Hi,
Sorry but I am one of those annoying noobies!
This may be really simple to correct but my contact list shows all contact names as
last, first
I wish to change that to
first, last
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated
Hi guys!
Right now, I feel like a complete idiot... For some reason, I am drawing a blank! I hope you can spare a few moments to help me!
I don't know if I am going crazy or not, but I seem to have lost all SMS functionality with my 8125.
I am drawing a blank here.
In options for the phone, the correct Text Message service centre number has been downloaded ( +1 (705) 796-9300 for Rogers), so that's great.
Yet, in my e-mail app, I have Hotmail, MMS, Outlook e-mail, my pop accounts, however, I have no Text Messaging. Unless I am dreaming, I could swear it was there before.
When I click on a contact's mobile number to send an SMS message, nothing happens.
When someone sends me an SMS message, nothing happens, too.
I recently upgraded to Summiter's 2.24.10.1 version (2.25.11.102 EXT rom) which has been working AMAZING. That was a few weeks ago, though.
So, does anyone have any ideas?
I'd really appreciate some help here. I am just at a total loss!
If anyone can please offer some insight, I would really appreciate it. I just did a search in the forum, but there were too many hits.
Anyone?
Thanks a million!
Mike
Hi again!
Okay, I had an idea...
If any Rogers customer who uses Windows Mobile 5 can PM me, or write back, that would be great.
I would just do the necessary thing to add an SMS account!
Thank you!
Mike
Hey all,
I've had my Kaiser a while now, and I love it to pieces. However...
When I open my SMS/MMS inbox, I see all my texts, but instead of showing the Name of the person who sent me a message, it shows there number (i.e +447870111111). This happens if I haven't pre-saved the contact to my phone (Even though the contacts were saved on my simcard). What's more, I thought copying all the contacts from my SIM to my phone would work, but no look. And now, I have 2 sets of all numbers! (one on SIM and one on Phone).
So My questions are:
Is there a way to have my SMS inbox show the contacts name, rather than number?
Is there a way to tell the Kaiser to hide my Sim Contacts, and just display my phone contacts.
I've searched and searched for these issues, but cannot find anything. I'm fairly technical so am usually good with these type of things. But any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Scott
for the second question, use kaiser-tweak ...
there's a option under [contacts] where you can disable sim-contacts.
the other question i can't help, sry
bye andré
OK Cheers Edi, Anybody for question number one? Surely this issue affects others?
Just to confirm I'm not a jinx, can somebody else who experiences this issu please post?

When you store a contact after receiving an SMS, the SMS database is not updated with the contact info and so the Inbox will show with the number alone! But after storing it once, the next SMS will be named with the Contact. This is how it happens in Windows Mobile or the way it handles the messages. The updating is not done in all SMS after a contact is stored as it would slow down the device.

Carty..
Thanks for that Carty, now i know I'm not going insane!
It's a shame it has to be that way though... Standard mobile phones usually update themselves when you've saved the number as a contact. Ah well, I still have the best phone ever!
Cheers
Experiencing The Same Problem
Try to include the country code and for sure you'll have the name appear. Problem will be, when that person is calling from the same country... Country code will be omited. So you wouldn't see the name of the person who's calling... and vise versa
Did you find any solution?
Thanks,
Angelo

Wow this thread's a blast from the past
TBH I've not noticed the problem again, which could mean one of two things:
1) The problem has now gone after Flashing a WM6.1 ROM, or
2) I haven't had any "New" people send me a text.
Sorry I can't be of more help...
Hi,
I haven't had an issue with numbers showing on an SMS instead of names (as I store my numbers as +447976123456, but I did have a REALLY annoying issue with SMS delivery reports having the number instead of the name.
This would have been fine if I sent one text every now and then , but as a heavy texter it drove me nuts - never knowing whos message had been delivered.
Just in case anyone else is having trouble with this - try the attached file - it lets you change the format of the report you get when your SMS is delivered!

Hey everyone, having an issue with my TYTN II.
The contacts from my sim card have gone all weird.
They show up the second word first and do strange things.
i.e. if i had jim - john it shows up as -jim john.
if i had james c it shows up as c;james etc
and when im typing an SMS it wont autofind them, i have to hit the "to:" button and go in and find them, and its messed up cause its reading the names wrong...
Any help appreciated!
Hi mate,
I guess you did check the options of the contacts list... didn't you?
I don't think the Kaiser would mess them up without any external input
Err... although yesterday my Kaiser erased the whole contact list without saying a word! ...and against my will!
Had not checked the options, but did just then, couldnt find anything to change it
all of the contacts have a /1 after them, forgot to add that.
any thoughts?
cheers
