I have one problem here, its like the incoming sms shows the sender number instead of the saved sender name. However this not occur on every contact in my list, only a few, i double checked the contact and no cloning in the list, anybody has encountered this ?

Yes...just one of the many wonderful bugs the phone has.

okay, so confirmed its the free bugs that bundled with N97 package. Thanks for the clarification !

nvr got this problem..
i think maybe u somehow duplicate d entry?
hav u chck with ur simcard?u might have double entry..one in ur fon n one in ur simcard..

nway..i juz updated my firmware to v11..
no more unlock problem!!

mine oso like tis!!....i oledi checked frm Taiwan forum website....
it's caused by we transfer our contact lists frm sony ericsson to Nokia n97....
and the format not same between it......

Its more likely caused by having the same contact in the phone contacts and the simcard contacts. Always happenes, never fails when you have duplicate contacts in this manner. Clear out your sim contacts and then switch off and switch on your phone again and see whether it still happens.

huh ? the sim contact will have this problem also ? AFAIK , only duplicate contact in the phone memory will have this problem. The problem is not every contact have this problem, only some but it's not a few , around 20% of my 800++ contact. When the person called in , will appear their name , but when sms in, it will only shows their number, quite frustrating as i have to press the call button to check who is the sender !

anyone know where to download free games ar? tq in advance.

For your info , my contact was moved from N96 using the " transfer " software. I dont think the compatibility will be the issue here.

Yes, I have experienced this exact same problem before. And later on, you may find that sometimes, even for incoming calls you dun get to see your contact's name and just see his/her number only. Yes, it doesn't affect all numbers but only certain numbers and there is no way of telling why. Basically, when a sms or call comes in, the phone searches ALL contacts, including the sim card contacts. So where there is a same contact within the phone memory and the sim card as well, the phone gets confused as to which name it should choose to display (although its the same name) and just gives up and just shows the number only.

So try cleaning out your sim card and see....

The phone does not search the entire phonebook to match the numbers.

The phone only registers the last or first 4 or 5 numbers.

012-3456789

and

012-5436789

There are chances that these will be registered as "duplicated" contacts.

It's not Nokia's problem. All phones are manufactured like that.

well.. for me i checked my sim.. and then deleted the sim no... ta da.. no more missing name from sms....


btw.. anyone using any case for this phone?
