NOKIA E63 WON'T SHOW CONTACT NAMES WHEN THEY SEND ...

I just bought the Nokia E63, and have tried everything in my power to solve the issue that, when i recieve a text message it doesn't show who it's from - it just shows their mobile number. This is so annoying and has been bugging me for hours on end. I have all my contacts saved on my sim card. Please help me!

Nokia E63 doesn't show contact from your SIM card in the phone directory directly.
You need to manually "view SIM directory" to see them.
Better you copy all the contacts from your SIM card to Phone Memory.
Then you can choose/type in the name & type message & send it.
Ya one thing is really irritating which is that even if you type the number instead of the name of a person who's entry exists in the contact list, the phone still shows the number rather then the name of the person after sending the message.
Nokia...Are you listening???

  • Phone won't show contact name in recents list

    Phone won't show contact name while somebody call me, the same is in recent list under number is unknown. I already reset my phone and try to make new contact when somebody called me and it isn't work. 

    you have entered the number in the wrong format. There should be no zeros.  IF you were entering my number then that would be +617 XXXX XXXX with the + being the international dial out code and 61 being the country code  7 the area code without leading zeros and rest being my number.
    If someone wanted to call me from insider the country but from another state they would dial 07 XXXX XXXX but the international dialing format would still work.  Note that the 0 in the area code is not used in the international dialing format

  • 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.

    This may be an error caused by the update. You can try to sync your contact information with iCloud and backup the rest of your data and then restore the device and see if it starts to work normally again.

  • 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.)

  • 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.

  • Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

    Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

    This happened to me and I was baffled for a bit.  I went to my contact list and that contact (that was now a number) had disappeared.  Then, multiple contacts started disappearing.  Subsequently, they reappeared but in duplicate and sometimes triplicate.  I believe that it had something to do with iCloud sync.  I ended up removing the contacts (in settings) and then bringing them back in.  Everything seemed to work after that.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?

    Is my name even sent when I send text messages?  If so, is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?  When sending a text message, I would like to only display my phone number.

    is it possible for the sender not to have my name in there contacts... and just typed my number?..
    It is possible for the recipent not to have your name for your number in their address book for your contact info, but the recipent must do that.
    So does that mean just my number will show when i send a text to the person using an android  phone?
    If the recipient does not have your name with your phone number in their address book for your contact info.
    Have you ever received a text from a phone number that is not in your address book? If so, what do you see? You should see the phone number only. The same applies for someone you are sending a text to.

  • Whenever I am sending a MSG from my iPhone 4s to friends who don't have I phone or I device my smiley(emoji) seen to be square to them and when they send MSG to me with a smiley my iPhone shows :-) ;-p like symbols. Please help I want to receive smiley

    Whenever I am sending a MSG from my iPhone 4s to friends who don't have I phone or I device my smiley(emoji) seen to be square to them and when they send MSG to me with a smiley my iPhone shows :-) ;-p like symbols. Please help I want to receive smiley from my friend

    I think you answered your own question. As your friends phones are not iPhones, but maybe Nokia or Android the smiley will appear as a different character or box. Thew only way to fix this would be to send a basic smile using the basic keyboard so that your friends will receive it as a smile and you will when they reply. Or ask your friends to check if the phones they are using have the emoji type keyboard available and ask them to update their phones. This will show the smiley when they reply to you.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.
