[Q] (HELP) Phone Number to Name (Dialer and Messaging)

Hi All,
I'm from Mauritius, and our number format for phones is 7 digits; XXX-XXXX or XXXXXXX with country code (+230)
Now under Android, tested on HTC HD2 running NAND Rom Android 2.2 and on HTC Wildfire running Android 2.1; I have a problem whereby phone numbers do no translate into names correctly;
Let's say I store Name-A as 1234567; when Name-A calls me on my Android; I see the name and number on Caller ID; but if Name-A sends me a text message; I will see only +2301234567 and not the name displayed.
If I store Name-B as +2301231212, when Name-B calls me, I will see the number on Caller ID and not the name, but if Name-B sends me a text message, Name-B is displayed.
Is there any means to correct this issue? I've mailed HTC Support but they haven't been much of a help, told me to reboot the devices or reset them ( -.- );
I had the same issue when using Windows Mobile 6.5, but there was a fix to edit the phone number/naming identification to 7 digits, is there any app in Android that can do the same?
Thanks for any answers.

In the android system... I don't know a fix. However, a work around would be to set the contacts with 2 phone numbers. Example: person A phone # +2301234567 & 2301234567. That should be a good work around until someone more knowledgeable can help.

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

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!

[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.

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.​
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a patch or variable to change in system file to fix this?
Can anyone tell me how to decompile, edit and recompile system file like telephony or others that will solve matter?

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.
I found this thread and would like to know it can be used on TAG-AL00. By @C3C076.

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
