Caller ID issues

I used sprite backup from my TP1 contacts and installed them in my TP2, everything went fine, but now when somebody calls(who is on my contact list) it shows unknown. My outgoing calls have a 1- in front of them, is this normal? Although the numbers match, thier name is not showing up, any suggestions? Thanks!

easy way I save contacts is the PIM file in your device (file explorer)

go to file explorer and Copy the pim file on the device of the tp1, save it to your storage card, now every time you lose contacts or anything, you just copy that pim you have saved in Storage card, then rename the PIM in Device to PimTemp or something of that nature, now put that copy from the storage card in the device so now ya got a pim and a pimtemp.

soft reset, now your Device will read the PIM you copied from storage card and all the contacts from the original PIM are now there. Now just delete the PIMTEMP and your good to go..

Like I said. I have a copy of my desired contacs on my storage card, anytime I have to hard reset or anything, I just use this methoed. :headbang:

OK I just got a call, the number is an exact match in my contacts, with the area code in parenthesis, but the name still doesnt show up.:angry7:

Re: Caller ID issues

Re: Caller ID issues

I am having weird issues with my contacts as well,

Re: Caller ID issues

No problems with my caller I.D. I used PPCPimBackup to transfer my contacts over.

Re: Caller ID issues

Having the same caller ID issue. Contacts were synced over from Outlook 2002. Some names show up, and some don't. Even if I save the same number with and without the "1" in front, still the same issue. I have the same problem with text messages. Sometimes the name shows, and sometimes it doesn't. Not sure what the difference is between contacts that work and ones that don't.

Re: Caller ID issues

Too soon to tell, still testing, but turning off the automatic global calling may have resolved the issue.

Re: Caller ID issues

Not an issue on my TP2, but it just showed up a couple of days ago on the TP1.

Re: Caller ID issues

I think you made a mistake when you un-backed your contacts, Maybe try it over again???
