Hi every one ...1st time poster and short time reader
I have a Cingular 2125 and I love it ...but with the corporate discount I get I get 2 phone upgrades a year so as my 1st year was ending I decided to get the 8125.
So the question is
in the 2125 I was able to set the setting so that only people on my contact list could see my phone number .... I dont this option in the 8125, is it possible to download something that will add this feature ?
That sounds interesting.. Dont know if that exists.
I just block my caller id for everyone
it was like that on the mpx220 but not on the audiovox5600. which is werid cuz the 5600 is the old ver of the 2125, i got a mda and this option isnt avaiable. i wish i could also only allow calls that are in my contacts list like on my moto v360 ...miss this feature MUCH!
but to anwser ur question no there is no way to do it unless u edit ur contacts and put *67 to block or *82 to unblock
yeah my phone history is
Smt 5600
2125
8125
the 5600 and the 2125 have that feature ...but its does not in the 8125 which really sucks ...
Sorry if this may be inaproriate to ask
but I have seen post about people making custom/moded roms for the 8125 where you flash it and stuff ...was wondering if making one would allow this option ?
Any way to have this fetaure put in a future offical update ?
okay I am going to venture out in my quest ot get this feature and useing a registry tweak ap called total commander I am going to try to look at all the registry entries that deal with this ... I still got my 2125 so I got something to compare to ...so lets hope for the best ...if all else I think I may pay some one to wrote a script or find the setting for me

Even if there is a Registry setting the Dialer Application is the workhorse for this so just adding the setting does nothing unless you also replace the dialer app on your wizard with one (say from the 2125) that pays attention to that setting.
kyphur u bring up an intresting point ...and I am guessing that the 2125 dial application is not compatible with the 8125...humm maybe back to sqaure 1 ...i wonder if the next version of the wizard will have this featuer.

I doubt it would work simply because of the differences in the devices. I don't think the 2125 has a touch screen and the 8125 lacks a numeric keypad.
once again ur right ...humm I wonder if any of the other touch screens has this ... I might just sell my 8125 and get an unlocked SDA from tmobile since I was at the tmobile store today and found the setting on that ( but not hte MDA) its defenitly something HTC puts in the phone ...I wonder why they take out such great features in some phones and put them in other phones ...HTC if you read this post ...PUT this feature back in ! tehehe
caller id to contacts only
yea i have the feature on my htc p3450 (touch) but it doens't work. i was going to post something about this, but i caught this thread. i have the same experiance though my audiovox 5600 caller id to contacts only works, my torq n100 didn't and neither does my htc touch. so if anyone could add some input it would be appreciated.
just a couple of notes
audiovox 5600 originally an att phone unlocked and used with cingular and tmobile the caller id works fine.
torq n100 unlock device bought online, but the caller id feature does not
htc touch unlock device bought online, but the caller id feature does not
thanks
Sorry I am no longer mentaining this(as you can see i no longer have a WM device)
Hey Xda!!!
I have decided to make a cab for those of us who have T-Mobile and woudn't
mind checking on our account status now and again.
I've just started to venture in to the world of the custom roms for the Rodium
and noticed they did not have this little handy app.... so with out any further ado this is for yoU
Version: My_Account 1_0_0_3
I will update when newer comes out
ps: This has only been tried and tested on Touch-IT Rhodium 6.5-23053
so please let me know if you are having any issue with this app on any other ROM
EDIT:for now this is only for US T-mobile customers

Thank you so much! I've been looking for this forever, never found one that works. This one works perfectly, thank you again.
edit: For the record, I'm using Miri's 3.0 version of his Manila 2.1 ROM.
The app showed up but it was unable to retrieve any info about acct.
maybe i can help

@humble
I've don't think there's a T-Mobile UK ROM at the moment - you can only buy the TP2 on T-Mobile through a 3rd-party company right now as T-Mobile don't sell it over here yet.
Many thanks for looking into it, I'd really appreciate a UK version.

I installed your my account cab and it reads "Unable to retrieve account info".
I uninstalled, soft reset and reinstalled it to try again but it does not work
I can't think of anything why it would not work.
Thinking........
Does the My Account program use the SIM card to call T-Mobile? Maybe something is missing from my SIM.....like a number??? My SIM card has the #646# (Check my minutes) and (check text usage)... Does the My Account use that?
Thanks for your time and help! I just wished it would work.

No problem,
One way to find out.. If its your SIM or not... Flash to another ROM and see if MyAccount works.. Use any one, mine or his there basically the same(i extracted mines from the dump of my phone).... Just my taxi was a little faster

Well i lost my phone on sunday, my fault but still verry annoyed. I tried using the myphone advanced features before but they never worked! Would have been so handy at this time, anyway I wasnt insured so I have to buy another one.
Anyone know what insurance companies are good for covering my HD2?
Im hoping someone hands it in, but in london thats highly unlikely
Can't help you this time round; but when you buy your replacement, go the Sprite Backup's website. They are offering HTC owners a discount on Sprite backup, plus an app (better than Microsoft's) called 'Terminator' that tracks your phone on Google Maps, disables/wipes it if you want. It will also send you an SMS if anyone tries to change the SIM card. But it will noy operate after a hard reset.
http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-backup-htc-special
interesting
now if someone would develop an app that could be built into a custom rom that would (unless disabled by a password after a hard reset) transmit a call log, the current sim number, the latitude/longtitude somewhere we'd have a pretty good chance of screwing up any thieve's plans... unless they know how to flash a rom. (although they shouldn't really be aware that this program is activated after a hard reset so they generally wouldn't know to flash the rom...)

I too lost my last phone HTC Viva (opal) in public transport.. i had installed various security software which wud sen sms incase sim is changed...... but didi got..... i think nothin worlks if ur thief is xda reader .....
one thinng we can do is insure ur phone or else avoid public transport lol....
is there a way to stop someone from seeing my info on the phone? I reported it lost to o2 and they said it would be blocked.
The phones gone, i just dont want the lucky sob to see all of my stuff
Will O2 offer to sell you a replacement HD2?
When I was with Orange many moons ago, if you didn't have insurance and lost/damaged your phone they would offer you a replacement (refurbished but looked new) at a reduced price (about a third of the RRP) as long as long as you would then take out insurance.
Just wondering if O2 offer anything like this?
Nope, they just said "We are sorry, there is nothing we can do" lol well something like that.
lol wish there was a remote self destruct on the phone

Did you try to call your old number? Maybe the one who found the phone is honest and will give it back.
when I rang it, went straight to voicemail. this happened all night and into the morning, so eventually I got o2 to block the phone.
I have my replacement sorted now, through my house insurance. (really didnt wanna do that) expensive excess at that! £250!!!
The **** thing about the police, pardon my language is the fact that if handed in I have to check with any police station which it could have been handed in at, there is no centralised lost storage system.
Oh well, you live and learn just hope my phone didnt have as much info as i thought it did!
I might write to HTC see if they can do something via the imei number.

Since we all will have different "settings" in the anti theft program there is not going to be a ROM that can include a functional recovery system. I would like someone here to teach us to replace our ROM with our current phone configuration, that way we can add our GPS protection software, configure it and replace the ROM. Is it possible?

well, i've not had time yet to read about creating a custom ROM nor the antitheft software linked in this thread but this is potentially the quickest solution.
but what I was envisaging was some form of registration with a webserver, probably based on serial number. i.e. with the software installed after every hard reset it would (when connected to the net) send the sim number and serial number to this webserver, thus allowing the registered owner to find all the information they need to really start messing with the thief. and from the updates on that anti-theft software thread i've seen there is talk of a webserver i think so this is probably the track they are going down...
unless the thief was to steal your HD2 and then not even use it once for the internet but that would be crazy
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.

any generous souls reading this?
i thought there was limit on the number of times the key could be used?

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!!!!

Got sick of all these people pming me and creating posts/topics begging for keys.
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.

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
