N8 not showing the name of the contact calling

Hi All,
I have seen a strange issue with N8. I have never experienced this with any other Nokia phones that I have been using. Not sure if others have noticed it. Here is what I have experienced:
At times, I have seen that when I receive a call from the person who is already added in my contact list, the phone is just displaying the number and not the name of the person. When I check the Log, it also displays the number and not the name of the person.
Just so that someone might have a question, I have imported my contact list from my previous handset (Nokia N70) where it worked absolutely fine.
If someone has experienced the same kind of issue, could you please explain me and help me resolve it. It is quite inconvenient to identify the caller without the name and decide whether to accept or reject during work hours and have at times missed some important calls due to that.
Thanks,
manishk1403

Just so you know, guys, you're not the only ones with this issue. It suddenly popped up a week or so ago when I ran the PR 1.2 update OTA. And as to the comment about duplicate contacts, my phone used to show the name that was alphabetically first amongst the duplicates sharing the same number.
Nokia, you've made one the best devices thus far in the N8, and I feel like I can say that because I've used Nokia devices since the 3310, and am a diehard fan in every respect. But the issues I've had on the N8 are totally unbelievable. I still use a 7610 and I find it more reliable than the N8. Also, it's surprising to see how caustic your support team replies are to genuine problems your users are having with their phones, which are UNDOUBTEDLY a result of improperly thought out firmware upgrades and plain lack of user-friendliness. Nokia seems very happy to place the blame on the user, that is, provided they reply in the first place. And as to the solution above, the one that the operator at Nokia support recommended, is just plain idiotic. What exactly is the point of OTA upgrades if one has to perform it by cable anyways? And resetting the phone? Do I have to do it everytime I install something on my phone? Is that the solution to every problem on this great device? I mean, come ON Nokia. I gave up an iPhone 4 for this. Please try not to make me, and millions of others who have done the same thing regret our decision. We're not asking you to perform rocket science on clay tableta or a feat of some improbable technological wonder. We're asking you for things that are ALREADY there for AGES on other phones, and a little bit of consideration that I feel we've all earned. I honestly didnt mean for this to turn into a rant, but this is truly the first time ever that I've had such a troublesome device from Nokia, and witnessed such scathing indifference to user troubles, despite being squarely at fault with respect to buggy and incomplete firmware.

  • TS2753 a purchased song does not show my name on the info

    I purchased a song thru I-tunes and I cannot get it to play.  If I look at the info, it does not show who it was purchased by.  All of my other songs do and they play fine.

    The 'Purchased' music is just a special Playlist. You can create your own and drag the links into the 'Purchased' PL.
    Using the command CMD-J you can add the Purchase date to your list view - sort by date - drag the tunes to the 'Purchased' PL.

  • The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages

    The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages, only the number is showing up. How can I fix this?

    This is a HUGE iOS bug.. Following a tip from another poster, I was able to fix the issue (temporarily).
    This worked for me on Verizon.
    I dialed *228 on my Verizon phone. I pressed "1" to activate it over the air. I then went into task manager and killed all the running apps.. Waited a few minutes.
    The next text I got displayed the number correctly!.. Until I rebooted, that is.
    PLEASE, call Apple and speak with a senior engineer on this. They can't fix it if they don't know it's a problem! (800) MY-IPHONE

  • 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.

    Our iPad wasn't showing the name of the person signed in to Find My Friends under ME.  It was showing someone else.  We deleted that person's contact from Contacts.  Removed Find My Friends.  Rebooted iPad.  Reinstalled Find My Friends.  Now it says My Location.   Better.   Added the contact back in - still working fine.

    Hi
    In BO 4.0 SP 9 when a administrator tries to schedule a report via CMC there is no error
    But when a user schedules a report and the destination is FTP location -> Use default settings he gets following error
    Destination disabled. []: [CrystalEnterprise.Ftp]. Please note the name of the job server used for your request and contact your system administrator to make sure the specified destination is enabled. (FWB 00031)
    There is only one Job Server and the destinations are enabled in it
    There is no Job server for Crystal Reports Job Server
    Do i need to create it and how.

    Please check if you have proper rights to schedule to FTP. You can create a new job server, whenever you schedule it, there are multiple job servers, it will handle based on the load. But it is not mandatory, depends on the load.

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

  • ICHAT shows an IM name that is the sender that is not the name on the account. How do I change the name of the sender? Make sense?

    On my IChat accountn when I send a message to someone it shows a name, for example.
    John Doe (IM):
    Hello
    John doe is not my name. Mine for the sake of discussion will be
    Jim Nabors
    Why is John Doe showing up on my sent ICHAT texts when its not associated with my account?

    Hi,
    Can I check I have Understood this correctly ?
    You are saying if You send the IM the Buddy sees the name "John Doe" instead of "Jim Nabors" ?
    If this is an AIM login name there can be several reasons for this.
    1) AIM allow Display names to be used.
    Most people will remember setting this and tend to add Capitals and Spaces to their "Name"
    If you Visit AIM Settings you can check your Display Name (if there is one)
    Mine look like this when I have signed in
    I have it set to display iChat Guru
    2) iChat takes the naes in the Buddy List you have and combines that with the Address Book entries (an entry has to list a person's Screen Name)
    That causes the iChat Buddy List to display their "Real Name" (or whatever you added as their "First Name, Last Name")
    It could be that your Buddy calls you "John Doe" in their Address Book.
    The only way you can be sure is to have them take a Screen Shot  of the chat and send it to you.
    (best to use some phrase or pic so you are certain is going to be you only)
    Example Bonjour Chat with me at both ends.
    I have the View Menu > Messages set to to display Names and Buddy Pics  so the left hand "Buddy" shows my name as in the Address Book on the other computer (even though I use the same pic)
    This leads on to what iChat shows you at your end.
    In the header it can show your your "Handle" (Screen Name) or your Real Name as it appears in the address Book at the My Card entry.
    The Address Book tends to have the name in the My Card of the person that created the Mac User Account.
    This can mean that if your are logged on to the Mac as someone else that this will display at your End.
    Only your Screen Name is sent to the other end.

    Gotcha, sorry, I'm guessing you are referring to Windows Autoplay.  This should do it:
    Type regedit into your search bar and bring up Registry editor. Go to the the very top with My Computer. Now go to Edit and Find. Type in the whole offending name that is bugging you, i.e. Soandso's iPhone and hit find. After it searches your registry and finds the first name select it and Edit the Name. I copy/pasted it for all the next steps. After you have found the first name don't stop there. Use F3 to find next Name in registry and So on and so fourth until you have replaced every offending name in your whole registry with the Name you want to show up i.e. Tom's iPhone or whatever? Repeat all of these steps if you have more than one name showing up in your devices? Worked 100% for me. Close regedit and reboot (very important for changes.) Plug your iPhone back in and enjoy all your names back to normal.

    how do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

    Not all movies qualify for download on demand from iTunes in the Cloud, the rights may be reserved by the content provider and can vary by region. What response have you had from iTunes Store support?
    If you have still have the computer they were on it might be possible to extract the hard drive, mount it in an external drive bay and recover the content from it.
