Hello,
I've got Artemis with black&blue v4.0. The problem is that it it stopped showing names from contacts with call history (currently show names for about last 24hours only). Also when I'm entering into specific contact history there are no listed calls which doesn't have names with call history. (i.e. someone called me 5 times with exactly the same number and last 2 calles show names for item, and other ones doesn't.)
What could be a reson of that? And how to fix that?
Thanks.

I have just purchase the above PDA (ROM:1.56.721.3 dated 29.08.07) with radio version 1.27.2.11. When I receive a local call from contact, the name of the caller does is not displayed. Only the phone number (7 digits). However, when I receive an SMS, the name of the same caller is displayed. If I remove the country code in the contact number and leave the local number only, then the name of the caller is displayed. In that case, the name is not displayed when I receive and SMS from that contact. Can you please help?
I've got the same problem. After upgrading I imported all my contacts from outlook and the phone doesn't display contact name on receiving a call.
I created a contact using the phone contacts app and that is recognised when it is called.
Something different between an imported contact and one created using WM6 contact app?
Anybody know what is going on here?

when i go to my call history, 95% of my calls, made or received, come up as unknown! it is pissing me off. all the numbers that are showing up as unkown are number that are stored in my contacts. when the call is made or received the name and picture show up. but a couple of days later it is switched and is shown as a unknown caller! i heard it may have something to do with active sync,, but iam not sure of that. on all my other wm devices this has never happened.
please give me some feed back
anybody else notice this?
sorry, don't have an answer but same problem here.
i second the pissing of the offness.
my unknowns seem to be happening for no reason at all as well.
Unknown numbers can be down to three factors (also on many other WinMo devices).
1, You have the same number duplicated in Contacts under different spelling causing a search error.
2, You have synced Outlook with another software (ie. Nokia or Samsung) that causes slight changes in the Outlook Database. (This can also cause "+" to be omitted from numbers when synced.
3, Not using the latest Activesync software in XP.
Solution I found is to erase all contacts in Outlook (they will remain in the deleted items folder for restore so if all fails you can transfer them back). Edit items in the phone so all are tidy with no duplicates. Then resync.
It's none of those things for me. It just says unkown during the call. If I click View Contact, it'll go to the correct contact in the address book.

Its None of those for me as well. I just noticed this and yes the contacts are stored in my phone correctly. Hope someone comes up with a solution soon. The call history feature is effectively useless this way... except of course, you have a super brain and can remember all your numbers!
iam the original poster of this problem and also for me these aren't the problems, i try it out and still the same thing, contacts are stored, but still shown unknown number in the call history, that is located in the home tab of touch flo
I've noticed that when my phone is ringing, caller ID works fine and displays the person's name and contact picture. But as soon as I answer the call, it sometimes says "unknown" (though I just received a call and it displayed properly).
I synced my contacts with my exchange server via direct push, not Activesync. And I don't have any dupes.
It just seems like caller ID is a bit on the wonky side...
I also checked dupes and other things.
It can't figure out the pattern.
I called someone today who's phone number I know is in another contact record but it showed the correct call.
Then sometimes I get the "unknown".

This is exactly what I see on my tilt2 as well. I can see who is calling, I answer, and then when I pull the phone away from my ear to hit the end call button it says "unknown caller". The caller information DOES show up in my call history, so the only time I am seeing this problem is during the call.
Here are 4 HTC touch pro 2 bugs that I am aware of.
The first one, HTC is aware of and working on a fix(for the last 4 months)
1. Announce incoming calls does not work. (settings, all settings, voice command,phone,options)
2. If you send one text to 2 people, the sent text only shows up in one of the 2 person's thread in the touch flo 3d.(it still shows up in both people thread's in windows mobile thread, go to text messages, all messages, select thread)
3. The phone wakes up to show new text messages, leaving it open to make unwanted calls(if its in your purse or pocket)
4. When adding a new contact phone number doesn't always automatically add parenthesis, spaces, and dashes so a number in your contacts list will look like 3236155555 instead of instead of (323) 615-5555. If you add the number from your call history the parenthesis, dashes, spaces will be added correctly.
anyone know of any edits or hacks to fix any of these(and that are confirmed to work on the touch pro 2)
I don't know about the first 2 but for the third one, it doesn't happen to me. I changed the settings in such a way that the phone doesn't show a message so it doesn't wake up (Look up the seetings in the sound section), and even if it does i use the auto lock which means its gonna be locked and in 1 minute the screen goes off so its OK.
It might be an idea to mention which version of the touch pro 2 you have, and which ROM you're using.

Im using original touchflo3d rom that came with the phone on Sprint.
ROM:1.21.651.3
I tried the fix mentioned above about Not displaying new messages on the screen, but my phone still wakes up, now it just doesn't display the message.
I do not have my phone locked.
Of courise if the phone is locked it will not place calls, show new texts, or open programs without the unlock code. But typing a 4 digit code before calling someone, checking the time, or seeing a text is annoying. They dont allow 1 digit lock codes, or even 4 0's, or numbers in sequence.
I'm sure the lock would be useful for many people, but for me it's too much.
Can I also add a 4rth bug.
when adding numbers to your contacts the phone doesn't always automatically add parenthesis, spaces, and dashes.
So a number in your contacts list will look like
3236155555
instead of
(323) 615-5555
not a big deal(you can add the parenthesis and dashes and spaces manually) but still annoying.
if you add the number from your history it will do it right, but if you create a new contact and enter the number it will show it as a series of numbers with no spaces,parenthesis, or dashes.
My HTC TP2, WM Prof 6.1 has stopped showing some contact names on phone calls and texts. I think it is only out of area code numbers - although some out of town numbers do show the contact name. I think (sorry for all the "I think") all my area code numbers do show the the contact names. It may have all started when I deleted all my SIM contacts and moved them to Outlook Contacts, or when I turned Touch Flow 3D.
Do I have to add a "1" before the number in my contacts. The incoming out of area code phone numbers do have the "1".

easy test... when you get a phone call from someone who you KNOW is in your contact list but its not showing their photo and name etc when they call at the end of the call use the number they called you on and replace it in your phonebook... the next time they call you'll know what has to be different. If when they call it's in a different format or an extra number at the start etc.
That'd be where I would start!
I know on my set up if the number isn't associated with a contact it will ask me if I want to save the number to my phone book or add to an existing contact. If you dont get that pop up then you'll just have to do it manually.

You need to update your profile and signature to tell us more about what carrier you use and what version of ROM your phone has.
I'm on T-Mobile, and a "1" is not required for dialing.
Hi in my country Lebanon ,mobile numbers starts with 03 or 70 or 71 than the 6 digit contact number.. the problem is that my HTC desire doesn't show SMS sender name upon receiving sms sent from senders that starts with 03(local sms), instead showing the sender number.I am having this sender in my contact list. There is no issues while receiving international SMS or senders with phone numbers starting with 70 or 71.
But when the same person calls me, its displaying the caller name correctly.
What would be the reason?
I tried the adding the country code +961 to the contacts, but if i do that, the sms problem disappear BUT call receiving stopped showing caller name - only number is shown.
One thing i noticed is, while receiving SMS, the sender number is preceded by country code(+961) while receiving a call only caller number is there.
a temporary workaround is to add 2 numbers for each contact: when with the country code +961 and another one without it.. but it is frustrating if u have hundreds off contacts
My iphone had the same problem but it was fixed easily by downloading a program "Caller Id fix, i think this is due to the number of digits in the phone number it seems.the device needs minimum 8 digits and it doesn't consider the zero in 03 as a digit!
Any help?
I am in Lebanon too and I have the same problem.
Since we have the (03) area code, the matching fails on it because the phone number would be 1 digit less than the configured matching preset in Android.
This sucks big time. I've read on all forums, and there's no fix. I tried asking in htc-linux chat room, and no one answers We're doomed lol..
I'm on Android 2.2 by the way, and the problem is still there.
Apple fixed this on iPhone it by adding a database of countries and specifying the matching preset for each country. Android = no
Same problem here, there must be a way. Perhaps modifying some XML in Android root?
Same problem here. no solution yet.
Only workaround is to Backup ur google contacts (CSV), edit them in Excel so that you would have 2 numbers for each contact, then re-import into google.
Even with hundreds of contacts it should not take you more than 10 minutes.
Hopefully this would be fixed soon.
i am using handcent sms. it is a good temprorary solution. it shows contact names correctly..
But I would like to see a solution for the built in sms application from htc

Hi Guys,
Anyone found a solution for this issue. I am on HTC Desire HD and still have the problem.In addition if you store the number as 9613xxxxxx then the name will not be shown when someone calls in.
Apparently it's a problem only with HTC since Samsung Android doesn't have this problem.
Thanks
Are you all on custom software? Have you recently flashed a new ROM??
I had the same issue once, where I hadn't restored Contacts from Titanium properly, so all SMS I received did not show sender ID.
Just a thought...
