Contact Caller Id sometimes doesn't show up? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i have a Nexus S on jellybean. And sometimes when my contacts call me, it will either not show their name at all, and just their number; or it will just show their number for the first few rings and then it will finally start showing their name; or it will show there name the whole time an work normally.
This does not just happen only with certain contacts, it happens with all of them. their name shows up perfectly fine in the call log after the call is finished or if i don't answer.
How can i fix this?

I see this a lot less running my min cpu at 400. I haven't noticed any big difference in battery by doing this, personally.

Are you stock unrooted? If you are, you don't. You backup your stuff and factory reset. If you're rooted you get a custom kernel from the dev section and use nstools.

Text on missed call?

Sometimes when I miss a call, my phone recieves a text from myself with just the missed call number as the text. I cannot for the life of me find where this is coming from!
HELP!!!!!!!
Please!
Which rom are you running? On tapatalk so can't see if you have a sig... I don't get those so it might be a rom unique setting?

Hold on, this might also be caused by your google voice settings if that is what you are using for voicemails. Check that first

Battery drain from "dialer"

I'm experiencing serious battery drain on my ROM'd phone. When I go into Spare Parts under the "network" pulldown menu, the object using the most amount of data is "Dialer." This doesn't make any sense since I've only made about 15 minutes of phone calls all day. My hypothesis is that the dialer is pinging the network all day, draining the battery. Why is it doing this and how do I fix the issue?
spare parts doesnt display an accurate amount of usage.....thats what I have read in the past from others

The data in Spare Parts is accurate. I can say with great certainty that the Dialer showing up as the number one user of the network is indicative of a problem.
Does anyone have a real solution?
Its from assisted dialing, tell HTC and phone finder, turn them off

Not sure if this is related, but according to My Data Manager, dialer has used about 75MB of data over the two weeks I've been using it. Kind of odd as I've made/received about 5 calls the whole time.

I also can confirm this. I dont know why that is though.

My phone has been unplugged for 5 hours and I've made zero calls, but dialer states I've received 10 mb of data.
In comparison, the next highest network usage belongs to Touchdown. I've received almost 40 emails and it's only used 1 mb. How can dialer NOT be a problem?

I am, indeed, running Froyo Eclipse, but not the version that came out yesterday, the version before that. How much data is your dialer using?

Im running humble 1.42 with same issue
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
I am in the same situation. My dialer is also using the most network resources. I use Go Dialer. I wonder if that could be the cause. I'll delete it and see if it makes a difference.
I'm on Humble 1.42
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
If you click on dialer in spare parts it gives you more details. What do you have under "packages sharing this UID"? Perhaps that will give a clue.
For reference, I have seven shared UIDs (on Humble 1.42) and not experiencing this problem. 2.5MB used in 12 hours with numerous calls.
I also noticed an app named "0" using some data. Anyone know what that is? If I click on it I get a force close of "settings".
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
also running Humble 1.42 and have 7 UIDs linked to Dialer yet it still is taking up the most Network Usage.
I'm at 9.6MB after 6 hours with only 5 short (less that 1 min) phone calls.
I'm also seeing dialer as having the most network usage. However, I'm running stock deodexed ee4 with the latest pb&j kernel.

I just looked at my friend's Charge, which is completely stock and loaded up Spare Parts. His phone has Dialer as the #1 user of network, but after 10 hours off the charger (but only 30 minutes of 'display on' time), he still had about 45% of his battery left.
His dialer said that he had used 28 MB of data.
My conclusion is that if his stock phone is using as much data as my ROM'd phone under "Dialer," then the battery drain issue must have more to do with the amount of time my screen is on rather than with the "dialer" being the #1 network consumer.
I assume that "dialer" consumes a ton of data for everyone. Maybe some people could report how many MB their phone has used along with the amount of time their phone has been unplugged. This will give us an idea if there is an error or not.
I also have 7 UIDs sharing, but have the problem on Eclipse ROM. My guess is it's normal for dialer to use this data.
So then, this begs the question "what is 'dialer'" and why is it consuming data? By the way, it consumes data even if mobile networks are off (it just does so at a slower rate).
I froze 'Phone' and use RocketDial as my primary dialer now and I've still got the same problem, guess it's just how the phone apps work.

Screen not turning on (especially during calls)

I have an odd problem. I'm running the latest Whitehawkx MIUI, and sometimes when I push the power button to use the phone, it will flash the unlock screen for a fraction of a second and then go to a black screen. Not that the screen is off, the LCD is running, but displaying black. I push power again, the screen loses power and goes to full black. I push it again, most of the time it works like it should. Sometimes it repeats the problem.
And good god, calls are almost unmanageable. The screen does not turn on when someone calls me, ever. I have to push power, wade through the flash-to-black, and then answer the call.
This has been happening on every version of MIUI I've run, I'm only now getting around to posting a thread about it now.

Yes I am... I never thought of that but it makes sense. I should note that I do not experience this problem on any other rom, just Miui.
I am going to disable set CPU and see if that improves anything though. It's a shame, Tasker can't modify the CPU on this phone, otherwise I'd just have it up the clock speed when a call is incoming.

If you have a screen off profile then it would kick in during a phone call when the screen goes off. I always set up a separate In Call profile for that very reason and give it a higher priority than the screen off profile.

I've already done exactly that, I'm more worried about being able to answer the call in the first place.

Skyrocket lags

i have a new skyrocket , well under my 30 days they replaced it because of screen then over heating issue , this one lags , i noticed the lag mainly in the text massege app, anyone have the same issue or did i get a 3rd bad phone ? my last one lagged as well , just wanna make sure if they got a batch of bad phones?
Try flashing a custom ROM. Ive never had any lag problems.

what LAG are you speaking of.....scrolling?, Loading?, be more specific so others can say if they had/have that problem.
personally i have not seen ANY lag on this phone until i installed Go Launcher<<<
which will will cause some lag.
What I mean is a freezing when I go to my text masseges. It will lock for a second. I only have 3 apps. Nothing in the background running

may just be a glitch sort of thing......unless your last one was having the EXACT same lag with the messeging. i would say load up a ROM or even reflash the stock rom that you have and it may go away.

Thats No lag. It's take a sec or two to open. The cpu needs time to react.

2 seconds to open an app IS LAG......lol
weather its an app drawer or messaging, mine opens in just under a sec everytime..........
but im on a custom ROM and using ADW Ex.
It's not even 2 seconds. It's like it's hanging up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Does it lag during calls and hang up?
That's so weird... as soon as I press messages, it snaps into action and is open before I can even react.
There's something obviously wrong with that one. Try rooting it and running a custom ROM, if that doesn't help, then exchange it.
No lag here.. rooted and stock rom and overclocked... Insane speed..
Well it doesn't do it all the time now. But my.original one did it too. It's way less than a second. It must of been all in my head because everything else works very fast so I think I'll wait till I see my update to the 2.3.6 & go from there.

Problem Fixed . called texh support explained whats wrong & they were very nice even though i was over my 30 days by 3 days , they called a store went off on them because they denied me the exchange & told them to do whatever i want done because they have to make me happy . LOL so i went & said I've had it with the black one & got the white one & couldnt be happier , thank you all for all the help
i think there isn't lag but it's slower coming from an i9100.
scrolling isn't as smooth, and the messaging app is a little funky at times too.
but idk the difference is negligible they're both awesome phones
Flash Sky Ice Cream Sandwich Rom is Amazing!

Missing calls and texts

Not sure what this issue could be. A lot of people say every so often that they call me back to back at times. I get no missed calls notifications. Same with text sometimes. Not sure if its ATT or what. Happens at home and when I'm out. Anyone else experience this?

1. Belongs in Q&A
2. Are you rooted?
3. If so, What ROM, kernel?
4. Did you do a clean flash or you didn't wipe?
5. Check if you have signal it could be just dead areas you're in.
6. If stock, it's probably due to bad signal.

You don't have to unroot or relock it I had a problem with LTE and was fixed getting a new SIM card. They saw that my phone was rooted. So don't do that.

I was having the same issue with calls and voicemails. I called AT&T and they did a reset on their end which did involve reboot on my end but it didn't have any other impact as far as data and root and they then tested the response on the phone and it had improved significantly. This was right around the time Sandy hit.

i had this exact problem.
att first reset my sim card or something via phone support. nothing.
they then replaced my phone with a new one x. nothing.
reset my sim. nothing.
replaced my sim. nothing.
at that point i guess i was SOL. it wasnt happening all the time, but it was happening occasionally, so i just bared with it.
i dont know when i noticed it stop happening and fix itself, but it wasnt till after i achieved root and flashed a different rom that i noticed it gone completely.
i do live in an area that has poor reception for most carriers, yet down the street reception is perfectly fine.
i would miss calls, and not receive missed call notifications. i did not receive texts at times, and wouldnt notice till i was flooded by a few text messages all at once with time stamps corresponding to past few hours. sometimes me using an app on wifi/data would trigger all my text messages to come in at once.
now, i know it wasnt necessarily an issue of reception or service, because during some of those "blackout" periods that i happened to catch, i did have service and would be using my phone for miscellaneous things, then get flooded by texts and email notifications later
hope this helps in some way
