Hallo,
i was searching for this but found no answer..
in Messaging (and also on TF3d) i see number of sms and not of the contact who has send me the sms. only from persones that i have as favorites (on persones tab on tf3d) the sms shows correct name..
is there any setting which shows only names..
i have tryed allready to move the value in HCLU/.../phone (which is in topaz wiki) from 8 to 9 and to 10 and back to 8 but it shows only numbers...
hope some one can help
This happened to me today. I had one of my friends numbers entered incorrectly so obviously when the text came it showed the number and not the name.
After correcting the number in my contact list, on the black touch flo screen listing the texts, it still shows the text with the number and not the name, even though when I click on the text, it correctly identifies it with the correct person and shows it in their list of text messages.
All other texts from him now show his name in the black touch flo screen, but that original text still just shows his number. This must mean the sender is stored with the message the moment it arrives, instead of being looked up whenever it is required.
This also means it should technically be possible to rename who your texts came from by editing some file or other.

Hi,
On my MDA, when I go to the contacts, I don't see the phone numbers but only the name of them and it's well (I have choosen to display them like this in the options)...
But when I want to send a SMS and I go to the contacts by this way, the name AND the phone number is displayed ?!?!
How can I only display the names in the sms application too ?
Thanks in advance...

You can't, as this view does not have any option to choose which number should be used. So it displays the contact one time for each attached number.
probably a problem that not many other people have encountered, but I kept having an error message when sending an sms to my wife, using her entry in my contacts, along the lines of "not enough numbers in this phone number".
I thought it strange seeing as the phone number i had is the right one and works for calling etc.
just realised why. it only happens when i click "new message" and then type the first few characters of the name, then select it from the suggested names. no problems if i just select the message thread and add a new message.
the problem is that my wife's name is inordinately long (31 characters not including spaces) and that there is a limit in how many characters the SMS "to" field will allow ... and by the time it had her name in there, there was only room remaining for half her phone number.
so it was just trying to send to half of her phone number cos that's all there was space for!
anyone know a reg hack to increase the maximum allowed characters in sms "to:" field? otherwise i'll just have to chop off half her name
Did a search for this and I didn't see anything so If I missed it, sorry just point me to it. I'm having an issue with the names of my contacts not showing up in the call log or on text messages. If I go to the actual contacts section all the names are there but if anyone calls me or texts me it just says (unknown) and then there phone number but If text someone it shows there name but then when they text back it shows as a new message (not in the same group as the message I sent) and does the same thing with (unknown) and there phone number (even though when I sent the original text there name showed. (Hope that all made sense)
I have checked and all of my contacts are in the actual contacts section so I know everything is syncing ok I just can't figure out why there names wont show up in calls, call logs or texts. Any Ideas?
Hi,
in all Android builds I have tried it is the same. When I go in certain contact which have several numbers, I also have Send message link for each number, even though some numbers cant recieve sms and such (home numbers). Is there a way to remove this and perhaps made it something like in WinMo to have a switch for default SMS number. Sometimes it is very confusing to find a right button for SMS and often make mistakes sending the messages to wrong one.
I finally got text messaging after 2 years and realized that it doesn't work on my Topaz. I have tried inserting the correct number in the fields for voicemail and text messaging, but after hitting "done", I find that the fields remain empty. I've tried 2 different ROMS so far and none of them save the settings for text service number. wtf is going on?
