Are there any ICS roms out there that have name display for call display? It seems every rom i flash it only shows the number and not the name. If anyone knows of a rom that has name display please advise. Thanks in advance.
It depends on your carrier and if they support it
Every ROM I've flashed always showed me Caller ID. Every ROM you've flashed didn't? Probably a carrier issue or you don't have Caller ID.

My carrier Rogers supports it. It is part of my plan. The only rom that gives me name display is the Nexus Xperia 1.0.1. But the battery life is not as good as other roms. Not sure why name display don't work on them? Remember it shows the number but not the name. But Xperia port shows both.

in fact I submitted the patch, it works (tested on fido), at least when someone is calling you, and you see the notification if the call was missed, but the minute you enter the call log the information disappears, someone might be interested to make not work that way (or I can try if I can find time and patience).
but CM9 is not officially out, you can get nightly builds or checkout Kalimocho's thread in dev forum.

Well the patch works in CM9 but yes i see what you mean how it reverts back to the number when you go view missed call. It is just weird that only CM9 and the xperia port show me name display. I have flashed GB and ICS roms and nothing. I just figure it is a feature i pay for with my plan so i would like to have it haha. Well thanks
codename android rom has the support.
To store the name display in call log make sure you use anything other then stock call log. Go dialer works and some other call logs
Doesn't this have to do with if you have caller ID or not, meaning on your phone plan?
Is Go Dialer any good btw? From the makers of GO SMS I'm assuming?
Have you turned it on under Phone -> Settings -> Additional Settings -> Caller ID? Whenever I flash a new rom I have to go and set all that up again, my carrier data doesn't load itself. Perhaps that will help. I've had Caller ID on all my ICS roms.

as the title states it is not CALLER ID. it is CALLER NAME (along the phone number). For quiet some time it was a premium feature on top of the traditional caller ID. Now I think it is the only Caller ID feature you get
Traditional caller ID : you get the phone number. the name is displayed iff (<=>) you have that phone number in your contacts (it displays what ever you have)
Caller Name Display (cnap) : you get the phone number + the name of the persone calling you (if you have it in your contacts that information is displayed, if you don;t you get what ever name is associated with that number, like the caller ID display in home phones).

that has to do with your own phone number (display it when ever you call someone or not. the 3 choice is let the network decide). nothing to do with incoming calls.

That setting is for showing your caller id on outgoing calls.

It seems this is a constant problem with HTC Sense build Roms.
SMS numbers show up well(cause the number from the messaging center comes with the country code), but when someone calls, the phone doesn't match the number in the phonebook.
I have stored all my numbers as +xxx yyyyyyy or +xxx yyyyyyyy where the x is the country code and y is the number with the area code.
I found out that the builds check the first 8 numbers from right to left. What I need, is to modify the caller ID match to check the first 7 and not 8.
This problem doesn't seem to exist with the Nexus one rom, and the phone matches almost all numbers in both SMS and calls.
It's weird how there is no real answer about this anywhere...
I am using Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._1.1_Clean_R75 with hastarin 7.7
Advice anyone?
Very strange how no one seems to have an answer!
I have the same problem you have. I didnt found an answer to it yet. Hope somebody can help out.
Could it be an issue with toCallerIdMinMatch string? How I can edit the code on my Andrioid phone. Any good free software for it?
I found some info about it in these places
htp://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1583
htp://gitorious.org/0xdroid/cts/blobs/3955421d483cbce38b1d9c3d3e6f3afdd7c7348c/tests/tests/telephony/src/android/telephony/cts/PhoneNumberUtilsTest.java
found on other forums also that Caller ID failure on Android phones is caused by the fact that US and some other countries use 8 digit caller Id match. At the same time Baltic countries and some other only use 7 digit Caller ID match. Therefore even when numbers are saved with country code (+372 in case of Estonia) does not do the trick. Android phone code should be edited to change Min_Match from 8 to 7 but now I need to find some good software for it. Any good suggestions?
Handcent SMS
I also had this problem with the Handcent SMS app on my MDJ 2.4 Sense Clean build. I had to change back to using the stock Sense messaging application as for some reason this picked up my caller ID's ok.
Hancent worked fine on my previous Nexus one senseless build.
I have read about this elsewhere, so will have a rummage and see what I can find.
Be good if we can find a solution as stock messaging is pants.
Hey all,
I'm running the latest CM7 nightly. Anyone have any idea how to send "Unavailable" caller id's directly to voicemail? I've been getting calls at all hours of the night and they never talk when I answer. Not even getting the pleasure of telling them off!
Thanks,

I believe Google voice can handle this but that's if you want to integrate.
mr number will
CM7 has a built in blacklist also, not sure if that helps any with unknown callers.

It won't help with unknown or blocked numbers. It works awesome on the numbers that aren't blocked though. I had this lady that would call my phone all the time asking for her brother or something, even after telling her she had the wrong number, she would call right back as soon as I hung up. She called me literally like 15 times in a row one morning at like 6am, and I couldn't turn my phone off because I use it as my alarm clock. God I wish I knew about CM7's blacklist feature sooner.
I don't have that rom, but I use an app called "Call Control"
Has a blacklist option, as well as automatically block unknown and blocked id numbers
Thanks guys. I was hoping there was something built in that I was missing, but apparently not. Oh well. Even Android can't be perfect
Hi,
I've been using the Nexus 4 for over a month and I'm prety annoyed by a "bug" that I think there is on the phone.
I have all my contacts with their numbers complete (including country code) so for example numbers are: +54-911-3644-0386.
When I get a call from anyone on my contacts, most of the time, the phone properly recognizes the contact even if the number is shown as saved (with the +54) or if its only received as 11-3644-0386.
Now, my problem is on the call log. Most of the time it only shows the numbers, not the contact names. Please see attached call log with examples of what I'm talking about. In the two pictures, you'll see the number in the example above (Maria Rocio Antelo) recognized one time and shown as a number on the other.
Is there a way to resolve this? I've been using (prior of the nexus 4) my Galaxy Captivate with a LANIGHTv5.2_NODATADATA ROM and this issue wasn't present.
Regards,
Mauricio Jancic

I would add the number to your phone book as in the new number to your phone book. For example if you're phone log showed 123-456-789. Then I would add that number to your phonebook. Each contact can have various different numbers. It is frustrating, but that would be the simplest way to solve it. Another method would be using an alternative dialer.

Thanks, I tryed it and it works, but wasn't what I wanted as a solution
It's odd that other JB ROM worked just fine and, also, that upon receiving the call the ID is propperly displayed (the caller is identified from the phonebook).

Mauricio

Well, then why don't you try a ROM for Nexus 4, since it worked on a different device with a custom ROM. I don't believe the stock dialer has very many functions. That may be one of the problems.
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..

I notice on all the Kit Kat roms when i receive a call it only displays the phone number. With my phone plan with Rogers it is supposed to show the number and the name (names that are not in your contacts). I believe on CM 4.3.1 it displays the name but then once you go to the call log the name disappears. So basically the name should show when the call is coming and should show in the call log and stay there. Hoping eventually there is a patch or something for this. Any suggestions?

the nexus 4 can't be modified by carriers so things like that are over-ridden I believe.
it happens with me on Koodo too. though I'm not actually sure it's on my plan

Ya Kit Kat is really weird too because the name wont show when it is ringing. If you miss the call it shows the name in the notification bar. Then when you click on it to go to the call log it disappears again. So it is showing but not properly. Figure maybe there might eventually be a tweak for it.
