Metadata fields in library are populated the same way it results from adding just a book file from a directory on the hard disk, metadata info on the device is ignored (even though Calibre itself shows them to me)..
Metadata, whether from a book being added from the hard disk or your device is set depending on what you have checked in Preferences - Adding books. Go to this section of preferences and check the box next to "Read metadata from file contents rather than file name" and redo the Add books to library from device.
