Dear friends, i hope someone out there can help with my tilt issues:
1: I own a nokia 6680 and recently bought a tilt, transferring my contacts is a nightmare and i only transfered a few, the problem is i have around 400 contacts with about 300 having more than one mobile number when i sent them to my tilt using outlook and activesync or sending them directly from my nokia to my tilt only one mobile number is copied is there a fix for this or a program that can transfer my phone book?
2:I live in the middle east and i when i try to recharge my phone credit i can't, i get a message box with "Phone" in the title and the word "failed", the way i recharge credit is by typing *122*XXXXXXXXXXXXX# where X is a 13 digit code and then send, but when i press send i get that error instantly. The only way i can recharge is if i call 122 and talk with a machine and enter my code. I have an ATT Tilt with original ROM without ATT bloatware, My ROM 1.57.502.2, My Radio 1.27.12.11
3: When the phone is in standby it won't accept bluetooth connections even when the bluetooth light is blinking and it won't wake up from standby when i try to send something to it by bluetooth, also it doesn't ring or vibrate when in sleep mode when i receive an sms even though it is enabled to ring and vibrate when a new sms is received.
I hope someone can help with these problems.
My ROM: 1.57.502.2
My Radio: 1.27.12.11
ATT Windows Mobile 6 without bloatware
1. When you sync the nokia to outlook does outlook show more then one number? If not then I think you need to do some google searching in regards to that phone or outlook. If it does copy them over with the extra numbers but won't sync them to the tilt properly I would try outlooks helpfile to see if there is a reason for this. Maybe even try another computer with one contact that has several phone numbers.
No it doesn't show them, I know the reason it's because in my nokia phone when i create a contact the label for his mobile number is "Mobile" when i add new numbers to the same contact I change the label to a custom label so instead of adding his new mobile phone with the label "Mobile" i change it to "Mobile New" or something like that, for some reason outlook or the tilt for that matter can't read custom labels they can only read what they have built in:"Work tel", "Work2 tel", ...etc
So they don't know what to do with the other numbers
export it from the nokia as a .CVS file (I think thats what it's called) and then import to outlook.
sounds like you have work ahead of you.
It's called CSV (coma seperated value) it's a xcel spread sheet format.
As for the phone not waking up, that is probablt because of a well known sleep bug. Either upgrade to the newer AT&T rom, upgrade to one of the better ROM's here, or get KaiserTweak & use the device Wakeup fix.
The problem has been that the Kaiser does not dial local numbers with the + sign in front. The problem occurs with prepaid Rogers service in Canada only and probably occurs to all Kaisers (2 for sure). In fact Rogers and Fido monthly plan SIM card work just fine. HTC has not helped and nor has Rogers who claim that the phone is "not supported". The problem is in the Kaiser though. The prepaid sim card that creates the problem in the Kaiser works just fine in any other phone including Rogers HTC Touch.
I start hating my phone, too many problems with no solution in sight.

I cannot dial the local numbers that I have in the contact list. All my contacts phone numbers have been made on the PC with outlook and then sycronized them on the Kaiser. All the numbers have been made selecting the country code in outlook and appear in the format +country code then (areacode) then number. Unfortunately I can only dial the international ones and not the local. When I dial the local numbers a AM says that the number has not been assigned. The same number dialed via Skype works just fine.
If I remove the +sign and leave the 1 (I am in Canada) the number dials no problem. Same thing if I dial just the area code and number.
The problem is driving me nuts. I cannot make 2 set of contacts one for Skype and one for the regular calls. I also travel a lot and I need to dial the numbers from different countries without have to change anything.
I looked on the net for suggestions but did not find any answer.
Any help is much appreciated
Cheers

18 July WM v6.1 Messaging SMS \ MMS contingency, phone service is five bar signal , select Send and messaging process displays “Your text message cannot be sent”.
Call HTC technical support and select troubleshooting. Explain that yesterday Edyta suggested visit HTC e-member site for Radio ROM update, there is no Radio ROM update for TyTN II.
Raes answers, I explained contingency, Raes suggested that I call telephone provider I said that that the phone is HTC supplied SIM unlocked and that I have tried three SIM cards and the SMS contingency is the same.
Call ref. 08rbc290000760 Raes says select Settings, Phone, Services, Voice Mail and Text Messages, Get Settings, and that Phone: text messages service centre: number +44 7802 2092035 is incorrect (note that Voice Mail: number is blank) and that I need to call the SIM card service provider for a new number for the TyTN II phone service.
18 July 2008 Installed received today new SIM card supplied by O2 SIM serial no. 0064 4188 36619 marked www.02.co.uk/blueroom 3G
Installed new SIM card, restart TyTN II, Check Phone: text messages service centre: number and it is the same +44 7802 2092035.
Select Messaging: select SMS; select a failed SMS text message, select Send, dialogue box displays message sent.
Call HTC technical support, advise Mathew that contingency resolution here is that SIM cards supplied pre 3G not liked by TyTN II.
I received this message once when sending an SMS from an area where texting worked but voice/data did not. In my case, all I had to do was tap "Tap here to retry", and it worked.
Just to eliminate any 3G issues, you may want to force the phone onto Edge and try again.
I get this sometimes, usually right when I'm getting a message from someone else. I guess it's kind of a collision thing.
Anyway, just tapping "click here to retry" works but sometimes it does take three or four times to go through.
Sorry this isn't more help.

do you have your messages on threaded mode or normal mode
if its on normal (hacked by registry or other tools) this could be the problem because i experienced the same issue when i shifted (temp) to wm6.1
best wishes,

Definitely a well written post (I'll be taking que's from that from now)! Seems my problem is low signal strength, incoming sms's jammed (seriously, how stupid is that??), *and* wm6.1 I'm about to switch over to a 6.5 device, so we'll see if 6.5 is any better than 6.1.
*edit*
I have noticed that the whole messaging system locks up sometimes if I can't send out an sms, and a reboot will fix it with a rush of incoming messages that should have happened when i was trying to send out one. Is this common?
I have a tytn 2 that was bought in the UK and is branded vodaphone. I live in aboard and the strangest thing happens. I'm I a counrty called X, if I have a friends number who lives in X stored in the contacts without the country x dialing code the phone recongises the person and displays the name. however if get a text message from the same person the phone doesn't recognize the person. If I have the contact stored with the country dialling code the phone recongises the text message but not the incoming call. Also the phone has a country X sim card in it. Can anybody shead some light on this cause its driving me nuts, I didn't have this problem before in the same country with my previous tytn 1.
Dear developers and experienced people,
I have got a problem with the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV. When switched on, the phone always tries to send a registration SMS to the number 72059. With a non-T-Mobile SIM this results in an error status message. I don't know, whether this SMS attempt costs me money.
Is there any possibility (via registry etc.) to prevent the phone from sending this SMS WITHOUT flashing a new, unbranded ROM?
I wonder if noone else has noticed this already...
Thank you!
I havent' had this at all and i have an MDA C4, is this with a new ROM install or anything?

I just tested with a non German SIM, I don't get the error with that. I guess the error (short number not available) is an O2-specific error message, other providers don't react at all. But I guess the phone nevertheless attempts to call/message this T-Mobile internal number.
Edit: no new ROM, MDA just out of the box.
Maybe the phone does not try to send an SMS to the MyFaves number, but it is some kind of SIM Toolkit function?
Perhaps this behaviour would stop if I let it connect once with a T-Mobile SIM?
I have news again about this topic. The number this message is sent to can be found in the registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\My5\SMSC]
"SendNumber"="72059"
If I change this number to an empty value or if I delete the whole My5 tree from the registry, I don't get these errors anymore. Nevertheless I don't know whether for example in roaming I am billed for SMS attempts to an empty number.
Could anyone find out whether MyFaves fully stops sending messages if these keys are deleted or if it only sends messages to empty numbers in this case?
I did a lot of testing during the last few days. My results were kind of disturbing:
When in a home network, the MDA sends a silent SMS to the MyFaves number. Of course this number does not exist in most networks, but you also do not get an error message about it.
But when used in roaming, these SMS are charged. So everytime you switch on your mobile phone, you are charged a SMS from the foreign roaming network, even if the message has no valid target.
The registry key with the number can be changed, so I changed it to my own number. The resulting SMS did not show any meaningful plain text, but some binary looking glyphs instead. Since the message has got oversize, I was actually charged for 2 SMS!
The only way to circumvent this behaviour is to delete (or rename) the My5 tree from the registry. When switched on, the phone adds the tree again, but with empty values. Since there is no number to send to, the SMS is suppressed and does not cost any money in roaming.
Conclusion:
This is not a good behaviour for a SIM lock free phone. If someone does not know this, he/she has a bill of about 15 Euro/month just for switching the phone on every day. Since the phone does this quietly, most people would complain with their provider rather than finding the phone guilty.
