Hi, this is the problem: in the call viewer, all the missed and received calls show only the number and they not show the name of the caller.
The number is righ, and if i try to call him, in the called list the name is showed.
What can i do?
thanks
Check duplicates
Hi Mate...
Check if you have duplicate entries in contacts, also, check if there are different entries for the same number. Also check duplicates in sim/memory.
This might be the reason for the issue. I do not see the issue at all with my diamond.
Also, does it happen for all callers, or for a specific set of contacts?

Hi all!
I have a huge problem distinguish what number I receive SMS from, when I receiving it from a person with multiple phone numbers. I.e. if I receive a SMS from John Doe who has two mobile numbers, it will only show his name, and not what number it is from. This is a problem when I'll try and answer the message later, and then maybe he has switched phones (work/private phone). The solution can't be sending a message to both phones?
I also experience problems sending SMS to the second number, 'cause the main number is the only one listed as a number i can send SMS to, and not the work number...?
Is this a huge flaw, or is it only me?
TIA!
And how do you see this contact in your contact list?
1 contact - 2 numbers
2 contacts with the same name - different number
?
The contact is listed as 1 name with 2 numbers (mobile number, and work number).
So, is there any other solution to this than going back to the 90's, and make two entries for the contact?

Having the same issues....
I had this problem ages ago with my c500 and fixed it but cannot fix it with my diamond.
When a person calls - their name (and pic) appears as the person calling. Yet for 1 number only (it happens to be my gf) it comes up as the number only - and once the call is over it says 'number is not in contacts - would you like to add it'
I thought the fix would be to have both style of numbers (with +44 and without) in the various contact fields but to no joy.
It's annoying in the fact that it works for every other contact just not her! (maybe it's a sign!)
Any clues?
Long shot
Try this.. (assuming that you sync your phone with outlook)
Delete the contact from the diamond.
Edit the contact in Outlook with the contact numbers and assign a pic in Outlook itself.
Sync
See if this works.
I've tried it - still no joy. I've checked to see if any other number exists in the phone/outlook that is too similar but I can't see one. I'd read somewhere that it uses the first 7 digits for caller id - and that number is relatively unique.
hmmm
While we are trying stuff out
Delete the contact from the diamond, anyway. In the call list / history.. you should have the a received call from your gf's number.
Save it from there. Then assign a pic.
Let's see if that works.
Hi all,
I bought the Touch Diamond2, and have noticed this really annoying problem.
I have a list of contacts (that their names were modified in Outlook 2007, and then transferred to my phone), that whenever they call I can see their number but not the name associated to them (above the number it displays: "(unknown number)"). If I choose to add the number to their name (which is already there - it just asks me to update it), then their name appears if they call. After I add it, it seems like the same exact number - no change at all.
Another thing is, if I enter a number manually that is already stored in my contacts, it doesn't show the name of this contact. If I select the number from my contact page, it does show the name and picture as it should.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there a setting in the device i'm missing?
Please help,
Thanks

I just got my Razr i and I have a problem with contact names not showing in recent calls list.
When the Dialer displays the recent calls list, I see only numbers, no contact names, but when I am actually calling (typing a number) I do get the contact name.
All my contacts are from Google Contacts.
I tried installing Dialer One app and it acts the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Avner.
Edit: Same thing happens in the SMS app; I see the contact number, not the contact name associated with it.
Hi there, does this problem was solved?

Hi, is it really ALL contact names that show as numbers or just a couple? I had the issue with my girlfriends number for some reason it wouldn't show the name..
I read on another forum to just delete it and re-add it in the absolute same way as before.. and voila, worked.
Maybe try one number first, and see if that helps... if so, you may have a weird formatting in your contacts numbers...
good luck, Stefan
I'm trying to find a way to show business contacts' names when they call me from a range of numbers. Due to all of the spam calls I get, I don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number/name.
For example, my doctor's office main number is xxx-yyy-0500. When they call me, their number has the same prefix and exchange, but the last numbers can be 0490-0510. I'd like to use wildcards to recognize and show the doctor's name for any and all of those numbers.
Has anyone done this before and can share their profile/task?
Let me try again. I'm trying to find a way to match the first 6 or more digits of an incoming call to an existing contact to account for the multiple numbers they may call me from. Maybe reading the phone number into an array to compare. Something like this for example?
Phone Ringing
If C:ANY or C:ANY(1-6)
Say Incoming call from %CNAME
End If
