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!

Ok, I know that title is a little convoluted, but I don't know how else to put it. Basically when entering the recipients name in the "To" input field, some contacts don't show up. Example: Say I wanna send a text to Brian Knoll. I open Messaging app and start typing his name in the TO box, I get Brian Davids, or Briannna, or Brittany, but no Brian Knoll. I'd have to back out, search for his contact via phone search or contacts app and then compose a text that way. This is the same for about half my contacts and is NOT rom specific. I know it's not SIM contacs screwing it up either, cause I can store a brand new contact and have the same thing happen when trying to find it. What gives???
I also noticed this problem. In fact, I only get listed those contacts which have been synced from Facebook but not the ones comming from the sim card...

I think as far as your problem is concerned, You can fix that in contact settings > import/export > import SIM contacts.
make sure its saved as a mobile number and not home or work it won't add a home number cause you shouldn't be textin a house
Easy fix.
Go to brian first and then compose the text message.
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.

I just got my Razr i and I have a problem with contact names not showing in recent calls list.
When the Dialer displays the recent calls list, I see only numbers, no contact names, but when I am actually calling (typing a number) I do get the contact name.
All my contacts are from Google Contacts.
I tried installing Dialer One app and it acts the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Avner.
Edit: Same thing happens in the SMS app; I see the contact number, not the contact name associated with it.
Hi there, does this problem was solved?

Hi, is it really ALL contact names that show as numbers or just a couple? I had the issue with my girlfriends number for some reason it wouldn't show the name..
I read on another forum to just delete it and re-add it in the absolute same way as before.. and voila, worked.
Maybe try one number first, and see if that helps... if so, you may have a weird formatting in your contacts numbers...
good luck, Stefan
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

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
