Since upgrading my phone to the stock jelly bean firmware (rooted) I've noticed one rather annoying bug. When someone rings me, the phone no longer
displays their name & picture - just the number. Exactly as if they were not in my contacts.
But they are.
I also noticed that the sms messaging app want integrating with contacts anymore. I solved this by installing a new app (handcent), but i don't really want to have to install a new dialer.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

I'm on LJ4 and have the contacts photo showing up when called...
To clarify, the dialer itself is fine - when I'm dialing, it can find my contacts.
It's when I get a phone call. It displays the number, but didn't associate it in any way with any of my contacts.

Im in lj5 and everything works here. Probably you have duplicate contacts somewere.

yeh duplicate contacts or do a wipe and root it with a decent rom
Am rooted, but want to stay close to stock. Well check to see if there are dupe contacts. Thanks.

You have to wait 1 or 2 seconds for the name to show... this happens to me sometimes... not all the time... and not with every contact... but eventually it will show...
It's never shown yet - even after a few minutes.
It does look like a contacts issue. Even I look in the contacts app, there are no duplicates. However, when I try and update a contract from a phone number, it lists a number of extra contacts - including plenty of duplicates.
Not sure how to access these extra contacts normally though...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I think these extra contacts may have been added by syncing Google+ contacts. I actually switched it off fairly early on, but it seems to have corrupted my contacts now...
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Removing the relevant gmail account from my phone & then re-adding it appears to have fixed the problem

I am also having the same problem. The only work-around that I know of is to select 'ask every time' under the Google voice option.
I believe the roms that aren't based off of Samsung's has the Voice working properly.
It's working fine for me, but there is a big glitch. If you go to Google Voice app settings and choose to make all calls using google voice it works. When making calls from the touchwiz phone it says it's making the call using google voice. The big issue is that everytime I make a call (to the same number) it shows in the call log as if I've called a completely different random number (presumably the google server the call is actually sent from).
Lately I've noticed my SMS/MMS Notification Sound gets cut off in the middle of playing.
I'm using the "Whistle" notification sound. It worked fine the first day I had my phone (today would be day 5 I've had it)
I've tried restarting the phone, choosing different tones, fixing permissions, clearing caches. So far nothing seems to be working
It looks like it gets cut off when the screen lights up from the notification.
Anyone else having this issue? And if so, have you found a fix (besides using a 3rd party messaging app like Go SMS). I have the Sprint variant, stock rooted (LF9)

Yeah I had the same problem
But it only happened when my wife would text me
I did the same fixes as u did thinking that would work, but it didn't so I erased that contact put it back in and now it works right
Good luck
Cheers

Wowwwwww you know what? It only happens to me when my girlfriend messages me lol. Wtf? That's so weird! Maybe it has something to do the most frequently messaged person? Gunna delete the contact and test.
Thanks!

It does this If you set a limit for incoming texts and have auto delete on. Erase all the messages when your at the limit and it will go back to normal again

Oh that makes sense. I had my auto delete set @ 120 SMS. So I'm guessing what happens is once the thread hits 120 and you get a new SMS the notification gets interrupted by the system deleting the last message in that thread to make it 120.
Well this is all very helpful. Problem solved. Thanks guys!

Another work around for this is to use zedge to assign your sound. For whatever reason, it bypasses the issue and the sound fully plays when a new message comes in.

Hey all.
Okay Galaxy Note with stock ICS, I am using GO Launcher and GO phone ex.
When a call comes in, it shows a pretty picture and the number but everyone is Unknown Caller. In the call log it shows who it was correctly.
It don't know if this is a ics problem or GO issue.
Any ideas how to check this?
Thanks

I promise you it is not an ics issue. Try deleting cache for the app u are using, reboot and try again. I use default phone app but I promise it is not ics.
I believe you!
Ok thanks, will try that

Hi there, i have been using sms Backup & Restore for a while now since i have been swapping a lot of roms and i wanted to keep my smses safe with this program. It has been working flawlessly until now. I flashed rgui miui b9 and when i tried to restore my smses i got my conversations split in two. Its not like i have my Messages in two times Its Just that they are split. I am uploading an ss to let you get what im saying.

you mean to say its not in threaded view right? some jb roms are having this threaded sms view issues.

i think thats relevant with miui. i used miui on my old galaxy sl. same issue happened to me. the solution is not certain but you can try changing your contact number , add the country code the numbers and restore your smses again. let me know its worked or not.
Sorry for my English.
You mean add the full Number on the selected Contact? The Number is 12345 and i added +30 on front of it. Still no luck any more ideas?
