[Completed] Lenovo a916 not showing Contacts from Contact list?

[Completed] Lenovo a916 not showing Contacts from Contact list? - XDA Assist

Hello,
is there any solution to this problem?
I have all numbers stored with country code synced with google contacts. When someone calls and number is without contry code(local) it shows only number without name. I tried everything...erasing all contacts, putting in just one contact and when receiving a call it shows just number. When the number is stored local(without country code) then the contact is shown but it is not always like that. I tried also adding a line ro phone min match=7 but no effect. Android is kitkat 4.4.2 For now I installed CALLER ID from Playstore, and the name pop up great, but i rather see that it works without this Application.
The number is in following format:
+38641 123 456
041 123 456
Thanks for any help!

[Q] Caller name in SMS and Phone

Hi. I have a problem with any SMS App and Dialers, hope you could help.
(Note that I have searched lot for this on the net lot of people are reporting he same but no real solution)
In My country Phone numbers are 8 digits (2 area code + 2 Phone Number). Some area codes start with 0. I store the numbers as follows:03xxxxxx in phone book. When a message is received it's received with country code ahead of the number:ex. if country code is 876 then number would be 8763xxxxxx - (Att that the 0 is removed). hence the SMS app doesnt recognize the contact name. If I store the Numbers as 8763xxxxxx then SMS app will show the name properly but then the Dialer application wouldn't find the contact name since when receiving a call, the local number is shown without the country code(i.e 03xxxxxx).
I don't have the problem with contacts in area code not starting with 0.
Could you please advise where is the problem since I see other android phones(like Samsung) dont have this issue.
I have Desire HD.
Thanks

maybe it will help if you try to replace your phonebook app with some other at market?

Or you could go through your phonebook and have all your contacts listed with 2 numbers. One with the 0 and one without it. It's a pain but it would fix all of it.

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

[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.

[Completed] Huawei TAGAL00(Enjoy5s) Contact name not recognisez on caller screen but shows number

Huawei TAGAL00(Enjoy5s) Contact name not recognisez on caller screen but shows number
Hi I have purchased a "Huawei Enjoy5s" in China.
MODEL NUMBER: HUAWEI TAG-AL00
BUILD NUMBER: TAG-AL00C00B124
ANDROID 5.1 KERNEL: 3.10.65
EMOTION UI VERSION: 3.1 LITE
The phone was running fine on 'chinese sim card'.
But I moved to a new country, I use a 'local sim card' i.e. a sim card from a carrier in the new country.
I have noticed that when I use the 'local sim card', the phone does not show the name of local contacts during incoming calls.
Instead it shows
1.Number of the contact: xxxx-xxxx (please note, the number is a local number and is displayed without the 'country code'.)
2.contact name: unknown. (please note, in my phone book, the contact has the number stored with the country code ie +230xxxx-xxxx)
3.Name of the district the call is from or 'Mobile' in case of call from mobiles.
I have tried to remove the country code in the phonebook and the contact name appears on the incoming call screen. But then the contact name disappears from SMS in messaging screen and shows number only. (note that the sms shows number with country code ie +230xxxx-xxxx).
Please note that in the phone book, when you select the contact, all call history for that contact are recognised irrespective of being with or without country code.
BUT under the call history of the dialer, the numbers are not recognised unless the contact has the number stored with the country code.
I believe
the phone app is unable to match the number to that stored under contacts unless it is exactly the same ie without country code
V/S
the messaging app that is unable to match the number to that stored under contacts unless it is with the country code.
Is there a patch or variable to change in system file to fix this?
I have cleared data from (2 phone apps being a dual sim, contacts phonebook, contacts storage, phone/messaging storage) and reloaded my contacts from vcf file or from google account but still no success.
-I have tried to look for alternative apps to replace the "phone/dialer/incoming-caller-screen" app but again this is not possible due to huawei launcher.
-I have also been able to install google play services framework and gapps successfully but it did not solve the number-contacts problem.
-
I have even tried edit build.prop under system with build.prop editor and saved, reboot, cleared data, resyn, but no success. I modified only "ro.config.hwft_MatchNum=11" to "=7" as my skill are limited. (I have read you can modify boot.img 's build.prop file but I dont know if it will work and have not tried it and dont know how to do it.)
-I then updated the firmware to BUILD NUMBER: TAG-AL00C00B156 but no success for the problem.
Now I am back to firmware BUILD NUMBER: TAG-AL00C00B124.

Huawei TAGAL00(Enjoy5s) Contact name not recognisez on caller screen but shows number

I have come across another post where I have realised that Huawei makes a similar model( huawei GR3 but has no fingerprint feature). This makes me believe that Huawei Tag-al00 has a Chinese android 5.1 firmware set to the Asia/China region. And its highly likely that I won't find a custom ROM to fix the bug as most users in china won't experience this issue unless they are abroad. I am even more determined to find out what needs to be edited in system files, so others can do the same safely.

great decision to uninstall and reinstall it again but you need to make sure you backup all your contact or just automatically synch contact to your linked google account

Hello, I got exactly the same issue as your!!
I also got a phone from Hong Kong, so Hong Kong Samsung version, plus most of my contact are saved with inficatif, for messaging app like WhatsApp.
As you described the issue, if any local phone call me, it only display the phone number, not the name of the contact, while the name and the number being saved in Contact app.
I tried to remove the indicatif of a contact and save it as it, this time the name is shown when I get a called, but in messaging app like WhatsApp, this test contact got no more name, only the number is shown in front of its chat. Any additional solution since ??
Thx
