Apologies; the symptom is the same. If you don't have any SIM contacts, then your problem is different. Sorry.
Thank you very much .I missed the link. was searching in your old posts :-D
But there is no problem with the picture The name of the contact is displayed in place of Name!

You mean number?

Same here, I get the +61######### instead of the contact name.
I've got my contacts set to display google contacts only.
Any fixes?

Something very weird is happening on my contact list.
No, I do not have ANY number on my SIM.
No, I do not have any number in my T-Mobile contact list.
I have a friend of mine whose name is DG.
So I wanna send a new text, I open the Message application, tap on the bar to select the contact, write the initials of the name, DG, and usually you should get a list of people who are named so... what happens here is that when I type this specific contact, I see it TWICE.
DG 1702... Mobile
DG +1702... Mobile
Why?
Checked GMail, there is only one entry.
Checked my Contact list, only one entry.
Went to GMail, DELETED the contact, synced the contacts, and it does not show in my Contacts list BUT! This is just weird now... when I try to send a new message, type the name... it shows up DG +1702... Mobile
What the hell?
I thought it could be Skype, or WhatsApp, but I checked the same thing with other contacts who also have Skype and WhatsApp and this does not occur... Anyone?
Thanks
PS: I have checked the other two threads but none give a solution.
One of them may be showing up because of call history and sent history.
This one you CAN turn off in:
messages>settings>general> show sent message history and show call history
One of them showing up may be Tmobile Contact Back Up.
This one you CAN'T turn off.
Option? Root and remove.
Once TCBU sync's it won't let you remove it.
P.S. I replied to your PM already, as well.
Hope this helps bro.

Yeah I saw the reply and replied. Thanks.
The thing is, I don't have any contacts on TMo back up...
And why does it do it to only one contact so far?
Just deleted all my contacts from GMail, and also from my phone, deleted WhatsApp and skype... And when I go type a new text, the number DG is still there...
Guess what... I removed the microSD card... problem solved... No more duplicate!
I wonder why now...
Suppose i have multiple phone no.s in a contact with all of them having whatsapp. And if i send talk to that contact on whatsapp will the messages go to all numbers?
I had someone else's no. under my friends name in my contacts, that no. also has whatsapp, so when i was talking to my friend was the message going to that no. as well?
No. Although the multiple numbers may appear together in your phone's contacts, each number appears separately in whatsapp. Suppose if a contact has 2 numbers, his name would be listed twice in whatsapp contact list, each for a different number. Usually this is in the same order as it appears in your phone's contacts. If you send a message to one number, it goes to only that number and not to all numbers under the same name

Owh. Ok. I understand what you mean. It does open up the entire list of numbers for that contact but the messages are sent to only the first number listed there. Suppose, your friend Jack has two numbers +1 and +2, both with whatsapp. If you click on one number and it shows:
Jack
Mobile +1
Mobile +2
the message will be sent only to the +1 number. On the other hand if you click the other number, it will then show:
Jack
Mobile +2
Mobile +1
the message will be sent only to the +2 number.
They aren't sent to all the numbers. I'm sure of that

When it opens the contact details within whatsapp, a phone icon and whatsapp icon [latter depends on that number having whatsapp] are next to the numbers. If you tap the number or the phone icon, it will take you to the dialer screen or keypad of your phone, like you're calling him/her. If you click the whatsapp icon, it will take you to the chat within whatsapp.
Does that clear your doubt? If it doesn't, post a screenshot of the problem.

I have a contact number that can not be in list of select contact, even I changed phone number with a + sign, followed by the country code or not.
The other phone numbers is normal that shown in whatsapp select contact (automatically) except that number.
My number and that number are already installed whatsapp.
What can I do?
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.

Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking time to look at this thread. This may be a very noob question but I cannot figure out a way to get it right. Problem is,
Contact names get changed when linked with another and so my contacts look ridiculous. as a example,
When I have a contact named "Roy(company)" and same person has the skype name "roy1985", when I linked both its just "roy1985" is appear on my contacts. is there any way to link them and have the name I assigned ("Roy(company)") to be in my contacts app?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
