Hi,
I have several contacts that have numbers containing P (the pause), mainly for dialing through voip services providing cheap international calls such as dialnow.com or nonoh.net who provide a landline number that you can call from your mobile
The problem is that the phone does not match the full number with the contact, it only matches the first part up to the P. What I mean is, I have multiple numbers starting with the same landline, then P, then their number, like so:
0123453335P078127493041# - Foo Bar
0123453335P078924134212# - Joe Doe
0123453335P...
You get the picture. What happens is that the phone always identifies any of those numbers, regardless of which I call, only as "Foo Bar" (or which ever is first in the contacts list). It's quite annoying as it gets registered as Foo Bar everywhere: e.g. in the call history, while the call is in progress etc and only the first part of the number is displayed. Another problem is that if I use this kind of contact as a favorite in the People page in TouchFLO 3D, and I try to call it straight from the People page, then only the landline number is dialed, the part with P and the rest of the number is not sent at all ...
I would like it to be able to do a full match on the number, not just the first part up to P, so that it appears correctly in the call history, during call and to be able to call such a number from the People page in TouchFLO 3D.
Any fix for this?
Cheers
bump?
anyone has any idea of what I could try at least?
would a different dialer work? anything?
so many replies ...
I have found a workaround myself ... if you replace the P with a , (comma) then you will get a full match; maybe someone else wants that behaviour.
I have the same problem but no luck with comma...
What have you done? one number with p and the other with comma? that should work but if we have more than 2 ...
By the number of answers you got... i'm sure it will be complicated to solve this one
I solved this problem by sticking a space before the p
P works for me. I use it with a prefix number for 0800 numbers so that the call is part of my free mins.
Just spotted that you use a capital P. I use a small p. Might make a difference.
Thanks everyone.. it looks like that this depends on the dialler program used.
For me that solutions were not working but then I've updated my ROM (with new dialer) and it started to work.
Thanks a lot.

Hi! I am looking for a call filter program that can filter all unwanted or no number incoming calls, I tried photo contacts pro but its slow & sometimes the caller can't hear anything for 1 to 2 seconds repeatly during the conversation. I also tried MagiCall, this program is simple & nice but it can't hang up the no number calls, instead it will pass these calls to my voice mail box directly. It has a option "pick up/hang up", this works what I want but will waste the air time. So anyone can suggest a call filter program to me that can directly hang up the no number calls? Thanks!
Call Firewall
thanks for your reply, I've seen the features of this program but it doesn't mention it can block no number call or not? Do you know it has this feature or not? Thanks!
uh, sorry, can't help you there. I only HAD this program in some of the ROMs I used, never actually USED it.
And auto-rejecting no-number calls would have killed it in my book anyway, because the phone central in my office randomly removes id from outgoing ones, and so I would never receive business calls, lol.
Ask around, or better yet, try searching the forum for impressions/reviews. I know Laurentius26 uses this app in some (if not all) of his ROMs.
[EDIT]
That's what I found in the description:
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
Besides, there is a check window for "Reject unknown/private calls"... I'd call it a YES, then
CallBlock
I use callBlock from WISH solutions to block a list of callers. It works well and it does not have to answer and hang up.They mention that it can block no number calls but I have not tried it for that. Here is the link:

Good luck!
Just tried the Call Firewall, it can block no number calls, but transfer the call to voice mail box directly. Anyway thanks for your suggestion
actually, this CallBlock looks like it offers a few ways of blocking the call... See picture at this address
Block method: dropdown list... Wonder what's in there? researchermd, can you check and let us know?
call firewall works just fine. I use it to block unknown or private numbers.
In addition, you can use your network settings for call barring and block numbers that aren't in your phonebook if you want the extra security of blocking numbers.
The screen you provided should be "CallBlock Ringtone Edition" which is make for palm. For the PPC version, there has no such option can be found
Any one having my problem:
My Diamond is not recongnizing phone numbers from my contact or basically the caller ID is not working for some reason. Help - this is really annoying......
Thanks in advance
I didn't receive my diamond yet but from previous experience with some phones it s a matter of recognizing the number of digits in a phone which is country dependent.... like the iphone for exemple ... i had a terrible experience with that ... I had to put for each contact two numbers , one with the country code (+212 .....) and a second without... that way he could recognize the incoming caller ID in both calls and sms....
you should try doing that and tell us if it works!!!
By default it matches on the last 8 digits of the phone number. If phone numbers are less than 8 digits in your country then it may not work properly.
You can use advanced config to edit the number of digits.
It would help to find related issues on this forum, in stead of opening new topics. Every day a full new page (or more) of new topics appear, lots of which are duplicates.

Supplying people with more information would also help to solve the problem easier. Which ROM, what exactly happens and when... etc.
as soon as the call connects the stored name number appears
not a major headache but id like to know who im speaking to b4 i answer it
anyone help on this one cheersy alll ??
If you would like to see picture comes with the contact, or big pic in the caller ID, u can use Inesoft phone (not free) , or other programs...
ideally a name would help ive got that many numbers stored i cant remember them all is there another option to inesoft??
i was kinda hoping it would be say sony ericsson based and show you both names and numbers whilst receiving a call but it does'nt
Before the flame I did search this:
The following errors occurred with your search:
1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
Lets say you click on your phone tile, and it brings up your past calls,
If you called a person, then they called you back and then you called them and then you called them back, it shows the 4 separate events for that one person listed out.. which makes a long list and a call you made that you need to remake earlier in the day not even show up.
How can we get it to combine similar numbers into one showing that you can click on and see the full list of calls made with that number instead of it already being listed out.
Hope this make sense.
Which brings me to my next question, why does it show so little calls? HD2 you can go back almost 4 days worth of calls, and it minimized the history library to last transaction stored and then u get more details.
I know I know this is a basic OS with nothing on it, to make it so minimal that you can make 1 call a day and then use it as a Ipod the rest of the time,
But besides that has any one found a way?
Agreed with you on combining the call. They should also add categories for missed calls, calls from contact list, incoming/outgoing calls etc, Most of the times I just want to know what calls I have missed.
Good question, however in its current iteration that ffeature doesnt exist.
Hi.
I have just moved from a Huawei P9 Lite to the Nokia Pureview 9 and when I am dialing a number on the keypad, the Pureview has a very annoying behavior.
The phone has a list of recent calls and also the contacts list.
If I have dialed a number some hours ago, it is no longer at the top of the recent calls list. So I start to type the number on the keypad. However the pureview only searches through the contacts list for similar numbers, and not both the contact list and the recent calls list. That really sucks, since I then have to enter the entire number manually, instead of just the first 2 or 3, and then pick it from the list of suggestions.
Is there any way to make the Pureview 9 include the recent calls list in the search for similar numbers, when starting to enter a number on the keypad?
I have not installed any dialers. I am just using the one that was on the phone when I got it.
On the P9 Lite it was a breeze to just enter the first 2-3 numbers, and then pick the number on the list that came up with numbers containing those numbers.
In my opinion this is a big step backwards.
And no, I don't want to add everyone to my contacts, since many of the people, are ones that I will not be calling again after a job is done.
Thanks in advance.
