MDA Touch Plus..recently just had it back from repair, but they have also done a software upgrade.
Unfortunately now my text messages are threaded and showing "Conversation with" and just the mobile number. Therefore I have to look up my contacts for who is sending me a text message.
Been through all the settings and I have deleted all sim contacts from my contacts list.
Racking my brains here, any help guys how to get it back so i can see contact names again in my messages? I dont mind if they are still threaded so long as I can see who it is.
thanks in advance.
My wife's got the same issue. Just been back to T-Mobile for repair, got the latest firmware installed and now contacts aren't being recognised in the threaded messages.
A temporary fix seems to be to amend the contact mobile number to start +447xxx rather than 07xxx and this seems to work, but as she's got a couple of hundred contacts (uses her phone for work as well as personal use) it's gonna take some time to update them all.
Don't have this issue with either my Diamond or my Trinity (both also running WM6.1).
Any further help appreciated!
One option might be to disable threaded SMS - install this cab and all should be well again.
Hope that works for you!
Message thread resolved.
It works! Many thanks Khrushy

Youre right, been onto tech guys, this is the only cure at this moment in time. Took me half an hour to change all the contacts to +44 but its workable now. Thanks for your suggestion Martins40
Hi, First post after lurking for weeks.
I recently flashed to duttys 2.6, all went well except sprite didn't port my contacts across, so I got them via pc sync. This resulted in quite a lot of deleting unwanted contacts, but otherwise no problem.
But, Now my phone has the contacts ok, i can find them and make calls fine, but on some contacts, they don't show up when they call me, showing up as just the number, it lists them in the call history as unknown as well?
Any ideas why, it is only some contacts, other show up normally.
Cheers, Stu
If you have more than one entry of the incoming phone number in your contact list (duplicates) then they will not show up when a call comes in. The system does not default to any one.
Hope this helps.
Makes sense, I did have to delete lots of numbers and duplicate contacts. Only thing is I have only one of each contact now, suppose I'll just save them as they pop up, eventually I'll get then all.
Ta.
Hi,
I realize this could be posted in a number of forums. I too have had persistent problems with caller and SMS ID on my TD2. I have read and googled extensively and tried various registry edits, hard resets, soft resets...
A couple of days ago I emailed HTC, see below...
"Inquiry Description Hi, Can you please tell me how to organise contact numbers on my touch diamond 2 so that caller id and sms id BOTH work. I have spent many hours googling and trying out various formats and CALLERID registry settings with no success. This would seem to be a fundamental basic of a mobile phone and is causing me no end of frustration. many thanks David

Hello David,
have you installed the latest ROM image available on the HTC website? I am assured that will resolve the issue you describe. Thank you for contacting HTC Europe."
I hadn't as the blurb seemed to indicate that it was a fix for stock info for which I have no use. So I flashed it and....so far.... the caller ID and SMS ID seem to be working fine!!
So if that problem is solved has anyone a solution to the TD2 not receiving business cards sent from a Nokia as an SMS??

My registry setting is: HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch:8(DWORD) and it works with all numbers for phonecalls and sms.

Business cards from Nokia have another format then the businesscards from Windows.
Connect your Nokia through PcSuite (from Nokia) and sync your contacts to Outlook on your PC, then they will be converted for Windows (and Mobile).
Then connect your WM phone with Active Sync 4.5 (2000/XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista/Win7) and sync them back on your phone.

it can be set lower, even to 5, but this way it will recognize by 5 last digits and this will cause to wrong recognitions if you have similar ending numbers.
it need to be set as number of digits in your country minus 1 meaning without the zero so if it recognizes with country code it will work even if numbers saved without country codes.
Hi,
I had tried changing the registry setting but could not get the phone to id both caller and sms. From EXTENSIVE reading of threads on this forum and numerous other forums it would appear that the reg change does not solve the problem for all. It is possible that it was the hard reset that solved the problem and not the ROM upgrade but curious that HTC recommend the upgrade.
I also got the impression that sometimes numbers saved to contacts via TouchFlo did not get saved while those saved via WM contacts were.
vCard has sorted my business card issue. Intercepts incoming sms cards and manages them. I found this fix here on XDA also.
Finally happy with my TD2 and its ability to manage 5000+contacts.

it will not fix sms & calls received until registry changed only for new ones.
I had the same problem when i first got my TD2, i gues it was in june, i called HTC support, they just adviced me to reset the phone, in configuration of windows mobile then under the tab system, in dutch it called "opslag wissen" i guess in english somehting like clear memory? note you lose everything, but in my case it solved the problem, bit wierd how but after no problems any more good luck
I had the similar issue with my stock ROM, after searching, trying and trying I had it fixed by copying all the contacts to SIM, delete the contacts on the device and copy the contacts back from SIM to device.
IMHO, I think the problem was because there were different "formats" stored initially in the device (last name, first name, business card etc) and by copying to SIM card all the formats then reformatted (but later need to adjust them after copying back to the device).
Note that SIM cards only have less capacity than the device to hold the contacts.
Cheers,

Anyone knows what "This update for the HTC Touch Diamond2 lets you, your friends and loved ones become closer, making receiving calls as personal as greeting them in person." is supposed to mean? What does the update actually do?
Hi guys - not sure if i post this question here or at the Themes, Applications and Software. (feel free to move this if necessary).
Ok so here is my problem...I wanted to send a single sms to multiple recipients, the way to do that in HTC HD is to write a SMS and then select one recipient after another, this is just a major flaw if we have to send SMS to say 150 people.My old samsung showed me all my contatcs and all I had to do was place a tick infront of the names of the people i wanted to send to, thus making it so easy..
So i tried searching far and wide of a tweak or hotfix that adds the option to the standard HTC messaging. But soon after realising that i was fighting a losing battle, i decided to go for a 3rd party option. So i tried VITO SMS-CHAT 1.25..This was just awesome.(not trying to adverstise any software here), after using it for sometime i decided to tidy up by deleting all messages.
However, after deleting the messages i see that when i create a new sms, none of MY contacts shows up.i.E. sms-chat only shows those contacts that have sent messages to you and if you delete messages then sms-chat forgets about that contact.. Also,it does not show all the contacts from the contacts database from your phone..
Has someone come across this issue???
Also can anyone helpme by suggesting a way i can send a sms to multiple recipients using my default messaging on HD?
or alternatively, tell me how i can see all my contatcs in VITO SMS-CHAT 1.25.
Any sort of help will be treated as good help and thanks inadvance if you even botherd to read this so far.
Hello, got my Htc desire z last night and wanted to transfer my sms messages from my old touch pro onto it. Finally managed to get that done but the inbox and sent messages from my contacts appear individually listed and not merged in one screen as on the touch pro.
So i can see everything i have sent, and everything i have received but in different threads from the same contact.
Any ideas on how this can be merged? I did a search and found someone a while back with this problem but there was no solution.
Can anyone help please?
