Can any one help me with this, in the messaging apparently when I get a text the name those not display just the person number, but if I have a pic for that contact it show the pic and they number, my question is why the name are not showing it never did that before. All my contact are in Google and I my phone is updated.

Curious about this as well a solution for displaying contact names would be great. Top.

I seriously hate the new contact list.
I am having an issue with it not sending my calls for certain contacts directly to voicemail (an option in the contacts settings). This ALWAYS worked perfectly in 1.6.
I think it has to do with the new stupid contact list having like 100 million different classifications.
When i restored my contacts they all became SyncML contacts. Maybe the phone has a bug that only allows that setting to work if its in your "phones contact" list.
When I create a new contact manually, this becomes a "phone contact" and not a SyncML contact. So now I have some contacts with a SycnML classification and some with a "phone contact" one. How do I make them all the same? Will the contacts all restore if I have to reset the phone?
Another issue is that all of my old phone contacts had no dashes in between the numbers, and when I create a new one there are dashes. It looks messy and unprofessional.
Edit, I figured this one out. Not adding a + before the number does this.
Who made this bull**** software? I am a pretty smart guy (I assume) and this contact list makes NO SENSE.
Help? LOL

I don't think anyone wants to help because of how much you complain.

Whoa..."chillax".
So I have a GV account and rarely use it. Today I decide to check the app out and install it. On the setup screen I don't recall the exact option I selected but I thought I selected the option to use my primary number instead of GV.
Now, when I'm sending messages people are receiving them with my GV number and they are not showing up in the native messaging app. However when I log in to GV they shoe up there.
How do I fix so if I send a msg from my EVO that number will show and not my GV... errrr sorry but I haven't been keeping up with the sprint/gv integration

Have you considered just merging both numbers and making your Sprint number become your GV number? This would solve that problem unless you were wanting to keep them separate, in which case, follow the advice above.
I have a person whom i need to send a text message to. I have removed him from my contacts (to troubleshoot this crazy problem). When I text him, by going to my phone icon on main page, then type in the phone number, then click the third icon (yellow icon with envelope), it then automatically adds a +1 at the start, puts dashes in the number, AND adds "[email protected]" (the dns address of our network (I added the quotes). Then when I type the message and hit send, it shows as "sending" but never ACTUALLY sends it.
I have searched for this number in my contacts list, also using "Power Search" that I purchased, and I can't find his cell number at all (i have REMOVED him!).
If I do the above, but before sending, go back up into the number field, and edit the number back to straight cell#, a pop up appears "Converting to text message..." and then after finally putting the cell# back in, this time it doesn't auto-re-format the number, and it goes as a text.
NORMALLY, to text/sms, I would just go to my contacts' entry, then click the "envelope", and presto... send. But, for THIS contact, the same thing happens as above (thus the reason I deleted his contact info to troubleshoot).
Thanks for any help!

Do you store your contacts on the google servers?

yes, all my contacts are google (sorry, forgot to mention that).... i don't have any local contacts in the phone itself (at least i don't think so), and i also have contacts in facebook (but this guy isn't on my facebook at all)...
You can use a secondary messaging app like handcent or go sms pro, and see if this happens again. Just a wierd problem!

When I open my list of recent text messages I just notice that there is a small x in the upper corner of a few of my contact conversations. Can anyone tell me what this means. I have deleted the conversation then when I send them another text the x is there again.
Thanks
google talk/google +
I was worried about the x in the message app as well. Then I realized it was displaying google talk availability. Hopefully that helps.
Actually it is for Tango app.

I wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem or if a solution has been mentioned somewhere.
Basically when I receive a call, the contact name and information doesn't show up. Instead, it just displays the number. In the call logs, the names also don't show and I can only see numbers. I installed exdialer and everything shows as should be with names in the program, but the problem is when calls come in the display defaults to samsung's dialer so I still can't see who is calling.
I'm on a deodexed LF6 stock rom. Any help and / or suggestions greatly appreciated!

Which Contacts are displayed in the Contact list? Which contacts do are you choosing to display?? Do you have contacts on your SIM card??
I've chosen to display all contacts from all accounts. No contacts on sim but I've also checked to display that as well.

Double check you haven't doubled up on your contacts. I recently updated my uncles S2 to ICS, and he had this issue with only numbers being displayed. when i took a look further into it via the contacts menu, i found multiple entries for the one person. For some reason that was enough to confuse the phone and only display number only for calls and texts. Did you do a contact back up when switching to the custom rom, or anything contact related when switching? Even any kind of back up you made, when restoring, could have done this. But most times ive seen this issue, its due to have one too many of the same contact!
Have you tried choosing just one at a time??
thanks for both of your suggestions. It neither tips worked, so I deleted my google accounts and then reloaded and it worked.

That's why I never link any accounts with my Contacts. I only use contacts from the Phone itself.
