unknown caller id on tilt 2

When someone calls, I noticed caller ID says unknown caller. Not sure why, but I'm using sim contacts. I also tried to switch to phone contacts. I do notice the correct ID shows up in call history, just when someone is calling then it is unknown.
has there been a fix?

Well i am facing the same issue as well with Tilt 2 and sometimes it takes 2-3 rings before the contact name shows up

Yeah many other people are experiencing the same exact problem as you. If you want to get the latest updates on that situation here is a link to an active thread about this problem.

Right now, this issue is just stuck in the HTC and AT&T tech department
Instructing you to do the same thing that does not fix it.

[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

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.

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

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!

if you guys really want this feature implemented you'll have to put up a bounty to hire a developer to make an app for that

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] Problem with Receiving/Retrieving Voicemail on GSM GNex Using AT&T

***** FIXED ***** CALLED AT&T TO RESET VOICEMAIL ***** PLEASE REMOVE THREAD *****
I am using a stock GSM GNex, unrooted, and I noticed, when I receive calls, the caller does not go to voicemail and when I attempt to check voicemail, I am told that I do not have a voicemail box. This is a new problem, because before, I had voicemail and I set it up using AT&T. When I long press the number "1" on the dial pad I get a recording that says to enter the phone number of the party you are trying to reach. I enter my phone number and it says that the number is not listed. I can receive and make calls to anyone no problem, but voicemail all of a sudden stopped working. I went into the phone settings and checked the phone number listed as my voicemail number, it is not the same as my regular phone number, so I changed it to my number and I was getting a busy signal when I tried to check my voicemail after that. Any ideas??? I don't think calling AT&T will do me any good as they think I am using a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Please help, I need to get voicemails if I don't get to the phone in time!!
Thanks

I'm not sure how to fix your problem but, have you tried google voice as your voicemail client? Maybe you can use that instead.

To be honest I want to fix the issue and I don't want to use Google Voice. When I did a search before posting this I read a lot of people were using that service, but I want to get the real problem fixed. Thanks though.

Does anyone think the problem could be because I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket as my main phone on my plan, and that phone uses visual voicemail? And somehow now the phone won't activate voicemail because of that? When I dial my number and call myself, I get a busy tone.

1) Your VM number is either incorrectly programmed into the phone, or whoever set up your account didn't provision you with the VM feature. Call your carrier, they can verify with you whether your phone is correct or it's their system. No one on XDA can't help you with a shortcut.
2) Get Google Voice. Carrier VM systems are utter crap by comparison. That is the "real" solution to your "real problem".

The voicemail number is the same as it was when I set it up the first time. BTW, using Google Voice is not the "real" solution to my "real problem". If you don't know the answer to the question or you think no one else here will, you don't have to emphasize your love of Google Voice, I just don't want to use it so I am trying to figure out how to fix it. Thank you.
Oh, and maybe you should change your user name if you hate AT&T so much.

New S3 doesn't show my name when I call people

Not sure if this is the best forum for this but need some help. I'm with Fido (Rogers) and unlike most providers, they actually show the name of the person calling on your phone, and also show your name and number when you call someone which is amazing since I use my phone for work.
I switched to them recently with my unlocked iPhone 4S and everything worked fine. I just upgraded to the Galaxy S3 from Fido but I noticed when calling my work desk phone which is a VoIP IP phone, it now just shows Unknown as the name, and then my number. I called our fax line which is a Bell Canada landline and it shows the same.
I did a live chat with Fido and they said that they don't have the ability from their end to not show the name and just show number and that nothing is blocked there and that it's a problem with the person I'm calling. I checked our Bell and voIP call logs and both show Unknown as the name. Bell confirmed as well no name is being sent. So she said it's probably a setting on the phone.
I put the SIM into my iPhone again and made a call and as expected my name immediately showed on the caller ID, so it's 100% the S3.
I've only had it a few days so I'm not sure if it ever worked. The only thing I ever changed was the other day I did want to block my number, so I went to phone settings, then additional settings, and then to Caller ID and changed it to "Hide number". When I was done I put it back to what I'm pretty sure it was on before which is "Network default", but I've also tried the only other option "Show number" and they all do the same thing just saying Unknown for the name.
Posted in a few other android forums but no one is replying, I assume because most cell providers don't show the name of who is calling on outbound calls, but it's definitely the galaxy that's blocking it. Not sure if this is normal, or if another ROM would help but I like the stock Galaxy interface so hate to change anything but I really need it to show my name on outbound calls since that's why I left my current provider.
Thanks so much.

What version/firmware are you running? It could be a bug with it. Network default and Show number should both work.

It's whatever came with it. Says 4.1.1 and baseband I747MVLDLK kernel version 3.0.31538866. It says the latest software is installed. How would I reset it like do I do factory data reset or would that be enough?

It's something you can try but first I would make a nandroid backup in recovery.

[Q] Incoming caller id issue

I just switched from a Galaxy S3 to a Galaxy S4 and am having issues with incoming caller id. On the S3, if the number was not in my contacts, it would show up as whatever state the number is assigned to. On my new S4, it shows the number only.
The other difference I notice between the two is the display of the CID. On the S3 it's xxx-xxx-xxxx on the S4 it's xxx xxx-xxxx.
I'm using the same phone provider for both phones. In searching some of the forums, it also looks like you can get name associated to the ICID? If so, does anyone have any idea how so make that work for T-Mobile?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Tmobile caller id works fine for me. Are you paying for the service? Are you on a custom rom?

Here's a similar thread on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425249&

Let me clarify - the incoming caller id works. However, with the S3 it would show what STATE the phone number is registered to whereas the S4 only shows the number and no state (if the number is not in my contacts).
I'm running stock ROM.

That's just how the S4 work.

If I rooted it and put a custom ROM on it would it restore that capability as my S3 had?

This feature works on my wife's S4 on T-Mo. I've traced down the caller id displaying the state to an app called T-Mobile Name ID. My phone (HTC One) doesn't display the state either when someone calls, but it works on another HTC One that's also on T-Mobile. The difference is that Name ID app - on my phone it says it can't contact the server, whereas on the other phones the app works fine. I haven't been able to figure out why that app isn't working on mine tho... there doesn't seem to be a way to configure it or anything.

Name ID is a paid service, $3.99/mo. When I first got the GS4 and a 10 days free trial or something like that, it work but after the trial period was over it was just regular caller ID.

From what I've seen on the phones I've tested it with, even after the trial is over it will continue to give you the state from where they're calling. The paid service is for all the other info, like the name/company. When the Name ID app is disabled or non-functional, the phone doesn't give any information except for the number.
