number@unknown.person with Nexus One

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When syncing my Nexus one text messages to Gmail, every message appears 
as "number@unknown.person" (where number is there phone number) instead of 
the contacts name.

- Nexus One
- V2.1-update1

At first, SMS Backup is a very useful app, thanks !!!
But I have the following problem with HTC Desire:
"number@unknown.person" appears after changing the contact name
(before that it worked correctly)
changing the contact name to the old value (and also de- and reinstalling
of SMS Backup) didn´t help.
Are there any logfiles or settings on the sd-card wich I could repair manually?

Thank you!

I'm seeing the same problem on my desire. Before on my Hero SMSes were backed 
up with the contact name and not the telephone number. Now with my desire all 
SMSes are being backed up with the number.
Is this a bug? Or must the people (name + number) be also present as contacts 
in gmail?

All the best,
Nick

Same here, on my desire a bunch of numbers appear as "number@unknown.person" 
whilst some others don't. Can't see a pattern :(

Happening on my droid x. Never used to do this. I am very disappointed. Is 
there a fix??

The same on my u8230 (v2.1-update1) - The problem occurs with Gmail contacts. 
With Phone contacts app works better. But now instead of 
"number@unknown.person" I have empty "From" or "To" field (issue41).

on verizon phones, disabled the backup assistant.  This was conflicting with 
the sms backup.  Since contacts are synced with google already.  I did this on 
my Samsung Fascinate and I no longer get the "number@unknown.person" when sms 
are backed up to gmail
