Question Please help with phone dialer - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Missing caller info. Anyone else? And no settings I see can change it. S10+ for comparison(2nd).
Does everyone's call history look the same? Any help is appreciated

Don't know what you mean but I got the 3 dot

I'm having the exact same issue. My contacts profile picture doesn't show up in the phone dialer app but is shows up everywhere else... More specifically, my caller/ contact's photo is not showing in the recent call log, only their phone number and other call info. Contact photo shows up perfectly everywhere else( contact list and messaging app)

Not sure but I think the photo comes from the contacts database if you have photos assigned there, and is triggered by the Caller ID feature - which is not used for SMS. I imagine that there is probably a third party application that would do that. Have to search around, though.
if u used the palm threaded sms app it does this.. i can not post where to find it because the site got introuble b4 when it was posted but just goole it..

Contact Name for call/text

I got a strange problem on my MDA Vario IV (HTC touch Pro). have got most of my contact numbers stored without the ISD code ..so typically looks like 07932******. Now when I receive a call it shows the contact name /or pic. But any text message shows only the number and comes up as +447932******. So I changed the contact number to read +447932******. But guess what ? the text display works fine, but the caller ID for incoming call now does not show the contact name..jus the number.. Anybody come across this?
Thanks

Contact pictures not displaying in incoming calls, call logs of phone

Hi,
I have this problem that the contact name & picture does not show on my phone incoming calls, call logs etc. I have contact pictures for all my contacts in google, i can see them in the contacts , but the call logs and incoming call does not display the picture
i also notice in the call log it doesnt even show the contact name, just shows the phone number with "unsaved" written below.
when I add a contact to the PHONE contacts and not google then it shows name and picture, but my google contacts dont show. This is so strange as it worked before but suddenly now past few days it doesnt work
I have rooted the phone and used Titanium backup to disable a lot of applications after referring to the safe to remove list, I am familiar with that as i did the same on my S2 i had before.
anyone with any ideas on this please help.

Clear the Contacts and Contacts Storage data (under Applications Manager>All) and resync. that should solve it.
Failing that reboot in to recovery and clear both cache's.

[Q] Contact names in dialer problem

I just got my Razr i and I have a problem with contact names not showing in recent calls list.
When the Dialer displays the recent calls list, I see only numbers, no contact names, but when I am actually calling (typing a number) I do get the contact name.
All my contacts are from Google Contacts.
I tried installing Dialer One app and it acts the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Avner.
Edit: Same thing happens in the SMS app; I see the contact number, not the contact name associated with it.
Hi there, does this problem was solved?

Hi, is it really ALL contact names that show as numbers or just a couple? I had the issue with my girlfriends number for some reason it wouldn't show the name..
I read on another forum to just delete it and re-add it in the absolute same way as before.. and voila, worked.
Maybe try one number first, and see if that helps... if so, you may have a weird formatting in your contacts numbers...
good luck, Stefan

Question How to get +1 to stop showing up on phone numbers from text messages.

I am having a interesting issue with my phone that I cannot figure out. When I receive a text message the system adds a +1 to the start of the phone number it is coming from, I am using the Samsung Messages application but this does the same thing apparently with the Google SMS app and the Verizon messenger app (as I have\ tried these as well), this only happens with a text and if I get a phone call or look in the address book no numbers have a +1.
The reason this is an issue is because my car imports my phonebook as it appears in the contacts and when I get a text it comes up as Unknown Caller because of the added +1 but phone calls do not have the +1 so they show up just fine.
While working on this I have discovered that if I go to the text by going to my contacts then clicking on the persons name it will remove the +1 and it will stay removed as I text them but the second I get texted back the +1 is added. I called Verizon eventually and was told reset settings, reset network settings, turn off assisted dialing. None of these work and there next solution was to factory reset, I don't think this will help because it isn't just my phone but my wife and son who also got the same phone have the same thing happen.
Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it. I have been through all the phone and dev settings looking for something. I cannot find any other threads online for this except for a couple from AT&T users from different samsung phones years ago with no answer. Previous to this we were using Note 9's and did not have this issue. Any help is appreciated.
edit: The phone is not rooted or modded and is on Android 11 One UI 3.1, sorry forgot to add that.
I think it's under: Settings -> Call Settings -> Other call settings -> Roaming assistance

That is assisted dialing I turned off already and it didn't affect it. It's also just on text messages phone functions don't have this happen for some reason.
The +1 is your coumtry code prefix (USA).
While you can change this in your messaging app you can't change it from eveyone else's phone.
From using it in your car radio might be somethng in your car settings or else in your contact list add the +1 to all your contacts.

I understand that the +1 is the country code.
It isn't from other people's phones it is the way the Ultra is handling the information when it comes to text messaging. I did the following test. I removed my son as a contact in my phone and called my phone from his. The phone number shows up as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I then sent a text message to myself from his phone while he still was not in my contacts. I have 3 different text applications on my phone right now for testing purposes (default Samsung, Google's SMS app, and Verizon Messeages) and all 3 shows the phone number as +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
The car isn't adding the the +1 to contacts, when my phonebook syncs to the car and I go into it the phonebook on my cars display they show the same as in my contacts "Contacts Name" (xxx) xxx-xxxx but when a text comes in it shows Unknown +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
The issue solely lies with text messages being received on the S21 Ultra as this happens when people on Apple phones or Android phones (multiple brands) text me.
In regards to text messaging in general, i live not far from you ( about 9500 miles ) and I have a different device then yours. Receiving text messages from someone in my contacts list shows up contact name. Receiving other text message not in my contact list will show as country code and phone number. There are exceptions to this in regards to texts from government agencies and google which will show up who are not in my contacts list. I think texts messaging work around the international standard ie: country code + phone number while phone calls may not (unless making international calls). So i don't think it's device specific as it more to do with the networks that you connect to.
In regards to talking to you car ( text wise ) i may be of little help as i don't have a android 11 device and a car to talk to.
Since your note 9 works, and as far as i know latest version is android 10, it could be an issue with android 11. From your test using your son's phone have tried to add the +1 to his number to your phone and see if it's make a difference.
