HTC One M8 :: How To Identify Private Numbers Using Stock Android Contacts App
Dec 3, 2014
On my new HTC One M8 (AT&T) when I receive a call from a blocked number it comes up Private Number in the stock android phone app, even though I have that number identified in my stock Android Contacts app. When this happened on my old HTC One V (Virgin Mobile), it identified it using the Contacts app. Any way to get it to identify it on the M8, without having to switch to a different set of apps?
After upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1 on nexus 5 the contact search seems to have stopped working. I upgraded using nrt without erasing user data. Everything else seems to be working fine.
I've searched and best I can tell, this hasn't been asked for a year, so here goes.Storm 2, I have addonis as well.Is there a way to create a ringtone for private numbers? Unknown?
I've tried creating contacts with these names multiple ways - no luck. When I get private calls, I still get a chirp of a ringtone and I'd like complete silence.Please don't suggest special ringtones for EVERY contact, I don't have time for that!
I just registered here to find out why, i dont like that and was wondering how to get those calls back in my call log - they are needed! Do i need to downgrade or what?
Not sure if this issue is related, but I changed my apple ID password yesterday, and this morning, my Iphone asked for my password before I could read an incoming text from a contact that is already stored in my iphone. And since then, text messages from some of my contacts, when I look in the "messages" identify the incoming message's sender not by their appropriate contact name I have stored in my iphone for them, but instead identifies them as " +1 and the phone number of that contact." For example if I have a friend stored as Susan in my contacts, but for some reason when I send a text or receive one from that contact, it doesn't identfy the sender as Susan but lists her number with a " +1 " before it (the number isn't stored with a +1 in my contacts).
I want to have support from samsung... Kinda tired of custom roms and also I want root so badly. So is there any way to have root and get otas from samsung?
Would you recommend I follow this process? Furthermore I have a question about the stock android which would be installed. Is this considered the 'official' version of Android? I.e. will I be getting updates as soon as they roll out, similar to how it works on say a Nexus device? Or will I need to reinstall the whole OS everytime I need to update the OS?
I never used Android before this, having used BB and WP before this. Also, will the functionality on my phone remain the same? For example will the camera still make use of the laser autofocus? What functionality would be lost if I install stock? Would they be specific software features such as QMemo and knock code for example?
I just bought The Blackberry Bold, but when I get texts from contacts in my address book, it doesn't identify them by name, just by phone number. This was never a problem with my old Curve. Is there way to fix/adjust this?
Just updated from a nexus 5 to galaxy S6 and wondering if there's any way to get the stock android lock screen to display?I need to use a pin due to work restrictions on the phone, so can't disable the normal lock screen to use an alternative widget - I've tried a few of these but just get two lock screens. I prefer the stock lock screen as there's more spacing between the numbers (easier for fat fingers).Phone isn't rooted. Android 5.1 using nova launcher.
I have gotten my phone back from repair, and it is now empty. Before I sent it, I backed up the SMS messages using the stock messages app. I stored the file on dropbox. Now, I am trying to restore the messages. So, I go to dropbox, and export the file to the SD Card in the phone. However, no matter where on the SD card I store the file, the messages app cannot find it to restore.
//Note that I now have no messages in my phone. Do I need to make some messages to produce the correct folder first?// (Edit: I did this, and it made no difference)
I have tried in vain to try and import bookmarks into the Android Stock browser. I have tried various apps such as CMarks, XMarks and others but with no luck. Yes I have Dolphon Browser and Friefox but would like to use the Android Stock broswer for bookmaks.. I have heard some somes have the impoting of boomarks disabled on the stock browser, is this true for the xperia pro?
I installed a custom recovery on my nexus 6 called Rastapop. Don't get me wrong, its a great rom, it's just not for me. I would like to completely revert back to android 5.0.1 because I loved it. I completely wiped the device before installing Rastapop, so I cannot simply "factory reset" my device.
I can completely handle the flashing process due to the fact that I am an experienced programer. All I need from you is the link to the Nexus 6 5.0.1 ROM, and the link to the Nexus 6 5.0.1 GAPPS (Google Apps).
I know many of us did not buy this phone for its camera capabilities, but given that this is part of the Xperia line, it's disappointing that this phone did not ship with at least the X10's imaging software. Sony Ericsson was content to put their on touch on many areas of the device, yet, they decided to NOT touch one of worst pieces of Android. Would anyone else have liked SE to tweak the camera software? I wasn't expecting Arc-status, but I also wasn't expecting such a low-quality experience on such a "high-end" device.
For those of you who want to view websites in desktop mode on your mobile I would first recommend you just use Dolphin browser. They have an easy toggle add on that you can go back and forth between mobile and desktop modes very quickly. If you must have the stock Android browser I have a trick for you too. Open up stock browser, in the url type "about:debug" Nothing will appear to happen. Now press menu>More>Settings>(in debug area) UAString>Desktop. You may have to refresh the Page for the new settings to take effect. Now you are surfing in desktop mode!
Don't have the new phone yet, but knowing one is symbian and the other android I want to make sure there's an easy way to do it since I have more than 300 phone numbers that I need to keep.
I have questions about animated gif file(s) which is send by Android Gmail as attachment My device is non rooted N5 with kitkat (4.4.4); gmail is 5.0.1 (1642443).
1) Unable to open gif attachment as animated file in gmail, I usually use Quickpic to open gif file in my device and in cloud storage because Gallary dose not work. But in gmail i do not have to option to choose the app, the default image viewer in gmail ( may be gallery ?) dose not display the animated effect. So i have to save the file to my phone or to Gdrive to see the animation. Is there a way to view the animation directly in the email without save the file??
.2)Could i send image files in Android gmail as 'In Line' Similar to the 'insert photo' function in desktop gmail instead of 'Attachment', how?
I can't seem to get a working recovery after flashing stock images with and without TWRP 2.8.7.1.
I followed these steps to upgrade to Android 6.0 after verifying the md5 checksum of my download:
adb reboot bootloader fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead....img [it looks the same as before, but I did it anyway] reboot bootloader fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead....img reboot bootloader fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot flash system system.img
I have also tried with and without flashing cache
fastboot reboot
Then I go back into the bootloader and try to access recovery, but I only get the dead android with the red triangle.
I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 7 (2013).
Few months back i had installed the Android M preview and then to root the device i had installed a custom Kernel on my Google Nexus 5. Now i have upgraded to the stock MRA58N 6.0.0 ROM manually using the factory images by google. Now i want to know, how can i revert back to the stock kernel. And is flashing stock automatically reverts back to stock kernel? How will i root again on Android 6.0.0 ...
I am wondering how do you make all the numbers associated with a contact copy over to the phone? For example, aunt c's numbers are 954... and 305... on the sim card but when I copy all contacts only the 954 number is copied.
I have many contacts which have numbers saved under the same label.For example a contact like this:
First name: AMobile: 11Mobile: 22Telephone: 33Telephone: 44 When I open Ovi Suite / Contacts / Contacts in E51 and open the abovementioned contact "A" it shows:
AMobile: 11Telephone: 44Mobile (other): 22As you see it deleted one of "Telephone" labeled numbers. It also happened when I used PC suite.
It is really annoying as if I save/sync the contact using Ovi, it causes loss of contacts data.BTW there is no problem using Backup/Restore function of Ovi/PC suite, nor "Copy to memory card" function of the phone itself.
Ovi suit version : 2.1.1.1
Nokia E51 v300.34.56
Windows 7
tested another one with 6 different numbers under the same "Mobile" label the result in Ovi is:
AAMobile: 11Mobile (main): 33Mobile (other): 22the other 3 numbers were lost
