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?
bump.......
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. I have a Kaiser with Dutty's Rom. I'm in Peru.
When i receive a message (normal style, no threated), the number showed is (by example) +511980816915. When i answer it, i answer to the same number, +511980816915, of course. By the way, +511 is the country/city code.
This is my problem. My service plan needs an extra "9" to make a call or send a text message. It means, when i answer the example message, the number should be +5119980816915. So i can't send a message by selecting the answer message option directly.
Could you help me? Is there any script to do it (put an extra "9"? Thanks in advance.
I messaged someone that might be from peru and gave him the link to this thread. This sounds tricky.
Hi, I´m in Perú too, Im think thats nothing wrong if you take attention apart of the +511 you have the nine numbers of the new numeration that includes the 9. Let me test in my artemis.
Hi all,
Newbie here.
Odd thing is I have backed up and restored all my contacts to my new Diamond, both SIM and to contacts, yet they are not visible?
Additionally, when I try to save a number from a call I'm asked to 'select' a name, not a new contact.
Any help much appreciated.
ps Thanks to all the good stuff on here, very very helpful even for me, technically v poor.

Oh, and please be more creative with your topic title next time ;-)
Hi,
I used to have this function. When anyone calls me, the phone used to announce the name or the number (if name was not stored in contact list). I had to do hard restore and now, it doesn't do it. Can anyone please help me on this issue. It's been bugging me for quite some time. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Should be M$ Voice Command that has that function
