In here we use ten digit mobile numbers (excluding the ISD code) and there is no dash or gap in between, but with Moto X obviously there is number formatting, callers number look like XX-XX-XXXXXX, both in dialer, SMS app, everywhere basically. It's okay with the saved contacts I have but for unknown numbers it's very awkward and hard to remember at one look. So I was wondering if there is a way to remove this stupid formatting? It will be really great.
I remember in Samsung there was some sort of CSC file editing used to do the trick, but no idea about X.
Thanks in advance.
PS : The model is a XT1052 btw.

Hi all,
I got my spv m700 today. I have unlocked the sim and cid. I then flashed a new rom onto it. The only problem I have is my contacts, they are all on my sim. The thing is most of them have their numbers missing. Anyone got any ideas to help me.
Thanks in advance
Are you sure the numers are missing?
Look at each contact and see if the number is in a different field to the ones you are used to looking at / seeing.... if you see what I mean
Yes I know what you mean. I have opened the contacts and there is absolutely nothing there but their name. Out of 47 contacts I have all the names but only 3 with their numbers
eeeeerrkkk
have you checked your old phone to see whats in there? You might get lucky, but looks / sounds like you lost the lot
Has anyone discovered a way to get WM6 Pro to recognize phone numbers in calendar entries, and make them clickable links? It seems that the smartphone version has the functionality, but the Pro/PocketPC version does not. Pretty lame, if you ask me.
Anyone think it's possible to create a cab/utility that enables it?
You can enter tel:123-456-7898 in the notes area and it will create a link similar to smartphone.
Still looking for something like this for the location line in the calendar.

I tried this and it doesn't seem to want to call. Any tips? It sounds so simple it is hard to see how I could have mucked it up...
I have had to enter a space or a hard return after the telephone number to get the link to work.
I desperately need this too!
Is there a utility/hack out there that will do this? As the original poster said, this is available on Smartphones! I can't believe MSFT didn't implement this!
While I'm at it, how about a feature that can detect Access or Pass codes for teleconferences? In other words, if the number appears as 1-866-000-0000 PC:12345 it should automatically dial 1866000000,,12345#
This is basic stuff that this OS should have... What a downer.
If you type in 'tel:' directly before number you should see the link, eg. tel:123765887
Hello,
Does anyone have any tips on configuring phone number formatting within contacts? I noticed that a few have parenthesis around the zip code while others do not. The problem with this is that when I start typing in their number, theirs does not show up since it starts with a paren instead of a number. Example
Number: 5551234567
Shows in contacts as: (555) 123-4567
Dialing "555" results in nothing
Number: 4441234567
Shows in contacts as: 4441234567
Dialing "444" results in this number being listed in the filter
I've tried deleting the paren's in the contact's phone number, but hitting ok just resulted in it being formatted again with the paren's. Any tips? Thanks.

I always edit the phone numbers in Outlook. That is the only way I know of.
you can try to set your regional settings to English(Australia) which will remove the "()"
interesting idea
Interesting workaround, will it affect anything else? Adversely or otherwise?
What ROM are you running? I have all my numbers stored with parentheses, and my contact names start filtering themselves as I am dialing the area code.
Rom info:
version: 1.62.502.0
date: 01/17/08
Is there something newer out there? Where do I get it? Thanks.

Have you made any upgrades to your phone since you got it? If not, then I would suggest reading the Kaiser Wiki in depth and then deciding on which custom ROM you want to run. I have tested 30+ custom ROMs since I got my Tilt last October, and I have not had this issue with any of them.
In addition to fixing this issue, custom ROMs also perform much faster than standard Operator ROMs.
I just received it a week ago so I haven't done much. I admit, I've been a little wary of trying any ROM's out, but I'm always looking for "faster" so I'll definitely look into it.
For the moment though, it just seems really silly that a parenthesis is such a pain the a.
Hi all, I've been using my hero for a few months now and really loving it. Its a big big step up from my earlier nokia E51.
I had a constant complain with symbian, which I'm hoping can be solved on android. I want to be able to use my contacts nicknames. I should see the nickname when I get a call, I should be able to search contacts using just their nicks. But of course I'll have their full names entered in the DB.
Also, any way to give custom labels to multiple phone numbers, instead of the default work, mobile, home, etc? And any way to make these labels show up in the caller-id screen, instead of the actual phone number?
e.g. it should say " Dad - Delhi Office landline" instead of "John Doe - 123456789"
TIA
Happy new year to all
Doesn't anyone else care for nicknames?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to change the defaut split pattern used for phone numbers in the Galaxy S (contacts, calls, etc).
Here in Brazil we use phone numbers just like in USA, following the pattern:
AAA XXXX-XXXX , or AA XXXX-XXXX or even only XXXX-XXXX
(AAA = Area code, and XXXX-XXXX = phone number).
But my phone automatically splits the numbers in a terrible way, like:
AAA-XXX-XXXXX, or AA-XXX-XXX-XX
Is that the default pattern for Europe? (I have the Euro I9000 unlocked model)
Does anyone know any means to change or even remove this split pattern?
Thank you sooo much!
Paulo
I would love to know this as well! Here in the Philippines we split cellphone numbers like this: 09XX-XXXX-XXX or 09XX-XXX-XXXX or something to that effect. The first 2 X digits are operator dependent. My friends who play with my phone always find it so odd and the obsessive compulsive in me doesn't like how it's displayed either!
Would love to find some sort of quick fix to this! Oddly enough, this only happens when I add contacts manually by typing in their numbers. The one's I added by just using the add to contacts option when they text me with a new number display as a single block of numbers instead! Not as bad as the odd splitting my phone does by default, but I'd still prefer splitting the numbers appropriately. It looks better that way in my humble opinion.
My Galaxy S is from Singapore.
Sorry for the bump.
But can anyone help us with this?
Is it CSC related?
Or maybe there is a secret code to set the pattern?
Thanks,
Paulo
Hello Everyone! I have the same problem of course, having bought a Brazilian unit GT-I9000B. On the Samsung Omnia, I managed to change that using SKTools. Is there a SKTools equivalent to fidle the SGS?
Thanks
