IPhone :: Contact Name Not Displaying With Incoming Text On 4S
Apr 20, 2012
I just got my iPhone 4S I have saved people to my contacts but when I recieve a text message from them it does not show me their name, just their number..
When I go into the text messages app, it only shows the current day's messages and the time that I received them. No contact name, no number. I've played around with it a bit, but cant figure out where to even begin addressing this.
I recently switched out my Curve 9350 under warranty, since the old one was overheating and draining the battery. The first one I had didn't have this issue, from the get-go it showed contact names, pictures, and broke the messages down into days, but I could scroll and view all of them. My new one has only shown my text messages in the way I described above.
My contacts' telephone numbers are not saved with the international dialing code. However incoming texts from my contacts come with international dialing code and therefore the contact's name do not appear on the text.
A couple of weeks ago I changed the default ringtone for my incoming text messages. It would work for some contacts but not others so I changed it on the individual contacts by going into their information. I have now tried changing it again but it does not work on one of my contacts. Text messages from other individuals work fine but the one I'm having problems with will only vibrate not ring. I've changed it in the default, I've changed it in their individual account info -- but nothing.
htc one x att when you have a contact that has multiple entries such as example john and in it you have mobile number and house number. When you receive a call from John it does not specify from which type it comes through, it just says john and the number and not mobile or home or whatever description you gave the number. This is a really annoying issue. I have had quite a few smartphones and they all had that feature.
My iphone 4 no longer has the edit facility when displaying contact details, thus preventing any updates. Phone has latest software and has never been jailbroken.
I have just received a new company car where I divert my Bold 9700 via bluetooth to the in car phone.All my incoming calls show the telephone number, not the name of the caller and they are all in my contacts folder in the blackberry and also in the car unit.What do I need to change in the blackberry to instruct it to show the caller's name?
I have an unlocked US variant S6 SM-G920T with Baseband (G920TUEU3COK1). I have been using it on Tmobile without issues since Cyber Monday.
But now, randomly, when I get a phone call from a contact that is already in the phone, I see the number on the display rather than the contact name. After I either answer or reject or allow to go to voicemail, and then go look at the call log, the contact name is displayed. This is getting annoying as I keep ignoring calls that I would like to take ( and sometimes need to take).
Only thing I've tried is to clear data and clear cache in the contacts app. Phone is not rooted...
I've just purchased the new Samsung galaxy S6. I'd like to know how you can display the picture of an incoming caller on the screen? I was able to associate an image in the contacts list but for some reason, when that person calls me, their picture doesn't show on the screen. On the IPHONE it shows a full screen image of the person calling.
After certain time in the phone all incoming calls show the same number in caller ID.The number that is shown will be the last call received before the problem starts.The call log shows the correct number but when call is received the same number is shown.This continues till the phone is reset. But it reverts back to the same issue after some time.I thought this was a problem with the phone and changed Handset and SIM card also, but still the problem came back after a couple of months. My service provider is not able to help me. I tried updating the software in the old phone but still the problem was there.This is driving me crazy since there are many calls I dont want to attend.
whenever I receive an incoming call, it only shows 'unknown number' even the caller is actually in my contacts and in my call log also shows unknown number. I have no clue who is calling and I've done setting the country code and content protection for 'include contacts' to no.
My satio is not displaying any name or number during an incoming call.it display as '"call" calling'.even for the saved contact number also.if i go check in the call log list it display as "no number".I am not able to make out who is calling, atleast it should display the number for new incoming numbers , for saved contacts and for new unsaved numbers its displaying same thing "call", its gone crazy.please anyone help me to solve this problem.
Just about a week ago, my phone started to act up by not showing the option to answer or ignore incoming calls. I've tried restarting the phone and messing with setting but nothing.
I've been using using my E51 for about 2 years, and it suddenly stopped displaying the contact names for SMS messages.There are no duplicates in the contact list.The thing is, it's started when I synced my phone with Ovi online.Could anybody find a solution for this ?It's quite annoying not having the names of the contacts
I've filled in the contact details of people on my phone, but when i select someone to call it says below "no details" below thier picture . How do i get the details to display ?
Every time I get a new SMS from someone on my contact list, and try to view their SMS it only shows the number of the person and not the name on the SMS list. When I search for the person on my list, and sms him/her it redirects to the conversation, but with the updated name instead of the number. However as soon as I get a new SMS it only shows the number once again.
Many names in the address book not showing up. Hence, when I get a call or make one, the name doesn't come up with the number. After the call, the number with the name is visible in call log as outgoing or incoming or missed. In the database details it shows my address book having 238 numbers (these are the numbers currently visible). So how is it that the names are visible in the log and not in the address book and also not visible during a call.
After updating my Neo V to 4.1.B.0.431, contact image in the call screen is very unclear and it's displaying as mixture of pixles. I dint face this on 2.3.4
does OS7 have an option for displaying a screen full of contact photos that you can select to dial the person? I've had this on other smartphones but can't see how to do it on my OS7 torch.It's like speed dial with pictures.
My 4 day old N97 Mini stopped displaying new text message notifications on the screen and alerting me via a tone or vibration.Before posting I read this forum and other independent forums and did the following:
Checked firmware for phone - was up to date
Checked message tone was active in profiles - was active
Deleted all messages in inbox/drafts/sent - fixed issue had 41 messages total in these 3 folders.
I can't understand this error, I had an iPhone 3G before coming back to Nokia (N97 mini OS served a better purpose) I could store literally 100's of texts and never had a problem, If I can't have more than 40 texts in my folders without the alert turning itself off..Then the phone is useless.... I could have a text sitting there for hours without knowing.I have read other threads that have been marked as SOLVED but without an explanation of why this happens how is it solved if it keeps happening to people? It may have returned the message alert and tone... but if there is a bug it shouldnt me marked as solved..
