Phone Number Dashes When Inputting Call - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone Number Dashes When Inputting Call?
5555555555
Anyone know if there's a way to make it:
555-555-5555
A little easier on the eyes. I doubt that there is something like this but thought I'd ask.
I read the dashes apear when i set language to english usa and dissappear when in english uk, but i tried both and they still don't show.
Please help.
a friend got an s3 that shows dashes.

I think if you flash a UK Rom your problem will be solved

Phone number format part II

(###) ###-####
I actually have the opposite problem. I purhcased a phone off e-bay on which somebody burned their own ROM. Does anybody know a way to change something in the registry for example to display the phone number "with" parentheses, dashes and space like the above format?
P.S. my settings are already set to English USA...I still have the problem

wrong phone number

hi people,
recently I ve figure it that when I send sms, the person which get my sms dont recieve my GSM phone number as a sender number, the SMS show my home number as an origin of the sms.
Also in phone settings on the top of the screen is that phone number, the number of my home and not gsm number as it should be...
Probably I ve set it somewhere and sometime and I cant recall any more, digged thru the wallaby but couldnot find it, as far as I remember long time ago somewhere I clicked that number and mark it as "my number" but cant recall anymore was that on some other phone which probably put that in SIM or that was on the wallaby somwhere...
Please help, how can I change that number, its quite stupid to have that number as a senders number when no one can reply to it coz I have no SMS on the home phone and beside that I dont live with my familiy any more...
Just tested the sim in the other phone... Looks like its in the wallaby somewhere, when I send sms from my ancient nokia 5110 everything is fine :S
In the owner data of the wallaby is phone number from the place where I work, I really dont know the origin of that old home number reported in sms messages :S
Thanks ppl and BR !

HD2 itself makes the connection

Hello. For some time I noticed that my phone number he chooses. to people in your contact list and links. A strange thing, has anyone already such a case? I do not want to do hard reset, help someone?
I am not sure that I understand. You mean that when you click on a contact, the phone immediately calls that person instead of just showing you the contact details, right?
Well, not exactly. It is something that the phone call to someone in your address book and I did not know about it, do not even have a phone with him and he still calls
I use google translator, I do not speak English, I hope you understand me
I hope I understand.
You say that the phone sometimes starts a call with one of your contacts without any reason.
If so, I have no solution for you , but maybe other people have it.

[Q] X10 Mini Pro w/ SonyBread V7SP3f not showing caller name, only numbers (area bug)

Greetings.
I've been using the SonyBread ROMS by paul-xxx in my X10 Mini Pro and they are great, but I am having an annoying problem with all versions:
when I receive a call from someone (who is already saved in my contacts list) the phone shows only the number, not the caller’s name.
This happens because here in Brazil I have to save the contact's number with the area code and the long distance operator number, but when someone calls the operator only informs the area code and the number.
Example:
Contact> John Doe
Number> 0-41-11-1234 5678
[meaning: 0-(long distance operator number)-(area code)-(John Doe's number)]
But when John calls the operator informs only 0-11-1234 5678 and then the phone doesn't associate this number with John's.
Before I started using custom ROMs this worked flawlessly. I could have whatever operator number stored in the contacts and the phone always could identify the caller.
I think it read the caller's number backwards and read only the first 10 digits...
Anyway, as this was working with the original firmware, maybe there is a way of extracting a file from the original ROM and overwriting it on the custom ROM.
Does anyone knows how to do this? Or even better, has someone any kind of solution for this bug?
Thanks in advance!
Try fixing the number to 0-41-11-1234 5678 instead of 0-11-1234 5678, just a try... My phone doesn't happens it...
replace in settings language

Hi, XxLordxX.
I went to Sao Paulo city this weekend and the phone did recognize some calling numbers.
The local numbers (Sao Paulo city's numbers) were working ok. The phone showed the number without any area code (1234-5678) and the caller's name appeared on the screen.
Now I've returned to my city (different area code) and the same caller from Sao Paulo was shown on the screen with the area code (011 1234-5678) and no name appeared.
In the example above the number stored in my phone was the complete version, with the operator number (0 41 11 1234-5678). So, the problem only happens when someone from another area code calls (80% of my calls).
And as I said before, this was working perfectly with the original firmware.
Very strange. Any ideas?

Hi paul-xxx.
Sorry, but I did not understand what you mean.
Anyway, I changed the language to English (United States) but the problem remains.
Any other idea?
Thanks.
PS: Your ROM is great, thank you very much for the work.
Guys, I have managed to solve this issue by removing the long distance operator code from all contacts and intalling a free app that inserts the programmed operator number at the moment of the call.
Now the phone is able to recognise all callers.
Thank you both for taking the time to help.
Cheers!

Country code missing

I have a problem with country codes. When my wife sends me a text and i try and answer it nothing happens. My phone sais the message is sent, but she never gets the message.
I think i have found the problem. The country code is missing. I have entered her phone number as +46xxxxxxxxx but in the text the "+46" part is missing.
Might be useful to know that i have a danish sim card (+45) but i live in sweden (+46). Therefor have i edited all my contacts so they all have the +XX code in front of their phone numbers.
If i initiate a new text message and send it to her it works as it should, but when she initiates a new conversation the problem occur.
Any tips? It's really annoying as i have no idea that the message havent been received!!!!
I read something about "international call assist" but i cand find that setting anywhere
