I'm having the same problem. Got tired of messing with it and got iconsoft phonex. It will replace the Windows Mobile dialer and caller ID works. I'd still like to see a fix if it exists though.

I love phonex but I wish it didn't eat so much battery. I wish there was ANY caller ID app that doesn't eat so much battery :/

im willing to bet the number that pops up and the number in your phonebook are slightly different. this happen to me before on tp1 and i had to either add a 1 to the numbers or format them a certain way so that the numbers matched exactly (dashes, parentheses and all). Im pretty sure if you go to the dialer and mess with the settings there is an option for number formating you can change too that would help.

ya something with the area code or auto prepend or whatever. I've got my phonebook off of my tp1 without a hitch.

What happens if you receive the call, then add the number to the existing contact overwriting the old number, does it work then?

I tried that, and it still didn't work. Also tried having the number in there twice with and without a "1" in front. Still didn't work.

I'm having the same problem. if I look the number in contacts and press the number to be called it recongizes the name and dials. Now if that same person calls me it shows the number and says unknown caller. now after the phone call is over if I choose to save existing contact and choose to save it to the same name it will say there is already a number asigned to that name do you want to override say yes. After that when that person calls in it will have the name and number great solution if you only have a few contacts. I have around 700 contacts so i can't do that for all the calls but the ones that come in I will do it. I believe it has something to do with the tf3d2.

It would helpif you say which rom you are running. Did this happen stock? I havent had this issue with the stock sprint rom or mightyrom. Im thinking your problem is due to either the rom you are running or software installed.
