hi guys, i live in israel.
we have these short numbers for specific companies, like healthcare is *2700, and the bus company is *2800
in previous phones i could always dial them, but now with my new xz1 i can't... i insert the number, press the green button and the number simply dissapear, nothing happens.
anyone else noticed? everything else i try to call works perfectly fine. i had xzr before and i think i didn't have problem calling those, not 100% sure though.
Contact your provider.

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.
I have gotten voip working on my device and can make local calls and get calls with out an issue. However, if I try to call a number in St. Vincent (I'm in the US) the call looks like it is being placed, then dumps me back to the today screen. I can see the call is still in action, the little phone at that top of the screen, but there is no sound at all.
I am able to dial local numbers in 5,7,10, and 11 digit forms; so I do not think it is my dialplan.
Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution? I have included my ipdialplan.xml file just in case that is the issue.
This is one thing I liked in my old Sprint phone. When I get an incoming call (or make an outgoing call), the phone would show the state, and sometimes the city, of the area code. Like it would say 'Texas' for 214. This occurs regardless of whether the number is stored in the phonebook or not.
My question is, is there an app, or can a feature like this be implemented? Any assistance on implementation will be appreciated.
I believe that I have seen an application like this on the Market, but I couldn't tell you the name right now since my Nexus is getting it's power button replaced.
I'll comment back if I can find it again once I get my phone back...
Today I tried to call a customer service number for a business on my Captivate - you know the ones, press 1 for English
Anyway, once I made the call, I figured out how to and pulled up the dial pad within the call and hit the number for my selection... Nothing happened. I tried this multiple times and the computer on the other end acted like I didnt do anything. I tried calling my cell providers customer service knowing they had a similar system, and they too couldnt recognize my key strokes to enter my mobile number.
Has anyone else had this problem? Its like the phone isnt broadcasting the tones over the line while dialing or something. Am I doing it wrong, or is this just a problem my phone has? Very odd...

Mine works fine. I use it everyday to check my work voicemail.
I don't have any issues dialing within a call either.

You're not going home and re-entering the dialer program are you?
The best way is to go to speaker phone so you can hear it then hit dial pad from the call screen.
If you go to the home screen you are still in the call but hitting the phone icon will let you find or edit contacts, but will not broadcast unless you hit the call button but I don't think it will broadcast to the active phone call, it would likely try to start a 3-way.
from the home screen you must return to the call from the status bar.

The problem seems to have fixed itself, as it worked the next day to dial an extension to get a hold of my girlfriend at work. Very odd. My procedure was to dial the number, then while in the call look at the screen and hit the button for "dial pad' which of course brings it up. Then, enter the numbers I needed to enter.

I have had this before on another phone
It was likely because of a bad signal. It was just strong enough to reveive the signal but not strong enough to have your phone communicate to the tower. Thus on the other side of the line they never got the tones even though they were being dialed. Considering it did not happen again it appears this is the most likely cause.
