I noticed that my Call Log history only goes as far as June 13 of this year. Little confused about this as I had it going much further on my Note 8 prior to backup, I used Smartswitch to backup my Note 8 data inc call log.
So , today I plugged in my Note 9 to the PC and ran smartswitch, I chose the Note 8 backup dated 8/22/19 and chose to only restore the Call log , once done it was exactly the same as the phone was showing before, even included todays calls for some reason. So I , chose another older Note 8 backup of calls log and again same thing.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is it perhaps Google backup interfering with this?
EDIT. I chose my call log and deleted all from the phone first before restoring from backup, this time the restored Call Log history showed only and additional month of February with a few calls. So I had to go to each previous backup of call log history and restore each one seperately until it fully populated my call log list. Then I went to my current backup dated 9/5/19 and there was no option to restore a call log WEIRD, Looks like it can only save so much call log data. I restored some from 2013 through to current, it would automatically delete the 2013 and 2014 etc call logs.
I think I figured it out. According the attached link there is a limit placed for call logs. I wasn't aware!

Just curious if this happend to anyone else. I went to add a new phone number on my phone this morning, but I saw that all my contacts are now labeled "Unknown".
I lost all my contacts.
I did look at my missed calls over the night and there were 3. two friends and it said what time. An "Unknown" number and didn't say what time they called. I can delete the missed calls, but I cannot delete the "Unknown" missed call.
Is it possible someone called my phone and killed my contacts? I only can get the numbers from my history of calls. which is around 10-15 numbers.
Don't know if anyone can help or not. I do have the tilt and am with t-mobile.

i sure hope someone can help you cuz i went through a similar experience TWICE in the last year since i've had my kaiser (last time was TWO DAYS AGO when my beta-based ROM expired cuz of a builtin timebomb). so i feel your pain, but to a minimum degree because i was fortunate enough to have recent backups so i didn't lose more than 10 days of texts, call history, and contacts in both my experiences.
i hope you find a way out...but believe me! there WILL BE a next time! like it or not, data loss is sure to happen to everyone, possibly many times, in some form over their lifetimes.
fortunately, with windows mobile, you can use "pimbackup" (just search for it on xda!) to make regular backups to your memory card of all such otherwise-difficult-to-backup pieces of data like texts, call history, and contacts. in my opinion, it is a much more reliable and manageable way to take backups of precious information than using activesync! in case you are unable to recover your data this time, at least take precautions now to be prepared next time it happens!
IDEA!!! try pimbackup right NOW...look at its logs carefully when it is performing the backup to see how many contacts and call records it can retrieve...who knows, maybe it can read the database in case the OS's native routines are shot. if you think pimbackup is able to see data that your OS can't, then you might want to think about restoring the backup to see if it fixes things...
good luck!
thanks, i will try this when i get home from work today.
I keep all my contacts on my sim card. not sure if it can grab that.
I have searched the forum and have not encountered anything similar to this. I receive calls from my contacts list telling me I just called them, impossible because the device is in front of me. I received a call earlier from a Sprint contact, answered and no one said anything, so i disconnected. Minute later the same contact calls me and asks if i called him because he missed my call. I never called him. 15 min later a T-mobile cust calls me and asks the same thing. So weird. The sprint contact is on a Hero CDMA with CM7, but the T-mobile cust is stock ROM. Im running CM7, newest radio, collin batt tweak and no fancy apps on the device.
Any advice would be appreciated

This might be a long shot, but if nothing shows up in your call log, I would say someone is prank calling with your phone number.
Try making a backup of your contacts if you don't already have one. Also backup your text msgs if you choose. Then export your contacts to your sd. Then try clearing data in dialer, contacts contacts storage and mms. Then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dev cache. Then reboot and restore your contacts and resetup your mms configuration and dialer configuration. Hope this helps.

Also a longshot... Try phone goggles in settings.

I would link you to several other posts, however I'm too new to send links! but I've googled and searched quite a bit and all the things I've tried have failed.
I'm rooted with FROYO.... and the other day I stopped recieving texts after recieving a "Low Memory" error.
I send texts just fine, I've had this issue before and usually a flash to a nandroid backup and an update to the PRL and PROFILE fixes it.... however not this time. I've been working on this for 2 days now....
Here's what I've tried
1. Reflash back to earlier ROM.
2. Update PRL, and Update PROFILE --- (done this everytime I Flash/Restore)
3. Reflashed back to current ROM.
4. restored countless nandroid backups
5. Factory reset with different roms
6. FINALLY Chatted with sprint, he made me do a couple diagnostics that he said would "work"
7. He did advanced troubleshooting and made me turn off phone for an hour
Still nothing works.
I noticed by googling that quite a few people suggested deleting telephony.db, however I do not have a telephony.db file... even when I reflash and restore backups there is no telephony.db file.
Anybody else have ideas on what I can do?

With Titanium Backup, it would be Dialer storage, it's listed with sms and mms, you could try that.
Go into your parental controls at sprint.com and make sure sms is turned on, it somehow got turned off on my sons phone once.
if you have your msl code u could restore a sense rom and dial ##3282# go to data setting and change your accolic to 1 that will give you a higher priority for calls and texts just dont change it to 0 because thats reserved for emergency government bans and you might get some notices from the fcc lol.
youll be fine if u leave it on 1though

Sadly I don't have a titanium backup of the sms and mms
And for some reason I can't get the texting link on the sprint.com parental controls to open.... I've tried 3 different browser, I wonder if the link is down
just call sprint and ask tell them u want to do a data restore and theyll give it to u
msl reader in the market if you are rooted

Don't restore any system stuff or apps via titanium backup, this is probably what borked it in the first place.
Yeah I'm not entirely sure what screwed it up, however I do know that on most of the ROMS I installed and Nandroid backups, that the /data/data folder on my phone did not exist.
I tried using linux commands to find the "telephony.db" file, and doing this I discoved the /data/data folder was missing. And the "random backup" I restored either recreated it or had it still in memory. And now when I navigate to the /data/data folder on my phone it's FULL of stuff. So I'm sure however that got deleted, that it was the issue.
Thank yall so much for your help
Glad you got it sorted out.
I have been trying for a solution to this problem for months. Initially I was running CM ROM and noticed when making outbound calls, the calls were showing up as unknown in my call log.
First I though this had something to do with Google voice, so I uninstalled and the problem persisted.
Recently, I changed ROMS to Chroma marshmallow w/ the correct radio and boot loader. Right away, the same problem is occurring.
The attached screenshot is from another thread, but outlines my problem.
Did you found a solution?

Make sure your contacts app and phone (dialer) apps are set as default for contacts and phone in settings. You might need to remove and then add back the Google account so your contacts are updated.
Thanks, but already checked.
I've dust done a fresh install of lineage 17.1 and the problem still present. On outgoing calls when the other side answers the number switch to Unknown
I found this post repo.xposed.info/module/ru.timjosten.unknownnumberfix
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.
