Hi,
I am using a T-Mobile HTC One M8 Lollipop bought in the US about 1.5 years ago in my home country (Israel) with local SIM.
Most of my contacts are saved with country code (+972-xx-xxxxxxx) but incoming calls are coming without country code (0xx-xxxxxxx).
So the problem is that the HTC doesn't recognize the contact that is calling.
If I save the contact without the country code it is fine, but I need to keep all my contacts with country code so this is not the solution.
The phone need to recognize a phone number according to it's last 7-9 digits.
I guess the problem is only with service providers phones used in other countries, because my old Unlocked HTC One M7 is working fine.
Looked all over the web for solution but couldn't find any.
I saw that there is a fix for windows phone in here:

I need the same fix for Lollipop.
Does anyone knows how to solve this?
Thanks!

Hi! My mom just bought a HTC Wildire S and she is very happy with it but she is having one problem with it. All her contacts are saved on her google account and linked to facebook. But when some contact calls the phone always shows Unknown.
I think the problem is that all her contacts are saved with "+354" in front of the phonenumber but when the contact calls it doesnt display the "+354" part, just the phone number. I have an Desire and my contacts are set up in the same way and work perfectly. Any ideas how I can fix this?
Its a common error. I have it on my wildfire s too. Think the problem started from android 2.3 but it happens in certain countries only. This is what HTC support told me.. The solution is either add a number twice for the same contact. Once with the country code and other one without.
You may also get a software called prefixer from the market. it will add the country code to incoming calls and the contact name will show after proper configuration.
i have a lot of phone numbers on my mobile.
i downloaded all the numbers from Gmail when i entered my gmail email and password.
now: i travel a lot so i have the important numbers installed in my mobile with my country international number and the not so important numbers with the normal phone number i use when i am in my country.
all of the numbers that starts with the phone numbers with out the country code, the name that i have put that number to will not appear but if i put it in international code the name appears with out a problem.
if i call jack for example with the international code it will appear like a normal call in the phone log, and when he calls me it will appear like a new call and will not tell me that i have called him before.
so no one has this problem?
shod i factory reset the phone?
So the problem is it doesn't match the number with a contact when they call you, unless you saved the same number with the country code?
Just a thought but is your phone set to your own region? I haven't looked at the matching code so it could be that it should simply match any number which contains the number in your contacts, regardless of country code. It could also be a match against your Local (regional setting). I don't really have this problem personally since I always enter all numbers with the country code since I also travel abroad often enough for it to be worth the effort.
EDIT: You can check the code here.
what will this code do?
i had the galaxy S with out problems, now with the galaxy nexus when i look at the call log, some times you can see the name some times no.
HI all
im having a problem on my m8 tmobile.
i got it in the US and im using it in another country - all works good except one thing.
lets say i have a contact saved in my address book as DAVE and his phone number is 12345678
when Dave calls me i see his name on the screen - all ok
when dave sends me an SMS the sms app doesnt recognize him as one of my contacts and the only thing i see is the country code and then 12345678.
i tried to add the country code to the contact and the SMS worked fine but when i get a call from him now its not recognized there and all i see on the screen is the country code and his phone number 12345678.
bottom line - its not just dave , its for 100% of my contacts.
please please help

I'D guess it's set to expect a ten digit US phone number. I think that is a property set in the build.prop. what country or locale do you want it to default to? I'm not sure I can help but I'll try...

anyone have an idea for this problem?
i also have this
So, if I add the country code to my contacts, the calls will be show as an unregistered number. If I remove the country code, the texts will show as if coming from an unknown/unregistered number. This is very annoying.
Anyone have any idea on how to sort this out?

Indeed it is. I just wish I hadn't updated...
Nobody knows a solution for this ? I have this damn annoying thing to...
I found a work around. I ditched the stock messaging app for GO SMS Pro and the contacts appear fine. After that, I removed the country code from the contacts so that the names will appear when they call me.
same problem here. A phone number entered with a country code and the same number entered without country code are 2 different numbers according to my m8.....
Same problem...
i've installed dialer+ and the recent call list is right (in dialer+). The stock dialer is still showing it wrong.
So I guess it's a bug in the dialer. I'ts not possible to update or downgrade the dialer apk on a non rooted phone?!?
I use the hangouts for SMS and in contacts I have the number without Internacional prefix...

Hi,
I have been using Moto Z Play since 7-8 months and what I am not able to find out is incoming call information.
Let me be more descriptive,
Suppose My reporting manager is out of office and he forwarded all calls to my number. I get calls and answer it but what I can't figure is whether the client called on my manager's number or directly on my number.
I have checked with other phones (Redmi 3S Prime and one phone from Vivo) and they display the caller information and small notification as Forwarded Call.
What I am unable to figure is whether this is some feature integrated in those customized Android Versions or my carrier is not able to provide such information to my handset.
When I talked to my Network operator, they told this is Handset feature.
Location: India Carrier: Idea Cellular
If any of you have ever faced this problem or know solution, please share.
