On my XDA 11 to the left of the signal strenght icon i oftern see a icon that looks like the handset symbile when the phone is making a call it has a circle above it with a cross in it.
you cant click on it, (ell you can but nothing happens) its only there for a fe seconds every now and then.
the book with the xda 11 shows this icon on a few pictures at the beging of the book, but under the icon descriptions the icon is not listed.
anyone got any ideas
sorry in my post above i have noticed my "w" key was sticking so please put a "w" in front of any word that dont make sence
I've noticed the same thing. HAve no idea what is is though...
Anyone? :roll:
thats the caller-id program icon bro
it just show up at start up and when u get a call..
LOL! Of course! Thanks!
But it is not working
the caller ID program isn't working for me anyone was able to get it to work ??????????
BTW, this ID programm is not working actually...
Also, I want to find the way to unistall it competely, but it's not listed :shock:
Mine sort of worked then it stops, but the little magic icon seems to pop up when it feels like it, the phone dose not have to ring, unless someone is trying to ring but the phone dose not actially ring.
think i also need to uninstall it
why would ANYone want to uninstall it?
did i forget to mention its a PICTURE caller id??
it will only work well if/when u assign pictures to each caller!
otherwise, u'll just get the same incomming call box.
i love mine!
I've tried, but when even previewing calller picture imate hangs. Buggy crap
i have the same problem, i have added a few pictures and it sort of works once or twice, and thats it..........

IT"S FIXED! GET THE UPDATE
Hi ID64 thanks for the link, but dose this install Arabic as well as fixing the problems. I am from the UK and using a o2 xda2
thanks
John
Well, in my case it didn't installed Arabic support, all you have to do is just disagree with EULA agreement and it will skip all installation of Arabic support.
i will download and try it, i will let you know how it goes
Thanks
John
Did this resolve the issue John, did it work?
Yes i can confirm that it works fine on my I-mate, the only problem is that you will have arabic insalled with it if you don't already have it. but the Called ID Works fine
Regards
Hmm I'll have to wait until O2 come up with a fix then, as I can't understand a word of arabic.
Then again it does work perfectly on my machine excepting that it swamps the nofity queue.
Hi,
I flashed my XDA Neo with the latest Dopod ROM but I lost my HomeZone app. Can someone upload it here? Thanks!
home zone o-2 de
Hi,
Did home zone application ever worked for you? I had my neo with german rom and home zone application never displayed home icon or any visual indication that I was in home zone, when in fact I was in the home zone area. And yes application was loaded.
It worked on my magician (xda mini), but not on prophet (neo).
As far as actual application cab. I've seen it somewhere on this forum an attachment with german ext rom folder. Try that.

Hi,
here you go. For me it works with the XDAneo. The icon only shows when I klick on the "Phone-Connection" Button. Not the best solution in my opinion, but it works.
Bye,

Very strange :?
Installed the app, works, says that HZ is running, but also "No coordinates received". And no little house anywhere
HZ problem
I've got the same problem.. I think there is something else you have to install from xda neo ext rom.. I've tried installing everything though, it didn't fix the problem. This issue accure after the rom upgrade to WWE from German. But to be honest, the HZ didn't work for me even before upgrade. I didn't have a problem with coordinates though. It just wouldn't display the home zone icon..
Yeah man, doesn't work for me either. What do you think, if I just wrote to O2 customer support and explained that I didn't install their crappy extended ROM, would they be so kind as to give me step by step instructions on how to get my home zone icon?
HZ and o2 tech reps
Not a chance! : ) At least not with O2 in Germany. Sorry for bursting your bubble, man. I’ve called them before, several times intact. I’ve spoken to a few different tech reps regarding this issue on few different occasions. Their only solution is a hard reset! They only go by the basic manual they have for this, where’s the only solution for fixing anything is hard reset. These guys there have no idea how to reset PPC without manual!
On one occasion I’ve asked them about “English WM” ( WWE Rom), since my previous phone (Magician) was in German, (that is when I was plain uneducated about flashing this phones and etc.) and guess what their answer was?! They’ve said that flashing the phone or putting any localizer third party software was going to kill the device without chance of restoration! I mean c’mon, how smart is that? So much for the tech support!
But any way, you try that, may be you’ll have more luck! May be they just wanted to prevent me from half flashing my phone or incurring any other errors to the point of no recovery on my own. But I have half flashed my prophet few times, had RUU stopping with all kinds of errors half way trough the process, leaving the phone with no rom Installed, and still, managed to restore the rom. It only cost me my fingers that I bit of in the process and tons of beer for the recovery : ) any way, good luck! Let me know if you find the solution.
By the way, you can ask them to enable voice indication of home zone. You’ll here Voice indicator “Home” when dialing from home zone. It’s kind of inconvenient, but it’s the only solution for me right now.
Unfortunately, aleksandr is absolutely right. The German O2 XDA support is not just poor - they disinform you! Come on, I know much more stuff about those devices yet than those guys, and I've had a PPC for only a couple of months. The "home" voice is the only solution for me too so far.
Awww, come on! I was kidding, that's why I put a smiley behind my post and used a somewhat sarcastic choice of words!
So for Home Zone voice confirmation I just call the hotline and ask them to enable it? That would work for me I guess. A simple icon would be better though... Sometimes I wish I was smart and could just write my own little programs!
HZ working now!
Hey guys. The other day I had nothing better to do then taking apart Neo’s german extended rom content and tried the home zone application on my prophet (wwe, dopod 818 pro rom) I’ve installed Home Zone cab posted by Sauron1978de and then RilGSM patch from the O2 (can be found in german O2 extended rom content. And funny thing it worked! I tried it a hundred times before and it never worked up until now. Just make sure you install rilgsm patch last. It does the soft reset at the end. I have home icon now in my connections notification bubble. Let the pda run for a few minutes until it receives new sms with coordinates and you should be all set. Make sure you have home zone short cut in your start up folder.
Good luck!
Hi!
It works for me too! But I would like to see this icon on the top of the screen without pressing any buttons.
icon at the top bar
yeah, me too! no luck on that though..
do you know how to get rid of the sting "HZDisplayDataSMP" which appears on the top of the screen?
how to get rid of the sting "HZDisplayDataSMP"
No idea. never had this. may be by unchecking "Receive channel list" in Phone settings - More- Broadcast Channels- Settingds.
But by doing this, you also will no longer recieve new coordinates for HZ.
But again, this is MAY BE, as I don't really know what I'm talking about here I don't have this problem to play with.
i too have HZDisplayDataSMP popping up as the active app after waking up. most annoying, though pressing OK or red phone button gets rid of it. still, as i said, annoying. would like to know if there's some way to disable it being displayed, without turning off the "Broadcast Channels"-enabled option, as the HZ app seems to receive and use these broadcasts to enable the HZ display. well, that's my experience, anyways...
so, in short, anyone know how to hide an app from being displayed? or maybe forcing it to always run in the background?
Basically I am looking for some software which, on receipt of an SMS will initiate an outbound call to a number in the contact list on the phone.
something along the lines of :-
SMS received from 1-555-5555 containing the word CALLBACK and a password.
Phone then dials 1-555-4444 or any specific contact as defined in its config
it doesn't have to use the contact list but must be triggerable remotely.
Target device is a HTC Hermes. and possibly a StarTrk
The program doesn't need to be stealthy, it's to initiate the call with full permission from the owner but without intervention.
Partly it's for my grandfather, if I give him a Startrk then I want to be able to activate a call remotely if I get notified that he has triggered his medicalert system, so I can try to see if he is ok without him having to answer a call.
I googled, and found nothing, I'm hoping someone here can either write an app that can do what I need, or suggest a product that will enable me to do this.
Auto answer is too generic, I want it to be just for myself and not all callers, and the password is because there may be times I just want to send a generic SMS
Sounds like you are talking about an SMS Callback trigger, though I have never heard of a mobile based one.
I always seem to want the impossible or the unwritten maybe it's time one was written?

just unwritten, it's not impossible
pretty easy actually
i'll try to throw some together this week if/when I have the time
try this
Just place it on the phone and edit the config.ini if needed default settings are:
trigger = CALLBACK
password = pass
I tested this on my TyTn2, and it seems to do what you wanted, the program will activate the speaker when calling (can be changed in the config.ini)
this way if your grandfather cannot reach the phone he still be able to talk..
But test it before use, I'm not sure how sensitive the mic of the phone is.
I do like the idea so I'll probably add some more functionality
- auto pickup on call from fixed number
- status
- call/sms log
Let me know what you think.
PS. this was created for a touch screen device not a smart phone...
also I can not be held responsible for damages, phone bills etc.
but that goes without saying ..right
-=edit=-
tested by sending an SMS to myself, the program then called my number, but when i tried with a friends phone it didn't work
let me know if it works for you (if you have 2 phones)
also make sure if the number you send it from is in your phonebook or not (could be the issue)
-=edit=-
that is the issue, working on it
Issue solved
now I need to figure out how to replace the attachment
I'll add it in a new post
I also believe SKSchema can do this in watch mode. Actually SKSchema can do lots of cool things in watch mode.
new version attached
-=edit=-
build a cab, also added apptodate support
is it just me or does it seem to autodial the number that sent the SMS?
one addition would be the facility to set the option that if number X sent the SMS then callback to number Y
example - if I am in the US I will have the number 1-555-1234 but my grandfather is in the UK - +44-555-5555
I run a voip line with a UK DID number such as +44-555-6666 so when the SMS is received from 1-555-1234 the return call goes to the +44-555-6666 instead of the US Cellphone (cost reasons lol, UK landline free, international call of any length = US national debt)
Here is a SMS Trigger I built, do not know if that satisfy you.
Check rk-SMSSwitch under my signature.

Sorry, i just noticed this reply
To be honest i wasn't planning on creating one, but i could give it a shot
the biggest problem is i don't have a Smartphone to test it on..
I'm sure you could probably find a few testers in the forums, there's quite a lot of people on here!
I'll obviously be willing to test anything you are able to come up with. I don't know where you are located mr gee but on ebay UK you can buy an old Orange spv c500 (HTC Typhoon)or c600 (HTC Tornado I think) really cheap now. There are also WM6 roms available for these devices on this site somewhere.

Attached is the same program but compiled for a smartphone, I'm not sure if it will work, I remembered I have an emulator for smartphone installed, but I received an error message when running the exe.., I think because the CF.NET wasn't installed..
let me know
I tried it on my QTek 8500. The exe ran but all I got was a window with a blue background and the words "SMS2Call v. 0.03" in black.
No buttons to press or anything, had to use Task Manager to exit it. Which id did without complaint. Thanks for trying, some work may be needed I think

Currently that is the program
Could you try to edit the ini file?
in case you have 2 phones, add the number from the 2nd phone in the file
save and run the program
send an sms from the 2nd phone with the passcode mentioned in the ini file
your 1st phone should call this number after the SMS receipt
I know the program doesn't look like much but i might fix this in the future
when i do i'll also look at the exit button.
the reason i didn't was because the application was for an older person,
this person could be playing around with the phone accidentally closing the program ...
I looked in the .ini file and then tried sending a text to the phone containing the words CALLBACK PASS. I tried this with/without a space, up and lower case, with the program in the background or on screen but it didn't do anything. Do I have to put a shortcut in the Startup folder or something? Or am I not formatting the text message properly? The sending phone number is in the contacts list if that makes a difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Could you just not set his phone to auto answer ? - that way you can call him any time.

not really, assuming it works maybe it has to do with the formatting,
Callback should be in capitals and pass in lower letters.
when I tested this with my TYTN2 it worked the way it should.
also did you enter the default number ? e.g. the number that will be called?

[sarcasm]
Gee why didn't I think of that...
[/sarcasm]
Seriously have you read the thread?
the topic starter didn't want it this way for several reasons...
Default number and closed flip
I didn't enter a default number because I want it to respond to any number that sends the text. I deleted the DefaultNumber line from the config and it worked, to a point. The phone I'm running it on is a Qtek 8500/HTC StrTrk, which for those who don't know, is a flip phone. My problem is this, if the phone is closed when the text is received the call is made but cut off immediately because the phone is set to hang up calls on closing. Nowhere can I find a setting to stop this from happening, anybody have any ideas?
Right here we go
You can download the Google Panel files here in the "Google Panel.zip" file. This Zip contains the files needed for the google panel (including some renamed files to work with the VodafonePanel registry settings).
Download the file, extract it somewhere on your pc.
Make sure your phone isn't on the Vodafone Panel and connect your phone to the pc and open Program Files/Panels/VodafonePanel/
Delete all the files (don't worry, I've uploaded a copy of the original Vodafone Panel files too)
Now copy all the files from the Google Panel you extracted to the phone into the VodafonePanel folder
Disconnect your phone from the pc and press the panel key.
Enjoy the Google Panel
Thanks very much for this mate. I want to get the X1 on vodafone, since its too pricy for me to justify getting it sim free/unbranded. Seeing as you know more about the vodafone version of the phone than I do, would you mind answering these questions I have please?
1- Is it really sim free, as people are claiming it is (what I mean is, can you put another sim in it during the contract period and just use it as if it was a normal sim free phone- while still paying for your contract, of course- due to travelling, I may have to do this a couple of times)?
2- I have heard there is a problem regarding the internet connection on vodafone versions, where it will restrict you from using wifi to connect for some reason. Is this true? If so, is there a way round it? (I specifically plan to only use wifi over here)
3- Other than the google panel being replaced by the vodafone panel, are the rest of the panels the same as on the normal sim free models? (I heard one other one 'The design panel' is missing)
4- If I perform this change to replace the vodafone panel to the google panel, can the google panel then be changed for something else? (ie, will it be locked to the panel UI like the vodafone one was?
Thank you so much

1. It is sim free, I'm using mine with my Tmobile sim
2. I can't get it to use Wifi myself, but there are others on here who have.
3. I don't have the design panel on my vodafone branded X1, but it appears the rest of the panels are standard and unbranded.
4. The vodafone panel can be unlocked by changing the key HKLM/Software/SonyEricsson/PanelManager/Panels/Vodafone Panel/Locked to 0.
Hope this helps
'I can't get it to use Wifi myself, but there are others on here who have.' -At all!!!???
One more thing then: if the phone is vodafone branded, what happens as regards firmware updates?
Cheers
I can use wifi for opera etc, but email and messenger want to use the vodafone gprs or 3g.
It has Windows Update so I assume that is where any updates will come from
I've got a vodafone one with an O2 sim in it, so like Hutchy says, it's definitely sim unlocked.
I've connected to my exchange server via wifi fine, although I haven't tried it with any other accounts.
Realistically firmware (ROM) updates will be done manually by you after OliNex and co have created a HardSPL to allow us to flash without bricking our phones. If Vodafone are anything like O2, they will only release an updated ROM once a year, about 6 months after HTC have released it.

windows update is not used as far as i know - its quite redundant. ive never received an update on it for the years i have used these phones! If it plays out like it does with other HTC phones, which i assume it will, then the new firmware will come from Sony Ericsson for unbranded, but for the network operator phones, it will come from the networks, so Vodafone will get it, play with it and then release it, if they ever do!

Anyone else have any issue with multiple words? When I search using two keywords, it only passes the first one to Google in Opera.
Does anyone have the google panel cab so I am able to install it???
Cheers
I tried using this to install over the O2 panel, but it now says 'No Screen Shot' on the panels screen which is less than ideal! Other than that it works fine... Any way to fix this?
Anyone? I can't be the only one who has this.
I tried copying the google panel file to the o2 one but it won't let me, how do you copy them across in the first place?
If any kind soul wants to do a walk through for 02 I too would be most grateful!

Just a normal file copy using the USB cable worked for me... Well, apart from the Panel image not showing up.
Is anyone else getting the 'No Screen Shot' image?
Funny, I thought the panels were supposed to be miniturised 'live' previews of the panel application not static images. I'm surprised there isn't even a way to refresh the image it displays.
Okay, I managed to fix the preview not showing up... I'll post it here in case anyone else gets the same problem;
To replace the O2 panel with the Google Panel, first follow the instructions in the first post. Then you need to edit the registry:
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\Panels\O2 Panel
Edit the following keys:
Landscape to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\l_bh.bmp'
LargeLandscape to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\l_b.bmp'
LargePortrait to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\p_b.bmp'
Portrait to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\p_bh.bmp'
Hope it helps someone.
Is it possible to use the google panel and the vodafone panel?
I thried to copy the old VodafonaPanel Files in a new folder called TestPanel haha
But it doesnt work.
Somebody who' nows how to use both of them?
Best Regards Alcje

hey hi may i know how could i acces to hkey_local files?????????
Hi all,
I have a rooted SGS and I put a ROM in to allow me to read and type in arabic, but the person who made the rom didnt include swype! how do i install it again as its no longer in my application list.
I have tried a few APKs but they throw a force close error.
THanks for your help
Are you sure it isn't there? I think Swype keyboard is part of all SGS firmwares.
Try the following: go to Locale and text in the the Settings. If you can see the option "Swype" under "Text settings" that should mean you've got the keyboard. Then you can go to any place where you can input some text; tap-and-hold the input area so that you get a menu. Select the option "Input method" and you should be able to select the keyboard type.
Good luck
I already tried this, the only keyboards available are the MobiDiv one (which really sucks) and the samsung one its definately not there ... i mean say someone uninstalls it by accident how do they go about putting it back? :S
http://rapidshare.com/files/399792033/Swype.rar
hi all,
this link is swype and it worked perfect on my galaxy S incase someone else needs it.
i saw today complete arabized samsung galaxy s in Kuwait but the price wa a bit expensive compared to UK/Us pricing
there isn't an official place to download a ROM from other regions like how HTC do ?
