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?

Dumbest shortcut ever, how to disable?

I'm not sure if it's only me, or everyone.
I have a Rogers s621 running on the brightpoint rom. If you start typing a contacts name from the homescreen and it starts with a letter that's within the keypad (w,e,r,s,d,f,x,c,v); and the 2nd letter is a(#).
The shortcut asks you if you want to dial that entry number from your contacts.
FOR EXAMPLE
You want to call your friend Darryl. From the homescreen you punch in D(5), A(#). Your phone will then ask you if you want to call the 5th entry in your phonebook and you have to say NO before you can continue typing darryl's name.
Maybe it's only me I don't know.

My stock with a few apps loaded Rogers 6 rom does not have that behavior.

strange, i guess it's either a bug or one of the many 3rd party apps that's controlling it.

the HTC ROM doesn't have this shortcut.
It's so dumb.

I have the new HTC rom and it does this. It's very annoying.

solution !
when this happens, it means that you have field number 5 of your sim card filled with darel's phone number.
so by field number on the sim car you can dial :
"1#" for the first number
"2#" for the second number
"3#" for the third
"49#" for the 49th number......
....
what you have to do is to copy the sim directory to the phone then you erase the sim contact list.
the you'll be able to dial darel number easyly.
Last solution : learn the begining of darel phone number, start hiting the number, you'll find the name.
sorry for my english.

I never thought of that. Guess I'm gonna erase the sim. Thanks again.

You could also try not erasing the sim, but copying contacts to the phone, then disabling the sim phonebook in settings>phone>call options. This way the sim is still backed up with all your numbers if the problem is resolved without erasing.

Tried that before i posted this thread, didn't work.
Deleted the sim contacts and everything's good now.
The weirdest thing is that this shortcut isn't even documented anywhere in the original htc manuals.

Possible to paste a number into the dialer?

For the life of me I can't figure out how to paste a phone number from say email into the dialer. I don't even see where I would paste.
Right now I copy the number, then create a contact.
There just has to be a way!

Um, even though it doesn't look like you can do it, you can. Just single quick press the number (if typed correctly, eg; 555-555-5555). If it's all together I don't think you can do it. Works for me with my MobileMe account and Gmail. When you click it, it automatically opens your caller and after that you only need to press call.
Hope that helps.

[Q] Pasting phone numbers into dialler

Hi all
Is it possible to paste a phone number from the clipboard into the DHD Sense dialler? Can't see any option for this.... so today, when someone sent me a phone number on an email, I had to memorise it and manually dial it, which is a bit daft for a phone of this stature...

Adding pause to phone number

Hello,
I been searching to figure out how to add a pause between phone number and conference ID/extension. I've tried adding a comma (,), "p", and period (.) without success. Tried by adding this to a contact's phone number - such as 555-555-1234pp123456# or 555-555-1234,,123456#, etc.
Does anyone know of a solution? Is this a limitation in Windows Phone in general or is this OEM specific?
Thanks for your help.

Add the contact using Windows Live, Outlook, or however else you can add commas and still have it sync, then it works.
ie:
mobile phone
(800) 555-8355 ,2548
Add more commas if needed.

Before you do this, read the Last Paragraph.
1. Go into your settings and then Phone Settings and write down your Voicemail number. Be sure to copy it exactly, including spaces.
2. Open Office on your phone and start a new Word Document. Type your Voicemail number exactly as you saw it.
3. Add a p after the number and then type your password. Now, highlight and copy this new number.
4. Go back to your phone settings and paste this new number including the p and password.
5. Back out and see if that worked. If you have any trouble, put the old number back into phone settings.
I'll change numbers so you don't have mine, but here's an example:
+1 (415) 497-1234p1234
This works on ATT. We also have an option to bypass password completely within the Voicemail settings menu after calling voicemail. On ATT it's option 2, then passwords, then turn off password.

Hey what i did was just type the number in a text editor and pasted to contact detail.. it worked
