(Android 5.1.1)
Hi.
Have just discovered the Galaxy Note 4 does not operate the same way as my old HTC Sensation.
I have some numbers stored in my contacts list with the #31# prefix to withhold my number when I call them. If I dial one by selecting that contact my number is successfully withheld. The call log does not display the #31# prefix though so if I then re-dial it, by selecting it from the call log, my number is not withheld. The Sensation stored the #31# prefix in the log so re-dialling from the log meant my number was withheld.
Does anyone know how I can get the log to store the #31# prefix to avoid me re-dialling and giving out my number? Some operators in the UK allow you to prefix the phone number with 141 instead of #31#... but not 3 it would seem.
Many thanks.

I've got all my phone numbers entered in the format +xxx-xxx-xxxx, but none of them correspond to caller ID phone numbers with only seem to be coming in xxx-xxxx. I currently live in Kuwait, but travel internationally, so having the area or country code on the phone number is somewhat important to keep track of where numbers belong.
I thought the caller ID number to address book mapping was working at one point in time, but I'm not sure.
Is this a Windows mobile 6 issue, or more likely an issue with Schaps ROM I'm running? Any pointers on where to start looking at getting the 7 digit caller ID number happy with a 10 digit number?
Also I've found xxx-xxx-xxxx doesn't work for dialing, I need to put a + sign in front of the number. That wouldn't be a huge problem except for when I try and sync my phonebook with my Gmail address book via a .csv file. When opened up by Excel it tries to perform math functions on a phone number no matter what I set the formatting to.
I noted an issue with caller ID and the firmware that I'm using (JM1 "New").
Whenever I receive I call, the phone recognize the phone and select the correct contact on my agenda. But whenever I'm on roaming of when I receive and SMS the phone can't identify the correct contact in my phonebook, and show the caller number (or sender number on SMS) instead of the contact in my phonebook.
I don't know if anyone else had this issue, or if it's an issue related to the Brazilian mobile phone infrastructure but I didn't had this kind of issues on my previous phones (Windows Mobile, Symbiam or Blackberry) and I would like to know how to solve this.
Important information: Here in Brazil, when you want to make a long distance call you have to choose the long distance operator on each call. In order to do so you have to select the operator using a two digit code after the long distance code "0" and before the city code. So it's like this:
0 XX 11 99999999
Long distance Operator City Phone
code code code number
So, in order to make this easy, I already included the Operator code in all contacts in my agenda, like: 0411199999999
But when I receive a call (from someone not in my agenda) it doesn't include the operator code. It shows only the phone number if the caller is from my city (99999999) or 0+city code+number when the caller is from other city (02199999999), without the operator code.
So I think that the issue is that the phone tries to match ALL the numbers from caller ID with the first numbers for that contact. So if the caller ID shows "99999999" it will match it with my agenda if I have "099999999", or "0411199999999). So as long as it finds the "99999999" it doesn't matter how long the number in my agenda is.
But sometimes (like when I'm on roaming or when I'm receiving and SMS) the caller ID shows an additional zero in from of the number (099999999). Since the phone can't match all the Caller ID numbers it can't find the contact in my agenda and shows the caller number instead of the contact.
So in order to this work for me it should only match the first 8 numbers from the caller ID with my phonebook. Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there a way to change the agenda configuration in order to match only the first 8 numbers?
I'm probably the only one with this problem, but I have about 1300 contacts and multiple numbers with each contact. When I set up Outlook (2010) I would add a number to the contact (say using Pager as the number, and adding a persons name behind the number (111) 111-1111 Tom). This helps me to keep track of the different people with a company. When I had my HTC Fuze, I would voice dial over bluetooth with MS Voice Command and I could say call the "Company name on Pager" and I would get the person I intended to call that was listed. With this phone, instead of just dialing the numbers, it adds numerical value for the person's name to the number listed. Sorta of like (111) 111-1111 Tom would be (111) 111-1111866, (the 866 for Tom). Does anyone know of a work around for this other than me going into Outlook and deleting all the the names I have behind their corresponding phone numbers? Thanks.
Just switched my VZW G5 from VZ to ATT (unlocked, non dev)
I'm noticing my synced google contacts don't show up when I get a call.
When I call them, it works, the phone app shows their name and number, but when they call me, I just see the number even though that number is in my contact list.
I have noticed when I call out, the contact number is displayed with the country code ( 1 ) and the 1 isnt there when I get a call. Could that be it?

I believe that is your problem. I had to change my numbers to 9 digit instead of 6. (area code) 123-4567 if any are not the 9 digit format they only show up as a number with no name.
All my numbers stored have area codes. Another weird issue: when i call people back from the recents tab of the phone app, i get a busy signal or an error for making an international call, when its my area code.. I look at the number dialed and its just the same number with a space between the first and second digit, altering the number.

Same issues here - Verizon S6 (G920V) on AT&T, ever find a solution?
I recently upgraded from the SAMSUNG NOTE 3 to the NOTE 4. Awesome phone! Running: Android 4. 4. 4
But there is a problem:
All my Contacts are saved with the international dialling code format (+44 123 etc).
When I receives calls in my local area, which come without the international dialling prefix, only the number shows, no contact name though it is in my CONTACTS database.
Any SMS Text and all international calls are okay, as these come with the international dialling code and phone recognises the number and Contact.
Currently, the only workaround, which I find unacceptable, is to save the Contact name and number twice, once with the international dialling code, and another as it would be received as a local number.
This is unacceptable, as it would mean doing this for every single number i have, otherwise when i travel the overseas numbers (now local) would not show a Contact name.I have 7,500 Contacts, never been a problem when i was using the NOTE 3.
I understand from a couple of others using the same phone they are experiencing the same problem. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Please help
