I've tested some rom's for the Galaxy Gio and i liked the most the Oxygen Rom 1.1.0. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002632
Although i found 2 problems with it. The lack of Gtalk and the fact that it doesn't display the contact name in incoming calls.
For Gtalk i started using the talkto app and problem solve.
Now for the contacts i don't know what to do because they're sync with google and they are display correctly in the contacts menu, only when people call me that it does show the contact.
If someone could help it would be very nice!

I think the problem resolved itself. Today the contact names are appearing as they should. I did nothing to the phone.

I've recently noticed that on my SMS messages only a contact's number shows up even tho in my contacts list the name is clearly there.
Any help is appreciated.

I have this same problem, what Rom are you on? I'm on insertcoin GB.
Am having the same problem.
I was having this issue with stock Desire, but installing Handcent showed me the contact names.
I flashed Redux ROM 1.2 and then, both Handcent and stock Message app showed contact names.
Now I flashed InsertCoin v25 (also tried RCMixHD 1.4) and the problem is back. Now, not even Handcent is showing the contact names...
I think it is because Android considers phone numbers to be 8 digits long. In my country, they are only 7 digits long. If I put a zero, for e.g. at the beginning, the contact names show up, but then I can't dial the numbers.
If I put country code, contact names show up when I receive an SMS but not when the person is calling. What an annoyance!

I don't think that is the problem. When I restart the phone, it fixes itself but shortly after the problem comes back.
Ok not the same problem as me. Maybe your phone is syncing and affecting your contacts after restart?
Someone suggested deleting draft messages and after that it works.
@325i i had that problem with that rom too, i editted the contacts to make sure the numbers were the same . Then i did a google sync and restarted and they showed up as contacts names

I've used various roms these past few days and still the same issue even with handcent too.
Everything syncs as usual thru Google. Been flashing roms of varying sorts for a year now. And first time its happened.
Sometimes the numbers come up with different dashes in-between the numbers but its never caused this issue before. Its doing my head in.

did you ever figure this out?
When dialing a Facebook contact from Contacts, Call Log or LPP People Widget, the dial pad appears with that contact's # & picture but the dialing attempt ends & I get a message of "Call has been lost".
I first noticed this after flashing CM7 N96. I've seen it on N98-N101.
From poking around several forums, I'm confident the problem is that Facebook contact phone #s import with +1 at the beginning. If I edit the contact to create a separate contact, without +1, I have no problem getting calls to dial.
I don't want to do that for over 200 contacts.
Does anybody know away to keep FB #s from importing in that format?
Anybody else seen this happen?
I find it strange that I can only find a handful of posts about it anywhere. Nobody has a solution except to change each contact.
Thanks, in advance.

Yes. The best method is to not import Facebook contacts.

I think it's still a bug. Using the plus sign as a callout prefix has been an accepted standard for many years and my cheap $10 feature phone can handle it cleanly. I find that this bug exists in all derivatives of CM 7 based ROMS but doesn't seem to exist in the Froyo based versions.

I noticed a similar issue when I used to run CM 7.2. I didn't have any of my Facebook contacts imported, though. Not sure what the problem was, but I'm on Deck's Reloaded now and haven't had the same issue.

Ok So My Major Problem In Sense Is The Contacts. After using the phone for a day or two my contact name doesnt appear in messages, just the number appears but when i go to people the name of the contact appears. so What must Be The problem when contact number appear instead of their names?
ps its fixed after a reboot but will come again after
This is a known issue, nothing you can really do. Other have suggested using a 3rd party messaging app like gosms. So you can try that if you want
I use sms backup + for storing my sms and call history online.....
The sms works well
However, the call history would show only phone numbers without contact name.... showed "unknown"
I've tried to delete the google profile then sign in again............
It works for some of the contacts but some are still unknown........
Please help me

same here.. it went away when using AOKP and CM10 roms.. but whenever im using htc sense based roms it seems to happen.. pretty damn annoying!
I also use SMS Backup+ to automate SMS and Call Log uploading to Google, on a Sense ROM (ARHD 21), and it's working without issue. Only Unknown entries are literally those with Unknown numbers.
Can't be a Sense-related problem. Must be something else.
Hey lads,
Changed my firmware to WanamLite 1.5 (with the RedPill kernel) and just found out that when I call a saved contact, on the "Dialing" screen all it shows is the number and when I hang up it asks me whether I want to save the number as a contact. Happens on every contact a have (no matter if saved as a google or a FB contact) Any ideas why that would be happening?
I did just install HaxSync and synced the existing contacts. Though i couldn't find anyone else experiencing that particular issue with their app.
Thanks in advance for your input
