No Sender Name in SMS Inbox

I have just changed from a Pearl to a Curve and have a problem displaying the senders name in the SMS inbox even if they are in my Contacts. I had the same problem on the Pearl but found that if I also saved the contact to the SIM, the name would then appear in the Inbox.
I have tried the same solution on the Curve but it has not worked. It is driving me mad as I don't know who a text message is from.
Anyone know anything which will help
Thanks
Cris

Hi there Yes, it has to do with the prefix
To fix it go to call log -> smart dialing -> and in "country code" change to your country's code (44 in your case)
That'll fix the name on the messages

Spaces in SMS Sender Name

Hi There,
We seem to be experiencing issues with the sender name on SMS messages with iOS4. When a alphanumeric originator is used to send an SMS message to an iPhone the sender name often has spaces in it:
For example "Txtlocal" becomes "T xtlocal", "able" becomes "abl e"?
Does anyone know the reason for this, how it can be circumvented or if it is going to be fixed in the next iOS4 release?
Many Thanks,
Marcus

Hi Radu,

Nokia E52 Message Sender Name Field is not updated...

Nokia E52 Message Sender Name/Field is not updated automatically on Firmware 054.003!
Issue 1: Message Sender Name/Field is not updated automatically after changes made in contacts.
e.g. Message send by Mr. A is displayed in inbox, however when same contact changed to Mrs. AB in contacts does not update sender name/field inside inbox. Sender name remains Mr. A physically on handset. However the changes made to contacts and Message Sender Name/Field is updated automatically on use of Nokia PC Suite 7.1.60.0 and Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 but not on phone.

Thanks for sharing the answer here, it is really helpful for others with the similar issue.

Check for duplicates in the phonebook.
I have a N8 .I have recently updated the software and Back up the data. The SMS in my inbox are not showing the sender name. Its just showing the no's of the sender. Please help fix it.

E71 - SMS inbox displays Last name then first name...

Hi, can someone please advise how to make the sender's name in the inbox appear as first name then last name and not the other waay around. thanks.

I'm getting the First Name First and then last name , my phone book settings are also the same , maybe that's the reason as it does pick the name from phone book and will display as it's given . Try changing phone book settings , it may not effect the older SMS but newer ones may come fixed

E66 SMS Inbox List Style

The display style of Nokia E66 Inbox Message List as:
<PhoneNo/SenderName> <MessagePreview> <Date/Time>
The problem is, the columns are too narrow, 3-4 alphabat for <PhoneNo/SenderName>, it could not properly display the full name of sender. Look at the Inbox Message Lis, we can't tell who send SMS to us.
Another, the <MessagePreview> column also too narrow, It just be able to preview the word "The", again, it can't tell which topic of the SMS we received.
http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/large/0526/726814f03d2b465c81895fafb6aeda08.jpg
Any method to change the display style of Nokia E66 Inbox Message List? Like one in Nokia 6120a:
<PhoneNo/SenderName>
<MessagePreview>
There is no column, with 2 rows, clearly display the sender name, and message topic. This is good. Can E66 change to like this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

try the following
Personalisation settingsSelect Menu > Tools > Settings > General >Personalisation.Display settingsTo turn the automatic display rotation on or off, selectDisplay > Display rotation.To select whether you want the image to change to full screenin the landscape mode, select Display > Turn to full view.To define the level of light that the device needs beforeswitching on the backlight, select Display > Light sensor.To change the text size, select Display > Font size.
or here this is probably what you need
Other settingsSelect Menu > Communic. > Messaging > Options >Settings > Other.Select from the following:• Save sent messages — Select whether to store sentmessages in the Sent folder.• Number of saved msgs. — Enter the number of sentmessages to save. When the limit is reached, the oldest
message is deleted.• Memory in use — Select where to save your messages.You can save messages to the memory card only if a
memory card is inserted.• Folder view — Define how you want the messages inInbox to be shown.

Not able to send or receive SMS messages on iMessage on mac

When I first updated to Yosemite the new SMS feature on iMessage was working. I had to replace my home button and screen on my iPhone 5s and after that it stopped working. I am not sure if having that repair done on my phone has anything to do with my above problem. Please help

Hi Ralph,
Thank you for your reply.
Ok, I will try to explain myself better.
When I say:
- Messages, I am talking about the software to send and receive iMessages and SMS.
- iMessage, is the blue bubble
- SMS is the green bubble
Facetime is because if someones callsme and I do not answer quickly on iPhone, and the Macs are using the same network as iPhone, the VoiceCall pops ups and rings, and usually I activate the Facetime option (when is a iPhone). Sorry about this confusion.
So basically, a week ago, I could send and receive SMS, iMessage on my Macs to/from anyone.
Now, I just can send iMessages (blue bubbles with blue name/contact on top [TO:]) and I can't send SMS (text messages, green bubble), I receive error (red exclamation point) and the name/contacts on top [To:] are red.
And as I told, I think it might be because of the new iOS update with iTunes recovery. Because it is the only similar thing I can relate with "loyalchiver" (when an iPhone goes to repair, the restore it.) That's why I tried signout/in in all Macs, but still not working.
About the Text Forwarding function, I had searched and what I was getting was to go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, but this last option didn't appear, so I thought this was because the pages/foruns that I was reading was for the version 8.1 and not 8.1.1 (Apple could change it, I don't know). But while I was trying to put this working, I had rebooted some where and when I saw your reply, I went again there, and I had the Text Message Forwarding option, so all I had to do was activating it. Thank you!
To "labelchiver", I am not sure how I did it, but try this:
1. close all applications running on background.
2. reboot your iphone.
3. go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding .
4. If you can enter there and your mac is linked, unlink it and link it again.
5. Hope it works for you
Once again, thank you for your help and I apologize for my confusions about the labels. Cheers!

Create a subtype for BO SELFITEM
Example : ZSELFWI
Create a method SendWithSender
Tab General : Check Synchronous & Result parameter
Tab Result type : Object type SOFM
Tab ABAP : SWO_INVOKE
Then youll have to copy all the parameter from the original function
SendTaskDescription and add a new one
SENDER(import like PA0105-USRID_LONG)
 Then copy the method SendTaskDescription to the code of SendWithSender
Now youll have to do some modifications to call the copy of the function
SWW_SRV_MAIL_SEND and then delegate ZSELFWI  SELFITEM
And now in your task call the method SendWithSender of Selfitem and bind an address to Sender.

RSWUWFML2 sender name

Hi,
I'm using the RSWUWFML2 report to send mails with WI execution shortcuts. I have programmed a periodic job with a BATCH user for the report execution.
The problem that I'm having is that the mail sender name is obsolete, I've changed the BATCH user's first and last names through T-SU01 and the mails still coming with the previous one. For example, until yesterday the user's name was XXXXX and today the user name is YYYYY. Today the sender name into the incoming e-mail is XXXXX.
Why is this happening? Is there any buffer or something?
Regards.
Gregory.

Thanks for your answer Rick.
I didn't do anything, T-SOST is showing the sender's name wrong. But the incomming e-mail in my inbox has the correct sender's name.
Regards.
Gregory.

Some sender names not showing in Mailbox view, but show in e-mail window

Some of the e-mails I receive instead of having the sender name appear in the From column in my inbox have their e-mail address appear instead. They are people who are in my Address Book with that e-mail address, and their name does appear in the From line in the e-mail itself.
Is there some setting I need to change so that their name appears in the From column instead of their e-mail address? Thanks!

I am seeing very similar behavior. For me, when I view the message in the list of all messages in the InBox window, for a few senders only the e-mail address is displayed. However, when I select that mail message, the person's name is properly displayed in the message viewing panel.
Have you been able to figure out what is going on?

EWS Managed API: Email sender name incorrect if loading properties of multiple emails and several emails have same email address (but different names)

Hi,
I have an issue using the Exchange Web Services Managed API. I'm essentially implementing an 'inbox', and am essentially using two calls:
folder.FindItems(filter, view) with the view set up with the 'idonly' property.
The returns a 'FindItemResults<>' object containing a set of items.
And then calling service.LoadPropertiesForItems(items, props), where the props contains all 'first class properties', which includes the sender details.
Now, the inbox contains several emails from the same email address but with different displaynames.
E.g. There may be one email from "Bob <[email protected]>" and another email from "Alice <[email protected]>" and another email from "Charlie <[email protected]>" etc.
The issue is that in the information that EWS returns from the call to LoadPropertiesForItems, every email ends up with the same sender name (from the first one in the list)!
i.e. When I enumerate through the returned items, the item.Sender.Name will always be"Bob" for every email where Sender.Address is [email protected]
I have debugged this with a http sniffer just to ensure that it really is the EWS coming back with this information rather than anything in the managed layer.
Is this a known issue? How can I work around this (without querying every single email for the sender name individually, as that would be too slow)?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for the reply.
The scenario is that the client receives emails from a (3rd-party) automated system. The email address from this automated system is always "noreply@<blah.com>", while the display name is used to differentiate the actual sender.
I suspect that this kind of system will likely become more widely used, and so for us will increase in priority (obviously its a priority for our client already)!
Just for the record, if this is a known issue do you have a bug number or equivalent for it? (I tried to search but couldn't locate it).

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Assigning a Hotkey to the SMS Inbox

I would like to assign a hotkey (the one with the envelope to be exact) to my SMS inbox. I would like to be able to reach the SMS inbox with one click, but apparently it is not possible. You can assign to "messages" in general but then its two more clicks to the inbox. I know that for a new SMS message an icon with direct link appears but this is not the point here. Is there any hack or maybe 3rd party app to achieve a direct link to the inbox? This question applies to all E series phones I think. Thanks.

I like the previous ideas. A slight variation would be to

"Sender Name is Invalid" (can't send email from POP account) iPhone 2.1

I updated from V2.0.2 to V2.1 today. I also swapped out my original iPhone EDGE for a new iPhone EDGE due to unrelated problems with the speaker.
Upon testing things after restoring from backup to the new phone I discovered that I could no longer SEND email from my POP account. I could receive email just fine on that account. Sending and receiving email on my MobilMe account also worked, as did sending and receiving email via the POP account while on the Mac computer I use to sync with this iPhone.
After digging into this with AppleCare we discovered that somehow the Port Address for the Outgoing Mail Server for that POP account had been changed from 25 to 587 on the iPhone.
Changing it back to 25 fixed my problem.
We don't know whether the problem was due to the 2.1 upgrade or due to something in the restore process after swapping the phones.
If you get the error message "Sender Name is Invalid" while trying to send email from a POP account on your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the line for your POP account.
Now scroll down to the Outgoing Mail Server entry which should show "SMTP" and the name of the outgoing mail server for that POP account. Select that line. This will display a list of servers with your POP account server showing at the top as the Primary Server. Select that line.
In the panel that displays, check the Server Port. If it is something odd like 587, that may be your problem. Select the line and you can edit it to something more normal like 25. Touch the "SMTP" button at the top left of the number entry screen to accept that new value.
We discovered that after correcting that value on the iPhone it STAYS corrected even after doing a new Sync with iTunes, or after MobileMe syncs.

Sorry you had problems Bob.
Depending on the mail service you are using, Port 25 or Port 587 are usually acceptable for outgoing
SMTP mail. Many cafes will block the customary port 25 to prevent spammers from using their
wireless access.
There is a superb tutorial posted here:
http://www.webmail.us/docs/support/Macintosh-OSX-Mail.pdf
Also be sure for each mail account to turn ON the secondary AT&T server shown at the bottom
of the SMTP server list for each account -- it will make your transition from wireless to Edge
to 3G networks much more reliable.
Thanks for sharing what you've learned. Hope this helps.
