[Bug] - SMS list: unrecognized phone numbers

[blutarsky965]

In the SMS message list, some messages from the same contact appear with the contact name, other messages with the phone number. Why is that?

[FJ]

Take a look at the contact details in MyPhoneExplorer, maybe the number has a very diffrent format to the sms sender number so MPE is not able to assign the number to the right contact name

[blutarsky965]

Maybe you could simply parse & normalize both numbers (sender & contacts) in such a way they will be shown correctly in the "conversation" window. Easy.

[FJ]

MyPhoneExplorer does already normalize the numbers. Are the numbers different and if yes - how they are different ?

[blutarsky965]

Some messages are missing the international prefix (+39) in my case. This is why MPE fails recognizing the number. Maybe you could default to current country code, when missing?

[FJ]

The prefix should be no problem since MyPhoneExplorer does compare only the last 8 digits. How long is your problematic number ?

[blutarsky965]

It looks like MPE is randomly adding a leading zero when grouping numbers....
Number sample (hiding last 3 digits here for privacy)

1) 03339139... (leading 0)
2) 3339139... (no leading 0)

See the follwing image

[FJ]

You are from italy - right ? As far as i know in italy the leading zero is never truncated. The numbers should look like +39033.... -> or am i wrong ?

But anyway - MyPhoneExplorer will track a matching contact name by comparing only the last 8 digits. How is the number stored in the phonebook ?

[blutarsky965]

_ yes Italy's country code is +39
- there's no leading 0 (not allowed)
- the number is stored without the country code, and without leading zero

[FJ]

Ah - right, i swapped this in my mind

Again: How is the number saved in your phonebook so i can try to reproduce the problem

[blutarsky965]

- the number is stored without the country code, and without leading zero

[FJ]

I fixed now the problem with the leading zero, please test: http://www.fjsoft.at/files/MyPhoneExplo ... Update.exe

But i was still not able to detect why the contact is not resolved from the phonebook. It works on my PC with this type of numbers.

[blutarsky965]

Installed the beta, sorry, still not working..the offending numbers appearing in MPE are missing the international prefix... maybe should I download again messages from the phone?
Those messages are appearing correctly in the phone conversation...

[FJ]

It is normal that the international prefix is cut off. But this should make no problems in name<->number matching

[blutarsky965]

what can I try?

[FJ]

-> is the leading zero fixed ?
-> open the file %appdata%\MyPhoneExplorer\general.ini and search if the line ExactNumberCompare=1 does exist (this is a tweak which could also raise your problem). If it does exist then remove the line

[blutarsky965]

-> is the leading zero fixed ?

No

-> open the file %appdata%\MyPhoneExplorer\general.ini and search if the line ExactNumberCompare=1 does exist (this is a tweak which could also raise your problem). If it does exist then remove the line

No such line

[FJ]

Hmm. How we should continue ?
-> export two sms from screenshot with +3933... as sms-file
-> export two sms from screenshot with 33... as sms-file
-> export the contact which matches to this number as vCard-File

Zipp all 3 files and send them via email to me. No worry about data privacy, i'll delete the files from my PC as soon as the problem is fixed

[blutarsky965]

Mate it's working!

I have:
- Updated the address book on the PC
- Updated the messages on the PC

Probably the program did not show correctly data because no changes where applied and the format was still stored incorrectly.

Thanks

Hi
I have a problem with "following" zero in my call list. I'm using MPE version 1.8.4, Phone is SE CEDAR J108

You can see how number which are 6 digits long are displayed correctly, but 7 digits numbers gets zero in the back. But MPE recognizes it to the contact name.

i



Beside that problem, i have a problem with time of call. Every call is registrated 2 hours before real time. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks
