I asked this in the Nexus 5 forums, but it may not be a specific hardware related problem
I've gone in and edited contacts and and on the 5 in question its just their area code and phone number as it should be and no addition info in the other fields. However when I call them, it says calling:15627245362718..followed by their actual area code and telephone number.
The call goes through although on these contacts but there's a delay before it starts ringing. Any idea where this string of numbers could be coming from? BTW, its the same string ahead of each contact.
did a factory reset. Same issue. I downloaded the factory image for 5.0.1 and installed. Its still happening. I deleted all my conacts from contacts.google.com and manually re added them. It still happens. But not every call. I can call a contact and it says dialing 1+area code+ number. Then the next time the string of numbers shows up.

On my fuze, I am having an issue with caller ID. When a call or text comes in, it only displays the number, even if the caller is in my contacts. If the contact has a picture associated with it, the picture will pop up, but it wont display the person's name. Does anyone have an idea how to change that?
Answer...
Most of the time this will happen when you don't enter the area code when saving a number. This results in a totally new number in some phones.
Hope this helps
I don't think that is the cause. I don't have any contacts without an area code, and the contact picture pops up when the caller is in my favorites list, but it just displays the number and not the name.
I have a contract with my cellphone company that provides me besides normal cellphone service, unlimited calls to a group of people in my country, all people in that group are identified with an aditional short phone number, so we have two phone numbers in our SIM, the normal one and the short one.
Happens that we use the short number to call ourserlves in the group (we could also use the normal number, but that'd be charged in my invoice as a normal call), but the normal phone number is always shown in our phones as incoming number when receiving a call from the group or outside, and that's how it is saved in call log.
So, in my contacts list, each contact has the two numbers added (I've set the normal phone number as cell phone number, and the short number as work phone).
Now the problem, the way smartdialer in WinMo5 and later work is to show the last call (made/missed/received) of every contact, then contacts list (if contact not already shown before), and after receiving a call from the group in my case the normal number is shown, and there's no way to use the short number to reply, unless I take the long path and go to contacts list and choose the contact and number manually; usually I'm in a hurry and just forget and call the contact using smartdialing and happens that the normal number is dialed.
I had no problem using smardialing with WinMo2003 as there was an option to choose a default number when there were multiples numbers on a contact, so, no matter what number a contact used to call me, when using smartdialing the default number was always chosen, I see no equivalent in WinMo5 or later.
Now, is there a way to replicate that behavior from WinMo2003? (registry/patch/etc.), thanks for taking the time to read.
P.D. the same can be said when we have multiples numbers in a contact (work/home/etc.) and receive calls from some of them but just want to reply to just one of them.
Anyone else yave this problem? On some stored numbers in my contacts when i click on the person it dials an m0111 befoe the regular number. But when i look at the contact before i press call the correct regular number is there. Its only when i hit call it tacks that on. The contacts are verizon numbers also. Ok the M is normal as it means mobile number that is being called. The last 1 in the 0111 is the start of the area code. Ex 1-201-52*-****. I called the verizon and they said it is trying to dial international for some reason....they want me to hard reset i said no im not doing that yet.
I have many contacts with phone numbers that include commas (a comma makes the dialer wait one second), some of which are meant for entry of calling card account numbers while calling overseas, etc. When I turn on Advanced Calling, for every phone number which has a comma, the first comma and everything after it are ignored by the dialer. Someone suggested I use a "p" instead of the comma, but it turns out the phone does not allow me to enter a "p" in the phone number field for a contact.
This makes Advanced calling useless for me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
There was nothing anywhere on the Web regarding this. Went to a large Verizon store and discussed it at length. A later version of Advanced Calling will have this fixed.
I have installed cm 14.1 recently and the problem am facing is that whenever I try to dial any unknown number from call history it never show up. Actually it never pulls up contacts from dialling number I can only or have to type name, if contact is saved. Else, have to scroll through the whole list to look for the number. I tried everything almost but failed to fix. This is the same issue with my friend using Lineage 14.1 on redminote 3. Suppose I got a call from some unknown number 2-3 days ago and I remember that there was 567 in that number and when I try to dial it won't come up. It only looks for saved numbers. I have also tried all the dialers and there is some else going on.
