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

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???

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

After Alcatel OS update from v1.0.1 to v1.1.0.0, the phone doesn`t show phonebook names for incoming/missing calls!

Hi! I have very unpleasant problem with my phones after legal OS update! After Alcatel OT Fire OS update from v1.0.1 to v1.1.0.0, the phone stops to show contacts names and pics for incoming calls and names for missing calls from phonebook. Before update, everything worked just fine! People from Telenor Serbia obviously hadn`t solution for this problem. They send me a request to send them a phones (yes two phones with same problem), but I got a phones back with unsolved problem! Also in the datas about phone, OS, e.t.c, the phone number doesn`t exist any more, just blank field. If means something, the phones are with different hardware revisions, 11 and 12! Any solution for this problem?! Thanks!

Hello,
After reading the information provided about your issue I suggest a soft reset of the phone.
#Take the back cover of the phone off.
#Take the battery out.
#Take the SIM card and microSD card out (if applicable).
#Wait 10 seconds.
#Put the SIM card and microSD card back in (if applicable).
#Put the battery back in.
#Put the back cover back on.
#Turn the device on.
#Check if the issue you were having is still present.
Please report back to us if this solved your problem!

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.

TS2755 why is Messages now showing phone numbers instead of contact names. any ideas?

why is Messages now showing phone numbers instead of contact names. any ideas?

Check to see if you have contacts in your Contacts app. This is something that can happen sometimes, and is usually cured by resetting the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. No data will be lost.

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 won't show notifications on my home screen or lock screen for text messages

My phone won't show notifications for text messages on my lock screen or my home screen, even thought both are turned on under the settings. Once I go into the messaging app, they will show up as new but not anywhere else. I get notifications for everything else except text messages.

Messages should work with the email address that you use for your Apple ID. You have to be signed into that email address in order for any other email address that you have added to work.
You should add your iPhone number to your Apple ID on the iPad, and then select that as the contact address at which you can be reached and all of the messages between the phone and the iPad will sync again.

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.

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.

My Messaging displays contact phone numbers instead of contact names. This just started happening and I do not recall changing any settings. How do I restore to display contact names again?

Make sure the numbers are assigned to a contact.
