Hermes not showing name display

My provider, Fido, offers a service where the name of the caller and telephone number show up. It's called name display. Unfortunately, on the hermes, the name does not show up. I only get the telephone number.
I have used another phone with this service and the service works.
I have been through several roms and they all give the same result. Any clues to what could be going on?

bump bump77

I never knew there was this funtionality from the provider......
Always thought there was a conversion on the phone when there comes a call in. Number recognition is we'll known, name send with the provider I have never heard off.....
Hope someone has an answer for you!

"What is Name Display?
It's a unique service exclusively offered by Fido and Rogers that lets you see on your handset display a caller's NAME and phone number from Fido, Rogers Wireless and landline callers across the nation, even if it isn't entered in your phone book. So you'll always know who's calling you. "

dying to find a solution
I have Hermes from Rogers. I have name display and of course stop working after upgrading to WM6.
just to prevent duplication, please read what I've done so far at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3078617&postcount=9
I don't have enought info or experience. Can anybody help? Work together or direction whatever...
This cannot be impossible. I don't think HTC developed a driver only for Rogers.

[Q] Rogers Samsung Focus on Fido?

Hey Guys,
I'm contemplating picking up the Samsung Focus to replace my HD7 but I'm confused as to whether the phone will work on Fido without having to unlock it?
I have an O2 version of the HD7 but really want a 3G Windows Phone and ideally would like to have MMS working as well. I know by unlocking the phone i'll lose the function altogether until we can figure out how to access the settings in the phone manually.
If anybody can fill me in if the Samsung Focus will work flawlessly on Fido without having to unlock or not that would be great!
Thanks!!

Worked perfect for me. No unlocking required.

Awesome! Can you confirm if MMS works on the phone too?
Thanks!!

mms
Why is everybody so worried about mms working or not, you have a phone that is really only good with data, so just email the pic if mms doesn't work who doesnt have email now days.

It's not that MMS is important but it IS a feature of the phone. One that is handicapped from the unlocking process.
It is also a feature that many would still like the ability to have as it's easier to send a quick MMS to someone instead of sending them an email.
Especially if the receiver doesn't have push email.
Hopefully the January update addresses the lack of a configuration menu for these settings and gets rid of the problem altogether!

I'm going to be doing the same thing too. Switching from HTC HD7 for a Samsung Focus. From what I understand the Rogers phone will work with no issue on FIDO. It's great because FIDO never has a good selection of phones.
I'll be over to the Samsung Focus forum more one I sell the HTC HD 7 and get the Focus.

Awesome! I think i'll be picking up my Focus tomorrow. You get it free on a 3 year contract if you buy a samsung laptop so I can kill two birds with one stone picking it up!!
I hope it's everything people say it's supposed to be. I really like the HD7 but hate that it doesn't work on 3G with Fido!!
I figure the Focus is the next best thing as people have been raving about the phone and the onboard memory versus the media card memory. Having the UI run even faster and smoother is going to be an awesome plus for the focus!!

Just wanted to fill you all in with a quick update...
The rogers focus works flawlessly with fido but still is unable to send mms messages as it's locked to the rogers settings for that feature!
Loving the phone otherwise!!!!

Hi guys, for those of u who have used the rogers samsung focus with fido, are you guys having the same issue as with the galaxy phone where the sms time stamp is off by 5hrs or not??

Not having any time stamp issues on the Rogers Focus on Fido.
I think it's another one of those small issues created by the unlocking process.

sms timestamp is not from unlocking its from the rom and the way the network does sms, telus/bell handle sms different than fido/rogers thats why bellus phones usually have timestamp issue on fido. I understand the deal with mms but its no deal breaker.

It's just a shame, because for some reason we can't access the root menu on the rogers samsung focus to changed the mms settings
I no it's not a deal breaker, but buying a cellphone fullprice would be great to have all the functionality working in some way

Hey... I'm looking to get a Focus now (had the HTC HD7). Any quirks with Focus on FIDO ? Looks like SMS might have time stamp issue. MMS not working no big deal. Tethering would be great if anyone has the settings. Anything else as a known issue or quirk? I'll post any if I come across them but if there are any others I don't want to repeat them. Over all does 3G work correctly (fast) ?

No quirks as far as I know. In fact I was surprised, I just poped in my sim in it, it work right out of the box, no unlocking, nothing. I just had to specify the APN. No timestamp issue. MMS doesn't work I can't get to the root menu to change the settings.
As for tethering, you'd just have to go in the diag menu and change the setting for it. Haven't tried it, but got to the menu where I saw the option for it.
And yes, 3G is pretty darn fast. I mean IE isn't AS good as the browser in android or iphone (yet) but still very good!.
I'm really glad I chose this phone instead of an iPhone!

Okay.. going to BestBuy now as I called and they say they are selling for $550. Where is the diag menu you speak of and then once there what are the FIDO settings?

Cool good luck
I had no luck at futureshop!
Anyway!
You can see all the codes there (some aren't working for some reason...):
http://www.win7phones.org/forum/samsung-focus-faq/145-samsung-focus-diagnosis-codes.html
And you can use the following procedure to tether (just use the fido or rogers credentials):
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/samsung-focus-does-tethering-after-all-on-windows-phone-7
and the apn settings for Fido are:
fido-core-appl1.apn
(no user or password)
Enjoy!

Best Buy wouldn't let me buy the phone off contract for some reason so hoepfully you'll have better luck then I did.
Also, Samsung just updated their Network profile app which lets users configure the whole phone automatically to their carrier provided the phone is unlocked. Can anyone confirm that this has worked for them and all functions such as MMS and what not are working on the phone?
I can't try it out yet as my phone is still locked and I'm waiting for my unlock code by email. As soon as it arrives i'll test it out and let you guys know!
One weird thing about the app, it blocks the app from working if you're on a contract with your provider. Not sure if this is due to the phone being locked or if it's read through the IMEI. Eitherway, I hope it works.

Let me (and us ) know when you unlock your focus how it goes. As mine I didn't had to unlock to so that it works with my sim.
If that app solves the MMS issue and so on I don't mind spending the fee to unlock the focus!
(where did you get yours unlocked?)

Hey Guys!
So I used the website www dot theunlock dot ca to get my unlock code which cost $10 US. It was quick and the code was available on the site a few hours after payment. I entered the unlock code in the phone and it is now fully unlocked.
I ran the network app provided by samsung and it opened (Finally). This was already a good sign as the app originally wouldn't open on a locked phone. Anyways, I went to switch the profile and the only profile available on the damn app was Rogers. I'm not sure why this has happened but Samsung needs to input a profile for other carriers for the Canadian market.
This app hasn't really solved the unlock issue for users in Canada which kinda sucks but I hope they will soon enough!

now that it's unlock are you able to go in the root menu by any chance?

MMS Samsung Focus on Telus Network...

I bought a AT&T Samsung Focus for super cheap. I have the data running just fine and fast, however, it seems that MMS is a big pain in the butt. I can't get it to work at all. Anyone use Chevron WP7 in the past to get to the hidden MMS settings? I tried to load up ChevronWP7 but that it doesn't seem to work anymore either...

Samsung has updated its own Network profile tool in the market that allows you to set up the MMS settings. There is no need to hack your phone anymore.

I wish this was the case... however... I bought a phone which appears to still be "locked" to AT&T's network. The issue is the used phone may be connected to some kind of "AT&T" Contract? I got the ChevronWP7 NetProfile.xap to work but it's pretty much the same thing - just doesn't work.

yep something is still locked in the at&t focus. have one in new zealand and the samsung network profile tool only shows me the at&t profile to select from. MMS doesn't works for me either.

Alright this is not just me. The MMS APN is locked away somewhere... probably won't have the MMS unlock without some tweaking from the community for 10 months. Samsung has gone on file saying they were "protecting" AT&T and other providers.

Yeah, same here. Using my focus in Norway and everything works perfectly except for MMS (and of course the marketplace which we don't have over here yet).
Haven't been able to find a solution to this anywhere. MS is aware of this and says it's on their prio-list, but Samsung says that it's designed for use with a specific carrier.

Yes... I'm stuck here too without Chevron. Phone is unlocked (I paid for unlock code) but there is no FIDO network name to choose from for the MMS setting.

I got mine unlocked. I'm using it on Telus.
The only way I got chevron to work was after I had reformat windows. I reinstalled an older version of zune and it worked.
Not exactly the best solution but the only that worked for me.

pardon my ignorance, I have never used the function, but isn't there an "add apn" on the bottom of the cellular menu in settings? what does this do?

The APN is only for Data. MMS is actually a cell hone function (like SMS) and it seems without Chevron, there is no way to change the settings.

Unable to Make/Receive Phone Calls

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction here. First off, I am an AT&T customer who is trying to get the DVP to work on their network. I bought an unlock code off of ebay (which seemed to work), but I cannot make/receive any phone calls. I can get Edge to work just fine and can make and receive text messages but all of my phone end almost as soon as I start them. And if I try to call the phone from my land line its immediately directed to voicemail.
On a side note, I have tried multiple AT&T sim cards and all have the same result. I also tried a co-workers tmobile sim and everything worked like a charm, so I know the phone isn't broken.
Any suggestions?

Can you try turning off 3G if its available as a option?

3G is an option but turning it on/off makes no difference on the phone side of things.
Could the unlock code that I received cause an issue like this? Is there anything in the EM app that could assist in what is going wrong? It makes no sense to me that I can send/receive text messages but I can't make phone calls.

Can u rest the phone and see if it helps?. Also try manually selecting the network.

The reset doesn't seem to help unfortunately. How do you go about manually selecting a network on the DVP? Is that in the EM app?

No, it should be as a option in the settings->cellular.
Does it even show the network that the device is current on?

It does show its on AT&T, but there is no option to change it I can see. I also configured the APN at the bottom to wap.cingular, but that didn't fix the phone issue.
BTW, appreciate your help on this! I am willing to try anything at this point.

Well, APN has nothing to do with Phone call. I think its just for text messages.
Ok..Here is how you do manual selection using AT command. Do this only if you are comfortable and don't blame me for any screw-up
Go to EM App->Protocol(password 6336#)->TMO->AT Command
No click the input field and type the following(at is automatically populated).
Manually search for the network:
AT+COPS=?
The above command will list all the available network. Once you do that, take a clear pic or write it down exactly and post it here. I will then give the formatted command to register it manually.

APN is for wireless internet access.

Here is the formatted command(for ATT Sim Cards):

Let me know what is the output and if it succeeds.

To be honest, I didn't even know that this was possible for the DVP yet. I've asked for unlock codes from T-Mobile every month that I've had the device (first attempt January 7th) to no avail.

Entered this in and it returned OK.
It did not enable us to make/receive calls though. It still acts like it's going to dial and just ends abruptly, and calls made to the phone still go straight to voicemail.
Also, just for fun I tried dialing using ATDT and a number and it returned NO CARRIER. Not sure if that will help narrow this down or anything.

I am facing the same issue. Using Unlocked Dell Venue Pro in India - worked wonderfully for a week, and then stopped making calls. my Problem is different. i can receive calls, send receive SMS and browse the internet (on 3G )as well. But Cant make outgoing calls.

Out of curiosity, those that have problems -
1. did u unlock using the AT command?
2. After unlocking, did u change/try changing sim cards (even if its from the same carrier)?

First off, thanks again for your help on this.
1. The unlock code was purchased from some website and when the AT&T SIM was inserted, it prompted for a code. So no, did not originally use the AT command. Is there a way to relock and try this process again?
2. Yeah, we tried a few different AT&T sim cards with the same result. We tried another T-Mobile sim and that worked perfectly.

[Q] Telus Note 3 SM-N900W8 APNs greyed out, how to modify and change default?

I have a Telus Galaxy Note 3 N900W8. It has APN settings by default for sp.telus.com, which are all greyed out.
It has isp.telus.com, which I want to use (I'm using a data-only plan/sim card), but I cannot select it.
I added a new APN and replicated the isp.telus.com, but apparently by looking at my billing I was started to get charged lots of money, and the new APN I added is gone (I'm assuming due to a reboot!).
I do not want to root my phablet, and I'm thinking of sending it back. Apparently rooting sets off a trip counter. Is rooting the phone the only way to fix my problem, actually most importantly, can I fix this default APN stuff and greyed out stuff if I root my phone?
Any help is appreciated

Had a similar issue on my SM-9005 - Can't edit the APN settings, when I add a new one, it vanishes after a short period. -- Thinking that the device reads the sim for data info directly and pulls from it? - however the mystery of the vanishing APN I have no clue about.

Still looking for a solution.. Let me describe my problem again:
So I have a Telus Galaxy Note 3 (I paid full price), and I got a tablet only plan from TELUS.
Problem is, when I put the SIM card in my phone, it defaults to sp.telus.com, and doesnt allow me to switch to isp.telus.com.
I have to manually add a new APN with isp.telus.com, or else im charged outrageous charges. Even worse, sometimes the new APN gets deleted and switches back to sp.telus.com ($$$$).
I unlocked my phone and put a bell SIM card in it, and it goes to pda.bell.ca (apparently the tablet only plan is on pda2.bell.ca, so im assuming i have to do the same thing).
Have anyone been through the same thing, any tips? Do i have to completely root my phone and put another ROM like cyanogenmod to solve this problem? (I dont really wanna lose all my S-Note features though..)
I looked for apps, and apparently no apn apps exist anymore.
At the very least i need a widget or something that writes my APN on the homescreen so i can verify if im on the wrong APN often.
Help!

you can try to use this code...
*#272*IMEI#
Replace the imei in red with your imei number of your phone.
As soon as you press dial, it will show you a selection of APN network. Look for the one you wish to use but... this will FACTORY RESET your Phone.
I had Telus and wanted to have Koodo for network... so I chose the koodo one and now every time I put the sims in it loads koodo network apn
Hope this helps...
Do some more reserch if you're not sure.

Yes... Bought a SM-N900W8 from TELUS which used the Telus APN...
TYPED IN the phone dial pad... *#272*000000000000000# (replace 0's with your IMEI number.)
You should then see a screen as shown below.
Just make sure you see the one you need before you do anything.

Cool thanks it worked! You just gave me a workaround. If i put the telus one, it still defaults to the Telus SP apn.. So im gonna install the bell one and manually add my telus ISP apn, that way ill never end up on sp.telus.com!
I think i might switch to bell data flex plan, only if it uses the default APN set (i think pda.bell.ca).. I just got to find out what apn their tablet flex plan uses

Happy to see that it helped you somehow.
Good idea to do it via Bell.
There is a way to add an APN to the script but I am not confident enough on a linux system.
I'm sure someone could show you how if possible, then it would show potentially on the *#272*# Code.
