6. Factory reset (last resort):

         Here are a few additional steps you can try to resolve the issue of call logs not showing or contact names not displaying in the call log on your Samsung M51:


7. Check contact settings:

   a. Open the "Contacts" app on your Samsung M51.

   b. Locate a contact that is not displaying in the call log.

   c. Tap on the contact to open its details.

   d. Verify that the contact's phone number is saved correctly and associated with the appropriate contact name.

   e. If the contact details are incorrect, edit the contact and ensure that the correct information is saved.


8. Sync contacts with Google account:

   g. Check if the call logs now display the contact names correctly.


9. Check for third-party apps:

   It's possible that a third-party app installed on your Samsung M51 is interfering with the call log functionality. To check if this is the case, try the following:

   a. Restart your phone in Safe Mode. You can usually enter Safe Mode by pressing and holding the Power button until the power options menu appears. Then, long-press the "Power Off" option until a prompt appears to enter Safe Mode.

   b. Once in Safe Mode, check if the call logs are showing properly with contact names.

   c. If the call logs work correctly in Safe Mode, it indicates that a third-party app is causing the issue. Uninstall recently installed apps one by one until the problem is resolved.


10. Contact your network provider:

    In some cases, call log issues may be related to network or carrier-specific settings. Contact your network provider's customer support and explain the problem you're facing. They may be able to assist you with troubleshooting steps specific to their network.


11. Update or reinstall Phone app:

    If the call log issue persists, there may be a problem with the Phone app itself. Try the following steps:

    a. Open the Google Play Store on your Samsung M51.

    b. Search for the "Phone" app.

    c. If an update is available, tap on the "Update" button. If no update is available, proceed to the next step.

    d. If updating the app doesn't resolve the issue, uninstall updates for the Phone app, and then reinstall the latest version.

    e. Restart your phone and check if the call logs and contact names are now displaying correctly.


If none of the above steps help resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Samsung customer support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.
