Hi, after upgrading my Rhodium to http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=629&news_id=219 all incoming calls are unknown, even the ones the have Called ID disabled. I have checked many of my contacts and they all say they do not have it blocked.
Bit lost here. Any ideas?
Had the same problem on my TP2.
After some randomly trying, i figured out how to solve it, it's pretty easy (at least for me...)
I just had to change all my phonenumbers starting with a 0 to +49 (Germany in my case, so you have to change it to your country then...)
For example:
0151xxxxxxxxxx
to
+49151xxxxxxxxxx
That does the trick, and there should be no more unknown callers
Hopefully helped you out
I had a similar problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548420
My TP2 would recognise my contacts if I wanted to send a sms / make a call but nothing incoming.
The solution I found that worked for me was to go to each contact - edit - do nothing - done.
After that it now works fine, although going through over 300 contacts like that almost sent me insane
I'd try on one first before going to all that effort
I once had the problem with contacts being saved wrongly. I used to have all contacts as:
+31..... (europe - the netherlands ... phone number)
but I had to change that into:
0031....
For some reason the + wasn't recognized well.
Oh my god...1000 contacts or so, all +31 :-( Stupid HTC
Thanks guys ...
Before you start editing hundreds of numbers:

I had to change to 6 numbers for the really short numbers.
Most of my numbers are informat +countrycode_operatorcode_phonenumber (without the underscorse, of course).

I have a stock Evo4G without root.
Serious issue here with one of my contacts on my Android phone:
In one of my contacts, I have a friend's name, phone number, and email address. His phone number is a domestic number 847-xxx-xxxx. His email address is a gmail address. Also listed in his account is a second number that starts with a (+39) international number and another one of his valid emails. When I edit that contact, I am unable to remove the international number from his contact, it does not appear as a number that I can edit. If I delete the contact completely from the phone or the computer (in both cases it makes him disappear from my gmail on my computer), he is still in my phone with his international number only. Then I can not edit this contact at all?! It isn't a google contact, it isn't a phone contact...it appears to be magical?
This is happening on my Evo4G, but also happened on my Hero. I was hoping that it would work its way out of my phone if it was a bug, but it clearly is a bug in google's software or something hanging on through my contacts? Has anyone had this issue. The Sprint CSRs were completely useless as I would have guessed. Can someone please help me elminate this contact?! I will also post over on a google forum.
Settings, account and sync, google, click the refresh button next to contacts. See if that removes it.
yeah, no dice. tried that first.
is it linked to another account? if so you'll have to edit the other account
Geez, nevermind. I figured this out. thanks though! This guy has an international phone number in his facebook account. I wasn't aware that it Android 2.1 was now pulling contact information from facebook as well. That's why it makes sense it is on my Hero and Evo.
Thanks! very sorry to waste your time. I'm an idiot.
Also a tip for anyone who may be having contact issues...
remove the account, wait like 2min reboot and re-add...that will force data to be re-fetched entirely - fixed an issue with missing photos for me
Hi in my country Lebanon ,mobile numbers starts with 03 or 70 or 71 than the 6 digit contact number.. the problem is that my HTC desire doesn't show SMS sender name upon receiving sms sent from senders that starts with 03(local sms), instead showing the sender number.I am having this sender in my contact list. There is no issues while receiving international SMS or senders with phone numbers starting with 70 or 71.
But when the same person calls me, its displaying the caller name correctly.
What would be the reason?
I tried the adding the country code +961 to the contacts, but if i do that, the sms problem disappear BUT call receiving stopped showing caller name - only number is shown.
One thing i noticed is, while receiving SMS, the sender number is preceded by country code(+961) while receiving a call only caller number is there.
a temporary workaround is to add 2 numbers for each contact: when with the country code +961 and another one without it.. but it is frustrating if u have hundreds off contacts
My iphone had the same problem but it was fixed easily by downloading a program "Caller Id fix, i think this is due to the number of digits in the phone number it seems.the device needs minimum 8 digits and it doesn't consider the zero in 03 as a digit!
Any help?
I am in Lebanon too and I have the same problem.
Since we have the (03) area code, the matching fails on it because the phone number would be 1 digit less than the configured matching preset in Android.
This sucks big time. I've read on all forums, and there's no fix. I tried asking in htc-linux chat room, and no one answers We're doomed lol..
I'm on Android 2.2 by the way, and the problem is still there.
Apple fixed this on iPhone it by adding a database of countries and specifying the matching preset for each country. Android = no
Same problem here, there must be a way. Perhaps modifying some XML in Android root?
Same problem here. no solution yet.
Only workaround is to Backup ur google contacts (CSV), edit them in Excel so that you would have 2 numbers for each contact, then re-import into google.
Even with hundreds of contacts it should not take you more than 10 minutes.
Hopefully this would be fixed soon.

Hi Guys,
Anyone found a solution for this issue. I am on HTC Desire HD and still have the problem.In addition if you store the number as 9613xxxxxx then the name will not be shown when someone calls in.
Apparently it's a problem only with HTC since Samsung Android doesn't have this problem.
Thanks
Are you all on custom software? Have you recently flashed a new ROM??
I had the same issue once, where I hadn't restored Contacts from Titanium properly, so all SMS I received did not show sender ID.
Just a thought...
I have my new HTC Trophy set up to sync with Exchange/Outlook. I'm in Norway, so my contacts phone numbers are stored in Outlook in this format: +47 12345678
Now, when in Norway and getting incoming calls from 12345678, the phone does not recognize the caller.
Is this a known issue? Any workarounds other than removing +47 from all my contacts?
I'm having the same issue!
Anyone know how to setup WP7 to recognize not only the full number?
Nothing new here?
i noticed that in the windows live contacts section you can specify which country the contact is in,..would that help?
i don't know..i'm not having these problems to be honest!
In outlook you store the phone number with +47 but when you dial the number, you want to dial it without the +47
Is that correct?
I have had similar issues with other phones with extra "0" in between region/country/city codes, for example in Germany.
I have a couple of ideas:
1. There is the International Dialing assist function. I have no idea what it does other than what's described undertneat it... Does that do anything helpful?
2. What if you create a separate Windows Live account, and add in /copy your contacts, without the +47; then link the two contacts. The contacts will appear as just 1 contact in your phone, and you'll have the option to call with or without the +47
So here is the deal:
I have set all my contacts mobile numbers using the right local area code (for example 04111-8181-8181) so when I’m traveling to other city the call is routed correctly. But when someone call me I receive the number without the area code (example 8181-8181) and the phone did not match this with the contact.
So the problem is not when I'm dialing the number but when I receive an incoming call from my contacts.
I don't know what this International Assist do too but is turned On.
And hboos, I didn't find where I do set up this Country in Live Contacts but I don't think that this is the problem since all of my most important contacts are coming from Outlook.
Thanks
I store all my contacts like this one: +49123456 without any spaces. My HD7 recognizes them all. Perhaps you have to remove the space?
Well, if removing the spaces/formatting doesn't work, you can always go with my other suggestion. Create a separate address book in a Windows Live account with the incoming CID number, and link the two contacts on WP7 (open contact 1, click the chain link at the bottom, click contact 2). WP7 is even smart enough to suggest you likely links.
Talys, this suggestion lead me to another question: Is there one button to link all my contacts or I need to go one by one (because I have 1200+ contacts).
I'll try to remove the spaces.
Just an update, didn't work removing all the spaces
I've got the same problem. Living in Norway, syncing with Exchange/Outlook and storing all my phone numbers with a +47 prefix. I'm sure creating a windows live contact for each of my Exchange/Outlook contact and link them would work. But with 800+ contacts, the thought of maintaining two lists doesn't sound like a feasible solution for me.
I've tried the following.
Using a 0047 prefix instead of the +47. Same problem.
Removing any spaces that Outlook add automatically. Same problem
Using a windows live contacts instead of Outlook/Exchange contacts. Same problem.
The best solution I've come up with so far, is to store all my Outlook/Exchange contacts with two numbers. One without the prefix and one with. This isn't really working either I like to store mobile number where they belong.
However, everything seams to work as expected with SMS/MMS messages. The +47 prefix doesn’t cause any problems what so ever.
Now with some developers already getting access to WP7 registry I think it's a matter of time to find the entry to edit

I don't think there's a button to automatically link your contacts.... that's a lot of contacts to link! But you only need to link the ones that are important for Call Display, right? So the list would be smaller?
i always have the same problem on wm6 and had was to edit the registry caller ID match the default is 8 so if you change it to 6 or 7 then it will be ok..so its just to get access to the wp7 registy to change that setting

Sorry to bring that again but that's THE POINT!! We need to hack the registry to edit this.
Anyone have done this?

no....there is no access YET to the registry or file system
try this reg key
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
Have you tried Settings -> Applications -> phone and International assist - On?

I don't think this is the problem, or if it is, the default value is higher than 8 as all phonenumbers in Norway has 8 digits. 11 if you also count the +47.
In any case, works fine for me using Telia in Sweden - I have numbers stored in a variety of ways including +46 (0123) 12345 as well as +4612312345 and they all seem to show who's calling. Could be it's operator dependant somehow?
I have the same problem, my contacts are synced from Google. Country Slovenia, format +386 31xxxxxx. Number does not link to name of the contact. Tried Caller ID fix from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971, but problem remains. Can someone try and see if it works for him?
[Q] Gmail Contacts - Missing Phone Numbers (only mobile & work numbers sync to phone)
Hello all,
Just got my first wp7 (samsung focus) a few days ago and there are some glaring issues that need to be worked on through MS updates, but there is one in particular that is bugging me.
Gmail Contacts: The issue I'm having is they sync, but only certain phone numbers. For instance, my girlfriend has 4 numbers. A mobile, two work numbers, and a google voice number. My phone will only sync her mobile & main work number so I do not have access to either her google voice number (which I really need) and her secondary work line.
Is there something I'm missing? Or is this just one of the things they will be addressing at some point down the line? Hopefully there is something I am missing as I need to at the very least have access to everybody's contact information.
Thanks in advance
Well, for now,I just made a second contact for her with her google voice # as her mobile. I know the OS is new, but I hope they get the contact issues worked out sooner rather than later as the main function of my phone is still contact with humans (for now).
well afaik thats just because exchange does not support the other number fields

Will it work if change the gmail sever to the IMAP address?
I had this problem also.
I'm afraid to say that I looked all over the internet and couldn't find a solution for this.
I fixed it by changing phone number types to known once, e.g mobile, work, home (other is not supported).
IMAP = email only, no contacts, calendar, or anything else.
That's a weird one, I haven't run into this problem yet. I just looked at 3 people who I know I have a pager (really their Skype Numbers), work number, home number, cell number and Work 2/company and all showed up just fine on my DVP. hmm...
