Hey all its been a while since I posted here, I know a few are having this issue.
-when receiving a call from some one that's is in your address book, it only displays a phone number . No name or picture.
What's iv tried, resetting phone, adding a few contacts to my sim, tried adding contacts from my goolgle account directly to my phone address book.
I was on the ZTE site where the same question has arised but no fix as of yet. Was wondering if someone on here had cracked this problem.
Thanks in advance! :good:

Someone put up a youtube fix for that on the same thread you linked. Seems like it solve that problem.
Honestly this zmaxpro is good on the outside but rotten in the inside, seriously. Too many bugs. I don;t know if it is the phone build or the new verity security google or android put on. It's nuts. How can you really put a proper security on something that started as OPEN source?!
Nutty.
Try this video that someone made. I tried it and it worked for me. https://youtu.be/W6xFNNW8PxM

Easier fix
I found a much easier fix. Go to the permissions on T-Mobile Nam ID and turn contacts on. That did the trick for me.

Yes, that worked for me also. Since I have yet to attain the status of being able to post outside link, there is a simple method by Hiii People on youtube.
Here's a little tip for those who are using this phone with a non-Tmobile sim, in which case the Tmobile CallerID app doesn't function right, and causes the names not to show up on incoming calls. If it's a MetroPCS used with a non-MetroPCS sim, you may need to substitute the Tmobile NameID app with MetroPCS NameID. I know this is easy stuff, but some people get confused , so here are two workarounds:
1. When the NameID app gets stuck loading, press the Recents button, hold down the top left corner of the app card, then press the top right.
Finally go to permissions and select the Contacts to be On.
2. Simply go to Settings > Apps, scroll down to the Tmobile NameID app, and from there just like above go to permissions and select the Contacts to be On.

where is mobile justice in the tnt 2.0 pro at thanks
You can get it here - http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice
I'm still trying to figure out exactly why anyone with a wizard (or any model that doesn't have GPS integrated into it, which is most of them) would want to use it anyway. The only thing you can do with it is send text messages to whoever stole it that will show up on the screen without them actually knowing that they recieved a text message. Doesn't seem like much of a deterent to me.
programs/accessories/MJConfig <<<
Just curious, I went to the Mobile Justice site and it implies it only works on GPS enabled phones. Will it still work on a MDA, and if so, will it transmit SIM information so you can identify the thief or provide information to the police so they can track it down?

You haven't looked to see what all the program does... Sure we can't use the GPS part, but the main feature is you register your SIM card(s) to MobileJustice and if someone was to put in a SIM card that isn't registered, when the phone reboots it will send out an SMS to devices you have registered. You will then have the phone number of the sim that is now in your phone.
And yes, you can then send SMS to that phone number in a formatted way (if you enable this feature) and text boxes will show up on the phone...
I've also put in a request with the author to have another reply type message so you can send an SMS to the phone and it will reply back with the IMSI of the SIM card currently installed (so you can report both the IMSI and phone number to your carrier. Hopefully you keep your IMEI number safe someplace already so you can report that as well).
So this is a very capable freeware program for the Wizard. We just can't use the GPS feature (although if the thief hooks a GPS device up to it, that may work. Anyone with a GPS attachment that can test that?)
Sorry mfrazzz, I for some reason forgot the fact that it sent you back their phone number also.
Another thing that would be cool if the programmer could add would be if it sent you back their sim contacts, that way you could start calling all of their contacts and let them know that their son/daughter/employee/spouse/friend or whatever is a thief and possibly find out the persons name and maybe even their address in the process. That way you could notify the police exactly who stole it as you're filling out the stolen phone report.

Actually I think its been requested for either that, or access to the PIM database (too much info I'd think for that though).

This has killed my GPS in my HTC Touch HD, every thing says there is no GPS device no mater what port i set it to... going to have to wipe the thing and start again
Works fine in my mogul and touch pro. Thank you.
Is there a way, other than adding *31# infront of the stored number, to enable caller ID per contact in my 'people' tab?
My number is blocked by default (and I'd like to keep it that way for a variety of reasons) but would like to enable the ID when calling my wife and select other people. The workaround so far has been to add the code above infront of the number but then it seems SMS messages are not going thru which is less than ideal (I could add a separate number entry for messages I guess, but still).
Having looked at the Phone settings it seems I'm able to select "Contacts only" which in my mind (as a dev) means someone has already written a app (or simply extended the current Contact app) to allow for this on a per-contact basis.
Any ideas?
You can try this MagiCall
http://www.mobiion.com/
I was also looking for this.
The MagiCall features don't mention the option to set caller id per contact.
@emigrating: Did you fix it another way?
Anyone else knows a good solution?
+1 same interrest same issue.
But as time goes on you can use the following workaround: or let's say this is the way I manage it......
If you use the traditional SMS Mode and hit reply sms goes through.
This doesn't work as mentioned in Konversation Mode.
It's uncomfortable because the konversation mode is the better client...but the only way you can send sms to someone stored as *31# contact.
It seems as if the konversation mode always refers to the number stored in your contact, whereas the traditional mode refers to the number which comes with the sms.
I hope someone can fix this, or has a better workaround, I'll be interested to!!!

use MagiCall. Set up a rule: for your wife's phone #, prepend *31#, then dial.
I use it for long distance calls. For all phone # not in my home area code, prepend 1511 (chaper long distance call provider), then dial. A small problem with this: need to disable this rule when roaming in another country.
Give it a try, it is good.
I've downloaded the trial version and set up a rule for Outlook categories, just to test. Change the dialed number to #31#{phone}. When I call someone in the particular category, the MagiCall icon appears in the topbar and my device freezes....
No big problem, I restarted my device to try again.
The same thing happens. Again I take out the battery and restart the phone.
At that point the device became terrible slow somehow.
With a little patience I succeeded uninstalling the app.
Restarting again.
Fortunately, my phome is normal speed again.
Sorry, I'm not a big fan of MagiCall at this moment...
----
Edit: Just trying again, because I can't find a real alternative.
The problem seems to occur when I choose Outlook Category as filter.
Just bad luck for me by choosing that option for my first try.
The program seems to respond on other conditions.
It could be my phone only, otherwise maybe I will contact Mobiion about this..
Edit2: The problem was known and was fixed in a newer version.
So it seems to work after all
Hi guys, I've just moved over from iphone so still finding my feet with android.
For the most part android is far superior but the contact side of things is still bugging me. This is what I want to be able to do:
1. Have my call log as calls only, not texts. I know you can change this to view calls received, dialled etc, but it soons defaults back and shows everything. I just want my log to have dialled and received and nothing else? I'm sure i've read somewhere on the net that this was possible on the SGS through a hack??
2. I want to set up a favourites list of say best mate, gf, work etc and just be able to press their name and it dials there number, not opens another window that shows history, text option, dial option video call option, i.e. just direct dial. I also would like this to be the first screen that opens when I press my phone icon on the dock??
I've set my gf up on my desktop as a direct dial shortcut, but I don't want to be doing that for everyone. I've got a load of contacts but maybe only dial 10 at most on a regular basis.
are there any hacks or thrid party dialers that do this??
Cheers
Lee

I can help you with #2. Just swipe right on your favorite and you call that favorite immediately. Swipe left to immediately send a message.

hmmm, can't say i can see a way around No.1, other than using a new dialer/contacts app such as Go Contacts or Dialer One etc..
must say, i actually quite like the comprehensive log, coming from Sense and Stock roms with calls only, i like having it all in one place...
Dialer One would be my choice, but only as i used it on CM7 on my Hero for its smart dial feature... can't comment on Go Contacts
hope this helps
Dickie
I use loads off texts a day so within 10 mins of dialling someone their details are long gone
I'll check out Go Contacts and Dialer One though, thanks for the recommendations
This is a Samsung thing, regular android does not put texts with the call log. I don't think I'd like them to be combined like that.
it is the right thing to do

I like them combined. There again, there could be an option to control it.
Go Contacts is just the ticket
Thanks guys, much better now
Sorry for this rant but I am finding it more difficult to live with these Issues everyday..
1. The call history list all calls (dialed, missed, received) and Messages as well! this is annoying, I dont want to see my message history in my call log, and there is no way to hide it except to view by just one call category, Dialed, missed or received.
2. Dialing a contact by name from the phone key pad, I can only search by the First name and not by second name, On my htc Desire/HD I could very well search by any of the names listed for a contact but unable to do so on this phone, this is really annoying as well.
3. Pull down notification bar would not work in the middle of a call unless I go to the home screen.. not cool.
If anyone knows a work around or other roms that addresses these issue please feel free to recommend.
Thanks in advance.

Try "Dialer One" from the market, it works very similar to the htc desire. And is very customable.
Hi,
I posted this on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49978192
as I was utterly ignored (probably my fault) I am reposting here, hopefuly is both the right place and it gets the right visibility.
--->
I am sure if this relates to this post, but as I unlocked the phone using this method I hope someone else can help.
I follow the steps listed here to unlock the phone and I am using it with NET10 in USA. My SPH-L720 has a NET10 card in it and I am connected to their network (No LTE, but the internet is still fast enough). I also changed the method listed here to change the phone number listed on settings ##MLS# and enter the number on both fields.
At this point everything works on the phone except for a really annoying detail.
Every call I get (and these are local US calls, not international) has a + (plus sign) at the front.
this is triggering two problems
1- the number shown on the caller id of the incoming call does not always match a number on my phone book. This is a problem as I don't know who is calling.
2- if I dial back, to call the number who called me, the call does not go through.
Now, if I go to the address book I can call any saved number.
The SIMM card i put on this S4 came from a Galaxy S2, which was working perfectly (not having these issues) - (I had to cut it to make it a micro)
At this point the only solution I have found is to use a program called Prefixer (apk) which will change the first character of every outgoing call to a +1. This of course will force me to edit every number on my phonebook and add the + (as otherwise prefixer will be changing any "first" character into a +1). I do have a lot of numbers
I wonder if someone can come up with a solution which does not involve something like this.
I hope the issue is understood, it has taken me three days to explain it to the NET10 team, and all they always asked was if I needed to make an international call (retards) :/
Thanks for all the help.
This is my work around so far, but I wish I could find a native solution to the problem
1- I exported all my contacts from google and fixed all the number in my address book only to include area code and number (no other symbols or spaces, etc) as in 305765342
2 downloaded: Prefixer from 253°Below (sorry I am new, can't post links)
I programmed two incoming and two outgoing rules using regular expressions to remove the + and +1 in front of numbers
The only annoying thing is that that app vibrates and provides a notification everytime one of the rules is triggered.
I wonder if anyone has a better idea on how to fix this.
Thanks
