[Q] Names not resolved in received SMS - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently bought a I9300, DUO, and see that :
1) On incoming calls I had to copy contacts from SIM to PHONE in order to resolve numbers and see the actual name that is calling
2) On incoming SMS, names never appear.
Anyone has a hint?

Calm down treacle!
More specifically... QUESTIONS (like what you asked) go the sub forum entitled Q&A, not the general sub forum.
I would try and answer your QUESTION but you might have a go at me too.

This is a reply, or at least a hint, as requested BTW
The previous one was neither, dry, short, and not that polite
I will post this on the Q&A forum, as you explain.
If in the meantime you have any direction you can point me to, it would be greatly appreciated

don't post it in the Q&A. A mod will move this thread.

Suggestion about the help thread
It's getting kinda spammed and quite a few questions are going unanswered, instead of one help thread why don't we make 3 each with its own category organising things more and slowing the spam,
1. Questions thread
2. General chat and stuffz
3. (Think of another one)
>>> three threads would make things a lot smoother and allow people to answer and get answers to something quicker as people would be looking in right thread instead of a mega spammed one with random stuff

I agree
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
Well I too agree to what you said
But, people find it too difficult to post in one thread and they can't even find a relevant thread
Three threads(if even sticky) will not find there questions
I made all topics in one thread because it would be quite easier for noobs to post in just one thread instead of using their brain (which they don't want)
About unanswered questions,
I doubt that they are answerable
Of course some of the questions are not so
I search for every questions to answer them
But some people who answer on separate threads are not answering here
However any method that helps clearing General section are really welcomed
However discuss the idea with FM before implementation..
Good Luck.

Oops, I couldn't understand what you said so I said that

I just want to say
You aren't going in detail and want help
If it was typo, or even if not, it was to be posted in HELP THREAD

This site helps, but you also have to do some work for yourself too by even posting in right section
And then you with your witness try to answer with irrelevant quotes

I was thinking you would implement it, as you already have the first one done all you would have to do is rename it and make another 2, also I believe the what the problem is that on mobile the sticky threads are in another section and I usually forget about them completely....
And while on computer I think it's just getting a bit too spammed for anyone to bother

Being willing to help is one thing (even if it is telling me to use another thread or whatever) but snide remarks ruin the whole idea of the forum. the only reason I even posted is because the multiple threads you and many others seem to think exist don't provide the solution; just many suggestions. anyway, of all the rules in forums, the best should be that if you don't have anything helpful to add, hold your peace. and one more thing... over 13 years (over= more than)

OK. I've never received so many private messages in all my xda life. Apologies for the confusion and strife that resulted. just so everyone knows, I managed to solve my issue and, not for the first time, it turned out that a lot of the tutorials I followed online didn't work for me. Thankfully, my variations did. Otherwise, keep the peace

Thank you for your help.

[READ BEFORE POSTING!] NO QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT & THEMES AND APPS! thanks.

Hi,
You may have noticed that you now have a Q&A - Questions and Answers sub-forum. This is now the home to all your burning questions you have about your device. Please no longer post your questions in General or any of the other sub-forums, especially not Development
You may notice threads disappearing from here and that's due to a bit of a cleanup moving recent questions over there where they're now more relevant. Obviously this won't be done for old threads but if you don't see a thread here that you were contributing to then head over there.
Also if you see question threads posted in any other sub-forum then please just use the report button and we (the mod team) will move them over, even if it's your own thread, that's how you can notify us. Remember the report button isn't just for bad things, it helps us help you.
Summary:
If you tick the box under "IS THIS A QUESTION?" in your new thread make sure you're in Q&A
Have you typed [Q] at the start of your title yourself? It should be in Q&A
Does your thread end in a "?" or belong to the who, what, when, where, why, or how group it's more than likely a question so off to Q&A you go
You get the point so please post correctly
Thanks

Why did my JPay JP5S thread get deleted?

Hello.
I had started a thread a while back about "Installing Google Play Services on JPay JP5S tablet" - in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Now, all of a sudden, it appears to have been deleted without explanation. Can someone tell me why? Did the thread violate some XDA forum rule? If so, what rule?
I'd appreciate any assistance with this inquiry. I'm new to this forum, but I don't want to repeat any mistakes if I made any.

Hello new fellow ! Welcome to XDA.
First of all, have a look at the rules, it's short and you'll find why your post vanished.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
Second of all, most newbies here misplaces post, so:
Questions post belongs to Q'n'A section only.
Also, XDA is a very big forum! So always prefer reading over asking, because if you had an issue someone surely had it before. And reposting the same question make the site more and more slower.
A big mistake newbies make is asking before even searching on Google, XDA isn't the only place in the web to find answers, so please, search deeply before posting.
XDA was once accused (a little less now) of "n00b bashing" because more experimented users had harsh responses to questions they saw everytime. If you read thoroughly before posting, this won't happen.
Also, be respectful, etc...
Everytime someone helps you with a post, please hit the "thank" button. It's the way you say thank you instead of saying thank you on a post (that saturate XDA for nothing).
Finally, when you report a bug, please make a logcat and attach it to your post. That's the most common mistakes that even senior members make sometimes.
Also check out the "XDA New user Guide" (1) and a How to logcat thread (2)
1)https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699450
2)https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726238
Thanks for asking that, very few new ones takes time thinking how they can better act here on XDA, showing you will to do better proves that every person with a little bit of common sense know that internet has rules also, and that a forum doesn't organize itself alone.
Thank again
Have a good day

Thanks, but your reply still does not shed any light on why my thread was deleted.
I may be a noob to this forum, but I am not a noob to forums in general. I had already read the forum rules, and I believed then (and still believe now) that my thread had complied with the rules.
In particular, I had conducted a search prior to posting, but there were (and still are) no threads on the topic. A current search of "JPay JP5S" reveals five hits: two threads (one of which is my old thread) which are deleted, two threads which I do not yet have permission to access (but which deal with different topics anyways), and this thread here. Thus, my thread was not redundant of a previously asked and answered question.
Is the JPay JP5S a taboo or forbidden topic to discuss? If so, an indication to that effect would be nice. If not, I would still like to know why my thread was deleted. Again, I obviously don't want to repeat whatever mistake I might have made with the last one, if I made any.

That's weird indeed...
There aren't any taboos in XDA regarding this device... You could also try to PM moderators to know what's the issue with your thread, but include this time what you said in it, so you can have explanations. I can't tell you since the thread isn't in front of me. Here is the list of mods in XDA:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lK5rP103OL3StU3q9iqwX9LU_k8XABeSQIAT3EHCqgM/pub
They're all nice
Pick one in the "all other forums" section of the document and try to contact him about that.

Not to revive this dead thread, but if it's okay to discuss the JP5, then why did *every* thread about it disappear? I get that there were a bunch of people trying to sell services, but why not just delete their posts? There was a 50-some page thread that contained invaluable info that simply doesn't seem to exist anywhere now, and even Google Cache and Wayback Machine are basically useless. It sure *looks* like the JPay people "got to" XDA or something.
If anyone can at least provide a link to the needed files to "unlock" these things, that'd be awesome. Or better yet, can we start a new thread without it going poof? (Or best yet, could that old one ever be restored?)
I am also looking for the files to unlock my jp5 tablet. I also have a jp6 tablet I'd like to unlock. Any help would be great. $ is not an issue
Anyluck?
