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!

Can anyone tell me how received text messages will dispaly caller info? My xda just gives the phone number so I have to trawl through the contacts to recognise the number.
Can anyone give me a good link for cool info as in skins,clocks etc..
Thanks

This is a very well known and documented problem (try searching before posting), firstly upgrade your ROM to the latest version. Edit all of your contacts to include the country code (for me in the UK that means +44 & dropping the 0).
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.
Ok, here is my problem. My conutry code is 505, I have my contact list, if I received an sms it will show the number not the name in my contact, so I discover that is when a Contact write to me some time (think is a network related stuff) it adds an +505 to the number I have in contact, so my phone does not link that sms to my contact. And If I tried to fix adding the +505 to the contact number it now shows the name in sms, but when they called me....it shows just the number...its a little confusing. Is there a way to fix that?
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?

FIXED!
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.
I just bought s9+ and this my first ever Samsung phone. been using stock android ever since. in stock phone asked which number i want to dial. google account setup and synced. no sync errors.
I have several contacts with 2 or 3 numbers saved under one name. problem is contact list one shows one number only. is there a way to get the rest? I'm stuck without a way to contact people because some people use their personal number after working hours etc...
Please help me. thank you
What version of the phone do you have, and where are you seeing only one number? My Sprint 9+ shows all numbers I have for a contact when I view it in the Contacts app.
