Lenovo A850+ - contact name doesn't appear - Lenovo A850

I have a problem with my A850+ (i think, the same problem appear on A850 too).
Incoming calls - contact name does not appear (appear only telephone number - the number is stored in the phone book in international format +386 xx xxx xxx).
I know there is a problem by checking the numbers (match=8 ; this is the correct setting for my case).
Where exactly do I find this setting? Which file I need to change?

I found a solution. The phone must have root access. With ROOT EXPLORER you have to find the file "System / build.prop". This file you have to open in text editor. In this file you have to add the following text: "ro.phone.min_match = 8". Then you have to save this file and reboot the phone.
In this case, the dialer will compare the last 8 digits and will display contact me.

I have the same problem in Portugal... how can i fix that?

That procedure works in any country? One other question, what is the best rom for my Lenovo A850+ at this moment?

How it looks (your phone number) in the international format? How many digits it contains?

The code for my country is +351, the cellphone number itself have 9 digits...
So it looks something like +351 xxx xxx xxx (x = my number)

In your case you have to add the following text:
"ro.phone.min_match = 9" (without " ")
Then you have to save this file and reboot the phone
P.S.
See the instructions in # 2

when you were storing a contact where you were choosing to store it?

go to dialer if you can in contacts tab and in the top you will see options for showing contacts

I found it one of itsme_4ucz's posts:
The contacts are stored in a SQLite3 database file so the file format is ".db"
The development tool Android Debug Bridge (ADB) can be used to extract the file from an EMULATOR
ADB can also extract the file from a phone but it must be rooted first AND the ADB drivers must be installed on your machibe as well
(Rooting is NOT for beginners though)
The contacts.db file is stored in the protected system memory, the file path is:
data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db

[Q] Debrand Dead End: Nokia Product Support Tool V5

I've downloaded an unbranded stock UK ROM (i think) for a Nokia 1020 64Gb to replace the O2 rubbish.
It is file
RM875_3051.40000.1345.1003_RETAIL_eu_euro1_212_03_336753_prd_signed.ffu
It was automatically downloaded to C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-875
I try to 'make' Product Support Tools for Store 5.0 find the download. It will not.
Regardless of which folder I place the download in (and alter the supposed location path) all the Recovery Tool sees is the software
already installed on the Nokia 1020 - filename. It defaults to this file.
RM875_059T1Z9_3051.40000.1345.1003_062.vpl
This is the nasty O2 branded crap already on the Nokia 1020 and all it wants to find.
Have I just downloaded another O2 branded rom ?
Dead end and out of ideas.
All answers on a postcard please to Muppet The Wonder Dog.
Do I have to remove something that makes it default to the installed
version of software ?
Thanks in anticipation.

The download was successful. The 059T1V6 files are downloaded to C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-875. I used NaviFirm+ to download.
Alas, Product Support Tool for Store 5.0 does not want to locate the files. Why ? I have moved the files (and changed the path) to different locations in an attempt to persuade the software to locate the 059T1V6 files. But NO ...it will not.
Every time I try to change the address path to where I've moved the files is adds "\Products" to the path address. Not helpful.
When I create the path it thinks it wants .C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-875\Products...and place the files in this folder..it still refuses to locate the files.
Going round in ever decreasing circles.
Thanks in advance Anaheim.

The reason I paid & used NaviFirm+ to DL the FW is the DL worked.
I am unable to get Nokia Data Manager to accept any text entry in any of its fields to start a DL.
I am unable to get Nokia Product Support Tool V5 to see/locate the (apparently) identical FW downloaded via NaviFirm+ to start the 'Recovery' process.
I'm on fully patched W7 (x64)

If you are in offline mode in the Data Package Manager (and according to the screenshot, you are) you can not DL the ROM.
Similarly for Product Support Tool, why did you connect directly your Lumia?
Follow the tutorial that I provided and you will get there.If you are unable to properly follow the steps (in most it's extremely detailed and with the screenshots), sorry but I can not help you.

As I said the problem is not in the downloading of the ROM.
It was very easy in NaviFirm+. I recommend the software for its simplicity and ease of use.
I have identical ROMs downloaded via Nokia Data Package & NaviFirm+.
The problem appears that the data path in Product Support Tool for Store V5.0 appends as a suffix '\Products' to the data download path. This is not the default path given from the Data Package Manager. The path is not user editable. If I create the additional folder and move the files to the folder it says it is looking for.... the Nokia package still fails to locate the FW it is trying to Recover. There are no screenshots to illustrate any error message. There is no error message.
I appreciate that it is very difficult to convey the exact steps in unambiguous English. I have been very fortunate in both multiple JailBreaks and the application of Cyanogen Mod to a collection of Samsungs..
To delete.
all paths added have the sub-folder ' \Products
' appended to the text string. I am unable to edit the path name. Just add another.
See

One possibility would be to use thor2 to change the product code on the device, then let the WDRT do its job.

Hello,
You need to change the following two lines on your local.prop file (located on /data/cust/prop/) to your location in order to do that:
Original:
ro.product.locale.language=zh
ro.product.locale.region=CN
You will change for example:
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=EN
You need root to access and save the file, also make a backup of the current file for future updates.
im able to get root access using file explorer. unfortunately i can't seem to copy any file in this folder. im using fx and mixplorer both failed
Try Total Commander.
Overwrite not working for me either.
But with root, first delete file, than copy new edited to folder, than change rwx properties of file.
But, Chinese symbols still present in call log. For country, Germany is ok, but instead of Czech Republic two Chinese symbols.

But still there is no way to make the change without root ?
Well, I modified the local.prop and for me at least, it doesnt work. Chinese characters are still present. And I live in Spain btw.
Any update? I am also facing same problem.
After a reboot the new incoming characters (in emails) and the contacts should be OK.
100% Working !!!
