My Diamond (not long for this work as I'm going to kill it soon) is erroring when I try to copy phone contacts to sim card.
Steps covered are
menu -> contacts to sim (wait a week)
ensure all are checked
Save
after a short time it comes up Error, Bad Parameter.
I can transfer some contacts if I select a few but some seem to get this error up and I dont understand why. Cant see any pattern with the numbers, no characters in the number, no odd names compared to the ones that do transfer etc.
Obviously I could do it with active stink but I'd rather not have to go and get a laptop from my mates (apple here )
cheers

may i please you to recover a fckin secret how to get rid of that stupid multiline icon on today screen??? I really really cant find it. thanks a lot.
what multi-line icon?
Picture
Sorry, please find enclosed screen capture... thank you- i cant nothing after searching web, forum and registry in device... probably am blind
Have you got two numbers?
just 1
No i have just one number- this icon appeared immediately after first time phone installation. In phone settings there is a tab for it but i can just choose line 1 or 2, there is no other choice in that tab.
idea
Well i tried to look into SIM manager appl and in tools I can find "list of Own numbers" tool. In that are listed Voice line 1 and 2 and Data. But even if there is an erase option I cant dismiss line 2 (it looks like i can erase just information included in an option
What network are you with?
I would guess that they can disable line 2 with a sim update
Vodafone but device is HTC (not rebranded for vodafone...)
So its either something in the HTC rom... or its your sim thinking it has two lines. If its the latter, I am sure Voda can send it an update to clear the second line.
Just tried the following: went to HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIN\RIL\ALSService and changed the value from 1 to 0. Icon in the upper bar disappeared, but after a soft reset it´s there again.
I do have 2 different lines from my provider, however my second line has never worked on any PPC device.....and doesn´t on the TyTNII either - just showing that annoying symbol....
Sorry, i don't know how to get rid of that but i am searching for ages for the ALS support in WM5 Pocket PC Edition.
My carrier is E-Plus and they don't get it to work to enable the bit on the SIM card for ALS.
So every phone os which supports ALS normally checks the SIM card, thinks ALS is not supported and doesn't show the menu to switch the line.
That is very annoying.
In the smartphone edition you can "force" ALS by manually changing the reg key HKLM\System\State\Phone "MultiLineCapabilites" to "1".
I thought ALS is not supported at all in the Pocket PC edition.
I wonder if just exchanging the TAPI Provider (cell tsp) can do the trick.
Hi,
you were right - I tried that option without effect. Nevertheless thank you 4 help.
Same problem here =( Did you find any solution? Right now i think it is first: possible to find the icon in a dll and remove it, the second: To install Wisbar, though both of those are not very handy.
This thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346431 , might help you figure out what is going on. Good luck.

Ye, thanks, I know the cause, but the problem is, that "1" sign is shown even when only one line is used, but though second is supported. My cell operator does provide this feature, but I do not use it. So thats why it is actually annoying - just consuming space.
Second Line....
try using the # key depressed until line changes and dial out, you'll be shocked u have 2 lines, 2 numbers.... the issue will start when u try to dial ur second number... however u'll probably find you can text to it... it just wont accept incoming calls to it...
htc diamond fully support the multiline facility...
in my x1 im not able to see the name who is calling me, even i saved their number in my phone,
but i guess the problem is the number is saved in both phone memory and sim card,
that means when i go to contacts i see the names repeated one with simcard symbol and other contact symbol.
if this is the problem any one tell me how to use one phone memory or sim memory in contacts.
This could indeed be the cause for your problem. Programs like xperia tweak or sk tools allow you to choose whether to show or not to show sim contacts. You should give it a try.
while in contacts go to the menu button and then filter, it will allow you to choose how you want the contacts to be seen either from the device or sim card.
my problem is +e before country code
how to resolve +e before the number .. m using the same sim in MY p1i there is no "E" but when i placed same sim in X1 it shows "E"
Hey all ...
I just got my WP7 stolen :-(
I tried to use the tools we have with hotmail to locate, close etc our phones.
And you know what ?
I just discovered that they all use text messages to send the commands to your phone with your phone number !!!
And of course if the thief take off your sim card then you are f*cked up.
So I have been digging around to see if there are more serious solutions and found some much better application on Windows Mobile 6 or Android for example that can detect if you change the sim card, send messages, autolock and such ....
Anyone know if that kind of application exist on WP7 ?
Actually I'm wrong ....
Looks like it can also use push messages directly from hotmail to your phone.
By default that's what it tries, but if your phone isnt logued on on the hotmail push service (or something like that) then hotmail ask you for your phone number and try to lock it with a SMS. And of course if the thief changed your SIM it wont works.
But if i get it right, if the thief change the SIM card and turn your phone on with a full internet data access and let your phone log on on your hotmail account then it receive a push message that will lock it.
I'm not sure exactly how it works, specialy now because I have bought another HD2 and Flashed it exactly like my previous one, so on my hotmail account there's 2 phones and I there's some mixed stuff happening ... ( Makes me think of I ll create another temporary account to use my new phone til I give up on trying to lock my stolen one)
I tried to call Microsoft Hotline, talked with a guy for 20 minuts, he tried to get more info on how it is working exactly and called me back the next day but he couldnt get much more detailed explanations ...
I tried to check on the web but I can t get anything else than just the regular documentation saying how to lock or map your phone ...
the problem is that almost anyone could quite easily get around this, unless the thief is a complete numpty there is little that can be done.
There was some fantastic progams on WM that could be built in to the ROM, so short of flashing a new ROM, it would always report home on what ever SIM card was inplace.
With the tools we have, you have probably got a window of abut an hour before it will be reset, airport moded sim removed or reflashed, after than, unless they are stupid, is a gonna. In saying all of that, even the location tool is mostly useless, unless you catch them going home, once they are in the house it uses network triangulation, which depending on where they live could give you 200 houses to check! inshort, the second you know its gone, find a PC and lock and locate it.
Dont forget to get pictures of the IMIE and serial numbers pus any identifiable marks, even finding it is useless unless you can prove its yours.
as for WP7, there is nothing available yet, i doubt there would be anything useful in the near future either.
I know only antitheif which is only work for 6.5.
Can anyone answer this? I don't have a problem right now. I'm just interested in learning how this works.
On my Note, the number shown in Messaging > Settings > Message Centre is +6596197777 which is the correct number for Singapore where I live.
However, the number shown by the code string *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Information > SMSC: > Refresh is "06915669917777".
Why are these two numbers different? Is the second one a different format?
Why I'm Asking
I came across a number of posts on various forums describing problems with sending sms (while still being able to receive) and I had this problem myself for a while.
1. Many posts said that the way to fix this problem was to get into the testing menu with *#*#4636#*#* and input the number in the SMSC: field and hit the "Update" button.
2. However, when I tried entering +6596197777, it returned "Update Error"
3. If I leave the field blank (it's always blank by default), and hit Refresh then
"06915669917777" appears.
4. I was able to send sms messages successfully with this number BUT WITH NO number entered in the Messaging > Settings > Message Centre.
5. I assumed (probably wrongly) that the Message Centre number was embedded on the SIM card when supplied by the telco.
Thanks in advance for any help with how this works.

i had similar problem with miui on my samsung s2, for me helped like this: put another sim card, send sms and than put back that main sim card. Maybe it will help
Hello sacentre,
I had a similar experience with my x10 when i updated to gingerbread 2.3.3. I tried messing with the settings, and after a lot of factory resets and google search, only one thing solved it. I can't guarantee if this will work for you, but here it goes.
1. Go to your local ISP and ask them to replace your SIM with a new one. (the reason behind this is that there might be an issue with old SIM cards, even if they are only a few months old) In most countries they allow you to keep the same number.
2. Power down phone and remove the old SIM card.
3. Power on the phone without the SIM card.
4. Power off phone.
5. Power it on with the new SIM card inserted.
The above did the job for me. If all else fails, factory reset.
Hi, thanks for the replies.
It's one of those things where the picture gradually evolves over time and is far more complicated than I'd thought (no surprise really). It's interesting though. As I said at the start of the thread, I can send sms correctly but I'd like to know more about how the software/firmware works and what these damn numbers mean.
The trick of putting the SIM card into another phone and attempting to enter the Message Centre number there was suggested a couple of times on the forums.
When I took the phone to my telco, that's the first thing they tried after I asked them to check and/or replace the SIM card. This confirmed my assumptions that
1. the number is embedded on the SIM card by the telco when supplied with the mobile contract.
2. the phone reads the number from the SIM card and the number should appear in the SMSC: field in the Testing menu when the Refresh button is hit. This doesn't happen. Even when I tried it the first time, all I was getting was "00" but later the different number as I describe above appeared. It works however but I still want to know why the number is different from the one in the Messaging app.
The staff at my telco had no knowledge of the Testing menu and emphatically claimed it was a third party app I'd installed illegally until I got one of them to key in the code on their own phone and see the menu for themselves!
Neither they nor I noticed that the phone's Messaging app did not have any Message Centre number entered at the time. I was still able to send sms with no number entered.
I learn a little more each day thanks to contributors on these forums. Thanks again.

Greetings,
This is really odd, and DO NOT try what I did if you don't understand it after reading this post, it may damage your phone!!!
Alright, I have two sim cards in use, one is for data only. So I was looking for a more convienient way to enable/disable that slot and the tool I used is called "shortcut maker" from google play.
I find a shortcut under "Settings"-"Settings Activities" named "Mobile networks" with a detailed Class Name reading as "com.android.settings.network.telephony.MobileNetworkActivity"( later on I found a similar one "com.android.settings.Settings$MobileNetworkListActivity").
When I opened it , both of my lines are listed there. This place is not accessable through ordinary system settings menu, so I call it hidden menu.
So I entered one of my line, and saw an option to turn off "Use Sim".
Everything just changed after I touched that switch. when I turn it on again, the other sim goes off, and if I turn the other on again this one goes off automatically and seems that I can only choose one line after then. I tried many times to enable both line together but no luck
Although these two cards appears very normal in original system settings both under "mobile networks" and "sim card manager" except signal icon show forbiden signs (crossed circle).
Further more, the lines can ONLY be brought up from that hidden menu, and if I turn it on or off in "sim card manager" it will not affect at all.
what was worse is that I found both cards are automatically turned off if I power off or reboot the phone. I have to enter the shortcut to enable one before I can use one.
I also tried to reset networks but not working.
I cannot do a full recovery this moment as I will need to move many of my app and data.
I wonder if any of you guys has seen such problem or familar the usage of such activities and maybe with the knowledge of what data has been written to system so that a cure can be developed.
Thanks in advance~
What exactly did you want to do?
In system Settings - Connections - SIM card management you are able to select the preferred SIM card for phone calls, messages and mobile data. See my screenshot (although I have installed only one SIM card ATM).
