Caller ID Format Problems

Hello everyone, I installed RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE on my phone and it is workig great. The problem I am having is that in my country phone numbers consist of only 8 digits fotmated XXXXXXXX or XXXX-XXXX y my contacts list BUT when someone calls me his/her name does not come up, instead I get for example: (XXX)XXX-XX because the caller ID format seems to be (XXX)XXX-XXXX (expecting an area code) So I never get to se de name of the caller, instead I get a poorly readable number. How can I fix this?
TIA!

LOL, Try Moving to America, where we use these style phone numbers!

Did you try changing your Regional Settings to match the country you're in ?

Store all phone numbers in international "+" format
The key is to store all your numbers in full international format.
+CCCAANNNNNNNNNN
where CCC is the country code, AA is the area code (omiting any leading zeros in most countries) and NNNNNNNNNN is the local phone number.
For ease of use in your address book, you can space the digits out, or add parentheses or dashes, as these are ignored at dialing/matching time. It makes the numbers easier to read.
Eg. +CCC-AA-NNNNN-NNNNN, +CCC (AA) NNNNN-NNNNN would be treated the same.
All GSM phones receive the complete international designation phone numbers on incoming calls - so it will match on the full number always.
Based on your SIM, and your country's dialing rules built into the SIM, it will also match on numbers that have no country code, but have a complete local area code (including leading zero if appropriate) and complete number. This is to allow it to match on non mobile phone originated calls. I believe it will assume your local country code based on your SIM, and apply the appropriate zero stripping rules to the received caller ID to create a fully qualified international number to match on.
This also takes all the guess work out of making calls should you ever roam into another country. For example, if you live in the USA and store a number for Ireland as 01135312345678 - this will work from the USA. But, if you travel to Ireland, where the international access code is not 011 - but rather 00 - that number will fail. Storing the numbers with the "+" prefix instead of the local international access prefix allows the SIM card to do the work. The SIM card registers on the roaming provider's nerwork, and "asks" that network how to dial a "+".
Finally, the presentation of the number on screen is just a factor of the application that is displaying it. If you use the international format for your numbers, they will successfully match, and will display the number in the format in which you have stored them in your address book. If they don't match, they will display using the default number interpreting logic of whatever ROM you have loaded. For most of us here, that would be the Brighpoint USA ROM or the T-Mobile ROM - both of which try to format numbers as USA style AAA-XXX-NNNN
Hope this helps

Thank you, I entered +COUNTRY_CODE in the phone settings call options and it is working now.
Thanks a lot!!

Program for Auto Dial the Operator code when Roaming

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if there is a way to automatic add the operator code and code area for a existing contat when I'm roaming??
I'm from Brasil and everytime I'm roaming I have to dial a operator code and the code area for a number - example
If I'm home the number will be like this: XXXX-XXXX
If I'm roaming I have to add Operator Code (two number) + Area Code ( two number) + number - all precided by zero - so it will be like this: 0 (XX) (XX) XXXX-XXXX
The HTC Touch don't let me to add this numbers before dialling, so it's very annoyng...
Is there a way to do it automactilly????
Thanks ( sorry for my poor english)

[Q] How to stop Dinc from dialing international prefixes?

I've searched the forums and can't find any other reference to this problem, though I did find mention of it on a Google forum, but there were not posted suggestions.
I have a Dinc on stock 2.2, rooted and Urevoked Forever and I'm in the U.S. I also use Touchdown to manage my contacts. I could not get the stock calendar to stop creating multiple copies of events in my Exchange calendar so I just switched to using Touchdown for all my Exchange syncing.
It seems that whenever I try to call numbers that have pauses or waits in the dialing string (conference call numbers, work voice mail, etc.) my Dinc adds 011 to those numbers. Since I don't have an international calling plan I just get a message from Verizon telling me that it can't complete the call. Of course, I can manually dial the numbers just fine, but any attempt to dial one of these numbers from the interface (People, Speed Dial, Touchdown) gives me this same result.
The numbers themselves do NOT have +, 1 or 011 in the string - just area code and phone number. It doesn't seem to matter if the area code is in parentheses or not. I have "Assisted Dialing" turned off in settings.
Any thoughts on why this happening and how I can stop it?

There are options in the menu under calling that it sounds like you have checked. If you go to your dialer and press menu there should be a preferences option that shows and somehow you got the add prefixes box checked. I hope thats all it is and if that doesn't work please post what OS you are using so I can guide you through the menu selections.

Here are my specs:
- HTC Droid Incredible
- Android 2.2 (stock, with HTC Sense)
- Baseband 2.15.00.07.28
- Kernel 2.6.32.15-gb7b01d1
[email protected] #1
- Build 3.21.605.1
- Software # 3.21.605.1
- Rooted and S-off with Unrevoked
Here are the settings I have found that seem relevant:
Under Main Settings >> Call
- NBPCD
- currently set to "United States of America (310)"
- also has one entry for International Direct Dialing Codes, "011"
- Assisted Dialing
- I have un-checked the "Enable Assisted Dialing" checkbox
If I go to the dialer, hit "Menu" and select "Phone Settings" I only have 3 options, none of which seem relevant:
- Edit default message
- Edit message
- Save to contacts

Weird behavior in Galaxy Nexus dialer

People, here's the thing.
Here in Brazil, when a call is received, the caller number is sent to the phone in this format:
0 + area code (two digits) + caller number (eight digits)
For example, 0219236XXXX
My Galaxy Nexus gets this number and shows it in this format:
(21)9236-XXXX
This is one of the brazilian ways to present a phone number here, "(" + area code with two digits+ ")" + four digits + "-" + four digits. There are others, for example without the parenthesis (like this: 21 9236-XXXX).
The problem is that when I enter the call log to return a call, if I return it from an incoming call register, it works fine. But if I return it from an outgoing call register, the call is not complete because the number is not recognized.
It's hard to explain, I'll try to illustrate with steps.
- I receive a call from 0219236XXXX
- My Galaxy Nexus call log shows:
(21)9236-XXXX "call received" (a small blue arrow pointing down left)
- I enter call log and press that "call received" register
- The phone dials (21)9236-XXXX and the call is completed
- My Galaxy Nexus call log now shows:
(21)9236-XXXX "call made" (a green blue arrow pointing up right)
(21)9236-XXXX "call received" (a small blue arrow pointing down left)
- I enter call log and press the "call made" register
- The phone dials (21)9236-XXXX and the number is not recognized.
- But if I press the "call received" register, the number is recognized and the call is completed.
See what I mean? I guess that in an incoming call, the first '0' (zero) is there, but it's hidden. So when I dial from the incoming call register, although the number is shown (21)9236-XXXX, the dialed number is 0219236XXXX, which is a correct number to the network.
But when I dial from the outgoing call register, the number is shown (21)9236-XXXX and the dialed number is 219236XXXX. The '0' (zero) is discarded. Because of that missing '0' (zero), the number is not recognized by the network.
I don't know if this is a problem only with brazilian phone number format, or if it happens in other countries also.
Is there a way to fix this? Because of it, most of the times I have to edit the number before calling it.

Bump!
Anyone?

i don't know about in brazil,
here in uk, it works with no problem. it even tell you where the area of the number is from.
for example i just received a unknown insurrance call from
01515246303
it show in the call log
0151 524 6303
Liverpool
and i can dial back with no problem.

Have you tried dialing back from the outgoing call register?

yes, it dials with the 0 with it.

I have the same problem, nexus in Vivo carrier, everytime i try to dial last call it wont recognize the number, then i have to edit the number, its really annoying.

Yes i have a similar problem
Here is what i have noticed
Im in oman, country code +968, when im in my home country and dial a call to uae, +971 567 897070, the dialer shows 056 7897070.
What i think happens is as follows,
Since the location setting if english uk, the phone formats the numbers as per uk formatting. They use 10 digits as their numbers.
The ics reads and displays numbers in UK first every where. Im ginger bread, that formatting used to happen only while entering the phone number in the dialer, but it would read and display more than 10 digits while on the same UK setting.
My advice for the brazilian numbers, is change ur location to uk from usa if you are using english.
I hope they fix this bug

what does it means when i typed some code in and it said, " unexpected data value"?

Probably what is sounds like...you did something unexpected... ie.. the result was unexpected...
Its probably a generic error that is trying to say "I don't know what you did but stop that"

You should not need to press dial to input the code. Mostly likely the code tried is not supported by the handset. That is a very generic list of Nokia codes, some will work and others will not.

I thought ##634# installed the Diag app. ##DATA# Just gives you cell info and tests.

Subscribed. Curious to see where this goes. Some of those codes look interesting and makes me wonder if there are any others

A lot of these don't work on ATT Lumia 900

So how do you get the "*" to work? Long pressed and typed in various ways.
