Can some one tell why does my EMEI have 17 digits instead of 15? :shock:
My operator says that it should be 15 digits, and when i check it in phone settings it has 15 digits, but when i insert the code (*#06#) it gives me 17 digits... :shock:
Some one told that maybe my phone was stolen, but it was not!... some one else told me that my calls are being listen by the police, wich doesn't make any sense... can some help on this?

I hope you meant IMEI code.
The format is 15 digits.
If you have 17 digits, the last 2 reflects the software version number of your phone. The code is therefore known as IMEISV.
Hope that clears up your confusion. :wink:
IMEI
YES, i meant IMEI!!
But when i bought my phone it had a 15 digits IMEI...
and i haven't installed any aplication that could change it!...
Can someone give more information?
THANX!
where do you see that IMEI ?
in device information under settings ?

Hi Friends....
I have a small question....
I lost my HTC-S710. The phone was having device lock enabled.
Is it possible that the person who got it can use the mobile by reflashing it?
(Is Reflashing is possible even if they dont know the device unlock code?.... as when I connect the device to PC the ActiveSync was asking pasword for me... So can the person flash ???)
i think it's possible but not 100% sure. Because with my wizard a friend entered 3 times the wrong code and blocked. After hard reset i can get in my wizard again.
Yes the device lock will be wiped during the reflash so it won't help unfortunately
Call your operator and the imei will be blocked on all networks if it's stolen. At least that's how it works here in sweden.
The person can simply turn it off, perform a hard reset and they are back up and running. Any data you had stored on your SD card will be available to them!

Hi asmarttechie,
I know it is easy.... but after I disabled my SIM from operator when I went to Police station they refused to log complaint and advised to register the lost/stolen mobile with e-seva. I roomed 3 e-save and got one where these kind of complaint is taken. and I could register it 2 days later of my mobile lost....
I agree with you to track/block mobile using IMEI number and I have the BOX with me..... But I am too not sure if Cops will show any interest to do that . Also Mobile operators will not do that with out police interfering....
Also in Jagdish Market they can rewrite the IMEI number it seems So loosing hope because of Cops and Operator
Update::
Hi Prabha... the police r hopeless i suppose in this matter, anyways i came across a very interesting news that has been making rounds quite for some time now::
Simple to find Lost Mobile
An IMEI number-The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is an international identity number used to uniquely identify a mobile phone. The 15-digit IMEI number is an electronic fingerprint transmitted every time a phone is used, which reveals the identity of the mobile handset.
How can I find out my IMEI number? IMEI numbers are independent of the phone number and are usually written underneath the battery or on the back of the handset. Mobile phone users can also check their 15 digit IMEI number by dialling *#06# on their mobile handset. Mobile phone owners should make a note of their IMEI number and keep the details in a safe place.
If u lost your mobile, send an e-mail to [email protected] with the following info.
Your name:
Address:
Phone model:
Make:
Last used No.:
E-mail for communication:
Missed date:
IMEI No.:
"No need to go to police station"

Just give it out a try and there are many chances that u might even get it back.... btw wen did u purchase it?? .... ALL THE BEST
Hi
I would like to add some pc of info
I am using the software called remote protect.
As soon as a new sim is inserted it gives you an sms on a alternative no registered by you at the time of install stating the phone stolen
This blocks the phone to start completely
You can give command/s from remote number like batt ,status wipe phone mem or card mem your device will respond without the thief knowing tht sms are being sent..
If can also let you know the International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI) and IMEI.
Also there are other softwares like mobile Swipe from Sprite.
This software works on non-PPC devices?
yep I run sprite terminator on my smartphone standard, if the retard swipes my gps as well I can track the fecker, though looking forward to getting a smatphone standard with a decent built in gps...
you can also wipe, lock, and it reports sim changes to several chosen numbers, you send commands over SMS which dont show up in the message box and don't make a noise so the thief is non the wiser
cook your own rom and include terminator in it and even if they hard reset you still have control and can track it, wipe it, lock it, hopefully soon you will be able to taunt them with pop up messages on the screen... It would be worth having a phone stolen.. every time they chance the sim, it tells you and then you can taunt them further...
the only way they could stop it is to re flash.. and how many of your average thieves are bright enough to do that...?
I use an app called Eye On Thief - its trial version works fully well
BTW, do let us know if that [email protected] email ID helped at all

Very good info.... I will write the email now and lets see what is response...
I ported my old Orange number onto my TMobile contract. All seems to have worked correctly, apart from the fact that my TP still displays the temporary TMobile number in Start/Settings/Phone. Is there any way I can change that?
I've spoken to TMobile CS, and they reckon it can't be changed, and all phones do that. I'm sure in the past when I've ported a number it's been displayed correctly (been a long time so I'm not 100%).
There is no such number on mine at Start/Settings/Phone. I use Vodafone. Where is this number?
It's the very first thing on the 'Phone' tab, right at the top. It says 'Phone - ' then my number in international format. It's not an editable field, just a label.
There is no way to change it as that number is hardcoded into the SIM, To be honest that is actually still your number, when people call your ported in number it is in a way call diverted to your true number, it is transparent process from the point of view of end users, but in the background that is what it is doing.

I too thought that this was the case, but it IS possible to change the phone number displayed and here's how.
People->All People
Menu->SIM Manager
Menu->Tools->List of Own Numbers
Then Edit the top one which is your phone number.

Cool but mine cannot be saved. When I close sim manager, it 's gone.
Hmm, I'll probably end up with the same situation from october 6, when I port my orange to Tmobile. The sim already provided, has a different number
I'll be *****ing about that in the Tmobile shop if I can't resolve that for sure....

Excellent. I needed to switch off/on, but it worked a treat.
i've searched but couldn't find a topic about this issue.
whenever i receiver a sms it shows a number instead of a contact name is there a solution for this?
Weird, the Mogul doesn't do that. Must be a bug, should do it automatically. Do you have your phone prefixes set correctly, since you imported the phone?

yes my phone prefixes are set correctly
i have the same problem, sometimes.
some times the contact name is shown , other times only the number.
have to look further to see if i can find why number or contact.
grtx , arnold
I have the same problem.
with me it's like it can't switch between te land code and 0, (wich is for me +31 or 0 and the other way around)
This is also when the phone me..
Does anyone know how to solve this?
thanks already
Paul
edit: I found a solution to my problem some where on the net,
in the regestry edit
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch
change the value from 12 to the desired number 7 (or 8 in my case)
advanced config ----> Phone ----> Call Id match: 9
this was the solution for me
Also, check that you don't have the same number in your phonebook twice...
I have a big problem with my newly bought HTC Trophy. The caller ID does not seem to work correctly. All my contacts have the country code prefix for all the numbers (+47 or 0047 here in Norway). When I receive a call the caller name is not shown, only the number. But if I remove the country code, the caller name is shown. But then all the text messages I receive, shows only the senders number and not the name. How do i fix this?? This is a big problem for me.
I've tried switching the Internation assist on, no good. Please help

I was going to say post in Microsoft answers but i see you already have lol
Hehe Yes I have, and apparently there's a lot of issues with this from other countries as well. This is such a fundamental thing to be working so I'm suprised Microsoft doesnt have an offical saying in this..
For now, I cannot use my phone, I REALLY have to be able to know who's calling before I decide if I gonna answer or not..
Stupid MS, apart from this I'm actually very happy with the my first WP7 device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971
use the callerid fix
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
where the dword is the number of digits in your phone number, less the country code
eg, singapore uses 8 digits, +6512345678, so it's
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:8

Same HTC 7 Mozart user here in Malaysia, doesn't have the called ID issue...
The count should be like this:
+60
123456789
so, 9 should work for you, remember to restart your phone after the reg applied.
I cant find where to post this, this website changed so much, but it was on my new s22 ultra so....
I got a call from "NONE" the 'number' beneath it was "NN".
No voice on the other side, and I attempted to called back. Then my phone popped up a little message near the bottom of the screen... "USSD Code Running."
It kinda freaked me out. What does that mean?
Do a Google search on "USSD Code Running". A lot of info comes up.
oh my...
Which code was it?

I've seen this kind of behavior when I've had the phone in my front pocket, and I happened to be sweating. The sweat carried the electrical signals in my skin through the pocket liner (I'm no scientist, just my running theory) to the screen and thus, randomly unleashing all sorts of weird mayhem and shenanigans.
It's either that or gremlins.........
Happened again, check the recording
Probably just a harmless rootkit...
For whatever reason it's probably just the way that phone responds to some unknown numbers with no caller ID. I block unknown numbers, try that.
Freaky.
Can you block the call?
I don't call back unknown numbers.
Off topic -
Noticed that Samsung added a feature in Samsung Messaging that allows users to block e-mail messages.
its an Aliens
It is mostly likely a SPAM caller. There are automatic dialing apps that can either spoof a number, or completely hide the number, which makes it difficult to block.
I'm have Verizon and it has a Call Filter app. Check with your provider if it has a call filter app. You can also find third party call filtering apps.
Unfortunately, dealing with SPAM and scam calls is a game of Wack-a-mole.

It just dialed NN corresponding to 66 which triggered a USSD code.

Yeah...don't call those kinds of numbers back. If something like that comes up, or you get a blocked number. Let it go to voicemail. If they leave a voicemail, fine. If not, don't call it back.
It is possible someone was trying to run a Smishing scam on you. With the aim to hijack your SIM and take over your phone service account. Depending on your carrier, the USSD code could trigger your device to do something you don't want it to do.

I do it short and quick :
The mobile Phone number of your simcard
Has now call forwarding active to the Hackers Server (ussd MUST bei activated by the victim/target. Hacker need the victim to call a 10 Digits number that will Route to His Server)
Its a curently Well known Hack ... (Thus Person was smart enough to hide His 10 Digits number ... Well played good trap)
What the attacker wants... example :
Get into all your Accounts that are secured with YOUR PHONE NUMBER
...WhatsApp Google ... An E-Mail Account ? Etc etc
So...
I dont believe IT was random Attack.
Someone who know how or someone who ordered this
Knows you ... And need to dive into your privates
(thats childplay Hacking from YouTube nothing unknown or hard to do)
Good News : Sometimes ...someone Else is "the target" .... So the attacker needs informations Out of your device and apps....to get information about the Others real Targets Phone number ... in that Case your device/Accounts need to be Hacked or hooked or jacked ....
If your simcard is older than 5-8 years ...Hmmm
Maybe the simcard still use [email protected] browser. (A Browser placed inside your simcard)
Get rid of such a simcard too. Better Sirius lee
Change ur simcard Phone number for ur savety.
But
do it by EVEN changing the mobile Network Provider. (Best in Case If u have an old jackable simcard)
Sad fact : If the Hacker has enough informations from your simcard u need to Change the Provider. Because ... Your Provider maybe gives u a Brand new simcard ... With a new number that u ordered (the Service to Change Phone number to a new one) ... But ... The new number ist the only Thing what Changed all other leaked informations will stay the same as an act of keeping your customer number in the customer Care systems.
U need new customer number or Change the Provider + new number
My Tip: Use a Landphone number as a WhatsApp number ^^ need to recieve calls to activate the new WhatsApp Account so No Premium SMS Hack possible.... its More save
And ... U can start new the new start is : never leak ur simcards original mobile Phone number. Not in those days. Use the original simcard Phone number to Order pizza or a taxi. Give IT to No one and u dont need to Clean everything... Like u need to do NOW

Jupp thats so obvious ... The trap was better than call the target and please the Person to dial the number that activates the call forwarding Code that waits on a Server
Sim jacking needs the [email protected] Browser in the simcard. Needs to be an old one. Network Provider dont sell new regular simcards with the [email protected]
And dave wouldnt know that an invisible SMS with Codes reached his SMS Inbox :/
No need to call him in that case ... Just send the right prepared SMS and Game over
