100% working in Malaysia at the moment! Sweet!

This is amazing!

Thanks a lot for your work

I have only tested it with 1 number, but the name shows up both when calling and SMS'ing - Great!

this ones fantASStic!!

it even changed all of the numbers in my recent call list to the according names, brilliant

just to confirm: i used the 7-digit version for german phone numbers

great work cynix!

will test it out here in Taipei and report back once I get my iPhone tomorrow (hopefully).

The only other thing we need now is to find an application that will read the calldata.db so we can edit it, remove the USA cities and populate it with our own countries whitepages information.

Many people don't realise that when they get a call, the call information screen should show where the call originated from. They don't even know this data is missing from the call info screen!!

This is what it should look like:




oh man you have made me so happy, I wrote the above before actually trying it cos I was convinced it would work and IT DOES :-)

The iPhone even knows I have two entries in my contacts that are the same CLI match and it comes up on the screen that its either one contact or the other calling :-)

You can read the call.db data on the Mac with this app and change it:
http://sourceforge.net/project/downl...use_mirror=umn

I just opened up the file and all the area codes and countries (USA/Canada) is in there.

I was about to change it to my local settings but realized that all the people I know use a cell phone so it doesn't really matter for me

But I hope some of you can use this.

Works perfect for me in Germany with the 7 digits version. You're the hero of the day :-)

Thanks it works for México!!!
Finally the number match with the contacts!!!

Used the 7 digit version.

I got a question. What else are we replacing with this file?

Thanks again, finally I don't have to guess who's calling.

Absolutely excellent, much as I'm wary of downloading and running binaries from people I don't know... this is one of the two major bugs for me (the other being voicemail SMS notification i.e. named SMS delivery failure)... the 8-digit version works perfectly for me here in the UK.

There's still some chance of mis-identification theoretically... the longest UK phone numbers (if stored with additional internationalisation) are London ones like:

+44 207 xxx yyyy

Mobile numbers in the UK are stored internationally as:

+44 aaaa xxxyyy

So for utter control you'd probably need a 10-digit version for perfect UK identification, though I bet there's other shit on the UK networks that prevents two virtually identical numbers like 07803 123456 and 08803 123456...

For the time being though, and given that this bug is the main reason for me to want to upgrade to the next firmware version (which will most likely use iPod Touch type firmware to prevent jailbreak and therefore prevent unlock), you've just saved me a LOT of hassle. Seriously. Thumbs up from me, many thanks.

Incidentally, I'd appreciate it if you let us know how this was achieved, so we have some idea as to what was changed in the binary, since everyone sensible is wary of running binaries of some random internet person (however much of a saviour they may be!!!!) No disrespect intended.

So which one would I use if I'm from Australia. The 7 or the 8 digit one? Cheers mate
