Strange link with my contact list - please HELP

When my XDAII receive a call it does recognize the number but strangely it does only link the number (any number) to only one contact in my list.
I tryed to delete this contact to see what happens but it link witha nother but use it along for all calls.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Felipe

Can you dial a number by tapping it from your contacts list?

In some cases yes in others no, this is because in some numbers there is the area code that the XDAII does not recognize because we use 011 here in my country. If I clear that the number can be dialed from the contact list.

So, are you saying that when you receive a call from a phone number which is properly formatted (for your phone to dial it) in your contacts list, it still won't ID the correct number? Remember, it is a simple pattern matching algorithm - it gets a call, looks in your contacts list for a number formatted EXACTLY as it receives it, and displays that contact.

I followed this logic but it wont work to explain what is happening

Caller Id ?

I only see Caller-Id info for folks in my Contacts. When Anyone else calls all I see is their number. Can anyone help me with this?

That's the only way to see them. You can't just see the name of a random number.

Wow! really?, I realize cell phone numbers are not listed but I just assumed that I could at least get Caller Id info for people with listed landlines?

I think that he means that the incoming calls are coming from a landline.

Yes, I know I'm not on a landline (I'm not calling myself)
So anyway, does anyone know if I should get Caller Id info from landline calls

Never in the history of Cell phones has Land line caller info come up.
The only info that you can see when ANYONE calls Land line or Cell phone is the Phone number.
If the phone # is in your Contacts database then that # is associated with the contact info and then the caller info is displayed.
If the phone # is NOT in your contacts database the number should be displayed and that is all.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess the number is better than nothing

Contacts arent called when clicking number

when i go into the contacts menu, choose a contact and press the number to dial, instead of going straight into dialing mode which it did before the rogers update, it now displays the number when clicking the number in which i have to press call, a whole extra step. Any ways to fix this?

i thought it should seen as a improvement?
now you can now always edit before call , previously you need to call first and edit the number from call list

Does it for me too, but as a lot of my contacts have two numbers I prefer it as I don't always tap the right number.

well, when I do travel, because of Roaming/Local numbers, I prefer the number showing up instead of call direct , STILL, I would like a fast way to call, I do at the moment 4 taps to it...

yeah, everyone has known about this one. But got this apk file from somewhere in the forum or the net (i dun remember)
hope everyone like it

yes
this is the one
the only one
thanks

[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.

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

How accurate is frequently contacted log?

So my girl has a few guys in her frequently contacted log and she claims she hasn't talked to them! Is it possible that a contact be on that list and she not have talked to them? Also how recent is the log and how many times would one contact a person in order for them to appear on the frequently contacted list? Please let me know I feel like she is lying to me!

The contact log basically just keep track of incoming , outgoing or missed call ...
So there's no chances of phone number appearing there without without you knowing. ...
However if it was someone spoofing your phone number , it would not have been logged
And If you reach out to a person multiple time over a specific amount of time they will be listed in your frequently contacted.
However If they reach out to you they won't be listed until you reply to them or otherwise make an attempt to reach them. :highfive:

The list only shows all incoming and out going calls even if you didn't answer all calls are there as long as you din't remove them
If there is a number call you and you don't want him to call you or even if not show in this list , block his/her number
