you need to remove the contacts from the simi card and onto the device then you will be able too..please search this has also been asked alot
thats not true because this happens to me and all my contacts are on the phone..
and i still get numbers instead of their names.
and no this isnt an issue because ive searched and searched and searched

Did you do some type of back up? Using what? What Rom are you using? Under Diamond Tweak and/or advanaced Config click on hide sim contacts.
texting
hi,
i have already cleared the sim and contacts and then gone on to enter back on to contacts, it still doesnt work.
i have had my phone for a week now.
maybe tmobile will eventually update this on the next rom update if possible?
but is there not an application to sort this out that i could get hold off?

right on man thanks
Actually I have a similar issue.
Stock T-Mobile MDA Vario IV
All contacts saved to phone memory, in the 07 format.
Incomming calls show the callers name if in contact list, all text messages show +447 number instead of 07 number and no name.
If contact is changed to +447 then texts show contact name, but incoming calls only show number :S
Any Ideas on a resolution?
I had the same problem after I installed the official HTC ROM update that was released mid Feb. I noticed that for my contact numbers here in the US, if the number didn't have a 1 before the contact's number, it would not recognize the number in my contact list. after i went thru all my contacts (a MAJOR PAIN IN THE A$$) and added the 1 before all the numbers, all my contacts' names appear again. not sure if that helps...
there with you guys. also on tmobile stock rom.
all my contacts are in outlook. ( not sure if that is on phone or mem card.)
but texts come thru with +44 and my phone doesnt recognise them. i am currently haveing to save the new numbers but when i sync on my pc. it reverts to the old ones coz i sync pc to phone.
seems to be generically vbe a tmobile vario 4 issue.
I have the same problem and I'm on Orange but I decided to try the NEW SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 so this might be causing the same problem.
I am going to try the newer update from Orange to see if that will work.
Mines has been showing "unknown caller" along with the telephone number when I call my mobile from my home phone and the messages are just showing up with the number.
This problem has been bugging me from the last few months but I didnt realize that there may be a solution to this until I seen the amount of posts for tweaks on here.
I am nearly fed up with the phone...I just began enjoying this new ROM that I put on it coz my last Orange one was apparently an old one.
Will let you all know how it goes.

Just to let you all know that I updated with WM6.1 WWE CE OS 20764, Build 20764.1.4.3, V2.6 Full, UC Ready ROM and it seems to have worked a treat...all my numbers are showing names now and I have a much faster phone with additional positive tweaks.
It has a slider on screen on it too that you must slide to the left to answer or right to ignore...this ensures that it will not mistakenly get answered in the pocket.
Highly Recommended!
All Credit Goes to swtos and you can find the link for the lite and full versions here.
Peace.
been a while since i ran into this...
But I do believe there's a registry setting that is used to determine how many trailing numbers are used to identify contacts.. if you drop it by a number or 2 it should still work, and may solve that '1' not being there..
wish I could remember where I saw this registry setting...
Anyway, I don't really run into this issue, but I'm using ROMeOS... and all my numbers I went through and manually edited on my exchange account to always be in the (xxx) xxx-xxxx format, including formatting. Every number shows fine -- But I also have no SIM contacts (with exchange backup and spare phones with backups I don't see the need, it just seems to confuse things)
now showing all contaacts
i finally resolved this and posting back on the thread i read bb lee post.
that is what i did.
if you do advanced config there is an option use X number of trailing numbers to identify numbers i have set this to 10 this will then recognise regardless of +44 or 0.
anyone else try this and let me know if it resolves yours too.

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?
bump.......
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.
Regards,
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!
Cheers

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
In my contacts I have 5 contacts with a icon similar to the sim card icon, with a lock on them.
The contacts have the name '<Unnamed>'
I do not know how these contacts got there in the first place. I do not have the option to delete/edit and the contacts are empty.
How do I get rid of them?
I have the same problem . they appeared after i installed the 6.1 rom. They appear to be the phone provider numbers (vodafone). They all have lcoks on them and i cant remove them either.
I have the same problem with my Orange TyTN II with Windows Mobile 6.1.
This is just one of the many, many reasons I despise Microsoft. They are trying to turn computers into something that they and other large corporations control instead of the paying customer. And as for Orange, well, it seems their management or software development team - or both! - are complete morons.
Can anyone give me a clue how to get rid of these annoying intrusions?

Yes, this are pre-set contacts on your SIM card. They are saved on your SIM by your service provider. The editing of the above registry key lets you at least hide the SIM contacts in your contact list. That does not mean they are no longer there, you just do not have to see them any longer.
I was able to delete them using SBSH's PocketBreeze. I just went to Contacts Tabs and it let me delete them.
Unnamed new contacts
I have a little problem and I don't know how to fix it.
I have contacts only on my mobile phone, on my sim card is empty-see contacts on sim card is disable.
When I got new call, from unknown person, I have info that I can add this contact to my list as a new or add to already exist. I want add as a new, so i'm writing all important info: name,last name,number... and new contact I see as a "unnamed". PLEASE .. help me fix it.

Hello,
I have search extensively with various keywords both in the top-level forums as well as Google and I cannot find a solution to this problem. Actually, I have only found one other person on another board who has even mentioned it (no replies yet) so I wanted to ask here.
I have an at&t Fuze and when I compose a message and type in a recipient name and select "Check Names" from the menu, it gives me a list of names and when I select one, it fills in the field correctly and then immediately crashes.
I have tried various cooked ROMs as well as the stock at&t ROM with them all producing the same results. Currently I am running Monx's ROMeOS 1.40.1 (which smokes BTW!) and I have tried every possible setting I can think of (including Adv. Config) to no avail. There are no other issues with the phone other than this. Could this be a HW issue? It might be a stretch considering the symptoms but I am willing to believe anything at this point...
Please Help!
Just found this thread - Im having the SAME issue... Im surprised that nobody else has the issue or that nobody else uses Check Names...
perhaps its a corrupt contact entry. Have you tried deleting and recreating it? Or is it happening for all contact entries?
Good thought - but unfortunately its happening for good contacts. Even NEW contacts. Occasionally it will find the contact, put the name in, then close out or when it cant find a contact, it will just close out. Furthermore, its only happening for e-mail message types. MMS/SMS the checknames function works fine...
I had the same problem with one of the latest ROMeOS 1.80.* versions.
Currently I don't have the problem with 1.95.1
If I remember right, if you start with adding the receipient it works, but if you first type your text message, and then add a contact, it will crash.
1.95.1 eh? Ill have to give it a go.
Mine will crash regardless of whether text is in the field first or not, i've tried both ways and have the same results.
In narrowing down the problem to add-on applications, did you have Xpress mail installed? or any other e-mail forwarding service? Im wondering if that has anything to do with it...
i've had the same issue as well.... but it's wierd..
if the contact is a personal contact, it works fine. if it has to search my business contacts (ota activesync/exchange 2007) it will crash.
@b_slice
No, don't have Xpress mail installed.
@godashram
I don't use business contacts.
Well, that helps to eliminate potential culprits.
godashram - Mine will crash regardless of contact type, business or personal
Just a +1 from me as well.
I'm using a HTC Diamond with the stock HTC 2.03 ROM. SMS crashes and goes back to Manila when using the 'check names' function.
It happens all the time: It doesn't matter which contact I try and it also doesn't matter if I've typed in a text message or not.
Programs running in the background are: Touchlockpro and Manila.
I hope someone can come up with the cause and the solution for this.
This seems to be an inherent bug in the Stock ROM. I've uploaded 4 to 5 ROMs from different chef's and NONE of them have this same issue.
Im currently rocking the Energy 3.0 WM 6.5 and contact searching and check names is working FLAWLESSLY.
Hello,
I just installed a different rom than i had before on my tytn II.
I downloaded it from the HTC website.
"HTC TyTN II_RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship.exe"
I saw there was some slight changes with my previous one, which at first glance looked exactly the same. The problem im stuck with is that my SIM contacts are shown in the list of people when I get into New Text Message. So if I were to begin typing a name.. by just pressing "M", all the names starting with M would appear, twice! The SIM ones and phone stored contacts. Pretty annoying!
Ive tried so far:
RilhasHideSIM
Rstein.HideSimInstall
KaiserSimFix
KaiserTweak
These worked fine with my previous ROM, making the SIM contacts dissapear from the contacts list & list of people that appear in new txt message. This time however it only removed them from the contacts list.. and i havnt found a thread like this one. If there still is one, feel free to direct me there .
Any help appreciated!
Greets
sorry mate, i cant help you.
mabye anybody else?
