N95-2 doesn't display contact name in imported SMS...

Hi all,
I just imported all my SMSes from my old 6230 to my N95-2. I did it via Nokia Content Copier v3 (supplied with the N95). Backed up the 6230 and restored it to the N95 (contacts, calendars and messages only). To my surprise, the N95 doesn't display the contact name in the imported SMSes while the numbers are also saved in Contacts.
How can I solve this? Does anybody else have any experience in transferring SMSes from their old phone to N95? My old messages, contacts etc are still saved in 6230 just in case I need to redo the whole process again.
Thanks in advance!

the problem lies with your copying of the contacts
When you copied them over you may have added duplicates, if there is a duplicate in the contacts of a number the phone will not display a name as it will be confused.
You will need to go through the contacts and delete any that have duplicate numbers.
This should solve your issue

  • E51 doesn't display contact names (no duplicates)

    Hi y'all,
    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 ...

    well it has to be the names the phone can only identify one number to a name so you will have to make new names for the contacts ie john and john 1 and stored seperatly,you need to check for duplicate contacts again and what memory your using your phone book in either the phone or sim memory

  • The Video app in OS7 update doesn't display file names.

    The Video app in OS7 doesn't display file names under the image.
    How can I identify my video files without having to open each file to access the file name.
    Is there something I am missing or is this just an omission in the OS7 upgrade.
    I am a music teacher and this lack of file names makes the app virtually useless for use in the classroom.

    Agreed. This has been a problem with TV Shows in the Videos app since forever, but at least it used to put the name under Movies. Now instead fixing it for TV Shows in iOS 7 they've done the opposite and made Movies fail the same way as TV Shows always have!
    Apparently it still lists the title for Home Videos, so the best work around for now is probably to reclassify all your Movies as Home Videos. Sigh.
    Apple's Videos app development team seem to be unaware that iTunes can store and play movies and TV shows that don't come from the iTunes Store, videos that don't have covers, and that need to display the names and other info from iTunes for them. They also seem to not understand that the default grid view for videos is totally inadequate for users with scores or hundreds of movies and TV shows that they home share to their iPads and iPhones from iTunes. The Videos app needs a list view at least, as well as a grid view.
    All they have to do is look at how the Apple TV handles the same files and meta-data from iTunes and provide something similar for the iPad and iPhone. Why after all these years they still don't get that I have no idea.

  • Display contact name

    Hello,
    I have the navigator 6110, and when someone rings it shows thire number, how do i make it display the name in the contact list?
    Thanks

    I finally got around to saving my messages about this from yesterday afternoon - that would be from the SECOND time I posted the answer yesterday. Has the Search function stopped working ..?
    The main reasons for caller ID not working are:
    1. Duplicate entries in contacts - by FAR the most common cause and unfortunately, the most awkward one to fix.
    If the phone finds the same number against more than one name, it doesn't know which to use so, perfectly sensibly, it defaults to showing the number.
    The only way to fix this is to remove duplicates from your contacts. Best way to do this would probably be in Outlook on the PC, but assuming you can't do that, then you have to find the numbers that aren't working a use the LATEST version of the Nokia Search tool to find the duplicate entries:
    NOTE: when you search, use PART of the number to avoid problems with formatting: searching for +441234567890 will NOT find +44 123 456 7890 whereas searching for 789 would.
    2. Using your international dial code instead of '+'
    Not sure if this applies to all phones, but if you store your number using your county's international dial code (eg: 004412345678990 - WRONG) instead of the '+' sign (+4412345678990 - RIGHT), it can cause problems.
    3. "(0)" area code prefixes
    Only a problem if you synch with MS Outlook. When you specify a country in MS Outlook, it will insert "(0)" into your phone number after the country code - while somewhere in Redmond, Bill Gates cackles - so +4412345678990 becomes +44 (0) 12345678990.
    You need to remove the (0).
    4. 9 and 10 digit numbers
    There has been one report of problems with 9 and 10 digit numbers where one size doesn't work with SMS and the other with calls. Not sure that anyone else has ever come across this.

  • SMS and MMS cannot display contact name (E51)

    I try to restore a backup file, from my old 3230 and 6670, via Nokia PC Suite into my newly bought E51, everything work just fine.
    But I noticed that the sender of SMS and MMS in E51 [inbox] only display in number(e.g. '+601********'), instead of sender name as in [contacts](e.g. 'Michael'). Even I select the text message, choose [options] > [Add to Contacts] > [Create New]/[Update existing], it won't work, neither with the country code (+601*******) or without (01********). (note: I'm very sure that phone number is not duplicated in the contact).
    Somehow, a good news is, any sms or mms received from the network provider can display the sender name according to [contacts], and it store as it even after I deleted the saved item in [contact] or rename the entry. Ha ha, a bit complicated compare to the S60v2 phone...
    Anyone have idea on this?

    Hi there,
    my E66 has the exact same problem. IN addition when in coming calls come in, they don't show the contact name. It only shows the number. I think it may hae to do with new contacts added after contacts from your old phone were added. I also notice that my old contacts transferred to the phone doesn't have the extra menu 'syncronisation'.

  • Messages on Mac app not displaying contact name

    On Messages on my Mac, despite being synced up with iCloud, the Messages app does not display the contact names of anyone. It shows their phone numbers or Apple email addresses. Is there any preference I can change to make it show the contact names? If it exists I haven't found it. I also used the app meant to scrub contacts to make the phone number format conform with Apple's standard (xxx) xxx-xxxx please help!

    HI,
    I take it you are no longer on OS X 10.7.2 ?
    The display of Names (and/or Pics) in Buddy Lists and the main Messages window (when in a  Chat)  in Mountain Lion is controlled from the View Menu > Buddy Names.
    To set this choice the window has to be the "Front" one.
    So the Messages window (CMD + 0 in the window Menu) gets brought to the Front when any sort of Text Chat is going On.
    the View Menu > Buddy Names items is selected and navigation to the choice you want.
    Full names is the First name, Last name as seen in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
    Short Names are Nicknames (normally set via Messages) or First name only if no Nickname exists.
    Handle is the Screen Names (If AIM), Jabber ID (If Facebook, GoogleTalk or other Jabber ID) or in the case of iMessages the current contact ID or iPhone number.
    You can do the same to any Buddy list that you also display.
    It can be used in Conjunction with the View Menu > Messages which has options to display Pics, Names or Pics and Names.
    (Names now refers to whatever is set in the "Buddy Names" option).

  • SMS not displaying contacts name

    When I receive SMS phone displays only phone number as messages sender, even though the same phone number is memorized in contacts. I've tried changing settings and message center number, but the problem persists.

    Hmm. You didn't mention if phone calls are okay. If you don't receive calls that often, maybe you may not notice.
    Have you checked for double/duplicate entries? Since you mentioned that pc suite froze during the synchronisation process, it could have duplicated some of your contacts.
    If not, then you might want to try backing up your contacts again using PC Suite's synchronise option or use the Content Copier (Backup) feature before deleting all your contacts. Next, create one contact and have that contact send an SMS to your phone (or you can create a contact of your OWN phone number and send yourself an SMS) to see if the name shows up.
    If the name shows up, try restoring all your contacts to see if it still happens. If yes, then you probably have duplicate entries somewhere.
    Otherwise, you may want to consider a software upgrade using Nokia Software Updater.
    Do remember to backup your phone contents before doing this.
    Alternatively, since you didn't mention your phone model, you might try a hard reset with *#7370# which will wipe out all your phone data and reset your phone back to the factory state, but this only works for specific Symbian OS phones and if you have a S40 phone, this won't be an option.

  • Nokia 5800 does not display contact names

    With some of my contacts an incoming call with a Caller ID does not display the caller's name, although they are in my Contact List and the number is in a valid format.Same is the case for sms's from the same contact.I only have one entry of that contact in my phonebook...Any 1 facing the same issue?

    This is inevitably caused by duplicate entry, (many posts already exist) check settings in options in contacts and make sure memory in use is phone memory. Then you need to go through contacts and make sure you don't have more than one name attached to each number  .

  • Does Not Display contacts name

    Hello,
    Just wondering why on my 6110 when some one in my contacts list sends me an sms it comes up with their mobile number not their name. Only just new and still trying to work out phone.
    Thanks

    G'day all -
    I've got the same problem, sort of. One person in particular has a Vodaphone branded 6234, which insists on sending the number as a fully qualified international, that is, with the +61nnnnnnnnn.
    I imported the contacts from a Sony-Ericsson on my SIM, which worked fine and they seem to have migrated seamlessly into the phone memory (I didn't do it!!!!!), and there are no duplicates. Other numbers show the person's names, but not this number,
    My phone details are:
    V 04.22
    05-11-07
    RM-122
    Nokia 6110 (24.01)
    I've deleted the contact from SIM, re-entered it from the keyboard, copied it to the SIM, all in various combinations -- nothing works. This person/number has NEVER been duplicated (apart from the SIM and phone memory).
    Is this something I have to live with, or is there a fix?
    Gordon.

  • Doesn't display application name

    Hello Mozilla Support
    we have a problem since the inbuilt PDF-viewer came to Firefox. We can't use the inbuilt pdf-application from Firefox, because printing with it is to slow on our system.
    But this feature is not our Problem.
    We just set pdfjs.disable to TRUE and changed the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) to "Always ask". The reader is disabled but now we have a Bug at the point where you choose between download and application. If you choose an application it will open your pdf as always. But after this the Bug happens.
    Firefox =< 18.0.2 does remind the application you have chosen even if you don't activate the "Do this automatically for files...". In the Field "Open with: pdf-viewer" the name (pdf-viewer) is displayed.
    Firefox >= 19.0 the default after you opened an application switches back to "Save File" and the name of the last used application is not shown. If you toggle the "Open with" field and press OK even if there is no application displayed, it will start the last application u used for this file type, but it's not displayed before.
    The bug hinders us to update Firefox. We use Firefox for our users. They don't know where to find the applications and if no application is shown, they will believe none is chosen.
    I hope we find a way to fix this.
    Thanks for helping me.

    The File is just a test pdf file on our Web host. But The Problem is not the file. It's the same if you use this.
    [http://www.einfach-fuer-alle.de/artikel/pdf_barrierefrei/download/pdf_barrierefrei.pdf Random test file].
    Before the update, Firefox also just picks the MIME defaults from "~/.local/share/applications/". After the Update, firefox just don't use this MIME database anymore (i think this is the main problem)
    >>"Have you tried checking the "Do this automatically…" option (FürDateien dieses Typs…), selecting Open With (Öffnen mit) and manually choosing the PDF reader application? Once you do that and click the OK button, you should have a new PDF entry under Options - Applications. "
    There is only one application/pdf entry in the menu. I have tried it but than happens the Display error. We need the Option for our users so they can download and open the file. My Programm is listet in the menu, but if i choose to "allway ask" the Programm is not shown at the "Open with" point.
    The Option "Open with" is selectet BUT it looks like no Programm is chosen(in german "Durchsuchen..."). If i just Press "OK" and don't choose a Programm, it will start the Programm listet in Options - Applications.
    If no Programm is chosen i should normaly get an error ("" can't be chosen" or something like that).
    Hmm PDF-File and PDF-Document can just be a changed name in the firefox description.
