No name when contact calls?

I am going nuts over a minor issue that I am having. When I receive calls from my contacts their names do not show up only the number. Since I do a lot of traveling I use the international prefix for all my contacts. When I remove this and just have the number and not the international code then the name shows up when I receive a call.
Any idea anyone
Cheers,
Halldor

Try putting + instead of the 00 or other prefixes.

Yeah,
I have all numbers saved in international format too!
Sample US:
Mr. Brown has area code 215, phone# 1234567 - the correct international format for this number would be: +12151234567
Sample Germany:
Your friend has a German area code of 089 and phone# 1234567 - the correct international format would be: +49891234567
(on most area codes in Europe you ignore the "0" in the beginning)
Regardless where you are, within the US or elsewhere - you can call your contacts without making any changes when using international format! However, some of the phone providers (especially internet phone companies and calling card companies) covert numbers to a non-standard format and in that caseyou will see only the number on the phone display because of it is not identically to what you saved in your contacts! But this is really rare ... !

I had this random issue while I was using some version of AEBPlus.
Not using it now and problem dissapeard.

I use the + on all my numbers and I am not using any additional software except for PocketCM and I also removed this program and did a SR but still the same problem. Maybe it is the ROM I just flashed?

Might be it is the ROM but I doubt that! Did you get the contacts before flashing correctly on your device?
How (what format) does the number appear on your phone screen when you get an incomming call?
When you dial a contact and call him: do you have his name or his number in the display? (if second I would agree it is the ROM!)

ID dealear doesn't appear

When I receive calls the dealer name doesn't appear, just the telephone number.
I am absolute sure that I don't have the same number with two different names in my list of contacts.
How can I solve this problem?

Is there Maybe a Country ID at the front of the submitted phone number which you don't have in your Contactlist, or maybe the other way round?

Hi
Are you using a customised ROM. If so you can try changing the amount of digits that the caller ID recognises in the Advanced settings.
Depending on what ROM you are using this can be in different places. But of the ones i have used it will be in either Start>Settings>System, or Start>Programs>PDA Settings

Caller ID Format Problems

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!!

Quick questions concerning Schap's Rom

Evening guys and gals,
Just flashed my Imate Jasjam to Schap's wonderful Rom (lite) version and LOVING it, just had a few quick questions:
1. As an Australian resident, when people call from home lines/mobiles - the Caller ID is obviously setup for Americans - ie. (075) 582 3293, however here in Australia our Caller ID is setup to be (07) 5582 3293 for example. I couldn't for the life of me see where this could be changed, any help would be sweet.
2. Is there anyway to increase the length of Ringing when someone calls? Or is that simply up to your Telecommunications provider and when Message Bank kicks in?
Thanks,
EG04

1. Try changing the language under Settings/System/Regional Settings
2. That's up to the service provider.

Thanks for your prompt reply mate. In response to the change in Regional Settings, it was a good idea (and one I hadn't thought of) but after changing them, and applying a Soft Rest, still didn't change

I can change how long my phone rings before going to voicemail by going into
Start/Settings/Phone
Click the Services tab and highight 'Call Forwarding' then click 'get settings'
I change mine to the max 30seconds with AT&T. Default is 20sec

I LOVE u MrDSL - 1 problem down, mine was on 15 seconds which was RIDICULOUS with city noise and me dancing to the Ringtone .
Still can't figure out for the life of me how to switch to Australia Caller ID rules...

Wow! I didn't you know you could do this!! This is great! And it works on my Nokia E70 (Symbian) phone, as well. Thanks.

You could always force it to display however you want just by editing your contacts in Outlook. Instead of (041) 8888888 just change it to (04) 18888888 or you can take out the brackets altogether. And this isn't just Schap's. It's all ROMs... maybe not the Telstra ones though they're probably preconfigured for Australia.

Re your problem with caller ID format.
Don't know if any of this helps, but a couple of things I noted.
I use S2U2 as a screen saver/locker. One of the options in this program is to modify the format of the caller ID number. Only trouble is, the only options it gives are nothing (default), US format, and full international format. Not sure what it would do on your phone, but it might be worth a play.
You can modify HKLM/Security/ColdInit/Locale to 3081 (decimal) if it's not set already.
That may change back, however when you re-boot. (See this post).

one m8 tmobile on other country

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...
