Recently after factory resent my Recent Logs start to show when somebody calls me and I talk to the person Contact name and underneath "Answered by Galaxy S8 Plus" instead of phone number. My wife's phone works fine and it shows Contact name and person's number. I searched the internet and can't find anything related how to turn it off. Anybody has any idea how to turn it off?
If you have Tmo digits, that may be the reason.
I do but it wasn't the issue before.

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.

call HTC and AT&T 3x a day untill they do something about it.
Eventually the company will invetigate it and do something about it.
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.
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?!?!?!
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.
Hi All,
I just got my HTC One a few days ago, and while I'm definitely loving it, there is one oddity that I seem to be unable to resolve. It's a rather odd issue, but basically here's what happens:
1. Person A (whom I've added to my People list) calls me. Her name shows up as it should on the screen both while the phone is ringing and also during the call.
2. However, while on the call, if I pull down my notification dropdown, the indicator in the dropdown shows that the phone call is with a different person altogether (her mom).
Being that the notification dropdown is displaying the name in a [LAST NAME, FIRST NAME] format, and also that it is displaying in all caps, it seems it is automatically pulling this data from somewhere other than what I've entered. Her mom is the accountholder on her family's cell phone plan, so this potentially makes sense. I initially thought it might be because of the "Caller Name ID" app that came pre-installed on the phone. However, I've already cleared the data for that app, and also Disabled it, and the problem persists. I like to only have my locally-stored contacts on my phone, so my People app only contains contact information stored on my phone, and not from Google, Facebook, etc.
Does anyone know where it is pulling this odd contact information from, and how I might disable it? Thanks in advance!
Hello all,
My wife just recently got a refurb'd S6 from Sprint and since she started using it the caller id only shows "Voicemail" when someone is calling. Needless to say my wife has no idea who is calling.
After the call has stopped or gone to voicemail checking the call log shows only that a call from my wife's own number was missed.
I've been messing with the phone for a couple hours now.
I've been through every setting I can think of, cleared cache and date from anything that I think would be related and have had no luck.
Did a factory reset, still the same.
Anyone been through something similar that might have some tips?
Thanks.
