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. Both incoming and outgoing phone numbers are not showing in (xxx) xxx xxxx format, but instead just showing xxxxxxxxxx format. Can anyone who uses US version of sensation confirm if your phone numbers show in (xxx)XXX XXXX format, please?
thanks

All,
Just got my new VarioIV and callerID is not working i.e. when someone rings who is also in my phonebook their name and number is not displayed. The phone display unknown caller and the number.
If the same person sends me a text message their name is displayed. Anyone else experiencing this?
After some investigation I have discovered this phone does not like international numbers in the format of +XX
If I have a number in the format of 07125 123456 callerID with name works.
If I have a number in the format of +447125 123456 callerID does not work but when I get a text the person name is displayed.
Is this by design? My Kasier, Hermes and Blue Angel always worked with +XX numbers.
Thanks
Have a look in this thread:

Quite why the phone was released with this problem is beyond me.

I totally agree, why I need to use a 3rd party software to fix the problem is totally unacceptable. T-Mobile should address this problem, i will give their customer support a ring.
Thanks

Hello I tried using Schaps Adv Config and changed the trailing numbers to 9 and indeed callerID now works BUT this seems to break text messages i.e. when someone sends me text i get no notification on my phone. This is crazy, I have spoken with t-mob who will reset my profile but i have a feeling this is a Vario IV rom problem.
Thanks
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
Hello,
I have this question from long time and hoping to get some help here.
I use calling card for international calls ( cheap ) but in this process I need to switch back and forth between active call and contacts to enter phone numbers on the dial pad during active calls. Now the problem is, when I switch back from contacts to active call and back to contacts again, it does not show me the contact details I was previously viewing instead it shows me the contact list. It is very irritating as its very difficult to remember the 10 digits numbers and dial it in one go. Please give some good idea to switch back and forth between call and contact while keeping the contact details open. My previous Symbian devices were excellent in this area. but I am sure android must have similar functionality...
Thank you
You can simply add the calling card number before your international number with a comma (,) in between. For example you can create your contact as below:
1800xxxyyyy,44xxxyyyzzzz
And just call that number thats it

sounds cool...but it asks me to select couple of options before actually arriving at the option where I enter the actual international number. Or can I try entering all the options seperated by commas and it will work like 1800xxxx,2,1,4,numberxxx
thanks for your reply though...
I tried a few apps on the market but when I ring my Hero from a number which is not in my contact list it still rings. I can set any contact to go straight to voice mail so it seems logical that an app could be developed to do the same for any numbers not on contact list.
Anyone knows of such app which actually does it for our hero?
Anyone? There has to be some one who knows
I use CallFilter. It works pretty well, sometimes it'll ring one time real fast, then go to VM. Only probably I've found is that if I'm on the phone already, it cuts off my call.
Yeah, I tried it but unfortunately it still rings for calls which show a number. It only works if the call has no name in contacts or unpublished number.
So the idea is really to just send anyone to voice mail if they are not in your contacts. I figured that if they want to contact me they'll leave a message and if I like to talk to them next time I'll add their number to my contacts.
What ROM are you using? If it's AOSP you can long press the number in your call log and in the menu that pulls up you'll see an option to add it to blacklist but that requires missing/receiving a call from it first otherwise I've used call filter from the market in the past which seemed to work well

if you want the specifics, i am not the man that would be able to tell you. but i would think this is something tasker is capable of handling.
I'm using stock 2.1 with root and some mods.
Actually, the stock 2.1 comes with an option to send to voice mail for any contact. So what you can do is make a group and put all the numbers which annoy you with this option.
The problem with ALL apps which block is that they still either ring once or somehow silence and ignore the call. Either way the call still seems to come in on display. I'm not just talking about the notification but the front display. So it seems like all these apps deal with this in one way; they simply intercept it.
However, the feature which comes with stock 2.1 does this properly and only displays a missed call. The phone does not ring and the caller gets the voice mail immediately. So Sprint or Google did something else in how they handle this. It seems like there should be an option to just let it go straight to voice mail for any numbers not in the contact list or just let the damn thing ring
Still not able to find anything working properly for hero
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.
