Hi,
I have been having this weird problem for some time now. When someone calls me, the phone does not always show the name of contact, only the number. The call log does the same also. Sometimes the same contact calls again and the name shows. I don't quite see where the problem is.
Restarting does solve it for some time but after a while this odd behaviour is back again.
Has anyone seen this before?

try 3 button combo if the prob exist u can try a custom rom orelse take it to service center as it might be a prob with the phone itself.
I would recommend to tru combo or custom rom and check if the problrm exist it seems to be a software related issue and not phone.
i hope u havent copied the numbers twice ,u may try exporting ur contact to sd card ,delete all contact,import your contact again
go to contact -menu button-import/export-copy to sd card
delete all contacts
export them back again
it will create a .vcf file in ur sd card so all your contatcs will be safe no problem deleting them just import them back after deleting

I did the hard reset when I upgraded. And regarding the import and export, thats what I have done before upgrading, but thank you though.
It seems that the contacts content are not loaded properly all the time. I tried opening the contacts and scrolling through the whole contact list, and then I switch to the call log, and all the names are back in the call log. What is confusing is that I do not use any sort of task killer such that the contact are removed from the memory.
I don't think its a hardware problem though.
Hi Dr.Alani,
Frustrated by the same issue. Any breakthrough with this one?
Sending the phone in to service center for 3 weeks+ is just not an option.
I've found out that the problem was caused by "market access" app. If you leave the emulation on, for example T-mobile, the phonwill consider only US numbers to be local. All other numbers will look different than they are on the contact list. So, just remember to restore your network code in market access or market enabler after you finish downloading from the market. I hope this solves you issue.

There would not be any such problem if you stored all your numbers in the international format in the first place (like, +1123456789)
(For quick restore - airplane mode on and off.)
Actually I do save the numbers in International Format, but the problem is that the network I am on, when someone calls I receive it without the +CountryCode ..Thats why names don't show up.

I have faced an issue now a days that when i am rooting or unrooting my O1, SIM contacts were not shown over the phonebook but phone contact shown. I think may be its due to rooting or unrooting. but why is it so?? whenever i faced this problem i had checked all the setting, refreshed the setting and also restart my phone but the same issue persists. until when i removed the sim from the phone and then reinstall it, the problem solves.. plz help why it is so..?? what can i do to solve it..?

Actually, also I can't set SIM contacts to be visible, it's only possible to move them from SIM to phone. I'm using CM7 by mik..
In official ROMs there is an option to make SIM contacts visible.
If you can't make them visible, use export/import and choose import from Sim.

SIM Contacts are never displayed in CM7 by mik
If you need to import contacts from your sim to phone mem.
then press the menu key while in contacts >>Import/Export >> import from sim
and import all
but if you need to copy a newly saved contact in phone memory to sim, use an app called contacts2sim (get it from market/Google)
Hope this helps now

When changing my SIM to another phone ......it works
I contacted VODAFONE to send the setup.....they did it but nothing
I DO NOT WANT TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE.

Service stopped or anything?
Backup all your stuff and perform a factory data reset...it will fix the issue.

Hi snest,
I have the exact same issue, since 5th-Feb-2012. It seems to be related to the stock messaging app. Don't have a clue what went wrong, but it just stopped sending messages. I have no issues receiving though...
I've checked my logs and I didn't install anything. Perhaps I did some updates, I'm not sure...
I also called Vodafone PT to check if everything was ok, and it was.
So I decided to start my own testing in order to try to narrow down the problem.
1st test: different SIM. No go, same problem, which means the problem is on the phone.
2nd test: restore the latest ROM backup (CWM). It worked. I was able to send/receive SMS flawlessly. The only problem was the backup date... it was 2 months old. My bad.
--> At this point I realized that the problem was on the messaging app. Something messed with it.
3rd test: Install a messaging app from the market and re-test. So I flashed the current ROM back (I backed up just before test #2), and when it came up I re-tested. No go. Then I installed the Handcend Messaging app from the Market, tested, et Voilá. It works.
I tested the stock messaging app once again and nothing, but from Handcent works like a charm.
So it's proven: the problem is on the stock messaging app.
A hard reset will solve the issue for sure, but before going there I'd like to try to reinstall the stock messaging app, if possible...
If your S2 is not rooted yet, a hard reset is the (only) way to go. I don't see any other way to solve this...
Cheers
Hi, I had a similar problems a little while after I installed handcent. SMS stopped sending. I had done some messing around removing bloatware with titanium prior to that, so assumed it was something I had done. I went back and defrosted all the apps I had frozen, but SMS still not working :-( I then thought to reinstall handcent, after which the problem disappeared , so in my case it was the other messaging app causing the problem!
My advice would be to try a different SMS app and see if that fixes the problem. Might be enough to get things going again.

This was the reason why I installed Handcent - to try and "wake up" the stock messaging app. Handcent works flawlessly, but it didn't solve the original issue.
I never had any other messaging software installed before, and my bloatware was removed a long time ago (October 2011) right after flashing a new Android version (2.3.5). So this was not the root cause for the messaging app to stop sending sms...
Go SMS Solved the problem?
Hi All,
Thank your for your replies.
I installed the Go SMS and merely resolved the problem of sending SMS.
But still I can not sent via stock messaging apk .

Try clearing data from your Messaging app from menu > applications > manage applications.
Unfortunately cleaning data did not solve the problem.
Factory reset. Or do a clean flash of GB stock rom.
Same difference, pick your poison. You may not like it but that's the only thing that's going to fix the problem (unless it is a network/apn/sim problem).
Most probably the Message centre Number has got corrupted...
Do this..
Open messaging ... Menu... settings..scroll down to Message Centre..
Note down the number ...
Either contact the network service provider...or first check the network provider support forums...to see if the number is correct...
once this message centre number has been corrected..you should be able to send messages...
I dont use Go SMS... but if you see the number there...you can copy it to stock messaging app..
I forgot to update this thread... Sorry.
I managed to isolate the issue, and found that the problem was on the messaging app itself (mms.apk) that somehow got corrupted. I tried to reinstall from an old APK backup, but it got worse, it stopped working completely.
After several hours and many tests, I ended up restoring a 2 month old CWM image (equivalent to a Factory Reset). Then I fully restored a 2 days old backup (Titanium Backup) leaving out mms.apk. Problem solved.
In your case, my advice is:
1. Install Titanium Backup from the market and perform a Full Backup (to SD card, otherwise you'll just loose it);
2. Factory Reset;
3. Setup the basics, access the market, and install Titanium Backup;
4. Full Restore (all files) EXCEPT mms.apk.
This is the only way to have the messaging app to work again with minimum (acceptable) data loss. Good luck.
Excellent advice Mnico
Pls Help!!
Hello Guys!! I need some help here on how to be able to send sms. I tried using Handcent and Go SMS but to no avail. However, what confuses me is that I can send sms using a different carrier sim(Like Globe and Sun. Am wondering if im missing out on anything to make it work. I have s2 from korea/olleh on ver 4.0.3.. TIA

Hi macnaque.
Your problem is slightly different from the one that is being discussed on this thread... and a lot easier to solve as well.
It seems that your problem is due to a simple misconfiguration of the Message Centre number for your main carrier. Try the following:
- Boot the phone using your main carrier SIM. Then open the original Messaging app, and open "Settings". Scroll down to "Text Message (SMS) settings" and compare the number you have set under "Message Centre" to the one provided by your carrier. (you may need to check their website or call the customer support service to get it)
I had this same issue just 5 or 6 days after buying my S2. Somehow the last digit of the Message Centre number just... disappeared. Never happened again though.
Same issue fixed
I had the same issue on ShoStock rom on my SGH-I777, Put my sim in another phone and was able to receive messages just fine, BUt when I had my Sim out, I did a simple reboot on my phone and then put the Sim back in and rebooted the phone again and everything works just fine. I am pretty sure it had something to do with the efs folder and the IMEI number because when the sms wouldn't work, I could not open the efs folder but after the reboot and the sms working I can open the folder and view the contents,
I had the same problem. I tried everything and only installing rom by odin works for me.
Hi all
I've encountered a problem on my S2 regarding contacts. When I do a search by entering any letter those persons who have these letter will show on my screen. The functionality in that regard is working fine however it will also show up those persons that I've marked as hidden.
For instance I unmarked for show any contacts from my sim card. However when I do a search it will show any persons with that letter including those from my sim card?
Anyone know this problem and how to fix it?
I believe this either happened when I updated the firmware to the latest. ics 4.0.3 and dunno if its a known problem?
Or it could be related to me rooting my s2.
However I did a stock firmware install but the problem still persists.
I've tried on mine and I get duplicates too. I think the hidden ones only stay hidden in your Contacts menu and not your search function. Either this is a default thing or it can be edited using a script. Either way, I don't have a problem with it, but I can see why it is annoying you. Sorry I can't help much, I'm a bit of a noobie myself.

Thank you for replying because I certainly needed a confirmation that it wasnt me that messed up my phone.
Alternative solution would be to simply delete all contacts in my sim card and it would ease my annoyance but still I would say this is not very optimal.
But you did help me by replrying .. thank you.
EDIT:
A friend of mine who also has a s2 but who is still on gingerbread do not have this problem. So I suspect either my phone to be the culprit which seems not to be the case, it would have to be an issue on ICS in general?

I am having the exact same problem and would like a fix without reindralling rom. I have tried clearing dsta for all relating to dialer, phone and contacts, but no help. As soon as i hit phone, dialer crashes and after 10 seconds it says that contacts has stopped working.
Also when first installed the android keyboard crashed all the time and had to switch to smart keyboard.
I m having the same problem too. I thk when the call log has reached a certain amount of storage. The dialer will start crashing. I've experienced twice. The first time I juz try to ti- backup and flash the rom again. But juz now I face the same problem again, don't wanna flash the rom everything to fix it. Any solution to it?? Thx. I've tried to wipe all cache and even clear data of the application contacts, however is useless...
Hope there will be some fix for it as I really prefer 1.1 instead of 1.2 onwards...
Thx for answering!!!
Have you tried upgrading to v1.4? when i installed, triple wipe i did the main rom, then gapps, rebooted recovery, installed siyahkernel and it all works for me

It's known problem with RR 1.1 & T9 dialer - if you used the search tool you would know (I had the same exact problem)... Anyway, the problem occurs when you reject a call, once it's F-ed there's no going back (tried reinstalling the apk, TB-it - NOTHING). If you dont want to reflash you can use exDialer from the market, that's what I did then OR upgrade to 1.4, you wont regret - hope this helped (Excuse my bad english)

I've tried 1.3 before but there are several things that i don't like, such as the toggles style of notification bar, the fm radio is removed, camera can't save pics in sd card, can't chg the font style, etc. Thaz why i prefer to stay at 1.1 ...

Glad I helped . Anyway you can use the other "afterbootxxxxxxx.zip" file without T9, that way you can be rude and rejecting calls without FC's afterwards but you'll lose T9 func.
Oh juz saw someone posted in gs2root.com, say when having the contacts fc, can solved by clearing data of "contacts storage", only drawback is lost all the call logs ... but I m not sure is it refering same issue ... wanna know does it work?? (I haven't tried it yet)
Ok, so, I was having the same problem. I tried opening the dialer app information (holding the app icon) and then i cleared the data, it's working perfectly, no drawbacks that I could notice

A few things to try (I'm sure you've done them already but just in case)...
1. Scale the image to different sizes before saving.
2. Make sure your wifi or data is on, as the app sometimes needs to consult with whatsapp servers for operations like that.
3. Make a backup of the app. Then go to Settings > Apps > select Whatsapp and then 'Clear Data'. See if that's fixed it.
4. If not, as a last result, after backing up your app data, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the app.
5. Make sure it's the most up to date version from the play store.
6. If you have a custom recovery, you could try to fix permissions from TWRP or CWM.
7. Shout loudly at it and make threatening gestures. :silly:
I'll install it and see if I can reproduce the problem.
EDIT: Installed it and was able to upload profile photo without problem. Sorry.
Really appreciate the advice, I really do. None of it has worked though!
Bloody annoying....
