Anyone knows what I can do to update the numbers to match the contact it was assigned under? I deleted an activesync profile on my phone, and then restored it with another laptop, and now my call history is full of numbers without any names. Help? Soft resetting didn't do anything...
Try installing "Advanced Config" (www.touchxperience.com). There's a setting under 'Phone' that reads 'Call ID match'. Set this to the "last x numbers that is used in matching contact with phone number". I.e. in the netherlands we have these formats:
+31xxxxxxxxx
0xxxxxxxxx
(the last 9 are always the same), so for Holland you put this value to 9.

It's 8 for mine. But it's already defaulted to 8, and the call history is still not updated.
yeah same here, pre set to 8 but just numbers and not contacts (except for 1 call has a name)
I Have the same issue, 8 doesn't work, nor does 9....
I have altered the sample sms-numbers to have only numbers, no spaces, but still, no luck...
Does anyone have a solution yet?
Could it be that you have duplicate contacts, ie. the same numbers in 2 contacts?
Not the Cell Phone numbers, but yes on home phone number (I actually share my home phone with my wife, so that number is in two contacts, yes )
For some reason I received an sms of my wife this morning, and now I did get a name, so it appears to be a solution on new messages only... Hopefully it is now solved for all the messages...
Same issue here, although mine was caused by some messing around I was doing with the contacts.
Call history had names and numbers to begin with.
I synced the contacts with my work computer to mess with them.
I synced them back to the phone.
I backed up the contacts with PIMBackup.
I removed the option to sync contacts in ActiveSync (which removes the synced contacts from the phone).
I restored the contacts with PIMBackup.
Existing call history now only has numbers, but new calls have names.
Anyone know of a way to update the existing call history to show the names?

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
I have and HTC desire S and I live in Mauritius (country code +230). Unfortunately, the full capacity of an HTC phone such as HTC sense is not working here due to whatever reasons and my phone was bought in Italy.
My problem with my phone is that whenever i save a number (1234567) without the country code in my phone contacts (saved on google contacts), and if i get a message from that person, it shows itself as +2301234567 in the messages section. And if i save the number by +2301234567 in the phone contacts, it will then show as 1234567 in the messages section. Every time this happens, I have to manually save the number again to the contact so that it contains both the number with and without the country code:
For Eg:
Jerry
Call mobile 1234567
Call Other +2301234567
I need to save it both ways in order for it to be recognised in the phone contacts and the messages. Any idea how to fix it?
Why do some messages not have contacts' names on them, just phone number that they were sent from, even though they are entered as contacts?
constanty running "contact list is being updated"
after 24 hours!!!
Its already has been updated, whatsapp, viber, hangauts working well
but in some contacts numbers repeats tens times, so contacts itself very very slowly
duplicate contacts app showing tha now i have 11 400 000 contacts insted less than 1000 before upgrading to 6
whatsapp freezes on "initializing" - partly solved by apk instaling - working, history is uploaded but no contacts at all
viber partly works - contact list has names but no phone numbers, no history so start new chat possible only from desktop
hangouts has all my contacts, possible use hangouts contacts to make calls
settings->accounts - whatsapp sync is off and no option to switch it on, under google account only chrome can be synchronized
When I dial number which in contacts its appear on top but not active (impossible to dial by pressing on it)
Calls dont appear in call history
Can anyone help?
