Same problem here, it seems wp7 doesnt allow you to reply USSD commands. There is a work around though, for example say you need to dial *100# then choose Option 2, then Suboption 4, you do the following: *100*2*4#
This is how I activate some subscriptions in here.
I hope it helps

yeap, thx! i know this... but sometimes, if there is operation with the answers, like
"this operation cost: __$"
and you need to give an answer "1. Yes, 2. Now"
impossible to input such as "*100*1*3*4*4*2*3*4#"
just error will appears
so, this is a very big problem. It's crazy. So simple, must have function...
just facepalm to microsoft.

i have raised this issue in Microsoft support forum since Omnia 7 was first launched and they are yet to come back with definite answer on whether they are working on it. Therefore there is still no answer from Microsoft regarding this issue. Perhaps somebody may need to go through the official channel (Carriers) to raise this issue to Microsoft

Call waiting needs to be enabled by the network operator. Have you tried this SIM card in your other phone to see if it is to do with the operator or the handset?

No phone I know of will tell the other person that they are waiting, that is a network function. For example in the UK with landlines if you call a BT phone the person calling will get "The other person knows you are waiting, please hold" or something similar while they are talking to someone else. This is a network property not a handset one.
---
The only exception is devices like those made by Gigabyte, but to my knowledge HTC do not have this property.
He mean the well known problem in WM5 (and WM6) that enventualy mess with the alert queue. I got the problem and I solve it with the automatic clean-up of the program MemMaid.

From what they have said it sounds like you use MemMaid (http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/) to fix your alert queue. It has a "Rebuild the queue" option in it. Mahjong apparently uses MemMaid's scheduling abilities to automatically clean his phone, which solves the problem for him. I don't have this problem but hopefully that makes sense to you and helps you.
good
this is very important for pocketpc and ithing we must go for it any idea thanks

1) Search Google for Memmaid.
2) Install it in your PDA
3) Run MemMaid QuickClean (you will find it under Programs once you install Memmaid)
4) Done
This solve the problem to me.
Ah I almost forgot to mention that I learned about those 4 steps reading the messages at xda-developers.com... The Search option you find in the top of every page is a great tool.
Best regards,

I think you guys must be confused...
In my case, when i call someone that is on a call with call waiting activated on my HTC Touch doesn't "say" anything. On my old Nokia it "says" Waiting.
Another think i noticed is when i receive a diverted call on the old phone says "diverted call" and then put a simbol before the number. On my new phone no information about it is displayed.
I know this happens with HTC's... don't know about other brands...
Can anyone know if there is any app that can make the phone "smarter" in this case?

Speech Text Messaging?

Ok, so my city recently passed a huge ban on cell phone use while driving. I know I can have my phone reac any new message to me wehn it is received and I currently have it set up to do so. However, I have heard of other phone coming with a speech to text feature. Is there a wway to get something like this on the TPS where I can speak the reply to a text and be able to send it that way?
I don't know of any specific apps that do this, but I'm sure they're out there considering Bling and Google Maps have this technology.
I dont recomend trying to text while driving & dont like applications where you use voice commands but you should try this one
Code:
http://vitotechnology.com/voice2go.html
(not free but you could try the tial) it lets you control your whole phone by voice and you could add custom commands but im not sure if you could set it up to reply to sms.
ps: by the way nice to see another member from el paso

Thanks for this...I will give it a shot. Not only is it nice to see another member from ELP but also nice to see another person with a TP2!!! I have only seen a couple here in town!
This would be a very cool feature! I am interested in this also. Can anybody help out with this?
microsoft tell me
i had it on my phone ported from i think a samsung device.
it didnt fit too well with the screen resolution and whatnot, but it worked.
although it doesn't work if you have an accent or if you want to send messages to someone who has a rather unusual name
i went to a At&T store for help with something with a friend, he had and still has a verizon blackberry curve but anyways one of the associates there had a blackberry and showed him a whole buch of apps he got from a certian website (dont remember what it was) and one of them was a talk to text app and it work almost perfectly. ive been searcing for an app like that for windows mobile ever since then and that was almost 2 yrs ago!!!! i also just found out a few days ago from my girlfriend that theres a app like that for her iphone. i seriously dont know what microsoft is doin but they need to step their game up and to all the developers out there, you need to beat them to the punch!!!

Didn't pick up on the SMS part. Looking for an app to read/speak email messages(non-SMS). Especially, would be nice to be able to filter by sender, subject, etc.
Ok, so I found a few cabs for TellMe, but they all crash shortly after launching. Any ideas?
im interested in this tell me app so someone respond to miked79928 please!!!

I use TellMeText Version 1.1.0 on my Rhodium Touch Pro 2. It installs and works okay. If the installation crashes, the best thing is to redownload it until it works fine. Also try the app on different ROMS.
I have used it on ARK_N's ROMS as well as on Leo Cell ROMS.
Make sure (I think) you install BlondieSoft_MobileCertificates cab prior to the intallation of the TellMeText cab.
Hopefully this should help.
Why not sooner.
If someone can rip the install from the Samsung Intrepid I think we can get something going.
The only other option is Vlingo and it is buggy at best, you can search the forums and people have had spotty success with it.
This could be a real difference breaker at this point in time in the Mobile Phone wars, I don't know why someone hasn't jumped on it and capitalized, tons of apps already use voice recognition (bing, google) for driving directions, I don't know why in a world where people are dieing left and right from txting while driving someone hasn't jumped on this.

The tell me ap works for some and not for others.. I believe it has something to do with the carrier you are with. That said.. you guys are probably better of going over to the tell me thread and reading through that to figure out how to get it working on your phone. I personally gave up. It would install fine on multiple roms I was running and as soon as I would to go speak a text to it it would just hang then give me some error.
Regardless... no sense in having multiple threads about the same thing!
Do a search in the Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps forum and you'll find it.

TellMe does not work for AT&T customers on their network on anything but BlackBerry. I ran a packet trace and the packets leave the phone but there is NO response.
WiFi works fine but how often are you on WiFi on the go?
You need to install microsoft voice command FIRST then this. Just search, the cabs are posted.

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 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
Then the reg hack here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911309
Through this method :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907169
You can also do some of these if you want :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971
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

[RQ] Microsoft Activation Code

While reading all the great threads about WP7 I found that there are quite a lot of people that are not able to get in touch with MS, and they keep on spaming, trying to find one. So here's my idea: do not do this. Just ask here and if there is someone who can help, he could PM you.
So I'll be the first one. Anybody could help me?

I can't! It would cost me more than my monthly payment, and the skype connection so f***** up!
Jesus. You DON'T need to call MS in the USA. Call your local MS support (should work in all countries where WP7 is officially launched by the local mobile operators!) and they will give you the code. I'm from Bulgaria and to my extreme surprise I got the code within 5 min from a very friendly customer support agent on Microsoft's toll free 0800 number. The agent didn't ask for anything more than my name and mail adress. He even mailed me the code afterwords for future reference
UK ms are giving them out first time. give them a call through skype.
0844 800 2400 choose option 2 and then option 7
Does anybody know how many times we can use this code to re-activate our phone?
Just asking as I like testing this but I want to go back to android soon but just worried about re-activation issues etc.
^ Till now I've used same code to Activate 4 different Live Accounts! So my guess is its Device dependant. You can activate it any no of times as far as its the same device. Thats my guess!
Tou can activate 3 different live accounts with 1 code AFAIK. So you shouldn't be having any troubles with switching forth and back between Android and WP7
A notice to bulgarian users. For Bulgaria the MS number is 08001555 (free from all networks!). Choose option 1 from the voice menu and then tell the operator that you need a WP7 code.

Well I was referring to the same live acount but I guess that sort of answers my question anyway. thnx.
Can I ask though why you used 4 different accounts?
Well first when I activated using my Live account, Marketplace didn't work since that Account was created using India as locale.
2nd time I activated with a different ID, but that too turned out to be from India as initial Locale.
3rd time I created a totally new Live ID and this time everything worked perfectly. Marketplace and XBL worked just fine.
But then I thought of migrating my X360 XBL to this new ID and as soon as I did that, the Marketplace not available for your region error came up.
Finally created another account, activated it again and using it!
Ok I called customer service and they needed my name etc, but then IMEI wtf!!!!!
Can anybody please pm me an activation code????
Thanks

Actually I asked the Agent "If I hard-reset my HD7 p) can I reuse this code ?" And He said "Yes, whenever you format your phone and an error came up you can use this code again just don't give it to any other person" so i assume that the code is valid for My phone (or ID ?) to be used very multiple times but I'm not sure since he didn't mean it directly

[20 Jan][Guide]Get unlock keys for your HD2 WP7 in India and other countries!

BUMP: Microsoft again has changed the policies! Chat seems to be working again!
Thanks to members for the tip. I had a little talk with one of the fellow MS employes and he said, actual WP7 customers were suffering due to the policy change. People were finding it frustrating to have to send scanned copies. So, they made it easier.Enjoy!
BUMP: Microsoft has changed the policies! Now they need scanned copy of IMEI number and product purchase proof! If anybody is able to get key by any other method, do post in this thread!
Hello, people!
I see lots of people asking for unlock keys for there HD2-7, just because their country doesn't seem to have the call center. However, I have found that, Microsoft is supporting all the big countries!
If you find this guide helpful, don't forget to hit the 'Thanks' button.
Here is the guide.
1. First of all, you need the contact number of Microsoft call center in your country.

I have found it working for India!
2. Now, I think calls in most of the countries will be answered by the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System). Most probably, you will get lost in choosing menu options.
3. Simply wait for the last option where the system says that press __ to talk to our technical support person. (In India, you have to type 06)
4. Now, the person will receive you. Tell him your Windows Live Id and all other things. (you need not fake!) And tell them your issue. He may say that you are in wrong section! Ask him to transfer his call to product activation section for WP7. (All this is to avoid getting lost in IVRS menu!)
5. Now, your call will be transfered. Tell the person that you want to activate your HTC HD7! (Make sure, its launched in your country.)
6. That's it! The person confirms your Live ID and gives you the key. (Its kinda difficult though to get 25 characters correctly through phone. Make sure you take down everything correctly!)
7. If step 3 onwards doesn't work (like technical support person doesn't know what you're talking about) tell them the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699 and tell him that this is I want.
8. Alternatively, you can navigate to Xbox live support and ask them for key. (You have to tell them that you were asked for the key when you tried to access the Xbox live from your HD7)
9. Method of Skype is good but won't work on poor connections. (and most of the connections fall in this category, as far as developing countries are concerned!)
Again, I need your feedback. Comments are most welcome (and so are thanks!) Please, buy me a cup of milk, if you wish! (I don't like beer! )People in India can use SBI net banking. (PM me for account number!)
Hope you enjoy it.
hey akshay! Thanks for the detailed description. BTW i had no issue with activation key as that was butter smooth to get from MS India. As the HD2 now activated, how do you install apps from Marketplace as for me it doesnt download any apps from marketplace.
I tried these methods already
1. Clean install of WP7, activation of Live services by activation key and then logging in to marketplace via both region being India as well as US. It would show message something like "Can't get info right now, try later"
2. I also tried registry editing to as in here. Then tried connecting to marketplace. Error pop up as Marketplace not available in your location.
3. I did regedit on my Windows 7 to access marketplace using Zune desktop, which is a success, it opens and registers my choices, also show that your app will be installed soon, but no app is installed.
4. Finally i downloaded WP7 Desktop Marketplace, i works fine, downloads, as well as deploys apps to my phone but show error in a few app deployment. As of now this is the only work around for me with a few limitations.
If you able to access marketplace and download apps directly to your mobile or by any other better way, please guide me.
To all:
Why so difficult?
Please go to here: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
Choose the top chat. Wait a minute. Tell them you need a activation code for your WP7 phone. They ask name and phone number. After waiting another minute they give it to you.
Last question they have: Did it work? You say YES!
(I did this three times - for myself, my wife and a friend)

WOW !!! +1 for this i cannot believe it . actually worked - do u think we will be black listed in the future ?
Yeah i really say the same! It really works. Better to chat with the support, instead of talking and phone waiting. Took me about 3 minutes until i got my key! REALLY NICE! +1

I think, you should not do these things alternatively. You better perform everything stepwise according to the guide posted in HD2 WP7 section. It should work.

I did all as mentioned but as WP7 not officially launched by MS in India, no marketplace availability. Also Zune Marketplace app download issue is resolved, just a few more tweaks required and done. Now I am comfortably installing free apps from Marketplace using Zune. Also have a lot many Xbox Live games but wont post any links here as it would be piracy...no piracy on XDA.

Your problem is clearly related to your Live ID belonging to an unsupported Country.
Create a new Live ID with Region set to US and you should be fine.

Nothing wrong with correct name and number. They won't do anything.

Well Saurabh, you really don't need to Skype at all. I know how frustrating it is! As I've clearly mentioned, you can straightway call them and get the key. Also, some users have confirmed to get it via chat support. Please, ignore Skype thing. Its not really for slow connections. Use chat support or straightway fire a call. Looks like you'll have to wait two days as its already Friday and call centers will be open on Monday.
Reply with progress!
EDIT: By the way, call center contact details for India are:
Phone: 1800 102 1100 (Toll free number accessible from Airtel land line and mobile phones
Phone: 1800 111 100 (Toll free number accessible from MTNL/BSNL land line)
Phone: +91 80 40103000
