If you are using Google app then clear cache and data of its
contacts app, using application manager under settings.

Actually it'll be useful for any app.

Now, If your are using a proprietary Moto app, It just might be that
its local storage is corrupted.

In that case, make a backup before clearing data.

Hi

I posted this to the Android list, but I don't think
anybody reads it...

Anyway, I got an update to Android 6.0 on my Moto X.
I was really looking forward to this, but it seems that
something is broken with the caller ID.

After going through a few forums it turns out that
there is some discrepancy between how the numbers are stored in
Contacts (only local area codes) and how the Phone app is
searching for numbers (with an international dialing code +972).
It could be that the service provider (Golan, in my case) is
contributing to this confusion.

There are a few workarounds, including creating
duplicate copies of all numbers with/without international
number, deleting and restoring all contacts and rewriting all
contacts.

None of those appeal to me, for the simple reason
that they are only workarounds and don't provide a solution to
the underlying problem.

Had anybody encountered this problem? Has this issue
been raised to Golan? Google? Does anybody know of a solution?
