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?

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.

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!

Hi,
using Windows Mobile 6.1, SMS list shows the time for SMS reveived today but only date for older SMS.
1- Is there any way to SHOW the time for older SMS?
2- If there's no way to show it, is there at least a way to KNOW this time?!
It seems an incredible lack to miss an option to show SMS details including timestamp and also the EXACT used number (because some contacts may have many numbers and the SMS thread only shows the contact name!)
Pleas Help!
Thanks in advance.
BTW: I found at least three threads about this issue in xda-developers forums but none of them gives a solution!
Try copying the sms in question to sim...
When viewing your SMS, on top of the screen you have the name of the contact, just go up to see the date and time.
No clue for exact number instead of the contact's name.

is there a cab or something? i dont want to change all my contacts its gonna take me all week
You can do it through your Google account online. Download your contacts as csv, edit the fields, then upload the changes. Editing the fields should be easy, if you use find and replace...
Change at least one number from your phone, so you can see which field out gets assigned to...

The feature of the HTC One consolidating all messages to under the same person with different phone numbers is annoying for me.
many people i know have a personal and work mobile phone, so 2 numbers.
but the messaging app consolidates and puts it under the same name, so everytime i want to text i have to go to the menu and select which to send to
is there a way to remove this feature, or the only way is to create 2 contacts for the same person in the phonebook?
TIA
I think you could go to edit contact and unlink the numbers. Not positive but I think it could work.

thanks for the suggestion, haven't tried it out since i downloaded the Go Pro sms right after posting
i think i'll just stay with this app, more options and customizing
Sry,
i am not allowed to post in the developement forum because i have laess than 10 post.
I am using on my S4 active cm-10.2-20131219-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.
1. Is it possible to sort the contacts by name und not by front name?
2. Has any one problems with SMS? I think that i do not receive al my SMS. I can sent to anybody and i know that i have now problems. But from many persons i do not receive the SMS. I have activated "Datenschutz" <-> "data protection?". Could this be a problem. Under data protection i am not able to set rules for the App SMS/MMS because there is no entry of this app. All other Apps are list there.
Thanks
