After searching for days, I found a solution:
Initial problem:
Most of my contacts are stored in the following formats
xxx-xxxx
(xxx) xxx-xxxx
+1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx
If i dial a local number using this format xxx-xxxx any contact saved as another format would not be recognized. Also, If i recieved a call or sms from a contact saved as (xxx-xxxx) it would not be recognized since tha callerid from i receive is either (xxx) xxx-xxxx, 1(xxx) xxx-xxxx or +1xxxxxxxxxx.
Solution:
Edit "HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch" to the number of digits for local calls. In the US, local calls require only 7 digits. So, i set it to 7. Worked like a charm.

Works fine with the TP2

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?
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?

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:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/...s/thread/747a9ca3-e27b-4b43-bef1-c1cf532ad692
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).
problem wid htc wildfire
all incoming calls on my htc wildfire are being shown as "unknown". even the saved contacts. i'm a mess...even tried restarting the phone but nothing works. please help(m from india)
Just got the desire, great phone! Currently have an issue with the format of the telephone number when sending vCard. If I send it to my Bluetooth Car Stereo the number shows up in (I guess) a USA format e.g. 077 nnn nnnnn. This obviously causes problems for my stereo as it tries to dial the first 3 numbers, i.e. in this case 077 and obviously fails.
I sent the contact over bluetooth to my PC as a vCard and opened it up in notepad and the number is showing as 077-nnn-nnnnn. So is there anyway of changing this format to the UK format, i.e without spaces or hyphens? Can't believe there isn't as I assume sending a contact via vCard to another phone will have the same issues and you have manually remove the hyphens!
Thanks
Google phone number format = sux
I called HTC Customer Service and they have absolutely no solution to this problem. Let alone sending ALL the contacts over bluetooth to my Pioneer car stereo. The number format is Google's own... Oh crap, HTC/Google this sux big time.
Any solution would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
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...
