I have searched the forum and could not find anything about this in regards to the Android OS, but there is some discussion about it for WinMO.
Caller name Identification is offered by some carriers but is not supported by Android. I would love to hear an answer from a developer if this is even currently possible on Android or not. Every phone I have owned, Nokia's from around the world, have had the feature, and since OS 3.1 the iPhone can now do it too.
The following link shows some examples of what the HEX stream looks like for the 2 different CLI formats SDMF and MDMF.

Can one of the developers please at least comment if this is currently possible, or do we have to wait for Google/Android to open up the API's to make this possible.
Do you mean something like caller id? White pages does this and even gives names of cell numbers, plus reverse look up.

Though it's not a new thing, I was very surprised that nobody have or made such an application. There are several topics on XDA related to this subject, in none there is given an answer or solution.
What I am talking about? I am talking about the display of an indicator (graphic and/or text) to show if an incomming call is diverted from another number (say you have one number that is diverted on your actual one and someone is calling the first one) or if you call somebody and your call is "waiting" cause the other party is already in a call (and has call waiting function active on his phone).
These are two things that are present in most Nokia phones, some Samsung or LG have it and also some Sony Ericsson. But I never saw it on an Android phone (maybe the Samsung owners have it, I don't know)
Is there so hard to make such an application for Android? I'm sure alot of us needs it and will even pay for it (I will). There was something created for WinMo devices called O2 Plus V2.3 that offered this functionality, I can hardly believe there's noone that can make something similar for Android. I've created a similar topic in the Legend subforum but...nothing.
This can help alot for ex if you have two numbers, a business and a personal one, and after working hours you're closing the business phone and divert it to your personal number. In case someone is calling, it's good to know if it was calling on your personal number or maybe on your business one....and there are many samples like this.
If the guys made it for WinMo devices (PPC) I'm sure it can be made for Android as well.

Hope to hear something positive on this...
OK. So I've partially solved the issues. Or should I say it was solved by itself.
Doing some tests today, I saw that THERE IS an diverted call notification on my phone.
It's not included in the Android itself, nor in the dialer but I found that is showing when I receive a call made to one of my diverted numbers.
I think it is MIUI related, it is the only ROM on which this was happening. I've tested with CM7.1 right now and regardless of which number I call (the "active" one or the "diverted" one), the incoming call display looks the same. For MIUI though, things are different, there is an "Forward incoming call(s)" row below the displayed number.
I've made several tests and for sure it is indicating when you are called directly or on another number that is diverted on your number. I also attached two print screens for the normal call and the diverted one.
Maybe some other MIUI owners can confirm this, but till now no other ROMs are offering this (as far as I know) and this will make happy alot of people. Still there's no notification in case you are calling someone and you are "waiting" but that was not as important as this one.
you might want to ask a MOd to close the thread as its already solved.

Hello Friends,
I have recently installed new Android 4.1 on my HTC Desire Z and wished that simple issue had been finally added to the software. But I was wrong...
Maybe any of you know how to customize Calling In (and maybe Call out) screen to see other contact info if exist like. Company name, address, work title etc.
Most of us does not have only Name and Phone Number in Contacts. I have more that 2000 contacts and many of them are same name like John from Company A and John from Company B. Unfortunately when they are calling I see only Name and Phone number (and picture where normally I do not have )
Please if there is any customization possibility to see more contact info when calling please help to solve it.
I had similar requirement.
I zeroed on DW Contacts Pro. Has what you require and much more.
Its available on play store just search.

Free version looks promising however little overloaded with functions and possibilities. The Free version made my phone hand few times.
Thx for hint, I will try Paid version also.

Hi My friend is developing a PC Suite software. he needs Model Unique Id and Vid for Android phones. We've been collecting it manually by connect every single phone to pc and using the data from then. Is there a list where Model Unique id and Vid are given for almost all android phones available in the market.
Am really new to this please forgive me if am technically wrong just wanted to help him so posted it here thanks.
Is it possible- at all to add this feature to stock or a custom ROM? Google Caller ID is NOT the same. There are plenty of calls that come in that Google does not show me the name of the caller. This is a feature my company pays for and worked really well on my old, T-Mobile branded HTC One. Most ALL calls that came in had a name associated with them. I did find some old, outdated, threads with a "T-Mobile Name ID" apk to install or zip file to flash and while the app itself seems to work the actual Name ID (or caller ID) does not. Any help would be appreciated.
bump.
been a few weeks so bumping...
Blah, no need to bump. Sadly, it appears that CNAP is half-baked on the Nexus 5. As reported in this very aged issue (sorry, can't post a direct link till I rack up 10 posts, so you'll need to reassemble the link below):
code google com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3796
the Nexus 5 apparently only displays the CNAM in the notification shade, which of course vanishes once the notification is dismissed. It does not appear while the phone is ringing, or after the fact in the dialer's call log.
Given that CNAP is an integral part of the GSM spec, and not some carrier-specific bolt-on, I'd hope that Google would be more uniform in its implementation. Unfortunately, given the age of this outstanding issue, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Hey all. Newb developer alert here. I'm just getting started with app creation using Android Studio on Mac (10.9.5). I would've rather asked this in the appropriate forum, but apparently there's rules against posting for those of us that lurk (less than 10 posts). Just wondering for those that are building apps, are you using a hardware profile for our phone to test with? I'm not seeing anything match when searching for virtual devices to add. Or perhaps you're just using the default Nexus 5 device that ships with the studio software? Does a hardware profile exist anywhere that I could import just so I can see what the app preview looks like before production?
