My BBM display name keeps updating?

For some unknown reason, my BBM display name keeps telling my contacts that it's changing (sometimes every two minutes and other times every five or so minutes) when I'm not even doing anything to it.
My phone is a Blackberry Curve 8900
Anyone know what's wrong with it?

Hello k4thleen and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are having issues with BBM™.
When your contacts are getting the notification of the change being made, what is being displayed as the change?
Back up your BBM contact list as shown in KB20554 "How to back up and restore the BlackBerry Messenger contact list" and clear your BBM database as shown in KB10167 "How to clear the user content databases from the BlackBerry smartphone". Restore your contact list and monitor the changes.
Let me know how you make out.

Update name, surname from display name - script needed

Hello
I'm moved from Postfix to Office365. My users has only display name field filled. This is a problem when we try to find an user, because only way is to find it when You will put name in search field.
I decided to build a script that will first check if the user has "Name" is filled if not then we need to take display name. Divide it (take first word into name and rest into
surname). Next update users name and surname.
I try to make such script but my skills are not enought to do it, so I ask You for help. I know that this is a piece of cake for You ;)

Why does the display name in older messages change if I update my address book for that E-mail address?

I have recently installed Thunderbird 24.5.0 after upgrading a WinXP machine to Win7. I have discovered a strange problem with older mail that was imported from Outlook Express 6.
The pastor of my church uses a generic E-mail address <[email protected]>. This address belongs to the position, not to an individual. We recently had a new pastor come to the church, and I updated my entry for this E-mail address to reflect the new person's name. This is fine for new mail sent since the new person arrived, but Thunderbird has also applied the new name to older mail from the previous pastor. This is very confusing, since the current pastor could not have sent mail from that address prior to her start date.
How can I get Thunderbird to stop changing the Display Name in archival messages that were sent by the previous pastor prior to September 01, 2013? I have not encountered this situation before using Netscape 4.x Mail, Outlook Express 6, and Windows Mail (Vista version).

Of course it does. It looks for a match between the sender's email address and a Contact in your address book. You've edited the Display Name for this account so it gets applied to any message with that email address if that's how your Address Book is configured.
In the Contact card for this address, you can tell it whether or not to use the "real" email address within the message, or the Display Name from your Address Book. Telling it to use the name found in the message ''might'' resolve this, but it depends on how the sender has formatted it. If he includes his name then Thunderbird should be able to resolve it, and you just add both configurations to your Address Book as two separate Contacts, rather than modifying the existing entry.
However, in this situation you're using the same email address for two distinct people, so Thunderbird may not be able to know who sent the old messages. If both have sent using "rector@stpeterscobourg.org" without any personalization then Thunderbird won't be able to differentiate between them.
I have to say that I haven't recently tried using different display names with the same email address, so I don't know for sure if TB can use the display name constructively. If there's nothing in the old messages to tell you which sender wrote them, then TB can't do anything about it.

How can I control Updates? (i.e Display Name, First Name, etc)

Hello,
I've noticed that if a user is revoked in resource object A, when one of his properties changes (i.e Display Name), the form of that application isn't updated.
However, if he is in "Provisioned", "Manually cancelled",... then the form gets updated.
I'd like to limit the updates to resource objects where the user is either in Provisioned, Enabled or Disabled state. Is there a simple way to do this? I would think there would be a lookup to define something like this.
Thanks in advance

Update display name of approval/request to something sensible

I'm trying to update the display name / request summary to something that's easy to understand to the approver. Their is currently no template meachanism to support this.
I've tried to update the request's displayname in a workflow activity, however the update is in the request history but still the old hard to understand request summary is displayed.
Then I figured out that the approval object has an attribute request, after which I tried to get the object using various query combination using wsenum. Without success.
Being desperate, I decided to update the database directly, with success. IS THEIR ANOTHER WAY TO THIS? I Would prefer to do this using the normal platform service.

Hi David thanks for the response. End users complain that the approvals make no sense and if they have several to dig through the are quite unfriendly and cannot quickly see what was requested
without digging. To the end I am trying to the following with approvals:
Customize the display name shown in the first column of "My Approvals" to something other than "Update to Person: John Smith". I would like to programmatically change it based on the equest
type. For instance "New Payroll Account Requested for John Smith" or "New OCS Account Requested for John Smith".
Inside of the approval object, I would like to change it to to clearly show what is being requested, by who and who approved it.
If you have any examples that you can share that would be great. I am not asking you to do my job but any pointers or at least a starting point
would be most helpful since the MS documentation is, ahem, thin.
Cheers!

How to link yahoo email & automatically update display name in im

foremost, got myself a new 8520...i'm actually surprised how somewhat integrated/very user-friendly blackberry is..so far, it seems to be the best device in the business in terms of messaging/communication...i'm still an android user tho... anyway, couple of questions :
1. you know you can "link" im ids to contacts easily, how to do it when you receive an email and you want to link/insert the email address of the sender to an existing contact ? you can do that but you have to copy and paste instead of "link to bb contact" like you do with im ids.
2. probably its feedback for future upgrade, if you want to link/add an emai id to your contact, it'll more practical if you highlight the sender's (display) name and just link to contact, yet under this contact the actual email address is shown+saved rather than the display name.
3. if you link an im id for example yahoo messenger to a contact, should the display name automatically be that of the contact name instead of manually changing the display name for each contact ?
4. hopefully in the near future, there's only 1 messaging app instead of having ym, google talk, bbm separately....
thanks.

Project Server 2010 - Updated User Profile - Display Name is Old Name

Similar to question"It shows the Domain\Logon account instead the User Name (up right corner)" but not quite the same. I also checked on the related topics list and could not find a solution.
We have a Resource in Project Server 2010 whose name changed. This included a change to her loginID as well as her email address. I went in to PWA > Server Settings > Security > Manage Users and changed the
Name, Email Address, and User Login Account fields accordingly. When the user goes into Project Server or any of the Project Sites, her old User Name is reflected. If she accesses any other SharePoint site (not associated with Project Server) her
new name shows up in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
We do not have AD Synchronization turned on.
How can we edit the name that appears in the upper right corner of the screen?

Hi,
Use Display name shown on right hand site is not from PWA, its from SharePoint User profile. When we make change to user display name, sometime SharePoint Still retain the old account and also add new account. To fix the issue we have to remove the user
profile from PWA root site.
Open PWA and navigate to following path
Site Actions>>Site Settings>>People and Groups
Click on More from left hand site list of groups
Select appropriate group, belongs to the user
Select the user and from Actions tab remove the user. (you may see two entries old and new), Either you can delete both or click on each account to validate correct user ID.
Once again navigate to PWA>>Server Settings>>Manage User
Edit affected user and click on Save
Have user log on to PWA and validate the result.

SMS Text Display name

If I go into options on my BB 8530 and into the SMS Text and change my display name and then save it keeps it for a short period of time. As soon as I do a reboot by the alt, caps, del keys it goes back to the first name I put in. Is there a service book that keeps that stored somewhere? How do I get it to keep the display name that I want? Thanks

Any suggestions on what to do? Is there a service book that maybe can be replaced? I see a WapPushConfig (SMS). Will deleting that maybe fix it or will that cause more issues? Thanks for the help.
Well, quite honestly, the SMS is not enabled by service book... BUT, there is no harm in deleting that one and resending it.
Delete that SB entry.
Reboot (powered on battery pull)
Resend Service Books.
Check it is reinstalled, if not do another reboot.

Contacts: Display "Name, first name"

Need your help dear BB Z10 community!
Does any one know if there is the possibility within the contacts to display "Name, first name" (and not to sort!) like on the old beloved BB 9900?
How to sort is clear to me, but I would like, within the sort's result, to display first the name and then the rated first name, separated by a comma.
Any advise and help would be very much appreciated!
I just hope not to receiving a response from BB "we cannot do"! It seems to me that BB has not taken over the really professional business features on the Z10, which we daily badly need... at least up to now.

Please list that need here:

How can I change the display name when I call someone?

I recently gave a re-provisioned 8300 to a new employee. I wiped out the phone, and re-setup the phone in our exchange server to match the new user's settings.
The only problem he's having is that when he calls someone, the display name shows the previous users name as the person calling.
How do I change that?
Thanks in advance,

There are multiple users with the same display name

Hi,
We have a user and when she get an item assigned to her she sees the following alert:
"There are multiple users with the same display name USERNAME and at least one of them does not have read permissions to some of the files"
Now I looked in the database and when I run the following query with the username:
SELECT
[ProviderDisplayName]
,[DisplayName]
,[HasDisplayName]
,[Domain]
,[AccountName]
,[UniqueUserId]
,[LastSync]
FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_Identity] where displayname like '%USERNAME%'
Then I get 2 same usernames back, How can I get rid of one of them ? When I access TFS trough the portal I only find 1 occurence of this user.
We use VS2013 and TFS2013 update 4
Best regards

Hi DSW,
Thanks for your post.
In your query result, please check if these two users have the same Account Name. if they are two different Account Name in result, it indicate there’s two users have the same display name in your AD, please check that two users’ information in
your AD. We suggest change one user’s display name in AD.

Exchange Online Management cmdlets return Display Name instead of Identity

Hello,
We've got an issue when managing our Exchange Online environment using remote PowerShell.
We use Exchange management cmdlets to manage Exchange Online mailboxes. When we run, for example, the
Get-MailboxPermission or Get-RecipientPermission
cmdlets, it returns Display Names of the users with mailbox rights. Previously, when we initially tested remote PowerShell with Exchange Online, the cmdlets returned the
Identity property, which is unique and worked well for us. However, currently the cmdlets return the
Display Name, which is not unique and causes us issues. For example, in our environment there can exist two or more users with the same Display Name (see highlighted on the screenshot):
In cases when only one of the users is granted a permission, we cannot distinguish programmatically, which of the 2 users this is. Also, we cannot run cmdlets, such as
Get-SecurityPrincipal, to get more info about the principals who are granted the permission.
Is it possible to get the old behavior of the cmdlets back so that they return the unique
Identity instead of the non-unique Display Name? Or how do we workaround this?

Hello,
Can anyone update on this? The issue causes us HUGE problems :(

SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics showing user Display Name and Account Name from the same user

Hi!
Since July, 16th 2012 the Web Analytics Daily Unique Visitors reports started to show almost the double of visitors we used to have on our Web Application. Here are some of the data (I intentionally deleted the weekend data):
10/7/2012 2.497
11/7/2012 2.723
12/7/2012 2.722
13/7/2012 2.699
16/7/2012 5.055
17/7/2012 4.963
18/7/2012 4.954
19/7/2012 4.998
20/7/2012 4.965
23/7/2012 5.117
24/7/2012 5.012
25/7/2012 5.071
As you may notice the data jumped from around 2.700 unique visitors to around 5.000 unique visitors. As the number of permissioned users remains constant it is pretty odd. I also checked the Number of Page Views report and see no change on its behavior.
The number of page views remained constant.
So I went to look the Top Visitors report and understand why the visitors number almost doubled. The analytics started to count the users Display Name and Account name as two different visitors with a different number of page views. Let me show you an example
from yesterday (July, 25th) Top Visitors report:
#    Visitor                  Page Views   %
1   Cinthia XXXXXXXXXX    359      0,55%
5   Giselle XXXXXXXXXX     143        0,22%
7    Aline XXXXXXXXXX       138        0,21%
15 nt\cmazevedo              111        0,17%
60 nt\gbsantana                 69        0,11%
73 nt\aglsiqueira                 65      0,10%
"Cinthia" and the account "nt\cmazevedo" are the same person. The same is applied to "Giselle" / "nt\gbsantana" and "Aline" / "nt\aglsiqueira".
As I stated this is an example from July, 25th. If I checked the same report from a period before July, 16th I can only see the users Display Name as "Visitors". No account name is displayed or counted as a different visitor.
About the environment:
We have two SharePoint 2010 farms: a "corporate" and a "enterprise". The corporate farm contains four web servers and a central administration servers with publishing services. The enterprise farm contains two servers running User Profile Services, Search
Services and some others. Our main version is the SP1 with June/2011 Cumulative Update with a few more hotfixes applied.
This behavior on analytics is affecting all web applications (we have more than 20) installed on this farm and my company Support team said that no change were made on SharePoint on the weekend the problem started.
Does anyone have any tip about what is going on?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Manas!
First of all thanks for your interest on this issue but I don't think it is related to the User Profile or the Active Directory.
I checked both records and there was no change on the Display Names. All the users have "full names" as display names (first + middle + last name) and not logins as SharePoint is displaying on this report.
But I did a test yesterday and checked the results today confirming that just the access been made using a specific server are causing this. Explaining it better:
I have four web servers on my farm named from P01 to P04. Then I created this test script:
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P01.
Step 2: Access site "A"
Step 3: Access site "B"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P02.
Step 2: Access site "C"
Step 3: Access site "D"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P03.
Step 2: Access site "E"
Step 3: Access site "F"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P04.
Step 2: Access site "G"
Step 3: Access site "H"
Step 4: Close the browser.
I asked three users to execute that script. The results: All access to the sites "C" and "D" were registered on Web Analytics with the user account name such as "nt\cmazevedo". All the other sites registered the user Display Name correctly such as "Cinthia
XXXXXXXXXX".
With this test we could isolate the problem just on the server P02. It doesn't occur on the others. Now my support team is trying to find any configuration difference between this server and the other three that could point for the root cause.
I am also looking for some information regarding the service responsible for this task ("transform the account name into a display name") to understand why it doesn't work on one server and works on the others.
Thanks!
