text messages & pictures now showing up correct

I've had my a900 a week after it was released, and since then I've had some issues with it. For one when I receive text messages, it doesn’t show the persons name if I have it stored in my phonebook, but sometimes it does.

Example, when i get a message from Joe Smo it shows Joe Smo’s name, but when I get one from my wife it shows her cell number and not a name. So half the time I need to hit SEND to dial the number to show who it's from with out going through my phonebook to find it.

Second, when I select a picture for a contact to show up on either screen (outside/inside) either it doesn’t work and shows half black half static, or it shows the wrong picture, or it shows no picture at all. But, then again, sometimes it works. I'd say ...

Topic of the thread was ment to say "NOT showing up correct" instead of "NOW"

Sorry about that, apparently you cannot edit any posts on this type of board. . .

The problem you are having with only the number showing up and not the name when you get text messages was a problem that I had initially. There is nothing wrong with the phone other than poor software design. You have to edit all your contacts and erase the "1" before the area code. If you have Joe Shmo saved as 1-909-999-9999 in your contacts...it shows up in your inbox as 909-999-9999. When you erase the "1" it will show the name of the person.

As for your second problem...I dont know.
