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.

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?
Please save a poor woman from getting unwanted texts
I run a junior football squad.
One of the 'soccer mums' originally gave me a wrong mobile number starting 07940 ... which resulted in a poor woman getting lots of texts from me.
I corrected the number on the contact to 07540 ...
If I send a text directly the text goes to 07540 ...
If I reply to a text from 07540... the text actually goes to the 07940 number
If I try and dial 07940... then it comes up with no suggested numbers/contacts. When I receive a text from the poor pestered woman it still comes up with the contact name.
So. I tried deleting the contact (John Smith) and recreated it using a different name (John S). I can no longer find a John Smith in my contacts (even when ticking all the sources to look in - GMAIL, FBOOK etc).
However Gesture Search still finds a John Smith somewhere I have refreshed the index and even reinstalled gesture search but it still finds a John Smith.
Also the SMS thread containing a variety of the 07540 and 07940 numbers all now say they are from JOHN S.
Im confused but the woman receiving rogue texts is getting very p****d off.
Anyone ???
Is it possible that the rogue number is synchronised to your Gmail account, so even if you delete it, it will resync to your phone? Check your gmail account for that number.
Also go to the good number and make sure it's not linked to the rogue one.
Tried that. The contact john smith isn't on my gmail at all. The only place I can find it is using gesture search
Worst come to worst, Settings > Privacy >Factory data reset.
have you tried changing the default number in use in the people app?
Hey guys, having a small issue with my phone at the moment. I've got a load of contacts in my phonebook. All loaded from their Facebook information.
Every time I try to dial any of these numbers, I get the "sorry this number has not been recognised error". Now before you go jumping to conclusions and say stuff like "they've entered the wrong number on FB" "it's an old number and they haven't updated their FB" or anything like that. Let me say, that manually dialling the exact same number, doesn't result in the error message. I can dial them fine from my landline and other handsets.
I have a suspicion I know what's causing the issue but I'm at a loss as to how to resolve it. The numbers from Facebook all seem to get modified with an 'international mobile dialling code' (or something, in my case +44 for UK).
So instead of showing as 07*********** it's showing as 44**********.
So my guess is the way FB is formatting these numbers is somehow confusing my phone, but I don't seem to be able to edit these numbers to the 07 version.
Any idea how I can get this sorted? Preferably without asking my 50+ contacts to check their formatting on FB
Thanks!
Multiple threads on this, it's a Facebook thing - unsync them and they'll be fine
Sorry if this has been answered, I've searched around but cannot find anything of the sort (if I am not searching hard enough, I apologise in advance.)
So I've been using the Galaxy Nexus hardcore for a while and I'm impressed by everything. Battery life is highly impressive and the screen is brilliant. The ONLY problem I'm having is that sometimes I get an SMS and the contact name does not come up, which is annoying as I then have to reply "Whose number is this" blah blah.
Anyway, the number is saved on my phone, but when the Contact Name is not displayed the number is +44xxxx xxxxx and I have the option to add that number, so it seems the phone is not recognizing that +44 number? Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? It's getting a bit annoying with the Contact Name not coming up. If I reboot the phone the Contact Name is displayed on the conversation again :/
Ok so this is happening in the call log too. The number is showing but not the contact, but it only happens for a few of them and only sometimes. Anything i could do or steps I could try to get them to show up? Quite annoying not knowing who is who.
Thanks in advance.
