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!?

I had been scouring the PDA phone forums for the solution to resolve my SMS issue.
After using my O2 XDA IIi for almost a year, I still had not find solution to fix the "Contact Name" problem in my SMS "Sent Items" folder.
If I were to reply my received SMS messages, the name would appeared in the Sent Items, but if I were to compose a new SMS to a number, which appeared in my SIM contact and phone contact list, only numbers would be shown on the list, and if I were to explode to full view, the Sender From: is "null" (blank), and To: "1234567" (numbers only).
I had read the forums about the "country code" being the source of problems, and i tested out by appending "+xx" country codes to both contact list and SIM card, but still it does not work.
Could some kind souls help me out?
I'm having a similar problem, no solution at all...
I can't see the sms sender's name, only his phone number. even although having it in my adress book. This is a really grave problem to me.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has this problem as it is quite annoying. I have the standard WM6.1 rom from three australia (3.29.861.0 WWE).
I have SMS and MMS as one item in messaging and threaded sms is on. when sending and receiving SMS, its fine, but as soon as someone sends me an MMS, the whole thread for that person gets their name replaced with the phone number instead.
if I turn off threaded SMS and look at all the messages normally, I can see that all SMS's have the contact name as normal but all MMS's have the number instead of the name. If I click the number, it still goes to the correct contact in my phone book.
anyone seen this or know how to get names appearing on my mms's?
thanks

jayme, did you fix this? I am also experiencing this issue.
Hi all!
I was wondering if there is a way to force the SMS application to requery the Number->Contact relationship.
I have a number of text messages which only show the phone number but not the contact name even though there is such a contact in my address book.
I tried doing it by deleting all texts and restoring a backup from PIM backup but no luck...
Many Thanks!

In WM6.1, mine get fixed if I receive a new text from an updated contact. I still have some with Last, First because I haven't received anything from them.
Thanks
I just upgraded to 6.1, so lets see what happens!
I just received a text from one of the "problematic" contacts, but no luck.
The new text does show his name, but none of the older ones got updated...
Edit: The annoying thing is that the problem exists only in the lists view. If I open the text, the contact details show up fine...
If I want to send an sms or mms to more than 1 recipient, my phone used to easily duplicate the message to all persons selected in the "to" field, now it only sends to the first selected user. I just had an issue with my fingermenu app not showing the middle gray bar for answering calls so i reinstalled it and all is well, what cab should I get for reinstalling SMS/MMS to see if that clears it? Running AthineOS ME, see specs in sig
no? damn alright
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]
i have the same problem all of a sudden. any resolutions found?
