I have recently bought an XDAII and am very happy overall. One thing driving me crazy is when I have a missed call and view the number in the call log there is no way of adding the number to an existing contact.
You can add to a new contact but not new contact - even just being able to copy the number to the clipboard would be good...
At the moment I have to write the number down from the log and then go into contacts and enter the number manually. MANUALLY! this isnt supposed to be what technology is about! :?
Can anyone help.. please?!
If the number is not in your contacts, adding as a new contact is easy. If the number is say, a new / alternate phone number for an already exisiting contact, the only was is to create a new contact then copy the number, go to your existing contact and paste it. Then go back and delete the new. temporary contact. It is a bit of a pain but I can't think of any other way at the moment !

Thanks for the reply. That is the way I am doing it at the moment but seems very long-winded! Have been looking for perhaps a third party app which makes clipboard functions available from apps which dont have it as standard (such as call log).. no luck so far.
hey guys i just updated my device to have touchflo 2.3 and slide to unlock.
My only problem is that about half my phonebook is missing. I'm not sure if its just the numbers on my sim, or my numbers saved to my phone.
They are still on my phone because they show up if i try to send the person a text (you know how it predicts the person by there name when you go to type it in the send to), but they won't show up in my phone book.
Does anyone have any clue why this might happen, or anything i could do to fix it?
If you didn't back up the numbers first before you flashed your phone with TouchIT 2.3, then you deleted all your contacts. The ones that are showing are in your SIM but TouchIT is setup so that it won't show them in your contact list.
i backed up my numbers, but is there anyway for me to move the sim contacts on my phone so that i can see them in my phone book?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"ShowSIM"=dword:00000001
i got it,thanks for your help!
hello,
when someone calls my diamond II
it only shows the number of the caller, but not the name even though they are in my contacts how can i change this so it says who calles by name instead of number..
thanks for any reply
This sometimes happen if you have multiple entries of the same number....then phone shows only number and no name.....Is this happening for each incoming call..or just for few contacts...
for all contacts it happens, but most do have an mobile number and an home number..
can i change anything to fix it? or is it a fault on the diomand II .
Multiple numbers for same contact should not be a problem, but multiple contacts for the same number sometimes causes this....fr me it is working fine, so it should not be a TD2 bug..

all contacts have just one mobile number and one home number so i don't know where to search a solution
but thanks for your reply
Try to not use the prefix.
(+countrycode)
Should do the trick
this was discusserd once already (I think. I can recall the drop the prefix solution). Search a bit. alas, I will give you a link if I find one
Im having a similar problem. The caller id dosent work for some of my contacts, both when they phone me or when they send a SMS. Im sure they are saved in my phone and not on my sim and from what I can see there isn´t any difference from how they are saved in my phone book from the ones that the caller id works for. Its really strange and annoying. Hope someone has a solution for this problem.
Did you try just delete that contact and make it again. I know it's stupid question but ...

yes i did. I also tested to make a new contact from the sms view with the option save contact with the actual number that shows instead of the name and it still didnt work. Thanks anyway.
Hey,
I've had the same problem since day of purchase. I did the reg edit to increase the numbers the phone looks at to identify a number but it still didn't work. I've also deleted and re-created the contacts with no success.
ALL,
I had this problem. I submitted the case to HTC Europe but I did not even get a call back after a few months had passed.
Unfortunately the only way to do this is to hard reset the phone.
You will loose all your phone data (contacts etc) but the files on your memory card will be ok.
When you reset the phone, even if you have NO contacts at all on your sim card, you still have to tell the wizard on the first boot to import your SIM contacts. This, for some silly reason, is the only way to get the phone to register the phone contacts from your phonebook, even if you are just using the non-SIM contacts.
I had no numbers on my SIM card and of course I did not select the option to import my contacts. I was going to do that myself via Outlook. Once I selected not to import the contacts, not one number was recognized.
I did a Hard Rest. If you have numbers or not on your SIM does not matter. Allow the initial start-up wizard to import from the SIM. Then continue.
This solved this VERY ANNOYING issue for me. I used SPB backup first to take a copy of my phone data before the reset.

i had this problem too, solution is change registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch:9(DWORD)
this means phone will identify number by 9 last digits - meaning its ignoring country code.
*if 9 not working for you try 10/11/12... one of these should fix.

hello
today I tried all the numbers, from 7 to 12
11 was the value that made me look some of my callerID. now I have the same problem, but not with everybody, but only some people
let's say a 50% of my contacts are shown on the screen when they are calling me/sending me an sms, but the other 50% doesn't show me the name but just the number.
today I tried with my mom's phone to call me. it didn't show the name. So i deleted her name from the contact, and added it again (from the missing call). now it's showing her name... Do I have to do it with all the phonebook?
is there something I can do to fix it? it's making me crazy
please help me..
I have, absolutely same problem, erasing the contact and creating it again, did not solve, very very strange. I've tried iterchange of numbers home>work, work>home, work> auto, home > auto, invane, some of contacts refuse to display name, compared the phones i have no same numbers for names ecc. First of all i have to mention that numbers have been migrated from Nokia 6230i via Outlook Express > Outlook > Phone , some of the numbers like Home, Bussiness Fax ecc, did not passed to Diamond 2
I've just noticed that a Hotfix was released a few days ago, which just might solve this problem.
Titled: Update for HTC Touch Diamond2 for Caller ID Display
I haven't tested it yet, so let us know if it works for anyone
try to make all contacts same format with TrineFix or similar app,
set numbers without country code, for example in israel i set 05XXXXXXXX instead of +9725XXXXXXXX, then i change CallIDMatch to 8.
this is how it works for me.
I had a problem with none of my contacts names coming up when they called me, it would only show their number. After x2 software resets and installing everything again I found the problem, when you do a software reset and you turn the phone on for the first time when it asks you to import from your sim card contacts DONT DO THIS if you sync your phone with Active Sync and outlook contacts as this is where the problem is.
If you import your contacts from your sim and you sync with outlook then your caller id's will not work.
Anyone know how to edit and or delete phone numbers in a persons contact info. I have to cell phone numbers for them and i need to delete one but can't figure out how.
Bring up the contact....
Menu ----> Edit ----> press the X next to the number you wanna delete
Thanks but im still having a problem. The contact is linked to gmail and fb. When i click on edit all the numbers do not ahow up so i can't delete it. But when i just view the contact all the numbers are there. When i click edit the only number that shows up is the number that i want to keep. I want to get rid of the other number that fb is giving.
The number that FB is showing is something you can't get rid of. That number is something that person is still displaying/listing on their Facebook profile. Therefore HTC Sense/Facebook thinks its a perfectly valid number.
The only way to remove it would be to unlink their Facebook profile from their Contact profile on your phone.
Or you can tell your friend to update his/her profile with correct information.
Thanks man.
I apologize if this issue is somewhere in this forum. I've been searching for the better part of an hour and I haven't found anything close, to the issue that I'm having.
Problem: when I send a text message to multiple contacts, for some reason, all of the phone numbers for people in the list, show up as part of the phone number, for the last person on the list from that point forward. For example, suppose that I send a tm to Joe, Mary and Sam. Their phone numbers are 222-222-2222, 333-333-3333 and 999-999-9999, respectively. When I get a reply from Sam (who's the last person on my list of recipients), the msg shows up as being from "222-222-2222;333-333-3333;+1999-999-9999". Note that the +1 has been added only to the last number.
The first time that this happened, I had to delete the contact record for the last person on the list (Sam in this example), turn off the device, restart and manually enter a new contact record. Now that process doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
