Can't see names when receive calls/texts!

heya. hope someone can help.
i have a nokia 7370, and about 3 months ago it froze up, the screen went white and i had to turn it off and on again. it did this for a few hours. I deleted my inbox (which was full) and it seemed to work again. I assumed it'd just been freezing up due to no memory.
however,the phonebook now only displays names beginning with 'A' unless i start to type the name (i.e. if i start to type a name beginning with 'M' and then delete the 'M' i can view the entire phone book.). In this format I can view the name and number.
but when i receive a phone call or text message, it only shows the number and not the name. if i send a text, by 'adding contact' I can choose a name from the phonebook and this works fine.
if I look through my call log, some of the logs have a name, others are number only.
each number in my phonebook is used only once. I've tried changing the memory in use to every alternative. I've gone through every option on my phone but can't work out how to fix it.
does anyone have any ideas, please?

help! my phone keeps breaking more and more every few days. i think it's corrupted.
now it doesn't make any noise when the swivel opens or closes (and it's not on silent) and the alarm doesn't make any noise either.

  • I am having multiple problems with my iphone 4s, people can't hear me when I call, text messages don't always send, calls go straight to voice mail. I have all bars, have hard rest 3 times. I have called apple 4 times and gone to a store. No help.

    I have had the 3g, 3gs, 4 and little if any problems. I made a major mistake buying the 4s. What a horrible phone. I must say, apple service is at best, BAD. Here are the basics. I am on the same network, I call the same people, I use the same text messages as I did with the 4. With the 4s, I will call someone and they will not be able to hear me. I have to hang up and recall. Or the phone just does nothing when I press call. Text messages acts like they send but when I go back the have been sent. Sometimes the calls go direct to voice mail.
    Here's what I have done. Reset, did not help. Called apple, advisor said she would call me back in 5 minutes, after waiting for 5 days for the call, I recalled, they walked me through the same things I had already done, then said to take it to a store. So they set up an appointment for the only day I could get to it, 1 1/2 hours away, on my grand son's birthday. That was okay if they fixed it. So they hard reset it, we had to setup 4 email accounts, they would not allow me to restore because they said it was a software problem. So I had to download all the apps, lost a lot of data. No fun. But if it worked! So Monday back at work, guess what, same thing. When home and did another hard reset. Still no lick. Called apple again. They said they would replace my phone, all they needed was to put a hold on a credit card for $899 or drive a 1 1/2 hours to a store.
    So anyone know a good andriod phone.
    PS I got a email asking about the service each time and each time I told them what a horrible phone it was and how bad service was. I have yet to hear back. I guess they do not read them!

    You're not speaking to Apple on in this forum, nor will someone from Apple see this post.   We are just users like you and I.
    Have you tried to restore or reset your phone?
    Or contact your carrier in re: to your sim card

  • Displaying Senders name when receiving a text mess...

    Hiya,
    Not sure if there is an app or a way of doing this - but can you download something for the N96 that when you get a text message come through, instead of it just saying "1 New Message" it'll say "1 New Message from x" where x is the senders name?
    Just a little tweak really that'll be nice I suppose! Tried searching for a similar question on here, and there may well be one but I didn't get through all the pages...
    Thanks for help!

    Psycho, once again you amaze me. How do you find out about all these little applications that I've never even heard off? Must get you to send me a list of applications you have and what they are for.

  • Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

    Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

    -I have tried using *228 to update.
    You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through.  The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card. 
    Try this and see if it helps:  turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes.  Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.

  • After upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

    after upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

    This started happening to me on my iPhone 4. Some text messages show only the numer they came from and those same numbers do not show the contact name in my calls list, even though the contacts are saved and synced via iCloud. I have tried to save different versions of the number in the same contact, but it won't work. If I call one of the recent numbers though, the conact comes up. I have tried reseting and restoring to no avail.

  • Straight Talk iPhone 5 can't receive calls/texts

    iPhone 5 can't call/text or receive calls/texts. Straight talk is my carrier. I have had the phone since Christmas. It has worked perfectly all of this time. On June 27, I came home and the problems started. Can't call/text receive calls/texts. Can't get on the internet unless I connect to my router. Called straight talk and they rudely told me to just go outside when I wanted to make a call or text. Problems began to escalate. Phone wouldn't work outside my house or on my porch. It only works when I go very far from my house and even then it is testy. Now it won't connect to my router unless I'm right next to it. Called apple today and the support person had me update Network Settings. It worked! So excited, was able to make calls and text. Told the lady thank you and was thrilled that all seemed to be fixed. Set my phone down and came back to it in about five minutes. Guess what. It was having the same old problems again. Don't know what else to do. If I don't get any answers here. I suppose I'll call apple again. Hoping someone here is having the same problems and knows what is going on. Also, does anyone know what tower iPhone 5 uses with Straight Talk? I've heard it's Verizon, but I've also heard it's AT&T. Any help would be soooo much appreciated!

    There might be another carrier fix.
    You can go to Settings>General>About
    Wait a few seconds and if there is a new carrier push, a prompt will show asking to update carrier settings
    Also you might want to check these out as well.

  • No or low sound when receiving a text. Volume is fine for incoming phone calls.

  • Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

    Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.

    I can't hear anything when making calls no dailing tone or anything but when I try and audioface time it works fine please help

    Hi Nfrith1,
    Please take a look at the article referenced below, the same as in my original reply.  The receiver on the iPhone does not have anything to do with the speakers on the bottom of the phone nor your microphone.
    Clear the receiver
    The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
    If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
    Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
    While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
    Restart and update
    Restart your iPhone and test again.
    If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.
    Get more help
    If you've tried these steps and there's still no sound or poor sound quality from your iPhone, contact Apple Support.
    Learn what to do if other people can't hear you on a call.
    If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone

  • Is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?

    Is my name even sent when I send text messages?  If so, is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?  When sending a text message, I would like to only display my phone number.

    is it possible for the sender not to have my name in there contacts... and just typed my number?..
    It is possible for the recipent not to have your name for your number in their address book for your contact info, but the recipent must do that.
    So does that mean just my number will show when i send a text to the person using an android  phone?
    If the recipient does not have your name with your phone number in their address book for your contact info.
    Have you ever received a text from a phone number that is not in your address book? If so, what do you see? You should see the phone number only. The same applies for someone you are sending a text to.

  • My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

    My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

    Depending on your carrier, you may be able to see recent calls by logging into your account on the carrier's web site, if they offer such a feature, though incoming calls being shown is not usual. There will, as diesel said, be no way to see messages already received, either SMS/MMS or iMessages, without having the phone.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to have iphone 4 blink when receiving a text message?

    I just switched over to iphone4 from a blackberry and wanted to know if there is a setting that allows the iphone to blink red or green when receiving a text message, much like the blackberry does. my phone is on silent and, without a function like this, i am unable to tell when i am receiving a text message. if there are any other things that would allow for notification as well, please let me know! also, is there a text message icon that can appear at the top of the phone, like the lock icon? thanks a lot!
