No idea what you are talking aboud. Post a picture or describe in detail.

I got that on my previous phone if the number was stored with the interbnational dialing code instead of a 0
eg for uk number would be stored with contact as +44797... and the caller_id number would be 0797...
I changed my numbers to start with the 0 and it all worked
Or was it the other way round ???

RANDOM phone sending dialling

Hi i have a artemis and its being fine untill i went to orange as my service provider and now its sending a copy off all texts to a random number and dialled it a few times the number is not a contact,this is someones actual number who is getting pretty miffed, ive tried a soft re-set and since installed a new ROM the problem is still at large, any one else had similar problems the sent items folder shows contact name and when clicked brings up this guys number and not the contacts.. any help would be appreciated.

Help please, sms problem in thread mode!

Hi, tried to search for this, I need some help please.
Using WM6.1 stock euro ROM.
1. When I reply to a text by tapping it it comes up as a thread conversation with that contact I received the text from.
2. I write my text and hit send.
3. Sometimes it works but a lot of the time the message is not sent.
Sometimes it says "Your message could not be sent" but sometimes nothing.
4. Check all messages > draft and there it is but the phone number of the recipient is changed from 07XX XXX XXX to 447XX XXX XXX and not with the plus sign
5. I double check the contact info and it is saved as 07XX, I tried saving it as 00447XX and +447XX but no luck.
So please has anyone come across this bug in the software or could it be operator related?
Sorry if the post is confusing I don't know how to explain this properly.
Cheers
Hi,
I had the same problem with my stock 6.1 rom (I've just changed to official 6.5, but not teste though).
Don't know why it doesn't work ... to send texts I'm just using the winmo text thing (access by the keyboard) and it works perfectly ...
Thanks for the reply, yes I have had to use that way around it as well. I really would like it to work tho, have no problem with this sending to International numbers from the UK. It only happens when sending to UK numbers while in the UK.

[Q] Contacts Problem

Hello,
I'm using my desire HD for quite some time now, but i've never had this problem before. When i'm opening the contacts app (if i can call it that way) and then press on the picture of someone and press call or send text message it uses the wrong number and it never did this wrong before does anyone know how to change this?
Thanks in advance!

The number that it puts do you recognize it? Can it be the number of search of the contact? Or is it a random number?
Have you you checked your contacts list in your google account?
Entering from to PC into gmail account
Do click in the paragraph "contacts" above at the left of the mail page

if you´ve checked your google account &
are you sure about you don´t have various numbers in one contact i don´t know what´s the problem
Check on the gmail website and double check a few of the numbers.....make sure there aren't duplicates from a bad sync (i.e. same numbers appearing under home and mobile for instance)
If it all looks fine, I would wipe and let it re-sync.....
I have worked with contact sync apps in an enterprise environment and always found them to be "a bit dodgy" at best.

Well i've checked it yes. The phone numbers are correct. I'm using HTC Sense btw. And what do you not get about my problem? When i click on someones picture in the contacts app i can choose different stuff to do like call or send text message. I do send text message it goes to the wrong number how do i change that.

mmm... you are perfectly understandable (since the first post) AND I´M GETTING THAT YOU ARE SAYING...but i sent to you 3 possible things that can provoke your problem... if anything works THEN I DO NOT KNOW THAT IT CAN GO BADLY...
Have you tried going on the contact details page, holding down on the number you want to text or call, then choose Set as primary number?

[Q] Text messages containing numbers

Hey guys,
Ive got a small irrite with my desire, if I recieve a Text message from my voice mail client, it will display the number of the caller who left the message, but will not refer to the name of the caller if the number is stored in my phone book.
Does anyone know how to do a work around for this or is there an app outthere that I just cant find?
I had this, too. For me a reboot solved the problem.
The names have never shown up...
It looks like the android system does not reference known numbers as the name stored in the phone book.
Ie.
You have 1 new voice message.
The last message was received
from +27xxxxxxxxxx
If my SE P1i knew the number it would show the name of the contact, not the number.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well it will either include the number in the message or show it as coming from that number(mine does both).
If your voice mail does the latter, it will of course show up with the right name. If the number is just included in the message, however, it will not look it up for you.
There is a workaround, as chompsms recently added this feature to swap phone numbers in messages, if you have the name stored in you phonebook And it is working perfectly from here.
Thanks Mortenmph...
but do i have to change my sms app entirely, or does it intergate with htc's message apk?
When the name not shown then set the permission with adb-shell:
adb shell chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
Thanks Michael,
All I have in that folder is the Facebook contact images, ??? - will I get the same effect as I did running chompsms?
Followed your advice, but nothing has changed....
Anybody able to help here???
Yes you will have to update the messaging app or make htc add the functionality to theirs...
It's all about how the app is programmed to show the text message, HTC's app shows it as is without looking at the content, and chomp search for numbers and replace them. You should be fine with chomp though it's got some vwery decent features over the original one.

Redmi Note 5 Contact Issues

Hi Everyone, I was wondering any of you would be able to help me with an issue I've been having. I recently purchased a redmi note 5 phone and have been using it the past week and I have come across a problem that is really bothering me. If I send a text to a new contact that I have put in my phone the phone will recognize them and display their name in the text thread however if someone sends a text to me first and I try to put their name in the phone as a new contact their number will show up in the texts instead of their name. Then I click on the text their name will pop up in the message but then it reverts back to showing the number when I back out of the text. The only solution I have found is deleting the message and the person's contact number and resending them a text after I have saved their contact name and number again. If anyone is able to help me with this problem I would be so grateful.
Thank You,
