hello...the name of a sms sender to my siemens sx56 pda/phone does not appear, their number instead are the one appearing with the message..it would be convenient if the sender's name would appear in the message. your help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
This, I have found in the past, is caused by holding two copies of contact details, one in the phone memory and one on the sim. If you remove one of the entries the name will appear again.
Hope this helps
SMSName
On XDA I, you must be using Pocket PC 2002. This was a bug for this OS.
Simply install a fix called SMSName.
thaks fellows, i will try them and will let you know

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question regarding contacts. I sync with my outlook contacts at work, when i try and send a sms i press the contacts button. The thing is, it shows me an entry for each type of number
ie
Ali 07833454543
Ali +442078763345
Ali [email protected]
so thats three entries for one person !... as you can imagin it makes the list very long.
is there anything i can do, so that it just shows one line for each person, but when you select it, it shows the other numbers?
thanks
Ali
any ideas chaps?
a no would do :roll:
Mine does the same mate - don't know how to resolve it, SMS Name doesn't fix it that's for sure, and I've loaded SER 1.2 now... I guess it's 'cos you're using multiple service types, you have to see the different addresses (POP3/SMS)
in outlook, are your contacts displayed correctly?
What would be REALLY intelligent would be some way to have a shortcuts or "speed dial" list for SMS addressing. I only send SMS to a half-dozen people out of my 225 contacts. It would have been smart to allow you to address an SMS with the speed dial contact or some other list.
Any developers want to create some software for this? Guaranteed I'll buy it.

Bring forth your findings then.
Don't dangle the carrot like that !!!!
ppc2003
hi
in ppc 2003 you dont have to find the contact by pressing the contacts iclon you just type there name in and it gives you options on the name also it has a character counter so you know how many you have typed. it also seems to run faster and my battery seems to last longer. i havent set the internet up yet but i will this coming week.

Since WM2003 it's great not having to use the sms name fix programs to make names from Outlook appear on incoming texts.
However, it's still the case that if you click on someone's name in Contact and select Send SMS, it just puts the number in the To box, rather than the name and / or number.
If you reply to someone who has already sent you a text through the context menu whilst reading the message, it DOES put the name of the other person in.
Is anyone aware of any programs etc that will make the xda work in this way? It can't be that the name would cause a problem as it works perfectly fine when you reply to existing sms's with it in.
I'd appreciate any comments on this.
Cheers

Instead of selecting the contact and creating the SMS message, create a new message and start typing the name of the contact. A pop up box appears with contact names in and when you select the contact their name is entered in the TO line.
Just goes to show you don't get anywhere if you don't ask huh?
I should have thought Pocket Outlook would work the same as normal Outlook, but just always did contacts > name > send SMS. Now it's just New > Message and type in the name.
Cheers for that!
Anthony
PS - this forum is great

I have an similar problem
I notice it does not work when try to assign a picture and ringing tone Name (None) Company (None) if your contact has First Name and Lat Name or company name details . i.e. select category Business . Then try to assign/select a picture to the contact name you will experience the above issue:roll: :roll:
There was suppose to be an upgrade out already to correct these issues
with WM2003., so I suggest you check their web site. But if its not available for download yet try contacting them via email thats what a friend of mine did and them sent him a copy.
If all fails take a look at Pic&Ring ($10.00)

Dear,
If you decide to keep using picture2caller as is, you need not alter info in your contact list to make it work. You can manually assign contact number (even when the program does not recognize the contact and shows "None" sign). This trick will work well since the pic will pop up when the call is in via the program and the information of the caller will appear exactly as that in the standard contact program. BTW, you can only assign only one number to one contact at a time

Hi, i have this weird problem with my htc hero. I can't find any awnsers or people with the same problem, so i thought i asked it here.
This is the case:
Since the new (official) (it's not rooted) rom update i have this problem with the profile pic I set for myself (the one you see in a message thread, next to the messages you send).
When ever i get a message from somebody and i open that message with the notification bar, my profile pic doesn't show in th thread (just the standard silhouette). But if i open a message via the message app, then it DOES show my image.
I have no idea how this happenes. It doesnt have to do with any apps, because i even have it after a clean rom install.
Please help me, it drives me nuts
do you have your own nmber in your address book as me?
I did this as to send test messages to myself, instead of typing my number in i couuld just type me. However this then gave me a blank image instead of my contact card image.
Not sure if this helps?

Hi, no unfortunately it didnt help. I tried adding a contact named Me with my number to see if that helps, but again no luck...
Hello,
I have a LG Optimus One, when I receive a call or message the contact name can't show it only show the number, off course contact available at the contact list. (The contact list I sync from Gmail contact)
I don't know the problem is my phone or firmware? How can I fix it?
Pls help me.
I had similar problem - it shows wrong contact name and picture becouse it takes contacts from SIM card. Try backup contacts, remove all from SIM and copy contact directly into phone (using for ex. MyPhoneExplorer). Then restart phone.
It strange, but I didn't find another way. Also try enable/disable contact viewing optipons in menu. There is many options and after some time it started works fine on my OO, but I'm not sure what I done directly. Anyway these steps helped me.
