I have put country codes in all my contacts (local and international).
When I get a call from any local number, it won't show the name, just the number without the country code. (i.e. the number will not be matched to my contacts)
If I get a call from an international number, the phone will show the name and the number.
If I remove the country code from my local numbers, it is matched to the contact.
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a solution to this problem?

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?
I cannot dial the local numbers that I have in the contact list. All my contacts phone numbers have been made on the PC with outlook and then sycronized them on the Kaiser. All the numbers have been made selecting the country code in outlook and appear in the format +country code then (areacode) then number. Unfortunately I can only dial the international ones and not the local. When I dial the local numbers a AM says that the number has not been assigned. The same number dialed via Skype works just fine.
If I remove the +sign and leave the 1 (I am in Canada) the number dials no problem. Same thing if I dial just the area code and number.
The problem is driving me nuts. I cannot make 2 set of contacts one for Skype and one for the regular calls. I also travel a lot and I need to dial the numbers from different countries without have to change anything.
I looked on the net for suggestions but did not find any answer.
Any help is much appreciated

Here's an interesting thing that's happening with my Cappy. I live in Brazil and have one specific carrier as my carrier of choice, let's call it Carrier A.
For some reason my the SMSs my wife send me do not get grouped together with the ones I send and she's from Carrier A as well. Now here's the facts:
- On the contacts, my wife's number is 0418862xxxx (italics is the area code - the 0 is just to mention that it is a long distance cal) / So when I send her a SMS, that's the number that shows up
- When I receive one of her SMSs the number that I have is 021418862xxxx - the bold number in this case is the service used for long distance calls (which, incidentally is the service # provided by Carrier A)
My brother's number from Carrier B is stored in the same manner, 0419911yyyy but when I receive his SMSs they arrive with the number +55419911yyyy - bold is brazilian international code. BUT, now the messaging app is able to group the messages correctly - This also happens with contacts from Carrier C and D.
If I actually open the message (not the grouping) and check the details for it, it does mention that it was received from my wife (so it IS able to check that it is her number after all)
Did this make sense and anyone has an idea?

I have Nite 5 SM-N9208 Dual Sim and all my contacts from google account
Whenever I receive an incoming call, half the time the the caller ID doesn't work and only numbers are shown.
plz some one can help me to fix it
I had this issue with my dual SIM note 4.
I don't know the reason for the inconsistency but I suspect it's the carrier's settings on different cell towers (might be wrong)...anyway, you just have to save the number in the different formats under the same contact.
e.g. john doe -
1) 555-5555
2) (3 digit country code)-555-5555
3) +1-(3 digit country code)-555-5555
Strange that dual SIMs aren't 'intelligent' enough to recognize that they are all the same phone number.
This problem seems to be as old as Android itself.
A little searching and it looks like the problem lies in the number matching required in the different ROM's
Contacts are stored within Contacts Provider. One of the attribute for contact is a "min_match"
attribute which stores a part of the whole number (from right to left) that has to be used when matching Caller ID to
contact. The length of the min_match attribute is defined in the telephony framework.
It is good practice to keep the MIN_MATCH length to max 7 (typically it takes 6 numbers from the right
+ 1 number from local prefix - for our example above min_match would be: 2xxxyyy
However, some official ROMs have the MIN_MATCH constant too high making it impossible to match
numbers stored in local format to full caller ID received from operator. (It was 11 in my case!!!)
(+421 902 xxx yyy != 0902 xxx yyy)

Most of the solutions require root which i don't have right now, leaving the only solution to have 2 phone No entries for each of my contacts.
Hoping someone can come up with something a little more slick!
I have noticed this issue, when I receive a call from one of my contacts, it adds a country code to the number ringing me and their name doesn't come up.
The only way I have found to fix this is to delete the +44 at the start of the number and just put a 0 instead. I would have to do this to all my contacts which would take too long.
Any ideas?
