[Q] Save contacts with or without Country Code? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just received my HD7, but I'm confused by a little thing with the phone numbers. When a person calls me, the number is shown as normal, but when they text me the country code is added (+47).
I't seems that if I store the number without the country code the contact is shown correctly when they call, but not when they text. And vice versa.
Anyone else had this problem? or is it "a Norwegian thing" ?

exactly the same problem here with Touch Pro 2 and wm6.1

Yup, same problem here.. I really hope they'll fix this, since I have to add two numbers to each contact (the same number with and without the country code). And yes, I'm also from Norway. Weird...

Works fine in Sweden no matter what the number is stored as (ie +46xxx, 0046xxx or just plain xxx).

By dieb2810:
Install .Net 3.5, Install Advance config, under Phone Settings set the number recognition to 8 instead of 11. That fixes it.
By InF3Rn0:
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.

Note: I think 8 should be the lenght of the phone numbers without country code. contact should be saved without country code.
This worked with me

is that a computer program or phone? Since we don't have Marketplace in Norway yet

Got a mail from HTC.
Ruffly translated:
We are aware of the problem, and we are in dialog with Microsoft to find a solution to the problem.
Hopefully there will be released an update to solve this problem asap.​

Yay, thanks for asking HTC, thomassan. Looking forward to their update. ^^

howto change operator name

Recently my mobile operater (YU Mobtel) is been sold to Norway's Telenor, and the operator name is changed too, but not on my Qtec 9100, where still displays "MOBTEL". Why's so, and is there any way to change it?
There is this new hacks... PPC6800Hacks... it has the options to edit and change the operator's name. Works on my DOPOD838Pro. Hope it works for you.
You can try the trial version of Tweaks2k2, only change the operator name, dont try to tweak other settings, might not work on WM6

When I google that, all it returns is this thread. Do you have the name of the app wrong?
Use PHM Registry editor
Browse to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames
Create an new String key with your operator # and set the name you want

Orbit 2 SMS Delivery Reports

Is it just me or can you not activate delivery reports for sms on the Orbit 2 on O2 UK network?
try schapps advanced config tool
There are two parts to this....
1) You CAN enable delivery reports on the O2 version of the TC, using a reg hack or cab file.
2) However, it won't work on O2, as the network doesn't do delivery reports the standard way. The only way to have a delivery report is to enter a code at the beginning of every sms. (I think it's #0#)

You're probably right, I've never tried it.
Such a shame that a network as big and as established as O2 (or Cellnet as it was), doesn't have such a basic feature, that was one of the first in GSM.
Very True!
Multi Billion Pound cellphone company cant get a simple thing like sms delivery correct. Its very pathetic!
I hope Vodafone UK come to their senses and add the touch cruise to their line, having the kaiser just isnt enough of a choice.
works perfect on my Orbit 2
I have Orbit 2 in O2 and have no problem with delivery report.I just used that simple cab and problem solved.Hope it will works for you
why dont u use the build in function?
Hi there!
I always use this function, on every cell phone, and on the o2 xda orbit 2 its the same, as on every xda i had before.
Open Messaging, when you got the overview(SMS/MMS ; Outlook E-Mail etc), hit the Menu Button, hit Options.
Now you can see a list of your accounts, where u can point on sms/mms.
In the next dialogue there is a checkbox "übermittlung von Nachrichten bestätigen" ( confirm the delivery of messages ... my translation, got a german wm6). Works well for me, never had to mess with any registry keys.
I Hope I could help!
Greetings from Germany.

Problem is that this checkbox was only in Orbit. In Orbit 2 UK only thing u can do is changing MMS options not SMS.Or maybe I`m blind and I couldn`t see it
Anyway I checked four times and there is no "Delivery" option in my Orbit 2.Only option is "Use Unicode when necessary" and I`m sure that is not the one we need.
Regards
yups, I agree..THe delivery report option is only for MMS and nowhere for SMS
Do anyone has a clue on this ?

I've just taken possession of an Orbit 2 unlocked and on Vodafone (albeit that is not relevant). I had same problem with SMS text delivery reports i.e they were NOT happening. I followed information at: htcwiki.wetpaint.com/page/Advanced+Configuration exactly to the letter and it all worked fine. Once the Advanced Config program is installed you can select the "messaging" configuration section and amend the settings for enabling "Delivery Reports". Works finefor me plus the Config program is a boon! You have to register on the initial download website but it's free and also useful as a good-to-know site. Hope this helps others.

WM6.5 and Avaya as dialler

Hi,
I am new on this portal but I read a lot in the last days and was very surprised of the solutions you find and also the apps you made working. Great
I know its not looking very good to ask as newbie for help but I hope you can help me... I am searching for more than a week for a solution and tried even to edit the registry but unfortunately I am not good enough to find the solution
So what do I want do to?
I have a HD2 (branding free) and I want to install Avaya One-X mobile.
Well the installation was succesfull and I also get it running inside my company and also the private modus. But since I have it installed I hear no ringtone. It always plays an "ding" and thats all.
So right now I always have to keep my eyes on my mobile to see if someone calls me or not.
And the second problem is that I also get no caller picture displayed..
But as soon as I deinstall the one-x everything is working (phone rings and caller picture is displayed)????
So you are my last hope to find a solution. Please can you help me?
If you need any further infos please let me know
Thanks
Frank
oh... the one-x mobile software is free for download on the avaya webiste
I can post you the link later (I am not allowed to post it right now...)
i'm getting mad with it...
Now I am a step further.. I now that the software deactivates the onboard call handler. I think it is only a registry setting to reenable it. after done the caller name+picture should be displayed and even the call-slider should be back.
Does someone have an idea where I can find the entry?
well now I know exactly the differents between the registry with one-x installed vs without. But I have no experiences in reading/interpreting my results.
Is a Dword something which can be used as name? or is it only a value?
Does someone has a guide for beginners please?
Did you contact Avaya support for assistance?
I have recently taken over all our telecoms at the office (avaya system)
Saw your post on One-x and been reading a little on it. Where did you get the install files from and did you get it working in the end?
I have a support contact with a company called central so I can contact them for free advice if needed
is this the version you are using?
http://support.avaya.com/css/appman...loads/P0438/5.2.x/C201012083328498084#summary
I'll take a look at what the installer does as I've not heard of it before but it's not letting me register to download it .
yep that's the software I am trying to download
Could not create an account either
I have emailed my support company and they will be sending the software to me on a disc.
thanks for your responses.
I installed the version for pocketpc WM6 (not the UC version) and yes it is working fine
But:
The problem I have is that since I have it installed it
- my mobile does not play a ringtone any more
- "slide to answer" and "show caller name+picture" is away
When I get the disc tomorrow ill post up the results.
This app will be very helpful if i get it working
As for the no ringtone issue I am not sure.
I would attach it... but i have no permissions...
@ fards: there are two versions. one for "Windows mobile 5"and the other one for "Windows mobile pocket pc" (here you can find it for WM6). the first is a UC versions. For this you need an internet connection and a uc-server running in your company. the other one is for normal mobile use. it calls via the phone connection the server and then your call is managed by the server.
support.avaya.com/css/appmanager/public/support/Downloads/P0483/C20090710162819340875658#files
you can find it here for free and you need no login
I do not see the HD2 listed as compatible device.
Did you get it working or still having problems?
How does the Avaya interface on the mobile phone look like?
Is it replacing the WM dialer completly or only while Avaya software is running in the background?
I have just installed it onto my HD2. The install hung at the end for about 20 mins. Reset device and the software has replaced my dialer. Appears to be working but im reading on how to configure the ini file now.
Tested on personal mode and call connected fine.
it replaces the dialer completly...
for the ini file you need the settings of your ACM. here you have to enter different extensions for each function...
you also has to to enter your mobile number in the ACM. Because your are identified via your number.
But can you test if you get a ringtone for incoming calls? thats my problem. I get no
Just to draw a conclusion to this This topic. This solution does not work correctly on HD2. Unless someone has managed to do this and has not shared?
sry... I was offline for a while... Does somesone find the solution?
No i gave up in the end..... bloody crap

Owner Information Missing wm6.5

First let me say I have tried the registry edit fix and it did not work. I simply do not have have nor does it show owner information in the today, items tab. I have soft reset after each change and no icon nor any entry. I also dont have a "me" entry in my contacts. I have some third party software I have purchased and now they have defaulted to trial versions because I can't input any owner information. This is a real problem for me and I would greatly appreciate any and all knowledge in this problem. I have a sprint HTC touch pro 2 that was upraded from 6.1 to 6.5.
Owner information..
Took me a little time to find it.......Programs/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Personal/Owner Information .....
Use the one from Sense...under sense settings tab. If you insist!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268138&postcount=3
Read the above post, and it has owner info. You need to remove the redirect key using one of the registry editors, and soft reset.

I have G-alarm, the best and highly customizable alarm program for wm6.x devices, and it requires owners info for activation after the trial period. Because I have a Sprint Touch Pro2 that I upgraded to wm6.5, the owner's info was missing in my phone too. So I contacted Ageye, the developer of G-alarm, and he gave me a website that he made to correct this problem in different ways. My favorite way is to do the following:
Use a registry editor (e.g. the free "PHM Registry Editor") and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner. You should find a key called "Hide". Please change its value from "1" to "0" and restart your device. Now you should be able to find the owner settings.
Ageye has other simple alternatives that you can read about by going to his link. Good luck with yours.

Ok look man. You might need to master reset if you have did this & that. Cause you could have did something you don't know. Your human right? Use Resco Explorer new one on website installs all tools. Go to Registry HKLM/ControlPanel/Owner, change Hide from 1 to 0, Reboot. Go to settings personal it's right their. later.........

[Q] caller ID matching to contacts - please help

Hello,
New to the forum, hello and thanks to all!
I'm Running a Captivate with Cyanogen Mod 7.1
and I am seeing that the incoming caller ID number has to exactly match the phone number stored in the contact (all digits) for the contact matching to work correctly (for received calls and SMS)
I would like to limit the matching to 8 digits, like many traditional cell phones out there. The problem is that in my country in some situations I need to dial the numbers differently from what the network reports for incoming calls.
With ES File Explorer , I modified the /system/build.prop file , adding the line “ro.phone.min_match=8” but it still does not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160343
The file was modified successfully, the change is still there, but it does not work. Maybe I have to do it differently, with the adb tool but I really don´t know how. Or maybe it will not work with Cyanogen??
Could anybody please give me some guidance on how to do this ?
Thank you very much!
Gonzalo
Ok, after some investigation of the source code:
This does not work with Cyanogen Mod. It has a completely different caller id-to contact code, so that method will not work.
Gonza
Well, does anybody know how to change that behavior?
Since the Nokia S40 days, I'm used to see caller ID matched to the 8 last digits of my contacts. And this has been a major annoyance on CM7 to me, to the point I'm nearly compiling AOSP to extract the original app...
Did anybody discovered how to solve this issue? any progress?
This is the only annoyance I have with CM7.
Thanks,
Marcelo
same for me! any solution?
Unfortunately there is no solution to this.
My brother and I , we looked at the source code, and after a couple of hours of searching we found the routines. Its easy to modify, but then you need to build everything again from scratch.
I dont know how to do that but my brother does, so he tried to do it for me but it took ages to download all the code, and the donwloads were interrrupted etc etc.
End of the story, he could not do it. It can be modified, but somebody hast to do it ...
Gonza
