Note 2 problem - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My note 2 gt n7100 doesnt display the name of the contact number or the unsaved number during the incoming call. Instead it just displays Unknown number calling. I have Vodafone as my service provider

maybe its carrier related problem I think they didnt activated ur caller id service. give them a call.

Did you recently flash your phone? This is a pretty common problem after flashing. Do some searching and you'll find the solution.
If you haven't flashed your phone recently, well, I'd still search and follow the instructions because it sounds exactly like the same problem.

Hi,
Are you experiencing double contacts?

No its not block any where. Yesterday it was displaying as normal. All of a sudden im facing it. I even googled it but no luck with it. Have seen some post with same issue but couldn't figure out a solution.
Can someone please help me. I have already missed lots of calls because of this issue.
Has some one found any fix for it. Please help me. I have missed lots of important calls because of this issue. Or i will hv to switch back to Windows mobile back.
While Incoming i dont see any number nor any name despite it being stored in my contact details. Instead I see "Unknown" and the number is not even retained in call history. It only says "Unknown"

[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.

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?!?!?!

Unable to send international SMS.

Hi all. I'm unable to send international SMS from my GNexus. My carrier says my settings are fine and no blocks against my account. Funny thing is that when I use the same sim card in a blackberry I can send international messages fine. The carrier did suggest I enter SMSC settings but the guide they gave me doesn't correspond with the GNexus menus. Can anyone help?

At the risk of stating the obvious, check that you have the correct number. Make sure you dial the "+", then the two digit country code, then the local number (usually without the 0 at the beginning.)
Can you receive international SMS? If so, reply to the same number.

Google Voice + Stock Dialer Integration

Has anyone noticed that Google Voice no longer integrates into the stock Samsung dialer app? Basically the problem is, if I use Google Voice for an outgoing call, the number that shows up in the call log is the Google Voice proxy phone center, not the actual number I'm dialing. It also shows the proxy phone center number on the screen while the call is ongoing. On the original Note (which now runs ICS), the stock Samsung dialer seems to work as you would expect and only shows the number of the person you are actually calling.
I'm hoping there is a fix for this somewhere. I'm not sure if similar threads for the Galaxy S III that I've seen are applicable to the Note II since it is running Jellybean, and it seems like Samsung has updated the dialer app (it looks different from the ICS dialer on the original Note)
Yep, I saw that yesterday
Yes, gv on this device is def wonky but as long as it works I'm not gonna complain.
Then again I'm seeing gv is acting up on other devices as well. Is google slowly dropping support? Hasn't been updated since beginning of year I think.

Yeah I noticed it too. Here's how I'm dealing with it:
Assuming you set things correctly in the Google Voice app...
Calls - I don't call many people from my contacts anyway so every time that proxy number shows, I save that to the contact. I learned that each contact receives a specific number, so it's been working.
Texts - I downloaded an app called GV Integration. It costs $5. This app makes sure that all your texts use you google voice number going out.
Note: You may not need the integration app if you save all the proxy numbers in your contacts but I found the integration app before saving the numbers. The only annoying thing now is receiving the texts with the person's name also in the message. I hope all this gets fixed too though. This is one this Sprint has the upper hand on for every phone.
this is the same behavior on my S3 as well. not sure it's a GV thing though, cuz on my HOXL, GV stores the contact number in the log and not the bridge number.
I just refer to GV's own logs instead of the phone-dialer log. I do all texting from GV itself, and I only give out my GV number (not the native cell number) for others to text me. That way, all the texting is handled in GV, and comes for free without needing a texting plan from my carrier.
My S3 on Verizon did this initially, then started working correctly, the call log would show the number I called instead of the GV proxy number.
My AT&T Note 2 is showing the GV proxy number, which I find annoying and wrong.
Google/Samsung/AT&T: I would like my call log to show the phone number of outgoing calls when I dial with GV. Thanks
Bump
has anyone found a fix for this? This really bugs me..
same here. is google dropping GV?
This isn't an issue on the Nexus phones or the HOX. It has to have something to with the Touchwiz dialer.

Google Voice update came out today but alas the issue persists...so it must be the dialer that's the cause.

i'm using a recently released, ported JB 4.1.2 GT-N7105 ROM with the newest Google Voice app and all of my outgoing calls in the call log show the number i dialed - not the proxy/bridge number. however, i'm using the same updated GV app on my SGS3 and it still lists the proxy/bridge number in the call log. stumped.

Sounds to me like the ported JB 4.1.2 GT-N7105 rom has a different or updated dialer maybe?

Let me know if that works for you... I'm rom shopping...
The problem seems to be fixed in the recent OTA 4.1.2 update.
Is it working for anyone using Cleanrom? I'm on version 3.5 and am not seeing it. :|

[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.

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.
