Contact names not showing up when receiving calls just numbers

Sometimes when I receive call from people that are stored in my contacts there names don't show up just there number. This has been going on for 3 to 4 months now so, its not related to jelly bean which i'm not running. I do store all my contacts with the area code if this matters. Has anyone else experienced this problem? :o

In my experience the number sent thru caller id needs to match exactly the number in contacts for the name to display however I have not had this problem with my EVO LTE. For example on some phones the inclusion of a 1 in the caller id made it not show the name. I have been told by customer service before (verizon) that the number calling is transmitted in the format sent by the originating caller and they had no control over it (I have no clue if this is true or not).

I have had the lte evo since it came out and never incountered this problem up until a few months ago. 75% of the time show the name along with the number and if it dosen't, after the call is missed or in the call log it will give the contact name. So i'm thinking they are stored correctly. I don't use a cloud.

Are your contacts loading slow for anything else? I had that problem for a little while when on ICS. Things like making calls, opening the people widget and I think the problem you describe. Hard reset fixed it for me.

Greenvillsc,

 

Here are a few places to check.

Settings -> Dev Options -> Advanced

Don't keep Activities

unchecked

Background Limit

standard limit

 

I think that your phone is killing off the phone app and when people call you it loads the app while the the phone rings.

Are you syncing your contacts through Facebook at all? A glitch popped up a few months ago (I'm suffering from it myself) and most indications are that its related to Facebook contacts sync. Supposedly the issue is fixed in Jelly Bean.

Thanks to all the responses, I will try them and update you on what happens. Mike I haven't updated to jelly bean yet. Are all or most of the bug worked out? Does jelly bean help any toward the LTE issue? I don't have LTE yet but do pick up a signal a few miles away and have to do the airplane in and out mode to get pick up LTE. If the jelly bean update corrected this problem I will be updating as soon as Sprint turns LTE on in greenville.

I have not upgraded my EVO LTE to JB yet either, so I can't confirm it personally. But I have seen other threads on XDA and elsewhere talking about this exact issue, and apparently others have resolved the problem by upgrading.

 

As far as LTE issues, each software, firmware, and radio upgrade has reportedly improved the situation. I'm running ICS with thte latest firmware and radio, and while I still have some issues, I believe a lot of it is related to the half-built LTE network in my area. If you want to update your device the easy way (or your device is not rooted), take all of the latest stock Sprint updates, and you'll be on JB with the latest radios and firmware.

 

If you don't want to upgrade to JB yet, you can still install the latest firmware and radios if your device is fully rooted (S-OFF) and you can follow directions.. check the links below for more information on that, there are instructions and a lengthy discussion:

If you don't feel comfortable following the instructions there, or your device is not fully rooted, don't try it. You could brick (i.e. break/crash/wreck/render inoperable) your device if you do it wrong. If you have questions about this process, check those threads; most of the questions you might have are probably already answered.

I upgraded to Jelly Bean last week, and the contacts delay problem is completely fixed.. everything else works well too. No complaints.

Thanks for the update! I'm guessing I may need to upgrade as well since my visual Voicemail updated, a few month back and seems to not work that well now. Do you have a more compleat LTE build out yet? and if so did it help your LTE connection?

Another question .... When open your bookmarks does your device refresh them as look for the marked page you want to open?

I haven't had much LTE progress around here lately, so not much has changed. I spend 90% of my time in areas where LTE is available though, and I found that switching the radio mode to "LTE, CDMA" was surprisingly not a bad idea. It basically forces your phone to either 1X or 4G, never connecting to 3G. As a result, it always holds onto an LTE signal, no matter how faint. It works well for me, but only because of the way the coverage is in my area. If I was stuck on 1X more often, I certainly wouldn't do it.. 3G is much faster than that.

 

As far as your bookmarks question, I'm not sure what you are asking...?

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
