SMS and MMS cannot display contact name (E51)

I try to restore a backup file, from my old 3230 and 6670, via Nokia PC Suite into my newly bought E51, everything work just fine.
But I noticed that the sender of SMS and MMS in E51 [inbox] only display in number(e.g. '+601********'), instead of sender name as in [contacts](e.g. 'Michael'). Even I select the text message, choose [options] > [Add to Contacts] > [Create New]/[Update existing], it won't work, neither with the country code (+601*******) or without (01********). (note: I'm very sure that phone number is not duplicated in the contact).
Somehow, a good news is, any sms or mms received from the network provider can display the sender name according to [contacts], and it store as it even after I deleted the saved item in [contact] or rename the entry. Ha ha, a bit complicated compare to the S60v2 phone...
Anyone have idea on this?

Hi there,
my E66 has the exact same problem. IN addition when in coming calls come in, they don't show the contact name. It only shows the number. I think it may hae to do with new contacts added after contacts from your old phone were added. I also notice that my old contacts transferred to the phone doesn't have the extra menu 'syncronisation'.

  • Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

    Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

    You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through.  The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card. 
    Try this and see if it helps:  turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes.  Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.

  • Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000  contacts are not listed

    Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

    The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
    Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list.  It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it.  You need to add a few names.

  • SMS and MMS issues with Z10

    Every since I updated my phone (10.1.0.4181), my SMS and MMS have been failing. My SMS will often freeze on one conversaton for up to half an hour and won't let me type or move to a different conversation, though I can go back to the hub or access my apps. Clicking on a different conversation just takes me back to the one that it froze on. Sometimes the entire conversation area is just grey and I can't see anything. My MMS will not send at all, every time that I try it just fails and says "General Problems". When I try to receive them a download button pops up, but when I click on it the button just disappears and nothing happens. I have tried rebooting the phone and pulling the battery, neither has helped. I have tried turning the data off an on again (with a reboot in between) at the suggestion of someone else, but still without success. Everything else in the Hub functions properly, just not my SMS or MMS. Help!

    I am having this exact same problem, as well as my contacts list has been scrambled so that the names and numbers no longer match. The phone worked excellent until I updated to 4181 which has completely ruined the useability of my phone.
    If Bell gave you a fix for it PLEASE SHARE.

  • Can't access my work email and any sms and mms

    I have a blackberry storm 2 9550. I have 2 email accounts set up on it, my work email and my home email. I also have an icon for sms and mms messages. They are separate accounts and up until yesterday they were working fine. Now both email account icons show my home emails when depressed. Also the sms and mms icon show my home emails as well. Now if I lightly touch my work email icon, it displays the correct work email address but when I depress it it displays my home email address and home emails. What a glitchy device. I would like to view my work emails which is why I got the blackberry. Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • 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.

  • How to import sms and mms data from 6600 to N73

    Hi to all, I'm trying to import all my old data on my nokia 6600, to my new N73 ME, fw rel V 3.0368.0.0.30, because I don't like the idea to lose all my sms and mms from the old phone. I encountered a lot of problems. First thing, the transfer apps only leaves to import via bluetooth and so on data like contacts and multimedia. So I tried to copy from dir mail of the mmc of Nokia 6600 to the dir mail2 under hidden folder Private on the mini sd of my new N73. What happens? In the first moment it seems all ok, because when I switch under sms to memory cards, the N73 read all the sms like they were on phone. But first of all, it doesn't see the mms, it see only the title, but when I open them it gives me error. This doesn't happens with sms, that are all ok. The problem is that when I turn off the phone, it doesn't turn on anymore, it hangs until I've to remove the mini SD. After many tries, I've understood that maybe the problem is with the file index in mail2 folder. Someone has any idea or have tried to import sms and mms from his old Nokia phone to the new N73 and so could help me? Thanks.

    have u actually tried to connect the 6600 with the latest PC suite to see what happens?
    if that fails, maybe have a look at the Oxygen Phone Manager software and see if they offer a free trial. i know i used to use OPM before nokia updated there PC suite to work with my 3230Message Edited by rich_enduro on 02-Jan-2007

    You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

  • Can I recover sms and mms messages if I have never backed up my iphone?

    Hello,
    I am completely new to the Apple family and am having a hard time understanding how the initial backup to iCloud affects my deleted iMessages, SMS, and MMS correspondences. I want to recover a group of SMS and MMS conversations that my toddler deleted...I know...I know - so green I did not even initiate the lock screen. To be honest, we don't lock devices in our home. I have never backed-up/signed into iCloud from my iphone. I keep seeing posts about texts/pic not being "really" deleted as some can find them in a search. Is it possible to recover these at all without using thrid party software? Some part of me believes that becasue I have never backedup my phone, the deleted data is just waiting to be "dumped" into iCloud...maybe that is the illogical and sleep deprived part. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If you “Synced” your iPhone "SMS" to iTunes and/or backup to the cloud, you may be able to recover messages from an iPhone SIM Card. I use a program called iOS data recovery that will take the text messages from the backup and allow you to restore them and/or back them up to an external application.
    Restore from iTunes backup:
    Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the PC/Mac
    Step 2: Open iTunes
    Step 3: Click on Devices tab
    Step 4: Right-click on the iPhone that’s connected and click ‘Backup’
    Step 5: Note that this will effectively remove all old information on your iPhone and get the backup data on your iPhone. If you had backed up sms too in your previous iTunes backup, those will be restored to the iPhone and you should mostly recover that deleted sms messages now.

  • E51 doesn't display contact names (no duplicates)

    Hi y'all,
    I've been using using my E51 for about 2 years, and it suddenly stopped displaying the contact names for SMS messages.
    There are no duplicates in the contact list.
    The thing is, it's started when I synced my phone with Ovi online.
    Could anybody find a solution for this ?
    It's quite annoying not having the names of the contacts ...

    well it has to be the names the phone can only identify one number to a name so you will have to make new names for the contacts ie john and john 1 and stored seperatly,you need to check for duplicate contacts again and what memory your using your phone book in either the phone or sim memory
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
