Hello,
I have a weird issue with the SMS app for my HTC one (M8) as well as my friend's phone!
when I receive a message, the name of the person who sent the message to me does not show up in the sms app, instead the number is shown (basically as if the sender's number is not saved in my address book). however, after about 15-20 minutes the name will be shown.
to note, both of us have our contacts saved in Google, so all the contact addresses are synced with google.
anyone else facing the same issue?
anyone knows a possible solution??
Thanks & regards,
Abdullah
Maybe go into app settings for mms and contacts and delete all data to reset to default. Reboot then resynch contacts.

All my contacts use international number format (+xxxxxxxxxx) and are stored on gmail severs. Unboxed and setup the desire with my gmail, facebook and twitter accounts. Synced well and got all my facebook and gmail contacts. Here's the issues I'm having:
- I live in Lebanon where incoming numbers display 03123456 (03 is the mobile prefix) whereas i have stored them as +9613123456. My desire is not matching the incoming call to the corresponding entry in the phonebook. Never had this problem before on Nokia & BB.
- Incoming SMS seems to be working fine and matching the right contact. However, when I receive an SMS from an unknown short number (any commercial message), the desire matches the sms to a random facebook contact based on some weird recognition algorithm. Worse, if I click on that contact's avatar in the message thread, I get an application error (process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly...)
Any insight would be appreciated. Hoping for an easy fix!
I had the very same problem (commercial messages...) I deleted the contacts that were appearing (didnt use them often...). After deleting the 2nd or 3rd the problem was rectified. Not sure exactly why it was associating those contacts to the messages???
Strange.....
I noticed that these matched accounts had bogus data in their Facebook profile (phone number).
My major concern is the first issue. Anyone having the same problem?
Bump. Anyone?
Hey Guys
I recently exported some contacts from my old windows mobile phone into a vcard since this is what Google Suggests
So I imported the vcard file into Gmail, and somehow it's
it's put all the contact information into the note field. Perhaps it did this because perhaps at one time I had duplicates of them all and it merged the contact information?
Well all the contact fields are blank except the note field which looks like this

So the problem is when I sync up my contacts with my Evo only the names are listed because theres no phone number in the phone number field it's just in the notes field. And so when I compose a new text message and search for a contact none pull up. I can go into "people" and see the names but yea thats about it.
Please help I haven't searched diligently and I haven't found any solution to this problem.
Any thoughts or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Why not just go through each contact and copy-paste the data into the appropriate fields? Sure, it'll take some time, but it IS Sunday...
I have over a 1,000 contacts :|
and when you go through the contacts through gmail
it's kind of laggy... even on a good connection
On the Epic's Messaging app, I noticed if I type on the "To:" field none of my facebook contacts show up at all. But then i go to the actual Contacts app and click on their contact and it has the message option. If I click it, It'll send the message and everything but instead of showing their name in the thread it just shows the phone number.
The only fix I've had so far is re add the number and link it to their facebook. But It would take too long to do that for all contacts.
Any way of fixing this?
I have two gmail accounts. Both sync my contacts just fine (both can be searched and come up). However, whenever I receive a text or call from my second account (I use handcent and Callapp), it just shows the number, as if I don't actually have the contact saved. This is getting frustrating as my second account is a google apps account that I use for work, and clients are calling me without me knowing who they are, until I copy the number and search for it in my contacts. Did anyone else encounter this and how did they solve it? Thank you.
Hi there, I have a OnePlus 3. Since a week my contacts list imported from outlook do not show anymore in my contact list. So in e.g. WhatsApp I only see phone numbers. If I add a new contact it shows at first but the next time I open up my phone the contact name is gone and I can only still see the number in e.g. dial history. I have tried virus scans, settings in outlook etc. Nothing helped.
Anyone has an idea what causes this problem and how to solve it? Thanks a lot in advance.
