i get the number not the name on receiving a call

i am a new user of i matepda2k some times i get the number not the name is there any solution for this problem

it means their number is not blocked and you do not have a name associated to that number in your contacts. Cell networks unlike landline CID's do not send the account name just the number.

thank u ver much for your rapid response but,
this problem is temporary ,some times occur and some times not, although i am saving those number in my contact list under specific contact name.
thank u again

It happens on my PDA2k also. Sometimes it displays the number of the incoming call and if I wait a few rings (sort of giving it time to look up the name) it then shows the name from the address book.

I had this problem when I was running M$ Voice Command.
OK after I uninstalled

Try to disable the Caller ID by moving the shortcut from the \Windows\Startup to other folder and reset.
I'm using Caller ID v1.20 and the name of the file I moved is IA_CID_StartUp.lnk. If you are using other version, the name of the shortcut may not be the same.
Hope this will work for you as it work well with my Xda IIs.

i don't have this voice command
i found 2 files which one should i disable
ia_caller_id.ink
ia_cid_startup.ink
or should i remove both?
thank u for ur help

Remove ia_caller_id.ink
You've installed both versions of caller id (1.17 and 1.20), that doesn't work...

i am still having the same problem

I'm having the exact same problem, and I had hoped there would be a solution for it here... Still none?

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 appeas

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?

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

Removing area code on BA

THis may be a newb question, and i had it set up somehow while running WM2003 but i cant seem to remove the brackets on the numbers that are calling me, so i have to redo about 400 contacts just so that i can get their name on screen while they are calling me
Example:
The phone now whenever someone is calling me it shows (697)6767676 and i want to make it 6976767676,
Help!

dont fret and worry about it...
it's just a display (it's hardcoded in Windows to show the first three in parenthesis) ... the real numbers dont have the any special chars aside from p w +, et. al.

Yes i know its only a display thingamajig, although whenever i get a call from someone it wont show me their name unless i have altered the actual number with so that it contains the brackets in the contact itself :S

None of my contacts have ( ) stored in their numbers, The format I used is +country_code number and every time someone calls me with or without the country code showing it displays the name that corresponds. Example: I have have a contact named Fred Murphy with the number +965 1234567 when he calls if I am in Kuwait it shows only as 123-4567 if I am overseas it shows as +965 123-4567 both times I see his name Fred Murphy on my screen. It has always been this way for me no matter which version of windows I have run. I was not aware that it worked any other way.

You have to choose your regional settings correctly and it will disappear.
settings > system > regional settings.

or
check for duplicate phone number entries...
even though you have the name in the sim and the phone, the phone cant decide which name to show, so our phone shows only the number.

do you have this problem in your nexus

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.
