I just received my new I-Mate K-Jam (soon to be the SPV M600 I believe) and was dissapointed to find that it does not support Orange Line 2. I spoke to Orange who informed me that it is not the only device with this issue as the SPV M5000 (Universal) also does not support Line 2.
I have been using SmartPhone devices until now and I can confirm that line 2 works great with these.
I am not familiar with the any previous phone edition Pocket PC versions , so perhaps you could let me know if this has this always been an issue, and if so, if it is due to be resolved in the near future.
FYI: when a call comes through on line 2, the number (and name if in the contacts database) is displayed on the screen as with any other call, but with an incoming line 2 call no ringing or vibration is apparent. If the caller leaves a message, then the right hand side of the spool fills to tell you that you have a message on line 2 as per usual; however, you are unable to access the message as you cannot change from line 1 to line 2 and cannot therefore make any calls on line 2.
Please help!!

I am just about to upgrade to an M3100 but currently have and use Orange Line 2. There does not appear to be a clear answer from Orange if the M3100 can support Line 2 presently or in the future? I know there have been some work arounds for some other models but does anyone actually have line 2 working?
Thanks in advance.
Line 2 is an orange feature So I presume it would, but Orange themselves should be able to answer that question.
Give em a bell and let us know what they say.
Not at the moment, I'm afraid... HTC say the device supports it, but no-one has managed to get it working. There's a reward been posted on Modaco for anyone coming up with a working solution:

my mate has just terminated his line 2 because of this phone!
he said the m3100 would default to his line 2 only, unlike all other orange htc which default to line 1. so it was a case of ditch the line 2 or ditch the m3100. he chose to keep the m3100
Has a fix been released so that the phone works with Line 1 and Line 2 properly?
At the moment all calls go via line 2 with no visible way to switch & calls can only be made to the line 1 number.
I think it is possible to get Line 2 to work. I received my M3100 last week and when I inserted my original 2G sim a few things happened;
1. All calls could only go from my Line 2.
2. Calls could only be made to Line 1
3. If Line 2 was called this would give an obtainable tone and the reception on the M3100 would totally disappear for 5 second.
Although not ideal this was the way I needed it to work. After speaking to Orange C.S I was given the normal spiel about the phone only supporting Line 1. When I asked them why my calls went from Line 2 they had no idea.
After registering my 3G sim, this all changed and all calls then went from Line 1. I called back and said I needed it work the way previously, the only thing they could do was to reinitialize my 2G sim. After doing this calls went from Line 2 again.
The next day after trying to find out if anything could be done to get a full fix the person I spoke to contacted Technical services. After coming back to me I was informed again that nothing could be done, BUT strangely enough, immediately after that conversation my 2G sim started making calls only from Line 1.
I know that it is nothing I have done on the phone as my colleague has exactly the same tariff on Line1/2 and his sim will still make calls from Line 2 when put in my phone.
I need to get Line 2 working again as I make all my calls via that.
hi, my provider (orange uk ) supports line 2 ,does anyone know of a way that I can get my device to work with line 2 please?
thanks
no, there is no way to use line 2 on the pocket PC phones, only on the smartphones m600 etc.

You're using a dual SIM adaptor. The poster is asking whether the service provided by some operators; whereby you can have two distinct numbers on ONE SIM, will work. The answer appears to be 'no' on PPC devices.
Excuse me if i misunderstood... you mean that there can be no call waiting/ call on hold on PPC phones?

Not that I know of. Anyone else?
Call waiting has nothing to do with 2nd line. Call waiting is an operator service thatt allows you to keep a call on hold/wait while you talk with someone else. IT WORKS on Trinity if your operator has it.
2nd line means that with one SIM you can be reached on two different phone numbers without having two phones and without restarting your phone to switch sims. You can make/receive calls on any of the 2 numbers.
Ok, sorry for the confusion
I know this post is a bit old but the answer is certainly no to having Line 2 on the SPV "M" series (or eqivalent - operator model) seems only the "s", "c" or the newer "e" series of orange branded SPV that support that function.
The phone I have is a T-mobile MDA Compact that has been network unlocked.
The problem is that it is unable to make or receive normal calls. The symptoms vary across networks, with vodafone being the most functional. The symptoms are as follows.
----
Tesco Mobile SIM: - no service.
----
T-Mobile SIM: Connects to network and shows a signal, but no call functions work.
----
vodafone SIM (ASDA): Connects to network, shows a signal, can send and receive text messages, can make 999 calls.
Can't make or receive normal calls:
When trying to dial out the display goes from "dialing" to "call ended" and three quiet beeps can be heard, the dialed phone never rings.
If called from BT landline the caller simply hears "Error" and callers from other mobile phones hear a variety of different tones (engaged, beeps etc)
If the phone is switched off, the callers get the usual "the phone you are calling is not available" message.
------
The phone has a CheckMend certificate to show that it is not lost or stolen, and T-Mobile have confirmed that the IMEI is not barred on their network.
-----
While attempting to fix this:
I have reflashed the phone with several ROMs and updated the radio from 1.12 to 1.13, but the original problem remains unchanged.
I Have E-mailed HTC technical support with a description of the problem but as yet have had no reply.
If any one is able to shed any light on this I would be very grateful.
similar problem, but i can send or receive SMS, but when i try to call or answer after cca 10sec it cut the line and show a sign of searching for signal...
flashed new ROM, same problem, chanhge automatic to manual, same...
is it a software or hardware problem, i can try to open and clean a dust (in one service said that could be a problem) which cause a bad contact with internal antenna
hi, did you get this problem sorted? i have the same thing with my spv m700, cant believe its hardware though as all other functions ar great
thanks
Hi there
I am sitting here with lots of pulled-out hair lying around me on the floor. I have a problem with voicemail on my Orange SPV M700 which is wearing me down to a pitiful heap and if one of you clever people can help I will be grateful for even longer than eternity (and that's a very long time!).
I have an Orange SPV M700 which refuses to notify me when someone has left a voicemail. I think it's probably been like it ever since I started using an Orange 3G PAYG sim (I think it's called a USim).
Firstly, I have seen odd postings by others who have problems with voicemail on their SPV M700s, but they are normally people who have upgraded to WM6. I have not touched the operating system on my SPV M700 so am still running Windows Mobile ver 5.
By doing some tests/process of elimination, I have established the following:
1) Orange 3G PAYG SIM card does NOT give Voicemail notification when used in my Orange SPV M-700, but if I put the same Orange 3G PAYG SIM card into another phone (a old Samsung E700) the voicemail notification DOES work of the Samsung! Therefore I concluded that the problem isn't with the Orange SIM card or even, I presume, the Orange network.
2) An old Orange PAYG SIM card that I used to use DOES give Voicemail notification when in Orange SPV M700. Therefore I concluded that the Orange SPV M700 IS actually capable of giving out voicemail notifications. Please note that I notice that when the old Orange SIM card is in the SPV M700 the small square icon on the today screen top-bar is showing an "E" as the type of connection (I presume that's what it means?). When the problematic Orange 3G PAYG SIM card is in the SPV M700 the small square icon normally is showing a "3G"
This has led me to conclude that it's something to do with the SPV M700 not being happy with the Orange 3G PAYG SIM - or at least there's some setting that is wrong etc. However I have tried most things and still it refuses to notify me of awaiting voicemails.
Here is a list of my configuration settings on my SPV M700. If anyone can spot something that is wrong which may be the reason why I don't get voicemail notifications I'd be so grateful to know what is wrong as I can't keep phoning my voicemail all the time, just to see if anyone has left a message, as it's costing a lot of money to do that. By the way - I don't have any problems being notified that a new text message has been sent, that seems to work fine.

Basically I have everything set to notify me and also Display message on Screen.I am hoping someone can help - letting me know if I have something set up incorrectly or whether I need a fix for the phone etc. I would rather not upgrade to WM6 as I feel that I might end up with more problems. I am quite happy with WM5 - it's just the voicemail problem...
Thanks for taking the time to read this posting - I am sure I can't be the only Orange SPV M700 owner who has had this problem?
Cheers for now
Man in need of Assistance...
Theres a cab file floating around somewhere called smsfix (if memory serves me right). This used to cure the voicemail problem with orange sims, hope this helps.
Sorry, its called sms providers fix.
Have alook at this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1212958&postcount=20
The "sms providers fix" will fix the problem as i've been using it for over a year with no issue's.
Hi - firstly many thanks for taking the time to post a reply to my problem. I will check out the "sms providers fix". I have seen a couple of refernences to it when I originally searched however it only ever seemed to be for people who had upgraded their ROMs to WM6. I have never done that and am still running the original Orange WM5 so assumed that the correct dll's etc were still on my WM5 phone.
I will download the files and see what happens.
...just noticed that user "Forza" mentions to make sure that the sdk certificates are installed first before installing the "sms providers fix" - do you reckon that would apply to me when I am still using the original Orange WM5 ROM?
Thanks again!
Bit miffed that although the SPV M700 looks & feels nice - buggy MiniSD card handling & other weird stuff means that I have got to get involved with all this Hard SPL-ing, ROM Upgrading & Radio stuff - confusing to a novice like me... time will tell if it's all been a big mistake!

just seen that in your sig.....
trust me mate, its worth every minute flashing your rom, especially up to 6.1....much better than WM5
i was in the same boat as you, SPV M700 straight out of the box locked to orange etc...now im on custom roms, unlocked to any network, and on 6.1......best thing i ever did.
Hi Gizmolisa
Thanks for your reply. I guess I kinda know that you are right about upgrading to WM6. It's something I have fancied doing ever since getting the SPV M700 - my main problem is the concerns I have if I screw it up. I use the SPV M700 so much (not actually much as a phone - more for its PDA features) and if I botched up the upgrade I'd be really lost without it.
Having said that... maybe I should pluck up the courage and have a go. It just seems that there's quite a lot of things you have to get just right and because it's the Orange version of the Trinity i gather that once I start there's no going back to the original setup if things go wrong.
Wish I was braver!!!!
Cheers - still thinking about taking the plunge!!!!
