Hello,
I'm with Fido and I've subscribed to their package that includes caller ID (phone and name). The name part of the called ID doesn't work on my tilt, it would just show me the number. I tried dutty's ROM and L26_KaiserDiamond_V9, they both show the same thing. Is there a way to fix that issue?
thank you
just add the name/number into your address book. it will show the name.

yeah, however, names that are not available on my address book wouldn't show... Most of my incoming calls are from people that are not available in my address book...

That's how Caller ID works for Cell phones, Number only. You get the name only if it matches a contact in your phone.

when I put my SIM card into a "fido" phone, it actually puts the name and number of the caller even if it is not in the address book

maybe that is the "name display" feature instead?
yes that's what's called
try to use +1(000)000-0000 format in your address book. As for showing the name, i believe it only happens if you get a call from the same area code as yourself, otherwise you just get hte name of the state the call is coming from or the person's name from your address book.
Just to clarify for you guys.
Name Display is a service offered by Rogers/Fido in Canada.
This service shows the name of the person calling and their phone number, even if they are not in your phone book.
Now....to fix the problem....you can try the Rogers test rom for the Tytn II. That should give you name display, but it's an old build. Or, you can search the forums and see what you find.

can any MODer(s) extract the info needed for name display to work from Rogers or Fido ROM.
There's actually a registry entry. Rogers phones that have it also read name info sent out by the carrier on Fido.
Search:
Rogers "name display" registry
Post back if it worked for Kaiser/Fido.

that registry edit only works for S621, it doesn't work for Kaiser.
So far nobody can figure out how to extract that feature (not a simple registry edit). In kaiser rogers test rom, there's no such registry regarding name display. Yet it shows the name when the phone rings. Our suspicion is that it's encoded in some of the core files.
Hi!
I bought the MDA Vario 4/HTC Touch Pro just today.
Wonderfull machine, but i experience just 1 problem.
When I receive SMS/Text messages, it does not recognize from who the message is coming. When i click on the number who send it, it says that the number is not in my contact list.
I tried several ways, to store the contact in different ways, the country code +31/0031 or just internal without the country code.
Whatever i tried, it just does not help :S
Can anyone help me?

You are absolutly sure that you have the contacts in your contact list? Because it won´t recognize contacts from the SIM card. You will have to copy them from SIM to phone at least in my case.
The numbers in my contact list are all beginning with +316******** and works just fine.

Yep, same here
+316*****, but it does not recognize the names. When i click them, it says This contact is not in your list, would you like to add?
Tried hard reset,soft reset,delete all my contacts,tried set different options in the options menu.
I found 1 way to recognize it, but that is not the standard way:
When i fill in a Name in the "E-Mail" field in the properties of a contact, then it recognizes the sender.. Not any other way

Are your contacts located on your simcard? If so, try to copy them to your phonememory, i remember i had a similar issue with my hermes and that solved the problem.

Add your contact to your Outlook Desktop application and sync your device.

Well, that's the way i do it and it works flawlessly, plus you never loose contacts again.
How about this. When the message of Add this contact pops up, just click yes, and replace that number with the one you already have for your contact, granted that it's the same, it'll detect it.

What field do you have the telephone numbers in?
When a text is recieved, it looks in the Mobile and txt fields within contacts. If the number is stored in Home, or Work, then it won't find them.
At least, that's how mine seems to work.

Its stored in the Mobile section..
i went to T-Mobile, but even the Demo device there doesnt seem to recognise numbers in te SMS section. Maybe an bug on the first Software of T-Mobile?
wouldn't surprise me tbh.
it could also be down to the cli used by the network.
Using schaps, you can play around with the number of characters used for CLI. Dunno how much difference it makes, as i never had to use it for that....t-mobile in the UK seems to work ok. But then, I never use the branded ROMs, cos the networks are notorious for making dodgy stock ROMs even worse....!
I have Found The Sollution
It is an registry bug from the t-mobile software..
It has been found on only the T-Mobile branded Raphael's.
How to fix it:
Install an Registry Editor
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Phone
Here is an D-Word registry called: CallIDMatch, the value on my phone was standing on "12". When you edit the value and set it to 8. All of the problems dissappear.
Don't matter if you have the contact stored as: 00316... / +316.../06...
It recognizes every type of storage of contact.
I Thank everybody here for thinking with me for a sollution!
I think I had found in this forum a thread on howto use the built in msn client of a us phone with a foreign simcard (doesnt work normally because tmobile sends this messages via sms and charges you I think).
I searched now for 30 minutes and I cant find the thread anymore, or the page where the modification was described (it works, I have done it one my phone, then it sends messages via data). Any help from you ? Perhaps someone knows the website ?
Thanks
Hate to break this to you, but the built in MSN client uses WIFI.... or the built in data plan.... there shouldn't be anything regarding SMS I think? I could be totally wrong though....
But I have it working without the SMS function....
Aism
meeker, you are right, the msn client does not use messaging.

It seems that when using a non-T-Mobile SIM card, the built-in MSN client wouldn't work, giving a strange message saying it cannot read the phone number from the SIM card, and refuse to sign in to the server.
I'd love to know if anyone has a solution to this as I sometimes need to use IM over EDGE/GPRS when I am on the road.

@Keyser.Soze
Many many thanks for the link, that was exactly what I tried to find. Again: Thank you !
Happy new year !
I have tried to follow the instructions featured in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-452364.html
However, when I tried to use the command "cat /sdcard/IM.odex > /system/app/IM.odex"
The system will give me an error message: "write : no space left on device"]
I am using the modded RC30 firmware version 1.2 and would appreciate it if anyone can give me some advice on this. Thanks in advance!
KS
Strange, worked here.
did you remove the usb cord as told in the manual ? Dont know if that can be the reason....
I have a tmobile sim card but without the specific g1 data plan..and I have the same issue. Also I don't have a g1 with root permissions but only factory R30 firmware.
So no solutions for me?lol
Thanks Christian
hi
are you guys sure that t-mobile dont use messaging when sending messages in msn messenger?
because i had the unlimited data plan and 400 txt messages before and everytime i use msn messenger i checked online for the txt messages used and i had the exact amount left that i used on msn messenger
but only in msn messenger, yahoo and aol, not on the gtalk app.
so i had to switch to unlimited txt messages .

if you have a g1 plan then it should not be using text messaging, the text messaging MSN messenger program itself hasnt been installed on devices for quite some time.

I found out what the problem was and it was that /system ran out of free space. After re-flashing to the modded RC8 firmware, I had some free space and was able to copy IM.odex to /system/app. However, after rebooting when I tried to launch IM, it will just go back to the desktop after a couple of seconds. I will try to download the modified IM.odex again and see if I had a corrupted one by accident...

@Keyser.Soze:
Any luck installing it? Did you tried with RC8 Jesusfreke v1.3?

I updated to v1.3 today and I noticed that there's more free space in /system. I was able to copy IM.odex to /system/app but after reboot I still get the same result: the IM program won't launch now and will throw me back to the desktop in a second. Don't know what's wrong...
Hmm, i wonder if we can get in contact with the original poster... he didnt really describe how he made/patched IM.odex to make it work. Perhaps its a version problem atm?
MSN does use txt messages just got my bill for 160$ i had the g1 unlimited data plan with 400 txt msgs
should i call t-mobile?
Just tried this myself and its not working for me either.
Currently using JF's RC8 and it just starts to open the IM app then closes and goes back to the home straight away... would really like to get this working.

I'm in Canada, and my Phone has never touched T-mobile's networks.... (SP1 here, Activated by forcing Wifi) That said, I haven't had any problems with it, nor have I had SMS messages being used? That said, I don't have a data plan so I only connect by Wifi..... soooo your experiences may vary?
Meeker
I was having the same issue before and I just tried this fix and it worked perfectly. I have JF mod30 v1.3 installed and now I can log into msn fine.
But there is a reason that people are using rc8 instead of rc30... (because they dont want myfaves $$$)
Did anyone tried this hack on the ADP1?
I am pretty certain that the built in MSN client will work over WiFi, but not over a cellular IP data connection (GPRS, 3G etc).
I'm in the UK and I have an unlocked US device. When connected via WiFi, the MSN client will log in and work correctly, but if I disconnect from the WiFi network it will complain that it cannot read the phone number from my UK sim card.
Therefore, I believe that it designed to use SMS messages when it cannot connect via WiFi so that the operators can derive some revenue from it.

Dave
hello

when i click on the link my option are
PROGRAMS OR CONTACT MAN
and when i click on the acontact person i can add only new one.
how can i add a contact men from my phone book?

If not mistaken you have to have your contacts on the simcard to be able to add them to quicklinks. Use sim manager to copy them over.

Hey guys, what visual voicemail apps are you using? For some reason I can't find any in the market. I don't know if there's a problem because I've rooted my X10 but it's irritating.
Is anyone here able to download any visual voicemail apps? Do I need to apply any sort of market fix or patch? I am in Canada, BTW. Thank you!
What is a visual voice mail?
It's a voicemail app that allows you to instantly access and play your voicemail without dialing the voicemail number and waiting what seems to be forever.
I usually program my voicemail number to include my password but still.. that's the one thing I miss about my iPhone. I'd just click on my voicemail and immediately play it without waiting forever.
Get Google voice. it will do what you want. It will send you SMS or e-mail with transcribed message.

I want something that accesses the voicemail system and actually interacts with it. It's a front-end basically. I live in Canada too so Google Voice isn't an option. Thank you for trying to help though.

Well, in this case it should be something carrier specific i guess.
So, something provided by Rogers, Fido, Bell, etc.
I don't think 3rd party software has access to voicemails but i might be wrong.
How do you include the password or access code to the voicemail number?
I am with Rogers in Ontario, and when I got my x10 and new data plan.....my voice messages automatically come to me via sms. I am not sure how or why.....but they do
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
can't you create a contact which contains the "pause" (long press on # I think) and the passcode then create a shortcut on your home screen to it?

This is what I was talking about. Still though, it takes a good while before it actually goes through and the voicemail waiting indicator drives me insane!
I found a few apps in the market but can't access them. I'm at work. I'll post the names later and hopefully another user can test it out. It was so awesome on the iPhone!
did you ever figure this out? i miss it from my iphone too
