Incoming caller ID

[norrisr4]

Can anyone explain why when I recieve incoming calls, my XDA doesn't match numbers to contacts and displays names instead of just a number?

I believe that you need to ensure you are running the latest ROM & Radio Stack.

Also your contacts must be prefixed with +44 so it can do a full number match.

My contacts were all prefixed with +44..number

But when I dialed a contact, it would not dial. Once I removed the +44 it worked.

So the question is how can it display a contact name when I have taken away this prefix?

Hi guys,

One other odd thing I have noticed is that if you put a - in the number, i.e 07801-12345 it does not always match the caller and says it is unknown number.

Does any one have any ideas?

I am running the XDA Dev Rom.

Thanks, Gil.

Try this patch from Paragon Software http://www.penreader.com/PocketPC/SMS_Name.html
which fixes all SMS2Name confilcts ... and voice calls (if the caller uses their mobile number).

But, there seems to be varying degrees of success downloading this patch.

If you cannot download the patch, let me know I have the original source code..which works great.

PS: Upgrade to PPC 2003 which has this fix built in ! :shock:

in what format will everything need to be in to work with this new tool?

as i think that that fancy nice looking dialer program that comes in the dev's rom needs them without country code.
