Hello,
I hope anyone could help me, since I am beginner when it comes to Atrix and Andoid, but let´s go:
I have bought a At&t Motorola Atrix 4G, Android 2.3.6, system version:4.5.141 mb860.att.en.us
Once I arrived to Brazil, inserted my SIMnseveral contacts, everything ok... but, when I receive a call, the calling number shows up on the display, but not the name of the inserted contact. So, it is showed the number, but not the name of the registered contact. The phone is not matching the calling number with my contacts.
I have already created a motoblur acount, restored the phone to factory settings a several times, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
Altough the phone is now in Brazil, its IMEI continues linked to At&t and my carrier says that this has nothing to do with this problem.
My carrier in Brazil is "Oi".
I hope someone could help me here.
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried saving the number as it appears on caller ID? I've had this happen with text messages and it's due to the way the carrier sends out the caller id; for example, instead of (123) 555-5555, the network pushes it out as +1235555555.
Caller ID is an carrier service and in this case is irrelevant. Your carrier is right in saying this has nothing to do with them. The phone shows up names associated with phone numbers based on your local phonebook only.
Your phone being "tied" to AT&T is irrelevant too, you're out of their reach now so they can't do anything even if they wanted to.
I should know, I'm happily using an AT&T device even though I'm halfway across the world.
What kind of format are you using for the phone numbers in your contacts? I'd recommend you use the standard international format, even if most of them are numbers local to your country. Standard international numbers are of format +<country code><area code><number>. So for my country it would be for example +3851xxxxxxx. So try changing some number in your contacts to that and then tell them to call you and see if it helps.
That's very strange, because I've used the At&T rom on my brazilian atriz without any issue whatsoever.
What could fix your issue is what our buddies said above: try setting the contacts with the International number format (+55 21 9999-9999). All of my contacts are like that on my phone and caller ID has worked fine across multiple ROMs.

Same thing, brazilian atrix, AT&T rom.
I keep all my contacts in the following format: '011 9999-9999' and it's worked with pretty much every ROM I've tried.

I used the followin formart: 021 xxx-xxx and worked. I was using "0xx21 xxx-xxxx" format and it was not working, despite my others "dumbphones".
thank you all"
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why my caller ID does not show on my phone? Ironically there are a few of my contacts that show up and some outside callers but 90% of my calls show unknown?Is there any way to address this?

I have the same issue on a recently rooted Verizon S4 (SCH-545). It was my friend's brand new phone so not sure if the caller id issued occurred before the root. Appears that all contacts in his phone showed "unknown caller."
I found this possible fix on the web to delete /data/misc/rild_ril.clip. However the file did not exist on this phone.
Fixed his issue. Found out the "Caller ID" feature on the Verizon site was not added to his particular line. It is a free feature on his plan but was not enabled when he went to a new data plan.
Hello,
I have samsung s3 with revoliunary s5 ROM. I didnt have this problem with my s3 before ROM, so maybe you can help me to fix this problem. The problem is that numbers are shown on incoming calls or messages instead of contact name. But it happens not on all contacts, some are displayed some are not. Maybe its because numbers in my contacts starts without country code, and on incoming call phone shows number starting with country code (+countrycode)*number** . Its something with number formatting but I didnt have this problem on stock/previous custom roms, somehow they recognized who's calling and displayed contact not number, dispite how it was saved(with or without country code at the beggining of number). Is there something I could do ? I really appreciate your help.
Hy guys,
I am new to oneplus x since last saturday. and I am really satisfied
But there are some little problems. The most anoying thing is, that the option "priority only" is not working correctly.
I marked some of my contacts in the adressbook by pushing the "star" icon. If I get an incoming call from one of them, my phone only rings if the contact who is calling has only one number in his contact entry in my adressbook. If there are additional numbers like a business number, my phone does not ring.
I hope some of you have/had the same problem and is able to help me.
PS: Sorry for my english.
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.
