Contact pictures not showing in text-messages section of HUB

I noticed a bug/mistake in the text-messages section in the hub.
When you are writing text message, contact pictures in the top left corner are showing only
for some contacts.
I don't know whats the reason for this.
Does anybody have this issue also - or does anybody know a solution?
Regards Johnny

Hello johnny_1830,
Thanks for your feedback, do these contacts have pictures saved in the contacts profile? Or is the contacts picture linked from a social media account for example Twitter or Facebook?
Thanks.

When using spotlight search on my 5s it will not show past text messages that haven't even been deleted even if I type a specific word that I know is in a message I want to search for. I have message search turned on in the spotlight settings.

When using spotlight search my phone will not show all text messages with a common word even though I have not deleted any messages from my phone and I have the message search turned on in settings under spotlight search. The search only shows the messages that are recent within the past day or so. Why won't it show the other messages when I search for them even using a specific word that I know was in the message I'm searching for.

Hello ChiomaM,
It sounds like you are not getting notifications for new text messages that are coming in, and you must manually check the app. I recommend checking the Notification settings to see if they are configured correctly:
iOS: Understanding notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
iOS apps can provide three types of notifications:
Sounds: An audible alert plays.
Alerts/Banners: An alert or banner appears on the screen.
Badges: An image or number appears on the application icon.
You can view which apps provide notifications and adjust notification settings using Settings > Notification Center. For additional information, refer to the user guide for your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Contact Pictures not displaying in texts...

At some point yesterday my contact pictures has stopped showing up in text messages. They still appear when calls are placed and in the actual contact information, but no longer are in texts. I have restarted my phone and also shut it off for over an hour to try to get them to reload. Any suggestions on how to fix this or why this may have happend. They were there yesterday morning then just stopped showing up...

Thank you for your reply. These were contact pictures that I had specifically gone in and set for contacts (I.E. for my brother there is a picture of my nephew as his contact picture). I had to delete the pictures from the contacts and then just re-assign them, seems to be working perfectly fine now. I'm sure it was just some sort of glitch.

Contact name not displaying for texts/messages, only phone number does

When I turn on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2) in the morning (I shut it off at night), any received text messages (iMessages or standard texts) only show the phone number of the person who sent the text and the standard tone for texts is heard, when it should display the name and play the special text tone I setup on specific contact records. It is not til after I use the Touch ID or enter my passcode that the name of the contact who sent the text displays AND the special text tone for that contact is heard. This not normal behavior. Even upon startup on my former iPhone (5), any texts received displayed the contact name and played the appropriate tone when the phone was turned on during the morning. HELP! I believe this is a bug; but, would like to have this confirmed. If it's a setting or combination of settings that I'm missing in iOS 8.0.2, please let me know.
My contacts have never been stored in iCloud nor do I plan to use iCloud.
Thanks!

Try this: when device is ON remove the battery, wait a minute and turn the battery back to the device.

Contact pictures not showing Pre 2

I have had two Pre 2, and neither of them show the contacts' pictures in either the SMS app or Just Type, not only does it look terrible, but I associate certain images with certain people for speed of recognition. I tried Palm support and got the usual battery pull etc, and I have even run the Doctor, to no avail.
Anyone else with this issue, or a solution? All the pictures are perfect in the contacts app.
Post relates to: Pre 2 p102ueu (Unlocked EU)

I have a similar issue on my Pre 2 in that contact pictures do not appear if you copy the contact onto the Launcher. You just get the default 'moon' icon. Same support path as you revealed no answer other than possible hadware fault. Currently being looked at by thetreoguy who took a copy of my log file, but has thus far not come up with an answer.

Contact names not showing on text or calls - uk iPhone on O2

I know there are numerous threads on this already but all seem to be for US phones mostly on Verizon.
My contacts names in SMS randomly started disappearing. First messages from two people only showed as numbers. Now within two days all texts on show numbers. Some are set with +44 some not. All are in my contacts. I have two contact lists (thanks to not being able to merge my existing MobileMe with existing apple account when upgraded to IOS5 - thanks apple) but this hasn't caused an issue until now. I have tried switching both iCloud and MobileMe contacts off and on - various combinations. Have tried international assist off and on. Have added each number to existing contact and tried setting up as a new contact. Have synced and rest phone. Nothing works.
Any ideas anyone?

After calling Verizon, here is a fix that worked for me.
1.) Look at your contacts information on the iPhone. If your phone numbers are not formatted with the parentheses and dashes, and are just a string of numbers like this: 1234567890, it likely means something went afoul in the initial sync. This is a good indicator that the following will work.
2. BACKUP YOUR IPHONE ON ITUNES before you go any farther. You may eject the iPhone at this point or leave it connected. I left mine connected to my desktop.
3. Then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. You will receive a prompt or two to make certain this is what you want. Proceed.
4. Let the Reset process conclude. It may take a couple minutes or so.
5. You will have to go through the re-activation process afterwards. Slug through it.
6. When all that is finished, reconnect your iPhone (if you disconnected it after backup).
7. When asked, select "Restore iPhone from a Backup". Let the process finish.
8. Now, check your contacts. If instead of seeing a line of numbers for your phone entries, you see a number properly formatted like this: (123) 456-7890, then you have likely solved your problem.
9. Try calling your iPhone from a phone that is in your contacts list and see what happens.
10. If this doesn't work, you will likely have to call Verizon or Apple. The Verizon tech support agent said that the issue has been sent to Apple for resolution. It may be something amiss in the initial install of iOS to the Verizon phones. Who knows, but this is defnitely a software issue of some type.

Pictures not showing up in Messages (Macbook)

When anyone sends me a picture through iMessage, it is not loading on my Macbook. It will display a bubble that says IMG_### (for example, IMG_280). When I click on it the following pops up
Any ideas how to fix this?
I just updated to Yosemite, but it was doing this before I updated also.

I'm having the same issue. I reported it back when Yosemite was in public beta but I figured it may be taken care of with the official release but it hasn't. It's quite annoying since I need to open now my iPhone or iPad to see the picture sent :-( but it seems not everybody is having this problem, I tried sending a picture to a friend and he says it looks fine in his Macbook while in mine shows as IMG_XXXX so hopefully someone can figure it out.
So far I've tracked it down to images sent from iOS Devices, if I send the image from Messages on Yosemite it goes through fine, but I don't know why the other ones don't

Contact names not showing on texts - N95

I have a Nokia n95, on 02. I got it in June of last year, so it's no longer under warranty.
On Friday just gone, for some unknown reason, when i receive a text, it comes up with the number of the person that sent it, starting with +44, despite the fact that that persons number is in my phone book.
it seems to do this intermittently, for example this morning I got three texts from the same friend, one came up with her name, and the other two came up with her number starting in +44.
I did a search online to try and trace the problem, and the only answers that I came up with were duplicate phone entries, which is not the cause. The friend that was texting this morning for example, her numbers been in my phone for as long as I can remember, and I've not added anybody else into my phone book for weeks, and her number or name is not duplicated at al, yet this is happening. the same with my boyfriend, he's away this weekend, and on Friday night we were texting and the problem just started with no traceable reason, yet his phones been in my phone book for years, and I've obviously been texting him for as long as I've had the n95, with no problems. his name or number is not duplicated at all, yet now sometimes his name comes up on texts, and sometimes it's his number.
If anybody has got any ideas at all as to what has caused this and how to fix it, I would be really grateful.
Many thanks,
Hayley

i don't know if both of you my friends are on the same network. but , sometimes this issue comes up when the network has a problem sending the correct phone number.
so, it might not be a phone problem. i've experinced similar problems when my network was maintainence to the system. the problem resolved itself few days later.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

Contact pictures not showing after update...

Just downloaded/installed the update for my 9900 via OTA (7.0.0.585) and when I went through my contact list, I noticed that at least half of them don't have pictures. (which are linked through FB) This was also the case for my BBM contacts. Would this be a glitch after the installation completed? Or is there a fix towards this?
Thanks!

Yeah, that's another way of doing it.
I'm glad things are back to normal again.

On 4s, Contact name not showing up in messages. I see the contacts phone number.

On my previous iPhones when using Messages, the contact name appeared at the top of the screen. Now I see their 1+xxx-xxx-xxxx (phone number). People who haven't updated their iPhone's yet now don't see my name in Messages, they see my 1+ phone number. What's up with that?

He says "Somehow there was two different catagories - "All Contacts" and "Contacts." All of my contacts were in "All Contacts," I dragged them over to "Contacts" and Messages picked them up." However, I don't understand where these two categories are.
Thanks

The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages

The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages, only the number is showing up. How can I fix this?

This is a HUGE iOS bug.. 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.
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

Did you change your sim card? I had this same problem because I moved countries and had to add a 1 before the number and area code.
