Incoming calls do not show contact names

We have a problem here and it is the only reason I had to go back to my 9900.
All my over 3000 contact are put into my phone with the relevant country codes.  Now the names do not show up on incoming calls.  I have played around with Smart dialling settings nad tried other things and... 'no joy'.  The only thing that works is to remove the country codes to all local numbers.
HELP!!!...so I can go back to the Q10!!

I have this same problem and dialing *228 didn't not fix my phone either.

  • After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

  • E52 not showing contacts name in inbox

    Hi,
    iam facing this problem of my e52 not showing contacts names in inbox.
    Some of the contacts name are shown, those which was originally in my phone memory.
    because i do a lot of trading, i constantly adds new numbers to my contacts from the sms they sent. But the main problem is here is even after i added their contact giving them names, the names doesnt show up in inbox, its still just numbers.
    desperately need help for this. how can a business phone have this kind of problem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This happens to me too when I store the number under two names, or the synchronization creates double entries, for example:
    Two names:
    1234    Anna    
    1234    Bea
    Double entries
    1234    Anna
    1234    Anna
    When the text message comes in, there's no name. But you can send a message either to Anna or Bea and the message outbox shows the proper name.
    The solution is to delete one entry or merge the duplicate contacts.
    Hope this helps.

  • IMessage not showing contact names

    I just recently downloaded and installed OS X Mavericks on my 2011 iMac and trying to get up and running with the new iMessage app. But there are two major bugs I can figure out how to fix if anyone can help me fix these problems or comment if your having the same issues that would be a big help.
    1: When receiving a message from someone in my contacts list/address book, their names do not apper next to the message, but rather only their phone numbers. I have went thought the view options and selected show contacts name and also tried adding a name to the existing number with no results. Does anyone know how to fix this bug?
    2: The lag time between SMS/iphone messages and the time it takes to show up in iMessage on my mac is rather long. There is about a 3 minute delay before the text message conversation shows up from my phone to computer. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Re 2).
    This is a bit of a "known Issue" with no current fix.
    The issue is related to the fact a iOS device seems to get the "first " push of the iMessage and that the Mac only gets "Sync" push which seems to be slower (and for some bizarre reason not always in order)
    Re 1) I have seen this reported but maybe not as clearly as your post.
    No-one seemed to make it clear the Contacts were in the Address Book (Contacts app) and that it seemed to be ignoring the Names for just the Numbers.
    Obviously you can use the View Menu > Messages > Show Pictures and Name (or Show Names)
    As you say this should link the ID or iPhone Number being used in the iMessages to the "Real Name" in the Address Card for that person.
    The options are:-
    A) You are receiving an iMessage from an iPhone Number but the link to the Address Card is not working.
    If you make sure you are sending to an Apple ID what do you see ? (Apple ID or Real Name or in fact the iPhone number again)
    This may be because you have lost the ability to "read" the saved data for the Contacts app.
    B) Check the Contacts app and see if it is Syncing properly with any iOS device (i.e that all items have the Name as well as an iPhone number in the Address Card.)

  • My phone does not show contact names for country and area code while having in coming calls. Although, I have endorsed the name with numbers. How do I the problem. My one is a iphone 3s device with updated os. Please text to help

    My iphone does not recognize saved contact number while having incoming calls due to country and area code as auto prefix. How do i fix the problem. How do i ensure that the phone recognize calls with and without the country and area code. Please text to help.

    1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
    4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
    5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
    6) Open the Message App to verify the fix

  • Incoming calls do not display contacts # TYPE (work, mobile,etc​)

    I am a verizon carrier and I recently upgraded from a curve to a tour 9630. I am on a business enterprise server that syncs with my outlook. On my old curve and other BB's, when I would receive a call from someone in my address book, the screen would display: the person's name, their number, and in parentheses- what contact number that was, ex: (work) (mobile), etc.. These are all still listed in my outlook and blackberry address book correctly. Now on my tour, on incoming calls from individuals in my address book, it only lists their name and number. The parentheses that listed what contact type their number was, has dissapeared and since I don't memorize #'s anymore, I dont know where they're calling from. Is this a glitch or a removed feature on the Tour? Or is it a setting that I can't find?

    I have the same issue...not sure if my upgrade to BB OS 5.0 solved it.
    It now shows # type when I answer the phone and on the call log screen.
    Try seeing if #type is displayed once you answer the phone...If not Upgrade
    Cheers

  • IPhone not showing contacts names in text messaging after sync AND reset

    Three days ago, I bought the iPhone 4S as an updgrade from the 3GS. I also transferred my wireless service plan from AT&T to Verizon. Since doing that, very strange things are happening. For example, my contacts appeared to transfer without a problem, but whenever I attempt a call to a number that does not have a "1" stored in front of it, it tells me that I am attempting a long-distance or international call and the call won't go thru unless I place a 1 in front of the number and store it that way. Also, whenever I send text messages and someone replies, their message comes back to my phone under the phone number only and not the name that is stored in my contacts. This happens even when the contact sends a direct message to me that is not a reply. (Imagine all the "Merry Christmas" messages I received yesterday that I have no idea who they were from, except the 5 out of 300 contacts whose numbers I have memorized!!) I have gone to the Apple Store and the "Genius" there reset my phone, which temporarily fixed the problem, but now it is back. I did a soft reset, now it randomly selects which names will show up in my text message window. (For example, yesterday, the name "Jane" shows a message that says "Merry Christmas", but after the reset, only Jane's number shows up in the text screen with the same message from yesterday.)
    Does anyone know what in the world is going on?? This is Very Annoying! I'm tempted to go back to AT&T, as I am being told that the iphone technology, even for 4S, is not as compatible on Verizon as it is with AT&T. Please help!  

    Not sure about the random contact name problem. I suspect a bad database. Use iTunes to delete and replace your contacts with a good list. If that doesn't work, do a 100% software reset and don't restore a backup, setup as a new device. Finally, if that fails go back to the apple store. The issue is not software fixable and the unit should be replaced.
    The other issue with 1 dialing required... are you roaming? Disable wifi, should say Verizon 3G in the status bar.
    When you are off your home area cell network, you are not dealing with Verizon directly.
    Edit: your last question about using a Verizon 4S on AT&T's network. You are correct, out of the box the Verizon 4S is locked to only work on Verizon's network. The AT&T 4S and Sprint 4S have the same locks. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone directly from apple. I've also heard of people convincing Sprint customer service to unlock their phones for use out of the country,

  • Incoming calls are not finding contact records

    I just upgraded phones from a 3GS to a 4S. The contact records transferred over and call history did as well.
    But the call history and incoming calls only show the number, they do not show the contact information. In the contact record, the phone numbers are missing the phone formatting, the () around the area code, etc.
    I tried opening the record and saving it to see if it would add the formatting. It didn't. I really don't want to type in each phone number again.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Andy,
    I just resolved this problem and I think I have the fix for you. First, when you upgraded from the 3GS to the 4S, did you switch carriers (from AT&T to Verizon for example)? I did and had the same problem you are experiencing. Here is the fix:
    1. If you are using Verizon, open the Phone app and dial *228. You will be connected with Verizon's programming system. When prompted, press "1" for "Program or Activate Your Phone".
    2. You will have to wait listening to music while the system upgrades your programming. Wait until the system says something like "Your settings or programming have been updated". Then disconnect the call.
    3. Open the iPhone Task Manager (double tap the "Home" button). Make sure that you see the Message, Phone and Contact applications. If you don't see one of those apps, go back and open them in the main menu screen.
    4. In the Task Manager, press your finger on one of those three apps (Contacts, Phone, Messages) until all the apps start to jiggle. Delete the Messages, Contacts and Phone apps (don't worry, they are still on your phone).
    5. Wait about three minutes, then go back to the Main Menu screen and open the Messages app. Everything should be fine. As it will be in the Contacts app.
    That's it! Worked for me. Hope for the same with you.

  • SMS does not show contact name

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4. I recently switched to using exchange as my contact list so I can have all my contacts (business and private) at the same place.
    My problem is that the contact names do not always show up on text messages. A few contacts work but there is no visible difference in the ones that work and those that don't. Also I have added the country code to the phone number and that does not solve the problem either. I have tried deleting the contacts and recreating them. I have tried to delete all the history of a given number and start the sms conversation again picking the name from the adress book - right after the message was sent it switched the name to the number.
    Also I have tried restarting the phone and resynced it to iTunes.
    Can anyone help me? This is really not possible to live with.

    1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
    4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
    5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)

  • I can send calls from Mac but incoming calls do not show up on Mac.

    Just downloaded Yosemite 10.10 on 10-21-14. I can make calls on my mac but unable to receive calls on my Mac. No notifications for incoming calls on my mac. Everything else runs fine. Messaging and calls from my mac works fine. I am running IOS 8.1 on a iPhone 4s. I have a 2009 Macbook Pro 2.54 duo with 8 gb of ram.

    There is no Adobe printer in recent versions of Mac OS. Look instead for a Save As Adobe PDF pull down.

  • Incoming calls are not ringing or activating the "...

    As stated in the subject box. Incoming calls do not ring. Also the text box indicating incoming calls does not show up on the screen either. The only way I know a call has come in is when it goes to voice mail.

    Ever since iOS5 the ringer and display does not work. No notifications.
    I live in a gated community and the gate is assigned to my Skype number. I also have clients who call me and they aren't getting through.
    If I have to purchase a land line, I will sue in small claims for the cost of the service and loss of service.
    Do not waste anyone's time with cookie-cutter answers.
    My Skype isn't ringing nor shows up on the screen ever since iOS5. You should have been working on this with the developer packs.
    I've deleted and reinstalled 3x. It is running. Volume is correct.
    This is outrageous as I pay for Skype and am thinking of canceling and demanding a full refund.
    You are pushing things towards class litigation here in the US. There is no excuse.
    Microsoft now owns Skype. They are a US corporation and are liable.
    iPhone4
    iOS5
    Skype 3.5.117(3.5.0.117)
    Notifications: Sound ON Alerts ON
    Volume is at 100%
    Ringer is at 100%

  • On OS 5, the contacts with international format do not show the names when they call me. any idea why?

    I have updated my Iphone 4 software to OS5, and since then the names of the people who call me stopped to appear and only their number is showing. after checking, i found out that the contatcs whom local phone number is saved in an international format are affected by this problem. if i save them without the country code, then their names appear.
    Also, some non local numbers that are saved in the format of 00966--------- instead of +966 ------- are also not showing the name of my contact when they call me.
    any idea about this knowing that the older OS version didn't have an issue with this?
    Thanks

    This is the same problem I have.  I thought it was my phone only, but now I realize it is a common thing.  I hope they release a fix to this, as they did in 2007 & 2007 when 3G was released.  Will be waiting and good luck to us all.

  • HT1766 my iphone 5 has not shown contacts name when i make call or an incoming calls many of them shown in phone book,thy are saved.can somone help??

    hi i was user of iphone4 since 3 years thats awsome experience but i bought iphone 5 <used> all well but for first time i have noticed that my fone didnt show contacts name even those are feed in my fone they perfectly show in phone book all of them are local numbers i tried many thing even i upgrade my iphone to ios7 but the problem is still there,i drop my fone in home and start to use my nolder iphone 4,could some one help that issue???

    Did you get this fixed? I went from 4s to 5s and now iPhone 6. I kept my original Kia 30 pin connector cable and bought a 30 pin to lightning adaptor (the one-inch square thingie). Unfortunately it would not connect with my iphone 5s case getting in the way of the connector site, but I was able to shave off the extra plastic and make it work. Because the original Kia cable connects to both the audio and the USB, the adaptor works great. Don't use the non-Kia USB-lightning cable, it is missing the audio connector that the Kia original cable has; I'm wondering if that is the issue for you. I am able to get my phone calls as well as my music through the car. By the way, I never use the Kia dashboard controls; they're horrible.

  • Why are my Text Contacts and incoming calls only are showing as "Message Received"

    All of my text contacts messages just say "Message Received", but if I have set a ringtone for them, that is the ringtone that plays. The same is true of incoming calls, It will show the phone number, but not the assigned name. I don't know everyone's phone number! I barely remember mine!
    HELP?? Please ?!
    How do I get my caller ID to work properly again?
    I have a Galaxy S3
    Thanks

        Hey there, celtmaidn! Thank you for bringing this matter to the community. I'm sorry that your Caller ID isn't providing you with the details you need, but I'm happy to help. If I understand correctly, incoming calls and messages do not display the name of any of your calls or messages, just the number. Does the same occur on your outbound calls and/or messages? Also, you may have a contact (example: Dave) that you have programmed in your S III with a mobile number, but "Dave" may have a home number as well. Have you confirmed that the number used for that call or message is the same one you have programmed into your device?

  • I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone.  However, whne my phone rings or I receive a text, the phone does not show the name of the contact person only the phone number.  I have checked every setting I can think of ?

    I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone.  However, when my phone rings or I receive a message.  The phone does not show the name of the caller.  It only shows the phone number that is calling.  I am sure this is a setting problem, but I have checked every setting I can think of.  Any suggestions??

    If you are a Verizon user try this:
    Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
    Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom.  Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
    Wait a 3-5 minutes.
    Try your phone again and see if it's fixed.
