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.

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...
I thought this would fix itself over time, but it hasn't.
When I text, if I start typing in the name of the person, the HTC Diamond starts to suggest names after two letters. I really like this feature.
Sometime this summer, this stoped working for my wife's name (and you can imagine that a lot of texts go to her!). There were two contacts entries for her, I deleted one and updated the other. Her contact information is updated with ActiveSync correctly. But when I type the letters of her first name, it brings up similar names, but NOT hers.
How can I restore this to the way it was working without a hard reset?
Thanks.
I tried deleting her contact completely, syncing, adding her contact back in, syncing. Then went to text and typed in her name but is was not part of the autocomplete choices.
What is going on; is there a limit to the number of autocomplete names? Are all my new contacts being turncated out? (I have 1325 contacts).
Thanks in advance for any and all assitance.
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?
Wife just got a Captivate last night and went to sync her contacts with facebook. After doing this, my phone number shows up as xxx-xxxx rather than as a 10 digit number. I have erased my number and reput it in correctly. However, it doesn't matter. Now in her contacts page, my number shows up as a 10 digit but when i send a text, the text is received from a 7 digit number.
So she can't respond to my texts but has to start a new text conversation each time. Kind of irritating.
Any ideas?
If it is pulling the number from facebook you need to edit it there.
Also, she probably has multiple linked contacts for you, one of which could be causing the issue such as phone, sim, google.
We'll try unfriending on facebook and then refriending. I looked and didn't realize my number was on there at all. Glad you said something since I have students on my facebook friends list and so I got my number erased off there.
How can I make sure that all traces of me are completely gone before I readd myself to her contacts list? Apparently what I was doing wasn't working.
In her contact for you it will show if there are multiple that are joined. You can edit them individually though you may need to unlink them in order to do so.
We deleted me. We removed me from a facebook friend. On the magnifying glass, I don't show up under contacts.
Reput me back in and same result.
When I send her a text, my 7 digit number shows up. She can send me a message as I'm now in her contacts with a 10 digit number. But my texts to her show up with a 7 digit number and therefore can't message directly back.
Sounds like it still has the number saved as a linked contact and hasn't updated the correct one from facebook. I would go into the contacts on her phone and look and see if there are multiple numbers under your name.

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? :/
