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,

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

Hi all,
I've got this problem on my Dev Phone 1 - the "From" number of any SMS I receive has a form of "+<countrycode><operatorcode><number>", instead of just "<operatorcode><number>" or "<number>". It doesn't get looked up in an address book because of this.
I've never had this problem with any other phone, and it's really annoying - most of the time I have no idea who sent me a message.
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure about the dev phone in particular, but T-Mobile has always recommended storing contacts in that format. Google may have taken the hint from them when they spec'd the OS. In that sense, it might not be a bug, but a feature.

Thanks for replying.
Well, I tried storing the number with +<countrycode>. The result is that SMS senders are looked up correctly, but the incoming call caller doesn't get looked up now. So, it's "either SMS sender name, or Caller name" situation.
I tried it with sim cards from two operators (with different callers / senders), same results.
isn't it one of the main differences between US and UK firmware?

Sorry about that. It's Georgia (country, not the state), the operators are Geocell and Magti. I'm using stock adp1 firmware.
Maybe it has to do with operators using different formats for calls and SMSes.
The calling numbers are in 8<operatorcode><number> format, but SMSes come from +995<operatorcode><number> (I forgot about the leading 8 in the original post, sorry).
Note that my previous phone (Nokia N73), and every other phone I've used, and all of my friends' phones have absolutely no problems with that.

The only place I could find a setting for a country was in google account settings (timezone and an optional country field). Didn't make any difference (I did a sync and reboot).
I found this link, but I'm not sure if it's related - maybe just an old Windows Mobile issue.

hi,
am having the same problem in here ...
sms'es include country code in the FROM field, whilst calls do not !
as a result if I want to have a contact to be rocognised to calls and sms, i need to add two entries - 1st with his number only, 2nd -> with the country code - ....
is there a way ( reg hack ) to make the phone remove the country code when receiving an sms, or the other way round ...
i have had no problems with nokia and SE phones before ... sms would still contain country codes, but for these phones , these two numbers would still be recognized and treated conveniently...

All my contacts are stored as +<country><number> and I have not had a problem with incoming calls not being identified. I am in the US using T-Mo. Phone also properly identified calls when I was using a different sim overseas. Looks like ymmv?
It was fixable in WM by going editing the registry key: HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIdMatch and changing the value to something like 7 or 6 instead of 8. Later on, HTC made it automatic by either grabbing the value from the provider or having a DB of presets for each country.
However, on Android, the problem still persists. More than 1 year later and it's still there, even on Android 2.2.

Actually, I haven't had this problem for quite some time now (I'm on cyanogen 1.6 now). Fixed some time when I switched to JF or Cyanogen, don't remember exactly.
I got my phone and am quite happy with it so far. I am on the Rogers network in Canada. Everything works great except that incoming msg are showing up 5 hours behind on the time stamp which throws off my sms threads as my msg time stamp correct on the way out.
So if I sent a msg at 9PM and they reply it shows there reply the same day but at 4PM of the same day? Any ideas why this is happening? It's happening from any number I get a txt from.
Thanks
Anyone having this issue or is it just me? I know this has been an issue in the past on various WM units but I'm not sure what the fix is with 6.5?
Anyone help please?
Hi.
Not sure how this connects to your problem, but usually (always) when i send text messages everything is datestamped correctly.
But when I use Phonelog to log my calls to calendar it is 5 hours off.
I have been bugging the developer for years now. But I am the only one who this happens too.
sad face.
My timestamps are exactly 5 hours behind. What developer are you trying to reach? What do you think the issue is? I think it must be a WM 6.5 issue or an network time issue? I've read about this before with other devices, just not 6.5 devices yet.
Anyone?
I'll do some more google research.
This app.
Every update he makes it still is 5 hours off.
Maybe u could give this app a try.
Great app. Barely works when it;s 5 hours off every time...
http://www.infinityball.com/phonelog
Somewhere there is a post on his site with me asking him to fix it.
It would be cool if there was a solution for all of us.
No other app does the funky time stamping...

Hey, I have the exact problem, I am also using Rogers, and I also got the 5 hrs off. That makes all the msg received on the top.
Hope someone could help.
try this
it may work
Usually...
More often than not, SMS time stamping issues are something to do with the network provider BUT sometimes, it can be how the phone's SMS software is talking to the network provider.
I had a Nokia N96 be +6hrs out while a Samsung with exactly the same SIM card in it and thus on exactly the same network/account setup etc, the time stamping was perfectly correct.
I updated the ROM on the Nokia to a newer version and the time stamping was perfect again.
I highly recommend anyone experiencing SMS time stamping issues to apply the HTC SMS hotfix that became available in the past few days.
i applied the latest HTC sms hotfix but it dont work for me..
already email HTC to see they have any suggestion a not.
my friend clock is faster/slower than my by few min but it euff to mass up the whole chat as u dunno which is your ans with his reply... (to what i know is basic on friend mobile clock not the network as i tested with 2 mobile)
but it actually shouldn't work in this way as it should basic on our clock to go
i had email to HTC and herre is their reply (i havent try yet.. later than try)
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With regards to your query, please be advised to try:
1) Go from settings->menu->all settings->connections->connection setup->select country and operator->ok to reconfigurate the SIM card service
2) press call key->menu->options->band->select the network connection type and GSM/UTMS mode according to the network provider's settings
If still no avail, we are quite sorry that you will have to backup all the personal data you have on your device though synchronisation or backup tool and perform a hard reset to re-install the whole system for your phone.
After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings-the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain
To perform hard reset,
setttings->menu->(all)settings->system tab->clear storage

im also on Rogers with the HD2 but i found a fix for this.
I was having my SMS come in with -5 hours on them as well, but after applying this registry change everything is working out (You also need to Soft Reset before the changes kick in)
Just edit the registry and set the value to 0

Talking to HTC support by e-mail is like talking to babies or monkeys. I recently tried to report 3 bugs, the answer I got back was ridiculous, the support person obviously was not able to read, only giving one-line answers, that were totally beside the point. Replying did not make it better. Maybe they are using children in the countryside in China posting random standardized answers.
I have since sold my HD2 because without reliable SMS I cannot conduct business, and a company that are so incompentent that you cannot even file bug reports is not worth any of your money.
Also, the description to the SMS "fix" that has been published on their website, completely ignoring to tell what problems it fixes, makes me think they have employed some pretty incompetent people. Any company with the slightest bit of self respect knows that when they issue a patch of fix, they must tell what was wrong and what it fixes.

Same Problem with my HTC HD Mini dude.. What to do.?
Where are your contacts located ? SIM Card ? Phone memory ? or both ?
Try to keep your contacts only in phone memory, not on SIM card.
Sounds like a corruption of the contacts database. Did any of you use a syncing process such as ActiveSync or MyPhone?
I'd suggest a hard reset, then make sure the contacts are correct on the host (Outlook or MyPhone) then try resyncing and see if it sorts it.
A pain to do, but probably no worse than sending your messages to the wrong place!
i dont sync my phone at all. but maybe this is caused by PIMBackup? i did use it to transfer data from my old phone
I notice the problem on the Notifications in the Lock Screen. Often, the older or previous missed call ID will be displayed, instead of the latest missed call ID.
I hope HTC can issue a fix or update to correct this problem.

Could be- PIMBackup is not fully compatible with WM 6.5.3 It caused major SMS problems on cooked 6.5.3 ROMs on the HD2.
Once you have the correct contacts on the phone, Microsoft MyPhone is a much better option.

Sometimes I have the same problem!
HTC we need a fix!
the problem is caused by WM6.5
Same problem on a HTC clone. The problem is WM6.5: when you receive a call with hidden ID, the phone shows the previous call's number instead of telling you that the ID is hidden. I couldn't find any solution yet. Windows Mobile is ****.
I have an HTC Legend (Vodafone Branded), that I am using unlocked in Lebanon.
Mobile phone numbers usually start with 03, and the International Country Code is +961.
When I send a message, it gets sent as 03****** and is stored in one thread. Then, when the same person replies to my message, it arrives as +9613******. The phone is considering them as 2 different phone numbers, and storing the received messages in a different thread.
Is there any solution? Shall I install a non-branded ROM or anything? Is there an app for that?
Btw, I have updated yesterday to 2.05.161.1 OTA, and now in addition to this problem, I have the problem of the SMS showing older messages first.
Handcent SMS doesn't fix the thread problem btw...
bump.... anyone?
The first problem I don’t recognize but I also have the problem that, when ever I got a new SMS, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the SMS list before I can read it. I did not have this problem before I did the update. I checked with a friend that has HTC Desire and he dose not have the same problem after the update. When he opens the SMS the list will show the last SMS that has received.
Same thing happens to me if I send a message to 09x xxx-xxxx, but if a message is sent to +385 9x xxx-xxxx it is in one thread, together with a reply. That's why I store all contacts with a country code (+385).

The ordering is a bug in the 2.05 update.
The thread problem might be easier to solve. Check if you have two contacts with the same number i.e duplicate contacts. If not that check if you have the number stored twice in the same contact. This might sometimes "confuse" the phone and lead to the above said problem. It happened to me when my google contacts got sync with my phone, I ended up having many duplicate contacts.

This is a bug in the latest Legend update [2.05]. The Desire is a different phone. The latest update it received was the Froyo update. The Legend is yet to get that update. And hopefully the update might fix the bug.
@ananthm2k5 thanks a lot, but the thing is that it is not even recognizing the number.... so the received messages get stored in a thread under +9613****** so it's probably not a problem of duplicate numbers or contacts.
I had a Telus HTC Hero before the Legend, and it didn't have this problem.
Is there an application I should install that could fix this problem, or would I have to debrand my Legend? And would debranding even fix the problem?
Thank you.
Generally when you have duplicate contacts the phone displays only the number .. but since you say you don't gave duplicate contacts ... I guess you could just back up and reset your phone to factory settings ...
Also ask the contact to call you ... see if it shows the proper contact or just a number ...
Installing other apps or debranding will not help ... you could try alternate messaging applications ... there are a quite a few .. look around the forums ... but I'm not sure about how good they are ... the default is good enough for me
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Alternate messaging options don't fix the problem...
The weird thing is, that when they call me, it displays the correct phone number, and doesn't even show the +961 extension...
I haven't tried a factory reset, but I did try deleting all the messages... I'll try one asap... I just don't feel like restoring all the apps and contacts etc.... Do you know any good backup app that doesn't require root?

The Legend does a back up on its own ... its somewhere in privacy setting or something .. look for it ... and while doing a factory reset remove your SD card. ...
I just sold my legend and bought a Desire!
And im loving it!
That's what u all should
Alright, I have debranded my phone, and installed the official Europe HTC Legend RUU 1.31, but the problem is still there.
Also, meanwhile, I have contacted HTC Support, and here's their last reply:
Dear Marc,
I am afraid changing numbers manually is the only option I can offer you. According to your serial number, your phone is locked to Vodafone and has been purchased in Germany, which means it is not coded to recognise numbers from Lebanon. Your old Hero might be SIM free, that is why he can recognise the numbers. We do not provide unbranding services, as branded phones are property of respective service providers. As to 2.2 update, we don’t currently have the date of when it will be released to other devices.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 10GBCW34ENA000771.
Sincerely,
Viktor

However, my phone was not really locked to Vodafone Germany, since I could use my Lebanese SIM Card. I can use the phone, messages and mobile data. I also know that SIM Lock is not allowed in Germany. Shall I try to re-unlock it? Is there a way to know if my phone is somewhat locked or not??
My HTC Hero was locked to Telus, but I have gotten it unlocked by a third-party.
@Lola90, if you can find me a good deal, then why not?
what should i do?
Nobody has a solution to my problem?
Any recommendations? Rooting, custom ROM, anything?
factory reset did not work for you ?
No, it didn't work...
Any suggestion on what to do? Shall I try to re-unlock the phone, shall I install a custom ROM, or an Official North American, or Middle Eastern ROM, or is there an application that I can install?
