Interesting problem this, it seems to have just started to happen out of the blue a few days ago.
The problem, in a nutshell, is that whatever I try to do, be it recreate the entries in the Address Book, create a duplicate entry with the same name, use the O2 Plus feature which lets you save a contact to your address book and make a new entry like that... Whatever I do, whenever I receive a new text message, the person's name isn't shown as the sender, just their mobile number in international format.
Even if I have that contact in my phone already, with their number in the same format as is shown on the text message (+447...), their name doesn't show at all. It's really starting to annoy me, as I've not added or removed anything to my XDA and yet this problem isn't going away.
Argh! Anybody have any ideas as to what's wrong? I might ring O2's oddly-named Data Support and quiz them about this tomorrow, too...
Cheers again everyone,
Christopher
When you search the forum for "CallerID" you'll find a few people asking about the same problem, mainly when receiving calls however not SMS' and some suggestions.
Do you have photos attached to your contacts? I'd try reinstalling the CallerID_Alpine_... from your Extended_Rom, if all fails it might be easiest to restore a backup (if you got one that is).
hth,

I did some further testing today, borrowed a mate's phone and rang mine... Bizarre, the first time my phone was rung, it would take approx. 30 seconds for the name of the caller to show, the number showed up fine though. Subsequent dials would result in the name showing up almost instantly (as usual)...
.... Veeeeeeery odd. I'll just dash off and try reinstalling this CallerID cab...
Is it possible to get more than 1 appointment showing on the today screen in touchflo3d? Like when you scroll down and the clock becomes smaller, there's plenty of space there for more appointments. I've tried to found settings for this but haven't find any. Do you need any special application for this or have I just not found the right settings?
Pretty sure it displays multiple appointments for me
The 2 appointments mechanism is pretty weird.
1) It will never display 2 all-day events, and I mean when one takes place today and one tomorrow.
2) One time it displayed tomorrow's event first, and today's event second. Another time it was reversed.
3) One time the tomorrow's appointment was visible from morning, another time it was visible just 24h before happening.
A program/fix to control it would be great.
It really is one of the frustrating limitations of touchflo
It will only show one appointment, and a maximum of two when you flick it upwards
With all the touch flo tweaks out there, wouldnt this be a minor problem to fix?
Another problem is it only can show the tomorrow's meeting. It can't show the days after tomorrow. Can it show the meeting 2 days advance or more.
Hi All,
Has anyone successfully changed the layout of the e-mail tab in TF3D? I find the little envelope that shows you 2 1/2 lines of the top message to be just about useless. I'd really rather have just a list of messages come up.
What do you think? Is this possible?
Mode9 Editor
It is possible, and not all that hard to make some changes that will render the email previews much more useful. Search the forums for "Mode9 editor" and you'll find the most excellent work done by 6Fg8. Use this to make the envelope graphics transparent and you'll get much more readable area in the message previews.
I am trying to figure out how to un-tilt the message viewing area (i.e. make it flat like the way messages are shown in the "Messages" tab) but have not had much success yet. If I can ever manage to get this going, will post.
Thanks for the info. The Mode9 changes are an improvement, but the problem is that this whole idea is flawed. It only shows one message at a time. I lots of times get 3-5 e-mails before I bother to look at them (that's what happens when you're up to 300/day!).
We should really work on a solution that is more like an apreviated/improved inbox. I'm just not sure where to get started on such a thing.
Try the BBExtreme3 skin. Takes the envolope off and up and down motions scroll through what emails you have.

ok, dont kill me, the forum internal search did not spit out something seful ;-)
and google also not, and google sux!
my question:
i can tick the option, that i get every delivery of my short text checked, with an sms back, that the thing is done.
is there a possibility that all this works a bit more nicer?
no extra sms?
may be just a different color or symbol behind the sms?
like on my sony ericson or so?
any ideas or solutions?
I don't know if I understood exactly:
1. in message: click on all messages, then MENU -> TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> select SMS/MMS -> request delivery notification
2. when you send an SMS, if you look at all messages, if it was not delivered, you'll see an unopened envelope. When delivered, you'll see the envelope opened
@1.
yes i did activated that "request delivery notification"
but at my windows phone, the notification comes as an extra sms back to me.
on my sony phone (not windows mobile!) it came back and changed the status icon at the saved sms inside the "sent" folder...
on winmobile i have an extra anoying sms in my incoming folder...
@2.
do you have it smoother looking like i described my sony situation?
thanx in advance
just remove the 1st of my points. The thing with the envelope happens anyhow ... I have no 1 deactivated. I know that on sony ericsson there would be a message to inform receival, but it wouldn't be saved. It was a good idea
if i deactivate the recive approve message, then i do not know if the sms is actually arrived on the other phone!!!!
the nevelope icon change is only on oyur own phone i guess, only sent or unsend is displayed there i guess... without any information interaction with the outside world of your isp!
let me see...
edit: checked. So, I have number 1 disabled and still, when I send a message, when it's not received the envelope is closed. When received, the envelope has a yellow letter inside. To check, send a message, and fast press all messages (the bottom left option) and then you'll see. Tell me if it works with your topaz
no!
its like i ve said...
if the message left my mobe... there is the open envelope with the letter inside...
windows mobile does not have some hidden usage of a feedback-recieving-back-sms that changes the envelope icon...
okay,m but when you tap all messages fast after send, do you see the closed envelope or you don't see it at all?
hm..
please tell me in detail what actions you mean i should perform to get the special behavior.
when i tap the send button.
my text is added under the rest of the sms conversation (like on my iPhone)
me and the other persons sms mixed like a chat....
when i got quickly to all the sms-conversation-list...
"incoming" (or so, i have a german phone)
every envelope is opened (marked read)
strange ... when I I send a message, it is stored in oinbox, and when I tap (in the same menu) all messages, the message that I sent is in an enclosed envelope and then, it turns into an opened one ... :-? meaning it is received, or so I think :-?
when u tab it, its typicall outlook beahvior, then it shows, that you did read it ;-)
not the other person...
but bad luck, that no one else is contributing here :-/
will do some experiments though ... :-?. I think you are right ... sorry for my mistake ... there must be some options not to save the notification. Will search
Use SMS reports eraser. It's free and deletes the delivery report after a defined period of time.
No fancy colors or such, but does its job nicely.
thank you for this. Cheers!!!
it does only erase the reports?
does it also change the icons or so?
where does it come from? webpage?
AAAAAAAAAAAAND
thank you, by the way!!! ;-)
ok... i used google after posting my message...
sorry ;-)
just deleting is one way...
any other smoother looking way?
should try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529289
sorry, but do you really speak english and understand what you read and understand what you write?
do u understand the windows mobile and the pocket pc?
the thing you refer me too is again something different
that is a hotfix and directed you so that you should post there a question. Someone has tried it and maybe the HTC guys did something with the notification saved to messages. The idea was to ask there whether the messages were still saved. No matter, I'll ask 8-|
ok, sorry, u did mean well.
but again, the hotfix does something with the vibration, nothing else ;-)
no smooth designed coded solution for us ;-)
I have had this issue on all WM 6.5 ROMS I have tried. Sometimes my office apointments synced to my Fuze are longer than a few words. When that occurs, I can not see all the appointment text in Agenda view or Day view. Clicking on the appointment to get the view screen does not help because it only shows 2 lines, and there is no scrolling to show more. So I still can not see all the text. The only solution I found is to hit Menu, then Edit, and scroll right to read all the info (like topic of meeting, meeting attendees, phone numbers, etc.). Not a very elegant solution. I have searched xda for a solution without finding a fix. Also called AT&T, who hooked me up with MS: "You are putting too much info in the appointment-just use a few words and abbreviate." Not a viable solution, since I do not generate many of my Calendar entries.
Anyone have a way to show more than 2 lines in Appointment view, or other fix? Thanks.
