Hey.
My device suddenly stopped recognizing some contact numbers even though they are saved in my contact list.
I noticed it might be related to the fact that some contacts are saved at "+972" (the Israeli prefix) and some are with "0" instead at the beginning. In the past, my phones would have normally converted the "0" to "+972" automatically. So contacts would have been recognized automatically.
What could be the reason it stopped? And how could i possibly fix it back?
Thank you
Alon

Hi all,
When I receive a call I don't see a name with the number, although the name is in my contacts!
I tried several things, I removed all duplicates, reinstalled everything after hard reset and reinstalled backup, but not working.
Who can help me out?
do you have contacts stored in the SIM card?
No, my sim is empty!
i used to get the same problem when i had my contacts saved on both the SIM and the device
I used to suffer from that when I was using the T-mobile ROM!
There was a process "filesys.exe" that was taking up to 99% of CPU time, which prevents the PHONE application from searching the contacts & matching the calling number with the name! :roll:
And how do I stop the process? Where can I even see what process is going on?
you can run a program called Super Tasks that shows you the CPU usage of every running process.

you can work on the trial & see if any process is taking up the whole CPU time.
For me, I solved this issue by doing a hard reset! It was really something weird! :?
Hi all...
I was wondering if people more experienced could help me with a strange problem.
I can't seem to send or receive sms'es. When I send an sms, nothing happens, and the message just sits there in the "Outbox".
When I send an sms to myself (from another phone), the phone WAKES UP, but no message shows up. So obviously the phone is receiving the message but it's not showing up? Maybe it's being blocked somewhere?
It was working fine before 2 days ago, and the only thing I can think of which I've done during the past 2 days was set up push mail with Exchange 2007. Would this affect things?
I've checked my settings, sms is set to send via GSM and the service center number is correct.
Also to confirm - I've tried hard-reset and the phone received sms'es fine.
But as soon as I reload my backup, it no longer receives/shows the sms'es being received. So something is block the sms from showing up. What program/setting would it be?
Evening all,
I am having a strange issue with my HTC One that i can not resolve nor can i find any information on here or google of anyone with the same issue.
Basically some of the contacts on my phone won't sync with my car bluetooth.
I have tried everything from deleting and re adding the contacts manually, to a full factory reset of both the phone and car Bluetooth.
I have found the issue to be something to do with email accounts. For example if i delete my wife's email account from her contact details her name then shows up in the car. As soon as i re add the email to her contact details it disappears again.
It's not all emails either as some Numbers sync with emails and some don't.
I can categorically say it is the phone causing the issue as my iPhone with the exact same contact list with emails per contact etc Sync's perfectly with the car BT and all names an no's etc show up.
So there is something amiss somewhere on the phone but i can not fathom it out. I'm only talking 78 contacts as well it's not as if it is thousands. I have manually added every single no. to my Gmail account and even though they show up fine on the phone they won't all sync to the car. It has worked briefly once but the next time i came to use the car the same contacts had vanished again.
Does anyone have an idea on what i need to do? As said it is quite obvious it is the phone i just can't fathom out what it is.
I am on JB 4.3 with 3.62.401.1 firmware. I am also in the UK on the 3 Network but i don't think thats the issue as my iPhone is on the same network.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Anyone?
Hi,
Just got the verizon S8 a week ago and this has been driving me nuts. When my gf calls, her name doesn't come up. Only displays her number. My contacts are on my gmail account. All other contacts i have show up. She has an iphone and her name showed up on my old s5. Her phone is already set to display caller ID and so is mine. I spend like a few hours aday trying to troubleshoot this.. No luck whatsowever. Weird thing is, sometimes when she calls, her number appears with a ;oli=62 behind it. Example: 714-555-5555;oli=62. I googled oli (originating line information) but it makes no sense to me..
Things i've tried already:
1) resync gmail contacts
2) deleted her contact on gmail/phone/etc
3) readded her contact to phone internal storage and also gmail again
4) tried in safe mode to see if a application is blocking it
5) rebooted phone of course
6) re-adding her contact info with her data deleted from gmail
7) called verizon support
8) and last but not least.. reset/restored original s8 to factory
HELP.. i was gonna try to exchange the phone for another s8 but i really don't think that might be the issue.. i tried researching IPHONE issues with caller ID not showing up but all her settings seems correct.
Thanks in advance.
Same...
I'm having the same issue on my Note 5 after updating to Nougat. I'm having the issue with only one friend, no one else.
I found a temp fix. Go to your a computer and log into your Google contacts. Add that weird number. Example. 555-555-5555;oli=62 to the contact along with the regular number. That should fix it.

Same issue on my new s8+, adding the number plus ;oli=62 on the Google contacts via editing from your Google contacts from googles website works great, thanks for the work around. The only problem I have with these Samsung devices is the slow ass updates. Their still on 7.0 even though 7.1.2 has been released for months
Me too. I have a Note 5 on VZW. Pretty sure it started after the Nougat update as well. And also for only one contact. I know I could add those characters to the contact info, but I want to know why the heck it happens for only one contact. Found this info (not that it cleared up jack for me, lol) - https://www.dialogic.com/webhelp/IMG1010/10.5.3/WebHelp/oli_isdn_sip.htm
i have this same problem. It is on a S6 and has been happening since before the Nougat update. It only happens to me for 2 contacts 1 full time and the other off and on. If i look at the missed calls screen afterwards the phone displays the correct contact just during the incoming call is it not displaying.
the problem actually stopped for me around the time of the roll-out and then started back up a week or so later.
The only connection that i can find is that both of them use Family mobile (T-mobile) service.
Last time i researched this problem, i found the same problem a few years ago with T-mobile and VOIP phones but never found a solution
its the feds
Are you just being a douche or are you serious?

This is the same problem I'm having. I have the S8 on Verizon the two contacts whose numbers don't work are both on T-Mobile. One of the numbers it happens to constantly and has the xxx-xxx-xxxx;oli=62 while the other number does it intermittently w/o the extra's at the end.
"Me To" Bus
Ok, I'm a "Me to" I blocked all phone calls except for people in my contacts, because of all the Spam calls.
But my best friend gets blocked because of this problem.
I have a Samsung S4 Note, Also using Verizon. And google contacts.
I'm going to save him only under Verizon Contacts. And see if that does anything.
He is using a Blu Phone and also using T-Moble.
Anyone have any idea's?
Jim
my phone just started doing this when I installed a reminder ap. I uninstalled it, and it stopped. Hope this helps.
Hi all,
I apologise in advance for the length, but was wondering if anyone had encountered this issue, and what they did to resolve it, if so.
The above errors come from the Xiaomi SIM Activation Service.
I'm running MIUI 12.5 Enhanced (CN ROM), 12.5.12.
A few days ago (from September 10th on), I started noticing errors with message and call history sync. Message sync would say "failed to get SIM info", while call history sync would simply say it was interrupted, and to try again. Of course, trying again for both never did anything.
Prior to this, I never had any issues with syncing call history or messages to the cloud.
Troubleshooting
• I've tried wiping the phone, rebooting, and trying with different SIMs, including logging out and back into my Mi Account.
• My providers have confirmed no issues sending the SMS's from their end, I have enough credit, and no "send/receive international SMS block" in place.
• Some solutions on the Internet say to enable data roaming and reboot, which didn't work. They also speak of allowing all permissions for the SIM Activation Service - (unless I am missing something), there are no permissions to allow, they simply don't appear when I look at the Service in "Apps", under Settings.
Outcome
Effectively, this means I can't sync my messages and call history to the cloud - this is also replicated across multiple MIUI smartphones that I use as testbeds, and a bug report has been submitted to Xiaomi.
All other sync services work fine.
The only thing I can do now, is periodically backup messages and call history to external storage.
Anyone have any ideas I can try, please?
Yesterday, after a read xiaomie installation, I had the same problem, I could not activate the SIM card and synchronize sms.
Today I set the language of the English UK and US region. I turned on mobile data and turned off wifi.
Such a liking was able to activate the SIM.
Unfortunately I get sms sync error, maybe it's a bug on the xiaomi server side. But the activation was successful.
Very simple answer. Sorry to say- I have taken service providers to the ombudsman. It's the service provider. They prevent the Sim identification and also international SMS from going through. Xiaomi, in their complicity, have taken away the feature showing the international SMS (it is now just one bar, not two). Phone says under device "Sim card not installed or activated"...yet it is. So, they prevent that at Optus, AMAYSIM, Vodafone.. whomever. They ALL do it. Why? They don't have anything better to do and enjoy the power, control and frustrating the ship out of customers. If you search the internet, if you have service, yet can't sync call history and SMS, it is the SERVICE PROVIDER GAMING YOU! WELCOME TO PLANET EARTH.
Also, it prevents call recording. Great game master controllers.
