[Q] Call and Texts not showing contact - Wildfire General

Hi all
Apologies if this has been posted already but I cant find it anywhere. Maybe I am looking too hard :confused
I have the HTC Wildfire with wildpuzzle rom. I have synched my contacts up and they are synched up with F/book and everything goes well.
If I get a text come throught and have the number stored as +4415100000000 I get the contact details appear eg. Mum, but then if the number calls I only get the number eg 015100000000
how do I get the contact to appear on both?
I dont want to put all the numbers in twice
Thanks

I think this is a problem with WildPuzzle ROM.

dont suppose you know a rom that i should use instead?

Unfortunately I haven`t tested any custom rom so I can`t say. Check the respective topics of CyanogenMod, OpenFire, Modaco, and look at the bugs mentioned.

This is a problem with all roms based on the Chinese 2.2 froyo. I just changed the numbers for my most used contacts and will change them back when the official 2.2 is released
Sent from my wildfire using XDA App

just put your landcodenumber before the phonenumber, then it should work.
ex, sweden +46xxxxxxxxx.

Not sure what you are talking about, where is this text, are you using an application etc etc
Mike
the text is just coming as a normal text mess when I open it it is coming from number 5555. I have gotten about 8 of these today and in some of them the phone numbers of all of the other people in my ptt contact list are in some of the lines thansk
that number is for PTT.. i used battery status call log to find this.. when you log in to PTT, add contacts, etc its all done via sms to 55555. its odd that you are showing these text though as its suppose to be transparent. What i would guess is happening is when one of your PTT contacts changes their status it pushes an sms from 55555 to your phone so it will update their status on your phone... out of curiosity are you using sleuth's PTT fix?
no I have not anything to the phone I need PTT to work on the very badly as I can use it for work untill it works and I just have a high priced PDA I have the new ROM on my computer but I am a newbi and am a little scard to install thanks for the help what do you think I should do?

since it doesnt seem like you are going to go to the extremes that most of us do with our phones then just flash the new rom using the exe so you get the whole package instead of bits and pieces like the others.
I am not wanting to nothing big. I like how the other parts of the phone work I just need the push to talk to work thanks

then just run the exe for the upgrade! i flashed the whole package using the exe and my ptt works... if you have already flashed it and still having issues then flash it again.... Also if you used an app such as SPB backup or Sprite back up and tried to back up all your apps from a previous rom then you might be having issues.. i would suggest flashing this rom and install everything again manually.. Rule of thumb, never use a backup from an old rom on a new rom
I just got the phone day brfore yesterday and have not put any apps on it so it just as it came form HTC

I downloaded it from the xda wiki site that had all of the rom's and I have read all of the wiki on the upgrade

Calling from contacts list

This maybe a dumb question but how do you make a phone call from the contacts list ? I go to the contact I want to call, and when I tap call home or call mobile nothing happens. If I tap send txt or email, that works fine. the only way I can make a call is to either manually type the number in, or if I go to my contact, then tap menu, and tap video call then it will make the phone call.
Thanks in advance for any feedback
I had this on one of the ROMs I was trying. Sorry I can't remember which one it was. Now on Dutty's W6.5 R14 and it works fine.
Cheers
Dazza
thanks for the feedback . I noticed there's a 6.5R14 turbo and a 6.5R14(MSVC) I know the MSVC has voice command, what's in the turbo version ?

Supposedly faster than previous roms, so Throy called it Turbo. Rom doesn't have MSVC and a few other apps on previous versions aren't installed
It's the R14 Turbo one (non-MSVC) that I'm currently using. Calls from contacts list works fine!
Cheers

This function should work from most if not all roms, so I wouldn't jump in head first and flash a rom. First ask in rom thread for a solution, and then if you want to flash a rom, choose one which best suits you. Throys R14 rom is a very old rom now and there is much improved bersions available
I am using the WM dialer, and have the same problem. which contacts list? via the contacts tab on touchflo, or start menu>contacts?
The workaround is to use the latter...

R14 only came out on September 19th, so it's not that old. Unless you mean the original ROM it's based on?? I've tried lots of different ROMs and it's not really lacking in anything that's in other stuff. Works for me anyway, like the Leo ones too, but didn't find them as stable.
Like you say though, best to find whatever suits you best.

Sorry if i ask on this post but i made a lot of search to get this when i travel i have problem when call someone i have to edit country codes of all my contacts, so it must be something done for calling out of country without editing every time the country codes.
So is anyone knows how to make that

Quick questions

Hey guys, got a couple of questions quick so any help would be great =)
I know you can set people's contact card pics as their facebook profile pic, i've done this for everyone successfully, just wondering if there is any way to make it auto-update (i have unlim data plan), or a way to update everyone on one click, the only way i can update them now is to go to each individual, open their online albumn, then edit the contact card, and let the new pic download, surely there's a faster way?
Also when i'm viewing a conversation between me and another person (in text messages in HTC Sense), it takes forever to load, and i can't type a message till all of them have loaded, and there's a 160+ for each person so they all load pretty slowly, surely there's a work around so i can type whilst it loads?
Thanks in advance =)
Edit: oh there was another thing, if i browse someones facebook photos, can i set any photo as the contact card picture rather than just the profile picture?
Thanks again
Bump, anyone help please? :/

you will be able to download updates, but youwon't be able to download roms from the htc website, it will give you an error when you input your serial.
read through the forum, there are numerous threads about updating rom when you are provider locked.

Ah, so if it is vendor unlocked then yes, you should be able to use the htc website. 1.66 i think is the latest.

This forum or HTC's forum?
this forum. (in brief - install hspl will let you install any rom, go hunt and do some reading, then when you understand what you are doing, go for it. )
Ah right thanks a bunch, just one last thing
When I'm downloading updates from HTC's website, it says select location closest to you, should I select europe 1 or 2 (I'm in london)
Doesnt matter, thats just which server sends you the file.
Ah right thought it was to do with bands heh
Thanks a bunch

Only more than three alarms with 3rd party alarm software (cant recommend, i dont use more than three, sorry)
As for slowdown, first off disable the flip clock when you return to home page, (search for disable manila flip) secondly if wifi is on that can make it sluggish when you wake it from sleep as it reconnects.
Hey peeps, gna post here rather than create a new thread.
I'm thinking about installing a cooked rom, i'm pretty sick of this ****ty t-mobile rom.....phone freezes up constantly, slows down etc.
Will flashing a cooked rom complete wipe everything off the phone, texts, contacts, photos, music, apps etc etc?

[Q] hd2 android SMS / contact number problem

Hello all,
I recently bought an HD2 again (after a rubbish galaxy S) and this time I installed android. (DFT stock desire rom)
everything works great, except for the following.
When I enter e number in contact in format 0475123456 or +32475123456 (belgian formats) and I call the number there is no problem.
but when I enter the SMS menu, and I press the call button he displays the number 32475123456, so not starting with 0 and not with +32 as it should be.
Now sometimes these SMS messages do not arrive at its destination. And when I call from out the SMS menu, I end up at a different location then the number I wanted to reach. Very strange, but mostly it is a fixed line number, and not a mobile number...
I think the 32475123456 number can be the problem that sometimes SMS messages do not arrive...
Can somebody think of anything this can be?
thanks for your answer!
grtz
I have the same problem. Pity that no one can help. If you managed to solve it, please let us know how
You can try 0032 instead of +32 for all your contacts ..
it doesn't help, I use operator 'Orange' in Poland, still can't sent SMS otherwise than by entering the number manually
Will the problem be solved when I flash another android rom maybe?

Yes it will... There is also a script that can solve I though(search something like "xda android dialer fix script" on google), but you might want to try a different rom as the battery drainage of this rom is pretty bad(smoothness is still unbeated though).
Hint go for gingerbread...
thanks man, now at least I know there s a fix, when I install another rom. I was already thinking of going to gingerbread. I like the nexus HD2 one, is that a good one?

For what I´ve read the Nexus rom should be good, I use the hyperdroid rom (v11) and it works very good(after adjusting the DPI)

[Q]phone does not auto search contact

I need a big help please. I just mod cyanogen7. I realize that when I press dialpad to call someone, it will not automatically search in Phonebook contact. It will not show any contact person.
For example, when I want to call Steven I just press 7 and 8, and his name should show up. But now nothing was search after the mod.
Thanks
still need help. help please
same problem eventhough I flash. newest cyanogen 7004 rc1

thank you all. and dialer one is working great
the only problem left to this mod is the youtube having no picture
I discovered this as well, and since I want to stick with the stock dialer because it runs fine I found another way. I'm just using the search button to search in my contact book, which is quite simple as well.
