On my messages, some show the contact names then some of them just shows their number. I want to show it show the names rather than just the numbers. Anybody having this issue?
Do you mean on some it's just the name & some it'll say Name (M 123456789) ??? If so, the ones with just the name means you only have 1 number for that contact & nothing else. If you have more than 1 number or even an email address listed, you'll get the second option.

Hi,
I have a K-Jam with the latest Rom but I have a problem with the "To:' box that when I type a name in some name show up but not all of them that are in my contact list.
I thought it would be maybe because of categories but no as all my contacts are categorized.
If I actually click on the To: link it brings up the full contact list with all the names...but jsut entering letters of the name in the initial box only brings up certain names.
Anyone knows what the deal is with that and how to fix it please ?
Hi
how can I change default number for a contact?
for example tochflo only use mobile number to send sms and I want to use work number as default
tnx
no solution?
I do remember that when adding contacts to the 15 under People tab, you were able to select which number to display as the primary number. Maybe remove the contact, then re-add them?

this is just for people you add in the people tab
what about the others?
If you select a contact that is not in your contacts tab, it gives you all numbers to choose from. There is no default number.
I get it now. Start -> all programs -> contacts.
In there, it lists a number to go with the contact.
You wish to change this number yes?

I want to change the number that touchflo sms manager or whatever it is uses to send sms.
Not sure I fully understand the problem, BUT:
If you go to the Message tab, and start a new message, as you type in the Contact's name you can choose whichever number you have stored for them as the number to use. I just sent myself a test text, to my landline, using this method - it was pretty easy, and didn't require me to change any details about myself.
Hope this helps.

the way you mentioned is for WM SMS APP but what about TF3D?
For most of my contacts, when I go to compose a new message and begin typing their name, their name shows up multiple times on the list.
I have gone into settings and only chosen "My Contacts" in gmail to show, which has each of my friends listed only ONCE, but some may have multiple numbers under their name (such as phone & google voice number). If their GV number shows up alongside their actual number it's not a problem, since it's only very few of my friends and sometimes I actually want to send a message to their GV instead of their phone.
The problem is that for contacts that I just have listed once in My Contacts, which most have only one number attached to their name, they'll show up twice and sometimes three or four times in the list.
For example:
- I have John Doe in My Contacts under gmail, and his number is +1-555-666-5555.
- I type "John" in the contact part of my text, and the following shows:
John - (+15556665555)
John Doe - (+15556665555)
John Doe - (+1-555-666-5555)
The name and number are obviously changed, but wtf.. why does it show up in various forms if I only actually have the last one in gmail?
i think it might be syncing off any linked accounts you have? such as Facebook maybe. you can go into the [John Doe] contact wherever u see multiple of the same #'s and you'll prob see the number show there multiple times too, reason is because some people have their # listed on their FB account and thats prob syncing into ur address book too. and their FB default name might be the other name showing, as opposed to like the nickname or w/e you'd use for them on your address book.
Thanks for the help, but that's not the issue. I made sure to go into Display Options and uncheck everything but "My Contacts" under Google. The problem still persists.
I know it's not a rom issue, because the same thing happened to me as soon as I got the phone.
Also, in the example I used (the name and number were changed, obviously), the friend I was looking at only had one number listed in the contacts list on gmail, yet it still shows a few variations on my phone.
Not really a big issue, just a nuisance.
While I don't think this is a bug, it's a huge annoyance nonetheless and if there is a fix I want to know how to get rid of it.
Next to many of my contacts, when I go to text, their names are shown as "XXX XXXXX (M ###-###-####):" with their number being where the # is. And I am curious as to what is causing this. It only occurs in some, but not all. I'm thinking it's an issue with syncing my contacts with facebook, as the ones who lack facebook pictures don't have this. It's not a big deal, but I just want to know their name, not their number. I already (obviously) have that.
the ones with just the name means you only have 1 number for that contact & nothing else. If you have more than 1 number or even an email address listed, you'll get it where it shows the number.
This is so that you know which number the text came from. your reply will go to the last number that text you.
Is there an easy way to add a new contact from a txt? What I mean is, say you get a txt from someone not in your contacts. Instead of their name, their number shows up. Is there a way to make a new contact with them without have to write the number down and adding it manually?

don't think so...you have to copy it and then paste into the dialer and then save to contacts
When your in the txt message, press menu key and then you'll get the option add to person, and then make a new contact with that number. That is how it works with mine so it should work on yours to.
short press on the message from the number that isn't in your contacts, then select add contact.
