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.

Hi. I tried several rom including MIUI and Official after ICS Official were released.
The problem is
I usually save my close people contact number in international form
e.g. +61412345678 and +6628888888 so when I am abroad on travelling or business trip, i can text them back easily.
However, with ICS, when I call these contacts for example 028888888 from (contact saved as +6628888888), the phone won't recognize the contact name. The same problem exists when they call me.
Is there any fix on this?
No such problem in GB for me.
Known issue in Miui V4 for contacts which have a country code in the saved phone number. No idea about stock ICS.
I have an unlocked Galaxy S2 running stock Gingerbread (2.3.4), unrooted. A problem has arisen whereby I can no longer send SMS's to one of my contacts (it has never been a problem before). I've tried deleting all previous message threads with that contact, but it didn't help. I then tried deleting the contact and sending an SMS to her number. The message was sent, but when I got a reply I was unable to reply to it. The reply also picked up the other person's name from somewhere, even though I'd deleted the contact from both the phone and my Gmail account.
I've tried both Handcent and the stock messaging app, and neither is able to send an SMS to this person. Other contacts are fine.
Can anyone suggest a fix?

it could be a problem in your network.. i had experienced that before, i tried flashing different firmwares and etc but it still didn't fix the problem.. so might as well call you network provider.
or you could also try to reset to factory settings/wipe data or better yet flash a new firmware
Hi
I too haven't had this problem but a similar one where I can't access contacts on sum card. I think if you have had your phone rooted.and installed ics or another rom it formats it slightly different i think because when I installed the aroma rom I had on when I saved the contacts I could see them but when I switched roms they disappeared. Not sure this answers all your question but might explain why her name popped up after you deleted it. Try installing a simcard viewer I tried this as my next solution and was able to see prior contacts there is one somewhere with no permissions I think.
Hope I helped
The same problem has occured on my Galaxy SII: After the SMS-thread from one contact got deleted I can't send SMS to her, I get status "failed" and under message details it says "Error code 1", I receicve messages from her but can't answer them, however an MMS with a picture got sent yesterday.
Has anyone with similar problems found an answer?
I eventually flashed new firmware: Stock ICS via Kies (4.0.4). Still can't send an SMS to the contact though. Has anyone else resolved this yet?
Hi
I've got the samsung s3 4g version but I believe the normal S3 has the same issue. When I go into the call history it shows calls from everyone over the last 30 days or something which is good, but when you click on an individual number it only shows you the history for that specific day.
I used to have a S1 and on that if you clicked a number it would show you the history (calls/sms) for the entire history duration, so you could see you spoke to that person a 3 days and a week ago for e.g.
Is there anyway to get the S3 to do that... ? it seems silly if they took that feature out of the S3 ?
I was looking on google and someone said to get "mr number" I tried that, but that seemed to make it worse and not show me any history (just a list of all the ppl who i spoke to)
If anyone knows howto get the history/logging to do what I need that would be great.
thanks
surely someone else is having the same issue ?
I've got the same problem.
Before I9300 I had Touch HD where I used an Address Book app. There I could click on any number in call history and get the entire history of calls and sms from that contact or number.
But on SGS3 I can only get the history/logs of calls for the contacts that I've written to my contacts: logs(call hystory) - long tap on contact - open contact- menu soft button on the bottom left - journal.
But I've got a lot of calls that are not in my contacts and I don't want to save them and I need to see if that number allready called me.
How can I find it out?
Thanks in advance.
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.
Sent from my i1 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.

How do you change the settings? I can't even get into it...:laugh:
Hi guys!
I have huge problem that I can't deal with. I've just changed phone from SGSI 2.3.6 to SGS III 4.1.2
Phone : SGS III
Soft : Stock 4.1.2
I have synchronised my contact list with google, everything went great, i had my contacts with phones and EMAIL ADRESSES in contact list. But of course i've dealt with it by checking "Only contact with phones." Yay!
Okey. And now when im trying to SEARCH for specific contact (for example when writing sms) it shows all contacts, also SIM contacts and EMAIL contacts... What the hell ?
"Only contact with phones" worked very well @ 2.3.6 because it wasn't showing email adresses and sim card contacts during search!
Is there any way to customise search results ? I don't want to see SIM contacts and contacts without phone numbers when searching...
So - AM I RETARDED and i can't find this option, or they've changed something and now i will have to scroll thru 263464325623897583248239 email adresses every time i will have to choose sms recipient.. ?

I've checked with my friend's Xperia S, and 'display contacts with numers only' function works flawlessly in 'search'
