Nokia C3 Call Display Problems!

I can't seem to figure out why when my contacts call me their name as I have them saved on my phone isn't displayed, it seem some contacts names will display when they call but some won't... it will only come up with the name on the callers mobile account...
Its so annoying..        does anyone know why this is??

Hi
t_rish ,
Here are some more solutions:
The calling phone number may not match with a contact name and the name is not shown in the following situations when an incoming call or SMS arrives:
The contact is defined twice in the Contacts application (e.g. if both Phone memory and SIM memory contacts have been selected to be displayed in Contacts settings and the same contact is found in both of them).
The same phone number is defined for two or more contacts.
The phone number in Contacts application is in different format than the number received in the incoming call. The phone number may have been stored in local format while the incoming call number is in international format (including country prefix), or vice versa. The number may not be properly matched with a contact name in this situation, depending on the device variant and the length of the calling number. In order to verify the correct format of the contact phone number (local or international), check the number which is shown when the call is received and edit the contact details accordingly.
If the problem persists, make sure your Nokia device is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website.
I hope this clears it.

  • Another Caller Display Problem

    My caller display stopped working today at 14.00hrs and dispite reporting it several times and getting a text saying its now fixed, its not working.
    I have no filters and a filtered face plate, on infinity broadband and tried 2 new bt phones and they both display the same as the old ones NO Caller ID is Displayed.
    I took  my old phones to a mmate and they both show caller display, so sispect its another one of those weak signal faults ?
    Can a mod here take a look at it for me ringing India is winding me up

    No filters as I put in my first post a filtered face plate.
    The phone is plugged into it direct, but it started working again on its own dispite a call from India saying problem is with my equiptment! which its not.
    BT are a shambles and its ok when everything works and I'm lucky mine never turned into a 6/8 multi call to 151 like others here.
    What caused it to stop working ? thery dont know, how it got fixed they dont know, other than to say after it started working again the faults in my property.

  • Caller display problem

    been having problems with my caller display it has been reported several times in last 3 weeks
    engineers came out and said it was my telephone at fault
    now tried 3 different brand new phones in the master socket and all just display "incoming call"
    tried a neighbours phone and it did work
    of the 3  new phones 2 were bt and one panasonic
    dialing  *234# says callers number will be displayed although this only started doing this yesterday usually it says service not available
    do you have any suggestions

    sorry, but you just have to be persistant and determined
    I've has smiliar issues setting up call blockers ( which need caller ID )
    Have gone through a number of these and different phones .
    After isolating the issues, finally system has stabilised ..
    One thing to make sure of is that BT have actually enabled it
    you have to called customer services ( don't make a new order )
    my BT Bill online still keeps saying:
    "extra calling features available" - incude BT Caller diaplay ( free for a year etc )
    its so frustrating, because I have this setup , yet the Bill looks like I need to order it 

  • Nokia 5800 XM Display Problem

    I have Nokia 5800 XM with its version updated to V 21.0.025. I had purchased this phone in Jan 2009 and had no major issues till yesterday.
    Today when I unlocked the phone I suddenly saw a scrambled greyish display with flickring lines.
    I locked & unlocked the phone again, I got back the normal screen. I repeated locking & unlocking to check whether problem still persist or not, unfortunately the scrambled display showed up every alternate time I locked & unlocked the phone.
    I thought, restarting the phone will get rid of this problem, but restart didn't solve the problem.
    Then I thought of resetting the phone to its factory setting. I restored the phone to its original settings through *#7370# code but it was a futile effort.
    I checked about this issue on the web and found that lot of other people are also facing the same issue.
    for instance check the following video link which exactly demonstrates this display problem:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9A7yd-2eeA
    Now after a lot of reading on the web, I feel the display problem is a hardware issue and will get solved by Nokia Care people only.
    I am really disappointed with Nokia for such a poor build quality of this phone.
    I trusted Nokia for its superior build quality and durability and opted for this phone but it doesn't lived to its expectations.
    Now lets see what happens when I take this phone to Nokia Care...

    hi, i got my 5800 last friday and i think its a brilliant phone, but the screen randomly sometimes changes colour to red, green, blue and sometimes purple. I dont know if its a firmware problem (which i hope it is) or a fault with my phone.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem with their 5800??
    cheers
    try to make a full backup of your phone's data and try to do a full factory reset... it might help, otherwise head to the nearest Nokia Care Point
    how do you do a full factory reset??

  • 150 and Caller Display Problem

    Probably the easiest one to start with. When I dial "150" all I get is a recored message saying - "Sorry you cannot call that nunber from this line. Please ontact your service provider using the number given in their documentation"
    What's that all about?
    Secondly I added/ordered the "Bt Privacy" service last week but as of now the caller display aspect still isn't working. Do I need to wait longer or is it likely that there's been a problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you sure that its still YOUR telephone number, and it has not been crossed with someone else?
    Try calling your number from a mobile, and see if it rings. Or call a mobile and see what number comes up.

  • Caller Display Problems

    Hello, I recently rejoined BT for home telephone and broadband having been with talk talk and O2. I have had a bit of a mare with the Infinity and phone install but it is done now. I have contacted BT about caller display that was included with my package. They stated it would be active on Monday 27th Feb. It was not. Contacted them again and they said it would be active on 28th. It was not and again, I contacted them yesterday and despite assurances caller display is still not active.
    I have done the *#234# test which says caller ID will be displayed. I have some rather expensive Gigaset SL78H digital handsets. Caller display worked with O2 and Talk Talk but it will not work with BT. Is this handset compatible with the caller display servie provided by BT? It worked with my previous phone line providers.
    The phone is plugged into the master socket via a network. I have removed the ADSL filters as I was advised to do but to no avail. I am at my wits end now.
    Thank You for any help.
    Neil

         I have just joined this forum out of sheer frustration at our Caller Display still not working after almost three weeks, numerous phone calls, online chats etc., from advisors insisting it would be up and running again in 12/24 hours or whatever.  Yesterday, someone even said I should go and buy a new phone! to try out the equipment again before they send out an engineer.  Bought a new phone, keyed in some numbers, got them to phone the land line and it still came up Unavailable. I even took a phone call from BT on the new phone so it proves that the new one works.  All the phone calls I have had with BT advisors have been from people overseas I think, and I don't think they can grasp the fact that the Caller Privacy ID is still on i.e. our landline number does not come up on other people's phones and all our directory entries are listed in our phone and we can use them to dial out.  Dialling out and receiving phone calls is still ok. They are now saying an engineer will have to come out but I know for a fact it is nothing to do with our phone itself.  I don't want a bill of £130.00 if he finds nothing wrong with it.  I am  at the end of my tether.
    All this would have been avoided I think if we still had BT shops in the local high street.
    Any ideas anyone?

  • BT Verve 450 Caller display problem :(

    Hello, Before i moved to my new house i had the caller display all set and it worked fine, but after i moved house it dissapeared. i'ved called that *#234# number and it says caller will be displayed but it doesnt though. Does this mean i have to subscribe for it agian, if i do how do i subscibe and what number do i call?

    Hi Khushi,
    Thanks for posting. Did you change number when you moved? If so you would need to re-order the BT Privacy service as Keith_Beddoe has mentioned.
    Cheers

  • Nokia 700 call volume problem

    Hi all,
    I hope this is in the right place. I recently got a Nokia 700, and after talking for about 5 - 15 minutes, the call volume goes very faint and I have to put the call on Speaker to hear the other person. Vodacom SA swapped out my phone twice, but all of them have the same problem. Is it a problem on the phone? I have tried holding the phone in such a way that I don't block any of the Microphones or speakers...

  • Nokia lumia 925 display problem

    Hi everyone,
    I have owned Lumia 925 and having trouble with its display as it gets low in din light. It gets lie even greater than the phone's default low level.

    It's the same on my 920 and 1020. When brightness is set to automatic the screen does dim down to a level below the phones low brightness level when in a dark or dimly lit room.
    There isn't anything that can be done about this other than setting the brightness level to one of the manual settings and disabling automatic brightness.

  • Caller display only works on some calls

    I have a paragon 650 on a bt anytime call plan.
    I have only one socket and only the telephone.
    When the phone rings the number will only show on some occasions. If I do a 1471 the callers number is listed.
    Some times the same callers number will list and on other occasions it does not.
    I have put a paragon 500 on the line with the same results(this phone works perfectly OK on another bt anytime call plan line)
    any ideas
    thanks

    If you report it to BT, they will investigate for you. It is most likely a faulty line card in the exchange.
    Provided that you report it as a caller display problem, they will arrange for an engineer who has a caller display unit, to check the line in the exchange.
    It could simply be that the line gain setting is too low, as the caller display does use a burst of signalling tones, just before the first ring is sent. If you are a long distance from the exchange, then this signal may be too weak.
    If this burst is not received properly by your phone, then so number will be displayed.

  • Nokia Navigator 6210 - Name Display problems

    When somebody calls me on my Nokia Navigator 6210, only the phone number comes up on the display, not their name. How do i resolve this?

    The most common causes of caller ID problems are:
    - duplicate entries in your contacts, including entries stored on your sim card. This is a problem becuase the phone does not know which name to display and so it doesn't display any. Duplication also includes the same number in different formats. Try searching for a PART of the number as if for example you search for +353 123 456 789, it won't find +353123456789, whereas if you search for 6789 it would.
    Having different formats is a problem for caller ID.
    - using your international dial code instead of "+", eg: using 00353123456789 (wrong) instead or +353123456789 (right).
    - spaces in numbers (some phones, some firmware versions only), eg: +353 123 456 789 (wrong) instead or +353123456789 (right).
    - MS Outlook putting "(0)" in number - if you define a country for a contact in MS Outlook it will automatically add a country code and insert a "(0)" in the number in front of the area code, eg: +353123456789 becomes +353 (0) 123456789. You need to remove the "(0)"s
    - there has been reports of more than 7 digit numbers causing problems. Some phones may not differentiate between +353123456789 and +353993456789.

  • Nokia 73 display problem

    Hi! I am a new user here though I purchased my Nokia N73 more than one and a half year back here in New Delhi, India.
    During the last month or so my N73 is having some display problems. Sometimes on pressing any button from the rest state, a wavy pattern appears on the display and I am not able to read anything. Sometimes the pattern appears when I receive an incoming call even without pressing the 'accept' button. The pattern continues for about 30 sec to 2 min. and then disappears on its own. Very occasionally, I have to open the back cover and remove the battery, then restart the phone to correct the display.
    I have updated the firmware on the phone yesterday. There appears to be a reduction in the frequency of the occurences of the problem though it still persists.
    What could be the reason for the problem and what could be the solution? I would be grateful for any advice.

    Hi Akb18,
    I would think this is going to be a hardware fault rather then a software fault.
    It might be an actual LCD fault or where the LCD plugs into the circuit board.
    The best thing is to take it to a Nokia Care Point.
    You can find the nearest NCP to you at the Store Locator for the india area.
