Hi all,
I have linked my g2 with Exchange Address Book. Everything is good and working. But, is it possible to see the id caller of who is calling me from Exchange?
I can search, find and call who is present in exchange, but I can't see their id if they call me, only the phone number.
I don't have any strange prefix before the numbers.
Anybody can help me?
Thanx

I just found your forum and have bee reading throught it for the past few days.
I think this is a great forum as I just purchased an Imate Jam and have resolved several problems from the forum members.
I have one strange occurance on my Jam that I do not know how to fix.
I received SMS's from my service which I do not have the contact number in my address book.
The sms message put's a name from my contacts that is not associtaed with teh SMS. When I deleted teh contact it showed another (The next time I received an SMS).
How to fix this?
It is not a problem...
You mean u got a message from your Service Provider right?
It is possible to send messages without a number in the from field instead it comes with a name. Providers usually send messages like that for conveniance...
It is also possible to do through a software in my Sony Ericsson p910i called iSMS maybe it's one of your friends playing a prank on you...
Let me explain a little bit more.
The message I received is from my service provider 100%.
However, in the SMS inbox it seems to list a name in the from field which belongs to one of my contacts.
Now What I did is remove that contact and waited fro another SMS from my service provoder.
What happened is the from field nows shows some other name that is in my contacts.
My question is, how does the SMS application detrmine the from?
When I had a nokia 6600 it just displayed a number.
Try to find some commonality in the contact like perhaps the first few digits or the last few digits are the same in that case what the provider is doing is that he's sending a message from a special number such as 646, 501 etc... in that case if your numers are not in the international format the phone picks up the nearest alternative name to the number and displays it.. if u save your contact details in international format it does not happen...
e.g +91 ..... in case of numbers from india...
Thanks
Ok I will give that a Try.
How can you tell what number the SMS is from.
When I open it, it just shows the name it has choosen but no number.
I'm running 6.1 MR1 and sync my contacts with an Exchange Server.
I have a number of contacts that have the same office phone number, and I'm trying to figure out if there is some way to specify which contact info is displayed by Called ID when there is more than one person/entity with that phone number in my contacts.
For example, say I have individual contacts for the ABC Company, John Doe and Jane Smith. All three have the same work telephone number. When I get a call from that phone number, it could be John Doe, Jane Smith or anyone else at the ABC Company calling. Let's say that in this situation, my caller ID display always shows the incoming caller as John Doe. Is there any way to tell Windows to display the caller as the ABC Company information when it receives a call from this number instead.
I've embarrassed myself too many times thinking one person was calling when in fact it was someone else!!!
Thanks!
I've love to be able to do this too.
My problem is that I have a shared address book with all workers at my business with home as well as work numbers. My name and number are obviously in there. In a different book I have my wife's name and our home number. Whenever she calls, my name, as it's alphabetically before here, shows up first. I've tried putting a period or space before her first name hoping that it would move her up on the list, but it moves her down to the last spot of people with the same last name, and I can't change my name in the shared book.
If you're working off personal address books, I'd see if you can fudge the names so that the one you want to appear shows up alphabetically first. Then I think that's the one that gets grabbed with Caller ID
the other option. if you can edit your contacts. Would be to remove the work phone number from the individual contacts. That way it only shows for 'ABC' Company.
Thanks, Nec . . . I've removed the work numbers for the individuals as a half-baked work around. The problem is that some of them are favorite contacts (Spb Shell), so if I want to call them at work, I have to go through the directory instead of just using the picture shortcut.
Let's say my wife is calling me with her iPhone.
But i am busy or have no network. So my wife decides to hang uop without a speaking a voice mail.
I will get a notification that i have an unanswered call. However... thic call is always logged to the wrong (same) person.
So I get the green 1 in my Favorite Contacts Widget but with the wrong person ?
Is there anybody who knows what i am talking about ? or even better has a cure ?
I had similar problem, at least I think it is similar, because I did not understand you completly.
When you have a missed call while you are unaviable you normaly recieve a text message from your service operator.
Are you trying to say that, every text message you get from your service operator is displayed as if you have recieved it from one (always the same one) contact in your adress book?
i never knew what the green "1" is, i never linked it with missed calls because for me its completely random. for me anyways.
@ bookworm...
That,s exactly what i mean
Does the contact have something stupid in the phone number field on facebook? If you turn off Facebook contact syncing, sign out of facebook and friend stream, restart, sign back in (This is optional), the problem should be solved.
TheOriginalKi is correct. Exactly same thing happened to me.
One of my friends, lets say "Contact A" added "xxx/xxx-xxx" to facebook phone number field. After I linked Contact A from phone to Contact A facebook account, every service message I recieved from my operator was display as if I recieved it from Contact A. After canceling Phone->Facebook link for Contact A, all service messages were adressed correctly.
So your best option is to ask your friend (the one whose name appears in service messages) to edit his facebook phone field correctly, or simply cancel phone-facebook link for that specific contact.
Hope that this helps you with solving your problem.
Cheers
Well now that you mention it.. This person had something weird in his contact. I deleted it (he had a weird telephone number. it was set to unknown) and now everything is fine...
Great phone this desire....
Love it really !/ Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than WM....
Wish i could alter my signature here at xda .... ( but for some reason i cant)
Hi.
Is there a way to change phone number to contact name in SMS I'm receiving when someone is calling when I'm not online?
When I will go back online I'm receiving SMS with informmation that someone from number xxxxxxx was calling.
I got this person on my contact list, I want to see name instead of phone number.

try to store the contact with international acces number (+49 for germany)
Well, then the problem would be that if the particular contact calls (voice call), then the name might not be displayed...
The ZTE AXON software has 2 core issues:
a) The phone contact app will not work with Exchange. For example if you go into contacts of Smasung, LG, HUawei phone and you search for a company contact it will search your phone contact database and then if nothing is located it will ask to search server directory. The ZTE does not give you that option. This impacts contact queries, calendar invites and phone dilaer
b) The same thing occurs for conference call call in. All other phones will dial the conf call # and then also the tones of the ID # for the call.
These 2 issues makes this phone pretty useless in a corporate enviroment
Did you get anywhere with this?
Looking at a new phone and this could be a deal breaker.
Same issue here. Any solutions? This is a big problem for me but I otherwise really like the phone

I wish we could get the samsung email app and dialer ported across. This would make the phone pretty dam perfect for me. Even if it was just the email app... That would be ok.
