Display Names for SMS Inbox

[gavinloh]

Hi xda2 users, I dont seem able to find a thread on this issue. Perharps I have wrong configuration.

The problem is this. Got sms-es, but unable to view the sender in the inbox. It display the sender's full phone number instead. It is not wise if we have to guess or find in the contacts.

Since we are in XDA2, anyone using photo contacts? I remove caller_id at startup and is it why it wont work? Hehe, try for fun. Thanks.

Well, I am able to see caller name from the Contacts (not sim card) when the person call. So, I dont think this is a problem of me removing caller id at start up. Could it be that the format for the humber in contacts and sms inbox is different?

For example, my contacts number format is (016) 123-4567. Tested that it can be used to call, too lazy to change all to normal number since this is previous iPaq format. Meanwhile sms inbox no is of +0161234567.

Please advise. Thanks.
