If somebody calls me or send me a text message I don't see the name of the person who is sending/calling. I added the person in my list on the simcard and on the phone. But still i can't see there names, only the number.
Somebody knows to fix this problem?

When my XDAII receive a call it does recognize the number but strangely it does only link the number (any number) to only one contact in my list.
I tryed to delete this contact to see what happens but it link witha nother but use it along for all calls.
Can you help me?
Thanks

Can you dial a number by tapping it from your contacts list?
In some cases yes in others no, this is because in some numbers there is the area code that the XDAII does not recognize because we use 011 here in my country. If I clear that the number can be dialed from the contact list.
So, are you saying that when you receive a call from a phone number which is properly formatted (for your phone to dial it) in your contacts list, it still won't ID the correct number? Remember, it is a simple pattern matching algorithm - it gets a call, looks in your contacts list for a number formatted EXACTLY as it receives it, and displays that contact.
I followed this logic but it wont work to explain what is happening
I have some contacts saved in my contact list, but when that person calls. It showed up unknown caller. I tried to deleted that number and save it again. But it still shows unknown caller. Some other contacts are fine. Anyone had this problem and has a solution? Is there anything to do with restore? I did a restore recently.
don't know if it helps, but try to save the numbers with the country prefix in the contact.
for example in France here, I save them as +33654321 instead of 0654321, cause I had the same problem some time ago
This doesn't have anything to do with the Wizard - if the Wizard shows "unknown caller" it means that the caller's phone doesn't send the number (the caller can change that, depending on the SIM card - and the caller can also tell the telecom provider of his home phone whether he wants his number to be sent when calling!)...
No way to change that for you, sorry!
I have tried adding the prefix, but still doesnt work!
The number from the caller is not hidden, because the number is displayed, but not the name in the contact list.
for example:
Incoming call
'Unknown Caller'
0709XXXXXX
I have tried to delete and save the contact again, but still the same!!
Oh, so I misunderstood...
Sorry, but then I don't have any idea...
Not sure if this helps. I had the same experience with my other phone (not Pocket PC type), which shows unknown caller even I'm very sure I had his number on my phone, I deleted the number and put it back again, same problem. AND, after all the stuggle, I've finally noticed the problem, which is the fact that I had his name entered twiced (e.g. two contacts, different name with same number). The phone probably got it confused and refused to display a name.
I would suggest, that you remove your problematic contact, try dialing his number on the keypad, and see if the name appears (e.g. the other possible contact that has the same number). If not, then it is not this problem, I guess.
Was about to say, I got this problem, turned out to be a duplicate contact - the phone can't decide who it is, so displays nothing. Pfff.
Be nice if it displayed a list of possible contacts, but...
Delete any duplicate contacts and it should go away.
Hi.
Is there a way to change phone number to contact name in SMS I'm receiving when someone is calling when I'm not online?
When I will go back online I'm receiving SMS with informmation that someone from number xxxxxxx was calling.
I got this person on my contact list, I want to see name instead of phone number.

try to store the contact with international acces number (+49 for germany)
Well, then the problem would be that if the particular contact calls (voice call), then the name might not be displayed...
any body encounter this?
i have contacts with a common main line followed by extension number.
Lennon +60388881234,001
Mandy +60388881234,002
Nancy +60388881234,003
Sophia +60388881234,004
Yogesh +60388881234,005
but when ever, i dialed Lennon, Mandy or Nancy.. my call log will show Yogesh is the one i just called..
after i deleted Yogesh.. whenever i dialed those numer, the call log will be showing Sophia..
the call log always show the last person in alphabetical order with same main line number.. can't recognize the extension number.

No one encounter this before?
Not me. Looks strange. Did you update any phone settings? Try resetting your phone if you didn't do any update in phone setting.

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone is facing this issue where if someone calls you and the person is stored in your contacts but the name does not appear when the person calls and just the number does.
Anyway around this issue? I am on the 900I with the Taiwan ROM.
Thanks
