Contacts names not display in sms app - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I update my phone via ODIN, sms app (including stock app) doesn't show the contacts name. Instead of that it shows phone number.
I have SM-G900F SGS5. I used UK version firmware.

You are making an assumption that the SMS apps should automatically scan your contact information and auto update. But you don't provide any history, context or details to even begin to guess if that is an accurate assumption. I'd assume that you'd need to manually update or import such information.
No doubt if you did a decent search, you'd discover which is the case in existing threads.
The suggestion to try clearing your cache is reasonable, try that first and see if it makes any difference.

SMS issue

Hi,
After installing a new custom ROM (I don't know the name of it, and can't seem to find the original file), when texting someone, the screen jumps to the very top of the messaging thread. Which makes it very difficult to edit or proof read what I'm typing.
I'm pretty certain the ROM matters, and I'm currently looking into it. However, it is one that strips Android down to the bare minimals removing sprint apps etc.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks!

How do you flash a ROM and not which one it is?
BTW, go to phone info and you'll probably find the name of the ROM
I flashed it a while ago and don't recall the name.
Here's the software information in settings:

Any ideas? I was wondering if there are different versions of the stock messaging app?

Friend that pic is a bit small. I would do a full wipe and flash a new Rom. I use amon ra with great results.
try this...
Use root explorer, and make sure it is set to R/W mode (read/write).
Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and delete that file, then restart your phone.
After the restart, you should be able to send and receive MMS messages.
Hope this helped ya, worked like a charm for me!

Weird Google Login Error Popping Up Regularly

The above pops up sometimes on its own, as well as generally when I get an alert for a new text or the like. But my Google Account is already synced and seems to be in working order for the apps that need it. And when I click through on the above to try and log in, nothing happens.
Any thoughts as to what is causing it, and how to fix it? Been having this issue for about a week now (which induced me to try and upgrade...was not pleased with the experience, so I reverted to my most recent backup, and the problem is thus still there.
I'm not running sac's rom, but I heard there is a fix for that error in the rom thread. Do a search for google sign in error in the rom thread.

From a computer check your Google account setting to verify that two factor authentication is turned off.

It looks like you tried to flash a phone.apk or a dialer app that isn't stock. You didn't say what phone version you have (your signature mentions GT-I9505?) This forum is for the I337 variants. My suggestion would be to try and find the same version of firmware / ROM that you are currently using and see if you can get the correct phone.apk or dialer apk out of it and try to restore that way. Depending on you phone model and firmware, you might be able to restore with a nandroid (if you have one). If your bootloader is locked you might need to restore via ODIN and the proper firmware. Most thing you do will run the risk of wiping your data and contacts so back everything up first before you try anything to be on the safe side. If you don't understand the things I mentioned or if you don't know where to find something I suggest you use the forum's search function to find the information and tools you need. Good luck.

see two symbols of battery, you were trying or tried to do for that to happen, and if you can tell the model of your phone, greetings

Dialer/Contacts issue

I'm suddenly having an issue with my latest/frequent contacts not showing when long pressing dialer using "3D touch". It started after briefly adding and removing an old Google account. Now nothing shows except the "add contact" option. I've tried everything I can think of including full wipe to get it back but still nothing. Hoping someone has an idea. My OCD is killing me

HiSearch prompt

Since the last firmware update, this prompt repeatedly shows up, and I have no idea what will happen in case I accept it and how can I decline it.
Also, I checked and I have no application called HiSearch installed and I can't view what application gives me this prompt.
Does anyone have an idea about this?

Yes I saw this thread as well, but the strange thing is that my tablet does not have any app like that. I checked it both in the Android settings and through adb.
