Caller id/unknown caller problems plz help!!!!

[Bootlegwinner]

Hello everyone!!! I'm kinda new here but I need ur help...
Just got my g1 about 2 months ago and I think that's its the greatest thing 2 ever fit in my pocket but for some reason EVERY person (even the numbers saved in my phone) that calls me comes up unknown or blocked. And I haven't changed any settings and I even called t mobile and they didn't know what 2 tell me... so unfortunatly I always have 2 answer my phone even if I don't wanna talk cuz of the simple fact that won't know who it is PLEASE HELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!

I would try calling Tmobile again, and speaking to another rep...and make sure that you speak to someone in the blackberry, pda, g1 support. They have really great techs from my experience. Sometimes you need to call twice, because the first person just may not have know, but the next person just might. Sorry I can't give you more advice than that. Give them another call, and like I said, make sure to talk to G1, Blackberry, PDA support. Good luck friend, and God bless!

Have you tried the caller ID option in the settings menu? I believe its under call settings somewhere.

Have you heard about TrapCall? I got that service on my android it rocks, it calls you back with the person's real number displayed even if it's blocked!! Now that you got your phone fixed even callers that are actually blocked you can see who's really calling!

After some investigation, I found a fix that works for me. Use this at your own
risk. First, the summary: The file /data/misc/rild_ril.clip is a single byte,
either ASCII '1' or ASCII '0'. Somehow this value is being flipped from '1' to '0'
during low storage space conditions and causes the problem. The solution is to
either edit the file, or just delete it and let it be rebuilt.
The steps to fix this problem on your device without losing any data are as follows:
REQUIREMENTS:
ADB or a terminal/console application

STEPS:
1) Get to a shell prompt. If you're using ADB, it's "adb shell". If you're using a
terminal/console app, just launch it.

2) Type "rm /data/misc/rild_ril.clip"

3) Reboot the phone.

That's it. Please let me know if it works/doesn't work for you.

Cryptyk,

This sounds like the issue I'm having with my HTC Hero. I did a hard reset and it worked properly for a few hours but now the problem has returned. I looked for the rild_ril.clip file but I can't find it. Can you suggest where it might be the Hero? I don't want to have to go through the pain of hard reseting every time

Thank you very much cryptyk! That worked perfectly for me. Just changed 0 to 1.

So android doesn't come with vim? Only nano for a text editor? At least vim tiny.
