Please don't show me the Last Name I dialed !!!

Is it only me but I wish to keep the last call private but the XDA insists on showing it in big bold type on the phone panel with some ambarrasing consequences. How do I disable that feature.

I cant think of any scenario that would be a problem but if it because of secrets then get another phone and use that one for the calls you dont want anybody to see, personally my phone stays in my pocket when it isnt being used, if I did have something in there I didnt want anybody to see I wouldnt hand my phone to anybody else to give them the opportunity.

Thank U CT but u will appreciate the Q is a techinical one not a moral one.

I am not moralising, I was offering a solution to your problem.

With respect, CT, u offered a behavoural solution not a technical one. I expect there are others on 'xda-developers' that may proffer a technical solution. Thank you, nontheless.

If you go to settings/phone and enable "require pin", the only thing you see on the phone page is "enter pin".

hi
just go into call history and delete the call you dont want anyone to see.

Phone options....

Did somebody know how to disable functionality in Phone mode that is sending Your Phone number ID, to the call receiver?....or in other words...is it possible make anonimous phone calls?..
tnx

There are 2 ways. Ask your provider to permanently switch off caller id or go to Start - Settings - Personal - Phone - Services - Caller ID - Get Settings - No one

Of course, you realize that the Cell Phone company still knows you made the call, and whom you called? So it is anonymous only to the receiving party, not in any permanent sense.

Yeah, we should fix that too ! No more bills (Big OR small) :lol:

should be interesting in fact....aha....thanks to ZERIMAR... i was able to redefine the settings avoiding to send ID nr. to my frends......

Didn't the GSM network have anoption never to show Call-ID, unless you put some code in front of the tel.number ?
Or was it the other way around ?

Instead of permanently disable Call ID forwarding through Phone->Settings as suggested, in Italy we have also a code you can put before the number you're calling that disable the ID just for that call. The code is *06#. Maybe other countries are using the same code too, don't know.
Isidoro

Yea it is but if i want t permanently hidden , i should redefine all numbers in phone memory adding this code in front...and then if somebody is calling me, ID is not going to be linked to the number in phone memory......better set up everything in the the phone functions directly....

Cant change Caller ID display setting :( helpppp

Hey guys, dont know why but when i go to Settings/Phone/Services/Caller ID/Get Settings, its on NO ONE, but yet people still see my number, when i try to change to Contacts Only, and than OK, when i come back to the screen its back on NO ONE, but yet again still phone number comes up. I need to disable this ASAP! i cant have people seeing my number for work purposes becuase i call alot of clients and dont want my number exposed like that

bumpppp ????

I don know about your country's telco. But then as for my country, Call ID display is dependent on the subscriber services. We will have to subscribe to Caller ID no display in order not to show our mobile no to the receiving party.
So to me the caller ID in the settings does not applicable to me.

well im on Tmobile in USA, and i was always able to switch it, but i dont know what i did or installed, but its not working anymore

I thought this was an operator setting?

Hi.
Thanks for this. I called twice. First time, the lady was reluctant to help me and continued on insisting that I call MS UK!! I said "Whatever!" and hung up!!
I then called again and got through to a guy who was excellent. Gave him my details and told me to hold on. I too gave "A" UK landline number and he didnt say much. He then came back with an activation code....and it worked!!
Thank you!!!

That approach didn't work for me. You want them to think youre a n00b. I said that I was glad to finally speak to somebody because I didn't knew what choiches I had to make to have actually somebody on the phone. After that I told the good fellow that I configured my email account (live, hotmail etc) and that it's needed to be activated. I said that there where 5 bars, and that I found it rather weird beacause I didn't new If they want an andress, name etc. Then the men laught and sais, no It's needed a 25 diget code, and every bar you can enter 5 of those. I played dumb and I said I called my provider, and they said I needed to call HTC, wich told me to call microsoft. The guy laughs again and he only asked for my name and my telephone number.
What I want to say is...make It like you didn't knew what hit you, make them laugh. The will not be suspicious!!

@Fabian1985 yeah well sounds stupid but i didn't want my scottish accent playing the wrong cards so i dumbed down my words and spoke weird
it kinda aided the process!!

I have a product key for the windows live activation for Windows Phone 7. I don't know if its a one account use or not, I can hand it out if you'd like..
I've had to use it more than once so I'm pretty sure it's not a one use product code.
It was easy for me to get the code since I live in the US, so if you wanna give it a try let me know

Ill give a code try, called UK & US m$ 20 times today with no results

My experience was very similar. I am from the UK, but spoke with an american representative named "Angel" (she sounded just like Dolly Parton). Angel also asked for my IMEI number. I answered all questions honestly, including saying the device was a hd2. This seemed to cause some confusion, I guess it wasn't on he drop down menu or something, but I explained "I have installed the HD7 software on a HD2, and she just said "ok" and gave me the code.

There's thread about this guys, please don't make any new ones involving how
you got your code.

i can see you don't command fluent english, and you will be surprised that the many who do, don't have the balls to speak up just like you did, and demand to xda that the activation process for wp7 made simpler...

I tried called the Microsoft hotline to request for an activation code and the person replied that he needed a couple of pictures of my phone front and back and a copy of the receipt of purchase. So i asked why did he need it and he told me that there have been a lot of callers requesting for the activation code for their devices when their devices aren't really the windows phone 7 devices,they somehow ported the operating system over to their phones lol

did you have to give a usa telephone number or did they accept your uk one??

I rang the UK number and was put through to a lady who sounded Indian (she asked for first name and then asked for my phone number in case we got disconnected)
She asked how I could help
I said I have installed the new windows Phone 7 OS but it continually asks for activation when I try things like marketplace ect
She apologised and asked for my EMEI and I think my mobile phone number
Then she said what make is the phone, I said HTC and she said HD7 okay (I did not say the model)
Then asked me to wait a minute while it generates the code
Then Gave me the code and asked me to repeat it back to her to make sure it was correct.
Then thanked me for the call
A very pleasant experience

Stop saying them is a HD2

phone 7 activation in denmark
Sent an email to microsoft.dk...yada yada i need to activate my HTC Trophy yada yada...
reply from ms:
mail us your mobile number and we mail you activation key...
Same day an email from ms arrived with a key...
Plain sailing here....

Do me a favor, DM me a key
I tried all possible ways to get the key but to no avail. Emailing, calling, and stalking. None worked.
I'd appreciate if anyone can send me an activation key. WP7 is almost useless without live services. Thanks a million for the taking the time.

Same here I tried calling but they keep asking for my receipt of purchase. I mailed, but didnt get an answer.
On the chat they asked again for receipt of purchase.
I dnt knw that to do could someone please pm me for an activation key. thanks in advance..

And if you need any more info. tell them that u got the phone as a gift. It is Tmobile HTC HD7 and you are suprised that it is asking for a activation key.
And keep the conversation going on saying that thats something new and nice. And ask them to give you the key orelse you cannt use ur phone.
And one more thing. tell them that you are calling from other phone.
PM me if u need any help.

I got the activation codes today; simple. But when I tried to install an app I get this message. "Cant get this info right now. Check back in a little while."
Any suggestions?

check your wifi or gprs conuction , i think this is not work.

awesome, I just chatted with microsoft customer care, they only asked for my phone number and that's it. They throw me the code right away! Can't believe it can be that easy ><

You're recieving that error because before entering the activation code you should've unlocked your phone using ChevronUnlocker.
