Iphone 4 only showing phone numbers and not names

    Ok, so I have only just bought an Iphone 4 online, just getting used to it. but I have one problem. I have all my contact names & numbers saved on my phone, but when one of my contacts tries to ring or text me, I only see their number and no name, so I don't know who it is calling most of the time.

    Anyone know how to fix this? It's really annoying.

    I know one way of fixing it, but it will take forever, and that's re-entering all the numbers and putting the +353 in-front of the numbers, which really is a pain in the a*%e.

    It sounds like they've been duplicated maybe? Have a look in settings under mail, contacts etc and see which set of contacts it is using.

    Doesn't seem to be any setting like that.

    Other forums are saying i need to jailbreak it and install cydia, which I haven't a clue how to do.

    It's unlocked with a gevey sim. Am I able to jailbreak and cydia, because I can't update the software on the phone or it will knock off all together and I'll have to bring it back into town.

    My phones firmware is 4.3.3 by the way.

    I'm pretty sure If I try to install that IPSW update it will knock my phone off again.

    I tried to update my phone stupidly the other day and made a mess of it. Is it possible to downgrade.

    I bought the phone off gumtree, I have a strong feeling the phone has been reported lost or stolen, would that have anything to do with the problems.
