It's because our phone has saved the number twice. And thus having a conflict only shows the number. If you (or I) knew where they number was stored (in ./blah/whatevs) we could edit the stored numberS to a number.

But doesn't give us access to that... without enabling developer mode.

And know where what we want to edit it.

Hopefully your thread motivates someone to post that location.

This happens to me too - but some numbers only. I've merged and combined the "raw" numbers to names etc but there doesn't appear (to me) to be a why / how most stored numbers show only the number (not name) when they call OR only the number (again not name) when they text...

Really, it is really a bug? not the malfunction of my phone?

Hmm, then there is bug somewhere if your running PR1.2.

Then it seems that your only option is to have 2 number entries per contact.

I save Mary's Phone with international code, but when she calls me, it has not matched with the name.

I usually use international format for all my contacts and it just works fine for any phones I use including N9. It should work even it's China version. Perhaps you want to try to change the system language to see if it works or not. Sounds stupid but just to confirm if you are really that unlucky one getting bug like this for your N9.

By the way, don't let Mary's number show up for her privacy sake as quite a bit of members are from HK as well.
