When I recieve a incoming call or text message my phone does not recognize the number as the name stored in my "contacts.
For example if I have Bob's cell number stored under "Bob as his cell phone as "555-555-5555," when the call comes in it is displayed as simply, (555)555-5555.
I have tried adding a 1 to the number stored in the phonebook and this gets that same result.
However, I can go into the call log and then choose "save number to contact" and select the number and overwrite the number and once I do that the name is displayed as "Bob" in the call log. But when they call again, I get no name displayed and it was like I never added his number to the name.
I am running the new ATT ROM downloaded from HTC's website "Build date 5-06-2009."
This was not happening before I flashed the new ROM.
Called ATT...no idea...refered me to HTC...called HTC...had no idea...said to reflash.
Don't want to have to reload all my crap if possible.
I have even tried restoring my contacts again from Sprite....no change.
Wrong "Regional Settings"?
Try changing your "Regional Settings" in system settings. I had mine set to "English (United States)", which wrongly displayed my incoming calls. Setting this to "English (United Kingdom)" solved my problem.
Hope this helps
I had the same problem. But what I do is that when ever someone calls me i choose same number to existing contact and you pick the right contact and then you press save and it will ask you if you would like to update the number and just choose "yes" and now when they call it should say the name. I dont know why but it keept doing this after i reflashed.

I have just purchase the above PDA (ROM:1.56.721.3 dated 29.08.07) with radio version 1.27.2.11. When I receive a local call from contact, the name of the caller does is not displayed. Only the phone number (7 digits). However, when I receive an SMS, the name of the same caller is displayed. If I remove the country code in the contact number and leave the local number only, then the name of the caller is displayed. In that case, the name is not displayed when I receive and SMS from that contact. Can you please help?
found this on expansys forum : Can you test it and let us know?
I also have found the solution to my problem and it works great. Mine was not due to Contact duplicates, but rather due to a registry setting.
If duplicate contacts are not your problem, all you need to do is get a Registry editor and change the folling entry from an 8 to a 7.
Change the following registry key value to 7 -- HKEYCurrentUser\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch. Restart your pda. That should fix it.
(note: in the regedit, don't click the + next to phone folder, click the the phone folder itself)
This is the link to the the forum thread I found this solution on. https://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2302918&SiteID=65

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?

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?
When I use the smartdail function and a contact that has multiple numbers, I can only choose whitch number to call the first time by click right on the D pad.
The second time I want to call that contact there is only the redial choice and no option to select the second number.
Why it doesn't show the contact any more so I can choose whitch number to call?
On my Tytn II and Wizard this works flawless!!!
I think this behaviour has changed in the latest ROMs (2.03).

No not with me, still I can select one number from a contact and after calling there is only the last called number present. When I want to select the second I have to use icontacts for example to switch.
It's strange. I have updated to 2.03, and now the following info appears when I look for a contact:
- last called number entry
- quickdial contact entry (if exists)
- full info contact entry
Can anoybody else check it?
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

Hi,
I've found the software "call sms blocker". It had been made to block incoming unwanted calls and logged it... hide private sms...
I've attent to configure it but no way ! it does not stop anything that incoming !
Have you test it ? with success ???
yes. I use it and it works perfectly. It is an awesome program.
The way i have it setup is I have it set to accept all and then I make a custom list of numbers to reject. In this custom list I added all my phonebook contacts. Its kind of confusing but you have to remember that your phone only replies via sms to REJECTED calls/ and or sms. So yeah it sems weird to say reject contacts but this is what u need to do if you want your phone to send an automatic sms reply back to your contact.
So i did this for both calls and sms. I set both to ACCEPT under the "status" tab. then go into each tab "call" and "sms" and create new lists within each. Do this by tapping and holding in the window area and say ADD. Name it, make it REJECT, and make the action Hangup. Then go down to "List" (right soft key) and select number>add>phonebook. You can then check all the numbers from your phonebook that you want to add. Then also under "List" (right soft key) you can go into Advance Opt and set your custom message.
Repeat for the "sms" tab. Tap and hold in window area to make a new list. Name it, make it REJECT type, and I say "move to blocked" for action type. (this creates a new folder in your inbox of your messages so it makes it easy to find the sms that the program blocked. Add numbers from your phonebook same as I said above.
Now one thing to keep in mind. When I first started using this program I found that it only responded to my missed calls and not sms. What I discovered was that all the numbers for the sms list had to have a 1 in front of the number so that it looked like this 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Whereas for my call list, the numbers in the list are like this (xxx) xxx-xxxx. For some reason I dont know why, this makes a difference.
So give it a try. I hope this helps you.
