E90 recent call list odd problem

Hi All,
In my contacts I have contacts that have multiple numbers, for example for the contact John I have his mobile number and his home number both stored under the same name and each has its little phone icon: a mobile phone icon for the mobile number and a regular phone icon for the home number.
When I get a call from John I know from which number he's calling cos the little icon shows next to his name (mobile or regular phone icon).
All this is great so far, but my problem is: When John calls me from his home (home icon shows up) and after hanging up I go to the recent calls menu in the Log, the mobile icon appears next to his name, knowing he has called me from his home.
In fact this happens with all my contacts, I only see mobile icons next to all names in the calls list regardless of the numbers they called from.... This is annoying cos if you missed a call and want to check it, you cannot be sure from which number you got the call.
This never happened with my previous phones.(9500, N80, 6610,6310i, 6210, etc....)
I have the latest firmware installed and made sure that all contacts numbers have the correct icons....
Can you guys help me? Does this happen on your E90 also?
Sorry for the long post and thanks.

Since the beginning it was a bug, Nokia seems not to be interested to fix it and it is not so good for a toy I payed, 1 years ago, 900€. Personally it annoys me a lot, since I have contacts with several numbers. Really soon I will change my mobile, I think after years, I will not buy a Nokia. Regards.

HT201394 Why are some of my contacts randomly showing as 'no caller id' in my recent calls list?

I updated to ios 8.0.2 yesterday and now when I go into my recent caller list lots of the numbers are showing up as 'No Caller ID' even thought they are in my contacts list, were showing up correctly before I updated, and when you go into the 'No Caller Id' number it shows the contact details. It isn't even uniform as to which contacts are affected with the same number sometimes showing correctly and other times showing no caller id. Is anyone else having this problem and can anyone tell me how I can fix this? So far I am not loving ios 8.0.2 one bit!!

I'm also having this problem on my iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2 installed.
In case it helps anyone to see the problem this is what my Recents list looks like in the Phone app (I have greyed out the two names it did randomly recognize). There does not appear to be any coherent pattern to this. All of the 'No Caller ID's listed are from people in my Contacts, as you can see it recognizes that they are from a mobile, work or other number and when you hit the i for more info the person's full contact details are displayed as per their entry in my Contacts app.
Restarting the phone has not solved it, neither has leaving the app open for a while. I know this is an old photo but it is still happening randomly with some new calls.

Disorganized recent calls list (Recents)

I'm writing this because I have been frustrated since 2007 with the iPhone's Recents or recent calls list. I have had other smartphones and dumbphones and they have all had better organized recent calls lists. It's incredible to me that Apple hasn't changed this and their own employees can't possibly be satisfied with how it works! If you agree please take a moment to put in a request on the feedback page. Thank you.
The main problem is that calls to and from the same number will appear on different lines in the list. ALL calls from and to the same number should be consolidated! The most recent call is the one you should see, whether it be a missed call or the one you made. THEN when you tap on the arrow, you should see the entire history of the calls to and from that number.
I am a heavy phone user at times depending on business and personal events. If I am calling and receiving calls from a particular person or persons multiple times during the day, then soon my recent calls list is full of entries from just those few numbers! Then that one new number that I call or receive gets buried and lost among all these repeated entries to/from the same frequently dialed numbers.
The MAIN PURPOSE of a Recents list is to QUICKLY find and access a recent phone number. The way iPhone works does not accomplish this!
Another frustrating aspect is that when I delete some repeated entries, it will be combined (added to the history) with another entry of the same number. Ok great, but this doesn't always happen. PLUS, I shouldn't have to perform manual maintenance on this list to keep it clear and concise anyway - it should be automatic!!
Thank you. I am going to have a cookie (NOT an Apple) to help calm down. Arrgh.

Yes, I like it that way. I find it makes it very easy to find missed calls that I need to return.

I can't save my contacts through the recent call list or through a message !!! Help!

I can't save a number from like my messages when a number text me that I don't have on my phone and I can't save it through the recent call list either. I have to manually do it from my contacts! Help!! Please

The things is, I have access to all the severs with all the permissions.
I don't have that option. But I tried something new. I've put all the files in one big folder on my desktop,. It seems to work that way. It's weird cause I don't have that problem with the other adobe apps.
Thank you.

N82 recent calls list bug

I have noticed in the recent calls list on my N82 that a mobile phone icon is shown no matter what type of call you have made or received, eg: if you make or receive a call to or from a home/telephone number that is listed in your contacts, you will only see the mobile phone icon in the recent calls list, this is a major firmware bug because when you check your recent calls you won't be able to tell if the call dialed or received was from or to a mobile or home/telephone number.
Can someone confirm this is infact a bug, or am i the only one.
Thanks!

Yes, I've the same problem on my N82.
This is not acceptable since this is a simple standard phone feature in today's mobile phone.
I love my N82 except this BIG bug.

Recent Call List not working since 4.2 update

I've already posted this in the 3G forum but the couple of other threads relating to the issue don't seem 3G-specific so figured I'd post here too in case anyone else has had the same problem.
Since updating to 4.2 my Recent call list no longer works.
Favorites, Contacts, Keypad and Voicemail buttons all respond as expected, but the Recents button just quits the Phone and returns me to the App menu/home page.
Have done a full Reset and Restore to no avail.
Really missing Missed Calls etc, kinda a fundamental feature on a mobile phone...
Anyone else having this problem?

Same problem with me also - as soon as I updated to latest software. I've been on the phone to apple support and they don't have any answers - yet...

Are the contact details in your contacts app, the phone app uses the contact app to put names against telephone numbers.

How do i edit numbers in the recent call list?

I'm using iOS 5.0.1 on the 4s currently
Can anyone tell me how to edit the contact numbers in the recent call list? Eg. I would need to add a certain prefix in front of the number to return an overseas call in my recent call list. I tried to copy n paste the number after adding the prefix manually via keypad, but this method erases the prefix. Is there any other way to do this besides saving a different number in my contact list?

As it happens, I use my "Recent Applications" menu as a list of "favourite" apps more than as a way to access recent apps. I won't go into too many details of "why", but I do have the "Finder" in there.
I am using "Panther" so I don't know if this still works, but try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering this command:<pre>defaults write com.apple.recentitems apps -array-add '/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app'</pre>It may be necessary to log out and back in again for the change to take effect, or the change at least may only be active in apps launched after modification of the file. There may also be issues related to the number of items in the list - it may be necessary to increase the "Number of recent Applications" through "System Preferences", or else clearing the list before entering the above command.
I also keep my "com.apple.recentitems.plist" file "locked" - this prevents items from being dropped through non-use. Despite being "locked", the menu does update during a login session so I still get some "recent item" functionality from the menu. Everything does of course revert to the saved state for the next login, however.
Regarding the "Dock", in "Panther", after "hiding" the "Dock", it is relatively easy to "pause" or restart it, repectively, using:<pre>killall -STOP Dock
killall -CONT Dock</pre>Perhaps these commands could be incorporated into an "AppleScript" application and added to "Recent Applications". However, you will also lose the use of ⌘-Tab application switching, Exposé, widgets, and the ability to minimize windows while the "Dock" is paused. Alternatively, there are a number of preference settings that can be applied to the Dock's ".plist" file to minimize its obtrusiveness without affecting other "Dock.app" functions. However, it will be more difficult to toggle between the two states than simply pausing the whole app...

HT2458 How do i make my voicemail look kind of like my recent calls list?

Right now i have to Call my voice mail but my friend told me that you could make your voicemail a list like the recent calls list. Please help me i am super confused.

if your with an official US carrier what you are refering to is visual voicemail.
Go to settings then general, then Cellular.
There turn cellular data off, then back on.
Now go to voicemail and add your voicemail password, now you should have visual voicemail.
