Displaying the senders name when a text message is...

The 5800 and 5530 don't dispaly the name of the sender when a text message is received, right?
Well so I thought. and I wasn't too happy about it as all my previous phones had this facility.
Then a few days ago I got a message on my 5530 and when I looked at the screen there waa white star overlaying the image of the sender on my contacts bar.
Great, I thought, I'd never noticed that before! But how could this be? I haven't had a firmware upgrade or anything.
Since then I've found that I occasionally get the star on messages from this one contact, but not on messages from any of my other contacts.
What's going on?  I've searched the web and can find no references to this at all.
Have any other users noticed this feature? And can anyone explain why it doen't work for all contacts?

you will have a double entry of the contact, if more than one name attached to a number the phone doesn't know who sent it,eg if you have John Smith and Johns Mobile attached to 123456 then the phone sees the number and doesn't know who sent it, check your contacts and delete duplicate/multiple entries, many threads on this subject on the forum. Always the reason !
Good Luck

  • How to display the current name when renaming Finder item

    Is there any way to get Automator to display the current name of a Finder item when renaming an item?
    I want my users to be able to copy and rename a folder template but I want to display the folder template's current name as a default in the renaming dialogue window, so the user follows the correct naming format.

    Since you've already hacked into it, if you've got developer tools installed, it is most likely in the nib file that is in the English project folder in the Resources.
    I don't know what further implications that will have on the app in general, though.
    If you are a little adept at applescript, you may want to create your own Applescript Studio app to do this instead of Automator. Also, take a look at Platypus to make a wrapper around you applescript instead of AS Studio.

  • HT4689 With mission control in Mountain Lion, is there a setting that displays a document name when it is selected?

    For example, if I have 4 word documents open, and go to mission control so they are all displayed, can I turn a feature on that displays the document name when my mouse is over each document?
    Like in the picture, if I have my mouse over a document, the name of the document isn't displayed.  Can I change this?

    Hey! 
    I just got a new mac and was trying to figure out the same thing today!! I went from an older version to this 10.9.  I called apple support, the tech had no idea what I was talking about.  I was transferred to a manager who told me that it is not feature available on the new models.  After a 40 minute conversation I was about to let it go and then I saw this post and became determined LOL ... and I figured it out (SMH apple support).  So here is how you do you it:
    system preferences > trackpad > you want to make sure the "App Expose" is checked off > and you're done!!
    I am not able to upload a 2 photos so I will post a second screenshot of what it looks like once the preferences are set.

  • 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.

  • Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

    Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

    This happened to me and I was baffled for a bit.  I went to my contact list and that contact (that was now a number) had disappeared.  Then, multiple contacts started disappearing.  Subsequently, they reappeared but in duplicate and sometimes triplicate.  I believe that it had something to do with iCloud sync.  I ended up removing the contacts (in settings) and then bringing them back in.  Everything seemed to work after that.

  • Is there any way to get iMessage to display the absolute date rather than the relative date of a text message?

    Sometimes I need to document when a text message exchange occurred and taking a screen capture is a nice and efficient way of doing this.  However, since iOS7, iMessage has used relative dates for recent text messages and will simply say "Today 1:31 PM" when I would prefer it if it said, "Wed, Nov 12, 1:31 PM".  I can reasonably figure out whether November 11 was "Yesterday" if need be.

    No.

    The same situation when I want to send photo from mobile phone to my notebook. I didnt find any option how to change it.
    When I send photo from notebook to the mobile phone the notebook name (device name) is displayed. Try to check external device properties. Maybe you will find there way to change it.

  • Not to display the file name in the browser bar.

    Hello,
    Merry Christmas to all,
    Is it possible not to display the file name in the browser bar?
    Like say, when we write www.rediff.com, the index page name is not displayed.
    Likewise is it possible for any other page too.
    What I want is not to display any of the page name for the whole application.
    Whichever page is requested the page name should not appear in the address bar of the browser.
    How will I do that, what logics should I apply?
    Please suggest,
    Thanks,

    first, what does this have to do with Java?
    second, no; in order to display something, the browser needs to know where it is. and if it knows, then a user can find out too. maybe you can make it not show up in an address bar sometimes, but that really achieves nothing

  • Display the technical name of the last level of the hierarchy

    Hello,
    I have a report with hierarchy. Each level of the hierarchy uses different infoObject. I want the report to display the technical name only for nodes from specific infoObject. For example if the infoObject uses 0cust_grp1 (for the first level), 0cust_grp2 (for the second level), 0cust_grp3 (for the third level) and 0customer (for the last level) and I want to show the technical name only for the 0customer infoObject. I know how to do it in WAD reports. Is there a way of doing it in the Query Designer?
    Please Advice,
    David

    David,
          Check the below possibilities.
    1. You can do that in a workbook.
    2. Create a copy of the same hierarchy and for the 0CUSTOMER object and nodes give tech names as text also.

  • What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

    What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

    Trax and kirt are correct. I'm pretty good with technology, being an engineer and all, and I can tell you for a fact that this 'swoosh' sound (triggered by a successfully sent SMS) can NOT be disabled from ANY menu in iOS 5. The ONLY way to disable it is to flip the silent switch on the left hand side of the phone. This is extremely annoying for some people (like trax, kirt, and myself). For what we pay for Apple products and, in particular, this phone, we simply didn't expect to have to deal with such annoyances. That's why we're Mac users. Please fix this bug.
    I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but it bears repeating: turning off message sounds from the 'sounds' menu does not fix his problem. It still emits the swoosh noise. Whoever suggested this clearly didn't try it because it obviously doesn't work. Who posts a solution to a problem without knowing for a fact that their solution is correct? I find that response condescending because he writer is assuming we're not smart enough to have tried it. In reality, it's vice versa.

  • HT3529 how do i see the time i sent a text message?

    Does anyone know how I see the time next to my text messages?

    Time stamps are underneath the messages, not next to them. There's no way to change that.
    You'll see the time stamp for an initial message. After that, you'll only see a time stamp about every 15 minutes. However, when I archive my text messages using PhoneView, I can see a stamp next to each one.
    PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):
