IPhone :: Why Do Some Texts Not Identify The Sender Although They Are In Contacts
Mar 13, 2012
Not sure if this issue is related, but I changed my apple ID password yesterday, and this morning, my Iphone asked for my password before I could read an incoming text from a contact that is already stored in my iphone. And since then, text messages from some of my contacts, when I look in the "messages" identify the incoming message's sender not by their appropriate contact name I have stored in my iphone for them, but instead identifies them as " +1 and the phone number of that contact." For example if I have a friend stored as Susan in my contacts, but for some reason when I send a text or receive one from that contact, it doesn't identfy the sender as Susan but lists her number with a " +1 " before it (the number isn't stored with a +1 in my contacts).
I just bought The Blackberry Bold, but when I get texts from contacts in my address book, it doesn't identify them by name, just by phone number. This was never a problem with my old Curve. Is there way to fix/adjust this?
Is there a way to sort my sms / mms texts by the sender? For example: I receive 3 messages from Jane & send 1 back. I receive 2 from John & send 2 back. How can I put them all in specific groups so that I see a folder for Jane's & John's texts separately?
On my new HTC One M8 (AT&T) when I receive a call from a blocked number it comes up Private Number in the stock android phone app, even though I have that number identified in my stock Android Contacts app. When this happened on my old HTC One V (Virgin Mobile), it identified it using the Contacts app. Any way to get it to identify it on the M8, without having to switch to a different set of apps?
I've tried all over the Internet, my network provider and work colleagues but I'm have an annoying problem with my iPhone 3GS.
Out of all my contacts in my phone book everyone works ok apart from only 2! The 2 can receive my texts and my calls but the "Cannot" reply to me as if the call the get "Call Failed" and the texts send from their phone but I don't receive them.
I've deleted and re-entered the contacts (They have done the same)......I have done a "Complete Factory Reset" of my iPhone but the problem still persists with these 2 contacts only.
I have not blocked them..(Don't know how to) & I don't have any "Blocker Apps) on my phone but the problem still won't go away.
I used to have an old LG flip-phone and an iPod Touch. I lost the iPod Touch about six months ago. This week I got my iPhone. I had to go to the Verizon store to have them take all the contacts off the LG phone and put them onto my iPod.Â
I had painstakingly pared down my iTunes music library to choice selection of checked items that were small enough to fit on the iPod touch. I didn't want to go through that process again, so I hooked my iPhone up to my computer for the first time, opened iTunes, and synced with the iPod touch backup on my computer. It would have been smart to have backed up the iPhone first, but I didn't. Since I couldn't text with the iPod Touch, it didn't occur to me that the existing texts on my iPhone would be overwritten.Â
Now all the media files and apps from my old iPod Touch are on my new iPhone 5. The new iPhone apps I downloaded yesterday are on there, too. But the contacts and texts have vanished.Â
To review: no iTunes backup of iPhone data. No iCloud backup, either-- I've never used iCloud before.Â
I downloaded Wondershare's iPhone Data Recovery program and used it to scan data on the device. The scan shows 0 contacts and only the 2 text messages that I've received this evening. Curiously, it does have my entire call history from the last week.Â
So is there any way to recover the texts from this last week?
I got my phone as a present and i want to find out whether its a factory unlock or not..is there any way to determine or a code or something to indicate that its a factory unlock phone?
How can I check if the iPhone 4S that I want to buy is factory unlock?the seller told that the iPhone is from Los Angels and is new in the box.He said that I can came to his house and connect & activate the iPhone via iTunes with my sim.Can I check trough iTunes if the iPhone is factory unlock?
I have an iPhone 5. For some reason, it is not able to identify my SIM card. It just shows No SIM. I've tried everything. My SIM card works in other phones, and I've also put 2 other different nano SIM cards in my iPhone and they work!
This is very strange since my SIM is working on other phones (haven't tried it in an iPhone, though) and others SIM cards are working on my iPhone. I can't figure out if the problem is in my iPhone or in my SIM card. I used iTunes and I restored the iPhone but now it's not setting up because iPhone needs a SIM card to set up. What to do?
Apple has changed their 30-pin USB connector in the past from round to square and also changed the connector plastic from dark gray to light gray.[URL]
One of my contact has two mobile numbers (say, 1234 and 6789). Both are stored in contact as "mobile". When he rign me up, or if I'm not able to pick up the call I see the missed call from him. It just shows "mobile" (his name is there). Is there a way to identify which was the number he rang me from (is it from 1234 or 6789)? I cannot store this number as other than "mobile" as all other fields are already occupied.
I just both a new iPhone 6 and surprise, I do not find the way to identify the incoming calls by a different ringtone.This possibility was very available on iPhone 4S my last.
I have an Iphone 4s and it is unjailbroken or unlocked etc just normal iphone, it started last night when it started being unable to identify any servers on my emails facebook twitter yahoo google etc etc, then facebook and twitter would open but not load any pages and there would be a "network" issue. Now in the morning it won't any webpages at all and still wont load facebook or any videos or pictures and also this morning a new problem has started where my phone will send a message but it will immediately disappear and I cant see it anymore
Two of my contacts suddenly don't appear on my text list. I have to look at their profile on search people to see the texts. I rang HTC who said to try a softer reset, not worked!
My iPhone won't let me send texts to someone who used to have an iPhone but doesn't anymore. I can receive texts from them but can't send them texts. Says its an invalid number.
