Caller id on T-Mobile Wing

Hi,
Unfortunately I am still using stock rom. May be little afraid to screw up the phone. Anyway till sometime back when somebody calls me I used to get caller id of the person calling. Now I dsplays "Incoming Call" and does not display the number. I tried to look into many settings but could not find anything. Please help to fix it or let me know any good contact application which I can install. Initially last year I installed photo contact application, but de-installed it due to some problem I was facing (I do not remember).
Regards

try installing a new dialer or changing some of the settings in settings/phone/services/caller ID

Follow up..
Hi fzzym,
Thanks for your reply. I tried to get information at settings/phone/services/caller ID but I am getting following error "Can not read setting from the network. Try viewing setting later, or disconnect data connection and Try again."
It is working for other setting but fails only for Caller ID. I am not sure what could be the issue and when it actual started. About 1 month back I got the phone unlocked. Can that cause this issue.
What other dialer you suggest me to install.
Regards

wierd. the unlock might be whats causing it. are you using tmobile or some other provider?
i'm personally using asergs' 2g touch dual dialer, but its notoriously hard to track down

I'm working on a fix for this. It does not affect all people, but so far I have tried reinstalling the radio, changing to other builds, but any and all 2.2 builds I try show this. If I install a 2.1 build, it will display the number without problem.
I'll be trying to change the format of the number on the SD Card later on today. Right now mine is 1xxxxxxxxxx. I will try 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx and just xxx-xxx-xxxx to see if that displays it.
Unfortunately, after that, I have nothing else to try and it will prove that the problem is, in fact, with the roms that the devs are using.

I don't know if this is something that will help, but this is something i tried for a customer at the store i work at. He was having the same problem so i called customer care and they pushed out a text message to him saying "welcome to your new [x plan] your number is xxx xxx xxxx.
After that we restarted and it displayed his number.

Alright...so I have some bad news...
I put my sim into a blackberry and changed the number from 1xxxxxxxxxx to just xxxxxxxxxx since you can't do dashes on the blackberry in the number field...restarted the slide with the sim, and it still showed "unknown."
I decided to check the sim that was in the blackberry, and sure enough, THE NUMBER DISPLAYED!
I just called T-Mobile again to see if they could provision my old sim card from my G1 but she said that it takes 2 weeks to go through the process to reactivate an old sim, but that I can go to a store for a new one and she noted in my account to waive the $20 fee.
She also said that she has helped out a ton of TIKL users for this same issue. She did say that for some she was able to send the ota provision of the number as long as the sim is placed into a non-android phone for the ota.
I'll post back tomorrow after I go to the T-Mobile store...

So at this point I'm at a loss...
Went to T-Mobile, got a new SIM card, popped it in...phone number unknown.
Came home, called Customer Care, spoke with a tech in the PDA/Smartphone department, he tried EVERYTHING he had done to get other Android phones to display the number...no luck...
I may just have to swap the phone out...

Well, its unfortunate, but apparently this is something the powers at be (Cyanogen, Chief, etc.) are going to have to fix. There is some incompatibility between their ROM, the radio software, and the SIM cards that is causing this issue.
I am back on Chief's 2.1 build and the number shows up no problem.
I'll forward this thread to Chief and Cyanogen and see if they are able to lend any support.
Thanks, and sorry!

I wouldn't blame it on the rom just yet...
I'm not so sure this is the ROM's fault.. as i have two phones here that disprove both things you've noticed on yours. I have rooted both mine and my husband's G1's and both are running Cyanogen ROMS. I'm running CM6 and my phone number displays just fine. His is running CM5.0.8 and the phone number is blank. In fact, I think I recall my phone number being missing at some point running an earlier CM rom and it came back on it's own.. I wasn't concerned with it at the time because everything worked so I can't say for sure WHEN it came back... but I've ran through MANY CM roms starting with 4.2.13. Hubby's phone was rooted and taken straight to 5.0.7 then later 5.0.8 (he doesn't like messing with experimental roms as much as I do. ).
Next time he's home (he's a truck driver ... one of the reason's he doesn't like to take chances with his phone) I'll pop his SIM back into one of the old Sidekicks we've got laying around collecting dust and see what happens... We were going to play around with TIKL and that's when we noticed the issue....and also when I noticed that my phone showed the number again.
It's definitely an odd thing. I have not tried calling T-Mo yet to see if they can OTA the number to his phone... what's this about it having to be a non-android for this to work? First I've seen mention of that.

Currently, I'm not rooted yet, and had this problem, I thought I was the doing of a suspesius app for music download I had, I cheched all other apps, and that one was the current one that read phone state and identity, I removed it and shut down took off battery and restarted. I did it twise, and even thought I'm not sure if it was that app fault, it's solved now thanks God

Call T-Mobile, make sure you get T2 or at least a rep that sounds like they know what they're doing in customer care, and tell them you need the "activation message sent via the OTI" and you'll also need your location cancelled. Works everytime I've done it.

SamZzz: Code mentioned that this happens sporadically on phones with any 2.2 based ROM. So there is something to do with the ROMs, but no one is quite sure yet. Luckily I am not having the problem, and so far, this seems to only be an issue for those using things like Tikl that rely n the number to be "known".

I've had this problem every since I got my SECOND G1. When I had my FIRST G1 I had it in my pocket and dumped a gallon of paint all down the front of me. Needless to say I needed a new phone after that. So I got a new one and it was fine for a while but I got a refurb and still had my original, paint covered SIM. It still worked fine but after a while I stopped receiving txts so I bought a new SIM and its the one I have in my slide right now, and it has NEVER shown my number as anything but UNKNOWN. In my g1 it said unknown. I have called tmobile numerous times and they'll tell me they're gonna fix it and tell me to check it in a couple hours and it should be fixed...never works. I honestly just kinda forgot about it. But its definitely not specific to one rom, or one device for that matter.

The reason it shows that is sometimes, for whatever reason, the sim doesn't push it's assigned mobile number to the phone itself. Making it unreadable, this actually happens on blackberries, iphones, etc as well. Just ask for that activation message via the OTA and that should fix it. As I've said, I have never had it fail for me when I have a customer experiencing the problem.

i am having the same problem. although its not a BIG deal but i do sometimes like to use tikl. but if what you are saying about having the activation message sent. if i change carriers will it get fixed? im asking because i will soon be changing carriers

It certainly should. It's always been the network/sim card not telling the phone the right information. So by changing networks it just quickly resolve itself. Especially with any cancel and then an activation.

I don't know how to explain this any other way....
My phone + my sim + ANY 2.2 ROM = phone number unknown
My phone + my sim + ANY 2.1 ROM = my phone number shows up correctly
My phone + my mom's sim + ANY 2.2 ROM = her phone number shows up correctly
I've called T-Mobile customer care 7 times over 2 weeks. They've sent probably 10 OTAs over multiple days. They have gone through what they do with every other customer with this problem. They suggested I go to a T-Mobile store and get a new sim card.
I went to T-Mobile, got a new sim card, number still shows up unknown in 2.2, but when I flash 2.1 it shows up no problem. I called customer care again, and they tried over and over to get it to display without any luck. They are at the point that they want to replace the phone. I will wait until T-Mobile releases 2.2 and see what it displays...
This is happening for A LOT of people.
PS - I just flashed the stable CM6 (8/28/10) and it still displays the number as unknown.

In CM6, hit Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number
The issue is because there's no MSISDN written to the SIM, and no tag name for it either. I added this option because I had the same issue. Just set your number and it will write it to the SIM.

Everybody...Cyanogen HAS SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!
While my sim did have the number stored as it showed up in 2.1, doing this DOES MAKE THE NUMBER DISPLAY!
Thanks Cyanogen!

The only options I have in "additional settings" is for Caller ID and Call Waiting. I don't have an option for "My Phone Number". I was on RC1 previously but flashed Stable last night.

Did you wipe before you installed? If so, try flashing stable again...it is there for me...
One issue though is that upon restart the number shows up as "unknown." You have to go back through this every time you restart your phone, but hey, its better than nothing!

Interesting, the closest thing I've seen is a blackberry do it before. Can't say I've ever seen it on an android device without an OTA working. If the OTA doesn't work on a blackberry you just have to manually program your number in. Perhaps if you have a friend or pop into a t-mo store they can let you use one temporarily to set it up. My memory sucks on it but once your sim is in the blackberry I *think* it's settings > options > advanced options > sim card > my number or stored number. Something like that. If you can get it, the thing is though, the ota does the same thing. So theoretically you shouldnt have to do this if it is a sim error. The fact you're saying it doesnt happen in any other versions of android with the same sim I would agree it has to be some glitch in the s/w. How to fix it besides trying a manual program in a blackberry or any other device that lets you do so is beyond me. ;/

Missing calls with official 2.3.5

Hello everyone;
I flashed the latest official 2.3.5 last night. Missed three calls afterwards, as if I was not connected to GSM network. I was at home and signal was stable as usual. Anyone else noted unusual GSM behaviour?
Cheers
----------------------------------------
UPDATE: In order to better understand this issue, it could be interesting to know which service providers are being used; in my case, TMN in Portugal.
One week before flashing this ROM, I started using 3G, so I'm not sure if these missing calls are as result of the ROM change. I'm going to switch back to 2G for daily use and see how it goes.

Yes, if you search you will find other users with the same problem.
happens also with the other beta roms.
Sent from my U8800 using XDA App

It happens to me too unfortunately.. can't tell the reason why. GSM status seems ok.

I confirm this missing call issue.
People when ring me the first time they go straight to voicemail and only get connection on second try.
I think the only way to solve it is Huawei but there is not point of trying to speak to them and they just won't listen for what people say to them.

I can confirm this is happening to me too....after reporting all was well this was one of the things I didn't test out.
Weird thing is that I called my mobile from home and both went straight to voicemail...

yep.
but if you immediatly make a 2nd attempt you get connection

OK try this...
Turn off phone... re move battery and sim card.
Replace battery and start phone without sim card and boot up.
Unlock phone and open any app (doesn't matter just do something)
Turn off, remove battery, replace sim.... boot up again.
Just called from my wifes mobile phone and my phone rang OK.... will test further but that seems to have done the trick for now.

I got the same problem and so far nothing i did solve it... Just missing reinstall the rom again and see if wasnt any bug i got while installing... I don't see too many ppl with the same problem and i don't belive huawei had so many diferent hardwares in a single mobile phone model according with all the different ppl have with different phones.

I also have this problem with the new firmware. My phone doesn't connect to the network upon powering on.
I have to manually connect it, by going into the Mobile networks settings. Once i'm in that menu, it connects.

druida_69,
I can confirm that does not happens every time, I tested from other phone I only on the sixth call I got the ring... Worst, during this time I made a call without problems.
The question is on reception...
Sent from my U8800 using XDA App

this issue is killing me.
when I have the device disconnected or in a cal, when someone try to ring me and can't I always receive a message informing that the xxxx number tried to ring you at that time bla bla bla.

no calls
The same thing happened to me... also tried many things without success... downgraded to 2.2.2 (B138) problem solved...
I'm getting tired of huawei's poor support and buggy updates!!!

To be honest i don't know if this start to happen after or before installing geno‘s OC Kernel.
I can confirm that this happens when the phone stays for a long time inactive. Try not playing with you're phone gore 20 minutes or so and then try to ring youselves.
Its like if the phone entering in a zen deep sleep....

Same here
Started after updating to 2.3.5, anyone tried the updated 2.3.5 from Huawei? it removes the pink screen I heard, but maybe it fixes this issue

F****** Huawei. Just realised that I have this bug too with latest 2.3.5 release... I think that it's data dependent. If you turn them off it connects ok...

I didn't realize until I read this thread, but I have the same problem!
I'm over it, I'm going back to Oxygen until I can buy a new phone, and will probably never buy huawei again.

I had this problem initially but since I booted up without sim card and boot up again with it in hasn't been a problem...I've had to test this on a few different phones & reboots now and everything is fine....

[Q] Dialer / Keypad Lag or Massive Delay when making call?

I have a Canadian Rogers Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900W8) running the latest software update (as of last night).
Any time I dial someone's number, there is a full 10 to 15 seconds delay/lag before the phone 'reacts' and starts to actually make the call. This lag/delay happens regardless if I am:
using speed dial (though it is especially obvious then)
manually dialling a number
sliding to the right on a person's contact (quick dial)
pressing and holding on a contact's number to dial
I've tried adjusting the Google Sync settings, turning on/off the "Sync People details" as well as my Samsung account's "Sync contacts". I've disabled Facebook/Linked In "Sync Contacts", based on my theory that there was some sort of hiccup being caused by these apps' attempts to pull data on the contact immediately upon me placing the call.
The other issue is that Contact photos/names are also severely delayed when receiving an incoming call, for example when my phone starts ringing, all that I can see is their phone number at the top of the screen (almost as if it's the 'raw' cellular data), and not their name or picture (as normally would immediately appear on say my Galaxy S 3).
I've searched all over but have yet to see this issue pop up. This seems really strange. Any ideas or solutions?? Thanks!

Edit: I tried a second battery pull and hard restart and this seems to have fixed the issue for now. Weird!

If it's any consolation, it's not just your Rogers Note 3. I'm having the same issue with the Note 3 made for T-Mobile USA. I'm going to try the battery pull like you suggested and see if that resolves the issue, as well as some alternate dialers. I'll post my luck once I've tried this.

I have found this problem (delay dialing) for 2 weeks.
When I connect to internet, by wifi or mobile data, it is corrected. But whenever the internet connection is disconnected , it apears.
I'm disappointed from Note 3 because of lots of bugs that has got especially after update to kitkat
-delay dialing
-not working any auto call recording app.
-not working properly it's sensors.
And etc

Same bug here. 4.2.1. Phone was fine, never used to do it. randomly started doing this around the same time as I started getting multiple duplicate sms messages. Dialing delay goes away when wifi is on.
Very annoying. I'm open to suggestions!

At least 150MB of phone memory should be free..
Else, it'll lag..
I removed a few apps and now am having 200MB of free space on my Phone Memory (internal), and there are no lags..
Phone is running smooth..

Thanks for your reply! I have 1.1gb RAM free pretty much all the time, 1.18GB ROM free, and 20.99GB internal SD free.
Not sure this is the problem.

I got the same problem and i realized after i read this post that it doesnt happen if im connected with wifi. There should be a way to fix this, its a 500euro phone there shouldnt be such problems...

Had the same problem with a Samsung Relay, after a few updates. Had a chat with Samsung, after a hard cache clearing left me with the option to factory reset. Which I'm not very interested in. Uninstalled a lot of applications, then by chance connected to the wifi and sent an email. After that, it seems to be working now.

Didn't fix the problem for more than a few hours. Actually I believe hooking on wi-fi did it, because I connecting again this morning solved the problem again.
I installed a firewall and denied permission for all apps, let's see if this works...

No, the firewall doesn't work.
After connecting on wireless it works for about 3-4 hours. Then again bull**** happens. Don't know why, but this relation is interesting. There is no actual traffic sent form the device, since the firewall blocks a lot of the system bull**** apps from communicating, but after enabling it it works.
I see that enabling wireless even for a short while (3sec) is enough to get it back on track. Why might this be so?...

Prey
Factory reset, reinstall everything, then encryption. 4 hours. Tested during the procedure to see if it dials fast. It dialed, until the end, when it started to have the same problem again.
Then I got the wonderful idea from above to check if there is something wrong with Prey. A software to block your phone if it's stolen. And guess what, as long as it's not connected to the Internet, it hangs and won't open. Maybe this was creating the problem? Don't know, but for now I uninstalled it and it seems to be working. I remember it did an update before the problem occurred, maybe the update is the problem? Will write again if the problems persists.

Call sometimes go straight to voicemail without ringing

I've missed a few calls during the last few days. When it happen, the phone doesn't ring at all and the call doesn't even appear in the calls history. It's just that I can catch them when I see a new voice message. My phone is on Marshmallow with Koodo/Telus provider. What could be the cause of this problem, maybe a bad SIM card? I even called Koodo tech support but they weren't helpful they only told me to look into phone app settings. What I did on my side: I installed latest version of Squid kernel thinking it could be because the old version of kernel had a bug and I cleared Dalvik cache. I also removed SIM card and made sure it is seated properly when I put it back.

try having your simcard into another phone and ask someone to call. just to eliminate the simcard/telco issues.

any news?I have also this issue.they call me,they say they hear the beep calling sound but my phone doesnt ring,doesnt open the screen,no missed call notif.nothing!ghost call!!I tested once,and it rang after the 4th beep sound.wtf!

today I catched a log!!! I made a call to my phone at 20:45.we hope someone can read the log and detect the priblem! https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6xrz84rk3u62aj/calldelay2045.txt?dl=0

I happened to read that old post of mine (I forgot about it). Here's the solution I found: I installed the stock firmware for my Canadian carrier (Koodo/Telus). Originally, I was using another firmware from Brazil because they were the first to get a Marshmallow update. It appears that using a different firmware was causing the problem.

thanksI think I found my problet.it must was xposed module phone id changer.and was a conflict when I was receining a call..
