I have a tytn 2 that was bought in the UK and is branded vodaphone. I live in aboard and the strangest thing happens. I'm I a counrty called X, if I have a friends number who lives in X stored in the contacts without the country x dialing code the phone recongises the person and displays the name. however if get a text message from the same person the phone doesn't recognize the person. If I have the contact stored with the country dialling code the phone recongises the text message but not the incoming call. Also the phone has a country X sim card in it. Can anybody shead some light on this cause its driving me nuts, I didn't have this problem before in the same country with my previous tytn 1.

Hello, i just want to ask did your caller ID software working smoothly? Mine sometimes run greaat but sometime didn't recognize caller even i have safe it and edit the pict, ringtones etc...
How about better software, anyone know?
For some reason, my Alpine doesn't show the caller's name correctly unless I do this:
As my phone is on O2, anybody in my address book who is also on O2, I have their number in as "07xxx xxxxxx" (where the Xs are their number, all mobile numbers in the UK begin 07). However, anybody who isn't on O2, I HAVE to have their number in the international +7xxx xxxxxx format, otherwise their name doesn't show up when they ring me.
I don't know why this happens, and I've not been able to figure out a workaround, and this has happened ever since I got my first XDA (I've had two), and I've done a couple of hard resets and fresh reinstalls and this still happens.
So yeah, that's what I had to do to get my caller ID working properly.
I am also on O2 and have all my numbers in international format but occasionally the device is just slow looking the number up.
It will display the number for a few rings then show the name. Of course I don't know if it always finds the name because sometimes by then I've answered the call.
Yeah, I have that problem too - the number only comes up after a few seconds if I don't have them in the right format for the person calling (depending on what network they're on) - by which time they've usually hung up or it's gone to voicemail, so meh.
Hm it's strange, for me i didn't wotk to set international format, it just show the number. And there is a funny thing, i run my caller ID and just look around, then i did soft reset. after that it will show the name and they personal photo etc. but after i soft reset again it didn't work again? :?
Any one know the other program wich do same function but does they job better?
Thank for all.
Ermm.. maybe u could try to download O2 plus...
when most people call it only displays the number, rarely anyone has the caller ID. i think theres only like 2 people in my contact list that it has their name.
so most people call and it just shows a number, i dont always know who it is.
ive already done the following:
added my country area code and city area code to each contact.
flashed multiple roms (AT&T, HTC, Duty's)
switched from using 3G to Edge and GPRS.
has anyone else experianced this?
I'm guessing they are on the sim? Had the same exact problem and it got really annoying. I had to go and edit every single contact that didn't have the are code. That's what you have to do. It's weird because on the 8525, you don't need that.

so you had to give all your contacts area codes? did seem to make a difference for me. if i gave someone an area code it still didnt show when they called.
Exactly. Had to do it for all that didn't have an area code.

Yeah I notice this a lot living and working overseas.
Some cell networks send the caller ID as a full international number and some send it a local number (as they do here).
Best way I found of is to edit the numbers in Outlook contacts on the PC as it will prompt you for the correct country and area codes into the standard (MS-US) format ie +971 (xxx) xxxxxxxx and the phone then seems to start recognising them.
The problem has been that the Kaiser does not dial local numbers with the + sign in front. The problem occurs with prepaid Rogers service in Canada only and probably occurs to all Kaisers (2 for sure). In fact Rogers and Fido monthly plan SIM card work just fine. HTC has not helped and nor has Rogers who claim that the phone is "not supported". The problem is in the Kaiser though. The prepaid sim card that creates the problem in the Kaiser works just fine in any other phone including Rogers HTC Touch.
I start hating my phone, too many problems with no solution in sight.

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
Cheers

i have a t mobile mda i have lots of names in the contacts and on the sim card when people ring me its fine the phone locates the persons name and displays it texts however seem to come in starting with +44 nd then the number so it does not
how can i make it so the phone tells me who is texting
I have a question regarding Caller ID.
Over the years with CallerID feature I always thought that caller's name & phone number would display even if it is not in my contact list. It would only show the phone number of the caller. That is how it has been ever since I had cellphone.
Previously I had HTC Magic and even that phone would only display the phone number only for callers that was not in my list.
Now not too long ago I purchased a Bell's Samsung Galaxy S i9000 which was rooted and already had JPK running. I currently have it running on Rogers Wireless Network. Sure enough even with this phone only callers' number would display.
Few days ago I actually flashed back to the stock firmware for this phone, which is JH2 firmware. I was suprised to see that phone would now display the name of the caller! +obviously the number, even if it was not listed on my contacts! (I actually received a call from wrong number). What is more shocking? was that I used my Skype(PC) to do a test call and as usually it would display with funny phone numbers like 01234567, etc... BUT! it literally displayed my Skype(PC)'s user name !!
So my question is, what is required to display the unknown callers name? and not just the number as usual?
I am sure it is not hardware based but up to the phone's operating system?
Could someone explain this to me?
Thank you.
Firmware aside
one thing i do know, is that there are 2 Caller ID services now in day in all Canadian/USA telcos (not sure about internationals)
the standard old caller ID if paid or included in your plan, you will always get the phone number of the person calling you, unless the dialing person brocked it.
the NEW caller ID which is usually an extra fee to enable or included in your plan, will show your the caller ID name (even if it's not in your address book) if it's not broked
so from your experiment, it appears that some firmwares are missing the support for the NEW caller ID feature
