[Q] Dialed numbers showing up as 'Unknown' in call log - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes when I call someone, either by typing the number myself or by calling them from my contacts, it will show up as 'Unknown' in the call log. Doesn't always happen though.
This is kind of annoying when I quickly need to call someone I just called, but especially annoying when I dialed a number that's not in my contacts list and I have to go look it up again.
Any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Missed Call - Unknown?

I've missed a few calls frompeople who are not in my contact list.
However when I go to the 'Call Log' to check the call, it does not show the number of the person that has rung me. It just says 'Unknown'.
Is there anyway that I can change this so that it tell me the number atleast of the missed call so that I can call back?

It won't work.
The problem in your case is, that the people who have called you didn't transmit their telephone number.
So, there is no number to show. If a call come in from a number that is transmitted and is not in your contacts it will show you the number....

Google Voice does not ring.

Does anyone else have a problem with their Google Voice not actually ringing through to their phone?
Mine's been doing this for a while. If you call my Gvoice number, it rings like it's forwarding to my phone, but never actually has an incoming call for me. Then the caller gets sent to my Gvoice voicemail.
I saw on another page that changing your number fixes it, but I'd rather not do that. A lot of people have my current number.
Any suggestion is welcome.

Phone Number Format

Hi, I have noticed that when entering phone number in contacts like this (###) ###-#### or even like ###-###-#### when getting calls from them or even looking at the call history, it still shows the numbers as a long big line of 1###########. Is there a way to fix this and make it look correct?

[Q] Missed call numbers do not have '1' before area code, dial back as international

This is a weird one happening on my Dad's phone. He and I both have S3s and his will not correctly call numbers back on his missed calls. I have checked and only on his missed calls the phone for whatever reason is not affixing a number '1' before the area codes. This causes the phone to dial the numbers as international numbers on the callback. He can still dial normally from his address book and and can even call back numbers in his recent listing that weren't missed just fine. The issue is solely with those calls that were missed.
I have scoured the web for hours and cannot find anyone else who had this problem. What could be causing it?

Google Phone # activating both Hangouts Dialer & Google Dialer

I've had this issue for a long time now, I can't figure out why this is happening, when someone dials my google number, both the dialer applications ring, the google dialer and hangouts dialer.
Under Handgouts Dialer i do have "Incoming phone calls" checked, I also see both my numbers listed under confirmed phone numbers.
Any ideas? I can't find anything about this anywhere.

You wrote that you have the "incoming phone calls" box checked in Hangouts but are complaining that it's ringing through Hangouts… Is that what you meant to write?
What's the end result you're looking for?
If you don't want your phone to ring when someone calls your GV number (i.e., as a forwarded call) you should still be able to turn it off in the GV settings on a desktop browser. I'm still new to the board, so I can't post links yet. google/com/voice/#phones
Hope that helps.
Yea, i didn't want my google phone number to ring my android dialer, i went to https://www.google.com/voice/#phones and found the option to forward calls to, and my telecom number was listed there to forward to, i turned it off and it fixed the problem.
Thank! - This fixed it!.
