The only issues I can see with Caller ID on the ICS builds is calls from Telus Mobility. All other call displays seem to work just fine.
Calls from Telus work fine on my phone. Then again with Superlite 5.0, I'm not having any caller ID issue.
Calls from telus landlines show up on my phone. Calls from Telus cell phones appear as unknown. I'm running Team Perfection ICS but I thought I read somewhere that it is a quirk with ICS, and the way that Rogers sends out its caller id packets. Don't quote me on that but that I believe is causing the issues.

EDIT: So I just found this
ROGERS Caller ID doesnt work
Call Rogers, ask to disable "Name Display" on your account.

Have any of you guys that are having issues tried this?
EDIT 2: Actually just called Rogers to do this, but if I do go ahead with disabling Name Display, I will also have to change my plan. So its a no go.
Sorry for bumping this but, I just had a chance to test out a couple of different carriers and services.
Telus landlines = proper display of info.
Telus cell = unknown caller
Rogers cell = proper name and number.
Can anyone else maybe also confirm that it might just be telus numbers that we're having issues with. I don't know what can be done exactly but narrowing down the problem should help.

i can confirm. Anyone, on any carrier, not just telus, landline or cellphone, who has chosen to have a blank or "unknown" in the name field but still have their number shown, will shown up assuming u have their contact info. Anyone who has a name, say (john doe), and its displayed when they call normally, on say a landline, will show up as unknown

I had the same issue but was able to get the Name Display disabled to get the caller ID working! I had a value pack and they disable the specific feature from that pack
HTC has this feature at Phone Settings -> Call -> More Settings -> Caller ID -> Always Show.
No im not interested in the usual troll replys like: Call your isp to show your number, i have a Hidden Number for a reason to get Sales people away, but i also have the option to show my number when im calling if i activate this feature.
I would like to add this feature or something similar for an AOSP experience, and this has been the major issue for me not going there atm, I've tried the app Prefixer, but i have absolutely no idea how to add anything in that..
Any ideas? I would really like to use AOSP, as i really like the speed and Battery time, but i simply can't as i need the Caller ID feature.
friendly bump, would immensly appreciate any tips and tricks!! I will call my ISP for the +dial number to show hidden number when dialing, but i need help to get to the point where i can get this working!
Like this you mean?

I am having a tough time figuring out the phone settings on my Nexus 5. My caller ID does not show up on outgoing calls. When I first looked for settings I found Google Caller ID which is on and no other settings. When I turned Google caller ID off all the other setting I am familiar with appeared. When I hit advanced options caller id is greyed out and finally says network or Sim card error. What am I doing wrong.

I think this is normally a function of your carrier. What shows up on caller id when I call out is determined by what I set on my carrier web site (AT&T) not anything on the phone.

In Cyanogen-mod I've always had an option to either show Caller ID all the time or Use Carrier settings. I found that in some areas with the AT&T settings caller ID would not show, although it did most of the time. With Show Caller ID checked instead it always showed. I've used CM for so long I really don't remember what stock looks like. Is this just a CM feature?
I am wondering if anyone had this issue after rooting the phone, but when I receive calls, their caller ID comes wrong: The number is always is missing the country code:
for example, instead of receiving +1 248 123 4567, i get +248 123 4567. So not only saved numbers are not recognized because they do not match the caller id, but if i let the call stop and try to call back that missed call, I get the operator's automated message saying that the dialed number is wrong.
Any idea about how to fix this?

Go to phone/settings/calls and disable/enable assisted calling
Plus set your current country to match the country code

I tried both enabled and disabled assisted dialing. Problem still persisting. Country code is matching (USA). Any hints?

My phone keeps getting worse... home screen changing to pink randomly, dialtone not working anymore. Rooting my phone was the biggest mistake ever. I wish i could reverse all this process.
Is there a dialer app that can natively reject/block unwanted calls on a G3?

Actually, the default dialer will do that already but it's not called call block or anything like that... well, sort of... Open your Contacts app, find the contact you want to block and open it, then clock Edit (pencil icon), then tap the 3 dots menu and tick "All calls to voicemail", this will send any call from that contact immediately to voicemail, which is what will happen if a caller is blocked at the phone level anyway.

So there is no true call block or reject in Android? By blocking, I mean no connection, no voicemail, no SMS or MMS. Maybe I was fooled by my old Gingerbread dialer.

Not to my knowledge... it would have to actually answer and disconnect to do that. The most likely case here is that it would send a reject message to the cellular provider when the call is presented to it, instead of a trying or ringing message, which would then route it to the default Call Foward No Answer point.
If you did not have voicemail, or had your call forwarding disabled, the call would get a busy signal, but you couldn't do that on a call by call basis.
You can use the new google dialer which come with that option, you can get it on apkmirror...
You can use truecaller. You can choose how calls are blocked. It blocks a list of spammers automatically.
Here's the link.

I saw that when it came out, but never installed. Have you tried the new dialer? Can it coexist with the current dialer without any difficulty?
I assume you are referring to Google Phone 2.05.07_rc4, not Google Phone 3.00.04_rc4?

Looks interesting. I assume you are a user? I like that it is a dialer as well.
Yes I am a user and am satisfied with it. Go ahead and download it.

Didn't had a problem so far.. I think yes it is the Version 2, because the other is for Nexus and android N

I know a little off topic, even though the two dialers work well alongside so far, the new dialer can not answer a call. So there is no way to answer a call if the original dialer is disabled.

The new Google Dialer provides a way to block calls. I laughed when I set up numbers to block, the app came back and said you still may receive voice messages. So pretty much the same as forwarding calls to voice mail as you originally implied.

If you use truecaller it has options: reject automatically or ring silently. It won't send to voicemail.

I like what I read about True Caller. The only reason I hesitate., it is unclear to me how much privacy is released once I sign up. Even with Google it is a constant battle. One thing I did not like about the new dialer is it wanted to make my cell number discoverable to the web. And to turn that feature off was a deep dive into the Google Control Panel. So what does True Caller do with all my contacts?

For unknown callers it displays their names and if they are reported spam by other users it will automatically reject the call.
It doesn't do anything to your contacts.
If you call another truecaller user he will get to know who is calling.

True caller uses your contacts and display their names when they call up someone who doesn't have their number saved.

That is what I was thinking, they use the contacts list to better enhance caller ID.

I never in my life would prefer this app. Privacy breach and what not? Once read online that it holds more than a million Indian database. Stay out of it.
