Phone Link not showing Contact Names....again

Anonymous

Displays mix of number and contact names. Used to display Names only. It's free, so I guess I get what I pay for?

Well, I just checked and PhoneLink isn't showing names anymore!!! Just numbers. Too weird. I took the phone away from the house last night and so the Link was broken. I wonder if the problem is innate to the sync algorithm being used; i.e. the sync'd names are lost and not re-synced after working once. This problem never occurred with me until about 12 months ago. Maybe Long Covid? Damn frustrating when you need the keyboard for a message.

This was the first time I've had it happen, and hopefully the last. Hopefully your issue is resolved as well!

Thanks, Fred. I did this prescription previously and it helped and then things went bad again. Today, I looked again, and PhoneLink seems to have fixed itself! I'm going to guess either it or my phone software has changed. My PhoneLink version is 1.22112.142.0. My Samsung S10 Android is at Version 12. If the past is precedent, I'll have the same issue again in a couple of weeks, but fingers are crossed.

Thank you, Fred!! This worked for me and I now see names, not numbers, in the PC Phone Link messaging pane...
