there was a patch for windows mobile that replaces phone numbers inside sms message text with their contact name if stored on the same mobile phonebook .
is there something similar for android
and specially for the note?

Hi, on some mobile phones there is an option to send dtmf tones direct from contacts
EG.
1) I call 0800 CALLING CARD number and get through to telco
2) I quickly go into my contacts and pull out the relevant contact and send the number as a dtmf tone
3) I get through to the contact
Any software please as Windows mobile has no such feature.
I dont think that this is possible as you would be looking at a registry edit to auto send this when you go into your contacts from the phonebook
Hi,
Coming form the WM platform I got used to a program called smsdrfix. When you receive a sms message that contains a phone number of a person you have in your contacts the number is replaced with the contact name by this program. This is very useful when your carrier sends "You missed a call" messages with phone numbers in them, its a real pain in the ass to find the contact by number.
Is there any similar app for android ?
Id be glad to pay a few euro if there was....

Hi all.
I'm trying to do something pretty simple and it's probably just me missing something obvious but here goes:
I'm trying to add contact pictures / thumbnails to all the people or companies that send me text messages. With friends this is never a problem. Normally If someone sends me a text who is not in my contacts list then the sender name simply shows as their phone number - and I can add it to my contacts list and assign a contact picture which the messaging app then picks up ( instead of the standard android picture ( see a few examples in pic 1 ).
However some companies ( I'm using NatWest as an example in this case - see attached pic 1 ) actually come though on the messaging app as NatWest ( rather than a phone number ) - and I have no idea what number the text originated from ( not that I want to reply or anything ).
This means that when I long press on the message and choose to add it to my contacts then it shows the phone number as "NatWest" ( without the quotes - see attached pic 2 ). As a result the messaging app doesn't pick up on the contact picture I have chosen and just uses the default android pic as if it was an unknown recipient.
As you can see in Pic 2 I have assigned the NatWest logo to the contact entry but it still shows as the default picture in the messaging app - as per in Pic 1.
How do I know what number ( probably one of those 6 digit short numbers ) the text is actually coming from? Or how do I get the messaging app to display a contact picture of my choosing rather than the default one?
If it makes any difference I'm using a Motorola Milestone running CM6 12/12/2010.
Thanks.
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? :/
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.
