I have bought Nokia E63 mobile. I have saved all the contacts from my sim card to my mobile, but while receiving the incoming calls the names are not displayed in the mobile and only the mobile numbers are...

The problem here would be duplicate contacts. When a call comes it searches the number in the Phone and SIM and displays the name pointing to that. Here in your case I suppose the same contact with the same number would be entered twice ( SIM + Phone) and phone gets confused which name to display and it shows just the number instead of name.
To solve this what you can try is to disable the SIM contacts from displaying. To do that go to Menu>Contacts>Options>Settings>Contacts> Contacts to display - Select Phone Memory only.
Hope this helps. Good Luck. ~SmokinJoe~

NOT DISPLAYING CONTACT NAME AND NUMBER DURING INCOMING CALLS on nokia 1600, it is showing no number on screen. can you guide me how to resolve this problem?

If there's no software related issue, this must be problem with contacts. When a contact is saved multiple times, this happens. Check the specific number that's displayed only numbers and make sure you have only one saved contact with that number. This is usual when the same contact is saved on both the sim card and on the phone memory. In other words, duplicate contacts. Once one of the contact is deleted, you'll have no more problem.
Let me know if you need further help.
Good Luck.

Dear Sir, I am using Samsung SJ700 mobile phone.And sometimes I get incoming call with no number displayed on the screen. It just shows incoming call. Can you pls help me in sorting out this...

This happens when two or more similar (saving one number with different names) contacts is saved on your phonebook, i.e. if you've saved my number on the sim card with a name and at the same time you have my number (same number) on your phone's memory, the caller id will not be displayed, you'll only see the "Incoming Call" or "Call". So I would suggest you to please check the phonebook and delete (keep only one per number) if there are multiple similar contacts saved on your phonebook.

You can also reset the phone to Factory default, in case there's no problem with your phonebook/contacts.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Incoming callers names dont show up..

Check and see if your contacts have the country code added to the front of their mobile numbers.

E.g Samoa (00685) mobile number or (+685)
NZVF (0064) 21XXXXXXXX not 021XXXXXXXXXX

Keep me updated with your progress.

Could not get the calls in my phone

Dear Madhavi

1) Problem in incoming call will be issue of network error, check with the operator service provider or try typing *#3370# for increase network receptionn but it will drain ur mobile charging

2) contact not displaying will be occur due to low memory problem but continue with restarting & keep backup of ur cause it will be helpful incase if they have not retrived by restart

3) You have duplicate entry saved in phone & also in sim card in that case phone dont shows name & shows only no. So please delete & try to keep contact only in sim or phone memory

Hopes above solution will be helpfull

Please revert ur comment or rate above solution

Regards

Contact Name not being displayed while call comes in

Give your phone a format. Phone will be ok. For format press *#7370# it will ask you security code then press 12345., will take some time................ but don't forget to backup all your contacts and necessary files first.
