In the phone setting - Services - Caller Id is an option to send id "Only to Contacts" instead of everyone or no one. It isn't working with the official AT&T WM6. Actually I'm not sure it ever worked. Anyone have an luck getting it to work? It would be great.

That is for outgoing caller id (ie, only reveal your caller id to people in your contact list). Is that what you tested to determine it wasn't working?

This is not similar to picture caller ID or any 3rd party apps. This service is provided by your Network Operator. If you're subscribed to it then you will have the capability to reveal or not to reveal your ID to your receivers by sending the command to your Network Operator.
yes.. its not caller id picture. its to enable the reveal of our phone number to the caller or not. i am using it but everytime i call the function is not working.

Are you subscribed to the CLIR service?
AFAIK, Celcom only gives you 2 options when subcribed to it. 'To show' or 'Not to show'. There's no selective show.
Yes, I actually understand how it is supposed to work and have tested it by calling both contacts and numbers not in my contacts.
Send my Caller Id to everyone or no one works. The option to send to contacts only shows as an option when downloaded from the network and worked on an older phone. I am not sure it ever worked on the 8525 but it isn't working now even though tech support at HTC and At&t says it should. They blame it on unofficial upgrades to software.
I'll test it again on the next build from At&t which I hear is in the kitchen now.
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!!!
Any update...any luck on this?

Anyone know why when I'm in gv app if I click add or view contact nothing happens..
Do you like using it better than sprint vm app?
Thanks

That is actually pretty weird. I have never tried to add a contact from Voice before you posted this issue. It don't work for me either.... Hmm...
As for your question as to which one is better? I have been using Voice since it was in Beta (invite only). I absolutely love it. It provides you a text transcript of your VM, which most carriers charge extra for. It also allows you to flag a VM as spam.
If you are lucky enough to have carrier integration (as I do with sprint) you can log into your VM account on line and set up custom greetings based on an individual number, or an unknown number, etc. You can also set up specific numbers that will be directed directly to VM or to just hang up with no option to leave a VM at all.
In short... I love this app.
Thanks! Yeah so far I like it. Too.
Only issues is like I said about viewing and adding contacts
Also sometimes if I call someone the caller Id
Is not my number... It's a 202 number
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
there is actually a setting that you can enable to choose what number is displayed on Caller ID. I do not use the Sprint integration. I have my Google Voice number separate from my phone's number. So whenever I call someone, it uses my phone's number. You can enable the option to make it ask you if you want to use google voice, and then it will show up with your voice phone number.
Hello
I've searched but I can't find an app that forwards unknown/private number to another number but not in voicemail, all block call apps send the to voicemail. One of my friends can identify unknown numbers and I want to divert all unknown numbers to him. Thanks

It works on my network
First set call forwarding in
phone - call setting - call forwarding - voice call - fprward when busy - input number on which number you want to forward
then blocking call should forward to that number
Though it may depends on network, there is application Root call blocker have different scenario to block, one of it should forward to define number.
first try default in built call blocking, if not works then try third party app
Hi everyone, I'm on vanilla Android P with the latest security patch.
Question's in the title - is there a way to block calls from private numbers? Specifically callers that have chosen to obscure their numbers so that when the call comes, it just shows "Private Number" (I have caller ID turned on).
If there's no native way of doing this on the stock ROM, could I achieve this with an app? I'm not rooted and don't intend to root.
Thanks!
Not possible to block private numbers using the Google dialer as there is no setting for it. Switching to another dialer will work so long as the replacement dialer has the option, but you of course lose things like the ability to screen calls using the Google Assistant.
