Can anybody recommend some software that will show the call durations of each call made. I would just like to see how long each incoming and outgoing call made has gone for. At the moment, the closest thing I can get to this is pressing the caller history button, but it only shows name, number, and the date/time of the call.
I'm quite suprised that I have no been able to find anything like it yet, I thought it would be quite in demand. (unless I've missed something simple)
EDIT: silly me, I just realized that if I click on each item in the caller history, in a baloon popup it shows the rest of the information that I wanted to see - call duration, date and time. However, if anyone can find some software that shows all the information without having to click on each item, I'm still very interested!
I've found one that works alright, it even shows me a % signal strength!
It's called PhoneDashBoard. Unfortunately, it only shows me the phone number dialled in the call tracker history, not the associated name in my contacts list.
My old Nokia 8310 used to show me the name of the mobile tower I was connected to, i.e. Osborne Park or Perth CBD for example, has anyone seen something similar that can be used to do this? Phone dashboard just shows what network I'm connected to.
I also tested DKToday, unfortunatly I couldn't see any of its features as everytime I clicked on it on my today screen, it powered down my XDA. (running 2003 se)

Looks like youve been talkin 2 yourself here.....
I use the Phone Dashboard also... I have found it to be the most capable/stable yet, and works well on my PDA2K.

I need to forward a land line rom my home to my XDA1 occasionally. It is a standard PSTN line.
On my Nokia the calling number comes up as number>, indicating a forwarded call, and on Motorolla the calling number comes up as forwarded call - number
Onthe XDA there is no indication that the number is dialing the XDA direct or dilaing the landline number and being forwarded.
Is there a fix, or a way of indicating a forwarded call?
Thanks. BB
MAN! you should ask your local landline phone company to enable "call forwarding" feature!
it is nothing about your XDA!
cgigate, i think you totally misunderstood the poster. if you ever used the call forwarding feature, you would notice on most normal mobile phone, the would be indictaors like ">", "->", "Call Divereted" displayed before the incoming number, so that you would know that a call that comes into your mobile phone was in fact a forwarded / transfered call (from another landline or mobile).
i have the same problem as well. it seems like this is a Phone Edition feature (or lack of feature), it doesn't support showing the call origin indicator. or maybe the Microsoft developers have just discarded this and therefore never bothered to programme to display them.
it's really a hassle as I now have no way to tell if a call was made to my mobile, OR a call was made to my office but transfered to my mobile.

Yes, I misunderstood it.
I'm using call forwarding every day.
"Call Divereted" displayed before the incoming number, actually it is very hard to notice , even it is Nokia/SE/Mot phone.
it's mobile phone dependent feature actually.
My last Siemens phone display a small arrow in front of the number like -> , and the little arrow stayed there as long as it's ringing, but disappeared when you look at the call register later.
I'm hoping somewhere along the line, maybe developers of Caller ID alike could pick this up and add to the feature.

XDA always missing some good features as a phone
Anyone has any suggestion?
There is no solution yet.
Not solution yet?
Now we have Wm2k3SE. Is there any solution for bbourke's problem.
I do really miss this feature, because I use dual sim adapter and sometimes call goes to "inactive" SIM and is forwarded to active SIM...
does anyone know how to discover calls comming from forwarded lines?
hi dudez,
Sometimes when i got call i dont see name of call just show me number, There is a fix for this problem?
Thanx anyway,
ZPDY
that means the person calling you is not in your address book
I don't think zdpy means a person not in his address book!
I have noticed the same thing - intermittently.
The individual ringtones of CallerID aren't working at all on my Magician (I ALWAYS get the default ringtone), and sometimes even the name is not displayed.
I suspect this happens because I seem to have too many contacts (>600, overall >1500 phone numbers)...
I have been removed CallerID and still sometime show me only number with no name even the number store in my addressbook.
Ok so I've done two flashes today and both have come up with the same result, my caller ID shows Unknown name, Unknown number for all calls??
Here is the ICS rom I'm running now but I can't post in that forum because I'm a newb.
Has anyone else seen this yet? Or have I done something wrong? I have searched and can't find anything specific to this phone.
Also, if I go back to the original Gingerbread the numbers come up as they are supposed to.
Sorry, please ignore this... got home and tried with a different number and it's working now?
Delete this thread at will
I'm actually seeing this as well - sort of. When a contact calls, it displays caller ID correctly. When someone not in my contacts calls it shows up as unknown. HOWEVER, my Any.DO app has functionality for missed calls (you can add a missed call to your task list to call later or ignore) and when that pops up I see the phone number of who called.
Weird...
when you go home, you probably connect to your home wi-fi. the app only works and does a "reverse lookup" whenever a data connection is working properly.
however, if the data of location is already stored on your contacts from previous SUCCESSFUL data reverse lookups, your phone will pull that information first if no data connection is available.
Strange... so I flashed the Alien ROM last night and all was good nunbers all worked etc. So just for kicks I've flashed back to the ATT rom and it's not working again.
all numbers just come up as Unknown (no number at all, just the word Unknown). I'm wondering if it simply takes some time for the networks to sync or something?
I'm gonna leave it on for a while and let you know what happens.

Are you using the built-in City ID app? cuz if so, it still requires a DATA connection.!! Wi-fi or Data. Without it, it will return "unknown". UNLESS it has been manually entered and/or retrieved from a previous session....
are you not understanding? I felt like I just repeated myself lol.

Thanks for that... I do have a data connection, both WIFI and 4G/LTE from my provider...It still doesn't work. I have no idea what you mean by a "City ID" app. Is there something I've missed?
I should also mention that this has NOTHING to do with my contacts. ANY call either a number I have in my contacts or a number that is not in my contacts, neither show up at all. When I get a phone call the screen goes black and I see the word UNKNOWN at the top and then the answer or hang up buttons at the bottom.
i am also facing the same issue
Found a reason behind the problem in another forum, have a look here
Its not the perfect solution but it does work and it means you have to call Rogers.

Naw that doesn't work for me, I don't have name display. It does that regardless, unless I spoof tbe caller id and then I work fine. I think rogers has a specific format that they detect for caller id and if it doesn't match then you get nothing.
I can't share how to spoof caller id because I have my VoIP company and so there certain things that I can do which otherwise isn't doable.
Basically the phone that's calling has to format the number in international calling string. +1 999 999 9999
Or the receiving phone has to change it to that since caller id works as a two step thing.

Hello Everyone,
I am Rooted and unlocked running the latest CM10.1 nightly.
Not sure if this is the right section, if not please direct me to the appropriate place. Yes I've searched, maybe my googling skills suck today.
Lets start from the top. My Wife has a Windows 8 phone, the only thing I find that it does, that my android does not is caller ID functionality. If she calls Lowes home improvement, It displays it in the call log as Lowes Home Improvement instead of the number. She does not have this number saved in her contacts. It does this with any number she pulls from the web.
Its nice because in the recent call list it shows the business and not just some number.
Is there an App or a setting to do this?
Thanks
Trying to figure out whether this is normal behavior for the S22 Ultra, and if so, why is such an obvious flaw is not fixed?
Call comes in and the phone properly shows the Caller ID name, which is obviously super helpful. Once the call is logged in the Recents List, however, only the number shows and I no longer remember who the call came from, and have no way to get it. I believe the same is true for outgoing calls, where the Caller ID tech identifies the name of who you're calling once you dial the number, but again you're left with just the number and no name in the Recents List.
So why in the world wouldn't the phone be able to capture that name data and store it for future use without having to specifically save that number as a contact, and although I haven't tried to do this yet, would the name at least be saved then, or would I have to manually enter it all over again?
Unless i'm missing something, this Caller ID Name feature seems half baked at best. Sure, it's good to get that name when the call comes in, but it you're not around or if you need to know who had called a day earlier, you're completely out of luck!
