handcent sms 3.6.1 display the name of the received sms contact name as it is in my contacts list, the updated version of handcent will not display the name of the contacts, instead it will display the number only, same as what go sms do, it only display the number of the contact. is there any way to make go sms display the name as it is in my contacts list?
strange issue
indeed, any other suggestion how to solve this problem, especially when the apps did not show the name listed in the contacts list, it display instead the number with the interational code, so maybe i have to predefine the international code in the android settings (maybe), so is there a way to do that?
any news on this issue?
I haven't tested the program (I prefer stock) but surely this is in the settings, I'm sure the last time I used Handcent, it had the option to view by name or number...?
I actually sometimes get this issuse, I normaly just have to write a bit with the person, until handcent notices, that the contact has a name? :/

Hi all!
I was wondering if there is a way to force the SMS application to requery the Number->Contact relationship.
I have a number of text messages which only show the phone number but not the contact name even though there is such a contact in my address book.
I tried doing it by deleting all texts and restoring a backup from PIM backup but no luck...
Many Thanks!

In WM6.1, mine get fixed if I receive a new text from an updated contact. I still have some with Last, First because I haven't received anything from them.
Thanks
I just upgraded to 6.1, so lets see what happens!
I just received a text from one of the "problematic" contacts, but no luck.
The new text does show his name, but none of the older ones got updated...
Edit: The annoying thing is that the problem exists only in the lists view. If I open the text, the contact details show up fine...
so i delete #'s i no longer need out of my phonebook but when i go thru my phonebook from handcent or messanger - the phone # still shows up. Is there some sort of secondary book the program is looking in when you want to send an SMS/MMS?
If they are on your friends list on facebook and they have their number posted it will do this. Otherwise I'm not sure why it would.
no - my fB isnt set to sync nor are the numbers im talking about even on my Fb friends list...
its numbers i've once added, then i went thru and deleted old #'s i dont call so theyre not longer in my phonebook but when i go to text message someone, it shows up in my "text phonebook"
this is very interesting. perhaps its related to the "wrong recipient" thread over in the general forum. its gotta be a bug no matter what, right?
this happened to me a while back when I tried to delete my ex.
what worked for me was when I logged into my google account (i logged into voice)
and clicked contacts, and deleted her from there. that worked for me, but idk.
Try to check whether you have included the respective folder/label of contacts in your contact list. Perhaps the messaging app searches through all contacts regardless of label.
Contact list will only show those contacts that have the labels you have chosen. Perhaps the deleted contacts got moved to a [Trash] label?
ok so I know the captivate won't allow me to choose which gmail contact groups to sync (although other phones do, wtf), and I've told it to only display contacts with phone numbers, and I've also chosen to display only a certain group.
my problem is when choosing a contact to send and sms to it shows ALL contacts so I have a bazillion sale****@craigslist.com to sort through... using the search allows me to find what I want, but as a bit of a perfectionist it bothers me that this one little hiccup is left in my setup.
is there anything to be done about this? I'm ok using a different contacts program, or even a different sms program, so long as this issue is resolved.
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.

[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?
I have been wondering about this next thing:
I have a friend in Georgia (country) who tries to send me a text message, but i won't receive it.
She can call me, i can call her, i can send her text messages, but the only thing that doesn't work is that i won't receive her text messages.
Can it be the problem that she calls/sends with her number as 'anonymous'?
If so, can i change it somewhere in my setting, that i can receive these text messages from anonymous senders?
Do you have any black list programs?Maybe there is your answer.
Or you can put her number as a contact so it will not be anonymous .Or you mean that there is no number ,its hidden ?
No, i haven't any blacklist software. Only the original settings and programs from Kitkat.
And yes, i mean the number is hidden. I have the number in my list.
