Contact names not being shown correctly on incoming SMSes

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...

How can i auto queue text msgs to resend when i have a signal?

can someone answer the above? At present, when u write a text message and are with no signal it simply puts the text message in ur draft folder which i find useless. I know nokia, has a 'resend' option or something. Anyone know of anything for the kaiser?

That would be a nice feature, i've come stuck a couple times like that (on a flight and out of coverage) and had to save them as drafts then click on send later when back in service.
I send a lot of texts to large groups and also find they stick in the outbox sometimes never moving, if i try and click them they send repeatedly sometimes people get 5 or 6 messages. Both these issues were a problem for previous versions you would have thought they had sorted it by now.

You could try using the 02 SMS Plus application...it lets you set a schedule as well as lets u send group sms's. It comes bundled with all 02 phones and should work on Wm5 and Wm6. Try searching the forum for a Cab file of the application

TXT Messages disappearing

Does anyone know how to stop text messages disappearing off the wizzy messages tab after midnight ?
I have had a few texts during the day and they disappear at around midnight it seems... not tested fully yet.
They are still there as a conversation if you hit the All Messages soft key, so not deleted or dumped by the phone. Both are from the same sender.
Any clues ?

Anyone ??

I think your all alone on this one buddy

Does it happen with every msg from everyone or just from certain people?
If it from certain people then it could be down to the Validility settings on their phone... if it happens to every msg then i'm not sure..
.G.

mmm will have to keep an eye on this. Have left a good number in my phone instead of deleting them.
Its an hour to midnight... lets see what happens

Text message won't disappear

I'm hoping someone can help me out here, but I sent a lot of text messages trying to win tickets to a concert. I've since delted all the text messages, but it still shows there's one in the inbox. I cleared out all the text messages and email. I reset the phone three times now and even took the battery out, but it still says there's one message in there. It's not a big deal, but i'd hate to have hard reset the phone just to get that off there. Any suggestions or comments are welcomed

Same problem for me since 2 weeks !!! didn't figure out how to fix it !!!! except a hard reset.. which is something i don't want to do..
if someone has an answer... welcome !!!

Ive found the answer!!!
Ive found a fix if you guys haven't already and it doesn't involve a hard reset.

I'm having this same problem, could you please post the fix?

This is just an FYI to anyone else having this problem. I tried quite a few different things and none of them worked. I got the FixUnreadCount.exe from Raven, and that didn't solve the problem. I went into the registry and tried a few different things, including the changing the SMS and MMS counts to 0. That would work for a little while, but as soon as I would get another text message, the count would go back up for two messages that I couldn't see. I even completely cleared my inbox, but the count still showed two unread messages.
What I ended up having to do was disable threaded messaging (see the FAQs for how to do this) in order to see the two messages that were there. They didn't show up in threaded messaging, but when I went back to a regular inbox with all of my messages pooled together, I was able to see two text messages with no sender (not sure how that happens). I deleted them from there, cleared them from the "Deleted" folder, and then re-enabled threaded messaging. At that point, the count was back to normal.

thanks a lot!
it works...!

Unread SMS - but no SMS!!

I've used fixunreadcount.cab, tried turning off threaded messages and deleting from there, but nothing works! It says I have 1 unread SMS, when NOTHING IS IN ANY OF THEM. I am NOT going to hard reset, i put too much into this phone

might it be an MMS waiting to be downloaded?

Hey,
if you have a registry editor on your device, please check the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread]
You should find under it the following entry: "Count"
Try to set its value to dword:00000000 - afterwards exit the reg editor, open shortly another program to give the device time to correctly store the value, then soft reset your device.

I randomly have to fix this myself.. Sometimes I'll get a text message and it'll beep multiple times, as if I have multiple SMS, but when I read 'em I only find one, but the unread count is 2, so once I read it, it's still 1. Then I have to go in and edit that registry key.
Very annoying. I wonder if anyone has made a simple program that 0's out all of those unread keys to make 'fixing' this simple?

It is just not worth the effort to write a tiny little program for it.
Simply export your REGISTRY KEY once it is set to "0", then import it whenever it is needed ...

maybe U guys can look here...
was having the same problem...
