I am using Dual Sim China clone phone of HTC Incredible S (Model No. S710F). The OS is android 2.3.9. The problem is described below:
All my contacts are stored in international format. ie. with country code (eg. +1 xxxxxxxxx). when I receive any call locally, it display only the number of the caller. His number already available in the contacts with country code, but he is calling locally (from same country). But if I receive any call from abroad, it displays the contact name correctly.
I am residing in QATAR. Is it related to the service provider? Is there any fix available to solve this issue?
It would be very much appreciated if someone help me.
Thanks in advance.
Can you provide screenshot?
Understood your problem. Just wanted to see more clearly
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
I am having the same issue, but reversed.
I have contacts saved in my phone without the country code (+61 here in Australia)
Incoming calls and texts on the latest ROM I'm using MIUI V4 ICS (SGS2) don't display the contact, just the number including the country code.
In my last ROM which was MIUI also but 2.3.7 all contacts where recognised fine but regardless of country code or not but now it wont.
Is there a known fix for this, short of updating all my contacts manually.
Or is there a way to batch change all my contacts?

Part of your problem is that there was no android version 2.3.9. That is a custom knock off version that tends to come on those types of phone.
As for these issues best bet would be to ask on MIUI site as no development for MIUI is done on XDA.

Hi. I tried several rom including MIUI and Official after ICS Official were released.
The problem is
I usually save my close people contact number in international form
e.g. +61412345678 and +6628888888 so when I am abroad on travelling or business trip, i can text them back easily.
However, with ICS, when I call these contacts for example 028888888 from (contact saved as +6628888888), the phone won't recognize the contact name. The same problem exists when they call me.
Is there any fix on this?
No such problem in GB for me.
Known issue in Miui V4 for contacts which have a country code in the saved phone number. No idea about stock ICS.
Hi all, after flashing an ICS ROM for the first time, when I receive a messege the contact name doesn't appear it shows me the number with the country code prefix, I didn't have this problem when using GB ROMs, and I don't want to re-edit about 500 contacts to add the country code to it.
note: contacts names appear when they calling me without the country code prefix.
any fix for this ??
why not use another messaging app?
sent from S2
I've been trying to organize the phone numbers in my address book so that:
The phone calls I receive show the contact name (and not only the number).
The SMS messages I receive show the contact name (and not only the number).
Android is able to join the WhatsApp contact with the main contact based on the phone number.
I live in Brazil and the phone numbers have a few particularities: you can include the country code or not (55), you can include the city code or not (which is usually prepended with a 0), you can include the phone carrier code or not, etc. So matching those numbers is not a trivial problem.
I have the impression that Android has an internal logic for dealing with this issue. But it's not working particularly well for me. Does anyone know if this logic is configurable?
The issues I'm having right now are:
The numbers shown in the SMS messages don't have a consistent pattern: I've seen "+55CCNNNNNNNNN", "NNNNNNNNN", "0CCNNNNNNNNN". The numbers in my address book are following the pattern "0CC NNNNN-NNNN", so only a few SMSs match.
The WhatsApp numbers are using the pattern "+55CCNNNNNNNNN", so Android doesn't join them with the main contact, which uses the pattern "0CC NNNNN-NNNN".
I'm not sure this issue is specific to my ROM (Chameleon v2.01 for the Galaxy S II). I'm posting here because it looks more like an Android issue. Right now, I'm using Android 4.0.4 (ICS).
Thanks for the help!
Edit: I forgot to mention one thing: I live in São Paulo and mobile phone numbers have recently changed from 8 digits to 9 digits (the number 9 was prepended to all existing numbers). I have already updated the numbers in my address book. Could this be breaking the parsing logic for Brazilian numbers?

OK, the problem wasn't on my phone. I stumbled into this thread which made me think perhaps the problem was with Google's contact management system and not the phone:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23092
so I went to https://contacts.google.com then clicked the "cog" settings and changed my language and phone number settings country away from the UK, did ok, went back in and changed back to UK.
now I can enter contacts in the preferred +44 1234 567890, with the spaces, and an incoming call matched!
it doesn't seem to retrospectively match old call logs, or old SMS chats, which is disappointing.
Ever since the last update (LKC), all my phone number logs (and Caller ID) all display the +1 country code, and thus they don't match the Contacts from my google contacts.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks!
Good day!
Not sure if this has been posted before or if anyone has encountered this issue with any Android device out there. I have an Android phone called Kata i1. It's powered by a dual-core MediaTek MT6577 chipset with 1gb of RAM (ICS 4.04). Now to the issue I'm experiencing with this device. Whenever I save all my contacts phone number to the international format, the incoming/outgoing calls will not match with the phonebook. I'm located in the Philippines by the way. So the phone always receive the callers number on a non-international format (e.g. 0918 123 4567). Now if I change the phone numbers to a non-international format, I have no problem with that as it matches the phonebook. However I'll be having an issue now with SMS because all the incoming sms received will have the phone numbers formatted internationally. If I SMS one of my contacts and they reply, the reply will show on another thread which is kinda annoying.
I prefer that my contacts phone number on international format. Do you guys have any idea how to resolve this issue? Do you think replacing the stock contacts and phone apk will resolve it? Hope you could help me out. Thanks!
Seems no one is having this kind of issue.

Could someone with a dual-sim MT6577 (qHD) phone give me a copy of their contacts and phone apk? Thanks!
FIXED! see my followup message.
I have this problem too with my Galaxy Note2.
an incoming call or SMS from 01234 567890 will only match contacts in the address book (google) if the contact uses the same 01234 format.
if the contact is stored the way I prefer, i.e. +44 1234 567890, then it doesn't match.
if I dial the contact or send a message to that contact using the address book, then the log matches up as you'd expect.
I am fairly sure when I first had my Note2 that it did do the matching, but it was on a firmware released for Hong Kong (where I imported my phone from), and I subsequently changed to a more suitable firmware for use in UK.
I did post about this problem elsewhere on XDA Devs but none of the ideas worked
I gave up on fixing it until recently when I upgraded my firmware to the latest Vodafone release as I hoped that would fix it, and it still didn't do the matching, so thought to look for help again.
