I have been having this problem on my HTC one m8 since I bought it. I save a number without a country code. I receive a call from the number it doesn't show the contact name I've linked it to. It just shows the number with the country code +XXX 123456 And if I save a contact with a country code when I receive a call it has the country code and doesn't show the contact name and only the number without country code 123456. I have to save both the numbers in the contact info for it to show the caller ID.
This is really annoying because when I sometimes receive messages or calls by numbers that I have saved onto my phone. I can't tell who they are. Would really appreciate any solutions.

I have just purchase the above PDA (ROM:1.56.721.3 dated 29.08.07) with radio version 1.27.2.11. When I receive a local call from contact, the name of the caller does is not displayed. Only the phone number (7 digits). However, when I receive an SMS, the name of the same caller is displayed. If I remove the country code in the contact number and leave the local number only, then the name of the caller is displayed. In that case, the name is not displayed when I receive and SMS from that contact. Can you please help?
I've got the same problem. After upgrading I imported all my contacts from outlook and the phone doesn't display contact name on receiving a call.
I created a contact using the phone contacts app and that is recognised when it is called.
Something different between an imported contact and one created using WM6 contact app?
Anybody know what is going on here?

Hello everyone, I installed RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE on my phone and it is workig great. The problem I am having is that in my country phone numbers consist of only 8 digits fotmated XXXXXXXX or XXXX-XXXX y my contacts list BUT when someone calls me his/her name does not come up, instead I get for example: (XXX)XXX-XX because the caller ID format seems to be (XXX)XXX-XXXX (expecting an area code) So I never get to se de name of the caller, instead I get a poorly readable number. How can I fix this?
TIA!
LOL, Try Moving to America, where we use these style phone numbers!

Did you try changing your Regional Settings to match the country you're in ?
Store all phone numbers in international "+" format
The key is to store all your numbers in full international format.
+CCCAANNNNNNNNNN
where CCC is the country code, AA is the area code (omiting any leading zeros in most countries) and NNNNNNNNNN is the local phone number.
For ease of use in your address book, you can space the digits out, or add parentheses or dashes, as these are ignored at dialing/matching time. It makes the numbers easier to read.
Eg. +CCC-AA-NNNNN-NNNNN, +CCC (AA) NNNNN-NNNNN would be treated the same.
All GSM phones receive the complete international designation phone numbers on incoming calls - so it will match on the full number always.
Based on your SIM, and your country's dialing rules built into the SIM, it will also match on numbers that have no country code, but have a complete local area code (including leading zero if appropriate) and complete number. This is to allow it to match on non mobile phone originated calls. I believe it will assume your local country code based on your SIM, and apply the appropriate zero stripping rules to the received caller ID to create a fully qualified international number to match on.
This also takes all the guess work out of making calls should you ever roam into another country. For example, if you live in the USA and store a number for Ireland as 01135312345678 - this will work from the USA. But, if you travel to Ireland, where the international access code is not 011 - but rather 00 - that number will fail. Storing the numbers with the "+" prefix instead of the local international access prefix allows the SIM card to do the work. The SIM card registers on the roaming provider's nerwork, and "asks" that network how to dial a "+".
Finally, the presentation of the number on screen is just a factor of the application that is displaying it. If you use the international format for your numbers, they will successfully match, and will display the number in the format in which you have stored them in your address book. If they don't match, they will display using the default number interpreting logic of whatever ROM you have loaded. For most of us here, that would be the Brighpoint USA ROM or the T-Mobile ROM - both of which try to format numbers as USA style AAA-XXX-NNNN
Hope this helps
Thank you, I entered +COUNTRY_CODE in the phone settings call options and it is working now.
Thanks a lot!!

How to go the phone settings call option
Solved.
i have a lot of phone numbers on my mobile.
i downloaded all the numbers from Gmail when i entered my gmail email and password.
now: i travel a lot so i have the important numbers installed in my mobile with my country international number and the not so important numbers with the normal phone number i use when i am in my country.
all of the numbers that starts with the phone numbers with out the country code, the name that i have put that number to will not appear but if i put it in international code the name appears with out a problem.
if i call jack for example with the international code it will appear like a normal call in the phone log, and when he calls me it will appear like a new call and will not tell me that i have called him before.
so no one has this problem?
shod i factory reset the phone?
So the problem is it doesn't match the number with a contact when they call you, unless you saved the same number with the country code?
Just a thought but is your phone set to your own region? I haven't looked at the matching code so it could be that it should simply match any number which contains the number in your contacts, regardless of country code. It could also be a match against your Local (regional setting). I don't really have this problem personally since I always enter all numbers with the country code since I also travel abroad often enough for it to be worth the effort.
EDIT: You can check the code here.
what will this code do?
i had the galaxy S with out problems, now with the galaxy nexus when i look at the call log, some times you can see the name some times no.
When i recieve SMS the number comes with country code, and in my People directory i have the numbers saved without country code. So, in my SMS header, it wont recognize who is sending me sms, just number. When i call that number, phone recognizes person and writes its name and picture.
Any way i can avoid this except editing all contacts by adding country code to them ( for Serbia it is +381...)
Thanks in advance

Dobar dan!
In short, the only way is to add the country code for each contact who is outside of Serbia. If that is happening with contacts in Serbia it may be an issue with your carrier (Telekom Srbija?).
HI all
im having a problem on my m8 tmobile.
i got it in the US and im using it in another country - all works good except one thing.
lets say i have a contact saved in my address book as DAVE and his phone number is 12345678
when Dave calls me i see his name on the screen - all ok
when dave sends me an SMS the sms app doesnt recognize him as one of my contacts and the only thing i see is the country code and then 12345678.
i tried to add the country code to the contact and the SMS worked fine but when i get a call from him now its not recognized there and all i see on the screen is the country code and his phone number 12345678.
bottom line - its not just dave , its for 100% of my contacts.
please please help

I'D guess it's set to expect a ten digit US phone number. I think that is a property set in the build.prop. what country or locale do you want it to default to? I'm not sure I can help but I'll try...
