[Q] SMS Contact Fail - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
First sorry to open a new topic..
Second because a question is too weird...
Well, Im from Brazil, so, my X10 is:
X10a
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Band Base: 2.0.46
Kernel: 2.6.29
Build Number: 2.0.A.0.504
So I decided to upgrade to another room, Froyo 2.2 follow steps from xda. I did and everything fine. After waiting sync contacts from my google accounts (that is pretty beautiful stuff ), something is wrong. All my contacts have phone number like that: Operatorprefix(Tim)+(citycode)+phonenumber.
My Operator is TIM, so 041
My city code is 61
Example my number: 12345678
Than my own contact is that at mobile fielder: 0416112345678
If i used the default room, if somebody on my contact phonebook sent me a sms, i received as well, and shows me Name and phone number, pretty beautiful like has to be. If i changed room to Froyo or [Cyanogen6.1.3] the same contact sent me a sms it shows: 061phonenumber instead 04161phonenumber. In another words, it isnt recognize my contact. It isnt identify the full number or contact. But the contact is there. It isnt a contact problem, it happens with all contacts. If any contact call me, it recoginze as a contact...
Why does this happen?
Thanks in advanced, and sorry about my English.

Nobody knows what is happening?

If any contact call me, it recoginze as a contact...

I need 10 posts to be able to post at Dev forum...

Just a little flood..

Caller ID on SMS Texting

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

[Q] contacts with country code not displaying name

I am using Dual Sim China clone phone of HTC Incredible S (Model No. S710F). The OS is android 2.3.9. The problem is described below:
All my contacts are stored in international format. ie. with country code (eg. +1 xxxxxxxxx). when I receive any call locally, it display only the number of the caller. His number already available in the contacts with country code, but he is calling locally (from same country). But if I receive any call from abroad, it displays the contact name correctly.
I am residing in QATAR. Is it related to the service provider? Is there any fix available to solve this issue?
It would be very much appreciated if someone help me.
Thanks in advance.
Can you provide screenshot?
Understood your problem. Just wanted to see more clearly
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
I am having the same issue, but reversed.
I have contacts saved in my phone without the country code (+61 here in Australia)
Incoming calls and texts on the latest ROM I'm using MIUI V4 ICS (SGS2) don't display the contact, just the number including the country code.
In my last ROM which was MIUI also but 2.3.7 all contacts where recognised fine but regardless of country code or not but now it wont.
Is there a known fix for this, short of updating all my contacts manually.
Or is there a way to batch change all my contacts?

Part of your problem is that there was no android version 2.3.9. That is a custom knock off version that tends to come on those types of phone.
As for these issues best bet would be to ask on MIUI site as no development for MIUI is done on XDA.

SMS contact issue

Hi all,
a few day ago,I update my phone via Kies to ICS 4.0.3 (T-Mobile Germany) and after that,every time I get a new SMS from someone on my contact list, it only shows the number of the person and not the name on the SMS list. The problem is that the all contacts are saved as xxxxxxxxx , and when I go in my contact list,number are saved just like that but shows in xxx xxxxxx,with space between and after three number,number of area codes. One of the solutions is to change contact, first edit number and put space after first three,and save, but it is a hard work.
Does anyone else been experiencing this and is there any way to fix it? Can't really see why the update caused this, just seems weird, and hope there is a way around it or just wait for a new update? I also hope that someone will find a solution to format and fix contacts!

Facing the same problem on Galaxy note, Stock 4.0.3
I'm facing the exact same issue on the stock ICS on Galaxy note , build IML74K.DDLP8 .
Contact names do not show up in the call log/message log.
I have Whatsapp installed and have ~250 contacts synced with Google contacts.

Phone number matching in Android

I've been trying to organize the phone numbers in my address book so that:
The phone calls I receive show the contact name (and not only the number).
The SMS messages I receive show the contact name (and not only the number).
Android is able to join the WhatsApp contact with the main contact based on the phone number.
I live in Brazil and the phone numbers have a few particularities: you can include the country code or not (55), you can include the city code or not (which is usually prepended with a 0), you can include the phone carrier code or not, etc. So matching those numbers is not a trivial problem.
I have the impression that Android has an internal logic for dealing with this issue. But it's not working particularly well for me. Does anyone know if this logic is configurable?
The issues I'm having right now are:
The numbers shown in the SMS messages don't have a consistent pattern: I've seen "+55CCNNNNNNNNN", "NNNNNNNNN", "0CCNNNNNNNNN". The numbers in my address book are following the pattern "0CC NNNNN-NNNN", so only a few SMSs match.
The WhatsApp numbers are using the pattern "+55CCNNNNNNNNN", so Android doesn't join them with the main contact, which uses the pattern "0CC NNNNN-NNNN".
I'm not sure this issue is specific to my ROM (Chameleon v2.01 for the Galaxy S II). I'm posting here because it looks more like an Android issue. Right now, I'm using Android 4.0.4 (ICS).
Thanks for the help!
Edit: I forgot to mention one thing: I live in São Paulo and mobile phone numbers have recently changed from 8 digits to 9 digits (the number 9 was prepended to all existing numbers). I have already updated the numbers in my address book. Could this be breaking the parsing logic for Brazilian numbers?

FIXED!
OK, the problem wasn't on my phone. I stumbled into this thread which made me think perhaps the problem was with Google's contact management system and not the phone:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23092
so I went to https://contacts.google.com then clicked the "cog" settings and changed my language and phone number settings country away from the UK, did ok, went back in and changed back to UK.
now I can enter contacts in the preferred +44 1234 567890, with the spaces, and an incoming call matched!
it doesn't seem to retrospectively match old call logs, or old SMS chats, which is disappointing.

Incoming/Outgoing callers doesn't match phonebook

Good day!
Not sure if this has been posted before or if anyone has encountered this issue with any Android device out there. I have an Android phone called Kata i1. It's powered by a dual-core MediaTek MT6577 chipset with 1gb of RAM (ICS 4.04). Now to the issue I'm experiencing with this device. Whenever I save all my contacts phone number to the international format, the incoming/outgoing calls will not match with the phonebook. I'm located in the Philippines by the way. So the phone always receive the callers number on a non-international format (e.g. 0918 123 4567). Now if I change the phone numbers to a non-international format, I have no problem with that as it matches the phonebook. However I'll be having an issue now with SMS because all the incoming sms received will have the phone numbers formatted internationally. If I SMS one of my contacts and they reply, the reply will show on another thread which is kinda annoying.
I prefer that my contacts phone number on international format. Do you guys have any idea how to resolve this issue? Do you think replacing the stock contacts and phone apk will resolve it? Hope you could help me out. Thanks!
Seems no one is having this kind of issue.

Could someone with a dual-sim MT6577 (qHD) phone give me a copy of their contacts and phone apk? Thanks!
FIXED! see my followup message.
I have this problem too with my Galaxy Note2.
an incoming call or SMS from 01234 567890 will only match contacts in the address book (google) if the contact uses the same 01234 format.
if the contact is stored the way I prefer, i.e. +44 1234 567890, then it doesn't match.
if I dial the contact or send a message to that contact using the address book, then the log matches up as you'd expect.
I am fairly sure when I first had my Note2 that it did do the matching, but it was on a firmware released for Hong Kong (where I imported my phone from), and I subsequently changed to a more suitable firmware for use in UK.
I did post about this problem elsewhere on XDA Devs but none of the ideas worked
I gave up on fixing it until recently when I upgraded my firmware to the latest Vodafone release as I hoped that would fix it, and it still didn't do the matching, so thought to look for help again.
