Anyone else had this problem? Text from T-Mobile is listed as from one of my contacts (and not from T Mobile). I checked the afrementioned contact's details and none alludes to the fact that I have accidentally include 150 into her details etc
lol same here mate.
Think it's a bug and t-mob f*****d up with their OS lol
I had the same, was listed as someone I hardly talk to on Facebook. Just removed the friend and worked itself out.
Same here, pulled someone off FB!
............
Same here, was my nephew from Facebook!!!
Have complained to T-Mobile along with the lack of complimentary movie rentals (imei issues, apparently!!).

SAME HERE!
I'm not too fussed though ...
Guys
I am assuming that you are getting these problems even after customising the 'View' option of the People widget. Otherwise you can customise the list even further there.

If you sign-in to Facebook, it will pull your FB contacts and link them with your regular contact book.
Also, you might have an option to save unknown numbers after the call and that's why 150 is appearing in your contacts.
As the saying goes... RTFM
How do I remove ALL my FB contacts I only want the one's that I have Google Contacts for and manually link?
Just happened to me also.
Weird??????
Just happened to me when I got my Flext allowence text but its not an issue with just the tmobile rom, mines a sim free desire from carphone warehouse and still does it so its a bug with the desire, had to delete the facebook contact and it sorted itself out.
Had this also - check the contact that its matching against and see if they've got a wonky phone number on their facebook profile, something with letters in it. Mine had 'ask me' as the phone number and it seemed to match on that.

Same. My contact has ask me as her mobile number ugh.
Hey, if I create a contact with what I know is their number, and then link it with their facebook (which has a different number on it), the facebook number takes priority over the number I manually put in, and I can't seem to send a message to the REAL number. any fixes? this is using the people app btw.
anyone?
I don't understand but sometimes the Contact Names decided to appear and other times they don't. Like take for example my friend Curt, he sent me an SMS but the name didn't come up, only his number starting in +44, then about an hour later his name mysteriously appeared again. In the Call Log this is also happening where number are shown but not the name.
Could this be somehow to do with the phone not recognizing number starting in '0' and '+44' because I think all the contacts I have on my WhatsApp, this does not happen with them and that's because WhatsApp saves them as +44.
I can't really go through and change all my contacts numbers to +44 but that might not even be the issue. Does someone have a clue. Any help would be MUCH appreciated as often I don't even know who it is that called me or texted me.
Thanks.

I have flashed this custom ROM onto my new Defy+ as per Walter79s instructions and it is all working fine apart form a few small problems that I haven't been able to find a solution to. I have used search in both Walter79s thread with it's thousands of replies and in the defy forums search and drawn a blank in both.
1. My contacts do not seem to be synced with my SMS, instead of showing a contact it shows a number e.g. +447xxxxxxxxx instead of Boss or Wife or Mother-in-Law!!!. Quite annoying as barely anyone ever signs a text.
2. Any contact (synced from my Blackberry through google sync) who has a photo attached to their gmail account seems to have Chinese characters above their number when viewed in the dialer. Not really an issue just a funny little bug.
3. An aside to this Chinese characters is that when I first installed the ROM a few other things had these characters too. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is the calendar which had the dates both in numbers and Chinese characters. Went away after I reset the location.
Edit: 4. The SMS compose bar is tiny. Is this in anyway adjustable.
I am very new to android but Walter79s MS2Ginger installation guide and Zephyrot's All-in-One have got me through rooting annd flashing on my first custom ROM. Just hope that an ICS/CM9 stable ROM isn't too far away.
Thanks.
I have been searching high and low for this issue and it appears not to be uncommon but with out any definitive fix. I have played around with a number of things, changing all the 07s to +447s just meant that SMS contacts were recognised but callers were not. I also tried a couple of prefix apps, these did work but only showed you the caller in a 3rd party bubble not on the main display. Tried setting IP prefix to 0044 but this made no difference as I believe it is for outgoing calls only. I haven't managed to find a fix for it but there does seem to be a couple of work arounds.
1. You can double up on all your contacts e.g. have both 07123456789 and +447123456789 listed under the same contact. A right pain with so many numbers. Also tried exporting and "find and replace" 07 with +44, this lead to some interesting numbers where the 07 was in the middle!
2. Live with the prefixer app so you can see who is calling and SMS contacts. OK but not great for missed calls or call logs to clients or colleagues.
3. Live with it or go back to the original Defy+ ROM. Rather not as that MotoBlur thing got right on my wick.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Update: Using my Sherlock Holmes like powers of deduction I have managed to find the source of this problem. My contacts book only appears to be using a max of 11 digits to identify numbers. It will recognise 07xxxxxxxxx but not +447xxxxxxxxx. However if I change the number that is saved to 47xxxxxxxxx the contact is recognised. I'm going to try re-flashing the ROM to see if it's just an error that occurred during instillation. If this doesn't work I will try a different ROM.
I am wondering whether my baseband setting might have any connection to this? It is currently EPU93_U_00.60.00 but there are several UK specific options in my baseband selector. None for my provider (Vodaphone) so I am a bit cautious of changing this.
Once again any ideas would be gratefully received.
Flashed MS2Ginger2.1 with deblur patch. Working great. Thanks Walter79! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
I'd say 30% of my contacts have been messed up since the latest AT&T update a few weeks ago. Here is whats going on...
I get a call and it says it's from one of my contacts, lets say Tom Smith, but it is actually from Sally Jones. The name says Tom Smith but the phone number belongs to Sally. I end the call and view contact. It shows Tom's name but Sally's phone number. Sometimes It shows Tom and Sallys phone number under the same contact! It's like it took some of my contact names and their phone numbers and addresses and mixed them all around.
Maybe unrelated but for years now, over half of my contacts have multiple entries in my contact list for some reason. For example I might have John Adams listed 7 or 8 times in my address book but only one of them has his phone number and address in it. I only ever knew one John Adams and only added him once to my contact list.
Is there a easy fix for ALL this?
I don't think I have my contacts synced to any account except maybe AT&T. I have several hundred contacts that I only have saved on my phone and really don't want to go into each one and verify that is their correct information. In fact I would have to call many of them to verify their info because what I have is all mixed.
Thanks...
