[Q] Incoming Call on WM7

Can someone clarify if WM7 will show both the full name and company for incoming calls.
I save all my contacts in outlook and use the File As to show both Person & Company i.e. John Smith(ABC Ltd).
I have over 1500 contacts for work and it's one of the features that has kept me with Windows for years.
I've tried Android and that doesn't do it. Iphone doesn't do it. Nokia doesn't do it - Not sure about Blackberry.
Also does WM7 have smart dial - I'm sure I read that it didn't, again it's a feature that's kept me with Windows, I have a shocking memory and being able to dial by first name, last name, company or telephone number is invaluble.
Cheers
Pete

For me it shows only 1st and last name + picture if available. Company info is a no go as long as you don't incorporate it in the contact name itself as I usually do.
Smartdial: No. But searching the contact list is easy. Just type 2-3 letters and you have narrowed the results enough. I'm saying this with 700+ contacts.

...I very much like to use voice dial, too. Very reliable, in fact, and fast.

That's really dissapointing - as a business tool I find it so very useful.
I guess I'll have to stick with 6.5 until something else similar comes along.

Dear All,
I'm experiencing very strange issue with my WP7 HTC HD2, when receiving call form my saved contacts.
Almost all my contacts are saved in my phone with international dialing code as I'm living abroad.
When I receive call abroad, the name of my contact is displayed.
When I receive call at home the name is not displayed, only the number is displayed and I dont know who is calling while the number is saved in my phone with international dialing code.
To have the name displayed I have to save the number again without international dialing code.
I have the same issue when I dialing also.
Please help.

Apply the following registry and it will solve your problem:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7

It works perfectly!

Cannot dial voicemail under ICS

Hardware is I9020A.
I simply cannot understand how this is possible. I mean, I can usually access my voicemail by dialing my phone number.
Works fine in GB. ICS is a no-go. Even if I manually dial it. I can see it connecting ( the call timer starts ), heck, I can even delete my messages ( I can't here anything, but dialing 7 deletes em, and my VM icon disappears. )
Nothing comes to mind as to what can be the source of this problem...
Any suggestions ?
Thanks for the help.
edit : ANY version of ICS gives me the same problem. Kernel the same.

Hold down #1 in the dialer it'll dial your voicemail automatically

Go into the dialer and in the settings and change the standard star 86 to your own number then try dialing Voicemail using the 1 key, hopefully that works!

Yep, this is what I do and it works fine.

No luck.
My phone # is already set. Again, even if I dial it manually, I get **nothing**. I can see the timer rolling ( meaning the line is connected and something/someone answered ) but no sound whatsoever from the headphone.
This one has me stumped.

Are you sure your voicemail is working? Have you tried calling your number from another phone and accessing your voicemail that method?

Solved my problem.
I've always been using the XXKB3 radio on my i9020A . Always worked like a charm.
I flashed the UCKE1 radio, and got my voicemail going.

I also ran into this problem and was loosing my $#!t trying to get it to work and tried your solution and am glad to report, this has also fixed my voicemail problem

Sms also stopped working on telus using a XXKB3 radio.
I used to get the fastest upload speeds with that radio...

I'm having the same problem, could you guys explain how you flashed the UCKE1 radio? I'm a bit of a noob.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ignore my problem. I simply had the wrong number entered in the voicemail settings.

Whenever I flash a new rom (ics) same thing happens to me(flashing new rom changes voicemail number automatically to *86). I just go to voice mail settings and change the voicemail number to my phone number and it works.
Hope this helps

[Q] Contacts names not showing up

Just received my Nexus 4 today. SMS messages from some of my contacts are not showing up their names, instead just showing the number.
I'm sure I had this bug in 4.0.3 on my Nexus S but was resolved with 4.0.4.
It seems to be where I have contacts saved without the country code, but the SMS receives the number including the country code. What is odd though is that I can click the generic avatar next to the message and it does show me the correct contact details.
Anyone else suffering this issue?

i have contacts without country codes and sms is working fine

No issues here with the described problem, could it be that you have these specific contacts or numbers double in your address book ?
I have had a similar scenario once before on my Sensation and this was the conclusion ; if the contact and/or number occurs more than once in the address book then logically the phone does not know which one to display and will display none.
Hope this might help ! Good luck !

Same problem here, contact has two cell phones. Work cell doesn't show the name in messages or group messages.

Yeah same issues here.
I have most of my contacts in the phone with a leading zero (ie 0424 xxx xxx), instead of with the leading country code (ie +61424 xxx xxx, +61 being Australia).
When people call me, Telstra shows their numbers generally with the leading zero, however in text messages they come through with the leading country code. The phone doesnt seem to understand the country code, and so treats the two numbers as being different, even though they are the same number expressed differently. Quite frustrating!
Googling it seems to bring back a few hits with people having the issue, but I cant find any resolution?

[Q] Caller ID not working - Rogers S4

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..

Issue with the Caller Id in 4.2.2, I am not the only one

Hi guys,
I was searching a lot in the web and I found that some persons have the same issue (not in this forum), basically when you receive a call, you could not see the whole picture, you just see an small part of the picture, and if you dont have any photo assigned, the issue is still there, see the screenshot:
When you perfom the call, there is no issue at all and the picture is showed perfectly.
I already performed a Hard Reset and the issue persist.
My Moto X Has an Stock android 4.2.2 since is an unlocked device, no carrier customization.
Any idea how to solve this issue??
Thanks in advance!!

I have some issues too with the stock dialer.
I have sync my contacts, but when someone call me, still appears his/her number and don't the photo and the name.

I had that issue too but I fix it, all my numbers were stored like this: +54911XXXXXXXX. +54 code for Argentina, 9 (to call to a mobile if you are outside the country but still works if you are inside the country, 11 is for my city, BsAs.
In order to fix the issue, I deleted all 9 and spaces and dashes, some number were stored like this +54 911 XXXX-XXXX.
Good luck with your issue.
