Duplicate contacts maybe? Check Contact list, just scroll down and see.

Contact Groups

I'm using KaosFroyo rom and the contacts with this rom don't allow me to group my contacts. Does anyone know if the Taz roms allow grouping in contacts.
It's really a necessity for me with my business.
Thanks!

I don't think that would change the contacts behavior. You may need to try a different dialer off the market. I've used Dialer One in the past, but I don't know if it has that specific feature. Check it out.
I think there is an actual app on the market called Contact Group Manager, though. This might be preferable for you because if you back up the app and it's data, then when you flash a different ROM later you can restore the app and it's data so you don't have to set up your groups again.
Thanks for the input. I don't think Dialer One has that function if I remember correctly, I'll give it another try.
I did download the contact app you recommended and its exactly what I need, but there's a problem... everytime I try to scroll through the contacts (using the scroll tab on the right), it FC's when I hit "H". Not the worst problem, but annoying. Maybe when KaosFroyo releases V39 that might help??

I doubt if a change in ROM or ROM versions would make a difference. Sounds like only a bug in Contact Group Manager. I would contact the dev about it.
Glad I was able to help.
Figured it out. If I keep the sort order set to "default" everything works fine.
I'm a happy camper. Thanks again for the help.

Maybe this is not the answer you are looking for but...
To get Big pictures on contacts don´t sync with google contacts. Use the phone contacts app and choose a BIG picture for your contacts. It works great!
That bloody worked thank you very much I wouldn't of thought to do that I just thought I might have to disable the stock app for it ..thank

I´m glad you´re happy with this solution.
It´s very very weird that Google still needs a micro-picture contacts file in the time of HD-phones alike are available at affordable prices.

And I believe that was the same reason why you had smaller images in stock app.
So now that you used bigger picture you can try with stock app.

Unable to send SMS on stock ICS roms

Okay as the title says, I'm unable to send ANY SMS messages from my phone to another when on AOKP, AOSP or CM9
It works flawlessly on the ICS Samsung roms though..
Can anybody please help..?
I've tried switching numerous roms..resurrection, hydrogen, F1 Galaxy Nexus, the SMS just doesn't seem to work..
Oddly, receiving works just fine though the sending is having trouble..

I tried changing the SMSC using the dialer code, however that doesn't seem to work when I click update it says update error and the cellular connection restarts itself..

Also, the SMSC displays 00
Something tells me that's what's wrong..
Of course it doesn't change the fact that I'm unable to modify it

Ask your network for the required information reference the number .
As you are asking about non Samsung roms its worth checking the relevant development threads .

What provider are you with?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
It's a different provider. I live in the middle east. The providers here aren't exactly popular
I think i'll re-flash my region firmware through odin and then install one of the AOKP roms through cwm and see if the center number persists

I had this same problem! Thought it was the ROM but its just my message service centre was empty.
Method 1:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Select Phone Info
Scroll down and where it says SMSC, put in your Message Centre number including post code +
Then click update.

Method 1 gave me an update error
Method 2 since I'm on a Samsung ROM right now, I can change the center number from the messaging app itself. So I did and went to the dialer, entered the code and saw that the smsc changed
I then tried to again manually change it (though everything was working just fine but it was giving me some odd 07.. Kind of numbers)
The manually changing didn't quite work then I copied the same number that was displayed before when I changed the center number through messaging app and pasted it in the smsc to see if now it updates and it works!
I think all I have to do now is go to an aosp ROM of my choosing and input the same number in the smsc

The 07 number was working but the other number with the area code wasn't... Now going to AOKP

Solved! Turns out if you save your center number in the Samsung messaging app it somehow sticks on and now it's still there in my Hydrog3n rom

one phone number cant call me

dear SIII fans,
well am a new user after being 7 years with Sony, and am soo happy with my SIII. but i have a weird weird problem need tiny help from you.
i can receive calls and make calls properly but my friends number cant call me, always gives him that my line is busy and i dont get a notification if he called or not.
can anyone help me. what can i do??
thanks allllll
Do you use Google voice at all? Could you have possibly blocked him on accident? A screen on and didn't realize and just happened to touch that specific key sequence? Stranger things have happened.
*Shaolin Shadowboxing*
no i dont use google voice, and if i blocked him, what shall i do?
Call carrier or go to online site and check. Could be his phone too. Do you use youmail?

Tap on his name in the contact list to oben the profile, then press the Menu-button.

Contacts & dialer no longer integrated in jb

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
