You can check the Call Duration Settings. If it is brand new, all the numbers should be ZERO.
You can check it by going to Start>Settings>System>Device Information>Call Duration. The INCOMING and OUTGOING call timers should ALL be ZERO.
Thanks cktlcmd for the quick reply, I hope the seller didn't read pof's post:
1) put device in bootloader mode
2) disable activesync usb connections
3) connect to bootloader using mtty.exe
4) when you see "USB>" prompt type this (DO NOT COPY-PASTE):
Code:
USB> rtask b
0 <--- wait until you see a "0" here
ate1 <--- enable local echo
atv1 <--- verbose output for return values
[email protected]?1 <--- get outgoing call time
[email protected]?0 <--- get incoming call time
[email protected]=<value1>,<value2> <--- set incoming and outgoing call
value1 and value2 should be HEX values. Setting very high value (>9999) resets the counter to 0, I cant tell you which one now cos I am at work and don't have my hermes here to test, but try it, it is easy to find
we have only check from call durations or we can di bit more?

YES, that is true, there is a way to set it back to zero. But, not too many people know about that.
I guess you should ask for a copy of the ORIGINAL receipt. That was what I did when I bought mine. Then call the company where he bought it from and check if it is brand NEW out of the box. Take note of the DATE. Check and ask about discrepancies. Check the product for signs of use, such as cosmetic defects.
Thanks, but that the other problem, you know the Exec didn't sold in my country, the only way i can buy is buy from importir. (Not from o2 dealers). And i'm affraid i can't know where they bougth it from, I wonder if there is a way to know from the product it self. May be here the condition I have:
1. This store sell their product cheaper about $ 200, they said it's brand new, but it don't have seal and the exec already turn on. (They said they have to check when the product came) but they have service waranty for 1 year. (This store located not in my city so just a phone negotiations)
2. Other store said if in store 1 price it must have a refurbish product. They sell it more expensive, but they make sure it brand new, but they just have waranty for 3 days.
Now I get confused, If you were me, which one you chose?
Thanks for your help.

I can't seem to figure out if there's a way to extend the number of rings. With the current ring tone I'm using, it rings 3 times, which is simply not long enough. Anybody knows? Or is this a service provider side issue?
Thanks.
This is a generic GSM feature which can be configured by dialing the following sequence:
Delay nn seconds: max 30 seconds, in 5 second increments
Set: **61*destination*nn#[SEND]
Cancel: ##61#[SEND]
Query: *#61#[SEND]
note:
[SEND] is the green 'Talk' key
destination is the number you want your call forwarded to if not picked up in the indicated number of seconds
You may omit the '*nn', this only changes the destination of the forwarding

Thanks, edsub, but it gives me an 'Invalid Parameters' error message when hitting the Talk button. I've entered **61*+336XXXXXX*30#. Could it be that it doesn't accept the '+' symbol? That's, however, the number currently used for my voice mail box.
mmm, I tried this on my Nokia and received 'Unknown Application'.
Retried it with 20 and 25, this worked
The '30' appears just to be too much. Wich means the FAQ I got it from apparantly needs an update.
With 25 seconds it says 'Command not supported'. Nevermind, I'll just have to react faster when the phone rings.
Same here.
Since these are generic GSM codes and it does work with my Nokia, I guess the WM2003 Phone app simply is not capable of handling this.
Maybe try to use another phone to set these values, as they are stored on the network.
The "destination" number is network dependent:
For Orange NL the code is:
*61*+31628500560*11*30#
Where 30 is the timer in seconds, 10, 20 and 30 are valid.
The + is accomplished by holding the 0 'zero'.
Standard your Orange NL timer is set to 20.

That worked for Orange F as well, thanks. Well, at least the command was confirmed by the network. Yet, it still only rings 3 times = approx. 15 seconds. And the query still tells me 20 seconds. Strange. Could be post-update Radio problem, I suppose.
Does this mean that I can forward to my Home phone answering machine, and avoid the cost of calling O2 Voicemail? Or will I be charged the equivalent of the mobile->home call?
Go to phone (green button) then Tools >Options.
Tab "Services", select Call Forwarding and replace the number with the number of your home device.
Just realised that I'd rather have the SMS for voicemail, but might be worth doing at some point.
As an aside, I can't set the timeout to 30s on O2 anyway - I'm sure O2 are conspiring to make you miss calls as their voicemail is a revenue stream.
I have had the same issue. For KPN the following setting works:
**61*333xxxxxxxxxx*11*yy#
xxxx = your mobile number
yy = number of : 5, 10, 15, 20 (default) but 30 seems to work to
for some nokia phones you have to do the following:
**61*333xxxxxxxxxx**11*yy#
How about the low-tech method of looping the original wav file using a sound editor such as Sound Forge or CakeWalk? A three-ring file would become six, nine, etc. rings. This way you're just making the wav file bigger and you don't have to experiment with arcane GSM phone codes.
I have a Tmobile MDA on the tmo service. I have a problem trying to send text messages. I can recieve them, but I can't send them. It tells me that the text message cannot be sent.
I need some help.
Thanks.

Do your numbers have a country code in front of them? I found that while trying to send a text message yesturday (me being in the UK and our country code being 44) the number I was sending to was 447....etc.. and it would fail. I changed the 44 to a 0 and it worked just fine !
I am here in the USA so I do not have to put country codes. I think that I have everything setup right. It is very frustrating.

That's what happens to me when I don't pay my phone bill, so pretty much every month
Hi,
I've experienced the same problem before with my provider. These are the things that they asked me to do;
Step by step.
1) Put the SIM card into another phone and see whether that phone can send or receive SMS. If OK then step 2. If not, contact your provider and ask for SIM replacement.
2) Turn Off your WIZARD by pressing the power button for more than 5 seconds until a dialog-window appears asking whether you want to switch OFF the Wizard or not. Press "YES" and your Wizard will be OFF and let it be for a minute. Goto Step3
3) Remember to insert the SIM card into your WIzard and then Switch it ON. Try send sms to your own number. If OK then try to your friend's number. If OK then you're done. Problem solved. If cannot send to yourself and other number, goto Step 4.
4) Check your SMS centre number, make sure the number start with "+".
How to get the numbers? Contact yout service provider and ask them about the SMS centre number. goto step5
5) re-enter the sms centre number and try send sms. If OK then problem solved and if not OK, goto step 6.
6) Call your service provider and ask them to reset your service config and activate it again. Turn OFF your Wizard after 15 minutes from the reset and let it be for 1 minute and turn it back ON again. Try send sms, if OK then problem solved. This is the last step taken by me to revive my sms problem and it works.
Give it a try and good luck

Hello,
I bought a new HTC advantage x7501 unlocked, trying to use it on Fido network, however whenever I call the unit, the unit does not being to ring until at least the second ring, usually the third and often I miss a phone call completely. The signal strength is at its maximum when tried this. I did do a hard reset, searched google and all nada. Can someone please help ?
Thanks
Just tonight I was running call tests on my unit, and I see the same 2-ring delay. Doesn't matter if its asleep or fully on. I still have plenty of time to answer before voicemail kicks in. That delay is dictated by your carrier.
What sim card are you running? Do you know? Is there any way the check if you have the 64k or the 128k? I found some threads not related specifically to the X7501 but to the HTC hermes, that if you have the 64k sim card and an HTC hermes you might get some communication troubles, but that thread was pretty old and I'm sure HTC fixed that issue already.
Anyhow, hard reset doesn't solve this problem, and I do not even know how to begin addressing this issue.
Try some or all of the following:
Make sure your ringtone is in the Windows folder, or the ringtones folder.
Try a .wav ringtone (yes, i prefer mp3 too - wavs are too big)
Tweaks2k2.net has a disable 3 second delay option - there is probably a registry key somewhere.

which radio version are u using sometimes it is releated to the radio version and upgrading or downgrading to another rdio helps the problem. missing calls are mostly releated to radio version of devices.
I have not flashed this unit at all, and the default ringtone is there and yes I tried changing it too.
I'm begging to suspect that this might be a sim card issue. I'm using SM-32 from fido, is there one that is sm-64 or 128? google search did not reveal much..
Thanks
hi,
i use phonealarm software with my athena, and i have the next issue:
if i active phonealarm, the phone sounds after the second or third ring,
but if i deactive phonealarm, the phone sounds just after the first rings.
use you PA soft?
note: i have tested and obtained the same results storing the rings at the
storage card, microdrive or programs memory. the problem is PA !!
next probe:: enable PA but set to "System" the "ring" and "ring type" parameters
at the all profiles. the result is fine: plays the configured sounds after the
first ring [i use mp3]
S.O.S
Is PhoneAlarm software enabled by default? I can not seem to be able to locate this anywhere on the phone?
Plus I got a little bit further with Fido, I have disabled my voicemail and now the phone rings after the second ring. Does this make any sense to anyone ?
S.O.S
SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, READ:
Simple, the "Radio" code that comes with the x7501 / x7500 unlocked can NOT handle the the "Name Display" feature properly, thus causing the phone to miss class and or ring later. In EU they do NOT have "Name Display", wow. Thats the problem. I wish to that I found the answer sooner, I thought that is the purpose of such boards like these, no? Am I that wrong?

Just need to call your carrier and have them increase the ring count before voicemail picks up. Tonight at dinner my mother complained about this on her phone - it would go to vm after 3 rings. She called cust service and upped it to 6 rings. Problem solved.

The IMEI number shown on device does not match the IMEI sent to the GSM network?!
I have to register my HD2 with the local authorities in order to be able to use it in Turkey.
While in the process of doing so, I came across something peculiar:
The IMEI number I get with *#06# (which, also is the number written on the unit's box) differs from the IMEI sent to the GSM network by one digit.
IMEI on device and box: 35XX XXXX XXXX 051
IMEI as seen by the gsm operator: 35XX XXXX XXXX 050
Apart from being unable to decide which IMEI to register --I think I'll go with the one "visible" to gsm operators-- This could be a serious bug.
Has anyone else experienced similar behaviour?
Regards,
Gwelwhir
Edit: ROM: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE -- I'll revert to the original NLD ROM and see if the issue is the same.
To try a different approach, I set up a BlueTooth partnership, and connected with PuTTY / Serial over BT to that port.
AT commands all returned "OK", but no information.
including AT+CGSN. The IMEI was not displayed.

try:
[email protected]?
(with the question mark)
but I think this isn't very interesting. you probably meant the IMEI on the box is 2 chars shorter than the one displayed by software (usually a "01" is the extra 2 digits). that's perfectly normal

Thanks Cmonex, I will try "[email protected]?" as soon as I can.
Other than that, I did not mean the IMEI on the box is 2 chars shorter, I am already aware of that. To clarify:
IMEI @ box: 35XX XXXX XXXX 051
IMEI @ dev: 35XX XXXX XXXX 05101 (+2 digits np here)
IMEI @ gsm: 35XX XXXX XXXX 050
I'll post as soon as I test the "[email protected]?".
The situation is resolved:
As far as the GSM CDR is concerned, even if they receive the IMEI "wrong", they process only the first 14 digits of the IMEI; the 15th digit (and the 2 more after that where applicable) being inconsequential.
(So, I was able to register my device.)
As for the "[email protected]?" query, it does display the IMEI, thanks.

Can someone please dial ##DATA+call and please sell me the default PST values for the VERIZON Trophy (if you have another carrier, it will not help me!). If you do not know what values to leave out, you shouldn't be the one making this post (meaning, do not post your own ESN, MEID information, its for your security!)
I need these values because I ran HTC Connection Setup (the newest offical one off the market), and now my phone refuses to get a data connection even after a factory reset. I believe the program changed some settings that are not programmed during *228 option 1 activation. Phone works fine as a phone and with SMS.
I get the feeling that my data key got nuked, and that I will have to upload a public data key to the phone in diagnostic mode (I do not know the code for DIAG mode). I just want to make sure the other values are okay before going that far.
I would rather do this myself to fix it rather then send the phone back to HTC.. but if that's what I must do.. then I will do it!
Any other codes anyone has would be appreciated. I haven't found a definitive list of codes for the HTC Trophy (any model), and wouldn't mind making another thread with all of those codes.
