Calller ID not working?

[c0wb0ycliche]

For whatever reason, my Band is showing incoming calls but it only shows the phone numbe not the contact name. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks!

 

[c0wb0ycliche]

Well I have narrowed it down more specifically...

If the phone screen is off, the Band shows the number. If the screen is on, it shows the name.

Does no one else have this issue?

Is anyone using the Band with an HTC One M8 with Windows and seeing their contact names for phone calls every time?

Just got mine today and this was one of the first things I tested. You are right about the inconsistent data displayed when connected to a M8. Called my cell 7 times and got a name twice. Once with screen on and once with dot screen closed and off. But could not predictably repeat.

I haven't dug into the issue like you have, but I have noticed that its usually just the number...good catch on the screen tie in...I'll test it.

I believe it is a Bluetooth issue. If I have the Health App open, I can sometimes get the name ID. But even that is not consistent.
I gave the app full permission to run without limitations, and removed all but maybe 3 others from the background. Still get the number most of the time.

I repaired thinking that the first was not the best. Still no real progress. I call this a bug.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue.

If anyone finds a fix, please share.

Hopefully an update fixes this!

There is a Microsoft answers thread here that you might want to "me too" and follow.

Also, I noticed the band did show the name once when my phone was locked in my pocket yesterday, so it's apparently not related to screen... and just random.

I have a Lumia 920 with Cyan and 8.1 Update and names have been showing up since day 1.

Are you sure you don't have the same phone number stored under multiple names (even if they are linked together)?

 

[c0wb0ycliche]

I actually tried making a new contact without any linked connection, and it still usually showed the number. A common thread would seem to be that those with the issue are on Verizon.

So without Cyan?

I have had zero issues with this and bought day one. Names have showed up and numbers have showed up if I don't have them stored in my phonebook. So weird! My band, thank god, has been working perfectly

On an M8, so no Cyan, but ships with Update 1.

No issues with Lumia 1520 with Preview for Developers installed on US region settings.

It seems to be a Verizon issue. Well, a band issue, but one that affects users on Verizon.

Yes, I too am on Verizon. So that probably means SOOL!

 

[c0wb0ycliche]

Not necessarily, since it seems to be multiple devices on Verizon, I'd imagine it's something with the band that needs fixing so wouldn't be reliant on Verizon pushing out a fix.

 

[c0wb0ycliche]

Maybe this app update today will fix things?

Did it?

I think it has more to do with Verizon firmware rather than the band.

This has really been proven handy. I was washing my lunch container at work when the phone rang, the band vibrated and i was able to look to see who was calling without having to pull my phone out of my pocket. That's a PLUS for me
