I recently acquired an unlocked O2 Atom Life and promptly upgraded to WM6. Everything is working pretty well, except that I don't get voicemail notifications when I have voicemail waiting for me. I am with T-Mobile USA. I live in So Cal., so technically I am using Cingular's network (that's what it says on my screen at least) but T-Mobile is my official provider.
I used to have an I-Mate Jam with WM2003 SE and was getting the voicemail icon promptly after someone had left me a message.
I put in a request with O2 regarding this problem, but I got no answer so far.
Can anyone help me with this?
Well, I have done a little experiment. I have called the T-Mobile USA voicemail center (not my phone) and left myself a message. As soon as I hang up, my Atom Life (which is on but with the screen off) wakes up (the screen lights up) but I get no voicemail notification icon.
This clearly indicate that I get a signal from the network. However, this signal isn't being interpreted by the OS.
Has anyone had this problem before? Is there a hack or registry entry or something I could do?
O2 support is of no help. They basically told me: "sorry we don't support the Atom Life in the US".
Please help!
Hello,
I too live in the US and I have an XDA Atom Life and I don't receive voicemail notifications either. My experience with O2 Support has been like yours regarding this mattter. Just curious, did you ever get this resolved?
I used to have an XDA Atom Exec and I never encounterd this problem with that device.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Cheers.

My sister and I are on a family plan with T-Mobile. She is using Dopod 818 Pro, and I am O2 Atom Life. She has the little tape icon each time there is a voicemail waiting for me, but I face the same problem with as everyone above! I called T-mobile, and they claimed it could be phone-specific problem. I kinda agree. So, I get around the problem by going to my voicemail, and set it to page me when there is a voicemail. Nowadays, I will get a short call from my own no., so I know I got a voicemail. I prefer the little tape icon or text message, but what I have is better than not knowing at all.
Does anyone have anything on this yet?
Am also using the paging notification since I don't get that icon on my Atom Life.

Hey people, I also need help. Plese help me if anyone had solved this problem...
My work-around
I spoke at length with a real sharp techie at T-Mobile about this a year ago and after some discussion he realized that there were simply no registry hacks or other answers to this issue (he even took the issue to the T-Mobile support group engineers and called me back 24 hours later saying they couldn't figure it out, either). But he recommended a free voicemail service which has resolved - for all practical purposes - my issue.
The problem: I get a voicemail, but I see no "tape" indicator telling me so.
The REAL problem: I have no idea if there are VMs waiting for me at any given time without calling in.
The solution: YouMail! Highly configurable, much more options than T-Mobile's voicemail, FREE, and it'll send you text messages when you get a voicemail.
So I still don't get the tape indicator, but I do get a text message that pops up - and I get the text message indicator telling me a text is waiting. I added increased text capacity to my plan for about $5/month, and I'm golden. Highly recommend this approach.
PS - I don't work for - or have any vested interest in - YouMail. Just a happy customer.
i do not like the service of T-mobile at all. me and my family always prefer verizon. T-mobile always messes situations for you.
Solution for removing Voicemail notification
Hello everybody, I am a new guy to this forum and gotta say that it's very useful... Tons of useful information.
Here is the deal about voicemail notifications:
use your favorite registry editor for WM and navigate to
"HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread"
There should be a value name "Count" (not ****) with some REG_DWORD value
Change value to 0 (decimal)
Do the same to the registry key
"HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line2\Unread"
and
"HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread"
It should remove Voicemail notification icon from the startbar.
In case you don't have registry editor, here is the one:

Enjoy!
Hello, I have a Hermes (jasjam bought outright, australian model, on the Three network) running HTC's stock Windows Mobile 6. Occasionally I have a problem with messaging (receiving and sending) that I don't think is carrier related.
I used the dymond/black version of WM6 but the messaging application would freeze frequently, ie I would press the messaging hard button or the button on the Today screen and it wouldn't load the application. With the HTC WM6, it appears to be just not detecting the messaging centre.
I've switched it to GSM only mode for now to see if it works. One message has come through as a test reply, but its intermittent so uncertain yet.
On the subject of intermittent, I just thought perhaps it is intermittently roaming onto another message centre number (if that can even happen?) and therefore not allowing SMS transactions?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
hi!
at the moment i have my third herald from o2 germany,also known as xda terra. all three have the same problem:
i use activesync and an exchange server to use push-email via gprs. but my herald decides to not let me communicate with the rest of the world. after the subway and switching the operator (o2/t-mobile d) (too) often it refuses to establish a gprs connection.
it tries, but fails... but best thing to come: it shows me full network coverage, but i can't call anybody, and anybody can call me. after a softrest, everything works again. gprs instantly, and even a normal phone call is possible.... (wohooo ) and that really annoys me, especially having a mobile phone, and nobody can call you even everything seems okay to you.
i already tried it with, and without installing the extended rom. - no change. first i thought it's probably some software i installed, but after the last hard reset i did not install anything. same problem. last idea of the o2 support was a new sim-card. but no change.
in my eyes it's a radio-rom problem, but o2 does not offer any updates, therefore there is no official way to test that. i would love to try out a custom rom and radio update, but because of warranty reasons i won't do that.
my radio-rom version is 02.85.90, does anybody know whether there are such problems with this version? OR, does anybody have any idea how to solve my problem? at the moment im really ******...
thanks in advance!
Hello
Some days ago I received my HTC Shift and I am very satisfied!
Unfortunately there is one strange Problem:
I am using a MultiSIM by T-Mobile, that means I have one number for multiple devices.
If the HTC Shift would make phone calls and someone calls me, the shift and my MDA Vario III would be ringing.
When I activate the Modem in my Shift it seems the Shift receives phone calls and then denies them! So nobody can call me when I am using my shift, since all calls are directed to my mailbox
Has anyone of you an idea what can I do?
(btw: I unlocked my Shift already to full WM6 )
The shift doesnt support phone calls...even if you have on sim card it wont ring
Use it for its gprs/edge/3g and sms sending n receiving

Hello
thats exactly what I like to use the shift for. I am not interested in making phone calls with it.
But the Shift is blocking calls, which should also arrive on my mobile phone...
I think HTC has made this blocking to avoid connection problems when somebody tries to calls the shift (which is not supported).
Is this right?
Might work?
I don't know for sure about T-Mobile. I am using a similar service (they call it "FlexiCard") from E-Plus. They have a function that allows you to designate one of your SIM cards as the primary card. This is the card that will receive calls (and SMS) first, only if this card is not active (phone turned off) or busy a call or SMS will be routed to the other card.
However, there seems to be a service difference between T-Mobile and E-Plus: I have the SIM card in my Shift still designated as the "primary" card. If the modem is turned on, this is interpreted by E-Plus as "busy", so calls go to my phone (which holds the "secondary" card). If the modem is turned off, the SIM card in my Shift is obviously inactive and not visible to the mobile network. So the only reason for me to switch "primary" vs. "secondary" would be to continue receiving SMS messages on my phone rather than the Shift. Unfortunately, for SMS E-Plus does not bother whether the "primary" card is active / busy or not, SMS always go to that card (understandable when you look at how SMS works on mobile networks).
If you don't find any information about switching primary/secondary card in your documentation that came with the card I suggest contacting the T-Mobile hotline. They should be able to tell you whether this functionality is available with your "MultiSIM" and how to switch "primary" between the cards.
Thank you mw65719 four your tip.
I just phoned with T-Mobile support.
They don't support it like Eplus to switch between SIMCards.
It is just possible to define a primary card for SMS service, not for phone calls. Whenever someone calls me both phones are ringing.
So I will have to buy a new contract with T-Mobile just for data transfer, which is more expensive than the combination of phone/data contract.
I have the same issue with the MultiSIM from t-mobile. Both phones (the other one is a Touch) are ringing, after the first ring a line-busy message is generated.
Seems that the Shift in canceling the incoming call after the first ring.
Does anyone has an idea to solve this problem instead of splitting the MultiSIM into two separate contracts?
Have just opened a suuport case at HTC Europe concering this issue. Seems to be a German (and t-mobile) specific problem.....
speech service ?!

find out how the call canceled
a: is it the 3g modem that set the networkstatus to -> data service only
b: or a apllication that will call canceled - reason busy
see here what i mean
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/laptop/hyperterminalmulti-sim-anleitung.pdf
I think it's part of the WinMo/SnapVue side.
Vista enables a lan connection with WinMo for internet.
So there could be settings in the registry to enable/disable this busy status.
I try to find somethin, but unfortunately i'm not a pro like others here in the Board.
Where are you folks, on Planet Mars, everyone and all documents I read say that the Shift cannot support phone calls???????

I had some phone calls with T-Mobile Business support and they told me a trick how to activate the phone function, but I dont get this to work.
What I have to do is the following:
1. Download and install a hyper terminal application on Windows mobile (I found http://www.cambridgevx.com (Server seems to be down at the moment))
2. Open a direct connection to the modem
3. Enter the following commands:
3a: AT_odo?
(this should show 1 which means speech is deactivated
3b: AT_odo=0
(speech is beeing activated)
4. Reset Windows Mobile and the phone should be activated
I was told this is known to work on some data modems and should work on the HTC Shift too.
But always I try setp 2 I get an error "cannot open data connection"
Has anyone an idea?

problem there is no phone pad aka dial pad in production models as far as i know. so even if u can re enable it u wont have any images etc... it'll most likely require a custom rom or if we get lucky a cab.

I am not interested in using the phone pad.
I like to solve the busy line problem (read some posts above). When activating the speech on modem side, this would be solve and I could use my Shift with my MultiSIM-Card

souds interesting ! .. have you try some scenarios ? with 3G enabled, with 3G disabled, with wifi enabled, with wifi disabled ... etc ?
I can't try myself.. but as there are data connection through 3G.. I think that it is possible to find a solution to the step 2 !
Anybody found a solution for this?
Getting my shift soon, and im going for a twin sim solution. would suck if i cant get phone calls on my kaiser cos the shift is on in snap vue mode and rejects the calls.
I am experiencing the same Problem with my Shift.
It is crazy, because my Mobile rings a halt time, then the Shift rejects the call. Afterwards, I have to call back.
The problem should be able to solve, but you have, anyhow, to tell the shifts modem not to reject voice calls. Still, I do not know how to tell the modem
Hello?
Has anyone resolved this issue? I'm a new MultiSIM user, and the idea of not having any internet with my shift is ****ing me off (that would make it as useful as a brick ).
Any resolution is appreciated.
Cheers.
HI @ all, i don´t know, if you fixed that problem.
I´m a multi SIm user too. With the original Radio Version (shipped with german SHIFT) the same problem. After that, i update the radio Version to the Phone edition radio Version:
see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486234
(but here always my WinCE Side was really slow??) so I Downgrade back the phone edition
1.27.35.28 and ce OS version 5.2.1620 (I00 ROm I think)
And now, Phone is working, and never the Multisim usage hangs up.
I don´t know why, i play every 1 month with Shift and upgrade, downgrade something, then the most time shift is not in use, so i don´t make a history what happend...
:-(
But with the new radio Version it will work.
maybe this rom work too:
Cmonex posted another radio for backup. This radio is for original rom (ie all other roms from the forum). Look for the link on page 5, or here
http://rapidshare.com/files/20211808...ift1582123.zip <- this is not for the phone or for this rom

it happens with all multiple sims when you have all the devices activated!!!...
when you have multiple sims and you have all the devices open...
which device should accept the call ??
it does not work as douplex land line... not all of your mobile devices should ring at the same time ... obviously the one that was opened first and got the signal from your provider should get the line...
the twin sim solution works fine with me ... plus unlimited internet access from phone and the shift...
BUT one device open at a time ...
Hello Everyone,
I really don't know if this post will be in the right place. I have been reading this forum for quite some time now and i can't find that many direct references to the HTC 3600i. Is the "Trinity" actually the 3600i?
Anyway, to the point of the post.
I have a HTC 3600i, purchased in Australia from carrier 3 (Hutchison 3G Australia). It is the original ROM from the carrier and never had Internet Calling enabled.
I have downloaded a collaboration of cabs that re-enabled this feature, allowed me to configure my SIP details and i could actually make and receive SIP calls using the handset. My problem is that regardless of what i do or what CAB / DLL / RegHack i do i cannot seem to get any sound through the ear speaker nor the loudspeaker.
The person i call (or the person that calls me) can hear me fine, i just cannot hear anything through the handset.
My desire to use the build in WM6 Internet Calling feature comes from being frustrated over trying about 5 different SIP phones that failed to excite me (as they cannot integrate with the phone ear speaker - like when you make a normal phone call, nor can they integrate with my address book).
Any information that could be shed upon this situation would be greatly appreciated (eg. how to make it so i can hear the person i am talking to using the Internet Calling feature). I am quite new to this scene but am very excited to get involved.
