Hi guys, running HTC Magic with cyanogenmod 6.0.0 here.
I have all my contacts phone numbers stored as like 0-41-11-12345, where the "41" is my carrier number so I can make long distance calls when out of town (no need to edit the contact). However I get all SMS messages identified as 0-11-12345 (no carrier number) so the phone does not "link" that sender with my actual contact... I have to search through all my contacts every time I get a new SMS (to see who sent me the message) because I can only see the source number.
Any ideas on how to solve that?
Thanks!
Hello everyone,
I upgraded to "Android Revolution HD 4.0" (the Gingerbread version) a few days ago and am currently running LauncherPro.
My problem:
When I open the "Phone" app it normally shows the contact list on top and as you type in the numbers the contacts get filtered.
But now the list is empty and my contacts only appear after typing in a random number an erasing it again.
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here, but I just couldn't find a setting or something to fix that.
Cheers
That is because Call History is broken in those new ROMs. Try to enter Call History from apps list, I bet you'll get a FC. I did that when I was using AR HD4.
Let me know how it turns out for you
The Call History seems to work flawless.

Edit: After entering a number and erasing it again, it works fine:

When I upgraded from stock to CM7 I had a similar issue. My contact list was limited to those in my Gmail Contacts (i.e. email only - no phone numbers).
When in Contacts - I pressed the Menu button, selected Import/Export and imported the contacts on the SIM card into my contact list. No problems since.
Last weekend I modified/merged my contacts in Gmail - which syncs automatically. I won't store them on the SIM card anymore.

Actually I've had the same problem, same as screenshots, but in my case it was the Call History. Indeed, it was a known bug on that version of the ROM I've was using.
I was just able to fix it by changing the shortcut of the phone icon in the dock (launcherpro) to the phone from the app list and suddenly it works
Thanks for your replies!
So I use the dialer every day to dial my contacts names. It's an amazing feature. However, I recently changed the last name of my contact (Gina) to her new last name. Ever since then, my dialer cannot find anybody in my contacts when I dial 4462 even though she's in my contacts. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!
Hi, I recently updated my Note 3 (SM-N900W8) to lollipop and since then when I use the Phone apk to call or recive a call, I can't see the name of my contact, I only see the Phone number.
I re-sync my contacts and didn't work.
I only add a contact to the Phone and didn't work.
Any ideas?
Hello guys,
i'm facing a strange problem with my s7 edge, it just mix the contacts number randomly. Many times i'm trying to call someone and when i do i found that it's not the one i'm trying to call!! after a deep look into my contact list i found that the phone is copying another contact phone number to another contact name, i will have two numbers under the same contact name, and when i press edit i just see the original number, the other number "the one the phone copy it himself" isn't there! i tried to show only my device contacts or google account contacts but still same problem.
Any ideas! thanks
This has never happened on my edge. Are you using any third party contact apps or dialers?
No just the regular contact app
