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

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!

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
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

TS2755 Messaging displays contact phone numbers instead of contact names.

My Messaging displays contact phone numbers instead of contact names. This just started happening and I do not recall changing any settings. How do I restore to display contact names again?

Make sure the numbers are assigned to a contact.

After Alcatel OS update from v1.0.1 to v1.1.0.0, the phone doesn`t show phonebook names for incoming/missing calls!

Hi! I have very unpleasant problem with my phones after legal OS update! After Alcatel OT Fire OS update from v1.0.1 to v1.1.0.0, the phone stops to show contacts names and pics for incoming calls and names for missing calls from phonebook. Before update, everything worked just fine! People from Telenor Serbia obviously hadn`t solution for this problem. They send me a request to send them a phones (yes two phones with same problem), but I got a phones back with unsolved problem! Also in the datas about phone, OS, e.t.c, the phone number doesn`t exist any more, just blank field. If means something, the phones are with different hardware revisions, 11 and 12! Any solution for this problem?! Thanks!

TS2755 why is Messages now showing phone numbers instead of contact names. any ideas?

Check to see if you have contacts in your Contacts app. This is something that can happen sometimes, and is usually cured by resetting the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. No data will be lost.

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.

Phone won't show contact name in recents list

Phone won't show contact name while somebody call me, the same is in recent list under number is unknown. I already reset my phone and try to make new contact when somebody called me and it isn't work.

you have entered the number in the wrong format. There should be no zeros. IF you were entering my number then that would be +617 XXXX XXXX with the + being the international dial out code and 61 being the country code 7 the area code without leading zeros and rest being my number.
If someone wanted to call me from insider the country but from another state they would dial 07 XXXX XXXX but the international dialing format would still work. Note that the 0 in the area code is not used in the international dialing format

When I receive text messages, it displays phone number instead of contact name.

I updated to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 over the weekend. Since updating to iOS 5, all of my text messages show up with a phone number listed instead of the contacts name. I checked my contact info and all the contact information is listed and the numbers under the contact are correct. Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you discovered any resolutions?

Following a tip from another poster, I was able to fix the issue (temporarily).
This worked for me on Verizon.
I dialed *228 on my Verizon phone. I pressed "1" to activate it over the air. I then went into task manager and killed all the running apps.. Waited a few minutes.
The next text I got displayed the number correctly!.. Until I rebooted, that is.
Ps. PLEASE, call Apple and speak with a senior engineer on this. They can't fix it if they don't know it's a problem! (800) MY-IPHONE

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?

I have a similar problem. Would be grateful for some much needed help, please...
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).

Phone doesn't display music

I'm currently using Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. I've bought it barely two months ago. All was fine until I manually dragged/dropped some music prom my PC via USB cord. Now whenever I go to the Gallery/Songs it says "No Songs". I have tried everything: restarting the phone, re-inserting the Memory stick, I even tried deleting the folder 'Private' (I've read that doing so may fix the problem, but I ended up with no photos, no themes, no games and, of course, no music). Can anyone help me?! I would appreciate help.
Thanks in advance
