise them. i am currently haveing to save the new numbers but when i sync on my pc. it reverts to the old ones coz i sync pc to phone.
seems to be generically vbe a tmobile vario 4 issue.
I have the same problem and I'm on Orange but I decided to try the NEW SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 so this might be causing the same problem.
I am going to try the newer update from Orange to see if that will work.
Mines has been showing "unknown caller" along with the telephone number when I call my mobile from my home phone and the messages are just showing up with the number.
This problem has been bugging me from the last few months but I didnt realize that there may be a solution to this until I seen the amount of posts for tweaks on here.
I am nearly fed up with the phone...I just began enjoying this new ROM that I put on it coz my last Orange one was apparently an old one.
Will let you all know how it goes.

Just to let you all know that I updated with WM6.1 WWE CE OS 20764, Build 20764.1.4.3, V2.6 Full, UC Ready ROM and it seems to have worked a treat...all my numbers are showing names now and I have a much faster phone with additional positive tweaks.
It has a slider on screen on it too that you must slide to the left to answer or right to ignore...this ensures that it will not mistakenly get answered in the pocket.
Highly Recommended!
All Credit Goes to swtos and you can find the link for the lite and full versions here.
Peace.
been a while since i ran into this...
But I do believe there's a registry setting that is used to determine how many trailing numbers are used to identify contacts.. if you drop it by a number or 2 it should still work, and may solve that '1' not being there..
wish I could remember where I saw this registry setting...
Anyway, I don't really run into this issue, but I'm using ROMeOS... and all my numbers I went through and manually edited on my exchange account to always be in the (xxx) xxx-xxxx format, including formatting. Every number shows fine -- But I also have no SIM contacts (with exchange backup and spare phones with backups I don't see the need, it just seems to confuse things)
now showing all contaacts
i finally resolved this and posting back on the thread i read bb lee post.
that is what i did.
if you do advanced config there is an option use X number of trailing numbers to identify numbers i have set this to 10 this will then recognise regardless of +44 or 0.
anyone else try this and let me know if it resolves yours too.

This is in the rom section because it is a rom related issue.
using both dutty's 3.4 and 6.5 R1, and also topix with manila 2.1 I get an immediate response with an "InvalidPduContent" error when i try to respond to a message via the manila threaded sms. i can send messages from standard winmo sms.
I have AT&T. I get the same error on both the Telstra T8285 and the T8282. I looked into the error futher and it seems it can be a problem with the following:
"to" field is being interpreted wrong. when i send a message to someone via manila, i check the "sent items" folder and the to field looks like this:
"Last, First" <14405551212>
the above is the only format that fails.
if i send a new message via manila (no existing conversation), it only shows the person's number in the To field like this:
(440) 555-1212
using default winmo sms it looks like this:
Last, First
has anyone found a solution to this issue other than disabling the manila sms portion? Hopefully this sheds some new light on the situation
I have the same issue. I dont know what is causing it but hopefully someone will fix it. I prefer using the manila for sms as it's alot nicer but for now it's back to the old, ah well...
I see what you mean as well with the incorrect format issue. It is appearing, on face value, to be interpreted as an email address not a phone number. If you get on e of the failed messages and click on the name that's what it's coming back with but the messages that went through ok when the number is clicked it goes straight to the Manila contact.
its a bug in the manila,newer versions works perfect,bud if someone know a solution,i have the same issue...
I had this problem also, then flashed Lost In Asia, v4 (v5 now) and had no problems. The fact that when you clicked to reply to a message, by default goes to the new manila sms system meant that these roms weren't an option for me. Try Lost In Asia if you have time, see if it solves your problem.
I had a Italian ROM (NextGen 1.7) and I no have this problem.
does nobody have a solution for this please
Some User Set Their SMS Sending Option To GSM , And The SMS Bug FIX For Them , Try This .
This is also being discussed in Dutty 3.6 thread. He gathered some information about provider, country etc.
It seems that T-Mobile and Orange suffer the most from this problem.
One solution could be that you add +AREACODE to the contact.
Dutty's V3.7 will be online soon and contain a small updated Manila. Have to see if this still has the same problem.
i work with topix 2.0 rc1 and have the sms issue,yesterday i have unlocked my hd with olipro tool,with the sms issue i can't send whitin manila and can't send to special numbers like the radio etc...
today i tryed again and the sms issue is completly gone!i dont understand bud maybe someone does?
is it because of the radio?the sim unlock or security,cid,i dont know.
maybe this info will help to solve the issue.
Been discussed in great detail on Duttys thread and it appears to be a mixture of unicode, location and carrier. However it has also been fixed on Duttys latest rom V3.7
