Hey guys, i have a problem where i once blocked a number from calling my phone while i was running a particular rom by editing the contact and send the calls directly to voicemail, i have then changed roms since then but the blocking of the number still haunts me. i have tried deleting the contact from my phone and from google but it seems somewhere the fact that i blocked the number is still being stored and i don't understand
Please help!!!

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.
Hi there,
I needed to change my caller ID settings on my phone, but after I did that, I found that I couldn't dial out. I chose the setting for blocking caller ID to everyone. I then tried out contact only, and found I could only dial my contacts, and finally visible to everyone, and then i could dial out like normal. This is most annoying, as there are people who I don't want to see my number when I call, such as my students. Why would it block me calling in the first two cases - all I want blocked is my number appearing on the other person's phone. Could it have something to do with my local network? Any ideas?
Thanks,
David
PS I was playing about with my contacts while I was testing this out. I noticed my phone slowed down to a crawl, so much so that it was unusable, after changing a contact's details. Anyone else noticed this?
Has nobody experienced this? Or am I being an idiot and not understanding something simple?
Just got my phone on may 9th and recently been experiencing a caller id problem. The number of the person calling will just show not their name, and after i answer then the screen shows their name and picture. I have all these contacts in my google phonebook, i tried merging the contacts with google and deleting the contact data and it worked for 3min and stopped. Any suggestions?

This was also an issue with the S3 and only two particular modems had it working. I'd assume the same applies here. You'll need to do some research on what modems exist for your carrier and try them all.
no issues here with my Rogers S4 on Rogers

Sounds like you're using a custom rom.... That's the only case when the Caller id is not working... As already said, you may need to change your modem/kernel for a Canadian one
The thing is I am running stock touch wiz... Nothing special not even rooted.. I am going to call rogers today and see what they say..

Hey all,
There have been many threads over the years bemoaning issues with outbound call log issues with GV integration, some with decent resolutions.
In 4.3 at least, though, it seems that RWX access to the call log is available... and I'm wondering if a sharp developer can whip up a quick service to simply sync the GV call log folders with their Android equivalents. For those of us using GV as our primary #, this would be huge. It would solve the above problem wherever it still exists, but also solve the problem of multiple missed calls showing up on a phone when the call was simply answered on another device, and other similar issues.
Would anyone be interested in taking this on? I'd be happy to donate and I suspect others would as well.
i have started using my S4 at work
im a cable technician, when i call customers im blocking my number using #31# before the actual number of the client for obvious reasons- its a big company, anything has to go through their customer service center
the thing is, when i call a client using that prefix, its gone in the call log, so when i need to call him again( which often happen) i need to dial the number again which is very uncomfortable as im calling dozens of customers everyday, my older work phone was a simple J105 sony ericsson , which used to saved the number in the call log just as it was, smartphones for some reason, dont...
is this a setting i can change or some other dialer i should use ?
please? anyone?
Maybe try other dialer and contact apps...
