Caller ID problem

Does anybody else have a problem with their caller ID? I am on t-mobile in the US and sometimes the phone number shows up, sometimes it says unknown. This happens randomly even the same person. One time, their caller id would show up, the other time it'd say unknown.

I'm on Tmobile USA as well and don't have any of these problems.
Maybe try clearing the contacts and sync them again?

I never had caller ID... Though I remember it was one of the "bonus apps" the icon of which was shaped like a gift box.
Given my repulsion to bloatware, I deleted it. Finally, frustrated with the whole lack of caller ID, I finally dropped $6.99 on White Pages Pro (or something like that). Now my caller ID is great and it adds the info if I want to make a new contact. Very nice.

Got a new one at costco...Same problem..wtf. Can it be the sim card or something? Any ideas?

So this is what I mean about the unknown caller ID problem. Unknown callers with a phone number is not the problem. The problem is unknown callers calling me with no phone number. And these numbers are not blocked. I asked my friend to help me test it for me.

This happens on and off WIFI calling and this is my second One S with the same problem. Kinda annoying because I don't know who to call back if I get a missed call.

I've been having the same problem. I took it back to the t-mobile store and they gave me a new one but after a few days the problem came back. I'm not sure if it's the phone or the sim card.

Yes! Thank you! I thought I was alone here. Where are you from? Do you by any chance use an app called screen filter?

Yeah I thought I was the only one having this problem. I'm from around the LA area and no I don't have that app.

I also have the same problem. I am in Foxboro, MA. I called Tmobile and they are telling me it's a network issue. Supposed to be resolved in 72 hours. I'll post back with my results.

I seem to be running into the similar issue. I once resolved it by installing the Rooted nandroid available here, it had gone away so I re installed a custom rom but then after a couple weeks it came back? I read thru the forums that's it may have to do with facebook contacts? I'm trying out the new energy rom now, hopefully it clears the problem

Sweet. I factory reset my one s last night and haven't had this problem today. Don't know whether to attribute it to the reset or t mobile fixing their network. Either way everything's good so far.

I tried factory resetting my phone about a week ago but after a few days the problem came back. I'm hoping T-Mobile resolves this problem soon.

Try Factory Reset and also try clearing Cache/Data in the Phone Application Settings if applicable. Obviously, reboot afterwards.
I'm going to assume you are not rooted.

I did a factory reset as well, but still had the problem. I'll try to clear my Phone data/cache first and also try another factory reset today.
I spent an hour on the phone with Tmobile advanced tech support. They think it's a network issue, but haven't figured out exactly what it is yet.
Another thing, when I have Wifi calling on, my caller id works just fine. Really weird.

I did another factory reset today, didn't update any of the apps, basically didn't touch anything and caller id is still not working.
I am also on the latest OTA update. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
I love this phone, just wish I could tell who is calling me.

So I've discovered a little more from testing this morning. Would be interested to hear if anyone else sees the same thing.
Reboot the phone with Wifi off -> Caller ID works -> Turn on Wifi and Wifi calling ->
Caller ID broken.
Reboot the phone with Wifi off -> Caller ID works -> Turn on Wifi with no Wifi calling -> Caller ID still works.
Looks like the issue might be related to Wifi calling somehow. I'll update Tmobile tech support and hopefully they have some kind of answer.

Ok so after hours of reseting the phone, the settings, wipping everything, re installing the Rom all this over and over, doing nandroid etc... I finally got it to show me the caller ID again.
It was weird because for a while I could get it to show it to me after a new install but then as soon as I'd reboot, It go back to the same thing.
Still confused as far as what is making it hide the caller info. I doubt it's Tmobile network because then I would imagine at least some other phones would have similar issues. then again I don't know because when it started again for me yesterday I was just driving on the road, no settings had been changed (although I had just left my house wifi)
its very confusing

well i am having the same issue. and i have Samsung Galaxy S2. my caller id shows as UNKNOWN

Thanks for sharing. I'm in the bay area in CA. I don't want to jinx it, but I haven't had this problem occur in 48 hours. But I have noticed that it occurs more when new numbers call you for the first time so I don't really know because I haven't had anybody new call me.

[APP][4+] SkipLock Beta - Skip the lock screen (Formerly Unlock With WiFi) 4/17

The app is now live on Google Play.
Thanks to all my beta testers for helping me iron out the wrinkles. I will still post beta versions here when I have new features that need testing.

Tired of entering your password all the time? SkipLock lets you skip past the lock screen when you're connected to a designated wifi or bluetooth device. When you're at home or in your car, your phone is safe and you don't need to be typing in that damn password all the time. When you're connected to your wifi network, or any bluetooth device, you can go straight to the home screen when you press the power button. You can even have it keep the phone unlocked while you're connected to a bluetooth keychain or headset. As soon as the phone gets out of range, it locks.
This is a public beta. SkipLock is a complete rewrite of Unlock With WiFi. Why rewrite it? This blog post explains the reasoning behind it.
Here are the new features in SkipLock:
Pattern and face unlock supported on rooted devices
Completely redesigned Android 4+ user interface
No background service = less memory usage and more reliable
No status bar icon required (but it’s still an option). Tray-only notifications also an option.
If you have notifications enabled, you can now tap the notification to instantly lock the device
Even more cool stuff coming later
Many of the existing features from Unlock With WiFi will also be in the new app. Some of them are:
Automatically turn off wifi when leaving home
Automatically turn on/off bluetooth
Automatically turn on/off sync
WidgetLocker integration
Lock delay has been removed because Android 4+ supports it natively now
If you have a bug to report, press Bug Report in the app's menu. This will send me some diagnostic information that will help me figure out what's wrong. This is the quickest way to get a response. You may post more general questions in this thread, and I will try to answer them, but bug reports sent directly to me take precedence.
SkipLock requires Android 4.0 or above. Root is required for patterns and face unlock. Only PINs and passwords are supported without root.

SkipLock FAQ
The FAQ is now being maintained on my website.

Seems to work fine on my Nexus 5.
Only tested the WiFi setting though, not bluetooth.
Are there any plans to unlock with NFC too? I should be getting an NFC ring soon and I'd love for it to work with that, so when I grab my phone there's no PIN/password but when others get hold of it it requires a PIN/password.

i would love to do that too, but unfortunately, the NFC reader is not active unless the phone is already awake and unlocked. that goes for most phones anyway. obviously, there are some exceptions, like the moto x.

True, but there are plenty of custom ROMs and even xposed modules which allow you to enable NFC with the screen off or with the screen on and the phone locked.
Still, if it's not something you're willing to add, there's nothing I can do to change that. The app works great as it is.

It works!
My phone was locked and by adding my WiFi network as an exception, the phone was automatically unlocked.
I'll test it out tomorrow when I leave my house and when I get back to see if it re-locks when i leave my wifi network/unlocks itself upon reaching my wifi network.

Is this time limited?

I don't know how you did it, but this works on stock rooted HTC One with pattern lock! Your previous app and some other apps do not, but this one works perfectly! When does this beta expire?
Take my money!
Side note: does not work on nexus7 with CM 10.2 (4.3) pattern always shows even when skiplock notification says its unlocked. Going to submit report from app
Thanks for this! I have missed this function since using HTC One. And will use this on my Nexus 5 when it arrives too

Yes, the S3 supports nfc from the lockscreen on some ROMs

My Feedback
Thank you for this great little software. You can also achieve this with software like lama or tasker. But I dont need such big toolkits. So your app fits perfectly on my device.
Here are my thoughts:
* starting an app when a network is in reach - great for car-users to start their favorite mp3-player etc.
* simple geofencing to re enable wifi/bluetooth
* turning on/off different system profiles (so you dont have to take care of all settings...it´s all build into the os)
Keep on coding!

working great on note 2 4.3 keep it up bro!

thanks for the feedback, guys. good to hear it's working! for those who asked, yes it's time limited. the current version will expire at the end of november, but if i feel that more testing is necessary, i will update the app and extend the time limit.

[Q] SIM2 data speed

Huawei reports SIM1 to support 2G/3G/4G and SIM2 2G only.
I wonder if SIM2 may work in 3G/4G at least when SIM1 is deactivated?

yes. some Chinese managed to hack 3/4G for sim2.

More info.
The method involves flashing a custom cust.img. Or replace codes in local.prop.
Then sim1 and sim2 can be switched on an interface that any 1 use 4/3/2G the other stay with 2G.
Does not release more frequencies to any sim.
Does not support both sims on 3/4G. 1 must at 2G.
Update: did NOT work for me. I am on 2.3. Maybe need 3.0 to make it work.

yeah,it works,nice feature.

Can you make a guide so we can try it also?

power off the phone, enter fastboot mode (while holding volume down insert usb cable and wait till fastboot screen appears), flash cust.img from link provided hereinafter using fastboot.exe and restart the phone.
all flashing at your own risk. original thread states it is for b310 and factory resets should be done before and after flashing. I did not do any resets, also I am not on b310 and it works w/o problem

Hi nrpetons,
What ROM are you using? I have the L12 and I want to kick out the original huawei rom and your ROM it what I was looking for

It worked for me also
ROM 5.1.16 dev

I am on some custom chinese based on 5.2.1 for l02.
I believe it will work for l12 with any version of emui 3 roms.

Activate 4G on second sim without flashing cust.img
Important update on this hack !!!
I don`t know much about programming, but this is what I did to activate this option WITHOUT flashing the cust.img provided.
I edited local.prop and added the following lines at the end:
Code:
ro.config.dsda_single_rild=false
ro.hw_sglte_shareantenna=true
ro.lte_gsm_shareantenna=true
persist.radio.svlte_psshock=600,4,1200
persist.sys.dualcards=true
ro.config.hw_dts=true
ro.config.hw_nxp_eeapi=true
hw.npm.asyncntp=true
ro.config.distinguish_hspa=false
ro.config.hw_mirror_chip_v9r1=6
As I said, I don`t know much about hacking, maybe I added some extra lines, but those lines seemed related.
I also copied the file SUPLConfigParams.xml from the above cust.img because it had some LTE, GSM parameters modified. I have added this file to the post.
I confirm that the dual-active function is working.
So , for those with more experience about this, please update the above experience and tell us if there is something we should leave out.

maybe 2 line of codes are resposible
In a post many peaple experimented to change 2 line of codes to activate 4G on sim2. They succeeded.
http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=9563906&fromuid=25626505
in cust\unicomelectric\cn\prop\local.prop
Code:
ro.modem.type=6260
persist.sys.dualcards=true
It did not work for me because I am on 2.3. Has to be EMUI3.0.
@mihaipi one code in your lines. Are you on 2.3 or 3.0?
@Zentachi you can try.
.

@soma, I read that chinese thread. do u understand it that both card should be able to have 3g/4g in same time or one will always be 2g? than it would be just easier way of switching 3g/4g from sim1 to sim2 and vice versa compared to flashing cust.img...
btw, I am on emui 3 and have both lines

I believe it is only to switch with sim card you want to operate on 4G
Maybe later someone will unlock 4G on both sim cards at the same time

Thanks guys, this is indeed very interesting for many users, ie. those travelling often and needing to swap the cards physically often for having 3G connectivity. I can't see why on earth the option isn't built-in in the settings, if it's possible to swap hardware-wise..
I assume root is required for editing those lines. And then simply search that file and edit those lines. Is that it?

I need to be sure before buying the device.
This is a very essential option for people travelling abroad or people who needs to switch off one sim at times (typicallly people who use one sim for work).
I really don't understand why it's not built-in, I am let down by Huawei.

same effect. Only one sim can use 4/3G, another keep 2G. Advantage is that you can switch 2 sims via the interface. Otherwise one need to switch phone off, switch sim cards in 2 slots, turn phone on. kind of burden.

Flight mode and then switch the card then flight mode off, so no need of switching phone off completely. But still it's something you'd rather avoid, especially when the hardware is made for it and Huawei left the option out.. Cause that Sim slot cover looks like going to tear apart..

What's the point in having 2 sim working in 4G at the same time if you can only use data from one sim at time?!?

[Q] Can APN settings now be edited on Lollipop versions?

I purchased this phone on eBay for use on a non-Verizon network (Rogers). Unfortunately, it seems that since the 4.4.3 OTA, APN settings cannot be manually entered, and the network preference list does not work with my SIM card (says it's full with 0 items, exactly like this). I've done a lot of reading, and I've seen lots of people complaining about the same issue, but it seems no solution has been found. Yes, I've flashed custom ROMs like ViperOneM8. I even tried editing build.prop as shown in a very old post here but that also failed. I also even tried to open the SQLite database to edit it manually, but had no luck there either.
SO now I'm wondering if the new OTA has re-enabled this (I doubt it, but I want to ask before I re-sell the phone!).

Hi @skittleys
I'm just as disappointed as you !
I've also tried everything, pretty much the same methods as you. I'm able to use HSPA+ on AT&T network (USA), just like before the f***** update to 4.4.4.
My problems are: no MMS, no group message, annyoing non verizon SIM icon.
For the rest everything perfect, what about you?

Yes.
I tried a CM11-based ROM, and it worked, presumably because CM bakes in a ton of APNs... unfortunately that ROM wouldn't recognize my SD card.
I'm debating flashing an L-based ROM, even though I'm worried about my work apps not working. However, I doubt the APN thing has been fixed...so...I feel stuck.
I really quite like this phone, but it's been such a hassle...

I have LolliGPE flashed on my M8, and it works fine - APN settings and everything. Of course S-Off (SunShine) is required, but it's required in order to get a ROM with APN settings.

Hi,
I'm at my wits end with a Verizon M8 I bought last week on Swappa and brought to Brazil expecting it to work with my carrier here (Claro). In 5 days I've gotten weird results:
First 2 days of voice but no data (with a '?' over a SIM card icon in the notification bar)
Then 1 day of voice and data signal icon flashing up/down arrows, but no actual data connection
Now 2 days of no voice and no data (with an 'X' over the SIM card icon and voice signal icon)
I've talked to VZW for 2 hours total. Their answer: the phone is unblocked.
I've been to Claro 5 times. Their answer:
There is also the possibility that all HTC One M8s are blocked by the Brazilian government communication agency (ANATEL) under some new absurd anti-piracy law, even though the One S, V, and X are approved. However, other M8 owners in Brasil claim they are able to use it here no problem, even on 4G. So I don't get what the problem with mine is.
Is there a custom ROM, Lollipop or otherwise, someone can confirm will let me at least try to configure the APN manually?

Hi,
I'm at my wits end with a Verizon M8 I bought last week on Swappa and brought to Brazil expecting it to work with my carrier here (Claro). In 5 days I've gotten weird results:
First 2 days of voice but no data (with a '?' over a SIM card icon in the notification bar)
Then 1 day of voice and data signal icon flashing up/down arrows, but no actual data connection
Now 2 days of no voice and no data (with an 'X' over the SIM card icon and voice signal icon)
I've talked to VZW for 2 hours total. Their answer: the phone is unblocked.

Further woes might even include the nv settings for the vzw phone not support the bands used by the carrier there.
you cannot edit them manually.. If your new carrier's APN doesn't show up in the list.. you are going to have one hell of a time making it work. Your best bet if possible is to downgrade the OS back to 4.4.2 and try that as you can edit the APNs on that OS.
OR flash CM or a rom that supports manual apn.

I got confirmation that the device is compatible with local carrier band frequency. I've chatted elsewhere with owners of VZW M8s who successfully got their devices to work on Brazilian carriers. (On 4.4.2 coincidentally)

I talked to an HTC rep today who simply advised I try a different chip. I also want to flash a rom with manual APN as you suggest. I can't easily find out which ROMs have that feature, though. So you say CM does, even the latest version of CM?

Yeah.. that's why i mentioned both CM and 4.4.2. Now I can't be certain, but I have heard that some roms like venom have expanded APN support as well. Best bet is to get that think s-off if you can and start doing some trial and error. The toughest part might be getting that thing s-off'd. Can't go any further until you got that.

I've got the phone bootloader unlocked/s-off already, so I'm ready to flash. I would just like some confirmations of roms that definitely keep the apn editing in. From the looks of it, e.g. here, CM12 does not have manual APN settings.

well i use this phone in india on a GSM network. .initially when i flashed the stock 5.0.1 FUU version mobile data wasnt working. .however i was able to add the apn maually for mobile data. .however your sim and network should get detected first as soon as you put the sim in

Anyone try adding the apn build.prop lines from gpe/cm/aosp to the build.prop of a sense rom?

enigma2446 - That's an interesting thought. Can you post the apn lines?

Question Cracking/squealing between phone call

Hi.
Today I ported all my things from P5 to P7Pro and I noticed a very annoying thing.
In every call, after a minute or two there beggins cracking/squealing, like it's a bad connection.
I updated the phone to the latest Android version (screen in att). I tried restarting, with another SIM but the same ...
No problem at all on my P5.
Anyone else facing that?
I'm really disappointed that this disables the basic use of the phone and I don't even know how to start reporting a bug considering I'm using the phone in an unsupported country. :/

Strange one, not something I have nor read anyone else having. I'd suggest you have a faulty handset if you have tried another sim from another sim in it (presumably from another provider).

Yes, another SIM from another provider.

Do you have clear calling enabled? Not sure if it would make a difference, but I did see one or two people report that their connection was worse with it, although for most I think it's better. Not sure they reported crackling/squealing though.

I read about CC, but in my version there is no such option for now. Waiting for upgrade ...

Hello I have the same issue with Italian PosteMobile.
Where are you from?
It starts after 5 or 6 minutes in call.
Same phone but with other operator I have no problems.
Is your operator a virtual one? Full MNVO?

Hi!
Not so great for you and me, but great that I'm not the only one.
I'm from Slovenia.
Hm, strange, so something with operators u think? I'm on Telekom Slovenia, so biggest national operator ...

Idk but I know someone that works for my operator and they will try to understand what's the problem, in theory...
I'm also thinking opting in Beta Android to check if a newer rom fixes the issue.
If I have news I'll post here!

Hm, today I had zero issues up to now.
Yesterday in the evening I took out my primary SIM card, cleaned SIM slot with air pressure ...
I keep fingers crossed!

Same issue here but I only get it after exactly 20 minutes of calling. I'm using kpn Netherlands with a esim . I migrated from pixel 5 also with esim on same provider. I must note that after I disabled 2g calling from the settings that not all calls have the issue anymore.

Same problem here in Portugal after 15m in a call.

I must say that now after testing a couple of days with the 2g slider turned off, 90+% of the calls go without big audio issues. Only sometimes 1-5 seconds long distortion of some kind is left

Hello, problem still present after many updates and now on last beta.
Probably most of you solved it by switching to another operator, but I can't.
I opened an issue in Android Bug Report and discovered through logcat that there are some duplicate received frames.
If you suffer from the same issue I kindly ask you to post in this official issue link to let Android developers know that I'm not the only one with this problem!

Take a look to my answer number 6 to see the logcat :
On a Windows PowerShell:
adb logcat | find "F1:ERR"

If the problem remains unsolved I will sell my Pixel 7Pro, I can't work with this issue (and cannot change operator as it is the professional on that gave me my employer).
Thank you!

Same problem here

Hello, as of today nothing changed, just updated on beta 13 (T2B2.221216.008)
Annoying...

Same problem here!
After about 8 minutes of calling with Postemobile operator (Italy), the call starts croaking! More and more often I receive text messages from people who have looked for me, despite the fact that the phone was always under excellent signal. Postemobile still has VoLTE not enabled on Pixel7.
