Let's say I have a fixed line phone, say 2xxxxxxx1. I have set this phone to forward all calls to my Moto G, say 9xxxxxxxx2. Now whenever I receive a call that was forwarded, I see two numbers in the caller Id. Say the original caller was 9xxxxxxxx3, then I see the caller id as 9xxxxxxxx32xxxxxxx1, i.e. the actual caller's number, appended by the number that forwarded the call to me.
I understand this can be a great feature to know the actual caller and the forwarder. But, it does not go well with the contacts and apps like True Caller. Also It becomes a pain to quickly save the received call to contacts.
Is there a way I could completely get rid of the forwarder's details from the caller id? Does it happen on all android phones? Is it specific to Moto G, or the OS it is running? Can it be carrier specific? Does anybody know an app that could override the default phone app and provides what I want?
PS: I am having a Moto G Dual Sim in India, running one SIM on Loop carrier, same issue when I tried a Tata carrier. The fixed land line that forwards to my Moto G is run by MTNL

htc one x att when you have a contact that has multiple entries such as example john and in it you have mobile number and house number. When you receive a call from John it does not specify from which type it comes through, it just says john and the number and not mobile or home or whatever description you gave the number. This is a really annoying issue. I have had quite a few smartphones and they all had that feature. Am I missing something in the options or is this something that is gonna be added .
Hi to all I'm using the 4.36C ROM for Motorola XT532 and i have problem with the call ID.
Im from Buenos Aires, Argentina (area code 011) and i use the phone in english (not so much options).
Here when i receive a phone call the number is 11xxxxyyyy, but when i recieve a sms the same number is 011xxxxyyyy.
My old chinese dual sim phone can handle this diference and shows me the contact. But the XT532 only show me the contact if the number is exactly the same.
If i save the contact with 011..., i cant see the contact name when it call me, but i see correctly the SMS from it.
If i save the contact with 11..., i see the number in the SMS but not in the calls.
If i save the contact with +5411..., nothing works.
What part of the phone handle the contact matching? ContactsProvider?

I got the KT TECH TAKE LTE KM-E100 korean android phone
however, there are some some bugs:
P1. unable to send SMS over 130 chars
P2. incorrect font of unicode message when send to another devices
P3. doesn't show the name of caller in the contact book while phone ringing
For the P3, it seems E100 doesn't smart search in the contact book. To make a caller name show while the incoming caller, the phone number of the caller must be have number only, without any space, plus (+), hyphen (-) ...
when we add new / sync contact, we must manually make the phone number with the above rules.
does any one have experience about these problem? Please share
thank you very much

I use my Google Voice number as my main phone number. Recently, I've been getting telemarketers calling my carrier number (T-Mobile).
When the call comes in on my phone, from what I can tell, there's no way for me to know if it's going to my GV number or my carrier number (the only way I can tell is checking my GV app afterwards). I'm looking for a way to have the phone automatically reject or block all incoming calls to my carrier number or to just have the phone not ring/vibrate when a call comes in on that number.
FWIW, my device is a OnePlus One and I'm running Android 5.0.2
