Gday All
With nokia phones, you can set it to display the name of the cellular tower you are currently connected to (Settings -> Phone Settings -> Cell info Display).
Is there a similar function on the XDA (apart from GPS)
Also, on the old nokia phones, we would store diversion codes as contacts, so that we could divert our phones with only 1 button (ie, a contact named "Divert to Office" would have a phone number of "**21*phone number#")
On the O2, when we try the same thing, we get an error saying "Service functions must be entered directly from the keypad". Anyone know of a way to get arround it?
*21*xxxx#
annoying isn't it.
You can send atdt to the modem with a terminal script in a similar way.

Does anyone know how to get the MSISDN of a Wallaby or Himalaya device?
I think it depends on the network you are connected to. On my phone, it is on top in my main phone setting page where you can select a ringtone.
I should have said that I want to be able to get it programatically.
I have 2 devices at the moment an M1000 on Orange and an XDAII on O2 UK.
I'm starting to get close to it, but haven't got a solution yet. It's mainly this code. (Look for "Accessing SIM Information")
The trick is to change the address from 6f46 (Service Provider Name) to 6f40 (MSISDN). A list of possible addresses is available here: http://umtslink.at/cgi-bin/reframer.cgi?../GSM/simkarte_elementardateien.htm
(It's german but I think you'll get it anyway)
The problem that I still have is to access the read data correctly, so that I actually get this number.
Let me know if you found out some more. I'll keep you informed, too.
Right - I've just spent half the day trying to configure my Unlocked XDA2 for the Orange network.
Making and taking calls - fine.
Sending and receiving texts - fine.
SMS, MMS, WAP, The Internet, Pass-thru activesync etc - you ARE joking aren't you!
I've follwed various Smartphone based help posts, but alas they are little use, as the Pocket PC is a very different beast, and even knowing the settings doesn't help, if you don't know where to put them etc (the XDA is totally different for setting up compared to a Smartphone).
So PLEASE - can someone, in plain english, simple step by step settings, help me get my XDA to fully work for all things, on the Orange Network please..?
Also, is there any easy way to get rid of the O2 Custimisation, and just have a standard Pocket PC theme?
o2 stuff if you mean on the today screen can be changed under settings and today screen there you can disable stuff you dont want there
if you mean in programs then you just delete programs you dont want in uninstall or in \windows\star menu\
about orange settings then i recommend you ask orange
since they sell the xda2 under the name SPV M1000
and since no operator have all that special ways of handling all that stuff
all you need is the info of what orange use
sms is a number in the settings which need to be set
most cellphone companys i know off auto adjust this though not sure about orange
MMS, WAP, The Internet(gprs)
you setup under settings\connections\connections and add the interfaces and enter the access points orange use
Pass-thru activesync
is something you activate on the pc in activesyncs options
I rang Orange, who put me through to Fax and Data, who in turn put me through to the ever so helpful Mandy in Level 3 Support, who rang me back on my home number, and spent the next twenty minutes helping me set it up.
It helped immensely however, that I had already fiddled on and created some of the stuff needed.
So far, I have yet to figure out how to get it to use my ActiveSync pass thru however, as it insists on making a GPRS connection, when in the cradle.
I have also not got it to Sync via Bluetooth yet.
And two curious things.
Despite my numbers being in a format +44 7736 111 111 (made that up), when I go to send an SMS, and use the contacts function to locate the number, it instead inserts it into the To Field, with the preceding + dropped off, and thus it wont send.
Lastly, despite being a new XDA2, its a US ROM version, and only radio version 1.05 - handy, in that it meant I could unlock it straight away, but curious, as a European market, that I receive a USA ROM - maybe its to do with the UK shortage.
But does anyone know how I set it up for a Pass-thru, and also how, or why, it drops the prefix + symbol from sending SMS, and thus causes it to fail unless I manually insert a +
Cheers.
about the +44 thing then make sure you have chosen the right country in settings that solve such issues most of the time
about pass though then now we are talking home and internet
it got some setting where you can choose if you are connected to home as in bluetooth usb or wifi or the internet if it think it's on the inetnet it will always use the grps
As I am using the below mentioned OS version and Radio. I have a call barring for all outgoing INTERNATIONAL calls. Whenever I need to dial an int'l call. Thru the built-in selection for disabling the bar code, this options pops an error saying to check my phone settings!
But when I use the dial buttons to press the keys combination which my ISP provides #331*----# (dash are digits), this works on the spot in either cases, the on and off!
Any help
hello,
i have t-mobile mda II (under wm5 ,i think software is O2),
does anybody know standard password for this phone? i'd like to change CALL BARRING SETTINGS, i need CALL BARRING PASSWORD.
thanks.
as wm5 is not offical
i doubt it's a real o2 rom
and CALL BARRING sounds
very very much like something
put in the sim rather then on the
phone
I'm looking for any information, SDK, documentation, codes...
about E911 emergency service.
a few Windows Mobile devices (like XDAIII) have some descriptions
about features to use such a kind of service.
can I get these data programmatically?
on the client/device side?
where does this service run?
is it depend directly from the network operator?
or just from hardware/software inside the device?
is it a common "World" standard?
any help? link?
it is dipendent from hardware/software inside the device?
There was a Reg Key to set the number.Try to search in the reg closely
sorry.
I did not asked about emergency call numbers. This is well known.
I asked about some emergency service, where the network operator can recognize the location of phone automatically, becasue the phone can send some extra localion data on request. The newest hardware has some specialized chip inside to make it without GPS Rx. Look for XDAIII (exactly for PPC6600 in USA Sprint operator) details descriptions about its features.
Provider Service, not client application
I thinks so.
I've just had my number ported, but the Universal is still showing the old number under Start > Settings > Phone
Where does it get that number from and how can I change it to the correct number?
On my MDA PRO there is a sim manager app in the contacts folder, you start that and from the menu show your own numbers and edit it there. If your O2 rom doesn't have a sim manager then you 'll either have to flash with another operator's ROM which does or put your sim into another phone that can access the SIM and edit your own number. You may get away with calling O2's CS and asking them to send you a SIM update which will change to the old number for you automatically, not sure if the universal can do this though.
Your pre-port number is stored on your SIM and will always be there. Just ignore it, but the reason is this...
When you port number 1 from network A over to network B, to replace number 2, number 2 will always be your main number. Network A will always own number 1, even though they have given it to network B for you to use instead of number 2. Even if people call your number 2 (which has been of course replaced with number 1), they will still get through to you. And, when people call you on number 1, the call is routed through network A, before it goes through network B, who in turn connect it to the subscription they have on their system as number 2.
I know there's probably an easier way of explaining it, but it's very late, so sorry if the above sounds a bit daft. It is true though.
:lol: no, that makes sense, thanks
Just having a look through my old posts and came across this one. Don't know how it works in Ireland but seems to be different here. Every time I've ported, the number that was being replaced has been switched off, i.e. if you were to call it then you get the "You have dialled incorrectly please try again" or similar error. As far as I know you're not identified to the network by a phone number stored on a SIM card, but by a unique code on the SIM, when someone calls you the call gets routed by the prefix of the ported number to your old operator, who then forward it to whoever they ported it to. Your present operator when they receive the call then check the phone number against their list of numbers and connect the call to the SIM code that the number is registered to. As I said in my post you can change the phone number that is stored on your SIM card using SIM manager on the universal, as I have done on mine, and if you were to put the SIM into a different phone it would still recognise the numbr change and report your number as your ported one.
Bit of a long post but in essence saying that the pre port number doesn't need to stay on your phone, you'll still get calls to your new number.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is an easy one to fix:
Start > Programs > SIM Manager
Tools > List of Own Numbers
Change LINE 1 (which I think you'll find is your old number) to the new one you've had ported.
You should now find that the phone app reports the correct number
