OT: Android Marshmallow and contacts

[Mord Behar]

That was one of the less destructive workarounds that I had found, and
tried.
It didn't work. I cleared the cache and data of both the Contacts app and
the Google app. And yes, they are stock Google apps.
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?
