I have just got myself a XDA unlocked and using it on T-Mobile. My question is, when i receive call from contacts in my address book it shows who is calling, but when i receive a text message from the same person, it just shows the number and not their name. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make it show their name because I don't understand why it isn't?
Thanks
Dr :? :?
I have sorted it myself thanks!
Hi ...
if you are happy with your current ROM you can got to www.yorch.net and search for "SMS patch" at applications section, or you can cook a new ROM that has this fix already.
Thanks for that, cheers
all sorted now

Hi
I have not been able to send any sms messages with my xda. I managed to receive them ok but whenever I tap on "New", the message choice doesn't come out and and I could not even compose a message. I am with vodaphone and has unlocked the phone with xda manipulator and I have checked under options that I do have the settings for sms mailbox correct.
Can anybody help please?
Thanks
Vic
Hi all,
Though nobody seemed to know the answer, I got the problem sorted out by cold booting. Somehow some important files must have been erased and now I got full functionality of the sms.
Hope this thread helped somebody.
Cheers

I couldn't reply on my xda for a while.
when the name quotes come up eg {"contact a", +4471234567890}
i had to remove all the extras to just leave the bare number.
the wonderful world of XDA random problems...
Can anyone tell me how received text messages will dispaly caller info? My xda just gives the phone number so I have to trawl through the contacts to recognise the number.
Can anyone give me a good link for cool info as in skins,clocks etc..
Thanks
Steve
This is a very well known and documented problem (try searching before posting), firstly upgrade your ROM to the latest version. Edit all of your contacts to include the country code (for me in the UK that means +44 & dropping the 0).
I can't help but think this is a dumb question, but I've searched for the answer here as well as trawled through the phone settings without luck.
When I receive a call, the caller id offers me the name of the person calling, so long as they are inthe contacts list of course :wink:
However, received SMS messages remain unresolved and I'm given a semi-useless phone number. We all know what a pain it can be trying to fit a name to a number......
SO guys, what am I missing here ?
Thanks in advance.....

From Paragon Software there is a small patch to fix this.

Thanks Stefan. I found the fix and everything is now fine.
There is a problem with sending MMS by adding numbers from contacts...
I believed I have located the cause of the problem.
When you create a new MMS, you have to add an contact person on the To: field
If you do it through the default contact manager, it will add somehting like "My Name" <043317918X>
u completed the mms and click send
sends the mms to provider... sending all the photos and stuff.. and it reaches the end of the transmittion at around 90%... then the To number is sent...
here is the problem... the To: number is not in the correct format!
so the provider stops the tranfer and u get an error.
You can see this problem by going back to the outbox and look at your
To: field.
It WILL look something like To: "My Name" <043317918X
with the last character ">" MISSING.
I tired typing in the numbers manually i.e. 043317918X and everything works fine.
William,
I do agree with you, i have found the same issue, when sending the MMS.
i think it is the problem with the atom. As we send the MMS, it goes more than 90% and then fails. when you go to the out box there is > missing which is making the MMS to fail. I tried editinig, but still fails and appear that > is missing again Eg. i select a name and it appears "name" <960xxxxxxx> but in the inbox it is "name"<960xxxxxxx_ where the > is missing
i dint exp this in the previous ROM. any one with the old ROM please check and reply...guess everyones upgraded their atom huh???!!!
btw xxxxxxx is just eg. of a 7 digit mobile number in Maldives :wink:
it works if you type in the mobile number manually.
this problem does not exist with pervious rom, i used it a few times before.

MMS Problem on New ROM
ok, thanks for advice! You might need to add the area code for your provider or your country and it will work! for exemple: +410XXXXX
I'm not sure if this is a Touch Pro specific problem or something with Windows Mobile, or maybe its just my phone (Sprint Touch Pro w/stock ROM). Either way I cannot text to short numbers. What I mean by short numbers is the 5-6 digit numbers that you can text to for contests, info, etc. An example would be texting GOOGLE (466459) or CHA CHA (242242). My local radio has text to win contests every hour where you text to a short number also. My problem is that whenever I send a text I get no reply. By texting CHA CHA they usually text back to tell you they are working on it. Also, texting my radio station gives a send back message also. I never get these anymore and I've never gotten a reply from texting these numbers when I used to before. The messages I send show up in my sent box, but they seem to not really send. I've searched online and this forum but I don't quite know what to search for. Anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
Google's txt number is 466453, not 466459. Give that a try.

Oops. That's just a typo on my part for the thread. I'm sending the text to the correct number from my phone. This is for any shortened texting number such as TV polls/contests/etc. I can't get this to work at all. Anyone else having similar problems??
help anyone?
