Contacts not showing up on incoming calls although it is stored on my iPhone 5

contacts not showing up on incoming calls although it is stored on my iPhone 5

There could be any one of three 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 loca 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.
Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.
On your device, it could be at Options > Password.

Contact names not showing up for incoming calls!

Seems to be a reacuring problem for Blackberry. Ive done a search for this on here and there doesnt seem to be a solution for the other devices. Like the titel states, when I have an incoming call it shows just the phone number, not the persons contact name, which is saved in my devices contacts list. I have a brand new Blackberry Passport. Just wondering if there is any fix for this?? This is a big problem for me. Don't have many contacts numbers memorized as Im sure most people dont nowadays.

Hi @svansoros
I've unable to reproduce this issue after testing so I was wondering if you don't mind doing a few tests for me followed by capturing logs so our teams can investigate? To do this you'll need access to two phone lines.
LineA = Your Passport
LineB = Another phone line
On your Passport, create a new contact entry that contains LineB's phone number, e.g. 123-456-7890 and the contact name 'Test Test'
Using LineB, call your Passport and record what appears on your display, does it show the phone number or 'Test Test'? Record what time you called your Passport as well.
On your Passport, change the formatting of the phone number in the 'Test Test' contact to 1234567890 and call your passport again using Line B. Record the time you placed the call and what was displayed 'Test Test', or the phone number only.
After completing these steps, capture logs using the steps below and send them via email to the email address I'll send you via private message. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
How to capture logs
Open the Help application.
Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap Create Report.
Tap the Snapshot tab
Tap the Save Log Snapshot button.
Once the capture is complete, the device prompts to Upload Logs. Click No when this prompts appears .
The notification message closes and the log collection screen is displayed.
The Log Snapshots are automatically saved and can be found on the device memory in the Logs folder under Device\Documents\
Send the logs as a attachment to the email address I'll provide via private message.

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.

Hi

You didn't mention what country your Online Number is in. Not all of Skype's Online Numbers are eligible for use as Caller ID when calling telephones or sending SMS messages. If your number is from one of these countries (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US), then it can be used this way. Otherwise, you can use a mobile number from countries other than Japan or Mexico as Caller ID with Skype, after the number goes through a verification process where Skype sends SMS messages with codes to that number.
To get to these settings, log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site using the "Account" link at the top of this page. You'll see a screen that would include your current Caller ID settings, and a link to change that. If your Online Number is from one of those countries I referenced above, just select it and you're done.
Hope that helps!

Contacts not showing up

Im having a problem with my iphone 4. My contacts are in my phone when i search for them and also show up in my recent calls and text messages. However, whenever i touch contacts to bring up the list none of them are there. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello everyone!
For all of you out there who have received phone calls, text messages, etc, and have tried adding a contact by means other than directly via the contacts app only to have your contact not show up ANYWHERE (except maybe in a spotlight search), this quick troubleshooting guide is for you.
Disclaimers: This can be performed on an Apple computer, I do not troubleshoot for PC's (however, anyone who knows their way around computers can easily modify the steps for a PC). This method can also be used if you sync your contacts via MobileMe like I do, and should work for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. I have the latest OS on my iPhone, but it should work with any recent OS. My iTunes has been updated to the most recent version.
Step 1: Open Address Book on your mac. Make sure your address book view is extended to show your groups in the left column. Under groups, everyone will have a group labeled "All Contacts". If that's the only group you have, it's time to create another one. Click the "+" at the bottom of your group column and name your new group whatever you want. For my purposes (as this was an iPhone issue), I named my new group "iPhone Contacts". Do not add any contacts from "All Contacts" to your new group, as this will be unnecessarily redundant. Close Address Book, you're done with it.
Step 2: Open iTunes and plug in your iPhone. Hopefully you have your settings to manually sync when you plug your iPhone into iTunes, otherwise wait until it's synced to continue. Click the "Info" tab in iTunes. The first option is Sync Address Book Contacts. Make sure this option is checked. Under the first subheading, make sure "All contacts" is checked. Below the groups box, there will be a line that says "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to:" and make sure this is checked as well. (Bonus info- Unless you created a contact directly via the contacts app on your iPhone, that contact ends up in another list. This is why you can't see it right now.) At this moment is where that new contact group you created in Address Book comes into play. Use the drop-down menu to the right of this option to select that group (remember mine was "iPhone Contacts"). Do not change anything else. Now click "Sync" in the bottom right corner of iTunes.
Step 3: Once your iPhone is synced, open the Contacts app on your iPhone. If it opens to a contact list, tap the "Groups" button in the upper left corner of the screen. You should see two or three sections. The top section will simply be "All Contacts". The second section will be titled "From My Mac" and will display both "All from My Mac" and the new group you created in Address Book. If you use MobileMe, you will have a third section titled "[email protected]", under which your MobileMe contact group will fall. Make sure you tap the top group, "All Contacts". You will find those "missing" contacts now listed among all your other ones.
Bonus: If you find you have duplicate contact names but neither contact has a full information card, you can edit the contact, scroll to the bottom and tap the "Link contacts" button, then link your duplicates to insure you have all the info you want.
Success!! If you have any questions, let me know.

My iphone will not ring with an incoming call or an incoming text

My iphone will not ring with an incoming call or an incoming text

Hello tmacmillin,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like there is no sound with an incoming phone call or text. Have you checked to see if Do Not Disturb was accidentally enabled? You will see a "moon" icon in the status bar if it is enabled.
You can disable Do Not Disturb in Settings > Do Not Disturb or in the Control Center as described in the following articles:

If you are not hearing any sound from your speakers, I suggest reviewing the following article:

I was sitting here and my phone randomly said incoming call from my friend that is an iphone user. I answered it and nothing was there. He texted me the screen shot on his phone that said I called him, but it showed on my phone as an incoming call. Why?

Hi , I want ask you about imessage some time my account not availability and signal for calling some time no signal on my iPhone only search the signal ,

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

I have an Iphone5s and use Verizon. Frequently when I am on a call, it sounds like there is an incoming call which does not show up in either call waiting or missed calls.

When I went to check on line, the fix involved a screen that I did not even have on my phone. Anyone else have this problem and is there a solution? I can't seem to get tech support at Verizon. Boo.

Hi Debsy1,
Thanks for the additional details! Let's get this issue resolved. What software version is the device on? Please reset the Network Settings on the device. Go to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Please Note: Audio alerts may also indicate delivery of incoming text messages or emails. The tone will vary based on the type of information being delivered to the device. Tones may also indicate low battery charge or inadequate signal strength. Keep me posted with results.
Thanks,

Contact picture does not appear when receiving incoming call

I have attached pictures on my iPhone contacts but when i receive an incoming call the picture does not appear. Any ideas how to resolve.

I am expriencing the same issue with my iPhone 4S, were you able to resolve the problem?

Contacts not showing when others call me

I've just got my z10 and used my exchange account in activeSync mode and every thing worked fine, the issue is when someone calls me his name is not showing up, also if I dial a saved number the phone the name don't show up, what is this issue ???

I had similar issue with the text messages not showing sender's name. Go to Settings > security and privacy > sim card > edit phone number and I wrote my number without the country area code and it worked fine!
