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?

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.

I hope this hasn't been asked already, I did search and found nothing.
When you lock the phone with a PIN, it will still allow you to make an "emergency call." Is there any way to add a number to the list of allowable calls? Also, is there a way to change the text that pops up that says "emergency phone calls can be made"?
Thanks!

I don't know that
This is set inside the kernel. It is part of the FCC and govt regulations. Dont think you will be able to change it.
Damn, thanks!
Found theese Regkeys in WM6:
HLM/Security/ECall
HLM/Security/EcallWithoutSIM
HLM/Security/ECallWithSIM
Just add your wished numbers to the List, and softreset the device...
Does anyone know how to remove Verizon's "City ID" app from a Win Mobile phone? I have seen lots of talk about removing it from Android phones, but not Win Mobile. There is no entry for it, under Remove Programs.
If you don't know, the "City ID" app adds its best guess as to the originating city and state for incoming calls, and tags the call as such on the display, and in the past calls list.
Verizon charges for this app after a brief trail period. If you dare to not pay for it, it doesn't self-uninstall. Instead, it starts to tag all incoming calls as "Unknown".
Sorry, but I find each call stating its origin as "Unknown" annoying. Besides, I would think the Win Mobile might be able to get the call's origin from an address in the Directory, but I bet "City ID" is blocking/overriding/inhibiting that.
Does anyone have any clue or hints on this?
Interesting, I didn't realize this was a paid app. I got it to work on my GW825 which is running on a different network. I wonder what would happen after 15 days? I'm guessing it would stop working.
Do you still need help with this?

If it simply stopped working, I would not have a problem. The problem is that it continues to work, but returns simply "unknown" as the call's originating city.
I rather have a blank (ie, nothing) than "unknown" displayed.
What happens if you change this to 0?
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Phone\CallerLocation]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
Ok so I've done two flashes today and both have come up with the same result, my caller ID shows Unknown name, Unknown number for all calls??
Here is the ICS rom I'm running now but I can't post in that forum because I'm a newb.
Has anyone else seen this yet? Or have I done something wrong? I have searched and can't find anything specific to this phone.
Also, if I go back to the original Gingerbread the numbers come up as they are supposed to.
Sorry, please ignore this... got home and tried with a different number and it's working now?
Delete this thread at will
I'm actually seeing this as well - sort of. When a contact calls, it displays caller ID correctly. When someone not in my contacts calls it shows up as unknown. HOWEVER, my Any.DO app has functionality for missed calls (you can add a missed call to your task list to call later or ignore) and when that pops up I see the phone number of who called.
Weird...
when you go home, you probably connect to your home wi-fi. the app only works and does a "reverse lookup" whenever a data connection is working properly.
however, if the data of location is already stored on your contacts from previous SUCCESSFUL data reverse lookups, your phone will pull that information first if no data connection is available.
Strange... so I flashed the Alien ROM last night and all was good nunbers all worked etc. So just for kicks I've flashed back to the ATT rom and it's not working again.
all numbers just come up as Unknown (no number at all, just the word Unknown). I'm wondering if it simply takes some time for the networks to sync or something?
I'm gonna leave it on for a while and let you know what happens.

Are you using the built-in City ID app? cuz if so, it still requires a DATA connection.!! Wi-fi or Data. Without it, it will return "unknown". UNLESS it has been manually entered and/or retrieved from a previous session....
are you not understanding? I felt like I just repeated myself lol.

Thanks for that... I do have a data connection, both WIFI and 4G/LTE from my provider...It still doesn't work. I have no idea what you mean by a "City ID" app. Is there something I've missed?
I should also mention that this has NOTHING to do with my contacts. ANY call either a number I have in my contacts or a number that is not in my contacts, neither show up at all. When I get a phone call the screen goes black and I see the word UNKNOWN at the top and then the answer or hang up buttons at the bottom.
i am also facing the same issue
Found a reason behind the problem in another forum, have a look here
Its not the perfect solution but it does work and it means you have to call Rogers.

Naw that doesn't work for me, I don't have name display. It does that regardless, unless I spoof tbe caller id and then I work fine. I think rogers has a specific format that they detect for caller id and if it doesn't match then you get nothing.
I can't share how to spoof caller id because I have my VoIP company and so there certain things that I can do which otherwise isn't doable.
Basically the phone that's calling has to format the number in international calling string. +1 999 999 9999
Or the receiving phone has to change it to that since caller id works as a two step thing.

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?
Hi, I received and start using my galaxy watch 4 couple of days ago. However, I noticed there are no called ID shown on the watch when receiving incoming call. Missed call will show the caller name. I have checked all the permission are allowed for the wearable apps and phone app, contact app and etc. Didn't found much info around.
I tried many methods including factory reset the watch but still not fix it.
I tried remove the country code of the contact number on my phone. Finally it works, showing the caller ID on the watch when receiving call. But I have thousand of contacts with the country codes add infront of the phone number. It's massive work to remove all the country code one by one. Any one have any idea on what happening. I'm lost and could figure out what's the problem.

And I have a similar one but with SMS Samsung. Only the sender's number, but no name (all people from the phone book). At the same time, SMS Google displays the name correctly ...
