I tried the progrem. had a great difficulty making a
call.
for some reason it does not recognize the local prefix
of the number (for example 03-6298338) and it diles
without the 0 and therefore I can't make the call.
tried editing the number on my outlook and still got
the same problem.
any suggestions?
dont use it 8)

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.
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.
Hi Everyone,
Quite a number of people, especially in Europe are experiencing caller id issues on the HTC Mozart, and some other HTC devices with WP7 (I can only be sure of the Mozart though). The issue is decsribed by many people here:
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-wppeople/htc-trophy-caller-id-problem/90c3b4d2-b558-4e6e-aa91-2530285f302f
Basically, I have my Mozart getting the contacts from my Exchange mailbox via sychronisation. All the contacts are stored with the international prefix (+356 for Malta, +44 for UK etc. etc.) to have everything working while local or roaming. Everything works ok except caller ID. SMS are recognised with no exception while calls are not recognised, at least not all of them.
Depending on which provider the caller is, numbers sometimes come in with the international prefix and sometimes they are not (depending on the local provider the caller is subscribed to). Basically the Mozart does not recognise the caller ID if it does not find an EXACT match in the address book. Eg. If the call comes in with +356 123456 the caller is recognised, if the call comes in with 123456, it is not. SMS is not affected by this issue. All SMS are recognised as they all come in with the prefix.
And there is no workaround as if I remove the prefix from my contacts, the SMS will start not to be recognised.
In brief, the Mozart does not strip the international prefix or have some condition to recognise the number if it is not a perfect match (including the prefix). I did not see any mention on this in these forums, but have seen it elsewhere, and for sure it is a problem which affects some Mozart owners depending on their provider.
Have contacted HTC and and after some useless replies, I received silence.
After debranding my T-mobile Mozart, and running the RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.01_5.54.09.21_22.33 b.50, the problem remained exactly the same as before.
The same SIM card in my Mozart works ok on a Galaxy S of a friend or an old Nokia feature phone, so the issue is specific to the Mozart.
Can anyone provide any insight? Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
Thanks,
Stefan
Exactly the same here, I also debranded the same way and the problem remains the same.
I saw in some other forum that there should be a way to change a parameter in the registry to limit the lookup to the last 8 digits, which would fix it for me. Is there a way to do this on a Mozart?

I used hack from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971
look for -Caller ID issue fix in the first post.
I had the problem of having to save both numbers with and without the country code. (Country code for SMS, and no country code for calls).
Works like a charm My country code has three digits. If it doesent work try tweaking the number in registry hack.
the ultimate resolution
1- go to the following address to download registry editor:
touchxperience
.com
/en/applications/viewcategory/3.html
choose the file: Registry Editor Version:0.9 by checking the box next to it then click on download.
2-copy the downloaded file to your phone (probably to the storage card) and then install it.
3-go to applications and open the new application: Registry Editor.
4-go to the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
then
ControlPanel
then
Phone
then
CallIDMatch
then choose the type to be " dword " and change the value to " 7 "
5- finally soft reset you phone or turn it off then on and BANG!
enjoy
How do you copy the downloaded file to the WP7 device?
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
hey guys,
when i logged in to my google account, my contacts arrived without any problem. however, when someone calls me, i don't see his name on the screen even though his number is saved in my contact!!!!
i tried formatting my device many times, but this problem kicks in.
every time someone calls, i get his number only (unknown caller). it is like i did not save the number at all!!!
how to fix this? can i do something on the device itself? or i can even use an app to fix this issue?
thanks
What country are you in? and what version of android? Try adding the country code to your contacts. I had the same problem with my consumer cellular 4.3.
