Hi, Sorry if ther eis already info on this, i have been searching but haven't found anything.
I jsut changed to the resently released HTC WM6.1 ROM on my Orange TyTN iI. everything is working great, but for some reason i get the orange servce numbers (answerphone, text center etc) appear in my contact list.
I've tried updating the SIM manager application but doesnt seem to have fixed the issue.
Thanks,
stupid question, but alot of factory ROM's add those numbers to your contacts, Have you deleted them from your contacts? Thats all you need to do.
Those numbers can't be deleted as the delete button is greyed out and they don't exist in the sim manager program, you can just hide them using the kaiser tweak tool
Thanks, i'll try that out.
I don't really think it's a stupid question though, as said above, the "delete" option is grayed out. As i said in my original post the nubers are the service numbers stored on the SIM. I don't really appreciate such unhelpful replies.
funny must be a SIM thing cause I can delete them whey they come up on certain ROM's into my phone contacts. I had them on my SIM at one time and they are deleted.
**HAHAHAHA, no sorry i meant me, my question, i thought i was readin it wrong. i see now how it can be misunderstood. my bad**
**Did you go into the Sim Manager, Menu, Tools, and go to Service Dialing Numbers... and try deleting from there?**
I did try using the SIM mangaer but it doesn't give te option to delete the service dialing numbers. It's quite strange, but have managed to hide them with the tweak tool.
yea as i said its probably built into the sim. I guess if they are going to start pulling that shiz then i will have to make sure to keep my sim card. if i can help it i never let them swap out my sim card. usually those little bastards will do it without saying anything anymore.

I'm using the latest version of Slide2Unlock found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
Tried asking my question there, but no responses so far so I thought I'd ask in the Kaiser specific forum.
Everything seems to be working fine except when I get a call from someone in my contacts, it displays only the Number instead of their name. Anyone know how to fix this to get their name to be displayed instead?
Thanks.
I had that same problem before and it was because my contact list was from my SIM card and not the phone's memory. I had to move all my SIM contacts to the phone memory and it was fixed. Hope that fixes your problem..
i am quite sure if you open the slide to unlock settings there is an option for how you want the contact to be displayed.

There is something to display how the number is displayed ie. (###) ###-#### or ###-###-###
I haven't come across anything that says whether or not to display the name of the contact. If you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

That could be the problem. All of my contacts are on my SIM card as I just got the phone about a week ago and haven't transferred them over yet. I'll see if that makes a difference. Thanks.
yeah, my contact names show up..... i am using S2U2 1.00 w/o any issues

Are your contacts from your SIM card or stored on your phone?
there is an option to 'enable caller id' this puts the contact picture on screen
Slide2Unlock which Ver????
I,m a noob and I read so much. But which version works 100% in a ATT Tilt with out a cooked ROM. I really like to know
Has anyone managed to stop SMS from working? Something I've tweaked or installed is preventing me from sending messages - when I tap the SMS option nothing at all happens. I don't seem to be able to receive them either. With all the fiddling (Kaiser Tweak, GPRS Monitor, SBP etc) who knows what I've done. Just hoping someone else may have stumbled over the same problem before I have to reset everything back to original (It's the only fault).
Thanks
Are you able to compose an SMS at all?
Have you verified that your Text Message Service Center number is not blank?
Please provide more information. Phone, ROM, Carrier, etc...
Thanks for the interest,
I'm using WM6 standard ROM 1.82.707.0.WWE (ie not cooked) on the Tytn2, the service centre number is there and is correct according to the carrier (Telstra Australia).
It used to work fine so I'm assuming that I've tweaked something I should have left alone, or one of these installs has jammed it up - just no idea what!
If I pull up a contact and tap the 'Send Text Message' option nothing at all happens, just sits there looking at me! I don't seem to be able to receive texts either.
Installed are the standard apps plus Google Maps, GPRS Monitor, Kaiser Tweak, Resco File Explorer, TomTom, SPB mobile Shell and Diary, QuickMenu.
I know it's a tricky one to fix from a distance (so many settings, so little patience) but any thoughts would be appreciated.
I had the same problem a few months ago and tried everything. Defaulted my tweaks and adv config etc. Eventually I had to reinstall my rom which is a cooked rom and all came back and have not had any problems since then. Hpefully you do not have to do this. You should try a cooked rom.
Ok I want to take a shot at this.....
Ok Does Telstra have the ability to send SMS to mobiles from their website? If so try sending one to yourself.
Next. Go into Messaging, Menu -> New -> SMS. Type in your mobile and Send.
Oh and Uninstall The SPB product Soft Reset and try again.
Let me know If that works.
Can't find a way to send sms from telstra (easily) so tried from another mobile. The other mobile says it can't send the message. I'm (almost) sure this is my phone rejecting it rather than a network of other phone's fault.
When I tap on Messaging in the menu nothing happens - doesn't take me anywhere at all. Same thing if I tap on 'send text message' option in contacts.
Removed the spb stuff, did a soft reset, still no go.
Keep the thoughts coming though. In the end it would probably be easier and quicker just to hard reset now, but it's the challenge of figuring it out that's interesting isn't it? It's going to be one of those dead simple slap your forehead things I reckon.
Thanks for all the help so far.
Have you tried reinstalling the Arcsoft SMS/MMS client? There are many different versions floating around XDA.
OK it's fixed. Here's what I did:
Discovered that the 'Messaging' menu item in the start menu pointed to a file called tmail.exe
Used file explorer to navigate to tmail and ran it directly
Fell over laughing when it actually ran
From that time on it works via any link, such as the start menu and contacts option to SMS
I have no idea what that's all about but I'm really happy to have it back - although I haven't tested sending and receiving texts yet
Interestingly a very similar thing happened to Mortscript - I have a script that rotates the screen and runs TomTom (not mine, found on xda-dev) and it wouldn't work either after all this fiddling until I ran it directly rather than through any links. Now it works fine too.
If anyone knows /why/ it happened I'd be interested.
Thanks for all the support. Really great knowing there's such a community around.
Alrighty then, spoke too soon. Now it works when the sd card is out, but not when it's in. Same old problem, tap on messaging and nothing. With the card out of the slot, messaging appears. What the heck is this?! Could it be something to do with where messages are stored? I'm also getting this storagecard2 problem each time I take the card in and out which is easy enough to fix but could be contributing I suppose. Any more ideas?
Edit: I repaired the storagecard2 directory issue, cleaned up all the references to storagecard2 in the registry (about 4), unticked the option to use the card to store attachments, and it seems to work. I've also re-synched and re-installed spb mobileshell. Last time it seemed to fail at that last step but this time is still working. Even after a final soft reset. I haven't reinstalled spb diary.
Has me stumped but works again now. Sorry to bore you all with this but someone may have a simple answer and the ordeal might help someone else I hope.
Based on all of these issues, I would definitely suggest re-flashing your current ROM again (not just a hard reset), and do a full format of your SD card outside of the phone. It sounds like you've got some major corruption going on...

Yes delete the storage card directory, if it gets corrupt the unit won't send or receive SMS.
Speaking from experience here
Thanks guys,
I've re-done the storage card and all is still working ok. I'm reluctant to reflash while it's working so I'll wait to see how long it keeps up.
Thanks again.
Hi,
First off, thank you for a really information rich and professional forum!
To my problem, I have the HTC Touch Diamond and I recently changed ROM to dutty's. By mistake I deleted all contacts in my phone book, unfortunately all my SIM contacts were deleted as well. I understand that it might be impossible to restore them since they were stored physically on a SIM card but I have seen some people in this forum manage to do things with this phone that I did'nt think were possible so I thought that I'll give you guys a try.
Is there a way to undo the deleting or am I screwed?
well though i can`t help you i`d like to give you an advice. didn`t you read in flashing manual BACKUP before flashing ? always backup backup backup unless you don`t store your contacts on Exchange server
Oh the problem did not occur after or during flashing, I just wanted you to know which ROM I am using. I could have done this with the stock ROM as well..
I just wanted to know if the diamond was that advanced that it stored all my deleted elements in the memory until I restart it.
Did your contacts really get deleted?
Dutty usually disables the display of SIM contacts (as do other cooks).
They might still be there, you just might not be seeing them.
^.^
check the sim manager
they maybe there...hiding!
i have flashed 100's rom and they have never touched the sim cards
Hehe as I said in my previous post it has nothing to do with the ROM-flashing. When I enter the SIM Manager it is empty and when I look at the properties of my SIM card it is totally empty, no entries, blank.. ****ed in other words
I dont count on solving this problem as the contacts are physically deleted but it would be really cool if the phone had it stored in the memory somewhere..

your old phone still don't have a contacts list i take it?
I dont understand what you mean with "old phone" but I take it as you wonder if I have my contacts on the phone I used before the Diamond. I still do have some contacts on that one but not all unfortunately. Well seems like the only thing I can do is adding the contacts manually when I receive calls from my friends :\
Thank you anyway for your time!
Does any one know of a program that will do the following...........
-If you leave your phone somewhere and the phone is not locked or you just forgot to lock it.......You can call a certain number to lock the phone for you.
-it might sound dumb, but that would be a neat program
Update:
This program really works......... Thanks to hbatra!

Thank You I will try these and let you know how they work

Take a look at SpriteTerminator (http://www.spritesoftware.com/?page_id=280).
Not freeware - but not only does it allow you to lock your phone, it also allows you to track it, erase the contents, disallow the changing of the SIM etc. etc.

That is one of the hottest programs I have saw so for. If you are a business person, someone who just forgets there phone all the time or even if you just lost your phone..............You can use this program , so that you can txt yourself to lock, unlock or even erase everything out of your phone and alot more from just txting your phone. Thanks again hbatra
all the nokia E-Series come with this functionality built in.
it definitely is a cool option for when you lose your phone.

this "eye on thief" doing the same. I thought it'll be obvious from name..
I am running it on my phone as for protection.
What's specially cool about this one, is that it's just 1 exe, no install, very tiny and simple. u can burn it in ROM. This way it's hard to notice and disable by thief.
Also it's free with sort of limitations, but still usable.
in help you'll find list of comands. I just tried poweroff and reset.
poweroff switched only to stand-by but reset worked OK. on wm6.1
and no incomming sms showed up.
eeh, be carefull by testing.. I forgot about having it and after inserting new prepaid SIM, I find out my credit's gone with no sign of SMSs being send out.
ok, but as this thread is about forgotten phone, besides reset and not working power off, there are commands to forward calls and SMSs so maybe this is what you've been after? if you'll give it a try, let us know if it coculd be used this way.

I tried that one, and followed the commands but could not get it to work. Maybe you have to have a certain model (phone) for it to work. I have the ATT Tilt and I could install it but the commands would not work. But I did try it, and yes it is a very small app.

sms has to be it format: passreset
where pass is your remote password
and have you set up both password, added your sim and turned autorun on?
I love throttlelock it automatically locks the phone when it goes to sleep so no need to worry about if you locked it or not and to unlock the phone you simply slide your finger over a preset pattern. Very simple but very effective.

Yes I tried that as well, I even downloaded the pdf file with the step by step instuctions and it just does not work. That is why I said maybe it is the type of phone that I have, because the Sprite Termintor works perfect and they both use the sms commands to shut off, lock or what ever you what to do.
What type of phone you have.
i've got tytnII, T-mobile device but ROM by orange UK.
this app was working perfect on all my prev phones. trinity, rwo artemis. another tytn II unbranded. and different ROMs.
no idea then..
It beeps after every phone start, signaling that it's running ok.
I have it in windows folder, link in StartUp was created automatically with -startup parameter - "\windows\lockapppen.exe" -startup
I just set both passwords (used the same)
have check-on on first 4 boxes
have added my two SIMs
added both 2 numbers in SMS list.. ..maybe this could be problem. maybe it only accepts requests from numbers on SMS list. but that would not be too practical.
after sending sms with "passreset" (say "pass" is my password) it didn't show this message and replied back that command was processed.
was running this on wm6 and 6.1 too. no more ideas, sorry
So I loaded a new rom (energyrom3.0) running WM 6.5.
and when i did my restore for all my contacts etc using pimbackup, i see my contacts list just fine. but when someone calls, i just see their number no name or anything!!
i restored again and still no caller id....
I did a search and im not finding any info on this.
can someone tell me what Im doing wrong??
(htc fuze running energy rom 3.0)
it sucks not knowing whos calling or texting me, now I have gotten into the habit of not answering my phone because of this issue...
I cant memorize all my contacts !
Thanks for any help
anyone seen this?
its probably some setting that I have not seen...
yep - im getting the same problem and raised a
separate thread - lots of views but no replies
i think its a wm6.5 issue.
im on energy rom - which is superb so far - but the callerid and sms id is causing me problems so i may have to revert to an older rom
I can't say that I've experienced this. (Running RRE's rom though) Have you tried install slide to unlock just for the full screen caller id that it has? (you can disable the actual locking part if you dont want it). Also, what dialer are you using?
I used active sync and outlook for my syncing and backing up my contacts and it all worked fine with nrg 3.0.
yea i have a buddy that uses outlook sync to restore.
how do i use that?
im using the stock dialer.
try s2u2 you say?
i ahve had it in the past, i will install that and see how it works. just so many dam options when setting it up. can be a bit time consuming...
thanks for the replies peeps
where are your contact pictures located? In the past, if you stored them on the Storage Card, then it could also cause a delay/issue. Just a thought for something to try.
yep - i also used pimbackup - and energy 3.0 - and im having the same problem.
wonder if its to do with the backup/restore rather than syncing

I think you should just memorize all of your names and numbers. Think how much more that would impress your friends than a fancy phone...
Try ActiveSync on the PC. If you are on Vista, you will need Windows Mobile Device Center, which unbeleivably does not auto-install with a new OS image. You can find it on Microsoft website for free, the same for ActiveSync if you are on XP. However, to use Activesync, you really need Outlook to get much value out of it. The huge upside is that if you use Outlook and ActiveSync, you will have a copy of all your contacts in 2 different physical locations.

is this happening to anyone else??
i have fixed this - somehow ?!
removed icontact - and deleted the icontact 'contacts file'
did a new PIM backup - hard reset
when i looked at the texts they still had numbers not names, however i spotted that i had over 500 texts !!! cleared the lot of them out and everything working fine. callerID and text recognition perfect ....
Whether it was PIM backup, icontact or sheer volume of texts i dont know but what I can say is that its NOT the ROM.
im a happy bunny now
I am having the same problem, curently running At0mAng V5.1 WWE with WM 6.1. I did use PIM backup to restore, but to try to fix this problem I erased all of my contacts and restored them with Activesync. No luck, I suppose I should try a hard reset.

Yes really,.... If you hit the pwr button to off then back on, the callerID will be displayed. It's like a refresh of the lock screen. As for Energy Rom, I've been using Da_G's kitchen to cook since 21169 till 21222 and CallerID hasn't worked on the lock screen unless I do the pwr button trick.
I however have been using Exchange 2007 to sync my contacts in all versions though. Maybe it's something with that? I don't know...hopefully it will get resolved though.
Same prob here, I can tell u how to fix it..
Ive had the exact same problem with my stock Fuze. I checked HTC and even called them. Tried for nearly 3 hours on ATT talking with tech support. Yet these ppl only know whats written in their books. We, the ones that actually tweak and figure out the "bugs" in certain systems r the ones that know the answers. Thats why I love this site! .... sorry, got carried away. ... OK, ur most likely using the Advanced Config 3.3, if so, thats where the problem lies. If u go down to the "Phone" tweak inside of Advanced Config and set the "purge SIM contact when no SIM" Set this to YES. Now it DOES NOT delete the contacts as it says it should when u remove the SIM card and reboot. Instead it cuts off the NAME of ur caller ID yet still shows the number. Ive done about 12 master resets tryin to find the exact reason I kept losin my Caller ID name. This IS why. Though I have a different ROM, this just may be a bug that affects the entire system of any fone. Now my Caller ID works fine. When I install Advanced Config 3.3 and tweak it, the only things I change under the "Phone" catagory are Clean Period, cuz I like having all my calls in the dialer, and number of ID matches. Also when u install HD Tweak or Diamond Tweak do not set the ring to "Instant Ring". This will also cut the name of the Caller off. Yet u can change the "Ring Delay" to WITHOUT DELAY. This will solve the delay problem as well as the Caller ID disappearing act. I actually found that under another thread here. Both tweaks r set and my Caller ID has yet to cut off again. I may be wrong, yet it never hurts to try right? Good luck, hope this helps!
hi there,
also in advanced config is an option to use x digits as id.
i had the issue of it not recognnising contacts between 0 numbers and +44 numbers.
so i set this valuie to 10 digits then it doesnt matter about the zero or +44.
worth a shot.

Mine was set to Yes by default, should I set it to no? How about show Sim contacts in contacts? Very interesting though...
The only thing I save with PIM backup are my phone calls and messages. Therefore, I rely on Outlook to sync the remaining data such as contacts and appointments and I never have issues with any rom from any device using this method.
