[Q] Caller ID not working - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Hide Caller ID toggle?

Okay, we have times when we want to hide our caller's ID, we don't want our number to be noticed by the call receiving party! Yet it is so much to go through, first hitting the phone button, clicking the options, selecting caller ID, hitting the get settings, and now select provide my caller ID to "NO ONE". Took me like forever, and now I have to select the person's number from the phone book, if I still remember who I was trying to call! LOL
So I know there got to be a way!, Create a Caller ID's toggle, hit it to show or hide caller ID, simply and then select the number you want to dial and you can hide your caller ID.
Anything like that? I know I used to have the simmon's phone back in the days, when I needed to hide a caller's ID, I would just hold the 8 key and it would hide the caller's ID. Now the toggle was assigned to the 8# key, but I think if that is too much to do, why not just have a toggle, just as we have it for the bluetooth or other phone's options.
Is it possible?
Dial *67 and your # not a good enough work around? You can always add *67 to specific #'s you call regularly to not see your callerid.
there is also an option to hide your # when calling someone who is not in your address book
hi, at least in europe you can use this codes to switch the 'CLIR' function of your mobile:
*31# submits your number to the called party on for all calls.
#31# submits your number to the called party off for all calls.
*#31# show the current 'CLIR' state
*31#number to call submits your number to the called party on only for the next call.
#31#number to call submits your number to the called party off only for the next call.
maybe this works for your network also.
Thanks, *67 could be an easy way...but supposed you have a phone number on your PhoneBOOK that just has to be blocked once? And you are driving? and you don't have a pen...some people here are just stupid...I already know that...I am looking for a CALLER ID TOGGLE, if you don't know anything just don't be smart and post anything.

[Q] Verizon GS3 Caller ID problems

Every time i receive an incoming call, the caller ID displays the number in a weird format. ex. +2223334444 (only displays + sign, area code and phone number).
For my understanding, the PLUS sign should be followed by a COUNTRY CODE which is 1. then the area code in PARENTHESIS and phone numbers with a DASH in between. My caller ID is displaying the incoming phone number in a string so that it is not recognized by my contact list.
I am having trouble to fix this issue by adjusting setting, there is no option under PHONE > MENU > CALL SETTINGS > ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
All i have under the additional settings menu are Call barring, Noise reduction, and Fixed dialing numbers.
My Verizon GS3 is rooted and unlocked to use AT&T prepaid SIM. Nothing major got changed except switching the network to GSM. Is that something Verizon has done to cripple their own SCH-i535 version? Any way to get my caller ID back to display the proper format with dash and parenthesis?
Thanks!
Sorry can't help but I'm curious, what do you consider a Major change?

Not sure about stock as I'm running Synergy, maybe stock from Verizon has more or possibly Verizon doesn't allow those options and the videos are from a different version.

[Q] Call problem in stock rom

I have my moto g on android 4.4.4 kitkat and whenever any sim goes in roaming network that particular sim is unable to do any outgoing call only incoming, GPRS or 3G and SMS works, is there any solution for it ? On non roaming network the calling works fine
Try this: go on settings in "Phone" app and check that Caller ID by Google is on, also go on Call settings, then Additional settings and check that Caller ID is set to Network default, tell me if it works:good:

In additional settings Caller ID is set to default operator settings I didn't changed anything, The caller ID is disabled. Its a default setting and still call problem over roaming network exist.

Incoming calls don't show name but the log does?

Hey everyone anyone have an idea of what might cause this? I am with Rogers so name as well as number are sent with caller ID. On a lot of calls, my phone will ring and it will show a number like 416-123-1234 as calling with no name at all. If I don't answer, then the notification bar and call logs will show "Missed Call from ABC COMPANY". Anyone know why it doesn't always show the name when the call is actually coming in and then does later? I don't have any caller ID apps or things like that, and I even enabled google's caller ID feature but still doesn't do it. Most calls will show the name, but just a handful always do this.

Have the same issue. And I don't see the the caller picture.
For the callers that I have in my contacts as well.
I am on Rogers and can confirm the same issue. It happens sometimes, whilst other times I see the company name and picture even though it is not saved in my Contacts.

Caller ID issue

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?

I installed prefixer a couple of days ago... still not fixed. Can you walk me through how you made it work please?
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.
