Caller id - LG Nitro HD

All my incoming calls are unknown. I've unbricked and tested this on cm10 and stock att GB. This is really puzzling, I've called my provider to make sure the feature is enabled.. why don't I get caller id?..... scratches head. I have also swapped out basebands v10j, v20e and v10h to see if baseband made a difference ..
I am using an unlocked bell p930 on rogers lte (cm10 running right now)... can anyone help get my caller id back ?
Thanks

Things I'd try:
1) Put your SIM in another phone and see if that phone receives correct Caller ID or not. If it doesn't, it's a network or SIM problem, not the phone.
2) Install the official Bell ICS update. Not HO!NO!'s flashable version -- install the actual update from LG that will revert everything to 100% stock. I don't know if you've already tried this.
If it still doesn't work after that, I don't have any clue what is going on.

This issue is caused by Roger's "name display". Unfortunately no roms (that I've found) for the P930 work with name display..you can either call Rogers and have them disable the name display part of your caller id...or try to code it yourself.. there's a guide available here

See I knew about cnap and actually asked rogers to shut it down. They said it wasn't possible as the value pack I was on included it. So I canceled the value pack and now pay 8 bucks for vanilla caller id and an extra 10 for some txt messages.. that's 3 bucks more than the value pack that also included voice mail, call waiting, forwarding and name display. But even with the name display removed I'm still getting unknown ..
I'm actually pretty pissed.. as a business man I need to know who is calling. At least a number so I can triage my calls.
Seriously annoyed at this. Thanks for the link, looks like ill be spending a weekend figuring this garbage out. Wtf, why is this even an issue.
Thanks again everyone..

OMG
Well, I still havent gone back to 100% stock but I have tried codenameandroid 3.4.5 and still no luck.. (this rom states it has name display enabled).. can someone else having issues with caller ID / name display confirm they have tried this new rom and are still in the same boat?

For those that care, after restoring to stock GB and still having no caller id I decided it was time to try something else. I grabbed the sim from my work phone, slapped it in my nitro HD and presto, caller id works. So I went to rogers today purchased a new sim and my issues are resolved. Name display works too ..

It's probably your account at rogers... i have no issue with bell.

Problem: If you are in a call!!! And if you recieve a second call, and try to answer, , the phone automatically will cut the signal on both lines, and will take you back to the home screen,, this is a serious bug, and all of you are removing this app(t-mobile name id app from your roms) , please do not remove this app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solution: Do not remove the tmobile name id app from your roms!!!!!!
and this msg is specially for this user: Allgamer: You delete my treats all the time, i dont know what the hell its your problem, im just trying to let everyone know about this issues, you always delete my treats and always leave me a link on the bottom( which are not from the same topic of what im talkin about) so read before deleting treats, and probably you will get more "thanks" on your xda profile'

Wah Wah...here it is.
Maybe your threads are being deleted because they're poorly written and whiney. Take 2 seconds, maybe use spellcheck, then click submit. It's not that difficult.
And as an aside, I've removed that apk from my stock rooted rom, and haven't experienced the aforementioned problem.

I do that all the time with my family and clients, and so far I don't have any problems like you described. Honestly I tried that last night with 2 different ROMS, Phantom, and Juggernaut, and no problems at all with setting somebody for hold and call somebody else.
it could possibly be a problem with the default phone.apk, and most devs just use a different apk for the dialer app, bypassing the problem. Or it's just not an issue.
we need more confirmation
because i ran a test on my own phone and it doesn't drop calls
when i call myself from a land line, and then from another cellphone or another land line i can swap between the 2 calls just fine
to me it sounds more like a reception problem, or user error, cancelling the calls by accident?
It happened with me, so i installed CWM and rooted the phone. Still on stock ROM i removed a bunch of T-Mobile apps including Name ID. After one of the members posted this issue here and i tested and got the same result. Finally after installing the Name ID app i was able to do multi calling. So i do not know why this is not same for everyone.

this only happens when you remove the caller id.apk from the system,also most of the roms dont have this app included so for somenof us installing a new rom its uselesss. even if yoy flsh the zip founded under development(bloafreee) you will get the same issue
The claim you make in this thread is so far off base. The apk your talking about is bloatware and is no way needed to make the phone operate correctly. As I said when you suggested this in the rom thread, I've never had this problem. And as far as I can tell neither has anyone but you.
Sounds like your device is to blame

[BUG]&[FIX] Can not Add Call or Create Conference call, or put call on Hold on T989
Hello,
I am unable to make 2 calls at the same time or a conference call. Everytime I try this I get android.acore.phone force closed. I have tried with Roman's kernel and stock rooted rom and with beastmnod 2.1. I want to find out if this is a software issue or issue with my device.
Can anyone try this and post results? Thanks,
install the Telus based kernel
Tmo based kernels seems to require that annoying ID App from Tmo before it lets you do it.
basically they are trying to sell you another "feature"

That is strange, because I'm using the stock kernel with Phantom ROM and I'm able to do conference calls.
my information is based of 3 guys that has been complaining about dropped calls when trying to do 3 way or putting another caller on hold
all 3 of those topics suggest it's that Tmo ID application, so take it with a grain of salt, it might or might not be correct
personally i have no problem with 2 callers, but i've not yet tried conferencing calling
i'm on Juggernaut 2
in that case the work around is to install a widget
i'll suggest Widgetsoid 2 from Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2

Good point. Hmm I could test it without Tmo sim but the other ATT sim I have is only for data and does not have any minutes. Also, I got my phone for full retail but that does not seem to make any difference. AllGamer do you have yours SIM unlocked? (Must be since you are using a different SIM I assume).
thanks.

i had a dropped call when i was on the phone with someone and tried to switch over to another call...when it happened, i had a couple of people call my phone and i tried it again...i tested it like 3 times..it works..i can switch between calls and merge them..maybe the first time was just an isolated incident for me

Dropped calls in conferance calling? After installing roms/root? Solution here!!!
download the attached below is the name id.apk for t-mobile.....
INSTALL IT ON YOUR GS2 AND PROBLEM SOLVED!
This will solve the problem for people having issues with drop calls in a conference call/ 2 CALLS/SWAPING CALLS etc.....
Confirmed!!! This is the solution!!!
What if I'm not a T-Mobile customer? Will it make any difference? Because T-Mobile Name ID is just going to check back with T-Mobile and find out I'm not their customer and do nothing afterwards, right?

i'm on Wind and i'm not having issues
where is that file supposed to be stored? under normal apps? or is it a system app? i have had the problem once..i just want to check if i already have it installed as to avoid it happening again
---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------
i just installed it, i guess i didnt have it as it didnt prompt me about overwriting or replacing it...i just opened it and it said "tmobile name id is unable to contact the server" does that mean its not working?
nevermind..i got it to connect...its a paid service? lol...do i really need to have this on my phone to ensure that call waiting and 3 way calling works? this is stupid
so i installed it, rebooted..i just got a call from my friend...it listed his location and #...so im guessing its the app kicking in? its actually pretty cool..i dont recall it giving me that information before i installed the app...i never agreed to paying the $3/mo fee...how is it still working?
Actually don't have that issue t-mobile puts it under change services as t-mobile name id free trial I told them to remove that because I don't want to be charged for something I don't use.

What is the actual name of the NameId apk? I know it is on here for download, but the named download is not the original naming. I am trying to pull from stock backup so I can drop into system folder to test a couple of other issues. As for the 3way/merge issue. Without the name id app, I get some failures, and some successes.
Anyway, if someone know the actual name of the app I would appreciate it.

[Q] Bell Canada ICS Leaked getting Unknown caller

Hi,
I flashed the ICS Leaked ROM on Bell Canada P930 and getting Unknown caller for every incoming call... Anyone know why and the solution...
Im getting the same problem too with Nitrogen Reloaded 1.03 Rom by Andasa. I've restored back the Bell GB rom and the call display is fine... I think I'll wait until the issue is resolved before moving back to an ICS ROM.
How to flash bell gb? Please help me

[Q] text messages send fail after OTA

***If your having similar issues, please call sprint to make them aware of the issue.****
Anyways, can any one help me. I updated to jelly bean OTA, and since then my LGOG does not like to send text messages out. My phone will not send messages shorter than 10-20 characters. Im in the CHICAGO area. No problem receiving them, just more often then not i get a failed sent. I have tried resetting the phone hard/soft. I took my phone into sprint and they said I need a new phone. Wtf! Anyone have this issue, or have any ideas to resolve this?
Im pretty disapointed right now, the phone was flawless before the update! Never had a single problem before. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE.. In conclusion,if anyone is interested, I believe the new jellybean update just doesn't play well with my towers in my area of Chicago. With the jelly bean update my voice signal was excellent, but the data signal was degraded. I always noticed, with ics while 4glte was connected, the voice signal was less. With jelly bean it seemed to be just the opposite at all times, great voice so so data connection. Only if i could have both and jellybean wtf?? Maybe someone could help me on here and explain a radio/jelly combo i would have best of both worlds.
Seems to be a Chicago issue.
**Either way I aquired LGNPST and original TOT file and reflashed the phone with original software and have not accepted the jellybean update for now.**
If you would like me to host the files needed PM me, I'll send you links.
I suposed I could have tried to reflash ZV9/ICS or ZV9 radios, but I bricked the phone before trying that.
I must have got the best phone out there. I've never had a problem with any software version we've had.

I have not tried the ## but ill give it a shot. Sprint may have done that.
More on this issue, it seems just not to send short messages. Like lol, no, yes anything shorter than a sentence. I have noticed tht long texts send fine, and picture text seem lightning fast. Whch is great, but cant respond to someone with a simple yes or no. Wtf
I have also noticed a bigger delay between automatic switching between 3g and 4g. Before the update the switching was seamless.
I have also rooted and reflased the ota, same issue. I did not flash the radios seperate tho.
The ## did not fix my text issue. Sprint store did do this as well.
Still have this same issue anyone figure anything out? Anyone have anymore suggestions i can try? Sprint does something on their end, and restore the phone with ## and it works for an hour, then back to the same issue.
Peteyo, are you in Chicago? Maybe it's it's a network issue. I'm having the same problem and so is my buddy. I can't believe more people aren't coming forward with this if it's a national thing.
But let me know if you find a fix, and I'll do the same. And you're right, it only happens on short messages!
Im in Chicago and having the same issues, even with other messenger apps that use stock mms, I also use whats app and have no issues. They seem to be random some send and some don't. If there is a fix please post it is a pain .

***If you have this issue please call sprint, so they are aware of issue****
I have chalked it up to LG sucking! or I supose it could be sprint. The JB update they pushed changes the way the phone communicates with the towers. I grabbed bits and pieces from other threads with data problems and came to that conclusion. It doesn't appear to make issues with everyone, or have the same problems.
What i did, and what maybe the easiest is to reflash the phone back to its original form out of the box. Also im not accepting the ZVB/jelly bean update that messed up our phones. To return to original state, u must aquire LGSNPT, and Sprint`s original tot file. You can find these two in the developer sections. Its really easy and painless and get you right back where u need to be. The toughest part is putting your phone into download mode. vol+ vol- and power buttons.
Make sure u back up your pictures/things you may want to keep.
Option 2 you can **** around and try to find an ICS file, root your phone, and flash it back to ics. Or better yet root and flash ZV9 radios.
However im not sure if these will work. I have not been able to find ZV9 radios.
Option 3 if you have insurance get a new reman phone, or if no insurance pay sprint 50bucks for a reman phone. But you will still have the same issue if you update to ZVB/jellybean.
I wish I new more about this stuff and make a custom radio that has the voice improvements from ZVB/Jellybean, and the data from ICS/ZV9. Probably not even possible.

The strange part of all of this is that my text messages will always send if they are greater than about 10 to 20 characters. Anything smaller than that amount will give me a send failure. Has anyone else had that experience?
Data and Cell Reception have been stellar for myself since the update -- I believe I was having the texting issues before OTA (though I wasn't rooted at that point)

Don't you feel a greater level of sophistication when you have to type an entire sentence?
I'm sure it's Sprint trying to cut down on their SMS costs, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Funny! I guess I should have just added a bunch of quick messages that are complete sentences for a yes or no answers. And the lesser 4g reception does slow down my midget porn downloading. Maybe it really is a win win...

It has not been fixed yet, and I'm starting to believe it may never unless people start complaining more. I strongly encourage people to call sprint support often regarding this, if you would like to see it fixed. I have opened a couple cases with Sprint business support (corporate account here).

Will do. Thanks for the quick reply:thumbup:

Guess I'm stuck with a paperweight... PLEASE HELP!!!!

It all started last night, my phone no longer connects to the Sprint network. When I try to make calls I get this error "The number or code you entered is incorrect" when someone calls me they get the same error. I have flashed a stock image through odin and its back on ICS but I get a SIM card error and the phone refuses to connect to Data. I am at a loss on what could have caused this but my phone is useless at this time and I am pretty pissed. My phone worked great no problem until I attempted to use Google Voice and that is when I lost Data and Voice function. I have removed my phone number from google, disabled GV and even changed my phone number but the problem still exists. If someone could shed some light on my problem I would greatly appreciate it!
PS: Sprint claims its a tower issue but my other devices work just fine.
Try ##72786# in the dialer. It'll force the phone to reactive everything

PS: Sprint claims its a tower issue but my other devices work just fine.

How is being rooted going to fix this?
I have gone 100% stock all the way to ICS. I then rooted, updated to MD4 including the radios and firmware. I have data now but still no calls or texting. I have edited the MDN and forced reactivation. They guy last night said it was a tower issue but I'm now 35 miles away and I highly doubt the same problem exists here. My girlfriends phone works no problems at all. It has to be an account issue but no one at Sprint cares to help...

Update prl And profile. Or try changing your network to cdma only reboot then switch to cdma / lte.

I don't see the prl/profile update fixing it as the dialer trick shouldve covered that. The other suggestion above might help tho. I'm also thinking maybe dialing *720 and *730 to make sure gv is all the way diabled.
Just get this when I make calls... "The number or code you dialed is incorrect, message 7 switch 180."

Have you ever changed your number on sprint b4? Maybe it's a glitch on their end due to the number change just not settling in yet
I did about 2 years ago... all I can do is wait til they ooen and give them a call. I had to bring my girlfriends phone to work with me so I can check in with the office. Guess ill give them a ring in a few. Its just odd that data works without an issue. ..

If your data is working fine then I have to call it their issue for sure. Which would make sense as data could be working based off of account info rather than your number. Where as if you make a call your actual # comes into play. Could be wrong here just a theory. But best of luck I'll post if I think of something else but I bet u this fixes itself
Ill keep ya posted, thanks for your help.

Well I just got an automatic profike update and now it works... Only issue now is I get the profile update popup every 5-10min.

Glad it's working and for future reference I found this looking on sprints site.
"Looking at the tower nearest you it appears to be performing properly When a tower goes down you will not hear any error message.* The message* is a function of the switch where the wireless system connects to the wire system.** Do you get the message with every number you call or just some numbers?* Can you call (888)-546-0314* That is a sprint test number."
