Same problem
Hi.
I used to have the same problem. Here is what i did.
Open your contacts and make sure they are listed with lastnames and a , after the lastname. If they are not listed like described then edit your contacts so only firstname is under firstname and lastname is under lastname.
If you have both firstname and lastname on name place in contacts it will not show up, and you have to edit your contacts.
It is only when watching your contacts there should be a comma (,) - when you edit or put in names you do not put the comma in yourself - it will be done automatically when you save after edit.
It worked for me.

I had this problem ages ago with my c500 and fixed it but cannot fix it with my diamond.
When a person calls - their name (and pic) appears as the person calling. Yet for 1 number only (it happens to be my gf) it comes up as the number only - and once the call is over it says 'number is not in contacts - would you like to add it'
I thought the fix would be to have both style of numbers (with +44 and without) in the various contact fields but to no joy.
It's annoying in the fact that it works for every other contact just not her! (maybe it's a sign!)
Any clues?
Long shot
Try this.. (assuming that you sync your phone with outlook)
Delete the contact from the diamond.
Edit the contact in Outlook with the contact numbers and assign a pic in Outlook itself.
Sync
See if this works.
I've tried it - still no joy. I've checked to see if any other number exists in the phone/outlook that is too similar but I can't see one. I'd read somewhere that it uses the first 7 digits for caller id - and that number is relatively unique.
hmmm
While we are trying stuff out
Delete the contact from the diamond, anyway. In the call list / history.. you should have the a received call from your gf's number.
Save it from there. Then assign a pic.
Let's see if that works.
My N1 runs on CM 5.0.6 rom. Here is what happening. If I dial phone number not from my contact list and later decide to add to contacts; the contact will be listed in the call log tab (instead of the phone number there will be an assigned name), however the same contact will not be found under the contacts tab.
How to add this to the contacts?
if I want to send a SMS there is a comma before the phone number and so it's not possible to send the SMS
It looks like this ,+49174...
If I get a SMS from such a person there is also a comma before.
this is only at some contacts.
The other contacts look like this Max Mustermann <+49174...>
I sync my contacts with the google account,
I also tried to delete the contact and add a new contact with new Name but the same number. The problem stays the same.
I'm running CM 7.0.3.
It seams nobody has this Problem
At 1 of 5 clicks at the SMS symbol the name is shown like this "Last Name, First Name" <+49174....>. Normally it should look like this First Name Last Name <+49174...>.
Can anybody help me. This is driving me crazy.
isch
[EDIT]I've deleted the mmssms.db because there was a lot of deleted sms in the database with wrong numbers[/EDIT]
i have the same problem all of a sudden. any resolutions found?
In my contacts list, I can see just the names.
Until now, I couldn`t find any option to show phone numbers under contact names in the contacts list.
But! Yesterday I updated phone software to v10c from v10b. After I updated, I openend contacts list and
saw phone numbers under contact names in the list. But when I opened contacts again numbers was disseapeared. I don`t think it was a dream
I am sure I saw it. Can someone tell me what is going on with my phone? Is there anyway to show phone numbers under contact names in the contact list? Thanks.
Update: I can see the phone numbers under names when I open contacts from sms messaging. But when I open contacts from Home, I can`t see the phone numbers under names on the list! Weird!
Hello:
When I'm editing details of contact at the phone book I see that the person have a connection with whatsapp and I can see the nickname that I saved him at the beginning, and now I want to change this nickname - how do I do it?
from the phone book it not editable, from the whatsapp there is no access to this information.
what is the way?
Thank you,
You have to rename the contact in your phonebook. There actual name that linked with the normal phone number. Then refresh whatsapp

Click to collapse
i did "Separate" at the phone book and it's disappear and i cant "join" them together.
i changed the name of the contact in my phone book and then there was 2 contacts with the same number and different names so i "join" them together.
how do i refresh the whatsapp?
In the whatsapp contact list hit the option button next to your home buttom and a refresh option should be one of the options, refresh contact list.
I understand you and i tried this and it didn't succeed (the old nickname still stay at the phonebook) so i uninstalled whatsapp and than install it again.
Thank you anyway
That's weird, I'm sorry I couldn't help. You did mean contacts nickname not your nickname on whatsapp right?
I mean when i'm editing contact at the phone book it's shows that he connected to a contact from whatsapp (same contact and jt' right and good) but the name of the contact that the phone book shows from the whatsapp is the first name that i typed when i saved the contact at the phone book.
Thank you
