hello,
when someone calls my diamond II
it only shows the number of the caller, but not the name even though they are in my contacts how can i change this so it says who calles by name instead of number..
thanks for any reply
This sometimes happen if you have multiple entries of the same number....then phone shows only number and no name.....Is this happening for each incoming call..or just for few contacts...
for all contacts it happens, but most do have an mobile number and an home number..
can i change anything to fix it? or is it a fault on the diomand II .
Multiple numbers for same contact should not be a problem, but multiple contacts for the same number sometimes causes this....fr me it is working fine, so it should not be a TD2 bug..

all contacts have just one mobile number and one home number so i don't know where to search a solution
but thanks for your reply
Try to not use the prefix.
(+countrycode)
Should do the trick
this was discusserd once already (I think. I can recall the drop the prefix solution). Search a bit. alas, I will give you a link if I find one
Im having a similar problem. The caller id dosent work for some of my contacts, both when they phone me or when they send a SMS. Im sure they are saved in my phone and not on my sim and from what I can see there isn´t any difference from how they are saved in my phone book from the ones that the caller id works for. Its really strange and annoying. Hope someone has a solution for this problem.
Did you try just delete that contact and make it again. I know it's stupid question but ...

yes i did. I also tested to make a new contact from the sms view with the option save contact with the actual number that shows instead of the name and it still didnt work. Thanks anyway.
Hey,
I've had the same problem since day of purchase. I did the reg edit to increase the numbers the phone looks at to identify a number but it still didn't work. I've also deleted and re-created the contacts with no success.
ALL,
I had this problem. I submitted the case to HTC Europe but I did not even get a call back after a few months had passed.
Unfortunately the only way to do this is to hard reset the phone.
You will loose all your phone data (contacts etc) but the files on your memory card will be ok.
When you reset the phone, even if you have NO contacts at all on your sim card, you still have to tell the wizard on the first boot to import your SIM contacts. This, for some silly reason, is the only way to get the phone to register the phone contacts from your phonebook, even if you are just using the non-SIM contacts.
I had no numbers on my SIM card and of course I did not select the option to import my contacts. I was going to do that myself via Outlook. Once I selected not to import the contacts, not one number was recognized.
I did a Hard Rest. If you have numbers or not on your SIM does not matter. Allow the initial start-up wizard to import from the SIM. Then continue.
This solved this VERY ANNOYING issue for me. I used SPB backup first to take a copy of my phone data before the reset.

i had this problem too, solution is change registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch:9(DWORD)
this means phone will identify number by 9 last digits - meaning its ignoring country code.
*if 9 not working for you try 10/11/12... one of these should fix.

hello
today I tried all the numbers, from 7 to 12
11 was the value that made me look some of my callerID. now I have the same problem, but not with everybody, but only some people
let's say a 50% of my contacts are shown on the screen when they are calling me/sending me an sms, but the other 50% doesn't show me the name but just the number.
today I tried with my mom's phone to call me. it didn't show the name. So i deleted her name from the contact, and added it again (from the missing call). now it's showing her name... Do I have to do it with all the phonebook?
is there something I can do to fix it? it's making me crazy
please help me..
I have, absolutely same problem, erasing the contact and creating it again, did not solve, very very strange. I've tried iterchange of numbers home>work, work>home, work> auto, home > auto, invane, some of contacts refuse to display name, compared the phones i have no same numbers for names ecc. First of all i have to mention that numbers have been migrated from Nokia 6230i via Outlook Express > Outlook > Phone , some of the numbers like Home, Bussiness Fax ecc, did not passed to Diamond 2
I've just noticed that a Hotfix was released a few days ago, which just might solve this problem.
Titled: Update for HTC Touch Diamond2 for Caller ID Display
I haven't tested it yet, so let us know if it works for anyone
try to make all contacts same format with TrineFix or similar app,
set numbers without country code, for example in israel i set 05XXXXXXXX instead of +9725XXXXXXXX, then i change CallIDMatch to 8.
this is how it works for me.
I had a problem with none of my contacts names coming up when they called me, it would only show their number. After x2 software resets and installing everything again I found the problem, when you do a software reset and you turn the phone on for the first time when it asks you to import from your sim card contacts DONT DO THIS if you sync your phone with Active Sync and outlook contacts as this is where the problem is.
If you import your contacts from your sim and you sync with outlook then your caller id's will not work.
If I try to dial a german number beginning with "01" it always sends me back to the homescreen.
I can dial all other numbers except for numbers beginning with "01". But all mobile phone numbers in Germany start with "01" so its a big problem for me.
Can anyone help?
I have the same problem, it´s just not "01", it´s several numbers like "25", "02". I also did a factory reset, and it changed the numbers, before it was "07" and "05" but now they work and others do the same thing. I phoned up the place where I have to send the phone for repair and they said it´s most likely a software issue, it happens when new phones come out. So yeah, call the shop where you bought it from and they will tell you what to do and who to contact for further details. Best of luck!
Edit: I fixed it BY MISTAKE! (lol)
My solution: I delete all my contacts (because I didnt want to send it in with the contacts) and then I tried it out and it worked! I also noticed every time I clicked the green button to call someone, it was on the tab "contacts" instead of "dialler". Another thing, before when I typed "25" I was sent to my homescreen, but not that I reset all my contact when I type "25", one of my numbers appear highlighted with "25" so I am pretty sure that there was a glitch with some of my contacts and now it doesn´t bug up. Try it out and let me know =)
Solution: Delete all contacts, restart, copy contacts back from sim! Voila =)
I had a similar problem with my Milestone 2 when I dialed "22". The dialer would simply close. After some experimentation, I found that the problem only happened when my Facebook contacts were hooked into the phone. By chance, I found that my first Facebook contact had put a non-numeric phrase in his mobile telephone number field on Facebook, and once I had unfriended him, and reset my contacts, then everything worked fine.
So if the dialer is shutting unexpectedly, then checkout whether any of your contacts have a non-numeric phone number.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Steve.
I've got the same problem when I type +3939, it's a big problem because I'm Italian!
No problem by typing the numbers you posted before.
Can someone clarify if WM7 will show both the full name and company for incoming calls.
I save all my contacts in outlook and use the File As to show both Person & Company i.e. John Smith(ABC Ltd).
I have over 1500 contacts for work and it's one of the features that has kept me with Windows for years.
I've tried Android and that doesn't do it. Iphone doesn't do it. Nokia doesn't do it - Not sure about Blackberry.
Also does WM7 have smart dial - I'm sure I read that it didn't, again it's a feature that's kept me with Windows, I have a shocking memory and being able to dial by first name, last name, company or telephone number is invaluble.
Cheers
Pete
For me it shows only 1st and last name + picture if available. Company info is a no go as long as you don't incorporate it in the contact name itself as I usually do.
Smartdial: No. But searching the contact list is easy. Just type 2-3 letters and you have narrowed the results enough. I'm saying this with 700+ contacts.
...I very much like to use voice dial, too. Very reliable, in fact, and fast.

Dear All,
I'm experiencing very strange issue with my WP7 HTC HD2, when receiving call form my saved contacts.
Almost all my contacts are saved in my phone with international dialing code as I'm living abroad.
When I receive call abroad, the name of my contact is displayed.
When I receive call at home the name is not displayed, only the number is displayed and I dont know who is calling while the number is saved in my phone with international dialing code.
To have the name displayed I have to save the number again without international dialing code.
I have the same issue when I dialing also.
Please help.

Apply the following registry and it will solve your problem:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7

Try with the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907169
It works perfectly!
I have been using WildPuzzle for a few days now and have no problems with it except for the fact that when someone rings me it doesnt recognise the number (its the same with text messages) Is there a way around this I thought it would be just a matter of importing contacts from SIM to phone memory but it still doesnt recognise them all.
I have noticed that if I add an additional "home" number into each contact with the +44 or 0 prefix, which ever the contact in question doesnt have then it works fine. But as you can only have one number on SIM contacts this doesnt really solve the problem.
Anyone experienced similar problems?
Hello guys,
i'm facing a strange problem with my s7 edge, it just mix the contacts number randomly. Many times i'm trying to call someone and when i do i found that it's not the one i'm trying to call!! after a deep look into my contact list i found that the phone is copying another contact phone number to another contact name, i will have two numbers under the same contact name, and when i press edit i just see the original number, the other number "the one the phone copy it himself" isn't there! i tried to show only my device contacts or google account contacts but still same problem.
Any ideas! thanks
This has never happened on my edge. Are you using any third party contact apps or dialers?
No just the regular contact app
