check whether your contacts is set to sync or not.
ive had this issue on every single ics rom ive used so far, since back when beezy made the first ics sdk rom, and nothing i have done will solve it.... using D720 sprint
I upgraded from a 2.3.6 stock + data without wipe. Now I did a factory reset and all working. Problem solved for me. Thanks guys.

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
So I' on Cyanmobile X and the inbuilt Messaging app doesnt allow sending an SMS to multiple numbers at the same time.
So I tried Hancent SMS and Go SMS.
Now the problem is that all these apps are showing the same name/number multiple times when I try to send a message.
Hancent SMS shows a name 3 times and GO SMS shows it 2 times.
I dont know why this happens ? ;/
and its really annoying
Any way to get rid of this?
My phonebook doesnt have any problem,its showing only 1 copy of the contact
SOLUTION
Solved the prob myself
I used Contacts Aggregator by Skullab Software
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skullab.ContactsAggregator&feature=search_result
The App itself is really easy to use.
As soon as you delete all the Duplicates,you'll get a warning from your Google Sync saying that too many contacts were removed and what to do now.Just click the "Delete them all" option and wait for the sync to complete.
Well thats it
[Note: Dont worry about your SIM contacts,this app wont touch SIM contacts ]:good:
First, I have checked in threads and dint find answer.
Second, HTC is rooted, using NextGen 1.5 rom.
Problem : Please check the attached pics.
In sms, when i type "paev"..i get the suggested correct name "parv" with 'mobile' and 'home'. But when i type the correct "parv", i get the same numbers with 'mobile' and 'history'. I want "home" instead of "history"
Other issue is, I have saved many numbers as 'mobile' and 'other'...but in sms contact list, many of those 'other' numbers comes under "VOICE" tag.
These are not the major issues, but please help me with solving them.
Ok, I tried to partly figure out this problem..... the "home-->"history" problem occurs only when I have a sms in my inbox of that contact. I delete the message, problem gets solved. But i cant keep on erasing my messages...
so..any one help please ?
Set the home number as default. It may solve while you use it more. You can use simple third party SMS apps like SMS composer, handcent SMS, Go SMS...
Guys, a strange Hangouts problem - When I add new contacts, if I receive a Hangouts message from them, in the Hangouts list of messages it only shows their mobile number - not their contact name. The strange thing is that in Notifications and when I go into that contacts message it actually shows their name.
So, in short - I have a contact stored with their name and number. If I receive a Hangout message from that person it DOESN'T show their name in the Hangout list of messages. BUT it does show their name once I open that message. It also shows their name in Notifications!
Strange!!!

I have this issue sometimes. Sometimes clearing the cache for Hangouts or removing the thread works.
Thanks for the suggestion. Alas that didn't work for me! Strange!
I really like the N5 but there are so many little niggles with it... annoying little niggles... that can lead a man to jump ship back to fruit, which is good for you!

Sign out and sign back in seems to be the best solution so far.
A full uninstall of hangouts then reinstall will work every time.

Thanks. I've tried signing out and back in again. That didn't work. Will try uninstalling and reinstalling it. I'm presuming I will lose my existing messages, right?!?!?
Happens to me when I add a number to my contact list, I myself have tried clearing cache and reinstalling etc, still the same.
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.
