Incoming calls on lg optimus 7 show unknown - Windows Phone 7 General

Hi guys,
Im loving my optimus 7 but only quirk I have with it is that when I get incoming calls it always shows as unknown. Does anyone know how this can be fixed. BTW its unlocked..
Thanks

You need to have your network provider switch your caller id to caller id WITHOUT (as opposed to with) name display. Probably.

But all my other phones have always shown caller id

Checkout your "people", if there is some unnamed contact with the phone number.

No all my contacts have a name. However the unknow # seems to pop only for cellphone lines not landlines

it could be your location. some locations only need 7 digits to identify, where as windows phone uses 8. (or vice versa, i can't remember). others have used a registry hack to fix this issue.

Caller Id Contacts Only

In the phone setting - Services - Caller Id is an option to send id "Only to Contacts" instead of everyone or no one. It isn't working with the official AT&T WM6. Actually I'm not sure it ever worked. Anyone have an luck getting it to work? It would be great.

That is for outgoing caller id (ie, only reveal your caller id to people in your contact list). Is that what you tested to determine it wasn't working?

This is not similar to picture caller ID or any 3rd party apps. This service is provided by your Network Operator. If you're subscribed to it then you will have the capability to reveal or not to reveal your ID to your receivers by sending the command to your Network Operator.
yes.. its not caller id picture. its to enable the reveal of our phone number to the caller or not. i am using it but everytime i call the function is not working.

Are you subscribed to the CLIR service?
AFAIK, Celcom only gives you 2 options when subcribed to it. 'To show' or 'Not to show'. There's no selective show.
Yes, I actually understand how it is supposed to work and have tested it by calling both contacts and numbers not in my contacts.
Send my Caller Id to everyone or no one works. The option to send to contacts only shows as an option when downloaded from the network and worked on an older phone. I am not sure it ever worked on the 8525 but it isn't working now even though tech support at HTC and At&t says it should. They blame it on unofficial upgrades to software.
I'll test it again on the next build from At&t which I hear is in the kitchen now.

[REQ] [BOUNTY] App for saving Caller ID non contacts name display

Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a fix for SGS i9000 for Rogers/Fido name display. I get the name correctly on my phone while the number is ringing, however, when I answer or don't pickup the call, I just get the number.
Thank you
i don't follow...
when i miss i call i get the normal SMS from 8888 telling me that i missed a call from such and such from the phone number that phoned me
and in the phone call log, i see the little red arrow that i missed a call with the name and phone number of the contact
if it was not a contact then it just shows the phone number (which is normal of all previous cell phones i've used)
so... what exactly is not working for you?
I don't have that feature that would send me an SMS with the name and number. I just have a "Name Display and Caller number" feature. On FIDO supported phones any person that calls, even if that person is not in the contact list, his/her name would display. On my phone, SGS i9000M, Name Display works only while the phone is ringing....

that is correct
this is how it works normally on any cell phone that i've had with Fido
only displays the name when it's ringing
it doesn't save the name, it never did for any of my previous cell phones
that's only for people that are not on your contact list
And I guess the question was if there is a way to have the name not only the number in the call log after the call is completed. Is there a fix for this? Thx
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
well there is nothing to FIX because it's not broken
the "Advanced Caller ID" the one that shows you the callers name even though it is not in your contact list, is a network feature
not a phone feature
the build in phone feature will match the caller ID from the network provided number to your contact list then show you the caller name, if it's not in your contact list you will just get the number
that is standard on all phones with caller ID
the trick that the network uses, is that they tag the name of the person calling you along the caller ID number
older phones wouldn't even display the name
newer phones will show the name, but not be able to do anything with it, it just displays it that's all
the build in software on most phones are only designed to save the caller ID number, no extra stuff tagging along.
translation you will need a Developer to come up with a new software to be able to save both the caller ID + the extra strings attached
Just to confirm my old nokia n97 did save the name in missed calls.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
I see what you mean, on some phones when someone calls you and you do not have the persons contact saved the following happens:
1. Name is displayed along with the number while ringing.
2. When you look up the phone log the name is in there and when you save the contact it already has the name typed in for you.
On the Galaxy S number 2 does not happen. I dont know how to change it to make it work however, I am interested.
A new software will be required to do that, none of my previous phone had that feature
time to hire an android developer to make and app to do that
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
I have the same features with Fido and i found it to be annoying that it wouldnt show the callers name(not on my contacts) in missed calls. If its important they can call again lol.
Off-Topic:
I am about to purchase the Captivate from Rogers(finally its out...) but im with Fido, what im wondering is it possible to unlock the phone with the unlock/unfreeze guide located in the dev section. I just dont want to create a new thread for one question
PS. It didnt allow me to post the link to the guide because i just joined, sorry for the trouble lol.
I would appreciate if someone can post a fix for this issue. I'll throw in some money for a fix
Me too!

super caller ID is only good if you have an active data or WIFI connection
My bro has a Acer Liquid from Fido and caller id from non-contact sticks in log.
Come on Samsung or XDA!!!

[Q] Rogers CNAP (Name Display) on Galaxy Nexus

Does anyone on Rogers have name display (not caller ID, but name display) working on a Galaxy Nexus?
If so, what build are you on?
Thanks.
EDIT: Call forwarding works fine -- it was a user error on my part. Original post modified.
Did you end up figuring it out on how to make it work? I really need this feature?

Neither CNAP nor call-forwarding seem to work on my device, and no one has answered my post. I will try asking in this thread.
EDIT: Figured out the call-forwarding issue. It was related to Rogers One Number. If you use One Number, you cannot use the phone's forwarding menu.
Here is what i was able to figure out But im a noob.
Cyanogenmod has an ICS update review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11168 (im new user it doesnt let me post link) that enables the name display.
I beleive name display was incorporated into the Nexus S rom *Ultimate ICS v 3.0" so i was trying to figure out how to make that just an update to add a name display on the stock rom. Maybe you can help?

I'm not much of a coder, but hopefully someone can helps us out!
I installed and CNAP is working on [ROM][AOSP][4.0.3] Codename Android 1.1.4.
To make sure it saves in call log you have to use dialer one or simillar app from the market.

That's great to hear! However, I would still like someone to either explain to me what changes I need to make to a stock ROM to get this to work, or create a flashable zip that I could look at.
Anyone?
Question for the op. Where did you get your Galaxy Nexus? I know Rogers just received some maybe their model will work with Name display. I also have the service on my account , but still didn't get a call from someone not on my contact list... I will post here with my results!

I bought it from Virgin, but all they are all the same (Rogers, Bell, Telus, Virgin), both from a hardware perspective, as well as a software perspective.
I doubt it will work on your device if it is stock.
I disabled Name Display on my account when I had the ATRIX 4G because it would show every incoming call as PAY PHONE but I re-added it a couple of weeks ago and I haven't had any problems. It doesn't display the name of the caller however, just the number.

Then it is not working. That is Caller ID / Call Display. Name display is something completely different.
Caller ID (or Call Display): The network will display the phone number of phone calling you (unless it is a private number). Your phone will display the name of the individual if the number calling is stored in your contacts.
Name display (or CNAP): The network will display the phone number of the phone calling (unless it is a private number), as well as the name associated to that number, regardless of whether or not the information is stored in your contacts. It is network-driven, but your device needs support for it.

I initially bought Virgin Gnex but name display didnt work so i sold it. Then i got it from Fido and name display didnt work, but i kept it and figured it out.
I beleive to make it work the file Gsmconnection.java as per my previous post has to be modified. However since im not that great of a coder i wouldnt be able to figure out how to do it.
If any coders could do a quick mod to enable cnap on Galaxy nexus - then it would be beneficial for everyone.
Another issue i see is the call log. Stock call log is not storing the name display in it. You can download dialer one and it will store the numbers. But it is glitching. Sometimes it just looses the name in call log and sometimes it keeps it. I have no idea why it acts like that. But i think its related to the stock call log because everytime i start it - it erases the "name id" stored on Dialer One.
Mine is also from bell but I'm using it on Rogers... I don't know nothing about rooting or anything so this is bad news for me! Name display works great on my bold 9900 and on my iPhone 4s, I would also like it to work on my Gnex !
Regardless it's still a killer device!

So would you need to subscribe to CNAP to receive? Or would you still need to subscribe to Caller ID? I would love to drop the $8/month charge I pay for caller ID.

[Q] T-Mobile caller id?

Is anyone having issues with their S III not displaying caller id on T-mobile?
After the bloatware subscription T Mobile Caller Id ran out it seems like most calls I receive now show no caller id info. I wonder if this a problem tied to that app, or something different.
Caller ID as in someone that's not on your contacts? Cause, that's a service you have to subscribe to I think. Otherwise...all my Gmail contacts show up when they call.
Called ID should be working fine but I believe you only get 7 days for free, I got rid of it cause I feel the app is just wasting my battery

Even if it is someone in my contacts, it still says unknown.

My caller id worked 2 times tops during my 7 day trial. One came with the name and the other unknown. Do I want to subscribe? That's a no brainer.
Sent from my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 16gb Pebble Blue running Stock ROM
I'm running a rooted (mostly stock) rom and the tmobile subscription caller id is not there as an option on my phone. Therefore, I have never set it up. I have, however, noticed half a dozen people or so that are in my contacts that still show up as unknown when they call. If I call them once from my phone, it appears that my phone recognizes them the next time they call. What a pain. I've heard of several people having the same or similar issues. Hope they patch this stupid bug.
NO CID on T-Mobile
Caller ID stopped for me yesterday. I am not talking about the bloatware CID w/subscription. My work cell that is most definitely in my address book, is showing as "Unknown." Strange thing about this is that while on WiFi calling, if I call my work cell 1st, it will show the contact info. Calling 1st on the cellular network does not work. I am on hold with a CSR that is really trying but no success yet. She had me pull the battery and SIM. WTF?!?!?!

fix for unknown caller id?

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..
