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.
I have a new Samsung Galaxy S6, running 5.1.1. For a week, incoming and outgoing text messages have been registering correctly in the call log. As of today, texts are no longer registering in the call log (but they appear in the message log) and no previous texts are listed. I have spent quite a bit of time looking online for an answer - no luck. I would appreciate any help.
Best and thanks,

Go to recovery mode and wipe cache.

Thanks, but that did not work. Any other suggestions?
Try a full reset. Your problem may also be due to a rougue app. I hope this helps.
Nope, still did not work. Still not recording incoming or outgoing text messages in the call log.
Surely a 'call log' is for calls, therefore SMS messages aren't included?

I would agree but the oddity is that text messages were included in the call log (the log indicated that the contact was an SMS) for about a week and then they disappeared. I would like to restore that function.
Text not recorded in call log
Hello Ubi100,
I am glad I found this thread. I have owned a GS6 edge for exactly 3 days just because of this problem. I am a "veteran" user of the galaxy s line and the GS6 is the first one that does not show text messages in the call log. My GS6 edge running 5.1.1 did not show at any time sms in call log. I have also installed 3rd party apps for call log and it did not help. The GS4 and GS5 running Lolipop have no issue with this and they show text messages in call log , so I don't think that the software version is the problem. So please tell me that you found a way to fix this issue.
Thanks

Hi Forum_user,
Alas to no avail. I have spent a great deal of time online looking for the solution to this problem. I have never found anyone who has a direct answer to this exact situation. I have followed everyone's general suggestions but still no luck. No record of text messages in the call log.
The only thing that I can guess is that my phone was delivered with Lollipop 5.0.2 on it. With that version, the text messages showed in the call log. When I upgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1, the text messages disappeared from the log.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know if you find anything else out.
Thanks,

Same problem. I think it is extremely convenient to hva both the cal and the SMS log in one list. I often answer calls with a SMS and vice versa. With a combined list as it was before I had god control whom I answered and whom not. If somebody has a solution to the problem I would be thankful.
Did anybody ever find a way to fix this? I'm dealing with the same thing on my gs6. It showed for about a week in the call log and now it doesn't. And I can't find anything online about what to do.
Yes. I too am a long time user of the galaxy series. Until the s5 the call log and message log was unified. Which does not seem to the case in s7. The new scheme is not convenient and is a feature downgrade in my view.
It's exactly the same on the S7, A royal pain & a massive step in the WRONG direction, even if they add it back in as 'activity log'
I use my S7 and miss the combined message/call log alot I stumbled in here seeking a solution. Hopefully a future upgrade will bring it back!
All of a sudden today when I try to intiate a text or call to a contact via S Voice on my S2 the watch doesn't seem to be able to find the contact. I get a message "Not found. Who would you like to text instead" or "Not found. Who would you like to call instead". Other commands like asking time or even making a call to a nearby business. But it won't call or text a contact!!! Anyone else seeing this behavior?

MIne doing the same...any help would be appreciated.
Same here
Sent from my SM-G930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Try a reboot
All incoming calls from people not in the contact list show caller ID name as "Restricted", despite the phone number being available. Sometimes the incoming number is displayed, sometimes it's not, depending on where the incoming call is shown. The number is always available in call history, and the caller's location is displayed. This is a huge headache, since some of us don't care for answering blocked callers.
This is not a carrier issue, but a glitch in the way the phone interprets the caller ID information.
Has anyone come up with a workaround or fix yet?
Same issue here. Quite frustrating.

I thought it was related to me having the google dialer framework installed.
Now I know I'm not alone. Yeah, pain in the butt.

Hi guys, when someone is calling me on my new Huawei Watch GT 3 on WhatsApp, first it appears a quick notification screen with the contact name and whatsapp logo on top, and under it it says incoming voice call, but after one second that screen switches to another one where it says Unknown number and I have the option to reject or answer the call. How can I fix this issue? I want that when somebody is calling me on WhatsApp to be able to see the name of the contact on the watch too and not just "Unknown number". On normal calls it's good without problems. Thank you!
I have the same issue but no idea how to fix it.
It is working perfectly only if the watch is paired with an....IPhone.
I have same issue
I am having the same issue with amazfit and huawei GTR 3. Is it related to Samsung phones? I am using Samsung S23 Ultra with my watches.
