[Q] Contacts Caller ID

[Jade.N]

It seems this is a constant problem with HTC Sense build Roms.
SMS numbers show up well(cause the number from the messaging center comes with the country code), but when someone calls, the phone doesn't match the number in the phonebook.

I have stored all my numbers as +xxx yyyyyyy or +xxx yyyyyyyy where the x is the country code and y is the number with the area code.

I found out that the builds check the first 8 numbers from right to left. What I need, is to modify the caller ID match to check the first 7 and not 8.

This problem doesn't seem to exist with the Nexus one rom, and the phone matches almost all numbers in both SMS and calls.

It's weird how there is no real answer about this anywhere...

I am using Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._1.1_Clean_R75 with hastarin 7.7

Advice anyone?

Could it be an issue with toCallerIdMinMatch string? How I can edit the code on my Andrioid phone. Any good free software for it?

I found some info about it in these places

found on other forums also that Caller ID failure on Android phones is caused by the fact that US and some other countries use 8 digit caller Id match. At the same time Baltic countries and some other only use 7 digit Caller ID match. Therefore even when numbers are saved with country code (+372 in case of Estonia) does not do the trick. Android phone code should be edited to change Min_Match from 8 to 7 but now I need to find some good software for it. Any good suggestions?

Handcent SMS

I also had this problem with the Handcent SMS app on my MDJ 2.4 Sense Clean build. I had to change back to using the stock Sense messaging application as for some reason this picked up my caller ID's ok.

Hancent worked fine on my previous Nexus one senseless build.

I have read about this elsewhere, so will have a rummage and see what I can find.

Be good if we can find a solution as stock messaging is pants.
