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 :/

privus isn't bad. its a paid service though. cost me 5 a month. when a call comes in it will activate data give real callers name . like true caller id. then after it shuts data down. its a option. i go all day on my phone battery isn't a issue with privus.

What i am curious about is if your just saving the contacts to your sim card if that is the reason why its not working. My Stock Rom worked fine on caller id and it also works fine on MightyROM. I have copied all of my contacts to the sim and also have them in the rom.

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.

nop sir , it is not only one number not two it i for multiple phone numbers .....multiple contacts .
using ACT , I changed the matching ID number from 8 into 7 and 6 and it did not work .

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.
