[Q] CM7&Brazil:Unable to identify many numbers stored on phonebook? Sense works fine.
Already asked for other reasons on Tattoo-Gingerbread thread, but I'll try here because I would like to gathering more informations with Brazilians users who are still using a Sense Rom.
The default CM7/Gingerbread dialer is horrible and it and other dialers like "Dialer One" aren't able to recognize contacts numbers stored with specific area code. I mean, I have many number stored with the operator code here in Brasil, es: 01551xxxxxx mean I'm calling with ViVo Brazil (015) a number in Porto Alegre, but the number show on the phone when incoming a call is 051xxxxxx, where 051 is the geographic area code of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul.
All the dialers I have tried doesn't manage correctly those numbers but official Sense dialer does without modify format.
I can't change the numbers because I travel a lot trough Brazilian states, and out of the state the area code is mandatory, so I need to back to a Sense rom. Don't know if it's a issue with cm7 only, because it's the first time I use a "No-Sense" rom on Tattoo (wife's phone). I tried also with my Htc legend (before I used a Froyo stock rom) with the same results.
Any feedback from Brazilian user?
Thanks.

Dear members,
I have a kaiser with dutty's WM6.1 which I totally love, however, I am looking for a rom that allows me to edit a dialed number. Say I dial 0815361 , I am looking for a rom that would allow me to simply backspace the 0 and add 016 to dial 016815361.
Simple but driving me nuts. I am visiting a country that requires me to add a prefix to international calls. I just wanna be able to do this without editing every record in my phone book

I don't know if this would be a function of the ROM or the dialer installed, but certainly this would be a good feature, a rather obvious feature, since most cellphones have this capability.

I have never seen any dialer that let you edit numbers in the middle of a string, on any phone. Have you? I'd be interested to know.
Hey there...
today i had the idea to improve my adress book.. but dunno how...
since i got a tmobile germany and landline flatrate..i want to know if the number i'm contacting is for free or need to pay..
there is a possibility to call an number and enter the number you want 2 check and get the network.. but this kind of sucks big times... is there some kind of webservice or programm which can support my intension? and for example add a network prefix to the adressbooks name?
thx in advance
try this.

This is actually not what i am looking for... see for example there is my sisters contact in the adress book ... but how do i know if the number i am calling is for free because of my tmobile flatrate? nowadays you can take your number with you when changing the provider.. some years ago you where at least able to get the provider by the prefix of the mobile number..
now i want something what can tell me the provider to the number

It also doesn't actually work. It goes back to some outdated database before Local Number Portability worked. I put in my cell number, which used to be my landline number, and lo and behold, it still thinks it's owned by a local PacBell CO.
Well then in reality there truly is no way to know with 100% accuracy which provider someone is with. This at least provides some level of accuracy whether outdated or not. For instance, mine shows up as correct. Should I port my number tomorrow, it would be incorrect though. Don't think there is any other way available for regular consumer based searches.
but for example i can send a message with the number to some special tmobile number and it charges me with 19cent and sends the provider back.. infos in german

i can also call a number for free and type in the phone number and it tells me the provider.. but this kind of sucks for all my addressbook entries

Yeah, but the only way to achieve what you're looking for is a direct and almost permanent connection to the database hosted by T-Mobile (
Zentrale Master Routing Datenbank (zMRDB)) in which the number and the provider to which it belongs is stored.
And since the access to this database is not free (not to say pretty expensive) you won't find any solution to this.
CU,
Cactus World
but it says i can use wap for it.. so somehow there must be an service to use, which provides the necessary infomation
MNP / zMRDB / provider finder

Hi adrian,
have you tried this: http://www.mobilfunknetz-finder.de
Would be nice to have something like ProviderFinder (works on iPhone only) for WM or Android.

Hi,
I have assigned speed dial codes to a bunch of mobile numbers. Starting from 2-9. If I press and hold key 5, it doesn't call the number it is assigned to. All other numbers works. All numbers are US numbers with the format 1(xxx) xxx-xxxx, calling them directly via contacts works fine.
Currently my device runs on Pampooh's Windows Mobile® 6.1 Standard CE OS 5.2.20282 Build 20282.1.3.6 (English Only) v1.05b ROM.
I had the same issue even when I was running earlier version of WM6.1 ROM by Erofich.
I remember that it used to work.
I can actually use the key 5 for all other purposes, for instance I can, dial numbers, access address book and type messages as well. So it can't be a hardware issue. I wonder if the cooked ROM's have anything to do with it. I have to mention that I like this ROM very much though, the phone is much more usable now.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have actually posted this question on the Star Trek specific forum earlier and now posting it here. Hope that's OK.
Thanks,

I have an HTC Imagio (CDMA + GSM) running Energy ROM (Sense 2.5 Cookie Home Tab 1.8.5). This does not have the assisted dialer which is available in the stock ROM via Send --> Menu --> Options.
I store all phone numbers using the plus code (+1 for USA, +44 for UK, etc.) since I call numbers in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Using the Assisted Dialing, I should be able to select the country I am currently in and it should replace the '+' with the correct sequence of digits depending on whether it is a local or international call. Is there another dialing app available which I can use to specify which country I am in so that the numbers are dialed correctly?
I am aware of the registry hack mentioned in a "HTC Titan: Mogul, XV6800" --> "Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development" forum thread (unable to post link) to dial from the U.S. but I would like to be able to have the phone dial local and international numbers correctly when I am traveling to other countries too. I plan to use a local SIM card when I need to travel to Europe and Asia for extended durations.
I have posted the same question in the thread mentioned in the previous paragraph but figure it would be more appropriate to post here.
Thanks!
Hi,
This is a great great problem in my country without a solution yet:
Turkish characters are not shown in the recieved SMSs. Instead of them only a space there.
For example:
written by another phone and sent to android: "yoğurt yiyorum şu anda"
the recieved message: "yo urt yiyorum u anda"
The phones which are bought from Turkey and not flashed a custom rom don't have this problem.
They (actually, all the phones those are sold here, in Turkey) have an expression on their boxes: “This device is in accordance with ETSI TS 123.038 V8.0.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) and ETSI TS 123.040 V8.1.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) technical features that include all the Turkish characters.”
I think, the custom ROMs are not in accordance with these standards.
I have two android phones at the moment: a Galaxy Spica i5700 (bought from Turkey), and a Nexus S (which I bought from US).
Spica had the Turkish characters first. But I have rooted and flashed the phone, so lost the characters. Since I don't have the original ROM, I can not get them back...
Until here, I tried to describe the problem.
Now I will give what I have that can help to solve the problem:
1- ETSI links: They are not the exact versions but the closest that I could find.
ETSI TS 123 038 V8.3.0
ETSI TS 123 040 V9.2.0
2- An Original Turkish ROM: it's for Galaxy S i9000
http://www.multiupload.com/ZCLE3EOPWH (it's a PIT file)
It will be a great favor if anyone can solve this problem...
Thanks in advance,
Erkam

I think you are possibly doing this in the wrong area. I think that if you want traction with a change like this, that you would need to do one of three things.
1) Contact maintainers or on the boards of a ROM you like to use (Cyanogen, etc)
2) Try to get it noticed by Google on their official Bug Tracker and Feature Request Tracker for support in stock Android OS
3) Code the fix yourself, Cyanogen source and "AOSP" stock android are available, and introducing character-set capabilities into the messaging app aren't exactly trivial things, however, with time and dedication I am sure it is possible.
I agree that foreign character coding out of stock Android isn't always there, or if it is, it isn't universal across all of the stock applications (like your example of SMS/Messaging application). Does this do this also in GoogleVoice? Or maybe you don't have access to Google Voice since you are outside of the US.
First, I want to thank you a lot for spending your time to answer
I tried your second advice but did not get a solution, yet. Still waiting.
I wanted to try the 3rd one too, actually. But I need to gain more computer/coding skills to achieve that. I could not even find an understandable guide to learn (or maybe I am too noob to understand).
So, the remaining advice is the first one and I am going to take it immediately
As you said, since I am outside of the US, I do not have access to Google Voice, unfortunately.
But, if it is ok for you, I can send a message to your google voice to check it.
by the way, ofcourse, it is not only a problem of Turkey, but also Spain, France etc.. I could not find a solution in their forums, neither.
Thanks again, for your help.
Erkam
