Caller name display

Hi All!
I have 2 contact list. First on XDA II memory, and second on my SIM card (this list i using with old phone like Simens S35).
I have a strange and BIG problem. All names of caller who make call to my phone will be not displayed. I can see only incoming call number if caller information missing on SIM card contact list. (but caller information may be include in XDA II Contact's)
Contacts information have format like +7 (921) XXXXXXX (or other +44, +49 ...)
What the problem?
How i can see caller information from my XDA II contact list at incoming call?
Any body HELP
With best regards, Maxim
P.S. Sorry for my english

most cellphones have both room for numbers on the sim card and in the phones internal mem
so if you cant solve it any other way you could always delete the content of the sim card and just use the contacts on your xda and your phone

Example:
I have record on my SIM like "Piter Mobile +7 (921) 1234567" and record in XDA II "Piter Gabriel +7 (921) 1234567"
Piter calling on my phone... I see "Piter Mobile". If i delete this record from SIM contact list, i can't see "Piter Gabriel". I see only "+79211234567".
What's problem?

Pls check numbers at SIM and at XDA carefully. Think you have different numbers at both devices.

No. Phone number from SIM and from XDA contact's is identical.

Suppose I know You use your XDA with Nokia? SIM is not inside your XDA? If so you have to receive information (address book as well!!!) from your phone via bluetuth or irda. I.e. if you dont have contacts at the SIM card your XDA will display numbers RECEIVED FROM YOUR PHONE. i THINK

No. I use at same time only ONE device
Now XDA II. SIM card into XDA

Draft! Im not crazy
I have a real problem. All standart metod to resolve already tested (may be :? )

hmm How you delete record from your SIM?

Will test on my Xda the same. Maybe smth find

To add/delete numbers to the SIM card, you can go to the SIM manager app (built in).
It will allow you to export numbers to your contact list as well. To make a number go from a contact to the SIM card, you need a third-party program. Pocket Informant (best PIM there is, IMO) can do this, don't know of any others that can off the top of my head.

Text Forwarding App?

Just wondering, is there a text forwarding app that would work for my situation?
I have Fongo, which is an app that lets you make free calls and I texting with the app (only works on wifi).
Is there a way to route that text through my service provider (which is prepaid, no data plan)?
Thanks for your help!

copy and paste.

I'm looking for a way to route my texts so that I can read them without having internet.
Does that make sense? Is this even possible?

I don't think that's possible.

So with some work you might be able to set something up with Google Voice.
I'm in the US so can't exactly test it out for you but it would depend on GVMax (a web service) being able to send text to a Canadian number since Google Voice cannot.
1) You can setup a Google Voice from Canada by using an app such as Burner for a temporary US number and a US web proxy for the webpage setup.
2) in gmail, setup a contact group , such as "Prepaid", with just your canadian prepaid phone number.
3) login to your google account at GVMax and follow instructions for setting it up, or use the auto setup.
4) in GVMax, have it monitor your GV sms and set up a notifier by checking "Send SMS" and putting "Prepaid" (or whatever your gmail contact group is called) in as the sms group.
Now when someone writes your google voice number it is forwarded to your prepaid phone number.
Like I said, not very easy but it should work lol.
If you want just PM me for help and/or I can test to see if GVMax can even forward to a canadian number if you have one for me to use.(i can't find a temporary canadian number like Burner app has for US number)

Change phone dialer for one with speed dial or favourites

Ok
Next question, my phone dialer is accessed through a 'bluetooth ' icon on the home page, it is ok but does not have a favourites or often dialed icon or ability.
I would like to change that to a basic phone dialer with contacts and speed dial ability, any help appreciated.
I have seen a link that stated that because the HU does not have the phone module then it cant happen, soooooo is there a good app that works with these limitations to only have a speed dial function, the rest I can live with.

I have a sort of work around. I will get you the info tomorrow but it involved head unit, true contacts and a dialer. I get an error saying no mobile network but it'll dial using T9 dialer, contacts, etc.

ok thanks

@TT_Vert have you found a solution or the dialer that works. Thanks

Sent from my A0001 using XDA-Developers mobile app

[SM-G935FD] [Dual-SIM] Contacts Sim1 or Sim2?

anyone know if there is any way to assign a contact to use a particular Sim with out switching using the Sim manager, when yo dial a number you get the option to select the Sim to use but the contact seem to only use the selected Sim ATM i hang up and you can the redial and select the Sim ( i have my home Sim and works Sim in the phone )
I have tried Samsung but the are unhelpful as i am using the phone in the UK and its not supported in this region,
If anyone in a region where the dual Sim version is supported has 5 mins to chat to samsung via there web chat can ask the question if there is any way to set a contact to dial using sim1 and another contact to use sim2 the ask them to request the feature be added via there dev team it may get added or i may just have to go back to LG as they have better call control..
thanks in advance

Hi,
I also have a G935FD and indeed, you're right I haven't found anything to be able to choose from which sim card you want to call when calling via contacts. It works only when you dial from the touchpad...
Complaining at Samsung might help to implement that process in the upcoming updates.

Just found a new option that will allow you to select "Always Ask" its not perfect but it helps

This is exactly what I found bit annoying, you couldn't set preference per number as which SIM to use out of the box (by not using any app.. just plain OS based solution), I couldn't find any. Tried asking on this & other forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/sgs7-changes-marshmallow-t3353208
On the play store, found couple of paid apps that were doing the job, but one of them was not working on v6.0.1 (app creator was still in process of upgrading app to work on MM v6.0.1), another app gives you 7 days of free usage but costed £5 after that. I also tried to create a solution using Tasker, but it required a plugin which was first app that I mentioned was still under upgrade.
Frustrated with these problems, I decided to take control myself & now I'm in the process of developing an app that will exactly address the number-SIM preference. I found that Android has exposed a multi SIM API in version 5.1, but it's so poorly documented that I got really really angry about lack of information. Somehow I managed to build a workable copy of app. In this app you can specify rules based on Regular Expression number matching as which SIM to use if the dialed number matches regular expression specified. There is also an auto learning feature, where it will remember SIM for a number to dial.
As I said, I'm still in the process of developing this app, it's not professionally perfect but definitely does the job for now.. (It takes lot of time as I'm not an app developer & devoting time is a problem ), there are many features I want to implement in this app, but let's see when I find time. It's working perfectly on my S7E dual sim (I can't guarantee that it will work on any other device - although it should as app is built using androind 5.1 API -- I haven't tested on any other device).
If you need a copy of APK, do PM me & I'll send you one.. I've also posted same message here.

i will be interested to see the final version, ask always is working as a temporary fix.

preferred sim not working
for me if i click on a contact to call someone then it asks call from sim1 or sim 2 but i already chooses sim2 as preference. if i use swipe it is going from sim 2.

There are apps that let you text and make calls over wifi or data, but it is not free to receive calls. There is an app called next plus that I use for text only.

Look into AirDroid and see if it will do what you want it to do.

It's odd that the Windows client has a contact manager. I personally don't use that feature, so I don't know why it's there, but I do suspect it allows you to make and receive calls on the PC. I thought it might do more.
One thing that may work is Google Voice, if Google still has the service available. You'd have to link your number to Google Voice, but then Google Voice would work on the phone with no SIM, once you install it.

Google Voice works for phones that have no SIM. It sends the call via WiFi. In fact, several years ago this was a recommended method of repurposing an old phone. I don't know if that has changed or not, as I have no need of doing what you're attempting.
