Hide Sim contacts but still issue when recieving calls - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

So after upgrading to the cingular 2.06 rom, all the sim contacts were mixed up with my phone contacts and ofcourse there were many duplicates. So i changed [HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\ShowSIM] From 1 to 0 and now my SIM contacts aren't showing up, which is good.
BUT now when i recieve a call, say from John Smith, instead of showing me what i have saved on the device's contacts "Call From John Smith" its showing me what i have it saved on the SIM card, "JohnSmith TX" and i can't figure out how to solve it. I guess i could delete all my sim contacts but they're on my sim for backup.
Anyone know how to solve this?

CALLER ID not show for numbers/name stored in phone memory

atm my caller id is only working with number/names in the SIM memory..
is there anyway that i can have the contact that stored on the phone (sync outlook) to come up for caller id?
is there a software to patch this prob? o is there i setting i m missing to activate this?
My ROM is the newly updated one in end NOV (with blackberry function).
Using O2mini...
can anyone help me...? ><~~
Sorry, I have no clue on this issue, but I experienced a the similar problem, as my contacts (phone book) grows over time. As it grows, the phone took longer time to search through the phone book before could really display the caller's name. Instead only the number was displayed. Can anybody tweak around with this problem?

here how u goes
Start > Programs > Sim Manager
Wait for the Sim Manager to load all your contacts from Sim. Once done, highlight all the contacts, tap tools menu & select Save to Contacts. It should copy all the selected contact to your phone memory by now.
er.. dont think that was my question/answer..
but thanks for trying to help anyway ^^
I HAVE RESOLVED this problem now:
I think because there was no contact (ZERO) on my sim card memory, for some reason it didnt trigger this funtion.
So what i did to make it work was to make a new contact on the sim card with the number/contact that was also stored in my phone memory, and try call it, i realised it was showing the contact name that i had on the phone memory not the sim (as the number is the same but to distingush i make up differ name). Then i deleted the contact on my sim (back to ZERO) and try call again. NOW the caller ID shows up.

phonebook problem after upgrading

hey guys i just updated my device to have touchflo 2.3 and slide to unlock.
My only problem is that about half my phonebook is missing. I'm not sure if its just the numbers on my sim, or my numbers saved to my phone.
They are still on my phone because they show up if i try to send the person a text (you know how it predicts the person by there name when you go to type it in the send to), but they won't show up in my phone book.
Does anyone have any clue why this might happen, or anything i could do to fix it?
If you didn't back up the numbers first before you flashed your phone with TouchIT 2.3, then you deleted all your contacts. The ones that are showing are in your SIM but TouchIT is setup so that it won't show them in your contact list.
i backed up my numbers, but is there anyway for me to move the sim contacts on my phone so that i can see them in my phone book?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"ShowSIM"=dword:00000001
i got it,thanks for your help!

help with my wing

i was directed by another user to come here and ask this question...
i put my contacts on my phone.. and now they show up twice. once for the phone, and once for the sim card. and if i try to erase the sim one, it wants to permantly delete it from my sim card. and havin it on there twice is just pointless.. but i cant save email adresses or nothin with just the sim one..
so my question is.. can i hide the sim application numbers, so that all that shows is the contacts that are saved only on the phone..?..
if anyone can help.. id apericate it.. thanks..
After flashing new roms to my wing, a few times my contacts have duplicated themselves. I just select all "contacts" and delete from the phone. Then move to sim manager and select all and "save to contacts." It clears out all the duplicated "phone" contacts, and resaves from the sim. Any phone contacts you haven't backed up to your simcard will be lost, though, so check that your sim is up to date.

number recognition

hello,
when someone calls my diamond II
it only shows the number of the caller, but not the name even though they are in my contacts how can i change this so it says who calles by name instead of number..
thanks for any reply
This sometimes happen if you have multiple entries of the same number....then phone shows only number and no name.....Is this happening for each incoming call..or just for few contacts...
for all contacts it happens, but most do have an mobile number and an home number..
can i change anything to fix it? or is it a fault on the diomand II .
Multiple numbers for same contact should not be a problem, but multiple contacts for the same number sometimes causes this....fr me it is working fine, so it should not be a TD2 bug..

all contacts have just one mobile number and one home number so i don't know where to search a solution
but thanks for your reply
Try to not use the prefix.
(+countrycode)
Should do the trick
this was discusserd once already (I think. I can recall the drop the prefix solution). Search a bit. alas, I will give you a link if I find one
Im having a similar problem. The caller id dosent work for some of my contacts, both when they phone me or when they send a SMS. Im sure they are saved in my phone and not on my sim and from what I can see there isnĀ“t any difference from how they are saved in my phone book from the ones that the caller id works for. Its really strange and annoying. Hope someone has a solution for this problem.
Did you try just delete that contact and make it again. I know it's stupid question but ...

yes i did. I also tested to make a new contact from the sms view with the option save contact with the actual number that shows instead of the name and it still didnt work. Thanks anyway.
Hey,
I've had the same problem since day of purchase. I did the reg edit to increase the numbers the phone looks at to identify a number but it still didn't work. I've also deleted and re-created the contacts with no success.
ALL,
I had this problem. I submitted the case to HTC Europe but I did not even get a call back after a few months had passed.
Unfortunately the only way to do this is to hard reset the phone.
You will loose all your phone data (contacts etc) but the files on your memory card will be ok.
When you reset the phone, even if you have NO contacts at all on your sim card, you still have to tell the wizard on the first boot to import your SIM contacts. This, for some silly reason, is the only way to get the phone to register the phone contacts from your phonebook, even if you are just using the non-SIM contacts.
I had no numbers on my SIM card and of course I did not select the option to import my contacts. I was going to do that myself via Outlook. Once I selected not to import the contacts, not one number was recognized.
I did a Hard Rest. If you have numbers or not on your SIM does not matter. Allow the initial start-up wizard to import from the SIM. Then continue.
This solved this VERY ANNOYING issue for me. I used SPB backup first to take a copy of my phone data before the reset.

i had this problem too, solution is change registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch:9(DWORD)
this means phone will identify number by 9 last digits - meaning its ignoring country code.
*if 9 not working for you try 10/11/12... one of these should fix.

hello
today I tried all the numbers, from 7 to 12
11 was the value that made me look some of my callerID. now I have the same problem, but not with everybody, but only some people
let's say a 50% of my contacts are shown on the screen when they are calling me/sending me an sms, but the other 50% doesn't show me the name but just the number.
today I tried with my mom's phone to call me. it didn't show the name. So i deleted her name from the contact, and added it again (from the missing call). now it's showing her name... Do I have to do it with all the phonebook?
is there something I can do to fix it? it's making me crazy
please help me..
I have, absolutely same problem, erasing the contact and creating it again, did not solve, very very strange. I've tried iterchange of numbers home>work, work>home, work> auto, home > auto, invane, some of contacts refuse to display name, compared the phones i have no same numbers for names ecc. First of all i have to mention that numbers have been migrated from Nokia 6230i via Outlook Express > Outlook > Phone , some of the numbers like Home, Bussiness Fax ecc, did not passed to Diamond 2
I've just noticed that a Hotfix was released a few days ago, which just might solve this problem.
Titled: Update for HTC Touch Diamond2 for Caller ID Display
I haven't tested it yet, so let us know if it works for anyone
try to make all contacts same format with TrineFix or similar app,
set numbers without country code, for example in israel i set 05XXXXXXXX instead of +9725XXXXXXXX, then i change CallIDMatch to 8.
this is how it works for me.
I had a problem with none of my contacts names coming up when they called me, it would only show their number. After x2 software resets and installing everything again I found the problem, when you do a software reset and you turn the phone on for the first time when it asks you to import from your sim card contacts DONT DO THIS if you sync your phone with Active Sync and outlook contacts as this is where the problem is.
If you import your contacts from your sim and you sync with outlook then your caller id's will not work.

[Q] SIM information displayed over Contact Information

Hi there.
I don't understand this.
I have a lot of stored SMS in my Leo. When I browse them, the name of the person which is displayed is always the name stored in the the SIM contact, and not in the Device Contacts.
To make it easier, just an example:
In my SIM device I have this contact: Julian Oppenh?
In my device I also have this contact: Julian Oppenheimer (Shop)
If he sends me an SMS, it always shows "Julian Oppenh?"
If I remove this contact from my SIM card, then the name will be properly displayed ["Julian Oppenheimer (Shop)"]...but I don't like the idea of removing it from my SIM card!
If I receive an SMS from someone who exists in my device contacts but not in my SIM card directory, then the name is displayed as it should (obviously).
Anyone else had this issue? Hox can this be fixed? Is there a way to tell my Leo that information in device must prevail over information in SIM card?
Thanks in advance.
No one else has this problem??
I don't use SIM contacts ever, just sync your phone to your PC and delete the SIM contacts as they're backed up - end of issue
I found a way to solve this issue. I'll leave the method here just in case someone else has this problem.
I removed the SIM card, backed up my contacts & messages with PIMBackup, inserted the SIM card again, restored copy with PIMBackup and voila!
EddyOS, thanks for the tip, but the thing is that I wanted to keep these contacts in my SIM card, you never know.
Cheers,
