Caller name does not display

I have just purchase the above PDA (ROM:1.56.721.3 dated 29.08.07) with radio version 1.27.2.11. When I receive a local call from contact, the name of the caller does is not displayed. Only the phone number (7 digits). However, when I receive an SMS, the name of the same caller is displayed. If I remove the country code in the contact number and leave the local number only, then the name of the caller is displayed. In that case, the name is not displayed when I receive and SMS from that contact. Can you please help?

found this on expansys forum : Can you test it and let us know?
I also have found the solution to my problem and it works great. Mine was not due to Contact duplicates, but rather due to a registry setting.
If duplicate contacts are not your problem, all you need to do is get a Registry editor and change the folling entry from an 8 to a 7.
Change the following registry key value to 7 -- HKEYCurrentUser\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch. Restart your pda. That should fix it.
(note: in the regedit, don't click the + next to phone folder, click the the phone folder itself)
This is the link to the the forum thread I found this solution on. https://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2302918&SiteID=65

Cant unblock Caller ID with *82

I set my phone (AT&T Tilt) to block all outgoing caller ID and would like to be able to selectively turn this off by adding the usual #code prefix (usually *82 in the US) to the dialed number. Apparently, once you set the tilt to do this, you can not unblock the number without going back into phone settings and changing this setting. I spoke to AT&T who could not offer an answer or solution and they sent me to HTC who said it is a feature of WM and there is no solution unless the carrier provides one. I am never sure if AT&T support really knows the right answer - has anyone else dealt with this - is there any other code/#prefix that works or any other possible solution
Thanks!

Not sure if the codes are network dependent, but on Vodafone in the UK i dial *31# plus the number to dial. This will show my number for this call only.
HTH

Did you read the manual??? NO!!!!
Go to phone, selectect menu, select options, go to services tab, select caller ID, click get network settings, then select the one you want. AT&T does not support *69 & *82 on the Tilt.

Hey - how do you think I set the device to block caller ID Einstein? How about you read the post next time

(Solved) HTC Diamond Caller ID - problem with MS Outlook .

I hope that I am missing something very obvious ...
I have a Caller Id Problem with my HTC Diamond… And it’s very annoying.
Diamond has two sources for storing contacts.
SIM card and WM Contact list…
---- Default scenario.
/ Caller ID rule: 8 trailing digits for Call ID match
/ Show Sim Contacts: Yes (Note: If you hide the SIM card contacts via registry change the problem remains the same)
----Problem:
/ If the caller information is not stored on the SIM card, you will always have "Unknown caller ID", despite the fact that his info is stored on the device contact list.
So far I couldn’t solve this with the default settings.
Workaround? Its obvious…
You must have all the important numbers stored on the Sim card.
---- My Scenario.
I always used MS Outlook ( now ver 2003 ) as a default contact list.
In my Outlook contact list I have approximately 300 contacts stored with 500 tel. numbers and all the main tables used. (Firs, Last, Company, mob, home, email etc … )
Those contacts were always my default contacts and I never had any problems to use them or sync them with my PPC or any mobile device before.
SIM card contact list is just was always just a “backup contact list” for me.
I did hide the SIM card contacts via reg. change on my diamond because not doing that will result with doubling my contacts and a total mess ( Sim + Outlook ).
Now I can see and dial only from my device (Outlook) contact list and that problem was solved very fast.
The problem remains with the caller ID.
How do I make the Diamond to lookup up for the numbers stored on the device contact list (Outlook list) and ignore the SIM card contacts?
Thanks,
K

I don't have this issue... however the default number of trailing digits to identify an incomming call is 8
Reduce the number of digits with the advanced config tool by schap

I did that tweak first without any positive results for this problem...
Do you have full numbers (country + area code+ 0044123456789 ) in your contact list or just the mob. number.
Anyway, the info that is shown is from your contact list or the SIM card?
Reg,
K

10 digit calling in my area (no country codes) but I set the Call ID trailing digits to 6.
The likely hood of getting this repeat on two numbers is pretty slim.

This problem is driving me nuts!
TEST Scenario.
Test to check if you have the same problem:
You must have a second active mobile phone near you. (John Smith).
Example:
Store the contact (John Smith) from your second mobile on your HTC Diamond SIM CARD and on your Diamond contact list with full numbers. (Country + area etc)
a* John Smith @ your SIM CARD 0044123456789
b* Smith, John (Company name) @ Your contact list: 0044123456789
1. Dial from your second mobile device to your HTC Diamond and see if the phone call is identified as John Smith. (It should be ok...)
2. Now delete a* from your SIM CARD on your HTC Diamond.
Now, dial from your second mobile device to your HTC Diamond device and see if you have “Unknown number – 0044123456789 “. If not, than your device is OK …..
If yes, than you have the same problem …
****************
PS. My Caller ID rule: 6 trailing digits for Call ID match

I don't seem to have this issue... maybe your looking at a hard reset or a defective device... however it is possible that others are having the same issue as you... anyone?

Finally, I gave up and I did my first hardware reset and restored everything to factory settings.
Immediately after that I changed only the reg. Caller ID rule: from 8 to 7 trailing digits for Call ID match.
HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:7
Then I did a perfect contact Sync via MS Active Synch with my outlook 2003.
AGAIN, I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
At the moment there are absolutely no numbers stored on my SIM card. It’s totally empty.
All my tel numbers in my Outlook contact list are stored completely:
Example:
Smith, John
Mobile tel: 0038970123456
When John Smith dials, I get this “Unknown Caller" 070123456 !
I am getting desperate here and I hate this stupid problem....
Anyone has any ideas?
I do need your help!
Thanks!

Is there any way to get the caller number displayed or transmitted as complete code (inluding country+area+local number)...? Maybe this can fix the problem.

UPDATE:
The problem is finally SOLVED... (And probably it's a Full Moon out tonite .... )
After 3 billon visited pages and one billion number combinations, I tried and replaced the first two digits (exit code) "00" with " + " in every tel number on my contact list.
That solved all my problems …
Go and figure what’s the difference and how using the actual exit code instead of a " + " symbol is messing up the caller ID function.
Ah ... What a day...
KraFT
BTW, the Diamond is great so far...

... first I wanted to write that this might be the issue... but then I thought that I wrote it worked before... so I thought I stick with the missing incoming call information first ...
Concrats! Glad you resolved it

Hi!
I have a similar problem. Whenever I dont use country codes, caller id works well showing names but the sms messages dont show any names (only numbers). In reverse, whenever I use country codes with the + sign, names of callers dont show but the sms messages show the names. It seems that I have to choose between calls and sms
Anyone could help?

It didnt work for me, i tried both with 00 and +,,

Has anyone managed to go around this problem? I'm having the similar problem of SMS messages not showing properly if I don't use the "+ area code" with my contacts.

SMS and Caller ID
How can this be such a huge issue when every bog-standard mobile can sort out caller and SMS ID? Is it a problem with Windows Mobile or HTC? I have spent hours trying to sort this on my Diamond 2. I have 5000 contacts and only want the phone to ring for a handful therefore I need caller ID to work AND know who is texting me. I have tried all the various telephone formats and CALLERID reg settings with no consistent results. At the moment I use the long format +353121234567 as the mobile number which - sometimes- ID's texts and the short local format of the number as "assistants" number which allows Caller ID.
BUt I have one important favourite which refuses to ID SMS although if I click on the contact it recognises and names all the SMS's in the thread.
This is absolutely doing my head in and is such a waste of time.
Do all windows mobile or HTC users have to put up with the same?

SOLVED problem with CALLER ID !!!
I have Diamond 2 and synchonized with outlook and it doesn't matter whether country code is present or not, still I had the problem. After all I accidentaly removed all contacts from Diamond 2, BUT I've had a backup from PPCPimBackup (known small utility) a I restored all the contacts (delete and renew all contacts from backup option) and voila, now the CALLED ID is correct! It's now working!
Pls try it...

Caller ID hacking

Is there any software available for TyTn II by which i can change or disable my number to others? Please rep.

settings/ blue phone icon/ services/ caller id/ get settings/ select who you want to see your, some, all, etc... No software required. Hope this helps

Within the UK you can dial 141 before the number.
This way you can set individual contacts as private.

That would be to easy. Don't you have a more complicated solution, or maybe some over priced software you know of that would work?

My phone doesn't have those settings.

They probably need to be enabled via a reg edit or advanced config

depending on the net work there is a code that you can dial in front of the number that would block your number from showing up on the caller IDs of other phones.
ex
for t mobile is #31#
for att is *67
for sprint its normally blocked by defualt
verizon i believe is *67
but if there was a program that would allow you to change or spoof your caller ID among other people it would be nice to have

Software to change your number ...
NO .... but there are services you can use to change how your number appears to others. "It's called Spoofing"
Software to disable your number .... (where are you located?)
No need for software .. chinese chicken's "how to" is correct (if you live in the states.) You also have the option to press the "green dial key" as though you were going to make a call, then "Menu", then "Options", then "Services", select "Caller ID" and hit "Get Settings", and then select either "everyone", "no one" or "only to contacts", and ok. soft reset to ensure the settings will stick. Hope this helps

Question Private number setting

Hi
I'd like some help, on the Asus Z 8
If I want to make a call but want my
Mobile number to show as private were would I find the setting?
Thank you

Go to call app, 3 dots on top left, settings, call, carrier specific, additional settings, sim 1 or 2, caller ID
It is buried there. Hope my English/German translation works for you.
