I've bought a BT-800, using the latest firmware (v32). It pairs with XDA, but I'm able to see neither Call ID number, nor Caller ID name. Can you help me to put this working, at least with caller ID number? Thanks
Hey folks,
I've searched the forum and Googled this issue, and I haven't seen it in quite this way, so I'm going to just ask it. And maybe this is is just a misunderstanding of how Caller ID works on the Excalibur, so please correct me if I am wrong:
My Caller ID works fine for those numbers that are in my Contact List, or course. By this, I mean I see both name and phone number. But for unknown numbers, I see just the number and no name. Which is annoying, to say the least.
I have noticed this more since I had to restore my Contacts a couple weeks ago, although I don't think that has anything to do with it. I see no Phone setting that affects this.
Okay, so the question is, is this the natural state of affairs for Caller ID in wm6.1? If the number is not in your contacts, you don't get full Caller ID? Or am I missing a setting or a registry entry or something?

How does the phone know more than the number of the caller if not in contacts???
I was thinking of the way my landline phone (yes, I still have one of those, but I may be canning it soon) gets its Caller ID information. Verizon just sends it down the line to the phone. I thought T-Mobile did the same thing, the service just sends the necessary info down the line to the phone, but I thought that was a given (Caller ID) with wireless phone service. Maybe I'm mistaken, which maybe someone could clarify for me?
Now to me, what I'm getting seems like "partial" Caller ID, the number without the name? Or maybe I'm just totally confused on it all, been a rough week...
I have yet to see Caller ID show a name on a cell phone if it's not in your contacts. Verizon included.
I didn't mean Verizon's wireless service, I meant their landline service.
Never mind, went over to T-Mobile, that's the way it's sent down, number only. Thanks.

In Canada Rogers offers this service. They call it Name Display
^^^^^^^^^^^yup dont forget fido too lol
Guys anyone know how to display number type during incoming caller id?
Example: If I have custom fields..work#1,work#2, I want to see where the person is calling me from, not just his name and number.
Hey ill just get right to it. My provider is Fido Mobility. Im using an unlocked LG Nitro HD (LG-P930). I switched to this phone after my last was destroyed.. anyways my problem is that about 80% of my incoming calls dont show their caller id (yes i have caller id set up on my plan), the name sometimes comes up as jibberish (ex. D*ʘ2ɅkɅΔT$aJ) but the number is always unknown. I tried calling Customer support but they simply said they dont have any codes or what-not to give out that would fix my problem. so I ask if anyone here can help me out..
I am now on this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259071. It is amazing but I don't like the way it shows the caller ID. Can someone help me find the Usual S3 Caller ID or even the S2 Caller ID and flash it ?
