New MMS messages show senders phone number - not their name

Hi,
I got an MMS earlier from a friend whose number is in my phones contact list (phone memory - not SIM). The message displayed his number, not his name - despite him being in my contacts. This is annoying as I couldnt work out who it was from until I called the sender and his name flashed up at that point.
After searching google and XDA dev I can find many references to this exact issue, but no solutions
Anyone got any ideas??

I'm having the same problem. Always had it with all 6.1 ROMs. Or at least that's when I started noticing it. I just flashed the ATT rom so I'll see if I still get the same problem. I had it with Laurentius and HTC roms.

Yep, I have it too.

I just got an SMS and it displayed the senders name on the notification bubble.
When I closed the bubble and went to view it in Messaging the message showing in Inbox was also showing the senders name - the MMS messages above still only had senders numbers (even though one of the MMS senders had their name showing on an SMS below).
It looks like MMS messages are the cause somehow!?

Sorting of messages after backup with PIM Backupon Xperia

Hi I have the problem that my messages get messed up after backup with PIM Backup on mx Xperia.
This means all messages are there. The messages I recived are in Inbox folder sorted by the contact. All other messages I've send to this person are in Outbox folder.
But I want to display them in order to see on what message i had replied. In Inbox folder. The messages are displayed this way after you are using your Xperia without backuping them after flashing.
Does any one konw how this work ?
Regards

Go to Messages, all messages, menu, settings, and it will say options and traditional mode/conversation mode...choose "Conversation Mode".

Okay i didnt found this option but I have Win Mobile 6.5 in German. I don't konw may it depends on it.
So I googled and found that this Registry Value :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\
With this DWORD Key:
SMSInboxThreadingDisabled with value 0 or 1
I think it has the same function.
This has something to do with that i'm meaning, but i want to reorder the existing messages to look like a conversation. This property will only order the next incoming messages like this.
Do you know an what this order depends ?

mine going out of it after pressing on 3,5 jack connector

Save Chat/SMS Conversation to PC - Possible ???

I have been exchanging tons of SMS messages with a bunch of my friends. HTC Diamond does a good job of displaying the messages chronologically that i would have exchanged with a specific person if i tap on his/her name. However, it restricts the number of messages shown and i need to keep tapping on Older... again and again to see the older messages.
Is there a way that i can copy/download/save the entire SMS conversation i've had with a specific person? I don't want to copy/paste text manually into a file as it would take ages. Any tool/utility/application that exists to facilitate this ...preferably freeware !
Thanks

MyPhone can sync all of your text messages

Phone numbers not in phonebook, but show up when i text?

so i delete #'s i no longer need out of my phonebook but when i go thru my phonebook from handcent or messanger - the phone # still shows up. Is there some sort of secondary book the program is looking in when you want to send an SMS/MMS?

If they are on your friends list on facebook and they have their number posted it will do this. Otherwise I'm not sure why it would.

no - my fB isnt set to sync nor are the numbers im talking about even on my Fb friends list...
its numbers i've once added, then i went thru and deleted old #'s i dont call so theyre not longer in my phonebook but when i go to text message someone, it shows up in my "text phonebook"

this is very interesting. perhaps its related to the "wrong recipient" thread over in the general forum. its gotta be a bug no matter what, right?

this happened to me a while back when I tried to delete my ex.
what worked for me was when I logged into my google account (i logged into voice)
and clicked contacts, and deleted her from there. that worked for me, but idk.

Try to check whether you have included the respective folder/label of contacts in your contact list. Perhaps the messaging app searches through all contacts regardless of label.
Contact list will only show those contacts that have the labels you have chosen. Perhaps the deleted contacts got moved to a [Trash] label?

sending SMS - Comma before phone number

if I want to send a SMS there is a comma before the phone number and so it's not possible to send the SMS
It looks like this ,+49174...
If I get a SMS from such a person there is also a comma before.
this is only at some contacts.
The other contacts look like this Max Mustermann <+49174...>
I sync my contacts with the google account,
I also tried to delete the contact and add a new contact with new Name but the same number. The problem stays the same.
I'm running CM 7.0.3.
It seams nobody has this Problem
At 1 of 5 clicks at the SMS symbol the name is shown like this "Last Name, First Name" <+49174....>. Normally it should look like this First Name Last Name <+49174...>.
Can anybody help me. This is driving me crazy.
isch
[EDIT]I've deleted the mmssms.db because there was a lot of deleted sms in the database with wrong numbers[/EDIT]
