I use my phone for business.
I have thousand of people in my contacts.
I want to see caller's name and company before I pickup the phone.
iPhone can do this, how about Android?
phone>settings>callerid &spam. Google tries to provide the name of the caller if not in your contacts list. In the past I remember having choices as to what it used to obtain the callers information. I cant find that anymore.

yes, I exaclty need that. I need to see my own contacts information.
iphone can do this.
Samsung galaxy 8's phone app can do this.
But google pixel can't do this.
It is very weird.

There might be another contacts/phone app option in the play store that could display this information.

Try this one, see if it works. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuma.smartnotify Or this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jestasfunhouse.callinformer

Thank you.
I already tried both of them.
Smart Notify is working if phone is not locked. If it is locked then full screen caller id come, than no callers's company info shown.
Call informer was the App i was using 4 years ago. I already tried it since i swicthed back to android.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with newest android phones. Like my Pixel 3 XL.
But it works great with Asus zenfone 3. Which has android 8.0.0
It would be great if there is an update to call informer.

Nice question!
This happens because of microsoft: They do not understand that in other countries, unlike the United States, pepople have more that ONE mobile phone..
So they don't handle this situations.
I solve in a silly way.. But i don't have evidence that works: i simply replay to the sms.. And I see what number it uses for destination.
Ohh I see.
If it really uses the number in the reply which was used to send the sms, then it is a good workaround.
But we cannot be sure, can we?
Maybe someone has already made a simple app/plugin/whatever to find out the number or something?

It's no different from replying to an email when sender has more than one email address in your Contacts - your reply goes back to the address the sender used to send the original message. It's behaviour by design.
I was farting around the other day and came across an app that (if I recall correctly) does that. I am really sorry because I cannot remember the name of the program, but I will try to re-trace my farting around and if I come across it, I'll post back here.
Ok, thx!

Uhm, maybe you are right. But what I see is that Google is shifting the talk to the whatsapp/line/bbm -alike messaging. To think of it, I'd say it's not a bad move though as there's proven track record from the mentioned communication app even though the lack of "see who's online" option.

I cant its a korean widget just worked out it wont work overseas for alert cards.
You should ask on whirlpool - Pafc66
I reside in hong kong and the widget app seems to be working fine on most part. I say this because when its raining in HK, the phone says "Rain/Snow" and the animation shows a bunch of snow falling. This is kinda funny cuz its currently 30 degrees c and the phone is not smart enough to determine that it can't snow under such weather condition.

The problem you have now is you are really deep with the lie that it's becoming a tad pathological.
Let me set it out for you:
1. Your username here is 'Mickhaz12'. Your whirlpool email address starts with 'Mharro88'.
2. Your posts on Whirlpool are almost identical to the posts here about a very, very specific issue.
3. You live in Melbourne here and on Whirlpool.
4. Your posts on Whirlpool mirror your first one on here stating: 'So no1 has any idea i take it...'. You said the same thing on Whirlpool.
5.. You make mention on here of 'Whirlpool' knowing clearly what it is.
You really have two options:
a. Salvage some credibility and say: 'yeah fair enough - i went too far yesterday. Was just mucking around and it got out of hand'.
b. Continue the lie ...
I'd choose option a but i reckon you might go option b.
Lol. Wrong
Way too much time on your hands.
You must be one really sad loser or ugly fat woman considering your passion for technology and with all this time.

I have just received my M8 today and I have set it up fine however I can only see free apps in the Play Store - there are no paid apps anywhere.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
OT: How do you screenshot on an M8?
Screenshot press vol down and power at same time and hold.
Play store just select a category then top selling from the tabs above.

I don't as of yet as my bank account is overdrawn and it won't let me add it. I also thought this could be the reason.

Well it wouldn't authorise my card until I had money in my account however I still can't see paid apps...
Well I can't see or even filter between free and paid apps when I do a search. I can however see Top Free, Top Grossing etc if I swipe from left to right, tap on Store Home, then tap on apps and then swipe left once and choose photography from the Categories list, then it shows all, free, paid, top grossing etc.
Sucks that it doesn't show those filters when you're doing it as a search.
I've spoken with Google Support and they said it's because I live on the Isle of Man. I didn't have this issue with my last phone and none of my friends have this issue but the rep I spoke with is confident that is the reason.

Nah I doubt that's the issue, I live in South Africa and I could still do payments etc And South Africa is usually one of the countries that completely lose out when it comes to things like that, heck we don't even have proper paypal support for example.

It probably is. In terms of technology, living in the Isle of Man might as well mean living in the middle of nowhere. It's a complete joke.
I replied to the email the Google Support rep sent me after my phone call:
I think I have to be honest here; the issue was last updated over a year ago. Why does it look like Google has given this issue such little attention?
The Isle of Man is a constituent of the United Kingdom so I don't see any issues...
I feel like I've been left out to be honest, all because of where I live. This shouldn't be an issue yet it is and I don't quite understand what barriers are in place to stop some residents of the Isle of Man from purchasing paid apps. Could you please let me know the reason for this? Or could you please put me in touch with someone who can?

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that though. Obviously the problem isn't just PCs or Tablets like they mentioned in the articles seeing as the phone for the OP also has this issue.

Oh well, get on a PC, pop out that Tor browser and make google think you're in Finland. :cyclops:

I'm not really sure. Probably worth a shot.
I know using Tor can make google think you're from a different country than you're currently in but I don't know if the payment you'll do will work or not. You'll of course have to sign in to google and then buy it still, CC is probably on their system already.
Don't know if it'll work if you go through Tor(Let's say you're in the "UK" now "London") then signing up for a new google account and add your necessary info(Will credit card work still?) and then attempting to download it.
I haven't done it myself so I can't really confirm, haven't had this problem like you're having now but, who knows, it's maybe worth a shot.
it’s quite simple,
you hold down the power button for

Your best bet is the root the phone if you haven't done so already. Then install Xposed and this module. This has a function to unrestrict the Play store. Hopefully that will work.

Check your PM.
I had been using the Whitepages Caller ID app on my LG G2X and it worked beautifully. Gave me caller ID on incoming and outgoing calls and texts.
However, when I installed this app on my T-Mobile LG G3, no caller ID on phone calls, only texts. Actually there is a popup to ID calls but it's not logged in the app. The Whitepages tech support is beyond horrible. So can anyone recommend a solid Caller ID app for the G3?

I'm not your "brotha". I posted asking for a G3 forum user's experiences with Caller ID apps, that's all. I know how to use Google, as well as read Google Play reviews (which few people trust), and if it's O.K. with you I'd rather trust the good people of XDA instead.
So you don't need to talk down to me or be rude about it.

With that said, this app supercontact has a built in caller ID feature basically once you have it installed on your phone when you get a call
you will get the location / caller ID info from that call..it doesnt work for text.
