Person calling isn't popping up, just number (iPhone 4)

My phone was working fine the first few months, I imported my phone directory, and when someone would call. The name would pop-up on my screen (tech package).

The last month or so, when someone calls, just the phone # will pop-up on my screen. I reimported all my phone #'s and that didn't seem to fix it.

Obviously I'd like to know who's calling and not their phone #.

Any help to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated!

I have an iPhone 4 and noticed this also.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the phone, but I don't think Apple did an update to it recently. I noticed this late last week.

It might've been from the new iPhone software, 5.0?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue, but it definitely stinks!

I doubt it, I've had 5.0 for a while and it only recently started doing this.

I'm with you though, I don't like seeing just the number since I don't know who it is half of the time.

I'm considering deleting all my contacts from the Acura, and then reinstalling.

How recently did it start doing this?

I've noticed this as well, doing some searching it almost seems like its a bug in the system as its just inconsistent for me at this point... sometimes I get a name, sometimes I don't.

Anyone figure this one out? I'm still just getting the number, which kinda stinks. I have to look down at my iPhone.

This just started happening to me a few weeks ago. It worked after both of the iOS5 updates. Then suddenly stopped and just shows the number. Maybe Apple pushed a silent update? I haven't tried re-syncing, but the numbers are all still in my phone book.

Yeah, I think it has to do with Apple to be honest.

I haven't updated the current OS for a few months, maybe I shall try tonight!?!?!

Delete your phone from the system. Re-pair it, resend the address book to the car.

That fixed it for me.

Did anybody figure out a solution?

I have deleted my phone from the system, and resent the address book (2-3 times). It seems to work for a few days, then the names will stop showing and only the phone numbers.

Has anybody found a permanent solution?

I deleted the phone and address book and did a total new re-sync - same issue still

I don't get what changed to now only show numbers instead of the names (I guess its an Iphone update thing?)

Check with your dealer. There is a recently released HFL upgrade for the '12 TL that addressed phonebook and tagged entry problems. It's a warranty fix, takes all of about 15 minutes in and out of the dealership. Got mine upgraded this morning but haven't yet had an opportunity to play with it.

This probably isn't the same as your issue since it's worked before, but I noticed I had to add a 1 at the beginning of my contacts phone numbers in order for their name to show when they call...otherwise it was just the number.

I'm having the same trouble with my 2012 and also can't get the phone tags to work unless I press the call button 3 times
Went to the dealer on Friday they said they think that's the way it works but are going to look into it. Pretty sad that my 2008 BMW 3 press once say name and voila will see if they get back to me.

I just synced my phone this evening. I have a 4G Iphone. I was playing around with the the HFL and noticed, to my surprise, the number was the only thing that popped up when receiving a call. I too, would rather see the person who is calling me...I don't know phone numbers. I just bought a new 2012 TL-Tech Package. I wonder if it is an Apple thing. Anyone solve this --from reading other posts it seems the name should be what shows on the screen.

Ok. I can't get anything to show up; numbers or name. Did I do something wrong when I synced my phone to the car?
