[Help] People Contact Numbers - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a weird issue with my HTC One m8, since after updating to the latest firmware 2.22.401.5 the issue is with the People app, sometimes when I receive calls I don't see the caller name (although its saved in my address book), only the number shows up as if the contact is not saved.
This issue happens with random numbers in my phone, some contact names come up normally.
I've checked to see if there are duplicate numbers saved, that wasn't the issue. I also cleared People apk data and re-synced with Google but still didn't work.
Anyone facing the same issue? or anyone has a solution?
regards,

Call ID not functioning properly

Please don't flame me if this has already been asked a million times, but I've searched and browsed the forums unsuccessfully for an answer to my problem with no success...
I'm having a problem with the caller ID in my PDA2K. When I recieve phone calls, very often the person's name doesn't appear with the number even though they are in my Contacts. It happens at random, it seems, but its been happening very often lately. Is there an update I should install or something to fix this? I have never updated anything except with the ROM file that I-Mate provides on it's site (which hasn't changed in ages) and the One-Way call bug fix.
Also, while I'm asking... when I set unique ringtones in photo contacts they tend to work at random as well. Is there any known fix for that too?
Thanks in advance.

RANDOM phone sending dialling

[Q] Phonebook entries, giving number not recognised error...

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

[Q] Contact names not appearing in SMS/Call log

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.

[Q] Carrier Number Unknown in Hangouts SMS and About Device(DN4v2)

I see a lot of threads on this issue. I'm hoping since most of them are dated around 2012, maybe there is a fix for this recently.
I have ElectronTeam's dn4v2 rom on my t889. There are a few issues I'm having in the past couple weeks (since flashing) but the latest is a problem with texting.
It starts with the fact that I'm not receiving group messages in Samsung's SMS app. So, I don't really like Hangouts as an SMS/MMS app, but one good thing about it is that it receives group messages and displays them as such. However, when I try to send a message to a new contact/start a new thread, it gives me the option to send from my Google voice # or Carrier Number "Unknown". I'm assuming that means the recipient will not know the text is from me?
In one of the threads, I read that if my phone number is correctly listed in "About Device", I would be able to send and receive Group messages in Samsung's SMS app( a feature introduced after JB)
In About Device>MY Phone Number> Unknown.
In my contacts, the first contact listed is ME, and my phone number is correct.
I've gone into Contacts>Settings>Contacts>Contacts to display> Sim card and my number is there.
I put the sim card in my old phone running Cyanaogen, and went into call settings etc., and the phone # is listed.
So I believe that my sim card has my number. But for some reason it's not getting recognized. Perhaps this is a rom issue?
