Hi!
I bought the MDA Vario 4/HTC Touch Pro just today.
Wonderfull machine, but i experience just 1 problem.
When I receive SMS/Text messages, it does not recognize from who the message is coming. When i click on the number who send it, it says that the number is not in my contact list.
I tried several ways, to store the contact in different ways, the country code +31/0031 or just internal without the country code.
Whatever i tried, it just does not help :S
Can anyone help me?

You are absolutly sure that you have the contacts in your contact list? Because it won´t recognize contacts from the SIM card. You will have to copy them from SIM to phone at least in my case.
The numbers in my contact list are all beginning with +316******** and works just fine.

Yep, same here
+316*****, but it does not recognize the names. When i click them, it says This contact is not in your list, would you like to add?
Tried hard reset,soft reset,delete all my contacts,tried set different options in the options menu.
I found 1 way to recognize it, but that is not the standard way:
When i fill in a Name in the "E-Mail" field in the properties of a contact, then it recognizes the sender.. Not any other way

That is really strange. But i don´t have a clue of what the problem could be then.
Also tried now:
When i Receive an MMS, then it shows the senders name :S
The only problem is at SMS :S

Are your contacts located on your simcard? If so, try to copy them to your phonememory, i remember i had a similar issue with my hermes and that solved the problem.

Add your contact to your Outlook Desktop application and sync your device.

Well, that's the way i do it and it works flawlessly, plus you never loose contacts again.
How about this. When the message of Add this contact pops up, just click yes, and replace that number with the one you already have for your contact, granted that it's the same, it'll detect it.

What field do you have the telephone numbers in?
When a text is recieved, it looks in the Mobile and txt fields within contacts. If the number is stored in Home, or Work, then it won't find them.
At least, that's how mine seems to work.

Its stored in the Mobile section..
i went to T-Mobile, but even the Demo device there doesnt seem to recognise numbers in te SMS section. Maybe an bug on the first Software of T-Mobile?
wouldn't surprise me tbh.
it could also be down to the cli used by the network.
Using schaps, you can play around with the number of characters used for CLI. Dunno how much difference it makes, as i never had to use it for that....t-mobile in the UK seems to work ok. But then, I never use the branded ROMs, cos the networks are notorious for making dodgy stock ROMs even worse....!
I have Found The Sollution
It is an registry bug from the t-mobile software..
It has been found on only the T-Mobile branded Raphael's.
How to fix it:
Install an Registry Editor
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Phone
Here is an D-Word registry called: CallIDMatch, the value on my phone was standing on "12". When you edit the value and set it to 8. All of the problems dissappear.
Don't matter if you have the contact stored as: 00316... / +316.../06...
It recognizes every type of storage of contact.
I Thank everybody here for thinking with me for a sollution!

Hi to all of you!
I'm a new member from Slovenia. Just got my Touch Cruise today. Very nice device I must say but I am having some problems already. First problem is the contact list. I copied all my contacts from SIM card to the phone. After that, I erased all contacts on the SIM card, so the contacts are only saved on the device. If I for example search a certain contact by writing a first few letters, every contact can be found as it should be. The problem starts when I browse these contacts only with my finger by ''pushing'' them up or down. In this case not all contacts are visible. Does anybody know why are some contacts not visible if I browse the list that way? I hope you understand what I'm trying to tell you. Hope some of you has the answer for this.
Thanks for your help. Great forum BTW

Hope u find this helpful
Try installing the PCManager
http://www.pocketcm.com/
and to hide sim contacts:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
Change ShowSIM from 1 to 0 and reboot.
Maybe someone confirm that the above reg edit works.

Are you sure you do not have the contacts filtered? In Windows Mobile, you can assign contacts to categories and there is an option to filter them using a menu item. Doesn't sound likely from your scenario, but perhaps it is something this simple?

I did this and after reboot it went back to the way it was before (showing SIM and phone contacts)...

Hello,
The hide_sim.cab does not work in my Touch Cruise. After a soft reset of the contacts SIM become visible.
Regards,
Tilt 8925
Is regedit preloaded into a Tilt 8925 or does someone know of a place to download it from. I don't see it in task mgr.
Am I the only one who has problem with the smart dialing on TC? When I "dial" a contacts name, the detail of the numbers do not appear on the panel like kaiser and all the other wm6 phones, so I sometimes have to start my calls by looking up the number in the contacts app
Any solution to this, if I am alone with this bug?
Solved now

I thought nobody had that problem Well, I installed the cab Touch_3G_Diapad attached. Your milage may differ
Found A Better Way
Forget about the cab file if you are comfortable with registry editting and set this value to 1
HKML>Software>HTC>SmartDialing>bSelExpand and set Decimal value from 0 to 1
This expands the details of the numbers of the contact as you scroll through so you can see and dial straight away. Better than just expanding the selected contact and dialing from Contacts as the cab file does
Hello,
WM5 supported looking up contacts by telephone number.
WM6.1 doesnt.
In WM5 you have "Enter a name or number..."
In WM6.1 it is "Enter a name..."
Anybody know, how to enable search by telephone number in WM6.1?
BR Robert
i am havving the same issue here as well, any idea? do i need to enable the voice command calling to enable this feature or soemthing?
Looks like its possible still to search for a number by entering telephone mode with green key and enter number there.
Can anyone approve this?

yep, WM6 seems to have this feature, although it seems not to have any logic.. when i know, my girlfriends number is like xxx-xxxx and it's saved there in the memory, it doesn't bring it to me when typing the number.. instead it shows some other contacts..
i mean.. what? does it except only first five digits and shows the results of first three contacts in alphabetic order that has those matching five digits..? please advice..?
EDIT: the best way would be, if man could simply search with a number straight from the contacts. just like in WM5.
I got it, the number can be searched on the Telephone mode by entering the EXACT number.. This means Country Code aswell!.. Boaargh...
Just use the search in start menu. It was there since wm2003. You can search with any data in a contact; name, TP#, email, address.......

Hi all,
Is there any fix to the HTC messaging?
All my contacts numbers are in the form +xxx (xx) xxx-xxxx.
when i try to send sms it keep telling me invalid recipient, i found out that its only accept the connected numbers +xxxxxxxxxxxxx , well, I'll not change the format i use.
so is there any way to fix that in it or shall I'll look for a 3rd party application?
Thx in advance.
Hi, I had the same problem and I resolved it deleting the ( and ) characters from my numbers

HI! I had the same problem.
In German it wrote "Ungültig(e) Teilnehmer"
I use Outlook 2007 and I like the Phonenumbers as stored correctly by Outlook.
I used to store it this way +xx (xxx) xxx xx xx even on my Mobile so that it is in the correct order in Outlook2007
Now this doesn´t work any more by sending SMS.
So I searched for the reason... if I deleted the caracters ( and ) like chris it was possible to send the SMS ---But, i don´t like to change the Numbers that way because in Outlook2007 it´s wrong. And of course much time waste.
So I tested a while last night and now I solved it this way:
Check this out:
if you delete the space here +xx (xxx) xxx_xx_xx to +xx (xxx) xxxxxxx it will work!!!
it seems to be only too much caracters. ()are not the problem. So Outlook2007-format still works too.
I hope this works in your Mobile too. Let me know!
Have fun!
I have the same problem. I find that if I create the new SMS to the same contact from the contact's record instead of from the Sense UI Messaging tab, it sends fine.
So the problem for me is only with new messages created from the messaging tab, which is a bit ridiculous.
Two questions really.
If I knew where to get a manual (can't find one anywhere) I'd not need to ask the first question:
OK, I've received an SMS which I want to forward to someone that isn't in my phonebook. I can hold-press the message and select 'forward', but instead of being able to put the number in to send it to, Hangouts pops up (which is the ****tiest text app I've ever seen, btw) and makes me select a contact. Because there is no contact for this number, I tried creating a new one (although I don't want a contact for this number) but when I put the number in, it won't let me save it; I've tried pressing enter but nothing happens. This is the single most frustrating thing I've found with KitKat so far.
In fact, I have another question:
Can anyone recommend a decent SMS app? Really, hangouts is truly awful.
