show contactname incoming call - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

First of all my complements to all you XDA-developers out there!
A problem from The Netherlands,
I am using my O2 XDA almost a year now and I am really addicted to it! The only annoying problem I have with it, is that it doesn't show the name of the contact from my contact list when they are clling me! I always receive "unknown". Is there anybody out there who can provide me with information how to fix this? Is there a patch or fix available? Maybe this info helps:
ROM version: 3.15.15.eng
ROM date: 12/11/02
Radio version: 4.16.00
Protocol version: 32554

I may be wrong, but the unknown id from an incoming call means that the number is not given by the network. e.g. ex-directory number or with-held number by device.
If you were getting a number rather than unknown then something could be done, but i think unknown is an issue for the network, or get your friends to show their numbers !

p.s. I'm in the uk so this info may not be relevant...just my thoughts

Incoming caller ID

Can anyone explain why when I recieve incoming calls, my XDA doesn't match numbers to contacts and displays names instead of just a number?
I believe that you need to ensure you are running the latest ROM & Radio Stack.
Also your contacts must be prefixed with +44 so it can do a full number match.
My contacts were all prefixed with +44..number
But when I dialed a contact, it would not dial. Once I removed the +44 it worked.
So the question is how can it display a contact name when I have taken away this prefix?
Primed
Hi guys,
One other odd thing I have noticed is that if you put a - in the number, i.e 07801-12345 it does not always match the caller and says it is unknown number.
Does any one have any ideas?
I am running the XDA Dev Rom.
Thanks, Gil.
i've noticed that sms complete there names when i put the country code and everything in the contact and incomeing calls complete when i have only the area code and the phone number. this is realy anoying
Try this patch from Paragon Software http://www.penreader.com/PocketPC/SMS_Name.html
which fixes all SMS2Name confilcts ... and voice calls (if the caller uses their mobile number).
But, there seems to be varying degrees of success downloading this patch.
If you cannot download the patch, let me know I have the original source code..which works great.
PS: Upgrade to PPC 2003 which has this fix built in ! :shock:
in what format will everything need to be in to work with this new tool?
as i think that that fancy nice looking dialer program that comes in the dev's rom needs them without country code.

[Q] (Help) Phone Number in Status

I've been searching all day for a good solution for this but can't seem to find anything that works for the S2.
I've seen some people have an issue in Android where the phone number will show up as Unknown in the My phone number field in the About phone status screen. I have a similar issue, but different. My phone number shows up 11 zero's instead of unknown.
As my previous phone was an Iphone my sim won't fit to try write my number to the sim. Is it the same issue as the unknown? and has anyone found a fix while using an S2? I've already updated the ME contact with my number and still no luck.
There seem to be a few apps that use this number to display information about you including Kies which return this 00000000000 number.
It doesn't stop the phone from being used, but it is started to be an annoyance that I guess I could do with out.
Any help you could give would be great.
Thanks,

Sorry I must have left out the most important part. How do i get my phone to show my correct number?

I got that, but since I've got the unknown number maybe you can do something extra when you got number displaying there. So my question was needed to be like: where do you need it for?
But sorry I don't known how to get it there.

[Q] Unknown number on second line issue

Hi guys,
I have been using the Lumia 920 for about 2 months now and I am pretty much satisfied, but I have a problem. I would be happy if you can help me out.
While I am in a call and somebody calls me on the second line, many times I get a call from an unknown number. For example today, I was talking to a friend and in the mean time my wife called. I see that someone is calling me but it says that the number is "Unknown". And it happens for many callers I get, not just my wife. Then when I look at the call log, it still says that it is a missed call from an Unknown number. Any idea is there a fix for that or I just need to wait for the next version of WP and hope it will be fixed.

HI,
I have the same issue. I think it's related to a call divert, when my phone is not reachable - do you have any call diverts configured ?
The issue could also be that your second line does not support or is not configure by your provider for caller ID.

No, that is not the case, since by last phone that I used on that SIM card was an iPhone 4S and I am still using it with another SIM card on the same mobile provider. On the iPhone I don't have that problem.

Yes, I have a call divert. The same one that you mentioned. When my phone is not reachable it gets redirected to my other phone.
I guess that might be the problem. But how do I fix it? Remove the forwarding? I don't want to do that.
