Call Logs trims long Caller ID names

Post by Robek » Sun Oct 10, 2021 11:18 am

I received some calls where the Caller ID name exceeds 15 characters, (such as a "V" followed by 19 digits), but my Call Logs displayed only the last 11 characters of the name. It should either display the whole name, or add an ellipsis to the partial name, (like it does for names from the Contacts), along with a tool-tip for the whole name, (like it does for Voicemail). The column widths should be adjustable, to fit longer names.

By comparison, the exported Call Logs retained the whole name, the HD3 handset displayed the first 18 characters, and a third party Caller ID device displayed the first 15 characters. I had to use these other sources in order to create block by name rules for such calls. I haven't received any since then, so the blocking rules seem to work, (but there is no way to confirm that, as Ooma doesn't log blocked calls).
