My wp7 are connected to exchange and all contact are synced without any problems I can find contact via people and call to but if I receiving call event from callers with already in my address book i get "unknown contact" msg, why so? I can’t found any setting with can bring caller info name from people. Please help.
Because they hide their number?
i see phone number but no name
No one use exchange and have this problem?
no exchange and sometimes it recognizes the number sometimes not
it's because of the country (f.e +44 or 0044) phone codes before the phone number. I have the same problem!
The incomming calls are without the codes. If you have stored the contact with the country code, the phone won't recognize it. Strange thing for a phone made in 2010. Next thing is that the incomming SMS have the country codes! I solved it the following way:
1) I sync my Mozart with hotmail;
2) I installed outlook connector and added the hotmail account to my outlook.
3) Exported the contacts to excell file
4) Copied all phone numbers to another phone number column (fe.Home_Phone) and removed all country codes from the phone numbers in that column. As result I have two phone numbers for each contact - one with country code (to recognize incomming SMS) and one without country code (to recognize incoming calls);
5) Imported the excell file back to the hotmail contacts in outlook by "replacing items with imported", pressed "rend/receive" to sync with hotmail - done.
I hope you got my idea and sorry for my broken english!
Hello,
I'm facing the following problem: My Android based (Gingerbread) smartphone has a number of contacts with several phone numbers (home, work, mobile etc.) for each. When I call a contact the call goes through the mobile operator and I'm charged for the call by him.
I also have an an Asterisk-based PBX with a FCT (Fixed Cellular Terminal, or GSM Dialer or Fixed Wireless Terminal) connected to a VOIP provider that charges much less. If I prefix a phone number in Contacts with a fixed string (containing the mobile number to the SIM card in the FCT, plus some pause, plus the password to access the PBX's dial tone plus a bit more of pause) it works fine.
What I'm looking for is a way to have this standard prefix string stored somewhere and it be automatically padded at the beginning of each number dialed. Ideally, when dialing a contact I would be asked if I wanted to call with or without the standard prefix.
Is that doable?
All help is very much appreciated.

After further searching I've come across an app found on Android Market called Prefixer, by 253below.com. It does everything I want and much more. Maybe this info will help some one else looking for this.
Hello
I need a little help please...
i have configured the follow rule für incoming calls:
When numbers matches:
\+49535111222.*
remove characters:
\+49535111
Add number to call log:
prefixer number
other preferences are default.
i will like to see the 222 at a incoming call on the calling sreen, but i dont see it.
In the call log is the correct number 222, but dont on the calling sreen, there is only the android calling number with all caracters

Hi Tobi,
I'm afraid I can't help with your problem as I've only used Prefixer for padding a prefix to outgoing calls, according to filters. However, they have a forum running at the developer's site (253below.com) and you should be able to have your questions replied there.
So in the contact section under My Profile, I have my work #, work cell #, and home #. Yet when I call from one of those 3 #'s it just say call from "Me" it just shows incoming call from XXX-XXX-XXXX like a non address book contact. Short of making a separate contact in the phonebook for me is there a way for it to show my name when I call from one of those?
My phone mess up with Caller ID's. Caller ID match should be 9 instead 7. I have two numbers in my contacts which are exactly same but the operator indicator is different for example 0400123456 and 0500123456.
For example Call Recorder works fine but phone and SMS doesn't work properly.
In the file "/sytem/build.prop" I can add the “ro.phone.min_match=9”. But does this work with the HTC Sense...?
In the build.prop file also includes following lines:
ro.phone.min_match.HTC_Y13=7
ro.phone.min_match.HTC_J15=7
ro.phone.min_match.HTC_016=7
What these three settings means...?
How I can correctly tweak my phone that Caller ID is recognized with 9 digits...?
Amazfit Pace on standard ROM. When people call, only the number shows, not the name. This seems to be because the app doesn't pick up the contact name if the number has been stored with the international dialling code, which all of mine have. For example, if I store my home number as 020 12345678 it works and shows home when I can, if I store it as +44 20 12345678 then it doesn't show the name, just the number.
Is there any way to address this without removing the country code from all contacts?
No.
The app shows the name to the number that your provider sends to you, exactly that number.
Damn that's annoying, this is pretty much a showstopper for me - one of the main features I like about smartwatches is the ability to screen calls from it, and if possible drop them directly from the phone.
I found a solution to this problem with Amazfit support. If any one else will have the same problem, this was solution for me:
- Go to phone settings, apps and choose Amazfit, then go to Permissions and disable everything, then enable everything.
- Restart phone and watch.
- Caller ID then started to work.
Thanks, but it didn't work. Numbers that match exactly are ok, but if the number is stored with a country code and the person calls from the same company, it doesn't.
