Hello everyone, got this problem since I had MDA II, now I have MDA Compact and the problem still remains:
SOMETIMES, when I have an incoming call, there is only number showed, even if the contact is saved in my contacts. The name appears after a few seconds sometimes, sometimes after answering the phone, but sometimes is visible only after hanging the call up in call history. It's like if MDA is too busy to find the matching name and show it :?
I have about 350 items in contacts and approx. 3 records at each item.
Does anyone has any solution?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Happened to me on the XDA2 and now on XDA2i from time to time.
I personally think the caller ID software they've licenced on the XDA is a pile of [email protected], but there you go.
Cheers

I'm also suspecting the Caller ID application as the reason. Is there anyone without caller ID having the same problem? THX a lot.

Hello
I got myself a shiny new TyTN. So far (coming from Blue Angel, then Universal), I'm very impressed with the device. There's only one slight nuisance: I don't receive text notifications for new voicemails anymore. I just spent about half an hour with my operator's technical (competent, by the way) support trying to sort this out.
They told me these notifications were a special category of text messages; say I have one voicemail waiting for me - I get a text message "You have 1 new voice mail in your voicemail box". If I don't listen to it and I get a second, the network only sends an update telling me "You have 2 new voice mails in your voicemail box" etc. I guess this works the same in other countries as well.
Support did a trace and they saw that the notification not only went out, but was acknowledged by my device after between 8 and 40 seconds. Still, my device doesn't show the message. Is there any tool I can use to purge the text message cache on my SIM card (support told me the messages were stored on the SIM)? Or is it possible HTC f***ed up and implemented this feature wrong, so I would have to wait for a firmware update?
@Fermin
I own an Orange device (SPV M3000). When I receive a notification about voicemails it shows up like an SMS message.
I had a look on the WorldWideWeb and found some information for you

I had the same problem today. I was notified of the voicemail and I checked it. Erased the voicemail and the notification still remained. For the life of me i couldn't get it to go away. I tried to dismiss it like 20 times and nothing...finally I had to call my own phone from work leave a test voicemail and check it again. Erased it again and it went away.

Try this:- phone>menu>options>services. You should see an array of listings including "Voice Mail and Text Messaging".
Highlight this and then >get settings.
You should have a number in the 'Text messages service center' box.
If you don't - it's a quick call to your provider.
---
Hope it can help you out!
Let me know if it doesn't.
Wondering, did you perform a hard reset to see if that fixes the problem?
Why do you want to receive a text message when you get a voicemail? The device supports the protocol that delivers a 'spool' icon to the phone when a vociemeial is waitign to be received. This icon is directly linked to the voicemail, meanign that it cannot be manually deleted by the phone user. When you have listened to the voicemail, the icon disappears. Great! That is as it should be. I am aware that not all networks use this systme but i have never understood why not. It is the most reliable method of knowign that you have unheard vociemails.
I have very occasionally had the problem that the icon wouldnt disappear after listenign to the voicemail. I found that if i rang the voicemail again, that often cleared the icon. Failing that, if a new voicemail comes in & is then listened to, that will generally clear the icon at last.
I used to use a network that didnt support this icon, & so i had to rely on either the phine ringing me to tell me that i had a vociemail (if i can;t answer the original call, how on earth can i answer anither call to tell me that i have a voicemial!!) or getting a text message. The problems with the text message method of notification is that (i) i have to opne & read the SMS to discover that it isnt really a text, but a voicemail, and (ii) if i delete this sms but then get interupted before i call my voicemail, then i no longer have a reminder to check my vociemail and (iii) if i listen to the vociemail before delteign the sms and then get interupted before deletign the SMS, i still have an sms tellign me that i have unheard vociemail, even though i have already listened to it!
For all these reasons, i have always thought the best method is the spearte notification 'spool' icon, as i can immeidately see that i have voicemail, as opposed to unread sms & can just press the icon on the home page to dial my voicemail.
If anyone prefers the alternative methods, please explain how they are better than this.
If you are on Orange in the UK, the numbers in the "Voice Mail and Text Messaging" menu should be:
SMS Centre: +447973100973
Voicemail: +447973100123
BTW I'm still using the Magician (Orange SPV M500), but i asume that the Hermes/TyTN works the same way.
Does anyone know when Orange will brign out the Hermes? I heard they were brandign it as M3100.

I've never seen that spool icon before, where would it be located? As far as I know, my operator does only support text messages notification :-(
I checked the settings; SMS Centre and Voicemail are configured as they should be, and I even changed them to something else and then back to the correct settings just to be sure. Everything else concerning text messages works, so I guess the settings are correct.
If I put the phone near my computer's speakers when a text message about a new voice mail should come in, I hear the "mobile blues" in the speaker, so I'd say the support specialist was telling me the truth when she said a trace showed that not only was the message being sent out, but that my phone even acknowledged reception.
I'm somehow stuck... but thanks for your help. Guess it's either start hunting for registry settings, or start hoping for a new ROM release
There are some strange things with the latest ROM that HTC produces.. ..I now about a Prohet problem that send an SMS multiple times, or even recieves it multiple times..
Will keep my eyes open for a solution for your problem!
Did you try the Hard Reset option?
It seems like the same problem I had on my SPV C600 when I wanted to receive an vCard.. ..the phone would light up but that was it.. ..strange phenomenon
It may only be Orange that support this icon, but is a VERY useful feature & has been around for many years. I know that Vodafone & O2 in the UK do not have it, but i thoght that T-Mobile do. I dont understand why they dont all implement this feature. I wouldnt use a network that didnt use it!
The 'spool' icon looks a little like: o_o (it represents a tape reccorder!)

Thanks for your help. Hard Reset is a last resort option - and I can't really see that this would be a solution, since the device is brand new and the feature never worked in the first place. I get about 3-4 voice mails per day, so I should have received them from the start. I just didn't notice they were missing until a day later - guess I was too preoccupied drooling all over the device :wink:
I have the same problem with my brand new TyTN and it seems that we're not alone. It definitely is a ROM bug.
I already reported the problem to HTC and hope we'll have a solution within days.
Hi guys,
Same problem with my new v1605 TyTN. Spent 4 calls now to Vodafone support and each time they tell me they can see the SMS being sent and that it is acknowledged by the device. However, I never receive any notification of the text message. If I switch the voicemail to use call-and-deliver it phones me within seconds of a voicemail being left.
I tried hard resets, vodafone tried resetting my voicemail - all to no avail.
So - am glad to hear others have this and think it is ROM related. Hope there is a fix soon...
Rich
Am tempted to call vodafone back and let them know....
I *did* call Vodafone to tell them and after some waiting I was told that the tekkies knew of the fault but the manufacturer had not given a fix date yet. They say that once the fix becomes available it will either be sent over air to the device (I find this hard to believe) or a download will become available through their website.
R
I have to say that it works fine with mine. I use the 242 version not 121 and with text and notify it works exactly as it should. Text and spool symbol arrive straight away and go when they should do.
ROM Version 120.161.3
Rom Date 06/06/06
Radio Version 1.03.06.00
Protocol Version 32.36.7010.01W
What is the 242 version, how do I switch from the 121 and what are the implications, if any?
R
EDIT - went to vodafone.net to sign up for this - got as far as 'Your security code will arrive as a text message' and of course - this never arrived. Must be some problem with service originated SMS messages to this handset....
I had the same problem with the Voicemail notification and have found this somewhere in the internet. I have tried it and it works for me.
HKEY_Current_USER\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread\Count
the value is more than 1
Change the DWord value from more than 1 to 0 and the problem just disappeared.
Try it and see if it works for you.
Good luck!
Mine was already set to 0 Thanks anyway...
Still waiting for a fix....

On the O2 network you can change from Voicemail notification by SMS Text to the onscreen Spool / Tape icon by ringing the VM system on 901 and selecting the Mailbox Settings (option 4 I think) then selecting "onscreen notification" instead of "notification by Text" - option 3
Hope this helps.

Great, it works for me too!
So Ive been using my HTC Ozone (6.5 Standard, 3VO rom) for a while in israel, and the way the cellular network works is as follows:
country code is +972
the number that shows up on an incoming call is 052-555-5555.
The number that shows up on an incoming text is +972-52-555-5555.
The number that shows up on an outgoing call when dialing without the country code (aka 052-555-5555) is +972-052-555-5555.
All of these differences mean that if I have a number saved in the contact manager (in only one of the above forms), it isnt displayed 2/3rds of the time. If i send a text to ME(052-555-5555), the reply comes back from an unsaved number, in a new thread is +972-52-555-5555.
Is there a way for me to just save the base number (052-555-5555), and have the phone's contact manager realize that its the same number is the +92 equivalent? My current workround is saving all the forms of a number to a contact, but 1. its tedium to go through all my contacts and do this, and 2. you can only save so many numbers to a contact, which means im screwed if the contact has two different numbers.
I see all these fields in the "current country" setting, but I have no idea what they mean, or if that is even the solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hey , i got the same problem on my Omnia 2 with windows mobile version 6.5
The local incoming call won't show the country code, and sms does the opposite way.
check through all my phone setting, can not find any related option for this.
Thanks for anyone can provide a resolution.
i just resolved my problem. hope this way can help you as well.
get a regedit software on your windows mobile phone.
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Phone
under it, you should able to see a key name "CallIdMatch", change the value to maybe 8 or 9, which means it will match the last 8 or 9 numbers for each incoming call or sms. (use decimal) after the changing, reboot your phone.
Wow, it worked!!
Thanks a lot man!
thanks for the tip jason_ma!
i was also wondering about it.
Anyone know how to edit CalIidMatch an an HTC hero
I have a big problem with my newly bought HTC Trophy. The caller ID does not seem to work correctly. All my contacts have the country code prefix for all the numbers (+47 or 0047 here in Norway). When I receive a call the caller name is not shown, only the number. But if I remove the country code, the caller name is shown. But then all the text messages I receive, shows only the senders number and not the name. How do i fix this?? This is a big problem for me.
I've tried switching the Internation assist on, no good. Please help

I was going to say post in Microsoft answers but i see you already have lol
Hehe Yes I have, and apparently there's a lot of issues with this from other countries as well. This is such a fundamental thing to be working so I'm suprised Microsoft doesnt have an offical saying in this..
For now, I cannot use my phone, I REALLY have to be able to know who's calling before I decide if I gonna answer or not..
Stupid MS, apart from this I'm actually very happy with the my first WP7 device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971
use the callerid fix
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
where the dword is the number of digits in your phone number, less the country code
eg, singapore uses 8 digits, +6512345678, so it's
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:8

so, 9 should work for you, remember to restart your phone after the reg applied.
How do i change the phone number format in T-mo Sensation? right now its showing all numbers together.. like 9739730096. I want something like 973-973-0096. is that possible?
Also, when an incoming call comes from a person who is not in my contact, the phone number is tiny in the incoming call screen.. its pathetic.. is there a way to make that big?
The picture of the contact during the call is blurry.. not sure how why that happens..
bringing up..
I don't know how you would change the format of the numbers, in regards to incoming calls being too small of a size, do you have any vision issues? Numbers and text are smaller on these phones due to the higher resolution but not to to the point where the numbers of incoming calls are pathetically low (at least for me). When root is achieved, you could always change your LCD density and increase the general size of everything. Hope that helps in anyway

vision problem ? lol ! will you like a dial pad in such a small font? no, because it not easy to dial. Same thing.. when a call comes, you would like to see the callers name and number catchy and big in that big screen.. small font is uncomfortable..
i know some other dialer or root can solve this problem. I was asking if there is any option in sense or android to fix this ...

I am having the same issues. Mu numbers are not formatting as in my contacts when placing or receiving calls. it's showing plain numbers like 2232322323 instead of (223) 232 2323 even though the language is set to English US, anyone else is having this issue?
I have the same problem and am also wondering if there is a way to fix it.
there's an app out there that will fix it. someone posted it a day or two ago. sorry I don't have more info. I'll search through my browser history to see if I can find it
isn't that app called mylocale2 ? i had that installed, it did nothing.
MoreLocale 2 be the app
yes i tried morelocale 2 and chose english (US) from it, but didn't help at all.
I could've sworn I saw an app that would change your phone number formats but couldn't find it.
Randomly it happened for me after I imported my contacts after backing them up first. Annoyed me as normal UK format is 1234567890 so the - pissed me off!
FOUND IT!!!
will this work for you?
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.peterbaldwin.client.android.cleanup
I am not sure if that program will help me. My contacts seem to be formatted correctly. I checked it on my gmail account. when ever i receive a call it also shows a plain number like 1234567890, it has to be some kind of regional settings like in old windows mobile phones, but androids i guess use locale, and i think something might be messed up with locale...
I am still trying to figure out what phone numbers are showing without US formatting on my US T-Mobile Sensation.
