Hi everybody,
I have an HTC S710. Up to today, on top of the screen, next to the G (GPRS) a number 1 appeared. The phone worked perfectly.
Today, for no apparent reason, a number 2 appears, and suddenly, Im not being able to place any phone calls.
I can recieve phone calls and I can send and recieve sms properly. Just to be sure, I tried my SIM on a different phone and I was able to place calls.
Anybody has any idea on how to change this or how to set it back to the normal settings? Help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!
Dan
It seems you have changed your outgoing phone line.
This service is called 'ALS' (Alternate line service).
It depends on your SIM card, whether this service is available or not. As you've written yourself the number '2' appears in the display. I cannot tell you, how to switch back to line 1. But this is the error in your case.
Hope it will help anyway.
hi it is because yer opperator offers 2 lines
simply hold in the # key with the slide closed to switch between lines
so if it is on 2 now, hold # for about a second, and you will see line 1 apear again
Solved!!!
Pressing the # key solved it!
Thanks a lot for your help, it was great!!!

I've heard about this, but I can't find the article to see how somebody else resolved this same issue(don't think it was here...or at least I can't find it). I need to dial two asterisks immediately after eachother. When I try this I get an asterisk and a P. I can't access my work voicemail without entering two asterisks.
I have two basic scenarios. I either dial in when nobody is there and I get automated attendant, enter my mailbox number, it rings 4 times, then on pickup I have to dial ** then my box number and password. Off hours I could probably create a number with a lot of pauses to accomplish this, but if I call in during the day, I get the receptionist, and I need to manually enter the **. Waiting a couple of seconds before pressing each will give me two asterisks, but I need to enter it within 1 second and WM6 won't let me do it.
I have a 8525 using tmo. Please help anybody!!! I don't mind a work around, I just need it to work.
Love the 8525. Pressing ** through dialer will give you a P, but slide out the keyboard and use the * there and it works fine.
same problem... but no resolution
I have the diamond (no slide out keyboard)... is there another fix? anyone?
Anyone using, or planning to use, the HTC Touch Cruise on the UK T-Mobile network will very probably need to do a special setup on their device to get voicemail access working properly.
The symptom is that your callers will be able to leave you voicemail messages but you will not be able to pick them up from your phone. When you get a voicemail message you will get the notification but when you press the soft key to access voicemail it will dial the number but you will then get an error message saying "access to this number is barred" and the system will hang up on you.
If you try accessing voicemail by holding down the "1" key or by explicitly dialing the voicemail access number retrieved from the network (probably of the form "+44050<your mobile number minus the leading zero>" or ""+44068<your mobile number minus the leading zero>") you will get the same message. Dialing 222 will work but will also initiate a voicemail setup message each time and however many times you switch your phone on and off to reload the voicemail settings from the network it still won't work.
I just spent 2 days with the very helpful T-Mobile support to sort this out, ultimately getting escalated up two levels in the technical support group, until I got someone who recognised the problem.
The issue is simple to resolve. The problem is that the format of the voicemail access number that the T-Mobile UK network pushes down to the handset is incompatible with the HTC software on the Touch Cruise (and maybe other devices too). The thing the software doesn't like is the "+" at the beginning.
To fix it go to the Settings/Personal/Phone application and click the second tab ("Services"). Now select "Voice Mail and Text Messages" and click "Get Settings...". You should now see a screen with two access numbers populated, one for voicemail and the other for text messages. Both will probably start with "+44". The text message access number is OK so don't mess with that but the voicemail access number won't work with the UK network. Simply replace the "+" with "00" and click OK and then your voicemail should work as you expect.
I haven't tried accessing voicemail outside the UK so it is possible that the above might break your access when roaming and you might need to edit back the "+" when travelling. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with non-UK access and a "0044..." setting rather than the default "+44...", does it dial the UK access number OK?
(Actually, I never looked at the mechanics of accessing voicemail outside the UK, does it still dial the UK number or does the host network automatically push an alternate local access number to your phone when you register with the network?)

Nice on Julian. I bought an Orbit 2 on O2, but my number doesn't transfer to O2 for few days yet, so have been using my T-Mobile SIM, and also experiencing this problem.
Thanks for sharing the tip!
I'm on UK T-Mob Web&Walk. Switched the +44 entry to 0044...but my TC then coundn't send texts. Switched it back and fortunately can still access voicemail as well as send texts. Strange.
I'm with T-mobile running an old T-mobile sim card on my new TC, when first called voice mail it gave me a long introduction then said "turn of your mobile off and on again to not get this messages again", I turned TC to "air plain mode" back to on mode and everything was cool from there on.
It seems that not everyone have that problem OR T-mobile has sort out that problem after Julian told them about the problem. In any case, thanks Julian to share this with us.
PS (today after reading this post is the first time that I use voice mail with my new TC)
Similar problem on WM 6.5 Asus Crystal
I had exactly this problem with T-Mobile and WM 6.5.
T-Mobile technical support was excellent, ringing back on several occasions to ensure that the problem was fixed, even though my handset is not a supported model. Once I was put through to 2nd layer support they fixed it in seconds.
In a nutshell, if you text and voice service centre numbers begin with a +44......, change them to 0044......
This did not happen on my XDA Exec WM5.0, so appears to be a new thing in WM6.5?
I hear that someone used an old .cab file from their Fuze and got Internet Connection Sharing working on their Verizon TP2 ? Can anyone confirm / share the .cab?
Also, I know "conferencing" is disabled on the Verizon TP2 but I have heard you can still do a 3-way-call? I have not been able to figure this out - can anyone fill me in?
Thanks
oh my god!

Info on 3-ways calls straight from the HTC manual located here: http://member.america.htc.com/downl...ro2_Verizon/HTCTouchPro2UsersManualforVzW.pdf
This if for CDMA mode, GSM mode is also in the manual.
Making Three-way Calls in CDMA Mode
To set up a three-way call, directly dial the participants and add each connected call to the three-way call.
Starting a three-way call
Press the TALK/SEND button to open the Phone screen.
Make the call to the first participant. See “Making a call from the Phone screen” for instructions.
When the first call is connected, make a call to the second participant. The first call is put on hold when
you dial the second call.
When the second call is connected, tap Flash to start the three-way call. The screen displays Call in
progress.
Tap Flash
When a three-way call is in progress, you can open the keyboard view the call in landscape view. You can also
tap Flash to cycle between the three-way call, Caller 1 only, and Caller 2 only.

No need for a Fuze cab for ICS or anything like that. Just download the attached XDA WiFi sharing cab and you can turn your phone into a wireless router and connect from any wireless PC/laptop that supports ad-hoc wireless networks (basically all of them).
See the other post above for directions on the 3-way call.
Nate
can someone with a verizon tp2 try 3 way call?
i tried method using flash button. i tried method of using send button. it does not work for me in nyc area. if anyone can try this to confirm it does work it would be much appreciated.
while on a call i pull up keypad. dial number and press send. i get a notice that new call is on hold. (which is opposite what is implied in the manual) i press flash button and new call disappears. only on original call again... what am i doing wrong?
I tried this once right when I got mine and got similar results as you.
I'll have to try this again, I'm rarely making 3 way calls from my cell.

Hey, I answered this exact question on another thread as far as tethering. I have VZW and these instructions I posted worked perfect. Check here for all the instructions you need to tether using your unlimited data plan.
well.... supposedly it works now. I called tech support. she grabbed 2 cell phones. she called me and we connected. then I dialed the number of her 2nd cell phone. I hit the send button and after she picked up and I heard her voice on the line I hit the send button again. and she said both calls were still connected. hmm... So I guess it does work. although on the phone screen it just says connected. No indication connected to what??
So does that mean nothing was ever disabled on the phone... just that the network didn't support it?
Hello,
Im getting a bit frustrated about this thing.
On my HTC Touch dual running the stock rom there is somekind of speeddail (when you hold 1 on the phone app it calls to the voicemail.
And thats the problem. When our cow milking robot calls. I answer, need to press 1 (to accept the message). But instead of sending the "1" to the milking robot it calls my voicemail and i cant answer the milking robot.
Anyway, is there a way to remove this? Delete is grayed out in the speeddail menu and i cant change the number of it.
Unfortunately this is set by default in almost every modern phone that you can find. I would suggest going into settings, there's an option to enter your own number. On my phone, if I leave this blank, the 1 speed dial won't work. I'm not too sure if this will also be the case on your phone but you can give it a try
on a Samsung Galaxy S.

Has anyone tinkered/used this device... any users from china who have tried using this.. any info would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried to use this with a tmobile-USA sim, the phone chimes as soon as you insert the sim card apparently stating that it is working or so, but none of the operating instructions work...
Let me know..
hi
Anyone...
Anyways, for the guys in US who do get to this post from a search engine, please note that I am thoroughly dis-satisfied with my purchase. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE until we know how to use it. The instructions above don't work and there is no way to debug the device...
As I get time I will open the device and post whatever I find somewhere on this forum. From the looks this is a very good device to drop in the bag/pocket of your 3-10 year old for emergency...
[if any one has the contact information of the manufacturer of the device from China, let us know)

Mine works fine. But you need to disable PIN check on the SIM card for it to work. I found that quite obvious as there are no way to enter a PIN on the tc-200.
Only major disappointment is that it does not have a GPS, as listed where I bought it from. It only uses GSM bases to give a localization. Will probably still use it. Really small, but I would really like to have a similar device with GPS.
