For some unknown reason, the caller ID has stopped working on my DNA. The display still shows the number of the caller, but I no longer get the name and picture of the person calling. I have my wife saved as a contact and when she calls I just get the number, and after the call it asks me if I want to save the number to a contact, but the number is already saved in her contact information!! I can't think of anything I might have done or installed that would cause this. Any ideas? Thanks!
Try wiping the cache and data in your dialer.apk and I would do the same thing in your contacts app but make sure you back your contacts up so they can be restored easily. Then do a reboot and report back.

Looks like it was caused by the Jawbone software I installed for my Jawbone ERA. Thanks for the help!

I just went through to setup my GV account on the phone, and I'm running into a problem. First, it says it doesn't recognize the phone number I'm using, even though it's the same number as I was previously using with my last phone. Then it goes to send a text message to the phone to verify the new number, but it says "Your phone number could not be verified, please try again."
I'm wondering if my device isn't activated correctly. I had some issues initially, because they sent me a SIM card that was linked to the wrong phone number, and I had to spend a while on the phone with customer service, then took it in to a VZW store, where a girl played with it for 30 minutes, not seeming to know what she was doing. She claims she got the SIM card switched over to MY phone number, and the 4G data does work... but maybe it's still linked to the incorrect number, and that's causing GV to not be able to verify the phone #?
That's my guess at least. So anyone let me know if you've had the same issue, so I know if it's a problem with GV, or with this SIM deal.

Have you verified if you got the correct number? You'll have to check to make sure your SIM card is provisioned with your number. Might want to ask customer service or walk into a store for them to make sure all is well. Once you get it up and running, GV will work fine. Been using it without any problem.
No issues here. Set up went as it has on all of my android phones.

Damn, guess I'll have to bring it back in for them to look at tomorrow.
In the About Phone, it does show my number... but something's gotta still be messed up with it if GV can't recognize the number.
Just wondering but have you uninstalled and reinstalled google voice? When I set mine up it did say something about voicemail not being able to be set up on this phone.

When you're on google.com/voice, did you already setup your phone number there? Or did you just download the google voice app?

The voice mail setup isn't a problem. You can set that up on your google voice account online. Just go to the settings and it will ask you if you want to enable google voice mail to your associated number.

Over the past several weeks I even had trouble with my motodroid and I experienced it again today when I first set up my TBolt, although this time it only took re-attempting it once. Running stock TBolt.
I only use Google Voice for voicemail, but it gave me a weird error at the end of the setup, something about not supported on my carrier and I had to check a help document. Seemed to finish anyway and is apparently working. *shrug*
Seems like there are some quirks.
I have an Amaze 4G with the following problem:
Inbound calls / messages do not "connect" with the Contact app - the caller ID / message shows "unknown" caller even though the caller / SMS sender is in the Contact list.
By going to the Contact in the list and editing the contact, sometimes they'll start showing up correctly in the Phone / Messaging apps, but then after some time, they stop showing up.
It's the ONLY problem I have with the phone but it's a dealbreaker. T-Mo support is clueless. Please help me solve the problem and keep this otherwise awesome phone!!!

Do you have the number saved on your sim, trying importing them to your phone and on a google account if it's anywhere else.

u have stock or custom rom? cuz I remember once there was a version of Xboarder's rom, beastmod I think, that was not showing the contact name although it was saved in the contact list
Contacts are stored only on Google. There are none on the SIM or anywhere else. Process is:
1. Factory reset phone
2. Log in to Google account
3. Wait for sync
4. Call / message phone
5. Call / message from "unknown" even though caller is in Contacts
Running stock / virgin Sense.
Same here, I haven't even rooted/unlocked the phone (yet), sometime the phone shows the contact, sometime not.
I stored my contact everywhere; sim, phone and google !!!
Have had the same issue. It seems that it only happens to me when I have had data turned off for a while at work.(horrible reception there so I turn off to save some battery) seems to work just fine after about 20 min or so or a restart.
Yep, same here.
How many contacts do you have? For me and my wife the problem seemed to crop up at 5000 contacts.

For me, I have stock rom, and only Google contacts. None on sim, no Facebook, no tmobile backup.

FWIW I don't have 5000+ contacts on my phone, but I have that many on Google. But I think Sense downloads all of them to the phone even if you only select one group.

I'm getting tired of these spam calls that are an obvious identity theft scheme... every time they call, it's a different number - calling back indicates the number doesn't exist. Asking to be removed from their calling list = they hang up and call you the next day.
I've had call blocking apps, they worked. But it's always a new number they use. I'm hoping if they hear my number is disconnected, they'll give up on me. But I want to block their many numbers so I don't have to deal with them... and I don't want other people to think I'm disconnected.
In a nutshell, what I want to happen is... They call, I add to block list, they call back from same number (because they do sometimes), they hear "this phone number has been disconnected." and I cross my fingers and toes that this prompts them to take me off the list. Worked telemarketing once before, this was a policy for that company - disconnected numbers get removed.
I had something like that. But I forget what I used. then again, I NEVER GIVE OUT MY REAL NUMBER and always use google voice. I NEVER get annoying calls. I think the one I used to use they started charging for.
Thanks. Maybe I'll find something.

looks to be a bug at this time.. I have the issue as well as many others I know. If someone's got a solution that would be great!
call your phone and leave yourself a message and access your voicemail via that notification icon.

I solved it by leaving a voicemail for myself from another phone. After I deleted that voicemail, it went away finally.
The problem I always had was that my phone number automatically forwards to google voicemail.
The solution i found to work is this:
1.use that notification to call t-mobile's voicemail system
2. when it says you do not have a VM, press (2?) to send a message to another user
3.Enter your number as the recepient
4. leave a short message.
5. send it
Now hang up, use the notification to call your VM box again, and you will have one message to delete. this got rid of my notification. happened last time I upgraded to the G2X as well. This is not device specific. it has something to do with google voice.
Well ty that did the trick leaving a message to my self ty to all who responded much appreciated

That worked for me, but then later I got a voice mail from somebody else and checked it. Deleted it but the icon remained. So I had to call myself and leave a message and then it finally cleared. Hopefully it doesn't happen all the time. It's pretty annoying.
Go to settings>application manager then go to phone. Clear data. Icon disappears.
I had the same problem. I called t mobile at 611 and the lady walked me through the process. My problem was tough because I had Google Voice as my voicemail, so that overrides tmobile voicemail. Anyways, she basically erased my google voice voicemail and set up the new voicemail with tmobile. Icon is not there and I got rid of that stupid google voice.
Anybody else having weird problems when dialing through Google voice, it shows as dialing some weird number instead of actual recepient number, it connects fine though but both while dialing and in call log it shows as some random number.
Mine does the same thing. When I call it shows some weird number in the voice notification. But connects to the number i called.
Only difference is mine shows shows the right number while in the call and in the call log.

Google Voice has always done this for me on my Droid X. On the DX it would be a white popup over the dialer saying it was connecting to some odd number. Sometimes it would be the same number in succession but it seems to change every now and again. It was never in the same area code as my VZW number.
Honestly, I don't know if I've made an out going call on my S3 yet! My GV number rings through to my office phone, the S3, and Google Talk/sipdroid (for IP phone goodness on the retired DX).
I have noticed that I've been able to txt someone from GV and the conversation picks up in the stock messaging app. I'm on VZW and this was NOT the case with the DX. It wouldn't pick up a reply to GV txt in stock messaging. I don't know about initiating the msg from the stock app though. I'll have to test that.

You know I'm not sure what my old Inc does. I'll have to see if it has that weird number as well.
And as for receiving them in the stock messaging app as opposed to the voice app there is a setting in the voice app under "sync and notification" to change between the two. I've never used it through the stock messaging app so have no idea about it.

I read somewhere that it has something to do with (at least in ATTs case) that they don't include the gvoice api. Might be the same for Verizon.
Hopefully some talented dev. will be able to make a simple CWM fix for this annoying problem.
