problems with contacts... - Touch Pro, Fuze General

If somebody were to call me or message me, usually i would see their names. For some reason, it only shows their numbers now, is anybody else experiencing or know of the source and/or solution to this problem?

Never happened to me. Is it possible that you have multiple entries per person/phone number in your phonebook? On my nokia e61, that used to happen where if i had the number listed twice, it would jsut get confused. you could try removing all your contacts from your phone then adding them all again

this happens to me too, I am not quite sure what is actually happening but usually if i just power cycle the phone the contacts come back or sometimes I just have resync with outlook.

The problem you mention although seems to be the same, is actually limited to the symbian operating system. I actually had a great chat with a nokia telephone rep who helped me rectify the problem on my e70.
With WM, every time i flash a new ROM the initial customization rips the contacts of my sim and places them in my contacts, so I see 3 of everybody. I then must "hide" SIM contacts, which solves 1/3 of them, then I must find which ones have advanced infos like multi emails, address, etc, and which one came from the sim (only name/#) and delete the one that isnt info rich (if anyone knows a simple way around this please let me know!)
Anyhow, what I am trying to say is duplicate contacts is not your issue. It could be discrepancy between your ROM and provider. If you are using a ROM developed for another provider, that is likely to be at the heart of your issue. My best advice would be to look into a different ROM, and if you are running a custom ROM, look into changing your rilphone.dll.
Best of luck and if you fix the problem, let us know what you did, so others experiencing similar issues will have a fix

This is a well known problem on branded Touch Pros. The solution can be found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471329
You need to use Schapp's Advanced Config to adjust number of trailing digits matched. On my one, it was set to 12, I've set it to 10 and the problem is no more!
Search the forum for Advanced Config if you don't already have it.

Inesoft Address Book. PLEASE HELP

So far with Custel 1.0/2.0 and XDA live 1.1/1.2 Inesoft Address Book Caller ID becomes disabled, and the entire program becomes essentially useless after installing and soft resetting. Any reason the roms are suppressing this program? Fixes?
Is it a compatibility issue or a simple registry fix?

Its running fine on Dutty's latest verison
Try 2.0 since it is the latest version. It's free if you bought after July 2006.
I am using 2.0. And I even tried the 2.1 Beta.
Its odd, I put the original ATT Tilt Rom back on it, and it just keeps getting disabled. Is there any fix?
I even tried a hard reset and installing Inesoft Address Book 2.0 by itself then resetting. Then it just gets disabled and my bottom launch tray disappears.

I just tried it on Dutty's Version. After 2 soft resets it just completely stopped working! How can i fix this
First, let's verify it is the address book. I have been usin git for along tie and it works FINE. I have read reports that there is a hacked version (warez) floating around that the caller ID does not work.
I'd contact Inesoft directly for support.
I have contacted Inesoft. Still awaiting a response. I've only had this problem with the Tilt/Kaiser. It worked fine until doing some soft resets and then PRESTO it was gone. And yes I am using a legit version.
It seems as if my bottom launch tray (where the small inesoft address book icon is) gets completely disabled, and consequently disables inesoft. The program doesn't disappear right away. It disappears probably over an entire day after multiple soft resets.
So, just to clarify....
It works find after a soft reset, but after an entire days of multiple soft resets it does not work?
After 1 soft reset it still works?
After 2 soft resets it still works?
But after 3-4-5 it dosent work any more?
Everything else works after these resets? Like it being the default contacts; or the default history manager, etc?
I have the issue happenning with Dutys Rom#5. Caller ID doesn't stay enabled and every so often the address book comes up blank. I use it for the address book shortcuts.

There is no "exact" amount of resets but eventually it just completely gets shut out. The only thing it can do after it shuts down is just edit my contacts and add photos to names etc. But as for Caller ID and Call history functions etc, it just keeps getting disabled no matter how many times i try to re-enable it.
xda live 1.2
Works fine on xda live 1.2...actually have used it on all variants of xda live.

HTC Sense Twitter Tab (HTC Peep)

Hello everyone,
So far I have seen many people having off and on trouble with HTC Peep (Twitter tab in HTC Sense).
I wanted to create this to gather all the information and list a few different fixes that have worked for some people.
Specifically we are getting:
"There was a connection error while attempting to download tweets"
or
Issues actually entering the username and password.
Fixes so far:
Trying on only WiFi/3G (some people have it working on one and not the other)
Hard Reset (but sometimes only works for a couple of 'syncs')
Removing the login information from the registry
Making sure the Location settings are set
Using Dutty's 'Remove My Location' Tool
What have other people tried to get this working?
I found that using Dutty's tool worked, then it only worked on WiFi and now nothing again!

So setting the time correctly... can anyone define this? Syncing time with some server? I mean it's set to be the same as my PC time which syncs to time severs.

just need to adjust the time to the current time..and it will allows u to login without any problem.this way works for me.u can have a try on this.
It's making me mad! I have the latest dutty ROM (for topaz), tryed with other roms. It just says the same: error while connecting or after i login with wi-fi and then try with data connection it says network unavailable.
I installed duttys disable my location feature. Nothing...
Where in the registry are stored the login credetials an other settings? Do you have any idea what to try?
I tried to set up the clock correctly. It is correct (correct after what clock? ). Still nothing...
I found using the new EnergyROM on my Touch Pro2 works great. The Twitter engine was fixed up in the latest versions, works all the time now on 3G and WiFi.
I'm already using the latest version of manila 2.5 (19202525) but it just doesn't work. Did you do anything special? Like enabling my location or something...
I'm getting the same problem here on my HTC Topaz. Peep only connects through Wi-Fi and not through 3G. Is there a solution?
Kind regards,
Sander
I had the same problem.
I went under settings in manila and then Data services. Select the time sync one and turn off the Allow to use network value to update time.
Twitter was working and I turned the above on and twitter stops?
Anyhow the above worked for me. good luck
Background
Is it just me or is the TAB almost useless as the TEXT BOX for writing new PEEPS has black background? And when writing the text is blue so it almost impossible to see what you write....
Does any know of a solution?
I hope anyone can help me with the problems i am having with HTC Peep,
Some of the time it works fine while updating. other times i get a connection error.. but thats not the worst problem. i was wondering if anyone could help me find a register setting or tweak that would set a maximum limit to the amount of tweets in htc peep, the ammount of errors and loading time of the tab seems to increase when the ammount of tweets become more and more. for now the only solution i have found to speed it up again is hard reset and i dont like that if anyone could help me i would be really greatfull!

I've Already Fixed it...
Solved the problem...
Uncheck the Data services of twitter...
and then, check your Date and Time...
i tried to check the date is "My Locations" *i'm not input my city...
after that, i choose 12-Hours Time,Not 24-Hours Time...
i don't know which one the correct one...
but i changes that, after that my HTC PEEP came NORMALLY again....
to those of you who are still getting this error. mine error's where fixed after removing all of the auto disconnect data apps.. like wmlonglife
Have finally ditched Peep in favour of PockeTwit...
Today was the last straw. I had just installed a new Storage Card. Whether the problems with Peep stem from this or this was just coincidental I dont know.
It had been working fine for a month or so, until today.
But this is not the first time Peep has stopped working.
It gives me a combination of error connecting and incorrect username or password consistently.
In the past I was able to get it working by logging in with a new twitter account. Not this time though.
I have also tried:
- deleting all registry account settings for twitter - even deleted the registry keys in desperation and re-imported them.
- renewing the connection database.
- Checking the location and time settings.
All to no avail.
PockeTwit works perfectly - all the time, every time.
So I have removed the Peep Tab from the Sense UI until an update or new ROM comes out fixing the silly thing....
Life is too short to stuff around with this sort of bad programming.
There are too many tabs the sense UI in any case.
HTC Twitter login problem - what worked for me
I have a Sprint Rhodium with WM.6.5. My twitter tab kept giving me an incorrect login info message, even after several soft resets. I changed my password online, removed Twitter home tab, then replaced it after a soft reset. I was then able to login. I was very relieved I didn't have to hard reset or try registry changes.
I hope this works for someone else!
HTC Peep "All Tweets" Tab
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has been having the following problem with HTC Peep. IT loads fine, in the first screen I can read all my latest tweets. However, when I want to reply or press "All Tweets" the app goes to the next page and then freezes. This sometimes causes the whole telephone to hang and requires a soft reset. If I'm quick enough, then I can get out of the "All Tweets" screen and recover back to Sense.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Perhaps I just need to hard reset? Who can give me any handy tips? Thanks in advance!
The solution
Just put your proxyserver off, and Twitter wil work again.
"All Tweets" direct link?
Hi,
I am searching mad for o way to direct link the "All Tweets" button from a shortcut. So far i figured out that "All Tweets" is a manila subpage so the link should look like
"\windows\manila.exe --switchtopage twitter.page.something".
Can someone help me make this work?
I started having a problem with my twitter on my HD2. When i try to update, an error message comes up saying " The account was forbidden to access the twitter server!?". Has anyone had this problem before?

Help with Evo setup/issues with cm7 (evervolv atm)

Hey Everyone,
This is probably my first or second post here ever. I have just recently really gotten into trying different roms and flashing my phone. I can generally find my answer in posts already around but am having issues that I cannot find answers to.
1. I have a voice mail icon that will not go away. I have flashed Evio sense based Rom and Evervolv cm7 based rom and it will show up with both. I called Sprint and had them try to clear some stuff out (it was fun trying to keep them from figuring out I wasn't in sense anymore ) which has actually lead me to not have any data connection except for 4g. I am doing a recovery of an old sense rom that I have a nandroid of to check and see if a profile update will fix this issue though. My main concern is the voice mail icon. I do not use google voice and have my inbox completely empty. I also have called myself and left a message and gone in and dialed in and checked it and it still is there. Am I going to need to do a full reinstall from scratch to avoid having this? My guess is it could somehow be saved in my TI backup that I have and showing up after I restore the data. Is this possible?
2. I really do not like the interface for the phone in cm7. I know I can get Go Contacts or Dialer One to replace the contact search and the initial plug in of the number but once I call it switches to the same in phone interface and this is the interface that I really want to change. It seems like every thread that I have found just suggest changing to Dialer One or another app like this but does not change the actual in phone look. It also seems really unresponsive sometimes taking up to 5 or 10 seconds to end a call and leaving me standing there poking the end call button over and over until it responds. Does anyone else have this issue?
3. The final issue I am having is with MMS and from what I have read it seems to be an issue with cm7 in general. Is there any workaround for this? The other parts I feel like there is probably something that I am just missing and can deal with but if I cannot get MMS working then its probably going to be a deal breaker for cm7 until it is fixed.
In closing I would like to thank the community here. There is a lot of hard work and dedication to helping others that goes on and I really appreciated any help that you can give me! I know my questions are wordy and long but I wanted to explain what I have done to try to fix these issues on my own before coming here to you all. Thanks again!
I have the voicemail icon issue as well. I have had it with other roms. When I loaded up this time, the first thing I did was set up Google Voice and I didn't have the issue. All of the sudden, a couple of hours later, the ROM forgot I was using Google Voice and then what do you know...the beloved voicemail icon shows up. I have seen several "solutions" for this, but none of them work. Why isn't there a setting to clear the icon or an app that will do it?...or is there?...or maybe a command in Terminal Emulator.
I am using TAKEphONE as my dialer as I have had success with it. As far as I know you can't change the actual phone app. Sense is just a skin on top of the phone app as far as I can tell because when you have Google Voice ask you if you want to use Voice or Sprint, you can see the stock Android phone app for a few seconds.
I do not have any experience today with MMS so I am not sure about that.
The issue with the VM icon is still seeming to haunt me however I flashed Ginger-Ale and if you go settings>call>voice mail icon reset you can get rid of it. I am however unsure if this will be a permanent fix or if it will work after another flash but I will know in about 15 min once I flash the new one by Deck.
I also found that if I went into titanium backup and froze phone.apk (I did this to see if by chance I could get Dialer One to not use the regular CM7 in call phone interface that it removed the Voice Main icon but also caused the phone to repeatedly FC. I ended up having to flash to a nandroid backup which of course brought back the VM icon but it at least let me know where the issue was coming from.
Completely not an answer, but just so you know...
Any time you call Sprint and they do any communication with your phone, they pull the phone's info - rom version, radio, kernel, etc. This information helps them troubleshoot the problems you're having. Usually this will tell them which official release you have on your phone - if you've updated via OTA, etc. So they may not have known that what you're running isn't Sense, but they do know it's a custom rom and that you're rooted. Whether or not the person you were talking to pulled this information, took note of it on your account, or even cares, is something no one can answer. But it is a possibility.
So if you're ever having software issues and you take it in to Sprint (even if you've unrooted) and they refuse to fix it - you'll know why. Of course, you'd have to get a combination of asshole Sprint employees to have issues, but it is a possibility.
I've heard of the tech mentioning the custom rom to some people, so you know that even if they don't say anything, they know.

[Q] Saved contacts Coming up as Unknown in Incoming Calls

Hello all, this is the first time I am posting but I have been following the forums for quite a while and haven't found an answer to this particular issue so thought I'd ask here.
I have a One XL on Rogers and have tried both Cleanrom and ViperXL rom and am having the same issue on both... for some reason, some contacts that are saved in my address book (synced via Google), only show the phone number and never the contact name during incoming calls...
, I check the call history and the contacts name and picture show up, but a red question mark is shown and not the number...
It is wierd because some contacts show name/number fine, but others don't.
Interestingly enough, I flashed the Codename Android 3.6.5 Rom also and this is the only one that seems to not have this issue.. I get the name and number during incoming calls.
Has anyone else expereinced such an issue?? I can't memorize peoples numbers thats why I have their names in the contacts address book and its frustrating when only the numbers are showing!
Please keep all question threads in the Q&A section only. Thank you.
Thread Moved.

You on CWM or TWRP?
CWM has been known to mess up some dialer functions (including ID, if I recall properly), with errors persisting even after flashing other ROMs. Switching from an AOSP ROM to CleanROM was one of the causes; in addition to the fact that CWM should not be used on our device to begin with.
I'm using TWRP.
So i did some more digging around and this problem or a somewhat similar problem was expereicnced on galaxy nexus ics roms which I found in this thread:

I found the issue had to do with the Rogers caller ID for whatever reason in any ROM i flashed (aside from the Codename android JB Rom) conflicting with the contacts in my address book making some of them show up as unknown.
I just called rogers and disabled the name portion of the caller Id and everything works now.

I`ve been having the same problem. A possible fix is listed in the thread.
1) Flash a different radio
2) Click fix permissions
This fixed the problem for me. Not sure if it`s the radio flash or the fix permissions that fixed the unknown callers. I just did both just in case.
I was having this problem almost everytime I flashed a new sense rom. The fix for I found was when you boot for the first time do not setup the google account. skip that part and continue on into the launcher. Once there restore your call log if you do that. Then reboot the phone. When it boots back to your launcher go into settings > accounts and setup your google account. sync. Should work.
Thanks to all those who replied...
Like i mentioned in my last post, it was a rogers issue with their call display feature messing up my saved contacts when they called. I think this is a Rogers/fido specific problem here in Canada. i got it to work by having them remove the name portion of my call display.

Don't know if this is still an issue but I was having the phone (i317M Note 2) just show numbers and not the names on caller id. Just ran Fix Permissions on CWM and caller id now showing names!

phone number formatting issues

Anybody know what might be going on here? Ill explain. Also wanted to note that I never had a problem with this issue until about three weeks ago. basically my contact list has two or sometimes three numbers listed for each contact one for Google and one for Samsung and what I'm noticing is that some are formatted like this (985)***-**** and some are formatted like this +1985***-****. sometimes when I send a text message by just choosing from the list quickly I'll send a message that no one will ever receive and I know this because later I'll get a text from that person and a new text entry won't show up with that person's name and picture just like the previous one. I've actually had a three-week run where I didn't notice it and just thought somebody was ignoring me for three weeks. I tried one of those number formatting apps but it hasn't seemed to fix it. Anyone have any advice or ideas in this area? Thanks

You'd probably just have to delete them manually and check if your contacts are syncing duplicates because they are stored on the sim, Google , and Samsung .... I'd just disable sync from the quick tab notification bar.
