A VERY strange bug (not sure if its ATandT or Moto related)
occurs with Atrix phones that are unlocked and used in Canada (Fido, Rogers) etc.
Some callers, even if they are saved in the address book show up as
'PayPhone' calling, making it impossible to know who it is
A temp fix is to call our provider and remove 'Name Display' which is a feature that shows peoples names even if they are not added. But this feature has never conflicted with any Android phone I have ever owned (many). So it is a unique issue

Where would I look into fixing this issue, anyone have any starters?
Thanks!
Does Bell have name display as an option?

Yeah this is really annoying for me aswell
I haven't found a fix yet and might just have to switch to basic caller id

I had the same issue. It is not a bug related to 'Canada'. I am on Fido and had this problem. The issue was that I had 3 email accounts all sync'ing contacts and some how things got messed up.
Here is what I did to fix it.
1. Format the phone.
2. Add ONLY 1 email account at a time.
3. Make a test call between each new email account addition to ensure the caller id works.
4. Ensure only syncing contacts from one email account.
That worked for me. GOod luck.
That can't possibly be true, if you don't have contacts in your address book, it still says pay phone

I found this issue so annoying, I called Rogers and removed the name display - it's costing me $4 more to have these things not in a package, but man it is good to know who is calling.
Not for Bell users.. been using the Atrix since the 3rd day after US launch, and I've never had that issue.
I've had it show both payphone and the proper name/number... weird
ya it seems bell is safe
and i only have one account vampire 32 so it cant be true
so noone knows ne hack or nethign we can change
I called rogers and I hate them, I get the value pack for free so they can't do anything about the separate basic caller Id

Nothing to do with email accounts - this happens even when you do not have any contacts set up. The Motorola guys confirm it as an issue with Name Display with Caller ID.
ya they (fido) told me its in my paid plan so they cant disable it
im like its an extra feature if anything i shud save money by disabling it so just do it
there like no its included
are these guys retarded
this is such a crappy problem, a first for my android phones

why this phone tho, why at and t?
ive had many androids before, many moto phones
WITH name display
never had a problem. Clearly it is a unique error they must fix
except motorola doesnt probably care
i might actually get rid of the phone because of this, its annoying like hell and i am not paying more per month to get callerID working
Just as an FYI if you're changing your account on Rogers... they will likely reset your contract to re-start the 3 years on the day you change
*yay* Rogers.
the more i read about the atrix the more i think i might of made a mistake buying this phone and i havent even used it yet(in the mail). this might be the deal breaker though. so this happens to all att atrix on rogers/fido? what is basic caller id, does it just show the number without name? hopefully this can be solved.

I'm okay with that providing they extend everything I have including my 6GB data pack and my, retentions derived, voice pack.
EDIT: looks like the price went up a little due to the change, but no indication of contract term.

they dont reset your contract for altering name display. i just called and asked them to disable it and they were fine with it. i have it as part of an iphone feature bundle and i asked them to disable it, not delete it and they did it within two minutes.
just be nice when you ask and you should not have an issue.

It could be. Some things they do others they dont. I called once to increase my data plan. They reset my contract. When I called to complain they said it was because I was getting better service. Complained enough to get it set back, now I'm warry every time I make a change
Funny that I am reading this wondering where you all got your devices from in the first place as I've been looking to buy.
But yes the best bet is to make the change and then call back in a day to make sure nothing got screwed up with your contract.
Recently my s3 quit receiving text messages. took it to the att store and it started receiving texts so I thought it was good, well i then find out i was only receiving some texts. along with that i was not able to get any mms texts. put my sim into an my brothers iphone mms messages worked. called att, they say it must be a hardware issue and they sent me a new phone since mine was still under warranty.
So what is the best way to "copy" my phone to the new one? I dont want to simply copy my apps i would like to transfer everything, settings numbers, logs, everything I have setup on this phone for the last 6 months. I was thinking about rooting and doing a nandroid (done that before with my g1 and xperia s10). but since im sending it in if they find it rooted that voids the warranty right?
let me know what you guys think, and thanks.

You could always just reset counter, and flash stock rom which includes removing root.

Yes nandroid. Keep it on external sdcard.
And you will need to install stock firmware and unroot your device. Search on Google for unroot i9300 and you will get a xda forum topic that has video tutorial for how to unroot and reset binary counter as well as device state. You will need to reset all three and u r good to go.

I use ultrame for a carrier, now it comes down to this> The phone originally is ATT, I read all over here and am confused, if I root it is there a way to remove the ATT software?? will it really mess with the GPS?? will I loose other functions on the phone??? I am confused and yes I talk to myself at times. But I am getting fifty responses all different as to what to do, or just leave the phone alone? It works great, camera is beyond belief. any opinions?????????thanks red423

If you root with kingoroot nothing will happen to your gps.. Mine works just fine. After root, use titanium backup to delete the att bloat and you will have no worries.

I understand your worries but as the above member said, you have nothing to worry about. I have the International unlocked version (Not AT&T's) and I rooted it with 'Kingo Root' 2 weeks ago and everything is fine.
So, by acquiring root, you can use Titanium Backup to disable/freeze or delete AT&T apks. Now I suggest you only freeze them first, reboot your phone, use it a bit, make sure there are no errors happening since some APKs are needed by the system for your phone to function or else it will crash and not boot-up properly. So freeze first, test your phone, if all is good, delete them. I personally only delete apks that I am sure I don't need or those that I can re-download from the Play Store if need be. The rest, I just freeze them and forget about them. They can't act on their own if they're frozen =).
Btw, you can still disable/freeze apps without root by going to System settings - More - Application manager, and swipe to "All" category, and find the ones you don't want, click on them, and then click on "Turn Off". (I still prefer Titanium Backup since it shows me all apks and freezes all of them)
got the root
Ok I got the root, so the titanium says no freeze without donating, there are a few ATT apps that show up, on the zoom which ones have you guys just removed forever???? or is there another program like titanium to remove att bloat ware???? AND A BIG THANK YOU FOR REPLYING!!!!!!!!! I am all rooted now and want to make sure if i erase apk's they are the correct ones I cant freeze. red423

Great! glad it worked out. I had an S4 prior to this and this Zoom is quicker and smoother I just miss the bigger screen + resolution and thinner body.
There's no kitkat update yet but apparently they announced it and should be out in the coming months hopefully!
I have a stock VZW Galaxy S10 Plus purchased from Verizon, after an update to may Android security I noticed close to all my apps now had permissions to modify system, as well as many switches "Greyed out" and certain functions trying to force me to use WiFi. I have been dealing with it for over a month, in recovery the text at the top is displayed 2 times. And at the bottom it says Missing 2fs file... I have factory reset the phone more times than I can count, and with a root folder spy app I am able to see some folder that I am pretty sure should not be in a stock rom. (Lazy script) ... it was showing enterprise billing , and other things....
Things changed after using Verizon sw app connect to my PC. But I am sure the problem is still there.
T
I know **""this is not Possible """** is the standard response. Verizon was no help, Samsung sent me to **UBreak I fix** nothing changed. And the last option was to send it in to Samsung..... I want to know what/how it happened. I always have my phone with me. I am happy to share any screen captures, and I'm trying to post some screen recordings of me scrolling through the folders on my phone. I also have trace logs. But not even sure how to read it.
This is wrecking my life . More that the Covid shut down. .....
I want to find out how it was done, just replacing the phone will not satisfy me anymore.......
Oh, I also have 2 Sledge, And 2. Snote3.... that now look like they have problems......
I know this is the place to find the answer. Help me get to the. *Root * of the problem??? Lol.... please.
Who bought this phone I mean? It looks like no one seems to care about this phone. Its all over youtube but, everyone seems to be doing the same thing, unboxing it. I was hoping I could get some attention to this phone so I can talk to others. Anyone plan on purchasing this phone? If so, tell me why, if not I also wanna know about that to.
Guess it is still early stage release for this phone, not many ppl got it. Youtube reviewer could get early shipped unit usually.
I got the phone but my mobile data doesn't work with telus and I can't change the apn. I need help. The only Sim I've been able to get work for Data is freedom mobile. I have reception just no data.
I bought an asus rog 5, red magic 6 and the lenovo legion 2 to compare them all since none of the reviewers ever talk about what I am interested in. No reviews I have seen have mentioned that the always on display is broken, or at least it is for me. You can turn it on, but it will only stay on for a few seconds and then it will turn itself off. Which reminds me, they also don't mention that the always on display on the red magic 6 doesnt show notifications. The only phone that has an always on display that works right is the rog 5. Also no matter what I do with the legion 2 it does not work reliably with notifications for anything other than sms. Sometimes notifications work, sometimes they don't. I've tested the legion 2 with tmobile and straight talk in the usa and 5g works with tmobile, so that is something that may be useful to know.

Wow, you bought all 3, thats awesome. The 3 you mentioned were the ones I was thinking about too, those and the ZTE Axon 30 Pro, because origianlly it was thought to have an under display camera and a 6.92" screen. Really, when it comes down to it, as long as its a flagship phone, whichever one has the bigger screen, thats who ill go with, hence why I bought the Legion Duel 2. I did really want the Rog 5 though but, I went with screen size. I havent had any issues with notifications though, at least none that ive noticed, im still getting used to this phone.

Do you have the chinese rom or the global one? Mine is chinese. Of the three phones I wanted the red magic 6 to be the best because it feels the best when I hold it, but the battery life is terrible, the screen is dim and the software overall is not anywhere near the same league as the rog which easily has the best options and features. I am keeping the legion 2 though because I think it has potential with a few updates and it does have the biggest screen. Scrolling also is smoother even though the red magic 6 and rog 5 have all the same specs and either the same or better refresh rates. I use Firefox as a test to see how smooth a phone is when it comes to slowly scrolling. It is terrible on most phones for some reason, so if a phone scrolls smooth in Firefox then it is easily noticeable.

Ive got the Chinese rom but, I gotta be honest, im on the edge of switching back to my 12 Pro Max. I love the customization of android, and unless I start removing apps via ADB I dont think im going to keep the phone. I mean, iPhone has little to no customization but you expect that. When it comes to android, I expect to be able to make my phone the way I want and because of the way Lenovo has the rom set up, I cant seem to do much of anything. I cant fully run Nova Launcher, use Google contacts or Google phone. Lenovo locks everything down so much that it takes all the fun out of it. How do you feel about Legion UI?
I was able to install contacts and google phone with no problem once I installed the play store. Actually I wasn't able to receive calls until I installed google phone. I'm used to these kind of problems with using purely Chinese phones though so its just something I work around I suppose. I've read that the global rom can be flashed on this phone which would fix all of the google issues, but no one has actually tried it that I know of: https://www.getdroidtips.com/lenovo-legion-2-pro-firmware-flash-file/
If you want a proper phone though the Rog 5 with the global rom is the way to go. Everything just works and it is incredibly customizable.

That would be a thought, instead of just returning the phone. My only issue with that is it takes longer to get updates with the global rom. Do you have global running on your phone or are you using stock?
Also have a CN (legion 2 pro) 16/512, nice phone but killing issue is:
1) 4G, 5G (voice, volte) not working for incoming calls (the subscriber is not serviced IVR message for caller). Work only outgoing calls.
TELE2 Russia, using slow 3G for calls and data.
2) Google Pay always disappear from default payment method in Tap&Pay option.
Would like to try change CN to Global ROM but still no instruction and support of lenovo ignoring me (usual for lenovo, crap support).
I haven't installed the global rom, if you end up installing it let me know how it goes. There is so little information about this phone that I don't know if it is better or worse. It would at least have all the Google stuff though.

About a flashing global ROM afraid to get a brick or lost some parts like fingertip scanner or IMEI.

I just installed the usual google stuff from the apkpure website. I install things in a certain order though, not sure if it makes a difference but I do google account manager, contacts, calendar then playstore. I use the playstore to install gmail, the google phone and google messages. I don't open anything until the playstore and then I just sign into the playstore and it seems to log everything else in that I use afterwards.

I don't sign into anything until installing the play store, when you open it you can't go any further without entering your information. I also manually gave permissions to everything in the phone settings and whitelisted things in the lenovo security app afterwards because this phone loves to deny permissions and kill apps in the background. I don't know if you've looked into the built in security app, but you have to set it up or it will kill apps automatically. It also can't be removed with ADB or you lose the ability to change permissions entirely. The stock launcher can't be removed either or you lose gestures.

I'm in Canada. Using telus only freedom works. I can Hotspot data from the phone because it has hotspot apn settings but not regular ones. Trying to root but I can't get fastboot to detect it.
