Why are my Text Contacts and incoming calls only are showing as "Message Received"

All of my text contacts messages just say "Message Received", but if I have set a ringtone for them, that is the ringtone that plays. The same is true of incoming calls, It will show the phone number, but not the assigned name. I don't know everyone's phone number! I barely remember mine!
HELP?? Please ?!
How do I get my caller ID to work properly again?
I have a Galaxy S3
Thanks

Hey there, celtmaidn! Thank you for bringing this matter to the community. I'm sorry that your Caller ID isn't providing you with the details you need, but I'm happy to help. If I understand correctly, incoming calls and messages do not display the name of any of your calls or messages, just the number. Does the same occur on your outbound calls and/or messages? Also, you may have a contact (example: Dave) that you have programmed in your S III with a mobile number, but "Dave" may have a home number as well. Have you confirmed that the number used for that call or message is the same one you have programmed into your device?

Way to disable vibrate for a specific contact's incoming calls only?

My iPhone is not jailbroken, so I am unable to use iBlacklist to black or ignore incoming calls. So instead I've edited the contact in question to have a silent ringtone.
However, in general I prefer to have both ring and vibration on for all incoming calls, since I'm often in loud areas where I can't hear the ringtone.
But the reason that I want to block this particular contact is because it calls me at all sorts of weird hours, thus the vibration wakes me up. So not being able to disable vibration for this contact in addition to the ringtone is a problem for me.
Is there any way that I can not only make the ringtone silent, but also disable vibration for this specific contact - and only this contact? Perhaps some app, or a setting that I'm unaware of?

Check with your carrier. Many have the ability to block calls from certain numbers. Many do have a cost associated with them though.

Why am I seeing outgoing and incoming text from another phone number that is on my plan?

That is why. If you take the time to go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. Then uncheck everything but the phone number for each particular device, you should be alright after that.

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I n

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

Blocking incoming calls that are not in my phone b...

i recently tried blocking incoming calls that are not in my phone book and the result was that my pin code has been blocked. does any one have an idea of how i should go about it?

That depends which phone he/she is using... this is in the phones section, not the smartphones, so I had assumed that software such as that would not be appropriate lol

Droid 2 Global Issues - notif. bar and incoming calls

Ok, I've had my Droid 2 Global for about a year now, and for the most part it has been fine. However, on the latest couple of updates, some really annoying "features" have come up. On the current update, the notification bar disappears randomly. Not known cause. Also, if the notification bar disappears, when I receive and incoming call, it doesn't display the "answer call" screen, showing the contact. This makes it difficult to answer the call, especially when the screen is locked. I have to go unlock the screen, and go to a screen like I'm going to call someone, and THEN I can see who is calling and maybe answer. If it hasn't gone to VM already. This is really stupid - first and foremost, this thing is a FREAKING PHONE. I should be able to answer a call.
Frustrated. Any ideas/help?
Thanks,

TS4062 we have 2 different iphones. When we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together.

we have 2 different iphones 4 and iphone 4s. Why when we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together?

Well are you syncing them with the same acount? Are you syncing them to the same source? If you are both syncing the iCal on the same computer then you are going to end up sharing all the entries. You need two differnt AppleId's and user ID on the comuter you are syncing to if you want everything to stay seperate.

When I have my handsfree plugged in, the sms-tone and incoming-call ringtone is only played in my earpluggs. Any suggestions anyone?

When I have my handsfree plugged in, the sms-tone and incoming-call ringtone is only played in my earpluggs. Any suggestions anyone?

I experience the same problem and it's extremely annoying. Have you found a solution yet?
Of course one might want to keep the earphones plugged in most of the time (if this is the way you prefer to answer you calls + talk on the phone) even if you're not using the phone/earphones. The ringtone does come through to to the speaker when someone calls… yet the sms signal DOES NOT and only plays in the earphones.
This means that the earphones must be unplugged after every call and then plugged in again before every call in order not to miss any sms:es! (Talk about unsafe driving e.g.!)
It would seem to be such an obvious setting/option to include in the iPhones settings. Why has Apple has completely missed this!? .... or is there a solution?
I have searched the internet but haven't found a solution?

I've installed ios 7.0.6 on my iphone 4 and lost voice on outgoing and incoming calls. My simm is ok, i've checked it, I've done a full clean and restore. Still no calls. Please help.

Hi there,
I've just installed ios 7.0.6 on my iphone 4 and now lost voice on outgoing and incoming calls.It rings on incoming and I'm told rings on the recipient's 'phone, but then no vocal communication...its just dead. My simm is ok, i've checked it, I've done a full clean and restore of the 'phone. Still no calls.
I've not caused any physical or water damage to the 'phone. I would welcome any help/suggestions to get my calls back asap.
Please help.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

My incoming calls aren't showing up on my screen and I can't hear any of my alerts, notifications, etc. what's up???

My incoming calls aren't showing up on my screen and I can't hear any of my alerts, notifications, etc. What's up???

This is probably some corruption in the settings file that stores the on-screen position of the Firefox window. Could you try the steps in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen]. Any luck?

I am now in France, and my iphone will not audibly ring. I can set the volume. I can select a ring tone, and the test works fine. I can turn on/off the vibrate, but incoming calls only vibrate.

My iPhone does not ring on any signals. The incoming calls only vibrate.

What have you done to troubleshoot thus far? Restart, reset, restore?

TS3899 the text of my incoming emails is not showing on the screen. I must have pushed some setting change but I can't figure it out. Thanks...M

the text of my incoming emails is not showing when I tap the message. I probably changed some setting by mistake but I don't know what i did. would like to be able to read my emails on the screen. the 2 line starting area shows fine.

browsing around internet found others have had this problem and recommended turn off/turn on phone, which I did, and that fixed it. at least for now. thanks...

N95 - 8GB , During incoming call it will show the ...

When incoming call it will show the contact name and also the contact number which is harm to the privacy of the contact numbers also...
So please some one tell me how to avoid this problem , otherwise everybody around me will come to know all my contact numbers without go to the phone book during a call......

I dont really see how everybody around you could see the numbers. This was done to show you who was calling and from what phone number you have saved. This is the built in caller ID, and no amount of resetting will fix this to my knowledge.
For the people around you to see, Its pretty gross and unusual for people to look at your phone and try to memorize the small font numbers. You arent giving them enough time. 2 secs flat when you look at the phone, slide it open and put on your ear isnt enough for people to view and memorize 8-12 digit numbers.
