atm my caller id is only working with number/names in the SIM memory..
is there anyway that i can have the contact that stored on the phone (sync outlook) to come up for caller id?
is there a software to patch this prob? o is there i setting i m missing to activate this?
My ROM is the newly updated one in end NOV (with blackberry function).
Using O2mini...
can anyone help me...? ><~~
Sorry, I have no clue on this issue, but I experienced a the similar problem, as my contacts (phone book) grows over time. As it grows, the phone took longer time to search through the phone book before could really display the caller's name. Instead only the number was displayed. Can anybody tweak around with this problem?

here how u goes
Start > Programs > Sim Manager
Wait for the Sim Manager to load all your contacts from Sim. Once done, highlight all the contacts, tap tools menu & select Save to Contacts. It should copy all the selected contact to your phone memory by now.
er.. dont think that was my question/answer..
but thanks for trying to help anyway ^^
I HAVE RESOLVED this problem now:
I think because there was no contact (ZERO) on my sim card memory, for some reason it didnt trigger this funtion.
So what i did to make it work was to make a new contact on the sim card with the number/contact that was also stored in my phone memory, and try call it, i realised it was showing the contact name that i had on the phone memory not the sim (as the number is the same but to distingush i make up differ name). Then i deleted the contact on my sim (back to ZERO) and try call again. NOW the caller ID shows up.
GG
I have some contacts saved in my contact list, but when that person calls. It showed up unknown caller. I tried to deleted that number and save it again. But it still shows unknown caller. Some other contacts are fine. Anyone had this problem and has a solution? Is there anything to do with restore? I did a restore recently.
don't know if it helps, but try to save the numbers with the country prefix in the contact.
for example in France here, I save them as +33654321 instead of 0654321, cause I had the same problem some time ago
This doesn't have anything to do with the Wizard - if the Wizard shows "unknown caller" it means that the caller's phone doesn't send the number (the caller can change that, depending on the SIM card - and the caller can also tell the telecom provider of his home phone whether he wants his number to be sent when calling!)...
No way to change that for you, sorry!
I have tried adding the prefix, but still doesnt work!
The number from the caller is not hidden, because the number is displayed, but not the name in the contact list.
for example:
Incoming call
'Unknown Caller'
0709XXXXXX
I have tried to delete and save the contact again, but still the same!!
Oh, so I misunderstood...
Sorry, but then I don't have any idea...
Not sure if this helps. I had the same experience with my other phone (not Pocket PC type), which shows unknown caller even I'm very sure I had his number on my phone, I deleted the number and put it back again, same problem. AND, after all the stuggle, I've finally noticed the problem, which is the fact that I had his name entered twiced (e.g. two contacts, different name with same number). The phone probably got it confused and refused to display a name.
I would suggest, that you remove your problematic contact, try dialing his number on the keypad, and see if the name appears (e.g. the other possible contact that has the same number). If not, then it is not this problem, I guess.
Was about to say, I got this problem, turned out to be a duplicate contact - the phone can't decide who it is, so displays nothing. Pfff.
Be nice if it displayed a list of possible contacts, but...
Delete any duplicate contacts and it should go away.
I've recently changed my phone number, changed sim cards, and flashed the latest AKU3.2 ROM i found here.
While going through the settings, and tweaking things to my liking, i went to "Phone Options" and noticed my old number is shown on top!
how? the sim is gone, the number is gone, and the phone was hard reset before and after the ROM upgrade.. it just doesn't make sense
even when i open an incoming SMS message, the "To:" field on top shows my old number, while the message was in fact sent to the new one!
where can i update this?
the only thing that came to mind is SIM manager, and "List of own numbers"
it has 3 slots, and the 1st one has my name and my old number.. i tried erasing it, changing it, etc.. all failed.
the number just wont change
tips anyone?
anyone?
Yes u are correct that's where it's getting the number from. You will need to delete own number from SIM with SIM Managers. No idea why it fails though... Try adding new number and then try deleting old number... unless for some reason your SIM is somehow locked by provider.
i tried replacing the number, deleting it then adding the new one..
deleted it all together.
still, i click save.. then i refresh and the damn thing is still there
i wonder if it's a fault in the sim application
but i tried my other phones (mainly Nokia's) and couldn't even find the option :S
Test on other WM5 device if u can... from a friend or something.
as far as I know, if U change number via PAC code, its more less something very similar to call divert, your SIM should be active to both of numbers, try to call your old number. it was mentioned here a while ago. user writing about this wrote something that the your old no is stil with your previous operatro..... dont remember
Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone else might be having a similar problem with 'caller [or texter] ID'.
Most networks, as I understand it, use the international dialing code when sending out texts and calls, meaning this is usually the incoming number when you recieve a text or call.
I've obviously got people programmed into my contacts who text me but when they do, I don't get their name, I get their number - with the dialling code eg. +447750500500. When I tap to go into the threaded mode, I'll get all previous contact with this person but with them identified only as the number. However if I head to the People tab, then again to see the messages I've sent/recieved with that person, I get the same messages only under the banner of their name and not the number.
I believe calls work fine with the code programmed in on their contact profile.
Anyone know why this is being caused?
I have the same problem. Both calls and text messages.
I don't think it matters if the international code is there or not.
Really frustrating not knowing who calls.
I've had this problem first time the device was initialized (right after opening the box). It might be caused by the fact I didn't have any SIM in it at that time, I'm not sure.
After a hard reset with a SIM inserted, everything started working as it's supposed to.
Hmm, I've changed the SIM, but I can't remember if it worked wih the first SIM card.
But a hard reset deletes everything, right?
There are a few things you have to be sure of:
Do not have double contacts, if you have a number (with and without operator/country prefix) twice in your list it will not show any name.
I don't know if this applies if you have a contact on your phone memory and on your sim card. I am sure it does have this problem if you have two contacts with the same number on the memory phone.
For some reason this is logic: On an incoming call, the phones checks it's phonebook and retrieves two numbers and then it does not know what to display, is it contact one, or two?
I hope this helps you out. I did not experience any problems (yet).

Try this....
1. Edit one "test number" in your contacts and remove international codes.
Just put that "test" tel number. without int. codes... And make sure that number is not stored nder another contact. (No duplicates.)
2. Then dial from that number and see if that tel# is identified. If you have just "0xx-123456" then go to #3.
3. Go to registry and change of the Caller ID match rule. (Minus one digit.)
Example: Caller ID rule:8 (Change from 8 to 7 or 6 to 5 .. trailing digits for Call ID match. )
* HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:7
4. Restart and test again...
5. If its OK, than test with SMS.
6. If its OK again , put back your international codes and test again.
7. If not go to no.3
Hope this helps.

What was happening to me before the reset was a bit different - the phone wasn't able to match anything at all - even a number called from the phonebook and stored in "recent calls" in EXACTLY the same way it's in contact, didn't match to the contact when redialed.
I think that something required for Caller ID to work gets done when the phone is first initialized, and that this step requires full access to the phone module (which the phone doesn't have without a SIM inserted and a proper PIN entered).
hi,
i encountered also that worry,
i set the HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:9
my mobile phone number to test was stored as "06xxyyzzww"
and when i phone my diamond2 from that number
the caller id is recognized
(with showing as +336wwxxyyzz)
i tested from my home phone stored in contacts as 04wwxxyyzz
i rang my topaz its was identfied as my home,
(with showing as +334wwxxyyzz)
i am in france, + is for 00 ,our phone numbers are 10 digits long
(mobiles and "home") ,
to be joined from abroad, you have to dial +33+phone number WITHOUT the first digit "0")
so the "9" value i put in the registry
if it could help you
regards
Hi,
just stumbled over the same problem.
The old phone (HTC P330) resolved numbers from my used format 01234-56789.
Since my contacts are a mess, I have 01234-12345, +49-123456-456, +49 (0123)-456 and so on, it would be a great pain in my ass to switch every contact to +49123-456 (which the new phone resolved).
I compared the Registry-Entry from the P3300 with the TD2 and voila: TD2 was 12, P3300 had the value 8.
I changed the TD2 to value 8, reboot and now I'm happy again, the phone is getting used to my contact list

Hi,
I'm experiencing the exactly same problem, that incomming calls or messages isn't shown by name, but only by number.
I'm all new to Windows mobile, but I tried downloading a regeditor, and experimented with different values in the CallIdMatch string. However, no succes.
I live in Denmark, where numbers look like +4512345678, where +45 is the international code. Can someone please tell me, what should be the correct value? The original values was 8.
I have further found that some contacts are recognized. What the difference is between the groups, are however unclear!
Caller ID problem, my solution
I had the same problem. But after a hard reset it seems to work just fine now. Remember to backup your downloaded programs etc before doing this.

Hi,
"8" should be the good figure for you, as in France
we have phone numbers +33987654321
and "9" is the good value for me, in:
HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:
Edit: i remove previous "edit"
in fact all my contacts had been erased" so it was normal to have no caller ID?
ps: is your carrier sendind all the figures when you're receiving calls, i mean +4512345678
so perhaps you're encountering a bug .
you should try to backup your device, with a soft like spritebackup(special price for htc owners on their webpage) and experiment an hardreset
and restore
regards
Hi ,
did you ever try to change the following:
RegistryEdit and Decreasing the CallIDMatch from 12 to 7 solved my Issue
See below
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone" name="CallIDMatch"
Greetings from Slovenia
Hello,
that is my first post so please do not be very critical to my english level and PPC skills .
now this is an old thread but for BULGARIA the correct registry value is "9". Here the mobil numbers are as follows "08xx 123456" (9 digits without the ZERO at the very beginning). that is why the usefull number is that (default for my TD2 was 8). Now after this fix the phone can correctly identify which number i want to dial when i am inserting it by digits, instead of selecting the exact person. i do not know am i explaining correctly but i will try to put some more detail on that. When i want to dial some particular number (for example "08xx 123456") the phone select me the correct contact no matter how i put this contact in memory. with "+3598xx 123456" or only with "08xx 123456". before that intervention the phone identifies me the correct contact only if i type the digits, exactly the same way that i have added it to the memory. So i think that this registry key does not have a universal resolution. the resolution depends on how many digits is using tha particular mobile operator.
i hope that will be helpful for someone who is happy to own an HTC and is happy with it ... like Me
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.
