Hi. I have the S21 ultra Exynos international version (France). I change it or the indonesian ROM in order to have call recording. Nevertheless I have a huge problem with my contact file. The phone messes up all my contacts. I tried several times using my contacts backup files : always the same result : it's a mess. Never be able to find all my contacts : both side mess up : Google (via pc synchronisation) or S21 ultra via Samsung account. Any idea to solve this ?
By the past I had an Oppo find 7 and I had the same problem (due to the Chinese contacts format?). I dont remember how I procedded in order to fix that.
Thanking you in advance
Facts : once synchronised with my google account, all contacts have been "converted" in phone numbres i.e. I had lot of phone numbres of my contacts even in my sms and whatsapp recovered messages. In order to find a nam I had to search it within my contacts (samsung) application, edit it and then pass the call. In the same time when I took a look within the google contacts application I have the same problem, plus the fact that the number of my contacts is not the same as per the Samsung dialer/contacts application. Once I'm editing a contact and putting it in the "correct" form i.e. name then number(s) etc, there is not synchronisation withh my google account. Once i deleted all records from the Samsung contact application and imported my contacts via a vcard file (previously saved via pc through google contacts) I had the same result i.e. lots of numbers instead of names and some "correct" contacts. Synchronising with google does not provide a clean result and some contacts are missing. So i thing thtat there is a wrong mapping between google and my S21 ultra. I tried to make another import from my saved vcard to s21ultra and this time I declared to save all those contacts into my phone. I had the same result : lot of phone numbers and some "clean" records.

Hello TK!
Hope you are doing well
What is the problem exactly? You mention you have a problem, but not what the problem is.
You can also manage your contacts from contacts.google.com and sort/edit the information from there before syncing it to your phone.

What do you mean by "it's a mess" ? That could be anything. Do you mean duplicates? Or unintelligible characters? Or missing numbers?
Could you at least describe the issue in detail? I'm not sure anyone will be able to help you fix something unless they can understand what is broken...

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?

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.
Regards,
Carty..
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 few problems with the gestion of SMS on my diamond. Maybe there is some registry trick to fix them ?
- if I delete a SMS from the SMS/MMS box it goes to the deleted sms folder which is normal and cool. If I delete a SMS from TF3D it is permanently deleted (doesn't go in the deleted folder). Is there an option to not have it permanently deleted ?
- if I have a contact with many mobile number (from different coutry in my case) it only show the contact name when I get a sms. I need to know the phone number used to write to me. Is it possible ?
Thanks,

*bump*
Can't believe nobody found a fix for that

Can I add something to this?
I don't use TF though. My sms is shown in threaded view.
Now I would like to see when and what time the sms was received or send. I can only see what time a message was send/received when it was s/r on the same day. When that day is over you can only see on what day the sms was s/r.
Is there a way to view both day and time a sms is s/r?

Did you do some type of back up? Using what? What Rom are you using? Under Diamond Tweak and/or advanaced Config click on hide sim contacts.
texting
hi,
i have already cleared the sim and contacts and then gone on to enter back on to contacts, it still doesnt work.
i have had my phone for a week now.
maybe tmobile will eventually update this on the next rom update if possible?
but is there not an application to sort this out that i could get hold off?

yea i use Sprite Backup 6.5.4 but i hardly think thats the problem..
ill try the diamconfig method and see
UPDATE: IT WORKS!!
how'd you know?
thats so weird too because i have no contacts on my sim..
right on man thanks
Actually I have a similar issue.
Stock T-Mobile MDA Vario IV
All contacts saved to phone memory, in the 07 format.
Incomming calls show the callers name if in contact list, all text messages show +447 number instead of 07 number and no name.
If contact is changed to +447 then texts show contact name, but incoming calls only show number :S
Any Ideas on a resolution?
I had the same problem after I installed the official HTC ROM update that was released mid Feb. I noticed that for my contact numbers here in the US, if the number didn't have a 1 before the contact's number, it would not recognize the number in my contact list. after i went thru all my contacts (a MAJOR PAIN IN THE A$$) and added the 1 before all the numbers, all my contacts' names appear again. not sure if that helps...
there with you guys. also on tmobile stock rom.
all my contacts are in outlook. ( not sure if that is on phone or mem card.)
but texts come thru with +44 and my phone doesnt recognise them. i am currently haveing to save the new numbers but when i sync on my pc. it reverts to the old ones coz i sync pc to phone.
seems to be generically vbe a tmobile vario 4 issue.
I have the same problem and I'm on Orange but I decided to try the NEW SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 so this might be causing the same problem.
I am going to try the newer update from Orange to see if that will work.
Mines has been showing "unknown caller" along with the telephone number when I call my mobile from my home phone and the messages are just showing up with the number.
This problem has been bugging me from the last few months but I didnt realize that there may be a solution to this until I seen the amount of posts for tweaks on here.
I am nearly fed up with the phone...I just began enjoying this new ROM that I put on it coz my last Orange one was apparently an old one.
Will let you all know how it goes.

Just to let you all know that I updated with WM6.1 WWE CE OS 20764, Build 20764.1.4.3, V2.6 Full, UC Ready ROM and it seems to have worked a treat...all my numbers are showing names now and I have a much faster phone with additional positive tweaks.
It has a slider on screen on it too that you must slide to the left to answer or right to ignore...this ensures that it will not mistakenly get answered in the pocket.
Highly Recommended!
All Credit Goes to swtos and you can find the link for the lite and full versions here.
Peace.
been a while since i ran into this...
But I do believe there's a registry setting that is used to determine how many trailing numbers are used to identify contacts.. if you drop it by a number or 2 it should still work, and may solve that '1' not being there..
wish I could remember where I saw this registry setting...
Anyway, I don't really run into this issue, but I'm using ROMeOS... and all my numbers I went through and manually edited on my exchange account to always be in the (xxx) xxx-xxxx format, including formatting. Every number shows fine -- But I also have no SIM contacts (with exchange backup and spare phones with backups I don't see the need, it just seems to confuse things)
now showing all contaacts
i finally resolved this and posting back on the thread i read bb lee post.
that is what i did.
if you do advanced config there is an option use X number of trailing numbers to identify numbers i have set this to 10 this will then recognise regardless of +44 or 0.
anyone else try this and let me know if it resolves yours too.

Hey
I recently bought a HTC TD2. I have one major problem though. When someone calls/sends a sms the phone only displays the number not the name, even though the contacts are saved to the phone.
It happens with at least 7 different contacts.
(I've searched but can't find a solution that has actually been successful)
Could anyone provide some assistance?
Thank you
im having the same issue on my compact V. The numbers are stored in the SIM and in the contacts but it still fails to recognise.
Forget it man, I have the same problem and did everything possible to solve but couldn't. I changed the caller ID match values, the contacts memory, contacts format, and deleted the contact and recreated it again with no hope....now I'm waiting the technical support of HTC
Same issue here... Hard reset solved problem...
I'm having same issue for some of my contacts.
Yes hard reset and add the contact one-by-one solved the problem, but it happened again when I restored all the contact lists from my backup, even the backup was created (I think) before this problem happened.
So maybe something with the list of my contact, either they were not saved in the same format or they were inconsistently saved with only <firstname>, only <lastname> or <firstname lastname>.
Still investigating.... I've tried to increase my registry key "CallIDMatch" from 8 to 12 and will see...
Had the same issue. HTC tech support didn't know how to fix this, so the last resort was hard reset... and it fixed it.
Try one of two things -
(a) Check if you have multiple entries, I had discovered that multiple entries (of numbers and not names) had caused this before;
(b) Check to see if the mobile number is stored under "Mobile" and not some other entry. It does appear that entering the mobile number and storing it under "Work", for example, might cause this.
Hi,
using Windows Mobile 6.1, SMS list shows the time for SMS reveived today but only date for older SMS.
1- Is there any way to SHOW the time for older SMS?
2- If there's no way to show it, is there at least a way to KNOW this time?!
It seems an incredible lack to miss an option to show SMS details including timestamp and also the EXACT used number (because some contacts may have many numbers and the SMS thread only shows the contact name!)
Pleas Help!
Thanks in advance.
BTW: I found at least three threads about this issue in xda-developers forums but none of them gives a solution!
Try copying the sms in question to sim...
When viewing your SMS, on top of the screen you have the name of the contact, just go up to see the date and time.
No clue for exact number instead of the contact's name.
