Recently when I get a call from a number in my phone which thus has a name associated to it, the number only shows up and then 3-5 seconds later it finally shows the name. Any one have any clue what is going on with this?

wondering if any one has had this problem with their touch cruise? when my phone has an incoming call, only half of the name/number is shown in the caller id box. it doesnt matter whether it is a contact calling or another unstored number. if it is a contact calling, their name is only half displayed but the number is displayed properly. if it is an unstored number calling, then only half the number is displayed. if it is a contact with a photo calling, the picture is displayed fine but the name is still displayed in half with number ok!! any suggestions/patches??would be appreciated.
Im having the same problem, and just to clarify, its the top half of the number, so it does not appear 01234------ (blank on the second half) but the whole line seems to be obscured from the top. Im using Bepe 0.67 Opera Ed. rom build 30.03.2008
its annoying if nothing else, sometimes takes a few minutes trying to work out whos calling
did you changed the Textsize in settings?
I could happen then...
my phone does the same if its been on for a few days. I just power cycle the phone and its all good again. Another thing I noticed is that when this happens also my gps does not connect for more then a second.
So I had my phone set up to where the voicemail forwards to my Google Voice, and had it working the other day. Now when people call they get a message saying that the wireless number you called is not in service.
I've tried a couple tests and here's what i came up with.
1 - Dial my cell phone directly, phone rings 5 or 6 times then gets the wireless subscriber number not found message.
2 - Dial my cell, then slide to reject the call on the cell, get busy signal
3 - Dial my Google Voice number, which then rings my cell, I let the cell ring a few times, then it goes to Google Voicemail like it should.
I have the Captivate set up to use Google Voice as the voicemail provider, and I have my google voice number entered as the voicemail number.
Is there a common setting or issue that I missed, or do I have a real problem on my hands? My phone is rooted, but still efault ROM.
I had something similar happen to me when I switched from my iPhone. I think it has to do with the number of rings before google voice picks up. For some reason they set it to 25 seconds and that's not changeable; however, you can lengthen the number of rings before your voicemail carrier takes over. Try changing it to 30 seconds with the instructions below:
1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
2. Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
3. Write down the number (including +1)
4. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is your google voice number, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum.
5. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
This worked for me, although you do have to wait a ridiculously long number of rings before it forwards it to GV. Nothing we can do about that until Google lets us mess with their 25 second time limit.
I'm thinking a lot of people will hang up before letting it ring that long. Its sort of like that saying "A watch pot never boils".
I asked this in the Nexus 5 forums, but it may not be a specific hardware related problem
I've gone in and edited contacts and and on the 5 in question its just their area code and phone number as it should be and no addition info in the other fields. However when I call them, it says calling:15627245362718..followed by their actual area code and telephone number.
The call goes through although on these contacts but there's a delay before it starts ringing. Any idea where this string of numbers could be coming from? BTW, its the same string ahead of each contact.
did a factory reset. Same issue. I downloaded the factory image for 5.0.1 and installed. Its still happening. I deleted all my conacts from contacts.google.com and manually re added them. It still happens. But not every call. I can call a contact and it says dialing 1+area code+ number. Then the next time the string of numbers shows up.

I searched a lot to find a forum for this topic I couldn't find one so here it goes.
I live in Canada and I received 5 or more calls from this number (716-895-3300) .. it is a Buffalo, NY number and it is a medical facility fax number or something from what I found out in my search. I received 5 calls within half an hour from this. Every time it would leave a voice message and the voice message is silent except some beeping noises. I didn't answer the call even though I was tempted but I made a big mistake. I accidentally called it... I was trying to call my voice message number but my finger hit this number and it went on until my phone vibrated(meaning probably that call went through) and then I hang up. After calling this number the calls stopped. Again suspicious.
So my question is... can you get hacked if you call a suspicious number like this?
I changed my banking app password but didn't change my multiple email address passwords.... too lazy. So can you get hacked if you call a suspicious number and the call goes through and just when they are about to pick up you hang up?
What makes you think you been hacked?
It may be true that your device was compromised, but not from those calls.
I don't think that your mobile phone will get hacked if you just call a suspicious number.
Probably ok for such a short time frame call...
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!
