Looking for an app - area code

One thing I miss from a "normal" cell phone is when I get a call from a person that is not in my phone it would display the state the call was originating from based on the area code. My Mogul does not do this... when a call is incoming from a non-contact, it just displays the phone number and doesn't tell me the state... are there any settings or apps that I can load that would enable this functionality?
Thanks in advance.

dgambler,
The easiest thing to do would be to Google the area code. I have Google Mobile set as my Internet Explorer home page, so it's easy to just jump to that screen, enter an area code and BAM! the first listing from the search will be the info for that Area Code!
Hope that helps!
Matt

Just go into the phone and type the # (or any # w/ that area code) and it shows you the state in the drop down box

That's what I normally do now, but was hoping to have something that would actually show the state as the call was coming in... I have customers all over the US and they aren't always in my contacts (as they are calling from a "generic" officer # that isn't there direct line)... it's just helpful knowing where the call is coming from as it is incoming.

I've been searching for the same thing, and I have ony found 1, un fortunately you have to pay for it before you can try it. If I don't find anything else soon, I hope it is worth the 14.95. I don't mind paying, but I would like to test it first

Link: Handango

Yep, that's basically what I'm looking for... it looks like it just monitors the incoming calls and does a quick lookup.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why M$ didn't include this in the phone to begin with.

You can try CityID (i remember trying it on my 6700)
Here's a link to PPCGeeks thread about it. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=1295&highlight=cityID
It looks like there hasn't been an update to the application recently. It's worth a try though..

well before i did the 2.23 update, i used to get the state from the area code, but now after the upgrade i do not get it, any ideas would be great

I'm a little curious as to what happened to the company and program, thier website disappeared and thier program dropped off handango, the day after i bought it.

Mines woking fine, but i didn't get the update, If you could post the updated database, I'll give it a try.
BTW I wanted it to start automatically and run in the background, can't think of why they didn't put this option in the actual program.
Here's the MortScript to make that happen:
Run("\Program Files\AreaCode\AreaCode.exe")
Waitfor("Area Code", 10)
Minimize("Area Code")
Run("\Application Data\SCLPC++\SCLPC++.exe")

Im so confused!

Ok, heres my problem. I have a Verizon XV6900. I am currently on a local CDMA carrier. How can I get my HTC to work on my network, my network excepts outside phones so I know they will do it. Ive read about the Coke unlocker but I am confsued. Does the unlocker make it so you can use the phone on any CDMA network or just so you can put custom ROMs to it? Thank you very much, ive done alot of reading but I just need some clarification. Thanks.

The coke unlocker is so you can install new/different ROMs on you device. What you really want to do is a full flash to your carrier. Who is your carrier? I might have some good pointers or even a tutorial I can point you too.

I have a local carrier called cellcom, theyre a local CDMA company.

I did a quick search and it seems like there is some sort of cellcom rom or something out there for the Vogue, so if you can find that, you shouldn't have an issue. I couldn't point you in the direction of that though, didn't find a download of any sort, just some random info.

Well that's a new one to me! But any way to flash over to them from Verizon you will need to gather some basic information like:
PRL files
MNC #
SID/NID #
activation number.
To get your web MMS working you will need to know other setting like HDr/ppp username and passwords. server names ports proxys, etc. Those you might need to get from cellcom.
There is alot of info that you can pull from a current handset if you have one and some that you will need to ask them for.
Here is a LINK for a tutorial I wrote for flashing the Vogue to cricket just replace all the cricket info with the cellcom info. If you have a question on the tutorial post it in that thread. I monitor it better then here.

From what ive read I can use an alltlell rom and it would work. Could someone tell me how to go about this so cellcom can activate it because I dont have any codes or anything. Thanks.

You can put an alltel ROM on it but you will still need some of the setting I mentioned above unless they are an alltel MVNO which would technically make them a Verizon MVNO now. But anyway here is a LINK to all the shipped ROMs for the Vogue I would start there with a shipped and then upgrade after you have it activated.
Be sure to unlock with coke unlocker first and follow all the instructions.

Well I previously had a razor that was from US Cellular and that worked fine and was activated perfectly but I read in my research that someone had a US Cellular Vogue and it wouldnt activate with cellcom. Is there a way I can just get the unlock code and then have them activate it without messing with the ROMs?

The easiest way to do it find out the PRL & activation code for the OTASP and see if it will program the PST automatically. If it will OTASP successfully you will have at least talk and text.
and it won't touch the ROM.
Your unlock code for a Verizon device will be 000000. F.Y.I.

Could you explain to me how to do that? Im sorry but im a complete newb.

The PRL file is going to be the hard part, I did a quick search and came up empty handed.
For the OTASP I would say call your carrier and ask for it. Most carriers are like *228, *2, *22804, etc, etc.
If you find out the important info I can tell you how to use it.

This site will give you a little bit of intell on PRL's SIDs MNC's and different info you will need. http://www.roamingzone.com/

Ok, I used the service menu and pulled some info out of my rumor. I have the PPPID, PPP Pass, SID, NID, and PRL. I guess the only thing im missing is the MNC and the OTASP number. Im gonna call cellcom in the morning for the OTASP number but does anyone know where I can find the MNC.

Pulled it from my last posted link
here it is Cellcom MNC 600
Now on your PRL you will need the file if you don't have it post your PRL number here and I'll see if I can help you locate it.

My PRL number is 10010. But I guess cellcom doesnt do over the air activation, I called and asked them, so whats my next step? I really really appreciate all the help your giving me on this. Its nice to find an online community that is actually helpful.

Well so now you will need to manually program it with all your gathered information. To do so you are going to access the PST program by dialing ##778# or ##778snd then it will bring up another window click on edit enter 6 0's. Frfom there find all the info that you will need to replace and replace it. As for a PRL file it is a scarce creature for cellcom. I would recommend asking them if they might be able to refer you to where to get it.

try this one it works for me!!!
I have got HTC P3050 (TELUS) I have got a procedure to unlock SPRINT TOUCH but anyone can tll me that it will work for TELUS TOUCH i want to use it in India it may be any network
here is the procedure:
I did this for my Sprint Touch. I am still using it in the USA but my phone has been modified to support other carriers with no problem.
The steps are simple:
Here is what you need to do:
1. Download GetSPC(attached below)
2. Unzip to desktop
3. Turn off phone and remove battery.
4. Write down your HEX ESN
5. Power your device back on
6. Connect via ActiveSync or WMDC
7. Copy entire folder to main memory on device.
8. Run GetSPC.exe
9. In the top box type in your HEX ESN(make sure caps is on)
10. Click generate or whatever the button is named
11. The resulting number should be a 6 digit number, your MSL, write it down.
12. Search for, download and install Qualcomm's QPST tool.(not freeware)
THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE VERY DANGEROUS SO MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS EXACTLY.
13. Run QPST Configuration(run as admin if Vista)
14. From the Dialpad, dial ##3424#(##diag#)
15. Connect device to computer via USB(this will install drivers)
16. In QPST Configuration, click ports.
17. Continue to add ports until the QPST Configuration detects your phone
18. Under active phones it should display your phone.
19. Click Start Clients/Service Programming
20. Select phone and click ok.
DO NOT LEAVE FIRST TAB, THE SETTINGS TAB. THIS IS THE ONLY TAB WE WILL NEED TO CHANGE ANY SETTINGS
21. Under the settings tab, click Read from phone.
22. Input your MSL you got from GetSPC earlier.
23. Under codes where it says Service Programming, change this to 000000
24. Click Write to Phone
25. Wait 1 minute
26. Close Qualcomm QPST one window at a time.
27. Disconnect the USB cable from your device
28. Perform Soft reset once
29. Test new MSL(##000000#)
30. If new code does not go through, hard reset.
31. Depending on what device you have, follow the necessary steps to unlock your phone so you can flash a new ROM to it.
32. Install OEM ROM from carrier of choice or build your own custom ROM using the new carrier's information.
33. Follow instructions to flash new OS to device.
34. Call service provider and do some sweet talking to get them to activate the phone on their network. You may need to do some serious sweet talking because Sprint ESNs are not in Verizon's database and vice versa. This goes for all CDMA carriers.
Good luck.
just get the PRL & MDN FROM YOUR NEW CARRIER AND CHANGE IT USING QUALCOMM
IF U GOT CONFUSION JUST REPLY ME
ALSO I DONT OFTEN VISIT COMP.. SO JUST WAIT 4 MY REPLY I WILL DEFINETELY REPLY YOU
GOOD LUCK
ALSO HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Try using ##778# with no snd. Then you should have the new window pop up.

if u dont get a prl just try to connect any of phones running on cellcomm and then read PRL from that phone using QUALCOMM
also if u want to start it to cellcomm then just go there and fill up the forms and tell them to enter your ESN on their network now just install TELUS WM 6.1 ROM and then dial *228 it will automatically download all the PRL,MDN and change all other information
then flash any ROMS you like i basically like NFS FAN V17 ROM
ALSO U SHOULD PROBABLY DIAL ##778# IT WILL OPEN EPST TOOL THEN U WILL NOT HEAR THE RECORDING!!!!!
IF ANY PBL REPLY ME !!!!!!!
WELL HAPPY NEW YEAR

Advanced CDMA dialer menu *help*

So today I went into radioshack to get my epic 4g. We ran into a snag and my phone would not activate and the sales rep contacted sprint. They had me enter in a number into the dial pad and edit settings to my phone number and something else. This was at 8 in the morning and I was super tired.
I remember it begins with ##8800 or ##88900 and 1 or 2 more numbers ending in a single pound. I'm really sorry I don't remember the exact code but I hope this helps someone who needs it or for whatever reason. I think you can edit the CDMA network stuff in there. I'll keep at it.

I was in that menu earlier while getting help with activation. Alls you can do is change the phone numed and msid.

How to get Windows Live services/Marketplace working on Windows Phone 7. - Updated

To get all the Windows Live services working on your HD2 running Windows Phone 7 all you need to do is call Microsoft and get an Activation Code.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699
They dont even ask what phone you have, although if they do I imagine you would just say HD7?
I rang them earlier to get my code and as far as I can see everything works fine.
You need to have a Windows Live Email address obviously. This method worked for me in the UK but I cant see why it wouldn't work in other countries?
Get the number to call from here :
http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
If they say Windows Live isn't supported in your country either call and try again or just call the US/UK number over Skype.
To any one getting an Error in the Marketplace, I did this :

Then the reg hack here :

You can also do some of these if you want :

Hope this helps somebody!
One last thing, if you haven't flashed Windows Phone 7 on to your HD2, just do it. It is very very cool.
Have fun!

Can you dl apps from the marketplace? I too have succesfully activated my HD2 with a phonecall, but when i try to dl something, it says something like it can;t get the information right now, try again in a while, or so.

Yeah, I still keep getting that. Not sure why. Some people have had success by unlocking it? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127)?

Can someone please share his key with me? I would be forever grateful.

the last part of that thread gives an addition to make to your registry which will identify your phone as an HD7. Try doing this to your phone after getting the activation from MS, maybe the market is checking it against a list of allowable phones or something
EDIT: scratch that, looks like that registry edit just allows your PC and zune software to sync with the HD2

Question, what UK number did you call and what option did you pick please? I went to the activation bit but it was asking for product keys which i'm assuming they're on about Microsoft Windows and not Windows Phone, thanx!

MS gave me a code....all they asked was phone manufacturer.....also having dl issues like above. however i have seen a post on the net that windows live is having some issues

yea i had to call 3 times they dont seem to understand then the last agent found the activation generator and gave me the code over the phone and it worked but i still cant download apps it tell "Cant get this info right now. Check back in a little while"

+1... please and thank you!

Do you really think someone will call for you? They don't even have your personal information and e-mails, please stop asking people to call for you/send you code. It's pointless.
Nie ma sensu prosić o dzwonienie innych. Zresztą, w Polsce mamy oddział M$ i możesz sam zadzwonić przecież.

i hate to call with such support bobs can we just share one key? Ive read it can be set multiple times?
if i call, what should i say? its a person aint it? not a call-robot? i suggest i'd say its HTC HD7 but what if they ask why i need a new key? normally its included in the buy package?

Is anyone else getting the run around from 1-800-Microsoft? I tried calling them twice, but both times they told me they don't support Windows Phone and that I need to contact my cell carrier.
Is there another number those of you in the US are calling to get the activation code?

ITS ALIVE!
I just called here in the US. the # I dialed was 1(800) 642 - 7676 The 2 men I spoke to where dismissive, they immediately told me to call my carrier Tmobile or The device manufacturer HTC. I explained this is an MSphone problem. I asked him what help would they be? Im not having a hardware or service problem, im having a Microsoft Live account/services problem. They both explained that MS does not have Windows Phone 7 support yet, and again just repeated you need to contact your bla bla bla. I got frustrated and just said thanks for nothing and hung up. maybe ill call tonight and get someone whose willing to help. any other suggestions for numbers to call?
EDIT: Persistence my friends persistence. Be polite, now what your taking about and you will get your Product license activation code. Running 100% on my HD2

Ok finally got an activation key, looks like 3rd time was a charm for me. The first 2 reps I talked to had no idea what I was talking about and said they don't support Windows Phone, but the 3rd guy knew immediately and got me a code within 2 minutes without problems.
I now have Windows Live logged in, can't download from the market yet but it says I can't get that info right now, so I'm guessing it just takes a little time for the Windows Live certification to go through

[Q] anyone kind enough to share his live key??

The key can be used multiple times, so it would be nice if some people are willing to share. I can't get a key at the moment because the lines are closed but I can't wait to try some stuff out. I would really appreciate it if some one can send me one in a private message.

I'm just giving you this as a warning, I got the activation code about one hour ago by calling MS customer support in US, after I activated with the code I could login with my Live ID but then I realized that the softwares I installed using XAP like HTC HUB, YouTube, Flashlight, ... were not working anymore and it gave me an error like this app has been provoked by MS please uninstall it, so don't bother getting the activation code.
You won't be able to download app from market place after activation and I personally think that they're marking us out by giving out the activation code so easilly over the phone!
EDIT : First I had to change the name of the device from LEO70 to HD7 and then activate wp7 by the code, sooooo it was my mistake and now everything just works fine including the marketplace but I had to uninstall and reinstall the provoked apps.

Just follow the guide for activating live on WP7 Rom...and your device name will change itself(well for me it did so I assume it will for all) and then call MS and get the activation code.

You thought better of this community? First the key is supposedly tied to your Live ID, so thats a no go there. Also, 3 times is a very small amount, if something goes wrong with my phone and I need to re-activate it once or twice after the first, then I sure as hell want to. If you want a key so bad get one your self like everyone else, or go buy a real certified Windows Phone 7 device. Besides, I can almost guarantee the first or second OTA update will most certainly kill this exploit, even if the HD2 isn't able to receive it.

Totally agree!!! Do the work yourselves....
It took me a 5 minute phone call to get an activation code from Microsoft. No questions, no hassles. MS can't just track you down via e-mail or your Live ID. There are Data Protection Laws.
Microsoft only go after the 'big fish'
Don't worry. Just do it and enjoy Cotulla and DFT's awesome port!!!!
