need help asap incoming calls, sms contacts not displayed - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have samsung s3 with revoliunary s5 ROM. I didnt have this problem with my s3 before ROM, so maybe you can help me to fix this problem. The problem is that numbers are shown on incoming calls or messages instead of contact name. But it happens not on all contacts, some are displayed some are not. Maybe its because numbers in my contacts starts without country code, and on incoming call phone shows number starting with country code (+countrycode)*number** . Its something with number formatting but I didnt have this problem on stock/previous custom roms, somehow they recognized who's calling and displayed contact not number, dispite how it was saved(with or without country code at the beggining of number). Is there something I could do ? I really appreciate your help.

Incoming caller ID

Can anyone explain why when I recieve incoming calls, my XDA doesn't match numbers to contacts and displays names instead of just a number?
I believe that you need to ensure you are running the latest ROM & Radio Stack.
Also your contacts must be prefixed with +44 so it can do a full number match.
My contacts were all prefixed with +44..number
But when I dialed a contact, it would not dial. Once I removed the +44 it worked.
So the question is how can it display a contact name when I have taken away this prefix?

Hi guys,
One other odd thing I have noticed is that if you put a - in the number, i.e 07801-12345 it does not always match the caller and says it is unknown number.
Does any one have any ideas?
I am running the XDA Dev Rom.
Thanks, Gil.
i've noticed that sms complete there names when i put the country code and everything in the contact and incomeing calls complete when i have only the area code and the phone number. this is realy anoying
Try this patch from Paragon Software http://www.penreader.com/PocketPC/SMS_Name.html
which fixes all SMS2Name confilcts ... and voice calls (if the caller uses their mobile number).
But, there seems to be varying degrees of success downloading this patch.
If you cannot download the patch, let me know I have the original source code..which works great.
PS: Upgrade to PPC 2003 which has this fix built in ! :shock:
in what format will everything need to be in to work with this new tool?
as i think that that fancy nice looking dialer program that comes in the dev's rom needs them without country code.

[Q] Caller ID

Hi all. I have problem reciving CLIP numbers from my carierr. When I recive call, numbers are presented in format 070xxxxxx, and if my number in my phonebook is writen in international format +38970xxxxxx, the phone cannot recognise the person who calling me. How to solve that ?
Thanks in advanse
Hi,
Had the same problem and the only way I found was to add the international calling prefix to every phone number in every contact entry.
Is this bug in LG software or it is Android limitation?

[Q] Country code call issue

Hi,
I recently purchased sgs2 and updated to ics 4.0.3. All my contact numbers (120 of them) are on sim card and are saved without the country code. On incoming calls the phone displays the full number with the country code ( I am not abroad) but no name. Why it doesnt automatically figure out whose number it is like every other phone I had in the past decade ?
Is there a way of fixing this ?
well i got nearly more than 500 numbers an all synckd wiv google an i do get names no matter if its on sim or phone....
The phone numbers that are saved with the country code work, the others don't, on incoming call only the number is shown not the name.

my contacts names don't show up in the screen when someone calls !!!

hey guys,
when i logged in to my google account, my contacts arrived without any problem. however, when someone calls me, i don't see his name on the screen even though his number is saved in my contact!!!!
i tried formatting my device many times, but this problem kicks in.
every time someone calls, i get his number only (unknown caller). it is like i did not save the number at all!!!
how to fix this? can i do something on the device itself? or i can even use an app to fix this issue?
thanks
What country are you in? and what version of android? Try adding the country code to your contacts. I had the same problem with my consumer cellular 4.3.
