[Q] SMS with phonenumber instead of name in text

Hi all,
I often get SMS messages like "one missed call from +43650989898989", but I want to see the name instead of the number. Is there an app which can do that?
I use CM7, no special apps. My contacts are all stored with country code (+43bla).
At the moment I have to click on the number, the phone app opens and I have to call the number and then I get the contacts name displayed on the screen, which is really annoying.
Thanks!
David

Full Screen Caller ID with Miui Roms

Wondering if there a fix?? I installed all full screen caller id apps and none of them work. Any suggestions??
Sent from my X10 MIUI 1.9.16 using xda premium

bumping this old thread in hopes there's a solution?
a guy on the miui forums said to go into settings/calls/phone security and enable 3rd party app access, but I'm not seeing this feature on 1.11.25

Hi, You don't need a 3th party caller ID on MIUI Rom, if you want a full picture you just need to do the following:
Edit contact, and Select "Add photo"
Pick the photo you want as caller id
When it ask if you want to replace the current photo select NO
save the contact
Now every time the contact call you, you will see the new photo as full caller ID
Only problem you have to do it for every contact
I hope this help you

Thanks, while this does work it's not as configurable as BIG Caller ID! I know you don't need it, but I don't really like the default one so I'm looking for a way to use this other one. Also the stock one doesn't sync pics with your FB cointacts

[App] SMS Name Fix 1.0.2

In times of Win mobile i used SMS Fix application, that was trying to find contact by phone number in incoming text.
I was missed it on android and so decided to develop the same app for it
Sms Name Fix is this application!
In the current version it has the following features:
1. When you receive a text message with phone number
app tries to find the contact in your phone book by this number and display the name in message's text when success.
2. When you touch phone number in any text Sms Name Fix allows you to dial or send message immediately instead of basic android behavior!
Any suggestions and comments will be very much appreciated!
You can download app from Android Market http://market.android.com/details?id=com.exi.ps.smsname

Nice, app works on my Ics rom 4.0.4

I have installed this app.
Works like a charm!
Thank you!
What future plans for app? Any cool features?

Yes, i've just added 2 new feautres in popup dialog:
1. Save number to existing contact if app found contact

Great! I missing this one! It's very useful!

App seems to be very usefull.
I dont need function to add contact name in incoming text,
but the idea to extend basic android behavior with text and allow users to quick send message to unknown number is great.
I think that you can rename your app SMS Buns оr Simple SMS or something like that and add some more useful features like sending contact details via sms or email. That will be even more usefull for usual users cos they always use native firmwares.
What about small enhancements pack for Android?)

Thank you
New version 1.1.0!
I changed app name to SMS Enhancer and add new feature. Now it
allows to send contact details as simple text via SMS or EMail instead of vCard.
Hope will be useful.

Exactly what i always need! Thanks

Can you please add in share contact: sharing of postal address too and IM's.
Thank you!

Hi, his is what I miss from WM6.5 but it no more in Google plays, can you please please to put it in there again. or have you changed the name of it.

[Completed] [Need help] Contact names problem

I have a problem with contact names
When I receive a sms the number comes like +2301234567
When I receive a call it looks like 1234567
For instance if I save the number +2301234567 to my friend’s name JOHN in my contact list i can see his name when a sms is received but can’t see his name when he calls me.
If i save the number 1234567 i can see his name in calls but not in sms!
I have my contacts saved on my SIM so i can’t add multiple numbers to a contact.
Any help would be very appreciated
I'm using a Lenovo k3 note with Cuoco92 ROM android 5.1
EDIT:
The only solution i found was to copy all contacts from SIM to phone and have numbers with prefix in one and without in the other.
