Car bluetooth contact issues - Razer Phone Questions & Answers

Hi
I don't know if this is maybe a phone issue or an android issue? you have to forgive me as I have finally gone to android from apple after 5 years
I have this really annoying problem now that when my phone pairs with my car on Bluetooth there is no problem with downloading contacts, call history etc except now when I get an incoming call it only displays the number and not the contact name which can be frustrating if it is someone that I don't want to talk too.
All my contacts are mainly UK but I travel abroad a lot so they are stored on google contacts with the international prefix as +44 but when I get an incoming call it shows it as 07**** which is the normal number without the international code and no contact name. I only have this problem with incoming calls in the car on Bluetooth any other time displays name fine.
Any help or ideas would be great .

I think that depends on the car you have. With my car eveything looks fine and shows the contact info. Even with both my mobiles connected (iPhone SE as secondary phone) everything works fine.

Jabra BT800 & Qtek9000

I'm looking to know if the Jabra BT800 is compatible with the Qtek 9000, anyone can help me?
Sorry about the delay, only just noticed this question, yes, the BT800 works with the Universal / XDA Exec / Qtek 9000 I use one myself.
Hi,
I can also confirm the Jabra works fine.

Just the number! MS BT stack doesn't implement this interesting feature.
However you can use the SW on this link http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm from JETware Mobile
Evidence! I saw letters on my JABRA BT800 today!!!

Hi All!!!!
Yes, I saw letters on my JABRA's display after about one year of using this piece of almost useless crap! I have installed the latest version from jetwaremobile.com and it finally works. Previos versions just didn't worked!
(I wouldn't like to describe all issues and low quality if BT800, I just use it in a car to answer urgent calls.)
BUT!
1. If the name in the contact calling you - is not in English - you will see nothing on the LCD Screen;
2. It takes ages the name to appear on the screen (5 rings or more) even if I called few times;
3. It uses Jabra's internal memory to store the contacts. So, if you have 1000+ contacts (like I do), there is no chance to use this feature. (But, you stil can create a separate Category for the hot contacts, and setup jetwaremobile's software discussed here to load only these numbers).
So, All, train your memory and remember all your 1000+ phone numbers yourself
In my case names are displayed quite fast. But I've just a few hundreds of contacts... if it makes the difference.
Also managed to have previous versions working (v1 and v1.11. OK also for 1.20 Beta)
I guess your problem with non English names, means non occidental characters!? Because it is OK with mine and they are not English.
To avoid some potential problems I've ticked in 'Advance options', just what I'm interested in, 'Caller ID'
My only frustration is that I wish large names to scroll, otherwise many contacts seems to be the same...
@dima_the_chief
how can you browse contacts from bt800. I only know about last ten calls are stored in headset.
As for delay this is true but only sometime when devices loose conectivity,usualy works fine for me with xda2 wm2005.

As far as I understood dima, didn't say that.
In fact BT800 doesn't allow to browse contacts stored on device!
then what to understood with:

It means BT800 uses internal memory to keep lookup tables, that would allow to correlate an incoming number, with the correspondent name.
Doesn't mean you can browse the contacts list, from the headset, what in fact you can't.
Most probably it is technically close to be possible, bu it isn't in the feature list or at least implemented so.

No! i CAN NOT BROWSE THE CONTACTS with my crappy-****ty BT800.
But, I can review last 10 incoming calls. I can see names instead of numbers.
There is a compatibility sheet on http://jetwaremobile.com/bthfx/support.htm .
It says that BT 800 only can do a Voice dial, In-band ringtones and the Caller Id.

Why dont you think, BT800 loads the name for the incoming call on demand? That could explain the delay for the Caller Name display on incoming call.

I don't think so, but yes, it is a possibility also.

HI All, gabiz_ro!
Sorry for bullshitting you, but my latest investigations shows, that, even the jetwaremobile's SW will try to send all off my 1000+ contacts to the BT800 it wount accept them.
My proposition about storing all the contacts in internal memory of the BT 800 - is wrong.
But, other BT headsets still can do that! And those devices can browse the phonebook. Like Parrot 3200 LS doest. But, it has a limitation of contacts to load. In this case you have to create a Hot Contacts cathegory in your contacts.
Hope this post gave clearance on the subject.

warn the newbies -- DONT purchase JABRA BT 800
Hi All!
With this post I would like to warn the newbies against purchasing the JABRA BT 800.
Guys!!!!!!!! Spend some time and find another product!
More reliable, stable and usefull!!! You will NOT meet your challenge with purchasing this useless crap!
After using for about a year of BT 800, I have finally got it bricked.
I would not like to discribe here my unseccessful experience of using it for a year, will only descirbe the technological issues in the product.
The main buttons stopped responding to my presses. As the warranty is almost not working in my place, I tryed to repair the device myself.
The reason was - the tailanted chaineese engineer's solution to use the small ****ty piece of the plastic as a spring for the buttons. Of course after the year of rare using, this plastic part was broken, preventing the microswitch to be pushed.
Had to change the button's design and introduce the spiral spring to make it working again.
Sorry for the technical details, ALL, just do not buy BT 800 not to be concerned to the subject.
Yes, I am a strong man, and have weight down the buttons, especially when JABRA do not respond to my pressings during the incoming calls (How many of them I lost thanks to BT 800!!!!!).
How will I live further? Will buy an expencive but more reliable kar kit to use in a car and will continue using just a plain Uni for regular calls.

JetWare Works on MDA but...
I like this program and all but before installing it, I used to be able to hear my actual phone ringing instead of it just ringing in my Jabra BT800 headset. I can't seem to figure out how to have them both ringing, any suggestions?

Just not possible. It is the normal behaviour JetWare implemented, just like that.
See their answer I received this week about the same question, bellow.
"The behavior you observe, of the ring going only to the headset when “Use phone ringtones” is checked, is expected behavior."
Does anyone have the tekkeon ez 3000 with the Jetware app using the Universal? Any comments?

Does this mean that when you are reviewing the 10 incoming calls you see names instead of numbers? I can see only the numbers despite that I use jetware so I see the names when the call is coming in.

Call ID not showing up on incoming call

I am sure this is caused by an app but not sure when it started...
Has anyone experienced when a call comes in while on a call that the call id does not match to the contact on the phone?
If I am on a call and wife calls from "Home" it will not show HOME just the number...it happens about 4/5 times...
anyone???
I have been having this as well.
I think your description is a little off as well - the caller ID is working, but it is not matching the caller ID number to the phonebook entry. Mine is not happening very frequently, about 1 out of 10 calls, but it's still very annoying.
sometimes ur book has the +1 country code, but the incoming doesnt.
although my phone recognizes right either.

Correct...thx for the correction

[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.
Sent from my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 16gb Pebble Blue running Stock ROM
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?!?!?!

Am I the only one having this problem? Hangouts drops incoming calls, cellular take

I know I wasn't the only person a little dismayed about the lack of simultaneous phone /data when the Note 4 came out. The solution given was to remain calm and just set up your hangouts to dial your cell number.
No big deal, except that when I receive an incoming call via hangouts , my cell phone rings like a second later, knocking me off the internet. While I can still salvage the call, this defeats the entire purpose since I no longer have data.
Was this because I didn't port my number over but somehow set both up? Seems odd that they would allow that and I didn't want to port over because I didn't know if I could undo that. Can anyone confirm that I was supposed to port the number over?

Dialer Calls Wrong Number When Using Google Voice For Outgoing Calls

I recently purchased a Z1 Compact and have discovered that when using Google Voice to dial all calls, the wrong number is stored in the call log. This makes it hard to track who I'm calling. From what I've read, this is the number that Voice calls before connecting you to your contact. The way it's worked previously on other phones is that the contact number is stored in the call log and the go-between number is called in the background. This is the proper way and what I'd like to get back to. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm on 4.4.4. If anyone has Lollipop, has this issue been fixed? The one workaround I've seen is that you should store these numbers in the contact information (as each number is specific to a contact) so that you'll see your contact in the call log, but I'd rather just fix the issue. Ultimately, I believe the issue stems from Sony modifying the stock dialer such that the Voice app doesn't hook in properly to show the contact phone number in the call log. I've seen that some Samsung phone users have the same issue. Please let me know if you have any advice.
Whatever the issue was, it has been fixed in Lollipop.
