Hey
I recently bought a HTC TD2. I have one major problem though. When someone calls/sends a sms the phone only displays the number not the name, even though the contacts are saved to the phone.
It happens with at least 7 different contacts.
(I've searched but can't find a solution that has actually been successful)
Could anyone provide some assistance?
Thank you
im having the same issue on my compact V. The numbers are stored in the SIM and in the contacts but it still fails to recognise.
Forget it man, I have the same problem and did everything possible to solve but couldn't. I changed the caller ID match values, the contacts memory, contacts format, and deleted the contact and recreated it again with no hope....now I'm waiting the technical support of HTC
Same issue here... Hard reset solved problem...
I'm having same issue for some of my contacts.
Yes hard reset and add the contact one-by-one solved the problem, but it happened again when I restored all the contact lists from my backup, even the backup was created (I think) before this problem happened.
So maybe something with the list of my contact, either they were not saved in the same format or they were inconsistently saved with only <firstname>, only <lastname> or <firstname lastname>.
Still investigating.... I've tried to increase my registry key "CallIDMatch" from 8 to 12 and will see...
Had the same issue. HTC tech support didn't know how to fix this, so the last resort was hard reset... and it fixed it.
Try one of two things -
(a) Check if you have multiple entries, I had discovered that multiple entries (of numbers and not names) had caused this before;
(b) Check to see if the mobile number is stored under "Mobile" and not some other entry. It does appear that entering the mobile number and storing it under "Work", for example, might cause this.

Interesting problem this, it seems to have just started to happen out of the blue a few days ago.
The problem, in a nutshell, is that whatever I try to do, be it recreate the entries in the Address Book, create a duplicate entry with the same name, use the O2 Plus feature which lets you save a contact to your address book and make a new entry like that... Whatever I do, whenever I receive a new text message, the person's name isn't shown as the sender, just their mobile number in international format.
Even if I have that contact in my phone already, with their number in the same format as is shown on the text message (+447...), their name doesn't show at all. It's really starting to annoy me, as I've not added or removed anything to my XDA and yet this problem isn't going away.
Argh! Anybody have any ideas as to what's wrong? I might ring O2's oddly-named Data Support and quiz them about this tomorrow, too...
Cheers again everyone,
Christopher
When you search the forum for "CallerID" you'll find a few people asking about the same problem, mainly when receiving calls however not SMS' and some suggestions.
Do you have photos attached to your contacts? I'd try reinstalling the CallerID_Alpine_... from your Extended_Rom, if all fails it might be easiest to restore a backup (if you got one that is).
hth,

I did some further testing today, borrowed a mate's phone and rang mine... Bizarre, the first time my phone was rung, it would take approx. 30 seconds for the name of the caller to show, the number showed up fine though. Subsequent dials would result in the name showing up almost instantly (as usual)...
.... Veeeeeeery odd. I'll just dash off and try reinstalling this CallerID cab...

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.

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?

UPDATE: IT WORKS!!
how'd you know?

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.

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
Hello!
I also have the same problem, because of the indicative of the country, already send an email for the HTC, to try to decide the problem. I am waiting a reply of them.
have a look:

I've searched the threads and haven't found anything like this.
All of my contacts in the phone sync up correctly with Google. No problems there.
What is odd however is that if there are multiple numbers stored under a single name, if a call comes in that is not the first number in the list, the contact name is not shown on the screen, only the number.
Example:
Name: First Last
Home: 333-555-1212
Mobile: 333-999-2121
If a call comes in from the home number, the contact name is shown on the screen.
If the call comes in from the mobile number, only the number is shown and the contact name is never displayed.
This has been happening from day one, long before rooting and installing custom roms and it continues to occur no matter what rom I have running.
I've tried deleting and recreating the contacts, but this does not help.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there possibly a fix? It's a minor problem, but kind of annoying.
Hey there, i have a rather odd problem. The contact app crashes if i select the owner entry, i.e. my own entry.
I'm running CM11, so I'm on the stock rom. Except for this small issue, everything thing is working fine.
Just for your information: The contact was working, but after an edit it just started to crash.
So, what can I do about it?
Greetings BrainInBlack
UPDATE:
After a bunch of research, i had made a forced re-sync of my contacts, delete and reboot, the problem still persists. I.e. the data over at google hast to be corrupted as well. What can i do about it? I really need that feature, because i use my own contact to share my contact data quickly to other people.
Yes i could make a new entry, but that would generate redundant data and doesn't fix the problem at all. It's just a workaround.
Sorry guys, but i have to push this thread... still not resolved!
EDIT/UPDATE:
Narrowed down to the mobile number used by the phone... i.e. if i add the number used by the phone, to any contact, the app will crash.
