Incoming calls do not display contacts photo after 5.0 - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got the OTA .11 to lollipop last night and I noticed that when any of my contacts call me the photo I assigned to them does not show up on the caller id. All it shows is their phone number and the default caller id picture. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know how to fix this?

You can use some third party apps

My contact photos are displaying fine with incoming calls. OTA .11, also.

I think I fixed my problem. I was not actually having the problem with all of my contacts. The ones that were having this issue I think I have resolved.

Sms contacts not linking

Hi. Hopefully this is an easy fix
Since my update to 2.3.3 my contacts ids are not linking to sms chats. I.e. if I send a text to a friend, when they reply it only show up as their phone number when it used to be their name and Facebook picture.
This happens with every single contact.
What fixes are there? Is this a common issue? I know my wife is having the same issue with hers as well.
I really don't want to have to use an app to sync my contacts to chats. It should do it natively
Thanks

I've noticed this as well, the only workaround I've found was to reboot when it starts happening.
I haven't seen it in couple days.
It happens with my contacts randomly too, if I reboot, it happens to someone else sometimes. No fix?

Contact name and pic not showing

Hey guys... This was working for me but notice about a week ago that when I receive or make a call, the gear only shows the number... No name or pic from my contacts. When I look into contacts and call logs, I can see the names but if they call me, it only shows the number. Seems weird that the call log would show their name and also show in my contacts but not when I actually receive the call. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Update to latest firmware and reset watch?
I'm running 1.2 which is the only one I believe working with note 2. Tried resetting watch and reinstalling gear manager 1.2.13
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
I finally got this working and wanted to update Incase anyone has issues. I reloaded a Rom and my titanium backup reinstalled gear manager. Apparently something didn't install right and I lost my caller ID... No names or photos, just number. Uninstalling and reinstalling gear manager didn't work.
I actually had to go into titanium backup and uninstall all the gear programs... There are about a dozen of them and re-download the apk file. Reboot and it worked.

Contact name not showing
I resolved this problem by removing all of my google accounts and then adding them again. Names now appear on calls and in messaging.

Z1s and Google voice

Is any one having any issues getting voicemails to show up in their call log after seeing up Google voice? I get the notification but vast seem to find them in the call log.

Are you sure that you entered your google voice number properly in the forwarding options? I had trouble for the first few hours, but called T-mobile and they checked the forwarding settings... now it works properly.
In the call log, you will see only a missed call. The message itself will only show up in your gmail list, and the browser version of google voice... I think.? There is also a stand-alone .apk app for gVoice, available in the play store]

I am sure ebbed it right as it works just fine for calls. But in a 4.1 I believe they added the option to have your vm show up in the call log to listen to only. This worked fine on my n4. And the option is selected in the stand alone app.

I'm having some strange issues with GV on my Z1S. Just switched to T-Mobile last week and immediately made GV my voicemail. I removed my number from the website and re-added it, went through the prompts, and got the forwarding working. Now, I have 2 strange issues:
1. All the time the phantom voicemail icon will appear on my phone. I force quit "phone" (the app) and it goes away, but it'll show up sometime tomorrow or when I reboot my phone or something.
2. The GV voicemail seems to work intermittently (may have some effect on #1). Meaning, someone will call me and tell me they left a message, but the message is no where to be found. My theory is the forwarding didn't kick in, the message went to T-Mobile voicemail, and the phantom icon appeared. However, I can't yet confirm that.
Anyone dealing with either of these issues?
Is there a way to check my T-Mo voicemail after I've set everything up with google voice?
Thanks.
Same issues am having. For number 1 i am going to try and reset my number from the website.
For number 2 I just disabled the option to see vm in the call log.
The Phantom vm is tmobile picking up and then GV taking over so essentially a vm on each. It's annoying

Work Profile No Caller ID

Hi,
Not sure if this is a Pixel or Android issue. I'm using the Pixel 5 and my company has Intune installed work profile. I can search my work contacts from the personal contact app for calls and messenger. When calls come in I have two issues, most of the time Caller ID will display the phone number but not the callers name. It seems like out of 10 calls, I may get one or two with the name displayed from my work contacts. The other issue that happens is I'll hear the phone ring but I don't get the notification so I can answer the call or see whos calling until the second or third ring.
Phone software is all stock and up to date. Google launcher, Google contacts and phone app, Google Messenger, etc. Tried restarting the phone, no luck. Would like to know if this is a common problem or an issue with my phone.
Work profile using Intune and MS Office 365 apps. Thanks.

Question Incoming calls not showing names

Hi,
I've recently moved from a Galaxy S21 to the Pixel 7.
Ever since, on my new Pixel, incoming calls (it might be for specific callers, still unsure) will not show their names, only the numbers!
Later on, on the recent calls list, their names will appear perfectly.
When the incoming call is just a popup over another app, or through notifications, it would actually show the name.
My headphones would even say the name of the caller with the incoming call.
But the phone app would only show a number.
Attaching screenshots.
I've tried already to clear both cache & data of the phone app.
Any suggestions are welcome!
In your contacts (address book app) are the numbers exactly the same as what is shown in the call log? No + or ( ) ?
Are you using the Google contacts app?
That's my only thought.
Hmm, thanks, I usually have people saved with their country code, and this shows just the local number..
I've tried adding now for one of them also the number without the country code, and funny enough even the popup now doesn't show their name :sss
I have the google contact app, though I'm not sure that's what's used by default on the pixel.
I've tried now to merge some 500 contacts through the google contacts app, it's said it'll take some while before it's reflected on my phone, will check again later if that's made any difference.
i had a similar issue when receiving sms messages and calls. i disabled the chat feature in the messaging app which solved the problem for me.

Does the phone app have permissions for Contacts? Did you try stopping the phone app, clearing the storage, and then reopen it?
