Open the People app, go to the menu -> More -> Linked contacts. Unlink all the duplicates. Go back to the main screen and you'll be able to delete the duplicate entries.

Thats not going to work, what you have to do is go in your gmail on a pc or anything other than your phone and go to contacts and delete the duplicates. The problem is your contacts are being save to gmail and simcard so everytime you sync with gmail your contact are going right back on your phone along with you sim contacts wich are the same as gmail contacts.this will stop it from happening everytime you sync or flash a rom

It depends completely on whether the contacts are stored as phone contacts (which is the default for contacts entered/imported on the phone) or google contacts. I've had the same issue the OP had, and it was caused by duplicate phone contacts, not google contacts. Doesn't hurt for him to check, of course, you may be right
also the duplicates could be coming in from htcsense.com if you use that or tmobile's contact backup crap if you use that. I also had an issue with HTC Sync where it didn't like that I had contacts with notes on them & started auto duplicating my contacts.

check whether your contacts is set to sync or not.

I seem to have the same problem. My contacts are definitely sync'ing.
In South Africa the mobile format is 0xx xxx xxxx, which is how I have saved my contacts. Sometimes a call or message will come through as +27 xx xxx xxxx (+27 is South Africa) and then ICS doesn't link the number to the contact. GB used to do it perfectly.
I had the same issue. I installed exDialer (free) + ICS theme. Not a solution but it is a great workaround.
Try this, press Menu > Manage apps, now make sure you are on the "All" tab, look for "Contact Storage" and tap it, now press "Force stop" then "Clear data", now open the contacts app and it will re-sync your contacts, hopefully this will fix the issue.
that works great for contacts, but Go SMS still only shows numbers. It seems like everything else has synced correctly (and yes, I cleared Go SMS data, as well )
I see the same issue and found that changing the numbers to +15555555555 format made the contacts display correctly in Go SMS at least. I have a mixture of number formats in my contacts from my various phones over the years. ie; (555) 555-5555, 555-555-5555, etc.

I tried your suggestion...I removed the '-' from one phone number, then went to gosms to check, and all my contact names were there...even ones I didn't edit.
soooo...I have no idea what happened, but everything works now
thanks!!!

Edit numbers to be in proper format with country code.
SMS & MMS
I have all my numbers stored in contact in +355 or whatever...
If somebody call me it displays correctly, but SMS messages from some people are writen in 050... only numbers, no name.
Also on some carriers like Si.Mobil (SLO) the MMS messages are not working.
Some idea?
Check if you have multiple contacts for the same person, maybe they're even on different locations (Gmail, Phone, Sim). I've got all mine on Gmail Contacts. MMS works for me on Si.Mobil without issues (received a holiday greet from Si.Mobil yesterday).
Am having the same problem ... using Pansi SMS and the names don't show up. It works fine in the call log, just the SMS that's affected.
I tried a fresh install of a rom contacts synced through my exchange account without signing into my gmail account and had the problem. Logged into gmail and still have the problem.
Anyone has any idea? And yes, all numbers are in the local format +965 (for Kuwait) followed by a space and xxxxxxxx.
Will appreciate all help
I have about 800 contacts all saved with country code, when i receive a phone call the contact name does not appear it shows unknown, what should i do? when i receive an sms the sender name appears normaly please help
Did a quick google search. A few folks with the same kinda issue. Are you syncing your contacts with google contacts? Do they appear correctly when you go to contacts.google.com? If they do, then try unlinking the phone with google contact sync, then clearing data from contact storage, google contacts sync, and phone (Settings > Apps > app name > clear data). Then relink your google contact sync. See if that works. Don't really know though. Try, won't lose anything.
Got a weird one here for you guys. My ATT Note 8 will not display the contact information when someone calls. If I do not answer the phone it will display a notification that I missed a call from that person (displaying the name). I have checked everything I can think of.
I've tried rebooting and toggling "only display contacts w/ names" (was recommended from a Google search). When it is paired to my company truck it displays the names on the radio as normal but only the number is displayed on the phone. I cleared the cache and data from my Google account. Removed the Google account and redone it. Toggled everything possible in the dialer settings.
When ringing it displays only the number with a button below it that says "add to contacts" but when you go to call history it displays the correct contact information.
The only thing I have not done, yet, is a factory reset.
Anyone had this issue or know how to fix it?
Anyone?
I've had the same issue.... Hope we can find a fix....
Have y'all tried the settings in the phone app (green phone icon)? There's a setting under "other settings" that says show contact info. Mine was on by default so I i don't know why it would be turned off.
Hope this help
Had a same issue. i am from India and i deleted the vodafone applications and boom it was solved.
could be similar issue. go to any phone number in your contacts and see which apps have use the permission and try deleting those apps.
Hi, I'm using the Chinese ROM version 12S Ultra and whenever I get a normal phone call and the contact is saved in my contacts there is no name showing. Yet, when the call is done and i check the call logs, the name shows there.

Try long press on the icon contact/information/verify that the necessary permissions are granted.
In the app settings, check that: display photos and info and assign photos are activated.
Hide incomplete numbers disable.
If it still doesn't work, delete the contact app data.
