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?

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.
How do I see from which number a Text Message (SMS) was send?
Here is the problem: A friend of mine wend abroad and is using a different mobile phone number. I saved the new number in the contact file under "Home2 phone". Now, if I recieve a text message I actually dont see were it came from, do I?
(Even after clicking on the Message it opens the contact but shows the mobile phone number, not the one it was send from.)
Thanks for anwser
When receiving the message, all you can see is the name of the sender.
When you click on the contact, it shows you only the mobile phone number because, theoretically you can receive sms messages only from mobile phone numbers. A stationary phone number cannot be used to send sms
Torque77: Wrong. You CAN either send and receive SMS from fixed lines in most EU countries. And Rose can handle it without any problems.
Gipo: Just hit Enter when the received message is selected. Contact card will open with proper sender's phone number highlighted. BTW in threaded messages is enough if you just simply hit "Reply" - it will be sent automatically to correct number. (In fact, every number - even different number of the same contact - creates a new thread).
EDIT: OOPS, you're right. It just shows the card without highlighting the number (having a look I saw a last call, not the message). Then only way is direct reply in the thread then. Nevertheless, it's simple and reliable.

Sorry then. Guess Moldova is waaaay behind and this chapter.
No problem... Just an reminder. Nevertheless, you can't be sure, if it is a phone able to receive it (again - some operators forwards SMS as a voice message then).
At least at the moment you already know, that Rose can send SMS on ANY phone number stored with contact - if you have somebody e.g. with more mobile phones.
Yes, if you just choose a contact in the list and select "SMS" by right-left arrows, the mobile number is used. But if you hit Enter in Addresse field in empty SMS form, select an user, Rose will show you all available phone numbers for the contact and is able to send the message at any of them.
thanks guys
I have searched for this and found the same question posted in a HD2 Android category, but there were no responses... so asking for myself in here.
I have all my phone numbers listed in my contacts with the preceeding area code, as I often travel outside of the local area and need those area codes included in my contacts numbers..... ie: all my phone numbers are 10 digits in length.
However, there doesn't seem to be a requirement for the area code to be sent, when a caller has Caller-ID enabled. In other words, I receive some calls from contacts in my phone, but if their phone doesn't include the area code in their Caller-ID, then my phone doesn't recognise or identify the number. Consequently, when hanging up from those calls, it constantly asks me if I want to save the number.
Note - it isn't a permanent thing. Many incoming calls DO identify correctly, as the area code has obviously been sent with C-ID.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Obviously I COULD go thru every contact and manually add another non-area-coded phone number - perhaps under an obscure phonebook entry, like "pager"... but surely this is something that one would expect be handled automatically by the phone... not by duplicating entries as a work-around.
What would happen for business-people who travel internationally - most of their contacts would also include the "+61" (or whichever) country code also.....
Nobody ???
Bumping again ????
Anybody have any clues to this?
Did you try disabling the Area Code Prefix setting in Settings -> Call Settings ?

Thanx mate for your reply.
Sorry took so long.... my phone has been in for warranty repair (unrelated matter to this) for the last 7 weeks, so I haven't logged onto xda in that time !!!
No..... I haven't tried disabling the AC Prefix setting. I will have a look at that and see if it makes any difference.
One additional comment..... I am also having the REVERSE problem.... in that SOME people who ring me on their mobiles, the caller ID is also sending the +61 (Australia) country code in front of their mobile number too.... so again, my phone isn't recognising them as being the "same" number as what is stored in my phonebook ????
Will try the disable thing you mention and report if it works.
Sorry mate... cannot find the setting you mention.
Could you explain please exactly where it is ?

Or you could turn off having the phone ask to to add the number to your contacts.
On the US T-Mobile phone it is:
Activate phone screen
Menu
Options
Menu
Network Selection
Advanced tab
Turn off the feature to "Add new phone number to People at end of call"
I'm using the NRG ROM.
Thanks stevedebi.
Sorry - I mite not have been properly clear.
The issue isn't being asked to save a new number.
The issue is.... the phone does not recognise a number - mobile or landline - if there is an area-code or country-code prefixed to the number (or vice versa) with the entry in the phone book.
Eg: ALL my contacts saved in my phone have their mobile numbers WITHOUT the +61 country code.... and ALL landline numbers are saved WITH area-codes.
Now - depending on my contact's phone operators, they sometimes send with, or without, those prefixes in their caller ID's.
Consequently - on those occasions.... my phone does not recognise incoming calls or messages as having come from my contacts, due to the extra numbers at the beginning.
Surely this is a software issue from HTC? I mean, surely the software should be able to query an incoming called ID (either with or without prefixed-codes) with a saved number in the contacts/phonebook (with or without prefixed-codes)... ???
Bumping again ?
Sorry to be repetitive.... still looking for an answer to this ???
Check you registry setting for "HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch" value=?!?
try to reduce the number for "Value" by 1 and try.
This is for the number of digits your phone will check when comparing incoming numbers with stored names.
Thanx Omar,
Will try that. Question though.... does it check the phone number (by number of digits) in reverse order? ie: setting a particular number will have no effect, if it checks in normal forward order, as it's PREFIXES that are making things wrong.... so the phone needs to ONLY check the LAST 10 digits.... not the first 10. This will eliminate the issue with any country-code added to the front of a number... but will not help with a local area code, as these are dependent on the callers' carrier, if they send the area code in the CID or not
From my experience with my HTC phones, it checks the last digits.
I have number saved with the +974 international code (for Qatar), & when local call come in, they only show the local format (without +974) & the caller ID still recognises the names. Our local numbers are 8 digits, so I have the registry value set at 7 or 8 & it works fine.
Greetings.
I've been using the SonyBread ROMS by paul-xxx in my X10 Mini Pro and they are great, but I am having an annoying problem with all versions:
when I receive a call from someone (who is already saved in my contacts list) the phone shows only the number, not the caller’s name.
This happens because here in Brazil I have to save the contact's number with the area code and the long distance operator number, but when someone calls the operator only informs the area code and the number.
Example:
Contact> John Doe
Number> 0-41-11-1234 5678
[meaning: 0-(long distance operator number)-(area code)-(John Doe's number)]
But when John calls the operator informs only 0-11-1234 5678 and then the phone doesn't associate this number with John's.
Before I started using custom ROMs this worked flawlessly. I could have whatever operator number stored in the contacts and the phone always could identify the caller.
I think it read the caller's number backwards and read only the first 10 digits...
Anyway, as this was working with the original firmware, maybe there is a way of extracting a file from the original ROM and overwriting it on the custom ROM.
Does anyone knows how to do this? Or even better, has someone any kind of solution for this bug?
Thanks in advance!
Try fixing the number to 0-41-11-1234 5678 instead of 0-11-1234 5678, just a try... My phone doesn't happens it...
replace in settings language

Hi, XxLordxX.
I went to Sao Paulo city this weekend and the phone did recognize some calling numbers.
The local numbers (Sao Paulo city's numbers) were working ok. The phone showed the number without any area code (1234-5678) and the caller's name appeared on the screen.
Now I've returned to my city (different area code) and the same caller from Sao Paulo was shown on the screen with the area code (011 1234-5678) and no name appeared.
In the example above the number stored in my phone was the complete version, with the operator number (0 41 11 1234-5678). So, the problem only happens when someone from another area code calls (80% of my calls).
And as I said before, this was working perfectly with the original firmware.
Very strange. Any ideas?

Hi paul-xxx.
Sorry, but I did not understand what you mean.
Anyway, I changed the language to English (United States) but the problem remains.
Any other idea?
Thanks.
PS: Your ROM is great, thank you very much for the work.
Guys, I have managed to solve this issue by removing the long distance operator code from all contacts and intalling a free app that inserts the programmed operator number at the moment of the call.
Now the phone is able to recognise all callers.
Thank you both for taking the time to help.
Cheers!
Sorry if this is the wrong thread to raise this topic, but didnt know whr else I shud put this.
I bought a sprint motorola photon few days back and programmed it to my CDMA operator (Citycell - Bangladesh). Everything is working fine, got EVDO to work etc.
BUT whenever I receive an SMS from ANYONE or any number, the "0" in sender number is shown as character "D". FOR Example if i get an SMS from 01199800570, it will show I received SMS from D11998DD57D > it has nothing to do with that number being in phonebook or anything. any "0" in sender is shown as "D". as a result i cant even reply to these SMS,
FUNNY thing is, when i click on the sms to read it, the ORIGINAL number with "0"s (01199800570) is shown in the last line as [CB# 01199800570]
I have inspected the mmssms.db. I found 2 fields - ADDRESS (which contains all the phone numbers' 0 replaced by D] and CALLBACK_NUMBER [which contains the actual number]
Now I was wondering -
1. IF thr is anyway to fix it by tweaking system settings or something so that sender's number is received correctly [so that ADDRESS field would have correct numbers]
2. OR if it cant be fixed, if there is anyway to force the SMS app (Conversation.apk) to read Sender's address from CALLBACK_NUMBER field instead of ADDRESS field ...
3. OR ATLEAST can someone kind enuf to provide me with a script that would (when run) access the mmssms.db and change all the "D" in values of address column to "0" ?
This is NOT a photon 4g problem - but with most SPRINT cdma phones. The same thing happens with ANY sprint android - when programmed in different country, 0 is replaced with D in received SMS
THEN again, this is a problem in android version < ics. THE ICS phones that are programmed shows sender's number correctly
AGAIN, this is NOT a problem ONLY with my operator, I heard about similar problem in other countries too
Since ICS shows it fine, that means, thr are work arounds in gingerbread too. OR atleast if we can force the SMS apps to read sender's number from CALLBACK_NUMBER, problems are solved.
I know you guys are the best and if u look into it, it would only take a min of ur time to find a solution ... :angel:
anyone ?????
I have the same problem - using an XT800 with the chinese 2.2 rom
most of the time it works ok but it goes haywire on its own without any apparent reason! having a hard time figuring out the sender of each and every message that comes in, some help/ guidance would be very helpful
TIA
