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.

I rooted my phone as soon as I got it so I don't know how the original Rogers firmware handled these 2 issues.
So on my old phone (k850i) whenever I had an unread voicemail, it would flash an icon on the status bar to let me know that I had a new voicemail and when I checked all new voicemails, the icon would go away. This phone was unbranded on some O2 firmware but still locked to Rogers.
Is there any way to get this functionality on the X10a? I am assuming it is something that Rogers sends to your phone and the phone displays the icon.
Also I have Caller name along with caller Id, but the caller name does not show up?
Lastly is there any setting so that when I connect my usb it automatically mounts the sd card? Right now I have to go in notifications and then tell it to mount.
Thanks guys

Hold down 1 on your dialer and make certain that your voicemail is actually set up. The last time I made a change to my plan I had to set up my voicemail again.

The name won't show up unless it's in your contact list.

I'm not sure. Sorry.
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,
PhilyT
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
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.
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..

Hi, so my friend has a Verizon S4 flashed with the HyperDrive ROM. He was showing me the other day how whenever someone called him, the caller ID name showed up as if the number was stored in his contacts. It's not like it was linked to FaceBook or anything, because it worked for completely random numbers. In the recent call logs it showed up with the name under the number. It had a very minimal and "native" look to it. The funny thing is, he was unsure where it came from. I checked the info for the ROM and I didn't see anything about that and there was no app installed that would explain it. It appeared to just be part of the phone. More interestingly, it was able to come up with names that would not show up on a normal WhitePages search. They would show up with my "premium, advanced lookup." So it would appear he has access to a pretty good phone number lookup database. I mean that makes sense, I assume WhitePages just hides some numbers/names from the normal search so you have to pay. Anyway, I was wondering what this was and if it's possible to get with my ATT S4? Thank you and have a great day!
