Hi,
I bought an A3, my previous phone was a Huawei Mate 10.
I synced my contacts, but every time I receive a call it shows the number instead of the name.
For example, I always store a contact with this format: +54 911 1234-5678; this worked perfectly even changing mobile companies or having dual SIMs. Also worked when I migrated from a Lumia 950 to the Mate 10.
But with the A3, when the contact calls, the Telephone app shows +54 11 1234-5678.
Didn't find any setting to resolve this... Any ideas?

Does your contact app have storage permissions granted? If it doesn't have storage permissions try enabling
If it does then maybe try clearing data of phone app.

Yes! That permission solved the problem. Thank you very much! :good::good::good:

Hi,
I was waiting for a call today and every time they tried calling me my Swift 2 Plus rejected the call within a ring before I could pick up. In my missed calls it says they have a hidden number. This never happened until today and it was only the other day when I OTA updated from Cyanogenmod to the latest phone updates (I had been putting it off). This timing could be a coincidence and due to an app update I suppose? The phone app I was using before is True Phone Dialer & Contacts and now I have that stil and also obviously have Truecaller as well. I'm not sure which is causing the issue although in the call list, True Phone Dialer is listing the calls as 'blocked' rather than 'hidden'. But I had been using that app fine until now.
Anyone have any idea? I'm not sure how I can even test this unless I get someone with a hidden number (easy to do?) to call me with True Phone & Contacts uninstalled. Truecaller doesn't seem to let me uninstall it.
Many thanks
EDIT: Sorry I thought I was in a different section of the forum. If this is not the correct section then can a mod move this to the correct place, thanks.
It's very likely related. TrueCaller seems to block calls from blocked/unknown numbers by default. I suspect that if you open a TrueCaller account and login to the software the option will be there to choose whether to block... I could see the option - but it was greyed out.
I was aware of this issue after getting my Swift 2X which already had the update installed. I installed the Google default dialer/phone app and systematically disabled TrueCaller and made the Google Phone app default. When my wife calls me from work it is an Unknown number so it was important for me to me able to receive calls from unknown numbers. Plus the Google dialer just works better.
To test whether calls will be blocked:- if you are in the UK dial your mobile phone from a BT landline with the prefix 141. So if your number is 07123 456 789 you need to dial 141 07123 456 789.

Sorry I didn't notice you'd replied, thanks for your advice. I'd already tried the 141 prefix but it couldn't replicate so possibly it was something weird with that particular witheld number. I haven't rooted but I think I've successfully disabled Truecaller. Not sure which is the best phone app to replace it with. The google dialer app says it's incompatible with all of my devices.
For now I'm going to try using Simpler Dialer.
Hello everyone,
I'm having this problem where whenever someone calls me, even though I have them in my contacts, it only displays "unknown number", and does not show the number. When I, however, go into messenger app, it shows the correct contact details
My device is the mi 10 global version that i bought in the Netherlands, the bootloader is obviously unlocked and this is a fresh install.
ROM is xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10_V11.0.25.0.QJBCNXM_v11-10
I also tried the new MIUI 12 ROM that's out for the mi 10 and I thought it was something wrong with the ROM since its still BETA, but I have the same issue on the above mentioned ROM.
-I've already tried turning off the "make calls using WLAN" option in the sim settings and after reboot still the same issue.
-I've also tried disabling carrier check using "*#*#86583#*#*" and restarting the device, but still no luck. I've also tried re-enabling the carrier check and restarting and still no luck.
This issue is a small one but really annoying as I don't know who is calling me at the time.
Someone please HELP!!

I can also confirm that I've turned on all permissions associated with phone and dialer and the issue is still the same.

I can confirm that after flashing miui_UMIEEAGlobal_V11.0.12.0.QJBEUXM_88a2514f92_10.0 I have caller id functionality, meaning that when someone calls me, their name and number pops up. But now my phone is single SIM and I need double SIM and caller id functionality.
So where is the problem???
Yes you are correct. Since the chance (calling 3G instead of calling with 4g or volte) it solved my issue. I bet it solves yours too. Its under network > mobile network> Sim that had the issue and disable calling 4g
See screenshot
I opened a newtopic and now i found this, i have the same problem to mi 10 with miui 12.0.1 global.
Nothing works for me .i checked everything but unknown caller id is here...
It was the 4g. In 3g no problem .
When they will fix it ? Does anyone know ?
I think the issue is caused due to a combination. In miui 11 there is not the problem. In a custom there is the issue. Anyway. It should be addressed to the developer's.
I am facing the same issue on a POCO X3 NFC, strangely only for one of the two used SIMs.
Deactivating "4G Calling" solves the issue, though this is not a solution but a workaround. I don't want to miss the "Enhanced 4G" / VoLTE features, so what's the deal with this problem, which seems to be a general Xiaomi issue?
You could try to use True Phone from play store, google dialer is really bad

Doesn't have to do with the dialer, but I have already found the solution:
[GUIDE] How To Fix The "Unknown" Caller ID Issue With "4G Calling" Enabled
Wipe app cache and restart the phone. It's a known problem on android itself. It should sort itself out in time but if it doesn't just boot to fastboot and wipe cache ONLY.
hello . I got my new mi 10 before 3 days.
I synced my contacts from Gmail and I noticed that in incoming calls the caller ID is unknown .
I restored it and it was OK.
After some time (1 hour) in another call again the caller was unknown .
What I have to do ?

clear all data for caller an contact
Sorry i didnt undesrtand
Where can i do this ?
I think you mean to clear cache from contacst and phone apps. I did it and at the first call everything was ok. In the second call i got the unknown number again
So what i have to do ?
So it was the 4g .
Now I'm in 3g and its ok but I can't use 3g I want 4g.
When they will fix it ?
Same here
I have exactly the same problem. 4G / 5G no caller ID shown, switch to 3G (or 2G) and voilà.. Caller ID is shown. I live in the Netherlands with a Vodafone subscription. This Summer while being abroad, caller ID worked flawlessly. So it seems to be linked to the required settings for your local provider that Xiaomi somehow doesn't automatically set correctly.
But how to fix it, because it makes the Mi10 rather useless.
Disable volte will help.

Yup, it work, but why VoLTE make this issue
Disabling VoLTE and VoWifi helps.
Its just one of the thousand MIUI Bugs

Poco x3, had the same problem here. Cleared cache in the contacts and phone app and the problem was solved ever since. Another thing you can try is booting to fastboot and clearing cache ONLY.
NEVER WIPE DATA UNLESS ITS A LAST RESORT (resets phone to stock)
NEVER WIPE SYSTEM UNLESS IT IS DEAD PHONE (resets phone to toaster mode)

[GUIDE] How To Fix The "Unknown" Caller ID Issue With "4G Calling" Enabled
Hi good people of XDA, Iam facing a serious issue in the Contacts app of my new Google Pixel 6.
When I call somebody and they answer their phone, the call shows as "Private number" in the Recents tab.
If they do not answer, then the contact name is shown normally, as it should.
Take a look at the screenshot here: https://postimg.cc/jL1yT1NX
All items shown as "Private" are calls that I made and they answered.
I've searched online, but i didn't find anything related to this issue. Am i he only one who is facing it?
Any insights could help a lot.

Looks like your carrier is blocking caller ID on outgoing calls or you somehow enabled it on your own. I know with Verizon I can block my number on all calls or on a case by case basis.

Hi bobby, thanks for the reply.
Caller ID is not blocked. The person that receives the call is seeing my number.

Oh I get it now. That's an odd one, I can't seem to find a setting where that would change things.
Maybe an app you have is messing things up. Have you tried making a call while in safe mode?

Explain safe mode please.
When you are on the the Emergency, Lockdown, Power Off... Etc screen, long press on Power Off. It will give you an option to reboot into Safe Mode.
Safe mode disables all of the apps you installed so you can see if it's an app causing the issue.
Just reboot again to get out of safe mode.
Go to settings > apps > all apps, tap on the 3 dots (upper right) and 'Show system' apps. Then try clearing cache and data for:
- dialer (phone app)
- phone storage
- contacts app
- contacts storage
Then reboot.
Not sure if that will help, but does not do any harm, it will resync all your contacs.
Hi all,
Thank you for your replies. I tried both suggestions.
I rebooted in safe mode and tried calling my wife.
The problem persisted.
I tried clearing data and cache for the apps suggested and rebooting the phone.
The problem persisted.
The strange thing while I am calling the phone of the contact is shown in the dialer. As soon as the person I am calling answers the phone their name is replaced and the dialer app shows "Private number" instead.
I am really confused!

Post it on Reddit r/GooglePixel sub. This can't be unique. I'm thinking carrier related but just a shot in the dark at this point.

I'm intrigued. Which carrier? Do you have wifi calling you can try out?
Maybe something in permissions manager?
Hello! We have the same problem. On my wife's phone (Pixel 6), the phone writes private number for outgoing calls. There is no problem with incoming calls. Like Gonik, I tried everything, but nothing helped.
We live in Hungary and our mobile service provider is Telekom.
Carrier: Cablenet
Wifi calling: not supported
My next step is to try a sim card from a different carrier.

Yes, it would be nice to fix it because the error is pretty frustrating. And on top of that, she got the phone from me as a gift.
Omg, I am not alone. So I bought unlocked phone in USA, and I am using it in Serbia (Europe) on mts network. ChrYslerHUN is in neighboring Hungary, so it could be related to usa/europe differences and European carriers.
But still, I have never seen anything like that, and it is quite frustrating. What does outgoing calls have to do with carriers. Your phone. should know which numbers you dialed, right.

I'm having the exact same issue. Not only me, my wife also has a Pixel 6 and is experiencing the same problem. I've searched in Google but only found a couple of posts in Reddit and this one. Has anyone found a solution for this? It's kind of annoying. I'm from Spain.
Happy New Year to Everyone!
In the meantime, I installed another dialer application that can also record calls, so the problem is partially resolved, as it shows the called party properly during recordings. Regardless, it would even be nice to have an official fix for the bug.
The dialer application name is: ACR Phone
ACR Phone - Apps on Google Play
Privacy respecting phone dialer app with SIP and call recording support
play.google.com
Anyone else experiencing this?
Had the phone about 5 weeks. Reside in Canada, its a Version C unit.
Experiencing delayed receipt of texts in group chats and single texts. Using android messenger after a full reset w Textra as previous messaging app. Settings left stock, initially after reset worked fine and boom all of a sudden receiving mms and texts as old as 4 days ago in group chats. Getting to point that considering ditching device. Spoke w carrier they show no issue on their end. Issue seems to be xross plaatform w iphone users. I dont want an S22 and only option is a Pixel 7. I bought ZF9 for size, everything else i like but this is too much

NO as I far as I can tell I am not as I am outside US, being in Canada on Virgin/Bell network. Is there a way I can look or turn off this feature as I am using the default android messenging app
I'm in Toronto on bell and have the ZF9.
All text are working fine.
To check RCS, open the message app, go to settings, chat features. Should show connected or maybe trying to connect.
Try deleting data/cache for both the message app and carrier services. Then re enable RCS.

Thanks going to try this as I did find settings and turned of RCS features. I have RCS chat features turned off currently. I have deleted data/cache now for both messaging app and carrier services, will pull sim and turn off device , reinsert sim and restart. Wondering if I should re-enable RCS chat features or run without first to see if issue continues before re-enabling
Update: even following the above and having RCS disabled since restart, reinsert of sim and clearing of data/cache on carrier services and google messenging app w/o messenging app connected to my google account I am receiving delayed texts in a group chat from iphone sender. I am beginning to wonder if clearing cash on their end may resolve. My Virgin carrier says everything seems fine on their end even though they don't support this device. I guess I may have to wait a period of time to see if this resolves as I am unsure what I can do that is left. I have already factory reset the device as well. Any additional comments are welcomed
