contacts names - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

hi all,
since buying this nexus i find new things very annoying.
press handset icon
call log appears
click any number and you see a message icon right of number and on top the name of contact
click message icon
in message editor some contacts no name only number appearing
how to fix it?
regards

I don't get the question. Are you saying from the contacts app/call log sending a message from their contact page gives you only the number when you send a message and not the name also? If so, mine is fine, always has been. You might need to re-sync your contacts and try again. If I missed the point, apologies
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

contacts
my contacts are sync with gmail.
1- press call log
2- select any name you dialed or received a call
3- click on message icon on right
4- text editor appears but at times only number is on top
please see attached pix.
regards,

Artemis Toch Features changes needed

Hi,
I don't like the treaded sms and also the fact that If I have a message from an unknown number, the same number is listed as a part of the Pocket CM contact list. Is there a workaround to this problems.
I don't want threaded messages and listing of messages phone number in my contact list.
Help

The second part i don't understand sorry.
Cheers
...or settings in Advance Tool Settings
Let me explain the second problem.
I received a message (maybe promotional message) from an unknown sender (someone who is not part of my contact list). Once I have received this message and its part of my message inbox. Now this number from where I have received the message is listed in my contact list with a number of messages received in the contact list. This is one feature that i don't want.

Thanks to Meshle! Be strong Brother!
Thanks a lot - That will be really helpfull.
I've installed the lite version (without cube) and just wondering if I can change the keyboard when texting, I find the individual keys a bit too small, wonder if a different style keyboard is out there?. Also when writing out the 1st line of the text and upon reaching the end of the screen it does not scroll to the 2nd line but continues across with loss of text already typed to the left...any ideas how it can be resolved?
Thanks

Text Messages (1)

Anyone else having this problem? I deleted all my text messages and the header still says Text Messages (1) as if there is 1 unread one... ????!?!
Not sure exactly...When I get a text and read it but don't want to delete it stays on the topbar. I have to go back to text messages page on the panel and scroll on it again. It will usually then remove it from the topbar. If you don't need the text message just delete it and it also is removed from the topbar on homescreen. I don't know if thats what you are having issues with but that's not the end of the world for myself.
I'm using WM6.1. It has the threaded text message strings. After i go into a message/conversation and read the text message it should remove the (1) from the top bar signifying no unread messages. I've read all my messages and even went as far as deleting them all but the (1) still persists!
Did you try to restart the phone like turn it off and back on... Also check your MMS maybe you have some message that was unread in there... Check it out and get back if this does not fix it...
Go to your registry and check the value there, look in : HKCU\System\State\Messages, and look in sms or wherever and check the count, if at 1 then set it to 0.
Also, remember the message is not "Read" if you just view without responding.
if you dont respond, you need to <- out of it....not hitting the home key or cancel or whatever.
that is the only thing that works for me.
I have a similar problem, when I view a text message it is not marked read immediately, and home screen shows the mail icon. To get over this problem, I do the following: after reading a message, I press Menu->Close instead of just pressing the BACK button.

nooooooooooooooooo i can't seem to do anything to get rid of it! i delete all the messages and even after that reset the registry key stated by showaco and after a restart it still shows [email protected] ARGghghhghghg
Could it be an unread message stored in another folder such as Drafts or Trash?
Unfortunately not
I checked each folder and went as far as emptying them all
Listen, i try to explain how to do:
go to : Start-settings-accessibility- sms inbox threating -and make it :disable
then
to go: start-celetask and close text messages
open text messages and view if you have messages unread...
and make sms inbox threating enable
close another time text messages with celetask and im sure thats is ok
i m so sorry for my english
Solution Halleleujuah!!!!

[Q] How do I view my 'Sent' SMS messages?

I can view conversation threads with people in my Contact list, but what if I want to review an SMS message I've sent to someone who isn't in my Contacts? Or if I've forgotten who I sent a message to? There doesn't seem to be a 'Sent Messages' folder to browse?
See the "Text Messaging" icon in your tray (near the bottom), if I click on mine it shows all my texts.

Sorry, don't know what you mean. What app are you using?
I have no tray and no text messaging icon.
I am just using the native 'Text Messaging' App - It only shows INCOMING SMS messages.

In my native text messaging app, incoming texts are displayed in yellow bubbles, but outgoing ones are in grey bubbles in the same chat window. If the contact is not in my contacts list, then just the number appears instead of the name.
Hope that helps.

Yes, If I select an INCOMING text, then the conversation thread opens and I see the grey and yellow bubbles you have described, but that only works if I can find an INCOMING text from that particular contact.
When I open the Text Messaging App, I can only see a list of RECEIVED messages (no SENT MESSAGES), so I can't select a SENT MESSAGE. There is no option to view SENT messages.
Or put it another way, I can't see SENT messages to anyone who hasn't replied.
Try sending a new text message to a non-contact (someone who has never sent you a message). Then search for the message you have just sent? You can't find it.
Go to your apps drawer and click on "Messaging" app. From there select "Text Messages". This will open all the conversations you have had. I have several in there from people who are not in my contacts due to craigslist sales and wrong number texts.
Edit: Nevermind, I think I misunderstood you. I don't know any numbers to text that are not in my contacts that haven't already texted me so I can't check what you are saying.

Yes I can.
Top entry in the list of conversations in the text messaging app.
Also, for other contacts, I see a snippet of the most recent message in the conversation, not the most recent received message - so if I was the last person to say something, it shows the start of the message I sent.
No idea what's wrong with your handset to be honest...

OK you are right, sorry for the confusion.
It's just that there is no distinction between RECEIVED messages and SENT messages in this view (They are the same colour, font, background).
I guess I am used to my WM6 device where I had seperate folders (views) for Inbox and Sent.
What I'm asking is - is there any way I can view ALL and ONLY my SENT text messages? without seeing RECEIVED?

Not with the stock messaging app.
Maybe if you were to use a third-party app like Handcent but that's really just a guess on my part as I've never used it myself...
from market - go sms pro . free right now , it has inbox, sent, outbox and all that

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.
