Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
I am using the latest Nightly build of Valent installed via Flatpak. All my existing messages only show the phone number instead of the contact name.I have already tried the following:
This seems to come down to one of two possibilities
According to
ps aux | grep evolution-addressbook-factory, the process appears to be running. However, when I run this command:flatpak run --command=sh ca.andyholmes.Valent -c 'gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook1 --object-path /org/gnome/evolution/dataserver/AddressBook1 --method org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook1.GetContactList ""'I get the error:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook1 was not provided by any .service files
This suggests the service is not actually available/running.
2. Phone number format
I store numbers in the format (xxx) xxx-xxxx with no country code, since I only call within the US. Adding 1 or +1 often prevents the phone from dialing correctly (this has been the case for me since Android 4) but for testing I edited one contact and added +1 to it, but it did not change. Also worth noting that when a message is received, the pop-up shows a name as well as number.
I switched from KDE Connect to Valent because KDE Connect does not play audible alerts for incoming messages. Since I use noise-canceling headphones, I need reliable desktop notifications.
Is there anything else I can try to fix this issue?
