Hi... I have a IMEI question.

However on my phone, I have a 17 digit number? are these 2 extra end digits there for any reason.?

How to extend number of rings of incoming calls?

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.

$50 reward! - IMEI Problem

Hello,
I brought my HTC TyTN from expansys and I'm currently on holiday in Turkey, I had to get my IMEI number registered on the countrys database with my passport for it to be usable but when the lady entered the IMEI, it had two extra characters at the end and the system didn't accept those so she removed them and registered that IMEI, she registered the same as the IMEI on the back of my battery, but when I do *#06# in WM, it shows the same IMEI with 04 at the end, now I upgraded my radio and the 04 at the end has changed to a 06. So in 15 days, my phone will be unusable in Turkey because it has a 04/06 at the end of the real IMEI and this isn't registered.
I'm paying 50$ via PayPal to the person who can solve this issue for me with either a tutorial or other ways.
Regards,
Ekin
i am not shur ... the last 2 digi are versions numbers ... ignore them!
See here for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMEI
Woot! Now that's a Wiki worth 50 smackers... although NetrunnerAT nailed it.
But I'm looking to remove the last 2 characters, is that not possible or are you saying the phone is allready reporting the right IMEI, the one with out the last 2 characters to my operator?
Why would you like to remove the last 2 digits?
Even your Telco knows the last part is a versionnumber.
I had to register with the phone's serialnumber (starts with an H).
http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr Here you can check your IMEI.
Because Turkey is dumb, I got my IMEI registered and they registered it without the last 2 numbers because their stupid system has a character number limit.
Forget about the last two numbers. The IMEA doesn't change, what you see printed under your battery is the authoritive IMEA. The numbers you are finding on your screen following the IMEA are something else, version numbers as someone else said.
Feel free to send me $50 at any time.

IMEI sent incorrectly to network

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.

Fun thing, has anyone been able to register their tab at the samsung site?

Select type, mobile. Ok, that works.
Select sub type, Galaxy Tab. Right, done.
Ok, next 2 boxes don't appear as there's no submodels to the Tab.
Fill in rest of the data, hit submit and...
Must fill in those fields that if I select Galaxy Tab, don't have anything in.
Np, will pretend it's a phone to get the serial number in, and...
No go. It knows the Imei is for a Tab.
Bit of a blunder releasing the device and you can't register. No problem, I'll just submit a... oh. I need to be registered... doh!
Yes, I've been trying to register for the last 2 days, its bothering me. What about a phone call?
Ditto, I'm mainly stuck at the serial number part. There is no serial number anywhere on this unit. I tried entering the MEID but that wouldn't take.
Also they don't have my specific model number all mine has on the unit and the box is SCHI800BKV but the site has two versions with an A and an L in the model number.
I was able to register 2 days ago. I was having the same issues before.
I think for the sub category, pick GTab again instead of TMobile Gtab, etc.
After that I was able to pick the other drop downs.
Having the same issue the Samsung customer service employee told me I needed to wait 2 days for what IDK
What you need to do is select 'Cell phone' istead of galaxy tab, and then enter the IMEI number in the serial number box. May take a bit of fighting with it, but it worked for me.
Nope, i think it's only taking IMEIs (GSM equipment), not ESNs (CDMA Equipment)...
I found the serial number in the "about phone" section - status. It lists the IMEI and the serial number. Had to trouble registering my Tab without the serial number at first.

Your equipment is GSM, i believe. CDMA equipment doesnt show a s/n under settings ~~> about phone ~~> status. Our equipment only show ESN #s in Dec and Hex.

This is ridiculous!
How do you have a registration page that only caters to one type of device? Not only that...when you try to register over the phone, no one can help you either!!!
So Not Kewl!
Do everything as you are supposed to on the page, selecting "Galaxy Tab." Then put in the Hex version of the IMEI starting after the first two characters, "0x" in my case. For example, your Hex IMEI code will look something like:
0xA1234567899ASA
but only put in:
A1234567899ASA
and it will fill in the greyed out boxes for you.

i assume you mean "put in the HEX version of the ESN," not of the IMEI.
Anyway, still doesn't register for me
I can't register my at&t tab! It says invalid imei, serial number. Little help please!
Sent from my Galaxy Tab using XDA App
Managed to get registered last night in the end, silly faffy todo. Perhaps this should be done automatically when you buy it at the store

Yes, MEID accessed through settings->about device->status->MEID.
My model is a verizon. Not sure if that would make any difference.
Using the HEX worked for me.
Sprint.
Has anyone with an AT&T Tab been able to register? This is highly frustrating!!
No luck wit at&t tab. Can't get my $50.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab using XDA App
I called a half hour ago and they said "We are still updating our data base with serial numbers and imei numbers." Please try again in 24 hours. I said ok but its been 24 hours since I originally tried. Then he said try again in another 48 hours. i said wait you just told me to wait 24. and then he said yes 24 hours.
they don't know what's going on.

Which brand Tablet do you have?
I don't get a serial or IMEI error, I get an error about the sub-category fields not being populated.
It's like the form isn't checking my AT&T IMEI number.

[Q] Motorola Flipout Unlock query

Hey all,
I have a Motorola Flipout that i've taken to a shop to be unlocked from Orange UK, but they are having an issue as the phone won't take the code.
They are telling me that the unlock code should be 16 digits as appose to 8 digits for other phones, there for they can't get the code at the moment.
Is this correct, or completely wrong, i'm confused cos i've always known it to be 8 digits.
hi
if you need 16 digit unlock code then email me at [email protected]
thanks
I just chose the cheapest one on ebay (£8.90 I think). I got an email from them within an hour, sent back my IMEI number and they sent the code that worked straight away. I think it was 16 digits
