Garbled Operator (Country ID) Output from GetDeviceData.exe

Hey all-
I'm a bit stuck on the first step on upgrading to Tuma's new ROM. I've previously upgraded this device to WM 5 Build 14343. When I run GetDeviceData.exe the output is ok for the Device Code and Language but the Operator (Country ID) is a bunch of high ascii characters... (I would post the output but phpBB won't display it properly and I'm getting a dbase error when adding an attachment). :?
My carrier here in the Bay Area is Cingular.
Do I need the proper Operator code?
Thanks!

Same thing happened to me with my Cingular SX 66. I ended up just giving up.

You just gave up on the upgrade?
I have a few others of these devices in my office, so I might try it on a device that hasn't been upgraded to see what the output was...
I'll let you know if I get a good output from one of these other devices...

Found the solution... just upgrade and it worked!
Operator (Country Code) = AT%CID?
Confirmed Working for Cingular US Service

I had the same error.
I decided to continue anyway and I was able to install TuMa v1.3 with no problems at all
in fact, I don't even understand what this is for...

AKU2.3: GSM connection dropped while making voice calls

I've noticed in several threads that some people (including me) are experiencing dropped connections while making voice calls. Maybe in this thread we can find the cause of this and hopefully also a solution.
Symptoms are that while making a voice call, the call is dropped after a few minutes (mostly somewhere between 2 and 5 minutes). When this happens the GSM connection seems to be lost completely, e.g. the GSM connection indicator in the top bar indicates that it is searching for a network. After a few seconds the GSM connection is re-established again, but the call is lost.
Some possible causes that me and other people are thinking about: Using US radio ROM in Europe, having GPRS applications active, automatic network selection, or having the password screen activated after x minutes of inactivity.
As far as I've seen, most people experiencing this problem are running one of the AKU 2.3 ROM's. I'm running the MrClean AKU 2.3 ROM:
From Settings -> System -> Device Information:
ROM Version 2.24.10.1 WWE
ROM date: 4/17/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
From Settings -> System -> About:
OS 5.1.192 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
I'm using an MDA Vario on the T-Mobile NL network. Running applications include:
ActiveSync over GPRS/PushMail (via mail2web.com)
Agile Messenger over GPRS
Magic Button
Calendar+
I've got automatic network selection enabled, as well as the automatic password lock activating after 5 minutes of inactivity.
When replying, please included the same information as I did and any other information/questions that might be usefull. I'm interested in this information from people that are experiencing the same problem, but also from people that are not experiencing this.
Let's hope we can find a solution for this.

This happens to me as well. I hear a click noise followed by a total reset of the radio. The service search starts anew and within 20 seconds I'm back in business. Pretty irritating for business calls, however.
I am running the O2 2.21.4.1 WWE with a radio ROM of 02.07.10

im having the same problem. running summiters new 2.24 aku 2.3 test2 rom. 3rd party apps running are newspanel, weatherpanel, and agile messeger. we NEED to fix this

same here...

maybe it could have to do something with sleep-mode? Like that the device when going to sleep mode (or just switches off backlight) puts down GSM for a short period? At least I noted, that my screen was dark when it happened...

NO issues at all to report here but if you need me to try or change anything on my phone to test i will

This is just an out-of-the-blue thought, but have any of you with issues tried getting a new SIM?
I had an instance once where a SIM of mine would accept incoming calls but would not make outgoing calls (on any phone). After troubleshooting with the carrier and determining that everything was as it should be on the account the rep finally suggested that I try a new SIM. The theory was that the SIM had been partially damaged somehow (most likely from electric shock by moving it in and out of differnet phones) and couldn't properly authenticate.
Popped over to the store, got a new SIM and all was well.
Now, I'm not saying that getting a new SIM will solve your problem, but it's the only thing that comes to mind. Everyone who's having trouble, are the SIMs you are using older chips?

a 2nd question would be
are you sims unlocked or just CID
i just CID unlocked my phone ..
.. just wondering

new sim card helps
i was having the same issues with my phone dropping calls about every 5 to 10 minutes and i just went to the cingular store with the new rom and all on my phone and told the guy in there that they never gave me a 3g sim with my phone when i bought it and they had just used my old sim and swapped into it and the guy at the cingular store just took my old sim out copied over my numbers for me on his computer and then stuck the new 3g sim in my phone and i haven't had any issues with it since and that was probably 5 days ago or so it has been just great so that might make a difference
it even made it make the toast that summiter programmed this new rom to make perfectly now instead of burning it all the damn time
freakin sim cards always over charging my toast
hahahaha

hmm. plausible. im headed to the cingular store tomorow to see if this will work for me as well. I'll post back tomorow

I'm a little confused on 3g sim's fixing this??? This 8125 isn't 3g ready but is 2.5 edge from all I've read up on. Supposedly the Hermes later this year will be Cingular's 3g PDA. I must be missing something here I guess....

I've experienced this a few times in the last few hours.
I'm currently on Automatic network selection. I'll try changing to manual and see if that helps.
The only program I have running that uses GPRS is PocketWeather, which updates every 15 mins. That could be causing problems. The longest conversation I've had on this AKU2.3 ROM (xelencin's, which I've been running for only 24 hours) is 48 minutes. So if PocketWeather is causing the problem, it's not doing it every time.

i am not expercing this at all. im running aku2.3 (mr.clean) and have 0 problems w/ dropped calls

i am not running any gprs apps tho. and i send alot of MMS but i can talk for hrs without any issue.. just got off a 3.5hr phone call no problem at all.. thank god for my jabra cuz i couldnt hold this 1000000000lb phone upto my ear for 3 1/2 hrs lol

your ears must be bleeding :shock:
I have a totally new SIM in that phone, since I got it with providerchange... now if I only could remember, if I had the same problem with my old O2 SIM that I had in there previously (phone came 3 month earlier than SIM)

I do not have any problem (yet...)!!
I'm running this rom.

well i just checked my phone and i have a pretty blue 3g sim in there as well..
THE PLOT THICKENS ! :wink:
ps you can tell if it is 3g (cingular at least) by taking it out and looking at the back
dave

hm, what exactly is 3G, or, where does the SIM differ? As far as I know, 3G is just a description of services (Videoconferencing?)

I'm not sure what kind of SIM I have; it says T-Mobile on one side, and just some gold connections and a lot of numbers on the other side. Any way to find out? It is quite a new SIM, about 4 months old. I have another prepaid SIM at home that I'll try, but it's T-Mobile as well and I got it only a few weeks earlier.
I've now got GPRS applications disabled, and switched network selection to manual. However, I don't make that many long phone calls, so can't tell yet whether it makes a difference.

is there a way to log the length of a phonecall? In call history it isn't visible...

I have cing 8125, have used various roms. I think that it's pocket weather connecting for an update that is cutting off my phone calls, usually between 3 and 5 minutes. I turned off pw updates and I was still on at 14 minutes. I have posted about this at sbsh forum

ROM 1.16.407.2 German - unbranded P3600 - status - problems

Hi all !
Got my P3600. ROM Version is german ROM 1.16.407.2.
Very nice device !!
Problems until now:
1. Transcend MiniSD 80x not recognized a few times - after 2 days it seems to be ok no more faults with MiniSD Card.
2. Cannot answer GSM calls in mixed GSM/UMTS network - answering 3G calls works fine everytime, answering GSM calls in the same provider network (other location) does not work - software hangs with opened caller bubble.
Hope there will be some ROM Upgrade soon.
Greets,
Gerhard

Somebody claims a similar problem as your one (see Expansys HTC forum). I copy the post here below, since it may be deletet because Expansys is a shop. However, original post can still be seen here:http://www.expansys.it/ft.aspx?i=139981&thread=20

'htc p3600 "unknown sim status" problem'
I just received p3600 from Expansys Greece.
All the functions of the phone are working fine but when I try to use the phone function I constantly get the following messages "unknown sim status" and / or "no signal" and then my phone is freezing. I did try several times to soft as well as hard reset the phone but the problem was not resolved.
I also checked several other sim cards (operating with other phones) with the p3600 and still had the same problem.
I realy don''t know what to do next.
Can the problem be resolved or should I return the product?

I just found out that the phone is working perfect with a vodaphone sim card but it still wont work with my TIM card.
So now I have two choises. 1. I cancel my TIM account and I get a new vodaphone sim card (but I realy don’t like the idea since I have my tel. number unchanged for the past 12 years) or 2. I keep looking why this is happening.
At least I know that there is no damage to the phone.
Let me know about any suggested solutions and why is this happening.
-----------------

your third option is:
there is TIM branded AKU 3.3 Trinity ROM seen on local ftp.
My guess is that TIM branded rom would be compatible to TIM SIM card. There is some simple logic to it

Phone number: Unavailable???!!!

Hi!
I have problems with SMS. When I send SMS to the number which usually sends a message back to me with my credit amount level, nothing happens (with "ordinary" mobile phone it works perfectly fine). Also I do not get Delivery Reports from any number.
But when I put my friend's SIM card (same operator) everything works fine - I get messages back, and I also get delivery reports for messages that I send to other numbers (any other number).
Also, when he put my SIM card in his HP iPAQ 510, it works fine.
Only thing that is different is Call Options > Phone number.
I can not enter my phone number in Settings > Phone > Call Options > Phone number. There is "Unavailable" written in that field and I can't change it. I can't even get that field focused.
When i insert my friend's SIM card, that field shows his number. Same with my SIM card in his phone - number shown.
I think that field might be the reason why SMS is not working the way it should. Maybe that field is used as a number from which the message is sent, and because it is "Unavailable", credit amount service can't send the message back to me. Same with delivery reports.
Do I need to do something with my SIM card to make it work correctly?
Please help!
Phone info:
HTC MTeoR
ROM ver.: 1.34.251.1
Protocol ver.: 32.71.7020.12H
Radio ver.: 1.38.00.10
OS ver.: 5.1.465 (Build 15673.3.3.1)

Just a small update:
When I turn off the phone and then turn it on, I can send the SMS, I get the delivery report, and also I receive a message from "credit amount" service. But, after that first SMS it doesn't work any more. I have to restart the phone again to make it work.
Help still needed...

Solution to problems sending sms

Some modern SIM cards use automatic SMSC, so the SMSC is NOT stored on the sim as delivered from the provider.
HTC Touch Diamond/WM6 can't handle this.
Unfortunately the interface does not allow you to set it (incorrectly reports network error)
Here is a workaround for different OSs, let's start with WP6:
1) Download the nice tool ATcommander from this thread
Url: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2715738
2) Unfold exe to the phone
3) Run the exe on the phone
Enter
AT+CSCA?​Click send, verify that the number is not set or incorrect
Enter (substitute your providers SMSC, +4540390999 is danish TDC)
AT+CSCA="+4540390999",145​Click send
(145 indicattes international number, see se eg http://www.developershome.com/sms/cscaCommand.asp)
4)
Boot it, and enjoy!
ADDENDUM I:
In below posts different syntaxes has been reported as needed for other (early Android) phones. Like:
AT+CSCA="004540390999"​ (no type and country code indicated by 00 not +)
AT+CSCA="40390999"​ (no type, and no country code)
Please try to see what works for the chipset and OS of your phone
ADDENDUM II:
For Androids like the Xperia 2011 phones (at least it works with 2.3.4) you can access the SMSC setting with a build in function.
In the dialer enter
*#*#4636*#*# (4636="INFO")​select "Phone information"
Scroll down to SMSC and click "Refresh"
You will see an entry (including the quotes) like
"+4531300040",145​for 3.dk in Denmark
And you can edit/enter the SMSC as needed and press Update
As you might have noticed, the format is identical to the "AT+CSCA" parameters above, so it is most likely just a nice wrapping.
Best Regards
Eske Rahn
PS this problem has apperantly been around for years, so the problem is most likely WM not HTC.
see e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-242938.html
That describes exactly the same error I got

PPS Keywords, the errormessage:

Thank yo very much it worked for me just fine.
I had a problem with my new Xperia x1 and 3G sim from Saudi Arabia telecom Co.
The problem was unability to send SMS messages while I can receive them and sim cannot read sms network settings as well.
WITH YOUR WORKAROUND SOLUTION, I was able to resolve this trouble so, many thanks again and again.

I have HTC HD and had the same issue. About two months I have looked for solution for this problem.
And finally I got it ... here
Thank You so much eske.rahn !!!

Hi, not sure if this is the correct thread for this so sorry if i'm wrong. Have an SMS problem on my phone which is kinda similar to this. I can't send sms messages!!! They just sit in the outbox.
I have a mda IV which is unlocked and am using an O2 sim on it. Everything works great except that now and then I can't send SMS (texts), can receive them ok but not send. Tried my sim in other phones and works ok. Tried other sims in my phone and they don't work either. Also tried soft/hard reset. Have the correct number in the SMS settings and my phone registers on the network ok.
Anyone help please???????
update: i now haven't been able to send a text for 2 days. I don't get any error messages when i try and send.

Sorry for the late reaction, haven't reviewed this thread for ages...
This does indeed sound like the same problem. Can you see/change your SMSC?
If you already have the correct number entered as SMSC the workaround described will not help. The SMSC is provider dependant. There are many lists 'out there' with SMSC's. So google "SMSC" and your providers name, this should provide you with the correct number.

He he, I too wasted a lot of time searching to no avail, until I remembered that this used to be an issue on my old phones a decade ago.

Thanks for this - worked first try on my Diamond which was OK untill I flashed a new ROM (Natalay 2.100). When I tried to check the message centre number I got the cannot read error. It would read other sim cards and another phone could read my sim card (an Orange 3G sim). I tried changing the radio several times and was about to get a new sim card as it was the only other solution I could find that had worked for other people. I can now read the message centre number OK.

I love XDA comunity!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks it worked

big thanks finally my xperia works as it should

really thanx man it helped .... i've been searching for over 6 month for a way i could change by it the message center

Still doesn't work for me, when i'm on andriod..

it didnt worked for me !!!
I'm from romania ..i own a htc diamond and i just did what you told me to do with AT comannder
it went well until i had to send at+csca = "the number it showed",145
and it gives me an error....
i have tried in so mani ways.. even the => start/settings/phone/band
im finding hard to believe that i can't do anything !
Thank you for your time...and hope that someone comes up with a solucion!

thx for this very useful topic. Solved my problem in seconds...

Just to note that for Android this didn't work for me until I changed the number to remove the + sign and substitute 00. Also removed the ,145 at the end.
So, for example:
AT+CSCA="+31653131313",145
Would become:
AT+CSCA="0031653131313"
Not sure if this is the case in all builds, but it certainly fixed mine. The SMS in WM still works with this change, so no harm done.

thanks you are very helpfull

For Vodafone AU the SMSC was stored on the SIM but in +61... format, I alo had to change it to a local only number using:
AT+CSCA="0415011501"
WM still works and Android now works after that. Hopefully I don't need to go overseas for a while...

Thanks its work, with my HTC Diamond and Indosat simcard,
Thx you....

thanks very much! spent many hours hard resetting, talking to my service provider, etc. this finally works.

hi,
i face similar problems with htc diamond, wm6 & nataly rom. sometimes i do not receive some sms. i dont have a problem in the outgoing messages. only in the incoming. any help ?

Happy
I'm glad to see that it had helped people.
And sorry for the delayed reaction, been out of this forum for a few years...
But yes markzb, the implementation of AT-commands of the 'modem' might vary slightly. Thanks for the input on what syntax other phones accepts *ThumbsUp*. I'm not sure if it is an OS or chipset difference, but I would guess chipset...
