Hi
I have a question, I have a rahpael running WM6.1. When I get an SMS
instead of showing the name of the person that sent it, it shows the
number even I have the contact stored. What I figured is that the
stored number is XXX-XXXX and the SMS comes from +61 XXXXXXX.
In other phones Ive had (Nokia, Sony Ericsson) when an SMS comes from
that number, it does associate it with the contact name.
Any ideas on how to get this done on the Raphael
Hello
I think its a Windows problem... I had the same problem ..
I´ve changed all my contact numbers to +49....... ( i am from germany )
and now it shows me the contact if i get a sms or a call..
( i changed all in Outlook and sync it... its easer than in the Raphael with this little pencil )

i recently went into the contacts list on my xda orbit 2
only to find it was only showing just 2 contacts which were listed on my sim card,
i cannot see any of my outlook contacts at all ?
if i wish to phone anyone who was on my contacts list,
i have to find MMS from this person and dial from there,
contact is showing correctly as sender of sms as per listing in contacts
except i cannot view the list showing 'ALL' contacts
any help appreciated folks
-thanks
Dont you have a filter in the contacts view?
hi,
my orbits filter settings are set to exactly the same as my mrs's orbit2
her contacts list is a-o-k
sms text messages recieved prior to this problem ALL show senders name as it was listed in contacts & also the number as was provided when i created the contact
ALA - orbit seems to be using the original contacts list to provide sender details for text messages recieved prior to error happening,
yet.....
will NOT allow me to access the contacts details etc,
anyone got any input / ideas etc, as im well n truely stuck without these contacts
same troubles
I have also found that on regular occasions that my Orbit 2 looses all the ring tones and name tags tied to contacts.. I can reset them all and within a few weeks they go back to default... Gets most annoying when you try to set tones to know who is calling..
AFAIK that's a Registry Error.
It's a common thing in MS Windows (including Windows Mobile) to have registry errors.
Only 2 things to solve this kind of problem:
Restore from the latest backup
Hard Reset
Hi,
Ive searched the forum for an answer but couldnt find one so therefore i turn to you all for my question.
I recently got my MDA Vario IV and am really happy with it. There is only 1 problem. Whenever I recieve a text from someone it shows the phonenumber of that person and not the name. This makes it hard for me to see who send me a text as all i see is mobile phone numbers and not contact names.
So what i see is:
+31612345678
blablabla
And not:
Cilenia
blablabla
Ive tried a couple of things to fix this but none of them seem to work.
- I've deleted one of my contacts i text often with from both SIMcard and phone and readded his phonenumber. Didn't work...
- I've clicked on the number in the SMS and resaved it in my phonebook from there and then got another text from that person and still only the phonenumber... (when i click on the number in the sms it keeps saying its an unknown number and if i want to add it to the phonebook, even if i just added it 2 seconds ago.)
- I then deleted the contact and saved it again via the text i recieved... when i got a new text from that person, there is still only the phonenumber!
How do i fix this??? Its annoying the crap out of me
Cilenia
for some reason i got this problem only with one contact so far.. a new msg wont show the contacts name, changed the +49 country code because the recieved sms didnt have the CC ... but my started conversation does show the name ... just recieving msgs wont show it .. strange thingy
Hi all,
my first post.
When someone calls me, and that phone number belongs to a contact on
my SIM card, I see their name on screen.
I tend to use Windows Live Contacts extensively. (because I can only save
name and number on a SIM card). I don't use Outlook contacts since I had
a computer problem + my phone battery went dead
I can send txt messages, email and instant messages and make calls to my Live contacts just fine.
But if someone from my Live Contacts calls me, I don't see their name on
my screen (only a telephone number).
How can I make the information of my Live Contact appear on screen when
he/she calls me ? (name, picture,...)
Thx
hi, i've got a problem when receiving sms... the phone only displayed the number NOT his/her name with the number... i've got their number saved in my contacts n my SIM card... it's really annoying to receive a messages from a friend, but i don't recognize the number... n each time i click the number, the phone tell me that the number is not existed in my contact n offered to create new contact...
i've tried to overwrite the contact with the same number but it doesn't work...
pls help... thx
I have tried many cooked roms with my i780, almost all of them WM 6.5.
I realized today that if I have more than one number registered inside an outlook contact (I am used to register alternative mobile phone numbers in the "pager" field), when I receive an sms from a contact with more than one phone number, there is absolutely no way to find out which number was used to text you. Also, when you reply, you don't know the phone number you are texting, you just know that its the same that was used from your contact to text you in the first place.
I realized that today when I was chatting a friend of mine believing that I use my "free of charge" sms messages (which I do when I text his main number) and ended up charging my balance. He told me he was using his alternate number (that I have registered as pager) and when I tried to somehow confirm it, i see there is no way. All you get is the name of your contact. No way to access extra info either for received or sent messages.
Am I missing something? Has anyone else realized that and/or has a problem with it?
