[Q] When phone is in standby incoming callers' names aren't displayed - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I'm using BoxmaX KS v9.0.Final for SD w/ Kernel TyTung r14 SenBT.
Everything works fine except for the fact that the names of incoming calls aren't displayed, although I have them as a contact. Here is what happens:
1. It takes very long for the phone to actually realize that it is being called (several seconds)
2. The display is turned on and I see the Android robot as picture, the caller number and his name
3. The ringing starts and the name fades
4. I see the robot and the number but no name
The jump from step 2 to 3 happens really fast, so it is impossible to know who calls when the phone is in my pocket upon calling.
The funny thing now is that this only happens when the phone is in standby. When it is awake it nearly immediatly realizes that it is being called and the ringing also starts directly. Name and picture of the caller are displayed.
I have tried several things:
- editing the phone number to different styles (my standard is "+xx (xxx) xxxxxxxxx", i tried "+xxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "0xxxxxxxxxxxx" (without region code) and "+xx-xxx-xxxxxxxxx")
- changing the language, always using my country (I tried English (Germany) and German (Germany))
And of course I searched the forum and other websites and found some threads regarding this problem but nowhere a fix could be found (only sometimes the style of the number helped), and I didn't find this problem to be a specific standby problem.
Edit: Ok, just checked with another friend, he is not displayed when the phone is awake either. He is a phone contact, the other friend (with the bug described above) is Google contact. But I cannot tell right now whether that is just coincidence or not.

Call log missing names

Tomorow i see new bug in main HD2. At morning i unlock phone and sens 2 messages, afther that click phone button, and .... surprize i not see names of people from contact i see they numbers.
New calls is coming with names in the logs, but all old one just with numbers.
Sorry for my Enligsh guiz, but rhis HD2 is too bugy ... every day i use soft resets becouse is freezeng, not working well with my car bluetooth, a lot's short freezes when i use touch screen, My Locations is't work correctly, battery can't survive in normal usage to end of the day...
My old phones is HD and Cruize and never not have majer problems like this.

unable to make calls-dailpad locks up!

every time i go to make a call, the on screen pad locks up. it doesnt matter if i type a number in, select from the contsct list or use the recent call log, they all lock up as soon as i press the talk button on the screen. tried with the hardware button but he same thing happens, the whole phone locks up and i have to reset it. after several resets is might work, or im presented with the 4 coloured blobs that rotate. sometimes i have to wait 20-30 seconds or anything to happen and it might dial, or sometimes ive waited 5 minutes for it to start dialing. im using generic HTC rom 1.66, on an unlocked handset (factory unlocked) on t-mobile UK. ive tried reflashing the phone and it resolves it for maybe a week, then the problems start again. this is now my 9th re-flash!!
still have this issue, although its a lot better since upgrading the radio to 2.11 and using CleanEX DsE v15 ROM. interestingly, if i delete all my text messages, the problem goes away!
when you bring up the dialpad, or open it by clicking a contact, it loads the call history and message history and what not into the offscreen pages. maybe its that taking time to load,, are you one of the "save all 6000 texts" and make 100 calls a day type users? that would explain why hard reset cures it for a while.
i am a heavy txt user, and what with the misses beiing on t-mobile, i call her a lot (its free for me to call her). i have now started archiving my messages on myphone, i think part of the issue was i would delete the messages, then myphone would download them all again. issue seems a lot better, but i still think with a 1ghz processor, i should be able to store my messages on the phone without it locking up

Since RUU flash: receiving strange sms

Hey there,
it's me again!
The Wildfire of my girlfriend got another stange behavior:
Since I flashed RUU 1.37 she receives strange sms,all day long (every 5 minutes or so):
A popup comes up, showing a (random) number eg like 3409362712 and there is a "cancel" and "save" button below.
Any idea what that is and more important: how to fix that?
I guess these are "hidden" sms send by the provider, which normaly stay hidden
but thats just a guess...
I'll try to make a screenshot, next time such a sms comes up..
Where did u download the RUU from?
I got mine from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836771 and it works fine with no messages or anything.
Every time I switch off and then back on (reboot) It sends some random sms to my gf, but only to her...
I think I got it...
after a bit of research I found out, that my provider sends the coordinates of the cell I'm currently loged in via cell broadcasting.
So the numbers I get are the locations of the cells.
After I turned CB off, it stopped.

strange issue on s5360, need help

I just reflashed the stock rom with odin. everything is working fine, no issues, except one detail. i can't send sms to my mom's phone. she can send to me, and she can recceive from everyone else, i can send to everyone else, it's only her phone that i cant send sms to.
does anyone know solution?
p.s. my mom's phone is an old nokia c3
old nokia have the power to block numbers - make sure your number is not accidently blocked
if you can send and recived to everyone else chances are theres nothing wrong with your phone but a setting where incoming texts from a number is blocked
its called the scrn list or screened list
on nokia goto - settings - call settings - no screening
delete any numbers there (hopefully your number is there and problem will be solved)
have you tried calling her? if its blocked on a nokia phone sometimes it wont ring and so on

i checked, that wasn't the problem, there were no numbers in the scrn list. so i tried calling, it worked fine, so i tried another sms and this time it worked fine.

sometimes your network just has a backlog or isnt working as it should - network errors happen from time to time - nothing you can do but wait till your provider sorts it

Help explain stalking issues on Pixel 4

Hello all,
I'm guessing this is a long shot, but I know this group will be much more tech savvy than I am and can hopefully point me in the right direction.
I'm being electronically stalked on 2 Pixel 4 phones-- one is used for work, the other is personal. I'm at an absolute loss as to how it's happening. I've gone to the police and they said because it's Android, there are many ways it could be happening, but they can't find out how.
Here are some of the symptoms:
-when I unlock/wake the screen, apps will be open that I am not using, or menus I don't know how to access will be up, for example in Gmail
-phone overheats often/excessive battery drain
-sleeping phone will suddenly wake, background is gone and replaced with a black screen, date and unlock option still present, then it disappears
-stock phone dialer: tapping on the favorites/recents/contacts/voicemail buttons always causes a weird notification when I go from contacts to voicemail. One phone always shows a 'syncing voicemail' popup in the top tray; the other phone shows a missed call notification, and clearly I'm not missing any calls. It happens every time I move between screens.
-At times, recent calls screen shows a missed call. If I tap on it, it never unbolds-- always shows as new
-when phone is locked, using another phone's camera shows that the selfie cam is flashing red like it's in use... Maybe this is normal but it doesn't always happen so I'm not sure why?
-biggest issue is the Now Playing feature: it will show songs on screen and in the Now Playing history that have never been played in my environment. I've actually watched it happen where a song flashes up on the phone and nowhere around me is any song playing. The songs are creepy and yes, lyrically they're meaningful... At times they're love songs, other times threatening. I do know who is doing this, I just don't know how, and I've contacted Google support for help with this. They've provided steps to try to fix the Now Playing issue and nothing helps.
I have heard about malware apps being able to hide behind a partition? So when one phone began with these behaviors I bought another Pixel 4 and got a new email and phone number for it and did not share the number with anyone other than a trusted family member... And yet the stalker found it and is doing the same types of things. I have no idea how.
If anyone has any ideas... Beyond changing my Google password, setting up 2 step verification, or getting a new phone, all of which I've done... I'm looking to find a way to catch who is doing this. I've heard of cloning phones... Does it sounds like that's the issue and if so how would I know? There are a ton of other symptoms I can share... At times I can't place or receive calls or texts at all for hours... NFC appears to have been used... Weird menu overlay that look like fake menus pop up... Website access is restricted... I can go on and on.
Any thoughts on what to do to try to document this and catch who's doing it would be so very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
