Im new to the phone and this awsome forum ! so any help would be Grrrreat!
I must of changed something cause lately when I try to send a sms or mms before I send it, it says that "Cannot recognize one or more recipients or the address is not valid, would you like to send it anyways?"
and those contacts have beens saved on the sim and the phone since i got it! last week...
any help? I know for a fact they are saved and the addresses are correct
when i receive a tet message i can't see who send it, only the number is on the screen. what can i do to see the name of the sender?
Mmmm...
This may seem a dumb question, but you do have the senders' details in 'Contacts' on your device don't you? If not, you will only get a number, rather than a name
mmmmmmmmmmmmm not to sure bout this, would also like to see if theres other users having the same prob, i have had my diamond for about a year now, and is still bothered by the fact that when i get the text msg delivery report it does not list the name of the contact it has been delivered too, but only the nr..... why is that?
Hm, correct me if iam wrong, but i dont want to flash just to check..
I dont think contacts that is on the sim-card shows up as a "name", in this case only the number. Contacts must be saved on the device as stated above.
I will test next time i flash my diamond to be sure, but i do think grahamkdt is correct.
EDIT: Iam wrong. Dont know any solutions. Contacts saved on sim-card should show up as name.
text problem
Even when contacts are complete only the number shows. i heard is was a software problem and that there was a update for it. Does anyone know where i can find it?
When I receive a call or a text message from someone it displays their phone number instead of their name that is in my phonebook.
How do I fix this as I have tried google and the user manual and can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance.
I've been talking to HTC tech support about this issue and they got me to try a few things. They now say that I will have to send it back to them for repair as they reckon it is faulty. Hopefully they won't send it back to me reflashed to the UK Orange ROM....
The other day I synched my tattoo with my Outlook contacts and calendar. It screwed it right up. Deleted over 500 contacts and moved loads of events in my calendar.
I have to wait for the IT dept to restore my outlook from the backup tape from the exchange server.
Since I told HTC about this they have stopped replying. Maybe next week they will take it in for repair......
Has anyone else had this problem. If I have the phone with SIM only contacts then the name shows. If I sync my Outlook contacts then none of my outlook or SIM contacts display the name. The ROM that I am using is 1.67.405.6
The phone is just back from repair and no fault found and they reinstalled the Orange ROM on it. I have put it back to 1.67.405.6 ROM
I love this phone apart from this problem (which I must get fixed or it's back to using the Kaiser).
My camera doesn't auto focus either to scan barcodes
Am I the only person in the world that owns a Tattoo that this happens to ????
No, to be honest my tattoo camera doesn't auto focus either when scanning barcodes...when using the normal camera it does really well...
Since I don't really need this feature it didn't quite bother me...
All my incoming phone calls and text messages just show the callers id number but it doesn't translate them into the phonebook names. Very annoying.
I doubt that this is a fault on the tattoo. Should be some settings somewhere. Remember on windows mobile 6.x you had to set the minimum number of digits in the phone number if your country used less than the default settings for it to show phonebook names? Might be something like that. Try to dig in this direction.
Think I have looked at every setting on this phone and still can't seem to get it working. Maybe it's a fault in the ROM or summat
Does the phone display SIM contacts AND phone contacts? if yes i would set it to phone only and copy all contacts to from sim to phone - maybe it can't handle doubled entries...Oo
I got it listing phone contacts only, changed my frequent ones to +44 numbers, still no difference, still showing phone numbers for all calls and texts.
Is my phone the only one that does this ??
If it doesn't get sorted soon i'll have to get rid of it as this is a bloody nuisance....
Yes, I'm afraid that your phone is the only one, just as my phone was the only one to delete sms messages automatically...I called HTC support and they told me I had to hard reset the phone (although I did this 2 times before). Nevertheless I tried the third time and now the problem's gone curiously...
You can backup all your data on your SD card before you hard reset it (if you're willing to do this again), so no data loss on this side
It's just a thought...
I think hard reset is triggered when pressing Menu and Back buttons while the phone is turned off and then shortly pressing the power button.
Sorry for not being of more help

Right, I decided to bite the bullet again and did a hard reset, scrubbed everything.
1. SIM contacts only, phoned the mobile and the name and number came up the way it should i.e. normal
2. Synched my outlook contacts with the phone
3. Called the mobile from numbers in my Outlook, just the number shows, no name
4. Called the mobile from numbers that worked in step 1, these now show as just number only, no name
5. From this I presume that there is something wrong/corrupt in the Outlook data that the phone doesn't like and screws the names part up. I presume I will need to go through all my Outlook contacts to see if anything jumps out as being the problem.
Any ideas ??
FIXED IT.
Each text or call I received if I clicked on the callers number and listed the contact details it gave me part of one of my contacts with text in the number section (but the same info for every number). I then went through all my Outlook contacts 1 by 1 and found the one that had the same info. Deleted this contact on my Outlook and my phone and boom, hey presto, instantly all my number/names work perfectly now.
HTC sync had corrupted my Outlook earlier and I lost over 500 contacts, garbled others and moved stuff in my calendar.
Thank fook it's all working perfectly now.
I love this phone.
Hi.
The touchscreen of the HD2 of my girlfriend died today. There is no way to interact with it and because she pulled out the battery she can't connect because we can't enter the pin number. Now she wants all the phonenumbers and sms messages from her phone, but i cant find them using windows mobile device center. I've looked around and found some references to the programs MyMobiler en Everywan.
MyMobiler installs on the computer, but thats it. No connection, no clone screen nothing. As said in one topic it's probably because there's some interaction needed on the phone itself for it to install properly.
Everywan is nowhere to be found. I always get redirected to the zenprise page which offers an trial for what you need to enter a lot of information hoping they will contact for a trial version... No go at that.
Is there any other way to get the sms messages and phone numbers from her phone?
Has she used the Microsoft My Phone app lately? If so her contacts ant SMS are accessible at myphone.microsoft.com. If she has not then maybe someone else here has another seggestion. Even if it has not been resent sense she synced here phone with Microsoft My Phone what ever was on her phone the last time she did sync will be there.
i recently lost my phone and thought all the numbers i`d aquired over the years were gone forever, to my delight when recieving my new phone and putting my email/facebook account details in, all my old numbers were synced also. but everytime i try send a message it comes up "unable to send message try again" i can call a number no probs its just the sms. if i delete the contact and put the number in manually in the phone its fine even tho it was the exact same contact number as the one which was automatically synced. anyone else have this problem and know of a fix??? i really dont wanna have to go through 100s of contacts and delete them and re-enter the names and numbers all over again.. Thanks
wow this place is like a ghost town lol. last time i was a regular on xda was when i had a HD2, that forum was a hive of activity!! not much love for the omnia7 on here lol
Might be a prefix problem? Ask your provider if they know of this issue. Also try the network app from samsung, might fix the settings.
cheers for the reply mate.. apparently its something to do with the windows live or googlemail accounts i`d read someone tested this putting in a contact through these accounts and synching you get this problem, make a contact in the phone and its fine. didnt find a fix tho.... damn!
