So I updated to the latest firmware and reinstalled what's app. I enter my class group chat just now and to realize i can only see my classmates (un-added) numbers, before that I could still see their what's app name just beside their numbers even though i didn't add them.

I'm running 6.1 MR1 and sync my contacts with an Exchange Server.
I have a number of contacts that have the same office phone number, and I'm trying to figure out if there is some way to specify which contact info is displayed by Called ID when there is more than one person/entity with that phone number in my contacts.
For example, say I have individual contacts for the ABC Company, John Doe and Jane Smith. All three have the same work telephone number. When I get a call from that phone number, it could be John Doe, Jane Smith or anyone else at the ABC Company calling. Let's say that in this situation, my caller ID display always shows the incoming caller as John Doe. Is there any way to tell Windows to display the caller as the ABC Company information when it receives a call from this number instead.
I've embarrassed myself too many times thinking one person was calling when in fact it was someone else!!!
Thanks!
I've love to be able to do this too.
My problem is that I have a shared address book with all workers at my business with home as well as work numbers. My name and number are obviously in there. In a different book I have my wife's name and our home number. Whenever she calls, my name, as it's alphabetically before here, shows up first. I've tried putting a period or space before her first name hoping that it would move her up on the list, but it moves her down to the last spot of people with the same last name, and I can't change my name in the shared book.
If you're working off personal address books, I'd see if you can fudge the names so that the one you want to appear shows up alphabetically first. Then I think that's the one that gets grabbed with Caller ID
the other option. if you can edit your contacts. Would be to remove the work phone number from the individual contacts. That way it only shows for 'ABC' Company.
Thanks, Nec . . . I've removed the work numbers for the individuals as a half-baked work around. The problem is that some of them are favorite contacts (Spb Shell), so if I want to call them at work, I have to go through the directory instead of just using the picture shortcut.
This is a really strange problem and I'm hoping someone can help me with it.
For some reason on my Treo Pro, there is this one specific random phone number which, although I can add it to a new or existing contact and it will show up correctly under that person in the Contacts app, does not seem to be recognized, remembered or associated throughout the rest of the phone.
Meaning, if I get an incoming call from that number it shows up as an unknown caller, displaying the number but no associated contact name. If I check my call log the number shows up there, rather than the contact name. Also in text messages, it just shows as the number by itself, again rather than the contact name to which it belongs. If I tap on that number in the SMS dialog, it tells me "This person is not in your contact list..." and asks me if I want to add them. And whether I add that number to an existing contact or create a new one for it, nothing changes. If I tap the number again, it still tells me it is not in my contact list. Over, and over, and over again. It just will not "stick" or take, permanently.
There is nothing odd about the actual number itself. It's the exact same format as all the other numbers in my contacts (1-416-xxx-xxxx). And I've tried adding the number in every possible way, with and without area code, '+' sign, '1' in front etc.. nothing makes a difference. I've rebooted the phone after adding it, and still no effect. It just will not recognize this phone number as belonging to a contact, even though under the contact it appears correctly, and I can call or text it from the contacts app.
Is there any reason this would be happening, or any way to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks...
I have the same frustrating problem on my Treo Pro - contact names do not display even though they are saved to phone memory. The only solution I have found is to delete the contact and create a new one e.g. from the number that appears in call log or SMS. I presume the reason is Sprite Backup doing somethig wrong with the databases when restoring contacts after hard reset.
Any one know how to remove your Facebook contacts from your contacts list. Considering WM7 hasn't been come up with a quick scroll function, spending a minute scrolling through 500 additional facebook contacts to call someone really is a pain in the butt! Yes I know there is a 'search' function, but I don't like having to type in a persons name to just call them.
Is anyone else having this problem?
PS... I still love the phone. Can't wait for an official update from Microsoft!
you can go to settings ---> people and check "only add facebook info to existing contacts"
Also remember you can hit the search button and look for your contact like that. Searches in both names and surnames.
You can also hit a letter and get the alphabet grid to quickly go to names starting with a certain letter.
The best thing they could do is put a setting in there that only shows contacts with phone numbers. Same thing Android does.
I have a Messenger contact list the size of my facebook friends list.
On top of that I am coming over from an Android phone.
That is 3 different sets of contacts. Having it when I press phone and only showing me contacts with phone numbers makes sense.
Hi guys
Has anyone noticed that when searching for a contact (T9 search) in samsung stock dialer, the search function it only lists the first number for a contact if they have more than 1 applied to their card. Problem is you can't view other numbers, it just immediately starts dialing that one number instead if you try to select it ( there is no way to select and see the other numbers)
I have contact with 3-4 numbers so its annoying me. I know there is Dialer One, Go contacts etc but none of them have the clean interface the stock dialer has .
If you click the contact photo it shows all the numbers.
At least my one does....
I'd hate to bring up an old thread, but I used the magical search button and found this thread.
I have this problem, too, and it's really annoying.
Pressing the contact photo doesn't bring up the rest of the numbers for me.
If it helps, my contacts are synced via my google account, and I have a feeling this doesn't happen for contacts locally stored on the phone.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
I'm currently using a different dialer, but I'd prefer to stick to Samsung's dialer if possible.
Hi, so my friend has a Verizon S4 flashed with the HyperDrive ROM. He was showing me the other day how whenever someone called him, the caller ID name showed up as if the number was stored in his contacts. It's not like it was linked to FaceBook or anything, because it worked for completely random numbers. In the recent call logs it showed up with the name under the number. It had a very minimal and "native" look to it. The funny thing is, he was unsure where it came from. I checked the info for the ROM and I didn't see anything about that and there was no app installed that would explain it. It appeared to just be part of the phone. More interestingly, it was able to come up with names that would not show up on a normal WhitePages search. They would show up with my "premium, advanced lookup." So it would appear he has access to a pretty good phone number lookup database. I mean that makes sense, I assume WhitePages just hides some numbers/names from the normal search so you have to pay. Anyway, I was wondering what this was and if it's possible to get with my ATT S4? Thank you and have a great day!
