Ever since I upgraded to .596 I lost my contacts, really odd. They are still there if someone calls their name and pic and number show up. If I go to my address book and select a name (which are all still there just can't get i to edit them or even see them), the screen blinks back to my home screen. Making me crazy. Anyone have a clue on what I did to my DX!!!
Did you check "display options" and see which accounts are enabled to show on your contact lists?
as for the blink back to home screen, perhaps your contact app might be corrupted or something. you can always try a wipe/factory reset?

Hi All,
Firstly allow me to commend everyone who has helped bring the wm2003se upgrade to the Himilaya device series. As usual i was reluctant to risk my device as it is a true workhorse, but the temptation proved too strong and i went for the upgrade anyway. So far it seems to be working ok except for two things. The first is the voicemail icon that appears in the taskbar at the top of the screen. it is constantly beeping and informing me that i have a voicemail, however when i call my voicemail - nada! no messages. Hang up and get informed of a new message, one that my phone has apparently made up! The second thing is the restore feautre in activesync. After the upgrade i tried to restore a backup on my work pc, i was denied due to "backup is for an older type of device" or summit like that. Once home i tried the same proceedure on my pc there and guess what? it worked first time, only after soft resetting it only restore some items (like my docs folder) but not others like settings, progs etc. Another weird thing is that the contact harwdare button became disabled with an error message saying no mapping found, went to the buttons menu in settings and there was no option to assign the contact action to the contact button? I have since resolved most of these issues except for the voicemail thing that us really annoying me. If anyone can suggest a fix, please please do!
Cheers all

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.
My HD2 has stopped displaying conversation history. When I get a new SMS I can see the 'preview' in the All Messages screen, but when I tap it I just get a blank history, with the senders name at the top. The phone is still functional, so it's not crashing, it's just not displaying any history.
Any ideas? If it's of any consequence I have Swype and TouchPal installed as additional keyboards - Don't see how that will affect this though.
Appreciate any help.
EDIT - I should say, restarting the device does not help matters, and if I switch to Traditional Mode I can see all the messages. I have the SMS Fix supplied by HTC installed, and can see the message count next to the name on Conversation Mode, so all the messages are still stored - just not viewable.
double check your phones date and time are set correctly, I saw this when i restored txts after a flash a week or so ago, and i'd forgotten to set the date.
Thanks for the reply mate. Time & date are set correct though, just double checked.
Does anyone think reinstalling the SMS Fix / patch might resolve it?
Yes it did - if anyone gets this same error - a reinstall of the Hotfix worked. Must have screwed up somehow.
Hi,
This has happened about 3 times in the past month, so I figured I may need to ask if anyone gets this problem.
1. Sometimes out of nowhere, I pull out the phone and its on the G2 boot screen.
2. Sometimes out of nowhere, I go to call someone and Call Log is empty.
3. All contacts are missing and asking to add email and/or import contacts.
Today.. I browsed the web and did some gaming. Went back to homescreen and locked screen. 5 minutes later I went back to call someone.. call logs were erased (again), so i went to contact.. which were empty, asked me to add email account. I went to Favorites and it was all empty. I went to Accounts and my [email protected] had a red sync icon.
I could not get it fixed, so i had to restart the G2, wait a few seconds and all contacts were back.
However call log was gone.
I had a G1 and in the 2+ years I only erased the call log by mistake once or twice... never really had call logs missing. So I doubt I hit it by accident "clear log"
Anyone else have this problem?
I don't wanna jump to a factory restore just yet..

Try something like GO SMS or handcent. That will rule out if its application specific, if that doesn't work maybe try deleting her as a contact and putting her number in manually when sending a text (or if she has multiple numbers that are marked as mobile, but are infact not). it might try send it to those.
obviously that's not a phone problem
Some settings went wrong, like ryronz said
I encountered this "problem" a couple of days ago when trying to send my daughter an SMS - tried twice, and twice it said "failed to send."
It turned out that it was because of her entry in the contacts list - her home number appears before her mobile number, so the 'phone was (by default) trying to send the SMS to the wrong number.
Have a look through the failed-send messages and you'll likely find the 'phone was trying to send them to her home or work number instead of her mobile.
Two things to do...
1. On your girlfriend's contact, long-tap her mobile number and select "Make Default Number."
2. From the contacts list, tap Menu -> Preferences -> View Contact, and tick the "Text Action for Mobile Only" tickbox.
Okej, will test that
