I have searched and searched trying to find a fix! (Sorry if this has already been asked, i could not find what i was looking for)
On my HTC Ozone when dialing a number i have to enter the area code for the contact to show up on the screen.
On my old WM phone if i dialed XXX-XXXX it would auto change the number XXX-XXX-XXXX when it dialed.
for some reason the ozone does not add the area code. I have checked the default area code and it is set to 405 (which is Oklahoma) and still does not work!
Any help would be great!!!!

It wont show up if you are dialing within the same area code. Also make sure your area code is enclosed like (XXX) XXX-XXXX
I have my wife'snumber stored in contacts. I noticed that when I dial manually, unless I enter the area code it doesn't pick up that I'm calling her. Other phones I have used allowed meto set my "local" area code and assume if I didn't dial one the local is assumed. AM I missing something, or does this setting not exist on the hero.
My Hero assumes my local area code when I dial without one. I haven't had to adjust any options for this to work.
its been a standard for the last few years that you need to dial 1+(area code) when dialing a number.
its possible it depends on your area, i live in a large city myself so there are many overlapping area codes, so its kind of a necessity.
its POSSIBLE this is the case.

The point is with most all phones/carriers including my current Hero on Sprint, if you dial a 7-digit number without an area code, the phone assumes that it is in your registered area code. (Not the area code of your location, BTW.)
It sounds like there is a glitch with the OP's Sprint service.

Which ROM did you flash after rooting your phone?
I've noticed the same thing. All of my contacts are in the 865 area code. If I dial 660 nothing pops up for my wifes contact, but if I dial 865-660...it pulls up her contact info.
Because we are still pretty rural, we still use 7 digit dialing. Dialing the area code is pretty useless around here so It's a habit I have to get my self into I guess. Kinda sucks if you fat finger something and there us no confirmation of the contact you are dialing.

Sprint sends the area code with the phone number, though, so if you don't store the area codes, your caller ID won't show you the names either.
All the Sprint leaks act like this, although 1.5 did not. Hopefully it won't work that way in the release.

yeah that's the issue. I was just surprised that the number wasn't recognized without it I guess.
I think it is that way because when you type a number it searches from whole words and the phone number is considered one word so it needs to start from the beginning.
If you haven't noticed you can type in someones name and it will pop them up.
Also another weird thing is if you type a phone number with area code and then type a number 1+area code you will get two different lists because the 1+area code shows up in the call log and the search pulls from there as well.
I noted an issue with caller ID and the firmware that I'm using (JM1 "New").
Whenever I receive I call, the phone recognize the phone and select the correct contact on my agenda. But whenever I'm on roaming of when I receive and SMS the phone can't identify the correct contact in my phonebook, and show the caller number (or sender number on SMS) instead of the contact in my phonebook.
I don't know if anyone else had this issue, or if it's an issue related to the Brazilian mobile phone infrastructure but I didn't had this kind of issues on my previous phones (Windows Mobile, Symbiam or Blackberry) and I would like to know how to solve this.
Important information: Here in Brazil, when you want to make a long distance call you have to choose the long distance operator on each call. In order to do so you have to select the operator using a two digit code after the long distance code "0" and before the city code. So it's like this:
0 XX 11 99999999
Long distance Operator City Phone
code code code number
So, in order to make this easy, I already included the Operator code in all contacts in my agenda, like: 0411199999999
But when I receive a call (from someone not in my agenda) it doesn't include the operator code. It shows only the phone number if the caller is from my city (99999999) or 0+city code+number when the caller is from other city (02199999999), without the operator code.
So I think that the issue is that the phone tries to match ALL the numbers from caller ID with the first numbers for that contact. So if the caller ID shows "99999999" it will match it with my agenda if I have "099999999", or "0411199999999). So as long as it finds the "99999999" it doesn't matter how long the number in my agenda is.
But sometimes (like when I'm on roaming or when I'm receiving and SMS) the caller ID shows an additional zero in from of the number (099999999). Since the phone can't match all the Caller ID numbers it can't find the contact in my agenda and shows the caller number instead of the contact.
So in order to this work for me it should only match the first 8 numbers from the caller ID with my phonebook. Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there a way to change the agenda configuration in order to match only the first 8 numbers?
Ok this might be a noob question but I DID spent more then half hour looking for an asnwer before posting and could not find my answer. so here it is.
When I am roaming every time I make a call I need to type in 0+area code+operator (phone company) before I enter the number.
However I normally use the numbers that are already in my contact list, if I click on it it will dial without the additional information, because in my home city I don´t need this codes and so I didn´t inserted the phone numbers with 0+AC+Op info.
Is there a way to configure my phone to add 0+Area Code+ Operator when I am away from my home city? And also the HD2 recognize that I am in the area code of an outside city and do not dial 0+AC+Op for this specific city when I am on it?
Thank you
Felipe

Ok it seems obvious that I can just input the 0+phone company number+area code before the number and save it in the contacts, it works, what if I change my operator (phone company)? I will have to go thru every single contact and change each number with the new number?
I wonder if there is a way to manually input it when I am roaming, like in the old nokias and LG once I was roaming and I dialed a number in contact list it asked for area code and operator number.
I get my axon today,i really love this phone but i cant find the option to allow send my number.im showed private number for the called phone.pls help somebody!
It's usualy a network setting. In my country I can override my network setting by prefixing the number with *31#
Not sure its the same everywhere.
If it does help (and you can't change the network setting itself) you couls try prefixer from te app store to automaticaly prefix every number you dial.
Hopes this helps.
Cheers,

I try this and a little window says showing call number enabled but its still doesnt show my number,i have a chinese a2017.i read somewhere this function is not supported on axon 7 and axon mini too.
update the opposite of *#31# code which disable number display is working for the axon to show caller id! Code is #31#
