When I receive a text from someone and I check the notification that is on my productivity lock screen, it shows their phone number instead of name. Is there a way to have it display the name of the person calling?
I think it's a bug. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've had this happen to me.
Agreed about it being a bug. On 3d it does Dave thing with ics ROM.

Do you have the numbers saved in your contacts? Mine shows the names when someone texts me.
I found that when the numbers are saved in the format (xxx) xxx-xxxx, it will display the numbers when you receive a text as opposed to the name. Try changing it to just xxxxxxxxxx and see if that helps. Worked for me

Search the forum.
There are different threads about this issue.
There is a small program you have to add to your xda, then it works.
sms_cab is the file if I remeber right...

I had this problem until I copied all of the contents of the SIM to Contacts using the SIM Manager. The problem then went away.
i upgraded to the latest radio stack, then changed all my mobile numbers so that they started with +44 instead of 0 and it works fine
it tells you to do this in the upgrade docs???
don't change your landline numbers to start with +44 though as they will mess up when calls come in
somthing as easy as that eh
cheers
When calls get to me through the switchboard it displays 2 zeros in front of calling number. This means that no phone numbers in my contacts are with two zeros and my contacts does not get displayd. Android system does not filter these zeros, all my other phones have (p1,x1). Anybody have a solution for this?

Whenever I send a text and I get a response, the response is showing above my original text. This happens if the text was sent in the same minute. Anyone else having this problem?
Picture in link below:

I typed the blue first, then the reply came in white but it shows it coming before my initial text.
i had that problem before idk it just corrected itself but if its a big problem i would just use gosms its pretty good
It happens. I wouldn't be to concerned about since the times are so close together. I'm guessing time discrepancy with text servers. Maybe...
But to make you feel better, I've experienced it but usually within a minute if it's a quick reply.
are you messaging someone who has a iphone? This happens to me all the time with my friends and their iphone 4's
Yes I am messaging someone with an iPhone but it happens with non-iPhones too. I am worried about it because it is not supposed to be that way and when you pay a decent amount of money on a phone you expect that simple thing to work.
I'm curious if it has to do with the time. I found that for some reason my clock wasn't auto updating with the network. I have switched it over and will be testing here shortly.
It has everything to do with the phones local time - it uses your phone to stamp outgoing messages, and the network stamps the time on incoming messages. If your phone is running fast, then incoming messages would appear to arrive before the original message (to the phone anyway).
Enabling auto update of time / date should fix it, I was going to suggest that until I saw you were already planning on trying it
Had this happen once check your time and region settings. Mine was off by an hour

I've had this happen on my Captivate and my SII as well. Seems to be a network problem perhaps. If you're rooted, I highly recommend ClockSync. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.org.amip.ClockSync&hl=en

Anybody else having weird problems when dialing through Google voice, it shows as dialing some weird number instead of actual recepient number, it connects fine though but both while dialing and in call log it shows as some random number.
Mine does the same thing. When I call it shows some weird number in the voice notification. But connects to the number i called.
Only difference is mine shows shows the right number while in the call and in the call log.

Google Voice has always done this for me on my Droid X. On the DX it would be a white popup over the dialer saying it was connecting to some odd number. Sometimes it would be the same number in succession but it seems to change every now and again. It was never in the same area code as my VZW number.
Honestly, I don't know if I've made an out going call on my S3 yet! My GV number rings through to my office phone, the S3, and Google Talk/sipdroid (for IP phone goodness on the retired DX).
I have noticed that I've been able to txt someone from GV and the conversation picks up in the stock messaging app. I'm on VZW and this was NOT the case with the DX. It wouldn't pick up a reply to GV txt in stock messaging. I don't know about initiating the msg from the stock app though. I'll have to test that.

You know I'm not sure what my old Inc does. I'll have to see if it has that weird number as well.
And as for receiving them in the stock messaging app as opposed to the voice app there is a setting in the voice app under "sync and notification" to change between the two. I've never used it through the stock messaging app so have no idea about it.

I read somewhere that it has something to do with (at least in ATTs case) that they don't include the gvoice api. Might be the same for Verizon.
Hopefully some talented dev. will be able to make a simple CWM fix for this annoying problem.
For some unknown reason, the caller ID has stopped working on my DNA. The display still shows the number of the caller, but I no longer get the name and picture of the person calling. I have my wife saved as a contact and when she calls I just get the number, and after the call it asks me if I want to save the number to a contact, but the number is already saved in her contact information!! I can't think of anything I might have done or installed that would cause this. Any ideas? Thanks!
Try wiping the cache and data in your dialer.apk and I would do the same thing in your contacts app but make sure you back your contacts up so they can be restored easily. Then do a reboot and report back.

Looks like it was caused by the Jawbone software I installed for my Jawbone ERA. Thanks for the help!
