Hello, I have buyed a V30+ and I would like to assigne a group, or a specific contact to a sim. Is there a way?
The phone says yes, but I found not.
Thank you.
Edit : found, but you have to modify all your existing contact...

Hello,
I have a LG Optimus One, when I receive a call or message the contact name can't show it only show the number, off course contact available at the contact list. (The contact list I sync from Gmail contact)
I don't know the problem is my phone or firmware? How can I fix it?
Pls help me.
I had similar problem - it shows wrong contact name and picture becouse it takes contacts from SIM card. Try backup contacts, remove all from SIM and copy contact directly into phone (using for ex. MyPhoneExplorer). Then restart phone.
It strange, but I didn't find another way. Also try enable/disable contact viewing optipons in menu. There is many options and after some time it started works fine on my OO, but I'm not sure what I done directly. Anyway these steps helped me.
So, I recently bought an unlocked SGS2 (I'm a US AT&T user) and it seems that ALL the numbers in my contacts list are stored as (xxx) xxx-xxxx which apparently is invalid because I get sending failed errors every time I try to text one of those numbers. If I edit the contact and reenter the phone number, it is stored as xxx-xxx-xxxx, which works. I have somewhere north of 200 contacts with at least 1 number each so I REALLY don't want to have to reenter all phone the numbers...any solution to this?
EDIT: For anyone who runs into this problem, I found a lifesaver of a solution in the form of a $1.99 app called: Google Contacts Formatter...it has a lot of different formatting options, so it could also be useful for people who move from the US to an area where formatting is different. Link here.
Huh, that pattern supposed to be exist in US! Anyway, no need for an app, just change your phone language to English UK, done.
Regards.
I am using Dual Sim China clone phone of HTC Incredible S (Model No. S710F). The OS is android 2.3.9. The problem is described below:
All my contacts are stored in international format. ie. with country code (eg. +1 xxxxxxxxx). when I receive any call locally, it display only the number of the caller. His number already available in the contacts with country code, but he is calling locally (from same country). But if I receive any call from abroad, it displays the contact name correctly.
I am residing in QATAR. Is it related to the service provider? Is there any fix available to solve this issue?
It would be very much appreciated if someone help me.
Thanks in advance.
Can you provide screenshot?
Understood your problem. Just wanted to see more clearly
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
I am having the same issue, but reversed.
I have contacts saved in my phone without the country code (+61 here in Australia)
Incoming calls and texts on the latest ROM I'm using MIUI V4 ICS (SGS2) don't display the contact, just the number including the country code.
In my last ROM which was MIUI also but 2.3.7 all contacts where recognised fine but regardless of country code or not but now it wont.
Is there a known fix for this, short of updating all my contacts manually.
Or is there a way to batch change all my contacts?

Part of your problem is that there was no android version 2.3.9. That is a custom knock off version that tends to come on those types of phone.
As for these issues best bet would be to ask on MIUI site as no development for MIUI is done on XDA.
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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone!!
I am after some DESPERATE help if possible as I am locked out of my WhatsApp account and WhatsApp's customer support isn't providing the help I need in order to sort my issue out.
So basically I setup a WhatsApp account many years ago using a virtual number. At the time of registration I could receive calls to the number from WhatsApp to obtain the verification but upon updating my phone recently I cannot receive calls to the virtual number and is NOW classed as invalid by WhatsApp.
I should have been notified by WhatsApp to inform me that this number will no longer be supported and to tell me to change the number to one that has a supporting physical SIM card.
My various emails to WhatsApp support has expressed my desperation to get the account back up and running even if that means that I am given a code just to reactivate the account and change the number to a compatible number / physical SIM card mobile number then I am happy to do that.
Failing that, I also said that I am to obtain a new number with a physical sim, but I would need it linked to the virtual number account so that I can retain my chat history etc.
Finally, the handset I want to use the WhatsApp account is now rooted if that helps and I have the full backup of the account locally and on Google drive..
If anyone has a solution for this, I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL!!
I await your reply and thanks in advance..
