Contact Display

I am new to BB. i have been using my curve 9300 since 2 weeks. i am having trouble with contact display. when somebody calls me my bb does not display his name. it only shows the calling #. but in log it shows complete name as saved in contact. any body know what this is all about n how to solve it.

There could be any one of four solutions... Try these:
1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
Set your Country Code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your local area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
OS5 devices: Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.
OS6 devices: Homescreen > Options > Security > Encryption > UNcheck the box next to Encrypt.
4. Go to Options on your device > Security Options > Encryption > Include contacts set to "No"

  • Has anyone had a problem with their contact display on messages?

    I have turned off other contact groups, but when texting I get all groups displayed when I search for names. Not only this, some of them seem to have downloaded name info from sender! I also now get some email contacts displayed in text name line. Very odd! Never had this problem before update.
    I can't seem to find a way to switch this off. Somehow seems to be an iCloud mess up.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit, IE8, Dreamweaver CS4 and all is fine and identical to how it was under Vista 64.
    So whatever the issue is, it's probably resolvable.

  • Contacts Display Order bug

    From iOS 4.0.1 to 4.2 GM is problem with display order (contacts). When I restore new firmware on iPhone (3GS, 4) and I set in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars > Contacts Display Order > Last, First and I go to Phone>Contacts, Contacts still are displayed in First,Last format. To resolve this problem I have to go to background and close "Phone" and when I go to Phone again contacts are displayed correct. Sorry for my English I am from Poland.

    Using your "edit" feature you should have no problems in listing your phone numbers in the order you choose. For example, all of my contacts have "home" listed first,followed by "mobile", etc.

  • Contact display name problem

    Since upgrading to ML I'm having a problem with contact display names in Mail. When I go to compose an email, some contacts have a problem. EG for "John Smith" email [email protected], I type in smith and autocomplete. But Mail displays "[email protected] Smith" as the name. When I look in Address Book the contact card for John Smith is formatted properly. Any ideas?

    2100 SMS messages is a lot ! On a Series 40 phone you will be lucky if you get more than 400 messages in your inbox.
    I think you should ask your question in the smartphone discussion /discussions/board?board.id=smartphones as the behavoir you describe is something not seen on normal (S40) Nokia phones.
    Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

  • Contacts display first name, last name, except if there's email address then contact info is deleted (?) and email is displayed in contact list.

    Confused on these procedures to post.
    My contacts should list first name last name, however any contact with an email has info phone numbers and addresses deleted and the email address is displayed in contact list. I know how to change to last name first name but that doesn't help... Any suggestions? Should I delete all contacts and reacquire all through icloud? How?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Outlook 2007 Contact Display

    I have recently noticed that Outlook is not showing address info on a single contact card display. The data is still there as it shows up on mass display of contacts. Any solution/reason for this anomaly??

    Hi,
    Would you please explain the meaning of "a single contact card display" and "mass display of contacts" so that we can fix the issue more efficiently?
    Meanwhile, we may try to exit Outlook and then restart with /cleanviews switch to see the result. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook /cleanviews and press Enter.
    Please let me now the result.

  • Help - Ipod - Contact Display??

  • Contacts Display and Sort by Company Name

    I have over 1000 contacts in Outlook which synced wonderfully with my new iPhone.
    Alas, I need to lookup and sort by Company Name. This is a VERY standard method for contacts. The options presented by iphone are first and last name, sigh and tech support had no suggestions and the helpful tech support genttleman could find no 3rd party applications which could help.
    Help!
    I relly like my iPhone, but I need to be able to look up contacts and notes by company.
    Thanks

    I have noticed something useful when entering contacts directly into my iPhone. When entering a contact that I want shown in the list by the company name, I enter the company name first (without entering the "first name" and "last name") and save it. If you do it that way, the little square where the photo would be will change from the blank head to some buildings, and the contact will be listed by the company name. You can then go back and edit to add a first and last name and it will stay listed by company name.
    However, if you enter the last name, first name, and company name all at the same time it will list the entry by the "last name" instead of by the company.
    For example, if I want my son's doctor's office to display as "Arizona Pediatrics" instead of "Dr. John Smith" in the contact list, I would enter the Arizona Pediatrics first, save, and then go back in and add the Dr. John Smith in the last name, first name fields.
    I need to check the manual to see if this is detailed, as I stumbled on it accidentaly, but it's pretty useful.

  • Message Contact Display

    How do I get messages to display contact names instead of phone numbers?

    Hi,
    In the "To" spot you can start typing a Name.
    It will pull info from the Contacts list and any Buddy list (Screen names or Jabber IDs that are not in the Contacts list).
    You will then get the option to select the piece of info to use such as the Apple ID or iPhone Number (Or any AIM or Jabber name linked on that Address Card.
    It will think any phone number is an iMessage potential
    (the list is so long as I have three Macs and keep an Address Card for each on this Mac with different Accounts listed for "myself" hence the Ralph G4 and Ralph MacBook Pro as wel as those listed for Ralph Johns)

  • Photos in contacts display differently when incoming call

    G'day people
    Most of my contacts in the Address Book have photos and, of course, they imported together with other contact details when I plugged my iPhone into my iMac. However, what's strange is that some photos display full screen when that contact calls me and other photos just display a small picture next to the contact's name. Anybody have any idea why?
    I notice that if I take a photo on the iPhone and assign it to a contact, that photo will always display full screen.
    Cheers
    Al

    Yes, that's what I thought as well. However, there are pictures that I assigned to contact on the computer that display full screen when that contact calls as well as full screen for those contacts where I took the and assigned the photos on the iPhone itself.

  • Iphone4,upgrade to IOS7.1.2. Photos associated with contacts display as thumnails when receiving calls. How do I change to full photo?l

    IPhone4 Upgraded to IOS 7.1.2. Photos associated with Contacts now display as thumbnail pictures when receiving calls . How do I enlarge display.

    You weren't the only one that wanted the full screen photos back. There were a lot of complaints and they are back in iOS 8 but that doesn't help you with iOS 7.1.2 unfortunately.

  • IPhone Contacts displaying some addresses incorrectly?

    Just noticed this but with some addresses both my iPhone and iPad are displaying them incorrectly, despite them looking fine on the MacBook.
    Many addresses I have for contact are long, not everyone's address fits the one box / one entry option (e.g. street, town, postcode, state etc).
    Up until the latest update to 7.1.2 it was working OK, I think.  At least it was working well earlier this year, quite when this bug developed I don't know.
    As an example, in some addresses, because they are so long I have to type in 'Street'
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
    Line 4
    This then displays correctly on the Mac as
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
    Line 4
    Town
    Postcode
    State (or whatever)
    Country
    However, on the iPhone and iPad it displays as
    Line 2
    Line 3
    Line 4
    Line 1
    Town
    Postcode
    State
    Country
    If I delete Line 1 from the address it then becomes
    Line 3
    Line 4
    Line 2
    Town
    Postcode
    State
    Country
    The only way I can get the address to display correctly on the iPhone/iPad is by typing:
    Line 2
    Line 3
    Line 4
    Line 1
    Town
    Postcode
    State
    Country
    Which then of course screws the display up on the Mac.
    Anyone else encountered this or a fix?  As with any updates of late it seems 1 step forward, 2 back.
    I've already submitted a bug report to Apple.

    I thought I was having this same problem. But the addresses only seemed to be missing, but just were not showing.
    Contacts that have both "on my Mac" and iCloud cards were showing no addresses on my iPhone. When I deleted the "on my Mac" card, the addresses appeared on my phone.

  • Contacts: Display "Name, first name"

    Need your help dear BB Z10 community!
    Does any one know if there is the possibility within the contacts to display "Name, first name" (and not to sort!) like on the old beloved BB 9900? 
    How to sort is clear to me, but I would like, within the sort's result, to display first the name and then the rated first name, separated by a comma.
    Any advise and help would be very much appreciated!
    I just hope not to receiving a response from BB "we cannot do"! It seems to me that BB has not taken over the really professional business features on the Z10, which we daily badly need... at least up to now.

  • When deleting a company & associated contacts, display the contacts - Contact Manager

    When I delete a company & associated contacts, how would you display the contacts below the compny that I want to delete?
    When I put this code in the Delete link it displays the active company I want to delete but not the associated contacts.
    /ConManage/company/delete.php?id_com=
    Then when I put the following in it gives me an error.
    /ConManage/company/delete.php?id_com=
    It seems like this would be the way to do but it gives me an error.
    Any help would be great...
    Bisser

    This is the code that currrently triggers the delete company and all associated contacts and sends you to the delete.php page for confirmation. That is where I would like to see the associated contacts listed with the company.
    href="/ConManage/company/delete.php?id_com="> Delete
    I am wanting to add a repeat region to the delete.php file to show the clients associated to the company. I thought I would need to also echo the contacts in this line of code. Then I think I will need a filtered recordset for the delete.php file.
    Any thoughts on this?
