I am not sure if this has to do with android in general or the specific motoblur rom in use by the Droid PRO. I have photos saved to some people in my phonebook, as most of you do. However, sometimes when I call these people, or they call me, instead of getting their contact picture appear I get this (the default image):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't understand what is causing this to happen. Could it have something to do with google voice forwarding?
Update:
I think this one describes it:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=0f0426af87896e06&hl=en
Essentially, incoming phone calls through my GV show the contact photo of the person trying to reach me, as is expected. *That must be because the phone registers the correct phone number upon incoming call and properly associates it with the person's contact photo that I have saved with Google Contacts. *Outgoing calls are automatically routed through GV, and use a different GV assigned phone number, but although after the GV bubble with the routing phone # disappears, and the person's name and real phone number appears, the contact photo remains a blank. *Calling the same person without GV produces the proper contact photo.
So does anyone know a way to make GV properly associate the outgoing calls with the contact photos?
Is the problem with all contacts or is it isolated to a more specific group? I have an atrix, and before a rom upgrade all my contacts worked fine. Since then I've been having issues with facebook contacts pictures but not in all areas. My contacts list works fine, as well as incoming/outgoing calls, but sms and home screen widgets only load a few images. All manually entered pics work, and a select few facebook contacts work as well.
Some questions to isolate the issue - are you using a custom rom, stock, or updated factory rom? Is this a new issue since an upgrade or a recently installed app? And finally, do the pics work in some areas but not others?

I am using the updated rom.
I am quite sure that the problem is with Google Voice's forwarding, and the phone not associating the forwarding number with the contact. In fact, the default dialer application shows the routed number in outgoing calls, which led me to switch to Dialer One, since it would properly display the outgoing calls true phone numbers and not GV's routed ones.
As I've said, when I turn off GV, my phone properly displays the contact photos since it's not using GV's routed numbers.
That narrows it down pretty well. Obviously gv is the problem. Maybe there's an update to gv? I'm not familiar with it but will check into it when I get a chance.

I have a huge caller id problem with htc diamond2.
Outlook 2007 and HTC DIamond2.
The problem...
1. My default settings.
My phone numbers are stored without any masks by default in outlook 2007.
Example: Smith, John: +38970333333.
(+389-70-333333 +country code-area code-phone number)
If you dial from another country you will have to dial +38970333333.
After importing all my numbers in HTC D2 contact book the problems started.
Caller ID is not recognizing any incoming number stored by default.
If the incoming number from Smith, John is stored by default as +38970333333 the caller id is only bringing up the short number version 070333333.
Well I was sure that I will fix this with the registry change of the Caller ID match rule.
Caller ID rule: from 8 to 7 (and 6 and 5 .. ) trailing digits for Call ID match.
* HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:7 (and 6 and 5 ... )
Immediately after the restart the I faced the fact that I won’t have any sleep in the next few nights.
2. What I found out later was that the only way for caller ID to work was to have a full number stored but with the zero in the area code included ?!!
So now in Diamond2 phone book ,
Smith, John: +38970333333 /(+389-70-333333 +country code-area code-phone number) is now stored as :
Smith, John: +389070333333 / (+389-070-333333 +country code-full area code-phone number)
This way,
a. the caller id works perfectly;
b. when dialing from the phone book, that extra zero (070) is somehow automatically removed ( I can see that while the phone is dialing the number) and there are no problems;
c. when sending SMS from the phone book, that extra zero (070) is NOT automatically removed so sending SMS from the phonebook is NOT working.
SMS can be send only manually with typing:
- the phone number a in full version without the extra zero +38970333333 or
- the phone number in short version with the zero 070333333.
_________
I travel a lot, and advices like "put your number in short version" won’t work for me.
Why that Caller id match rule is not working?
Same default format (Smith, John: +38970333333. (+389-70-333333 +country code-area code-phone number) worked perfectly with my htc diamond1 with CalIidMatch value 7.
At this moment and after few sleepless nights and lots of hours of reading and digging and hard resets, I am out of ideas.
Please advice.
Thanks,
KraFT

Have you tried to save all the phone numbers in this format:
+country (area without zero) local
I have mine all like this and when you use the outlook "form" which you can get by double tapping on the field and put in the data, the phone# will end up like that.

i think htc have a fix for that problem now
HTC Fix
Hi,
Had the same problem - the fix from this link fixed it...
http://www.htc.com/in/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=673&news_id=257
Have you checked it out already?
--Ashwin
I had weird caller ID problems before.
It turns out this was because the first time I started up my device, I didn't have a SIM in there.
When I did a hard reset with a SIM present (and selected Yes when asked to copy the SIM contacts), everything worked afterwards.
I recently changed plans and now have to be careful of my sms 300 limit. I have GV and thought I could send and receive text's via my N1,that would not count as sms messages on my TMOUSA account.
How can I do that? I mean...can I do that with out having to go to Google Voice via my browser? Thanks for any advice.
If you have an N1, Google voice is built in. Use the GV app for texting.
Just make sure to either turn off the forwarding to your phone's real phone number, or you don't respond to texts via the normal SMS app (or any of the 3rd party apps like Handcent or ChompSMS). If you respond to a text with anything other than the GV app, it will count as an SMS from your phone.
I tried this for awhile, but the GV App didn't appear to update very that quickly when I got new text messages. But this was a while back (before the N1 was released), so maybe the GV app has gotten better.
Give out your GV number
Use it
???
Profit
Nice! Off-topic, but nice to know that someone else in the area has a Nexus One. I thought I might be the only one.

2. Use the "Voice" app on your phone.
3. Win!
i use the voice app for texts and it works great, i went from under 200 texts a month to 1 or 2, considering dropping the text plan completely. only disadvantage is it does not do picture messaging and some services do not respond to the sms from gvoice as it isnt a proper sms from what ive read, unfortunately i am unable to find the source where i read this. just to comment on jrard44's post, there was an update which made it a push rather than timed so the app has seen a great improvement since you probably used it like you mention
Thank you all for the quick response and knowledge. Very much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
We just published a new version of ringtext messenger
LINK: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lk.ringtext
We are currently looking for users who can test and give us feedback regarding marketing and distribution. All help and feedback greatly appreciated!
How does ringtext work?
ringtext uses underlying "missed calls" technology to send and receive messages. Unlike similar apps (Whatsapp, WeChat, Viber and Line) you don't need WIFI or 3G, 4G mobile internet to exchange messages. Instead ringtext does a "Missed Call" to a regular (mobile) phone, to deliver your message. Missed calls are Worldwide totally free of all charges!

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
FEATURES:
- small size app (1.25MB) and register (email address for password recovery) within 10 seconds
- Always exchange text messages (doesn't matter anymore if your online or offline)
- 100% free, no charge, direct or hidden, to download or use this App, no pop-up ads
- if using underlying "missed calls" no data-plan needed, and no provider (call, setup or connection) costs!
- benefits are huge for kids without mobile data, backpackers out of data coverage, as well as international business travellers seeking to avoid roaming costs
Example using ringtext
John starts to call Rohan and quickly disconnects the call just after hearing the first ring tone to avoid (setup or call) costs. Rohan will notice this as a "missed call" from John, but understands his "free message". This is commonly used by millions of people as a way of communicating pre-agreed messages for free, because a missed call (unanswered call) is totally free of charges. In ringtext we use this missed call technique and made it look as visible messages. You get 100 customisable messages specific for offline use and exchange these messages all over the world with a 100% free missed call. When ringtext users reply, receivers get the message in the same conversation screen.
Why is ringtext free?
We think that If Your App Isn't Free, Another One Will Be. We developed ringtext messenger for testing our offline exchange technique in other industries, and could make some money there. The missed Call technology is old, but not old fashioned we learn everyday from using it. There are lots of applications and our test-users liked it very much and asked us to make ringtext publicly available for daily use. We accepted the challenge, made a cool blue interface, and here it is. There is no charge, direct or hidden, to download or use this App. The ringtext messenger App does not install any spy-ware or ad-ware along with it. It does not populate user's screen with pop-up ads. We know the App’s benefits are huge for many audiences, including kids without mobile data, backpackers out of data coverage, as well as international business travellers seeking to avoid roaming costs
Again, looking for your comments, questions, tips and contribution for the ringtext translation in your language. Let's make ringtext available to everyone in the world!
Thanks, igo

As per the title, its just the number which displays instead name. I've noticed that multiple contact syncs are active and disabled all except for one which I require. But still the problem persists. I've also selected the preferred contacts which needs to be sorted on contact settings which didn't work too.
On a related note, our network provider does not send the CLID with the country code but just raw number... Nevertheless, the contacts on my account stored are with the country code including `+` sign. Whatsoever, the contact app should display the saved contact name despite how it is saved since the number is available.
Are there any work around to over come this issue? or is this really a bug in the OS?

this problem can happen if you have 1 number stored in multiple names.
delete all the contacts, save only 1 number under 1 name & try to call from that no.
you need to optimize your duplicate contacts, use this app, works wonders...

Well, I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with duplicated contacts as I've checked it. Certain people says that it can be due to the OS as well. Now, what my question is that flashing another regional OS will work out or not. If so, how to do it as I've never meddled with a Samsung device at all.
Hi There!
I've flashed another regional stock ROM from Sammobile which fixed the issue. I'm not too sure what had gone wrong but assuming that it was the OS which was causing issue.
Thank you for all the support.

Have you tried saving "Your Darling" to your list of contacts without the country code?
Perhaps "My Darling Phone" for one and "My Darling SMS" for the other.
+1 is US and Canada
