Hello everyone.
(I'm hoping I've posted this in the correct forum, it did say general)
Right so, a bit of background. Recently my smart phone unfortunately died on me and I was forced to use an old Nokia (Nokia 100) that I've had for years. I booted this phone up including the old sim that was in it.
Now, what I've found odd is that when I phoned friends on this number so they could save me as a contact, on their phones they could ALREADY tell it was me because my name was coming up below the mobile number on their screen. For example instead of it being normal mobile number on their screens it was displaying the below example
07411 111 111
John Doe
It didn't seem to show up like this on android phones but it always came up as the above on Apple phones.
How is this possible? None of my friends had this number yet my name was still coming up on their phones. I have since researched and found out that the name and number could be referring to a CNAM database, but I have never signed up for one of these as I have no need or knew they even existed........ a little worrying now.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Hi guys
I've done a quick search, came across 'youmail' but don't think I can use that (in the UK on T-Mobile) so was looking for a program that instead of me having to phone my voicemail number and go through listening for 5 minutes to the number repeated etc. which isn't always useful.
Anyone have any suggestions that instead of your phone network intervening, your phone will 'pick up' and they will record a message directly to the phone.
If anyone knows of anything let me know
Cheers
it was up alot a long time agoe
back then 2 things made it impossible
first was that one could not record the user in the other end only oneself when recording
second was that auto pickup in phone settings simply dident do anything
not sure if more recent phones got it working though
Hey everyone,
I am not sure where else to turn at this point but xda... I had an AT&T Tilt that I had modded quite well to my liking, but then I lost it. So I had to revert back to my old Motorola Q9h. There are a few quirks about reverting back to a smartphone from a PPC that are bugging me. Like how I can't find anything like bitpim to back up all my text messages so I can upgrade to 6.1. I have a lot of text messages, some that I need to retain in case some legal dispute happens in the future with my ex. Anyway, that's minor, I can live with 6.0 for now. Threaded messaging would be the only real benefit for me and it's not a must have in this case.
Anyway, on to the reason I am posting. I don't know what happened with my speed dial function but for some reason, my 1 key does not link to my voicemail anymore. I don't have the default voicemail contact that comes with the phone and I don't have a clue what happened to it. I tried creating a new contact with the voicemail number and assigning it to the appropriate speed dial button, but it says 1 and 0 are "Reserved". I have searched numerous forums for some help with this to no avail.
So I decided to try and see if I could figure it out myself (sounds ominous, I know, I know, but I haven't changed anything yet, don't worry ). I sat at work today, bored out of my mind, and decided to just look through the phone to at least pinpoint the location of the speed dial contents in the registry. The only thing I have found that sounds promising is located at:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Dial\Locations\
BUT... I don't read or write in this language. I could also be in the completely wrong location. Any guidance from this point onwards would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more details, please ask.

Hi everyone!
I've been going through this ENTIRE forum, and countless others on top of dozens upon dozens of google searches, and I still haven't found a solution to my SMS timestamp error.
All the solutions offered up by people seem seriously promising, because they seem to help a lot of people, and that is what's kept me hopeful: that someone out there/in here can help me fix this problem.
Basically, I have an unlocked Fido Motorola Q9h, that is being used on the Rogers network. Never delved into flashing my device, cuz I was happy with WM6. Not to mention I'd got it tweaked to a very lovely point
Then a week ago, my phone locked up after I'd put my phone into airplane mode (I'd done this countless times before with no issue), and just would not let me turn the antenna back on. Nothing I tried worked, so of course I eventually caved and did a hard reset. That was when I figured I would give WM6.1 a try, seeing as how my device was gonna be starting from scratch anyway.
I flashed to an unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM, and went ahead with all the registry tweaks to remove all the bloatware. Phone is pretty damn clean if I do say so myself. I've got PHM on there, GPSID, CHome COnfigurator, and that's really about it.
After all that was said and done, and I got my first SMS, I realized the message was timestamped 4 hours behind. Every single SMS from every single contact shows timestamped 4 hours earlier. In the threaded SMS stream, my messages are timestamped correctly, but the other peoples' aren't.
Example:
Me (7:37): Send me a text to see if this timestamp issue's been fixed.
Steph (3:37): Okay =)
The strange thing is that MMS messages come in with the correct timestamp, and that is something that seriously boggles my mind.
Please, please, PLEASE. If anyone out there has some kind of suggestion, I would absolutely love to hear it. Here are the remedies I've tried that have had no effect:
-Installed DST cab from Microsoft.
-"TrustTimeZoneField" w/DWORD value of "0" minus quotations of course
-"TrustTimeZoneField" wDWORD value of "1" to allow the device to trust the provider's time just in case my phone was screwing up.
-"RcvTimeStamp" w/DWORD value of "1"
-tweaked some "NetworkTimeSync" (or something along those lines) entry to a value of "1" instead of its current value of "0," but nothing.
I'm at the end of my rope here guys and girls, so please, anything you can suggest that I haven't already tried would be infinitely appreciated
Thanks in advance everybody
although i dont know the answer ive got a thing for you to try
in the setting section make sure you regional settings are set correctly
Thanks Pilot, will double check those settings. Well, as per your instructions, I've double-checked the settings, and they're correct. Have my locale set as English (Canada), and nothing. Even changed it to English (United States) just to see, but to no avail.
*sigh*
I am almost at my wits end...Is there no one out there with a Q9h running the unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM, that's having the same issue??? Or even better, someone out there who's SOLVED the issue?
I've even called Rogers and they suggested a new SIM card, seeing as how I have the original SIM from Rogers, and I'm waiting on it. I've even tried my sister's SIM which is a new one, but nothing. Figure it HAS to be the ROM
Found a solution to timestamp issue with q9 & wm6.1!!!
Hi everyone!!!
I can't believe I'm actually going to be the person posting the solution to this problem, but I guess it's true that perseverance pays off
This post is in regards to the sms timestamp issue that I've noticed several people are having with the moto q9 once they upgrade to wm6.1 and are on a Canadian service provider.
***This solution involves modifying your device's registry, so if you do not feel comfortable or are unfamiliar with the process, please do not proceed with the modification. I will not be held responsible for any bricked/malfunctioning devices as a result of this tweak***
Use a reg editor (I used the free PHM registry editor), and navigate to:
-HKLM (HKey Local Machine)
-Software
-Motorola
-RilDrv
Now that you're in the RilDrv Folder, there should be a few more folders in here...don't navigate to any specific one, just click the "values" softkey (whatever it may be for your devices), and somewhere in the values that become visible, you should see one that says "LocalizedTimeStamp." Open that value and modify it's value to "0" (without the " " of course)
Reboot your device, wait 10 seconds, cross your fingers and toes, and restart your device. Once your device is fully booted, and seems to be functioning normally, send yourself a text message, and check the received timestamp. It *should* be correct (ie. a minute or two or less in the future of your sent timestamp). To be sure it isn't just for your own texts, ask someone to text you anything, and hopefully the result it yields will be the same.
I have only tested this solution on an unlocked Motorola Q9h from Fido, running the unlocked AT&T WM6.1 ROM on Rogers.
I serached for close to a month with no real viable solution, so I just kept poking and prodding at my registry. Yeah, kinda dangerous I know, but I was at my wits end with this little bug. Finally though, the time and investigation paid off
Hope it goes well for all of you out there who are having the same problem!
Hi,
I've searched for this, but got no-where. Tried searching phone settings too, but no luck.
Summary: My phone thinks it has my old number (07854xxx) not the one I ported to (07736xxx) months ago - is it losing it's memory? . I'm guessing brain surgery might be required - but where do I find the number?
I'd be glad if someone could point me in the right direction.
Here's the detail:
I've recently flashed my ROM with 'Dutty's SENSE 2.1 HG R0 WWE' (which has turned my dull stock block into a smooth responsive machine - I'll be sending some 'appreciation' later on). I don't think that caused this though.
The only software installed since is Yomomedia, found out about it on this site- thanks.
My problem is that Yomomedia uses my mobile/cell phone number to identify itself with the phone. I've installed Yomomedia 3 times now, once after a (unconnected) hard reset (EDIT: I hadn't used Yomomedia before flashing, or noticed the problem). Each time it identifies my handset with it's old number (07854xxxxxx), when I ported a few months ago to the new one. I haven't told Yomomedia about the old number, and the phone has been flashed since I ported. I guess the old number is hidden in persistent memory somewhere.
Where is my phone storing this number? Can I change it?
I can't use Yomomedia to it's best advantage if I can't associate it with my actual phone number, plus once someone else gets the old number, Yomomedia's to be annoying them with text messages...
If anyone can advise, it would be very useful.

Hello everyone. I own an Alcatel Idol 4 6055U. I am not able to find my device as an option to see the forums. I see Idol3, Idol 4s, but not Idol 4. I mean, I see the questions pertaining to the model, but I myself cannot access them. Here's my dilemma. Every Android I've owned over the last 2 years has had issues. The same basic issues, but slightly different for each phone. Yesterday I contacted Alcatel customer support yet again concerning issues with my phone. Issues such as phone calls coming in that don't show up on my call logs. I've answered the calls. No one responds on the other end. My back button continuously skips over letters, causing unnecessary time correcting a word at times. When sms texting, the message I'm typing stops and I have to go back into my message to continue. The curser isn't even in the right spot. It will be in the middle of the message instead of at the end. At times the person's message with whom I'm texting will show up out of the dialog box in different print, in addition to receiving the message as usual. The time is always changing. I don't know much about operating systems. I downloaded a file manager from Google Play and found lots of files marked "SQlite injection", hijacked, UDP connection, and more. I even found wording explaining how "they" will only see something about shared user files bc "they're" not on some list (I can provide a copy). I have reset my phone number numerous times. Same issues.
All this being said, I have good reason to believe I know the hacker who is responsible. This individual lives states away. It would all have to be done remotely.
I don't know what to do. I'm begging someone for help. Thank you for your time.
