Hi all
I am trying to use the Caller ID feature that allows you to choose to whom your caller id will be visible or not ( Settings - Phone - Services - Caller ID )
I enabled the option that phone provides CallerID only in numbers stored as contacts in phone
The problem is that when i dial through contacts it works perfectly but when i use the dialer to dial a Stored Contact this feature does not work
Any one can provide solution ?? cause is really annoying to use a stylus everytime i need to make a call
In phone settings your able to select who to block your caller ID on.
I chose show callerID only to people on contact list. But for some reason it just keeps blocking my CallerID for all outgoing calls.
Anyone else experience this?
Yes. For some reason it blocks your number from an outgoing call if you call a contact without using your contact list to place the call.
Having your contacts in your one touch dial and using that blocks the call.
Using the recent call list/missed call list also blocks your number.
I have not found where I can set so even if I have my number hidden from my phone provider
it is always shown when I make a call.
Found this poorly translated instruction but it is for a standard Samsung phone.
Enable or disable the Show Number
You can disable the display of your number so it does not appear in the recipient when you make a call . You can also make a single call with hidden number . Your number is hidden only for calls , not when you send messages .
1 Find the "Hide ID "
Touch Phone .
Press the Menu key .
Tap Call settings.
Press the Additional Settings.
Please wait a moment while the current settings are retrieved.
Press the Caller ID .
Anyone?
This question is not specific to the Nexus 6P, but that is the phone I carry.
I add 2 or 3 phone numbers (telemarketers) to my blocked call list every week. When a telemarketer calls, I (1) hang up, (2) go to the call log, (3) tap the call record to expand it, (4) tap "call details", then (5) select "block number." That's all very simple.
The issue is that now that I have dozens or hundreds of blocked numbers , when I miss a call, there's no easy way to see if the missed call was from a number on my blocked list. A missed call from a blocked number looks the same as a missed call from an un-blocked number (unless they're in my contact list).
I can scroll through (but not search or sort) my blocked call list by (1) opening phone app, (2) tapping "Settings" in the primary menu, then (3) tapping "Call Blocking." This presents a list of all of the numbers that I've ever blocked, but I can't search it and I can't sort it.
In a perfect world, the Call Log would somehow show a flag for missed calls from blocked numbers so that I don't have to search the list to see if the number is blocked. In an even more perfect world, a tap on that number would take me to a detail page showing all the times that number has called and been blocked. Finally, the blocked number list would be both searchable and sortable.
I think that most/all of this could be accomplished by a 3d party app - for which I'd gladly pay five bucks. There are lots of call blocking apps on the market, but they all appear to operate separately from the Android native call blocking function.
Q. - Any suggestions on how to make this better?
if you miss a call using stock dialer.app call blocking, and the number is on the block list, there is no record of it in your call log.
The whole point of blocking the call is so there is no trace of it.
>>> The whole point of blocking the call is so there is no trace of it.
I disagree. The whole point of blocking is not to be interrupted by a call from an unwanted caller. The point of a log is to make a record of incoming and outgoing call - and attempted call - activity.
then in that case you should use do not disturb.
call blocking is just that, blocking a call.
Agreed. Don't ring the phone, but I would like to see a log of the blocked calls, so I can tell how persistent a spammer is.
On all my previously android phones (mostly htc) I had option in dialer to add contact to blacklist then calls and sms from this phone number was rejected. I don't see that option in ZTE?
