Hi,
I have this issue, i used to save my contacts in gmail for the last 8-10 years and i usually change my mobile device every 4 to 6 month. mow i have this issue with my samsung s7 edge duos. I found that if the contacts saved with the international code " and this is my standard in saving contacts" the calles received with out name and i can see only the number. i did different test:
- removed the international code : solved the issue but why with this device only?
- i used my friend device s7 edge but not "DUOS" and saved the number with internaional code and the name displayed
- i thought its an issue with the GSM operation and i put diffrent SIM from another operator and the issue still exist.
- i flushed the device from the boot two times, and still not soving the issue
so please any one can help.
thanks

Hello,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond 2 bought 2 months ago. There is a problem that only occurred recently (worked fine before, so I might have configured the settings incorrectly)
Problem:
My contacts are stored inside the sim card. Before when my friends called their name would display on the screen. The problem now is when they call me (their numbers are all already stored in the sim card) only their number is displayed on the screen and no name, and I would have no idea who is calling if I don't recognize the numbers.
the odd thing is if i check my call history afterwards, the names come back up. so it is only not showing when it is ringing
this isn't one of those area code problems, my area doesn't use the area code during calls (hong kong), so adding the area code in my contact list doesn't solve the problem
Is there a way to fix this problem?
Thank you.
in advanced config>phone set caller id to 8 & reset.
I had a similar problem a while back. The only thing that solved my problem was a hard reset.
maybe this helps..are you using activesync?

Galaxy Note 3. Ported number to EE successfully but About device/Status/My phone number, displayed the old temporary number still. Just a minor annoyance!
However, I had an old LG Cookie handy so popped the SIM in to it and selected Communicate/Contacts/Information/Own Number/Click on number/Edit/Type new number/Save.
Put the SIM in Galaxy Note 3. New number now displays . Hope this is of use to someone.
Hi all,
I recently upgraded from a Note 2 to a Note 4.
Will try and explain the issue - it's only small but bugs me.
My previous sim was Orange and the new sim is EE 4G.
As this was an upgrade I was told my number would transfer to this new phone (Orange and EE are basically the same company in the UK - in fact my old Note 2 showed EE as the network carrier with the Orange sim).
My problem is when I put the new sim supplied in my new Note 4 according to the phone company the sim will take on a temp number until the transfer is complete. However when I make calls to others, my number appears correctly on their phones (same number as was in Note 2). I can no longer make calls on my Note 2 so assume the transfer has been actioned.
HOWEVER the phone is still showing the wrong (temporary?) number in About Phone > Status.
I can find no way to clear this and display the correct number.
Any ideas?!?
Mine does same too.. Im on ee but transfered my old number over but phone shows only number ee gave me
I dont think you can do anything until your provider remotly update your sim.

Thanks guys,
I received an update this morning requesting I reset phone.
After reset I now have correct number albeit the international dialling version - starts 00447 rather than 07 but that's near enough for me.
Strange how all other sims I have display normal non-international number but meh.
Mine is on o2 and shows international number as well. Guess this is how the new 4g sims work on the Note 4.
I recently switched to EE from 3 and the sim had the temporary number, so that was displayed in About Phone. I popped the card in an iPhone, edited the number and put it back on my Note.

so there's that thought I'd share .
ThanKs
the number is stored on the sim
android phones dont offer the feature to edit it for some reason
pop it in an old dumb phone
Sony Ericsson K800i etc and edit it there
then pop back in your android device
Hey guys, I'm having an issue that I can't seem to resolve on my own. I recently broke the screen on my Note 5 so I decided to use my old Note 4 until the Note 8 comes out. Today I took out the phone, placed my simcard into it and started it up. I thought everything was fine until I tried making a call where it just gives me a pop up notification that I'm not registered on the network.
The phone isn't locked, bought it new unlocked. No custom roms (ever), IMEI is correct (naturally). So far I've reset the phone to factory settings to see if that would help to no avail.
If manually choose a carrier manually (both searching and choosing one takes longer than usual) I get a new message "No Service Selected Network (Telia N) not available".
The phone worked prior to me putting it away, my sim card works in other phones. Any suggestions or am I up sh**s creek without a paddle?
take out the simcard and try an emergency call (in my country it's a crime to playing with it. But without the card nobody can catch you.)
if the message appears again = it seems HW related problem
if the emergency call is working = it seems your phone restricted by the carrier and you need to ask the customer service why. Maybe a mistake
Thanks, it appears to work without sim card dialling 112. I'll email and call my service provider tomorrow.
Hi guys,
I have problems with my S8 duos and i want your ingenious insight. I'l try to explain the problem but please keep in mind that English is not my native language.
I've bought this mobile from a retailer on ebay on June17. I'm from Greece and the local samsung dealership doesn't import the duos variation (the supported frequency bands are the same). It worked perfectly for 4 months. Two months ago the cell signal started dropping (I have strong signal in my region) in one sim card or both of them. Sometimes the device worked ok for a day or two but eventually the problem continued to appear (signal going up and down, sometimes stuck to no signal indication forever). Last week the mobile updated firmware to ver g950fxxu1aqk7/g950foxm1aqk7/g950fxxu1aqk7. This update totally wrecked my cell signal. Know the signal is dropped (until no signal indication appears) within a minute of rebooting the device. Now, only within this minute I can make calls or exchange mobile data!
So far I have tried various things
a) installing sim cards on different cell phone -> worked faultless on 2nd mobile
b) installing different sim card on S8 -> same problem
c) rebooting -> temporary fix 2 months ago (for a a day or two max), now nothing
d) wipe cache -> same as above
e) factory reset -> same as above
The last straw for me was when i started the initialization setup after a factory reset and the problem appeared before installing anything!
So far I've concluded that it's either a hardware fault or something firmware related. I want your help to rule out the firmware aspect.
I've called samsung service and from the IMEI number they told me the selling market for my mobile was UAE (no warranty for me!). From the service provider software tab in the device I read eur/eur/pak. I installed the samsung info app and it appears that the active csc code is eur (correct -> Greece) and csc country is segr/gr.
Do you have any suggestions from me? Is there anybody out there facing similar problems?
Thank you for the time you spend reading about my problem,

Hiryuna,
Did you ever manage to fix your phone? If so, please let me know because I have the same Ebay type phone as you and I also have the same problem.
