caller id issue - XPERIA X2 General

my x2 doesn't display caller id if it's not the same network(Rogers- i live in Canada)...it just shows "incoming call". but it works for landlines
all the contacts are in my phone... but i also have caller id feature from Rogers when it shows both the name and number even if the person is not in the phonebook. i never had this problem with my old phone
it seems like no one else has this issue...and after endless hours of googling and searching xda i couldn't find anything ...something similar but not really (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512238) related to winmo and not the phone itself. but whatever they suggest doesn't work for me
i've been having this problem since the day i got the phone and kind of managed to deal with it, but now it's getting more annoying
HELP!!!plzzzzz

hey I have the same problem. Im in Canada and on Rogers to, and I dont think there is a solution to this problem. Ive searched high and low but I couldnt find anything.

try to save contact with country codes ( +12 34 567 789 )

Do you have a contact in your sim? try putting some contacts in your sim then try if your caller id is working.

call history

When you go to option in call history, it give you the option NOT to delete call up to a year old...or never. I had mine set to never...but it still deletes the calls. it seems to only be keeping count for a week or two. is there any way to make this setting work?
Cant say i've noticed this since i've flashed my ROM so many times to test out the different Roms, lol.
However, one would presume that the registry entry for this would be the CallHistoryMax DWORD under HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone.
I have change my call History settings numerous times to test this theory but it has no effect on the DWORD value.
Anyone else have similar problems??
S.K.
i have 4 friends with the 8125, they all have the same problem. i too had this problem with my 8125...i was hoping it would go away with the 8525...but no luck. im thinking its something in the OS and not the phone. what you guys think?
any one? try it yourselves guys. this option never works

Interesting just looked at my call history and I suspect a sim card issue/setting may be the root of your problems.
The reason I say this is that my call history extends way back to January this year long before I even got the Hermes!! Info is therefore stored on the Sim. In addition there are gaps in the dates when I would certainly have made/received calls. This inconsistent recording of the info on calls I believe is related to whether the number dialled or received is recognized by the SIM the Phone memory or both. The longest remembered ones are obviously from the SIMs memory.
Not sure where this gets us exactly but my albeit inconsistent record certainly pre-dates this phone and back to my Motorola days.

funny you should say that. i just got a new sim card with the 8525...they gave me the 3g sim card. Thats kinda odd it would happen to two diffrent sim cards. i had 3 8125's and they all had this problem. now the 8525. the only phone it worked for was my ipaq 6515....and that was wm2003. It sucks because this is a reeeally good feture to have, you always have a number on file.

Yes it is strange. I don't think I'm suggesting any kind of fault on the SIMs. But you know how you can save tel numbers to SIM or to Phone - (I always forget which mine is set to) well I just wonder whether this has any bearing on where the call history is saved and or affects how long it is saved for. If it's the SIM and not the phone then there will be limits on storage space for the records. The question then is if it's the SIM which mine must be - how can it be changed to save on Phone memory for a longer record?
Sorry - more questions than answers!

Hermes not showing name display

My provider, Fido, offers a service where the name of the caller and telephone number show up. It's called name display. Unfortunately, on the hermes, the name does not show up. I only get the telephone number.
I have used another phone with this service and the service works.
I have been through several roms and they all give the same result. Any clues to what could be going on?
bump bump77
I never knew there was this funtionality from the provider......
Always thought there was a conversion on the phone when there comes a call in. Number recognition is we'll known, name send with the provider I have never heard off.....
Hope someone has an answer for you!
http://www.fido.ca/portal/en/support/namedisplay.shtml#q01
"What is Name Display?
It's a unique service exclusively offered by Fido and Rogers that lets you see on your handset display a caller's NAME and phone number from Fido, Rogers Wireless and landline callers across the nation, even if it isn't entered in your phone book. So you'll always know who's calling you. "
dying to find a solution
I have Hermes from Rogers. I have name display and of course stop working after upgrading to WM6.
just to prevent duplication, please read what I've done so far at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3078617&postcount=9
I don't have enought info or experience. Can anybody help? Work together or direction whatever...
This cannot be impossible. I don't think HTC developed a driver only for Rogers.

Caller Id not working, hardware issue?!?!

Hi,
Since a few weeks back my Trinity always shows Unknown as the user id of the incoming call.
At the beginning I thought it was Rom related, since I've been messing around with Mary's and Axel's roms. But I went back to the official one with same result.
I must admit that I have dropped the Trinity a couple of times. So I was wondering if anybody knows if this functionality is sofware or hardware related (maybe I damaged sth when dropping it?!?!)
Or maybe is some registry setting?!?!?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Elsral
I had the same problem before though i didn't update any ROM. Try downloading your telco settings again. (Network Wizard).
caller id is a service of your provider so if you disable it once il will always be disabled, whatever rom or phone you use
you can reactivate it in the settings>phone>service
Hi,
thanks both for your input.
I went to settings/phone/callerid/ and set to show to everyone.
However, I think this is only for the reverse process, to show your number to the person you are calling.
However, I still don't know who is calling me. Any other Ideas?
thanks,
elsral

Bump.
I've exactly the same problem since the beginning of january.
All the incoming voice calls are "unknown", no number is displayed.
But incoming SMS are ok, the sender number is correctly displayed.
I've reinstalled my network provider settings (Orange F), with no success.
Someone has a solution ?
Thanks.
try your sim card in another phone. i suspect your operator disabled it. you may want to give them a call.

You were right. It's same problem with my sim card in another phone.
I've called my network operator, he reset the parameters of my line, and it works now.
Thanks.

what exactly happens when you try to call the number? any message or anything?
might be worth a call to T-Mobile to verify they don't have any restrictions on the account or anything
i just hear a beep and nothing happens! i just notice that this aldo happens when i try to call a numer that it's not saved in my contacts.. so i can only call someone if his nurmer is saved in my contact list.. do you if there is an option to disable this?
thanks!
try having a play in
settings - menu - all settings - personal - phone - services - call barring (typing this from memory, wording may be slightly different).

SAME situation I'm on T-Mobile and hubby's on AT&T (work) and I can NEVER call his phone (always get voicemail) unless his phone is right next to me!
We've tried everything... once he leaves our little onclave ZAP! he's no longer reachable unless it's late at night.
this worked for me
settings - menu - all settings - personal - phone - gsm/umts services - caller ID - check everyone
thanks for all the help guys!!

Need help with call forwarding ... not able to make outgoing calls anymore

Hi All,
a few dasy ago i played around with activting call forwording with GSM codes. I didnt get this to work but something happend.
Now when i try to make an outgoing call there is a message "diverted to xxxxxxx by pattern" and its dialing the number i tried to get working with the GSM codes.
First i thought this must be a SIM or provider problem but i tried the SIM in two other phones and there a no problems at all.
Next i completely reinstalled the P9 Lite from scrath but that doenst help either.
So something must be wrong with the P9 Lite. Maybe some leftover anywhere ?
Does anybody have an idea how the fix that problem ? Otherwise i can throw this phone away because i need to make outgoing calls.
Hopefully someone can help me......

Heyho,
that sounds really bad... But it also sounds like u activated maybe the "Call barring" not the "Call forwarding"?
-
Have a look at this site, specially under "Call barring" and check if u entered such an GSM code. If so, i hope the codes provided on the site, will help u to disable the "Call barring" again.
Regards,
Sebastian
I just found the cause of this problem and now I feel like a total noob
While playing around with the GSM codes i also tried Tasker internal function "call divert". But this function is only for outgoing calls. I totally forget about that
