Post subject: Tmobile update Non permanent voicemail and missed calls icon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something about the TmobileNL RomUpdate 1.60; I've upgraded from my french version 1.50 to this english version not bothered by the switch from the french language to the english one; It works almost flawlessly except that i lost a thing: the permanent display of missed calls and waiting voicemail message has vanished: so when someone leaves a voicemail, as the person hangs up, a bubble stating that a voicemail has been left is displayed for a very few seconds showing two buttons, one to call the voicemail, the other to erase the displayed message; After a few seconds, the message vanishes and no icon remains on the display to remind you that you have received new voicemail.
This is very annoying and very unpractical so i hope that someone has a way to tweak the Qtek in order to display back such an icon and that it stays displayed untils one has listen to the voicemail and erase the messages from the voicemail box.The same goes for the missed calls indicators.
Can someone help me out of this? is there a new romset correcting these issues? A tweak for it.
Brgds, Arnaud
Tu utilises quel réseau ?
[Peter Poelman: "Which network are you using?"]
Vanishing Icons
I use all three french networks as i have subscriptions on all three.
But it dosn't come from the rom set : after hardresetting, everything is ok and the icons are back;
By the way Murcielago, could you backup your actual french QTEK2020 or XDA2 romset and send it to me so i can at least store the french romset and maybe restore the french language version of the device?
Hi,
I don't have a french ROM because I bought my XDA II in Singapore.
All I was interested in was if you can use GPRS with SFR ?
I'm only able to connect to GPRS then nothing happens. I don't browse, I don't resolve, I cannot do anything.
If it works for you, can you contact me and tell me how you configured it please ?
Thanks
GPRS SFR
No problem encountered in using gprs wap and email access on SFR

Sorry for the late reply
ok... I'll check.
Can you contact me if possible ?
check your pm
I just installed Windows Mobile 6 Crossbow Underground on my Wizard G4 (Cingular 8125).
When receiving incoming calls, it is NOT showing any Caller ID information (name & number).
When the my phone rings, a dialgue box opens that simply shows... "INCOMING CALL"
Usually, it shows the number. And in instances when the number is in my contact list, it also show the Name.
AFTER answering the call, I can see the Caller ID info (name & number) on the phone screen.
I tried to do un update to the Radio, and NOW my phone doesn't ring at all!!! HELP!!! What files / tools do I need to update the radio on this G4 device??
WHAT could be causing this? How do I fix it so that when the my phone rings, it actually shows the Caller ID info in the dialogue box that opens?
UPDATE: I finally found a G4 Utility and was able to update the Radio to 02.61.11 ...lets see if that helps!
I have the same problem (caller info not displaying), but on Universal device...
Have you solved that problem?
Whenever I get a new voicemail, I get the notification and the little tape icon on my top bar - but I can't dismiss the notification like I can, say, a new text message. It's always there, I can hide but it's still there, taking up my left soft key - which I already have assigned for other things (in my case, WM5NewMenu).
Are there any registry changes which can be made to change the persistence of the new voicemail notification?
Also, I had to hard reset my phone once and although it's now working perfectly, the 1 key doesn't have the voicemail number bound to it (although if I receive a voicemail message, and I hit the Voicemail softkey when the notification appears, it correctly dials the voicemail number which I now have saved in my phone's address book).
Is there any way to re-bind the voicemail number to the 1 key so that I can just hold 1? I've tried reassigning the number via the Speed Dial menu, but it won't let me bind any number to 1 as it's reserving it... For voicemail! haha.
Any help is much appreciated.
I have the same problem, I can't get rid of the Voicemail tape message icon eithier, but this only started today so maybe this is something to do with Orange.
Hopefully someone here will have an answer.
I'm on T-Mobile... It does go away after you listen to the voicemail and either save/delete the message, so it's obviously a system message which is updating the phone to remove the dialog - but I'd much rather be able to specify how long the message hangs about for, I know when I get a new voicemail because it makes a noise / vibrates and the icon appears on the top bar - I don't need a message which hogs my soft key too
There's gotta be a registry setting, I had a cursory look around my registry earlier but couldn't see anything which jumped out at me.
Here's a convenient list of useful registry info.

Which Rotlaus kindly put up to help you program skins for the excellent freeware app rltoday.
From that...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread\Count
is the culprit. Then again I find the best way to get rid of the notification is to listen to the voicemail
I am running the newest version of LVSW's WM6 rom and this isn't an issue. If I hit Dismiss, it goes away but the tape icon stays in the top...yay!
I don't think some of the replies understand that the symbol remains even if you have listened to your messages, and even in my case deleted all of them.
It's really annoying as you constantly have to check voicemail because you may have a new message.
I seem to be having the same problem. I have listened to all of my messages and the tape icon still remains. This just started today and I am on Orange UK.
I use the LVSM WM6 ROM too.

Is there any patch yet available? It's been 7 days since I first informed
you of the bug. A patch (alpha or beta or stable) should be available
within two weeks of the first confirmed bug report.

Sir,
I got a chance to test on a WM6 device so I've updated my message as
follows:
"It appears that this is a known bug - it's reported on
xda-developers.com and seems to be known there. I also tested this on
our WM6 Wizard and this issue appears to be corrected in WM6, but until
there is an official WM6 ROM available for the 8525 - if there even will
be - the customer would like to know if there is a WM5 patch available
to fix it, or if one could be made that would be "official" and not
break his warranty."
Thanks,
****
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I received a response from higher up in my department asking whether it
affects only the 8525, or if it affects all WM5 devices. Here is my
reply. Please look it over before I send it to ensure I accurately
represent your views on the matter:
============
Further clarification.
I have now tested this as well with an 8125
ROM version: 2.25.11.1 WWE
ROM date: 5/11/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version: 2.25.11.102
It acts the same. Other notifications dismiss so that one can access the
previous notification, and when all notifications have been viewed the
left softkey returns to being calendar and right softkey. But when there
is a voicemail notification, it won't dismiss -- thus you can't easily
view who the caller was by viewing the missed call notification.
I suspect that this is a known bug - it's reported on xda-developers.com
and seems to be known there.
I'm trying to get a hold of our WM6 Wizard so I can test it on that,
hopefully it's been changed on WM6, but even so until it's available the
customer would like to know if there is a WM5 patch available to fix it,
or if one could be made that would be "official" and not break his
warranty.
============
Regards,
****

Here is what I've escalated to our development team:
===========
Hi ,
Here is the technical issue I mentioned yesterday which I feel should be
brought to development's attention.
WDS ticket 070320US12253344
Customer Name: *************
MSISDN: **********
CBR: **********
E-mail: diafygi
Cingular 8525
ROM version: 1.34.502.1
ROM date: 09/21/06
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
Receive call.
Either ignore it or don't answer it.
Caller leaves voicemail.
Device shows Missed Call notification.
Device shows Voicemail notification.
Press Notification (left soft key).
Shows Voicemail pop notification.
Press Dismiss (right soft key).
Press Notification again to attempt to get the Missed Call notification
to see
who called.
The Voicemail notification is still there - it won't dismiss.
In order to look up who the caller is you have to open the phone app,
and filter for missed calls which is very inconvenient.
Customer would like to know if an upgrade or patch might be developed to
fix this.
Thanks,
wdsglobal
===========
I will let you know as soon as I hear anything, or in a couple days
whichever comes first.

<<<<<<He calls me to let me know that he has confirmed the bug. He then sent my an email (above) of what he passed on.>>>>>>

I think there is a misunderstanding. You do have the same ROM as I do. You
are getting exactly what I get on my phone.
However, this is the current bug:
-I receive a call.
-Call pops up on my screen with "Answer"(<left) and "Ignore"(right>)
softkeys
-Either I miss the call completely or press "Ignore"(right>); the problem
happens both ways
-"Notification"(<left) appears while "Contacts"(right>) softkeys; and icon
appears at top of screen indicating missed call
-caller leaves a voicemail
-popup notification appears saying that I have a new voicemail; icon
appears at top of screen showing a new voicemail; "Voicemail"(<left) and
"Dismiss"(right>) softkeys appear while popup notification appears
-popup notification goes away after a short period; "Notification"(<left)
and "Contacts"(right>) appears as softkeys
-I press "Notification"(<left) softkey and popup indicating that I have a
new voicemail is displayed; "Voicemail"(<left) and "Dismiss"(right>)
softkeys are displayed
-I press "Dismiss"(right>), mainly because I want to see who left the
voicemail: I want to see the missed call notification
-popup disappears; icon indicating new voicemail at top of screen remains;
"Notification"(<left) and "Contacts"(right>) softkeys return
-I press "Notification"(<left) and the Voicemail notification appears
again!
No matter how many times I "Dismiss"(right>) the voicemail notification,
it does not dismiss. The only way I can get rid of the voicemail
notification is to press the "Voicemail"(<left) softkey during the popup
or call my voicemail and actually listen to the voicemail. So, I cannot
see the missed call notification until I actually listen to the voicemail.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Sir,
I finished the ROM update on my 8525
The Device Information for it is as follows:
ROM version: 1.34.502.1
ROM date: 09/21/06
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
Please compare that to your Device Information to ensure they are exactly the same.
To test it, I followed the following steps:
1. Called the device.
2. Allowed the call to go to voicemail.
3. Waited for the voicemail notification pop up on the bottom of the screen, at which point the softkeys say "Voicemail" (left key) <--> "Dismiss" (right key).
4. Allowed it to hide itself, at which point the soft keys indicate "Notification" <--> "Contacts".
As I understand it, when you follow the same procedure, in step 4 the right soft key remains on "Dismiss" and won't change to "Contacts", correct?
I'm afraid I'm not able to duplicate that. I've also tried pressing Dismiss while the notification pop up was still showing.
Are you doing any other steps that I am missing?
If not, I suggest our next step would be to fully sync your device so no data is lost, hard reset the device, then without installing any third-party software attempt to duplicate the issue on your device again.
Since it apparently doesn't affect all devices we could ask Cingular to replace the device under warranty.
I also did search xda-developers fairly extensively but haven't found anyone who appears to be reporting that exact problem, though I've found other similar notification-type issues such as this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298280
Do you know of any other threads that report the same issue?
If you would like me to call you back, please email me a time that you will be available between 9am and 6pm Pacific Time and I will be happy to do so.
Thanks,
****
HTC Support
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my email thread with a support guy at Cingular (apparently outsourced). I've called 4 times in the past about this exact bug, but this time I actually got someone who is willing to help. It's not done yet, but look for me to stay on their asses about it. I'm not technology oriented, so I would like to get an official fix from Cingular/HTC. The bug apparently is also on the 8125 (Wizard) as well as the 8525 (Hermes), so I guess it's a WM5 issue. But, I guess that's Cingular's problem.
The easeiest way to solve this for me, was just calling my own phone, leave a 1 second message, check the voicemail, then delete it and the tape goes away. Annoying and should be unnecssary but i can't stand the icon there
I believe that's a different bug. This bug is when you actually receive a voicemail. When I listen to the voicemail, the notification goes away. My icon (knock on wood) doesn't stay like other people's have.
issue NOT resolved
I just got a call from the HTC support team for cingular. They said that there is NOT going to be a patch or bug fix for this issue. It IS a known issue, and the next version of the ROM does fix the problem. However, the next ROM official release date is not finalized and will contain Windows Mobile 6 (WM6). They said it should be in the next few months. This ROM has already been cooked in the wiki. If you want you can use those for the immediate fix. However, being not technology-oriented, I'm going to wait for the official release and official support (but I guess that hasn't really helped).
WM6 ROMs:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Cooked_ROMs
This would have been sooo much easier if it were open source. The bug would have been fixed yesterday. But now, we have to wait for a HUGE upgrade with (I bet) its fair share of bugs and bloat. I am bumping the Hermes Linux project.
It's a WM5 issue, for sure. My wife has Treo 750 (WM5) with exactly same issue: VM notify stays on even if all VM listerened to and deleted.
Needs a reg-tweak I guess.
Annoying issue, yet simple solution:
Use regedit (a little search over the forum will help you download it if you don't have it)
Then go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> System -> State -> Messages -> vmail
At this point select wich line is the one that has voicemail (1,2,etc), go to "unread" and
on count value, edit decimal value to "0"
Do the same on "total" folder.
That will erase the recording tape from your PDA.
Hi,
not sure about the tape symbol, mine goes when I delete/save a message...
However I can solve the number 1 key problem...all you need to do is dial 222 and listen to what it says (it'll send you a text which you delete and then soft reset) and it should assign your voicemail number to you #1 key.

issue NOT resolved after upgrade WM6
Hi,
I upgraded my TyTN with WM6 (from HTC site). Before, when I was abroad, I did never receive a SMS message from Vodafone indicating a voicemail was delivered. After installing WM6 this is fixed and I do receive the text message, not only in The Netherlands but also abroad.
However, the tape symbol appeared after the very first received voicemail and I can't get rid of it anymore. So, WM6 did NOT fix the problem......
Flight
Yep
i am on Satin and I get the tape too. It only goes away when I listen and delete the message. Every time I turn the device on (back from sleep), i see a message warning me aboute de voicemail. If it had not this message, I guess i would not mind. Just the tape would not botter me. But the frequent warnings i cant stand. Dont know about the soft key, will pay attention to that next time
I don't know how difficult it would be to build this as I'm not a programmer but would it be possible to create a cab file that would fix this WM6.1 feature (in my opinion BUG) where the Call Log is automatically set to Missed Calls?
It's really annoying. Even afer selecting All Calls the next time I access my call log it's back to Missed Calls again.
I did a search on here and on the net and didnt find anything like this.
This would be really appreciated!!!!
THANX!!!!
I don't have this issue, what ROM are you using?
The official HTC provided 6.1 upgrade for Tytn II
Am I the only one experiencing this annoying feature?.... Or I'm probably the only one using the official HTC Tytn II ROM !!!
Sigh.....
How are you opening the call log?

Did you ever get a resolve for this. I have this problem as well with my HTC Touch P3450, running 6.0. however standard it works, only after installing spb mobile shell does mine default to missed only not all in the filter
i'm using ATT official 6.1...same problem
I even made sure that in the registry it was set to all calls...same problem!

That's probably the reason then. The shortcut on HTC Home points directly to missed calls because it's where the missed call counter is displayed. Try opening the log from the dialer, it should work there. Hopefully it does, then you can load the Call History .exe file floating around here and make a shortcut to that.

Well apparently Call History from the dialer does show me all calls, but this must be a 6.1 bug because in WM6 I could access all calls from the today screen.
Sigh!!!
Hey! I am having the same problem and couldnt find a solution in the Elf section... I just upgraded to 6.1 with a htc touch from sprint, and while before the "missed calls" tab on the today screen would display all calls - missed, in, and out, by default, now it only shows missed calls. You can access your call history via the call screen, but thats an extra step that wasnt there before... any solution to getting that "call log" button on the today screen to show a complete call history instead of only missed calls?
