hey,
looking for a way to be able to dial a number off my contacts when using a calling card. ie, when i call the calling card, it tells me to enter the number i wish to call, so instead of having to hand dial it in there, is there a way i can just go to contacts and insert that number? seems silly that i have to write that number on a piece of paper and then hand dial it. thanks

Insert a "w" into the number to have the phone stop and wait for you to press send to enter anything that follows. Insert a "p" to have the phone pause for 2 seconds and then chug along. So for your contact:
(Calling Card Co. Phone #)w(CC Access Number/PIN)#p(Contact Phone Number)#
would dial the calling card, wait until you pressed send, enter your access code/pin for the calling card followed by a pound sign, pause two seconds (so the system can do its thing), and then dial the contact number followed by a pound.
You'll obviously need to customize to match the way your particular CC works.
Is it a silly question to ask why you are using a calling card on a cellphone? Are there any plans left that don't include long distance?
I'll make my guess in two words - "International calls."
Either that or he's trying to hide those 1-900/976 calls from his gf/wife.
$2.99/min doesn't last long...
haha na guys, i'm calling international. much cheaper to use calling cards than to dial straight. i'm still at school, and i tried what you said, didnt seem to work, but i'll try it again once i get home. btw, its the type of calling card where my number is saved with them, so i call the card, and it automatically asks me for the number i wish to dial thanks

Well the same dialing suggestions apply. Whatever you dial on your phone manually needs to be inputted using a 'w' for anything entered manually or a 'p' for a pause, which sounds like what you need. You can put multiple 'p''s for longer pauses like: 1234567890ppp12345 which would give you roughly a 6 second pause.
You can also try inserting commas, e.g:
18007777777,,,0119991234567
But I don't think you can tap a contact phone number and have it inserted mid-dialing stream. If the numbers you are calling will always use the calling card I would just save the calling card sequence as part of each of their numbers.
My personal recommendation is to use SunnySoft calling card and, if you are in the US calling internationally, GorillaMobile.
I'm originally from the UK and call the UK a LOT on my cellphone.
This combination makes it totally painless, just have the international contacts in the phone book as a regular contact (preceded by +44 in my case) adn just press dial. All completely seemless and Waaaaayyyy cheapper than AT&T (even reduced rate) International calling.
Just my 2c
This program could help solve the problem for you.
You can store you calling card and pin with this. Then, you can use contacts and select any phone number and you will see a "Call with calling card" on it.
I use this extensively.
Hope this helps

Very cool. Thanks so much for the binaries.
I think the source can be found here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158783.aspx if anyone needs to tweak it. I went ahead and installed the signature (pulled a copy off the CAB in PK7 format), but I don't think it's required.
I've wrestled with it for a few days before I found a post claiming contention with the WM version of Google Maps. Sure enough, after uninstalling GMaps and and uninstalling and ReInstalling the callingCard cab, all worked well. I can live without GMaps.
Contrary to the doc, you can place symbols along with letters in your pin. Since I have to enter two pins with my card mine looks something like:
12223334567#pp1234#
That enters the first PIN (Account number) # then two pauses. Then it enters the second PIN (PIN) and #. I think reboots are required between regedits for this to work properly.

Hello,
Thank you autosoori and Dan. I've added a very quick and dirty configuration GUI to it (its been a while since I've done any C++ programming to decided to use C# instead - apologies for the rubbishness on my part, but you will require .NET CF). The GUI is launched from the context menu in the Contacts list. Context sensitive help is provided within the app. Changed DLL so that device reboot is NOT required when registry changes are made.
I've only tested it on my Trinity running AX3L's WM6 ROM. Plan on adding support for multiple CC vendors (wife uses several calling card companies depending on destination). Apologies for the lack of clipboard support on edit controls.
Two files:
CallingCard.dll
CallingCardEdit.exe
I've wrapped them in a cab file. Alternatively, copy the two .exe's from zip to the original CallingCard's install dir; add a regstring in HLCU\Software\Microsoft\CallingCard called "ConfigApp" with the value being the full path to CallingCardEdit.exe; restart device.
Cheers
it works fine at my SX66 WM6, but only works with contact Menu than any other GUI .
hope for more functions
Changes requested
Hi,
My previous username was a bit non-random (for obvious reasons!), so I've changed it. Anyway, tell me what changes you want and I'll see if I can fit them in. If anyone wants the source, I can mail it to them.

I installed it and it's works fine, but today stopped work... the link appears, but I can't call with it. I tried to install it again... the same...
any idea?!
Here is a big problem I have with this CAB when used with GoogleMaps. If I install CallingCard AFTER GoogleMaps ... no Context menu for CallingCard appears in Contacts.
If I install CallingCard BEFORE GoogleMaps ... both GM and CC context menu appear, but when I select something like "Call work using calling card" it tries to use GoogleMaps instead
GREAT Application / New Features
GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks a lot !
works very well !
is there a way to use it with the call shortcuts for fast dialing ("numérotation rapide" in french) ?
it would be a very very very nice feature !!!
other options (less important, but pretty nice) :
1. ability to dial # after the "dial number"
2. in settings : ability to choose "0 secs" on each menu (pre-pin pause and pre-dial Pause)
Thanks in advance

GREAT Application / New Features
I havent reviewed this app for a long time - apologies. I've moved calling card provider to one that gives me a local number for each of my international contacts - nice!
Anyway, if someone desperately needs some work on it, I will try to fit it in - let me know.
Phil82de: I noticed the problem with Google Maps. I will try to look into it.
samerweb: Again, I'll see what I can fit it. What exactly do you mean by call shortcuts? If you mean phone Quickdials, then you could save the number that is actually dialled directly as a contact. Can you clarify.
Thanks.
hi i have installed this file on my mobile, but can't find the setting. please help
I have one very important missing in my Diamond.
When I want to call one number that is written somewhere (if someone send it to me by SMS or if I write it in a note) usually in my Qtek s200 I copied and then pasted the number in phone (the option paste was in the menu)... now in the diamond I don't find this option in the menu!?!?!?!?! How is it possible?!?! Do I have to write it somewhere else and then use it in phone?!?!!
Please... do someone have an idea??
Thnx!!
Urosh
I also am missing this feature is it hidden somewhere??
i dont have this problem
errr im not sure how you did it on your old phones but this is how i do it for an sms for example: click on SMS in TF3D, get rid of keyboard, then highlight the text/number i want in the received message, then long press on the highlighted text and menu pops up so say copy (and some other options) i then click copy...
go to where i want to put the number, long press on screen again, same menu pops up, i select paste... whats the problem, am i missing something here?
Usually if you want to call and the number is in SMS, it is usually highlighted and you can click it and it will ask if you want to call it.

The first part is ok.... but then if you want to call the number that you have copied (it means that it is in your clipboard) how do you do this? In the s200 I started Phone and then Menu and there was an option Paste and the number that I copied was pasted ready to be dialed. But now here there is no paste option in the Menu.
Kraize92... and if it is not?!? Paper and pencil??

This may be specific to the dialer used in your ROM. But generally, you can copy the number in your email/text/mms or whatever. Then when you open your phone's dialer, if you have a Menu option (lower right soft key in my case), you should have an option to paste. It will then put the number into your phone pad.

I realised that the paste function is present in the phone status menu (and not in phone keypade menu), but it is impossible to use because it comes out while you have a conversation. The problem still persists!! Any suggestion how to paste a copied number in the phone keypad???

No, I'm not using the ROM you referenced. Never even touched the Diamond before. Just speaking in generalities based on my experience with other HTC devices and Windows Mobile.
So I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "it is impossible to use because it comes out while you have a conversation". Are you saying you're trying to paste a number into the dialer WHILE you are having a conversation on the phone?
Normally when you paste a number into the dialer it will open the keypad and put the number into the same field as if you'd pushed the soft number buttons on the screen. It doesn't matter if the keypad is up or not when you paste. You just need to have the paste option in your dialers menu.

Yes. I met this issue too.
Anyone? Thanks.
/////////////
Sorry about my English. Highlight the phone number received, such as SMS, to restrain the phone number, click Copy.
Then enter the dialer, click on " # " in the lower right corner on the menu and already is the desired Paste.
I have Menu->Paste in my Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Atom Life and Xda II Mini.
From experience, the Menu->Paste command normally went missing if you installed other dialer. Even after you uninstall them, it won't be there anymore. So far, I never tried to find the solution for it.
Anyway, if you're using the stock rom, hard reset would definitely bring back Menu->Paste. I'm not sure about cooked rom.
Sorry, lost my manual for the Topaz.
Under Phone settings - More I see an entry called Fixed Dialing? Wondering what it is good for. It is grayed out, so I cannot change anything.

But thank you for the tip. Found the manual on HTC website, but Fixed Dialing is not listed.
FDN
it's a sim service that alow you to make a list of the number that you want the phone to be able to call.
ie: you buy a phone for your kid and you want him to be able to call only you and his mom, well enter both number in the FDN, though you'll have to protect it entering your pin otherwise anyone would be able to add any number. on mine it is not greyed out, i am using xtreme 6MJ. but it might be dependent of the sim, some may not offer this service

Hi all,
I tried to research my problem but I can not find any help.
Here is what I found by my experiment for this weekend.
Problem: On Froyo ROMs, I can receive SMS but CAN NOT send sms. MMS and 3g Internet is working fine as well as voice call.
Question: How do I set SMSC on Froyo, or is there way to fix this?
My findings after experiments:
1. Everytime I flash, regardless the types of a Rom wheather they are modified or origianl or Froyo or Eclair I can not send sms but able to receive. All the other functions of 3G internet and mms seems to be fine after APN setting.
2. On Eclair and Froyo I have tried type *#*#4636#*#* and went to phone info section, typed the SMSC number (that is 0430004010, I'm in Australia using Three hutchison ) pressed update and refreshed but everytime if i going back to testing page, the Input section is empty -> some reason the SMSC number does not get saved. I tried put +61430004010, then it will tell me "error update" whereas the 0430004010 will not show me any message
3. On Eclair, Message -> setting -> Text Message (SMS) Setting has " Message Server" section. I typed +61430004010 and then all of the Roms able to send SMS. This was the fix for my problem on Eclair.
HOWEVER, on Froyo, some reason this section is not available. As there are only two section available "Delivery reports" and " Manage SIM card messages"
4. I have typed **5005*7672*+61430004010# on phone number pad, code rejected...
I have searched the this forum and other forums too.. No one came up with solution apart from SMSC number. But it seems to me that I can't save the number if I go testing page by typing *#*#4636#*#*. Is there other ways to do this ? or have I done something stupid and missed obvious mistake (as usual ) ???
Any thoughts or comments I would really appreciate
Cheers
I have had the same problem, I tried to put it back to default setting, it works
Or go to drakaz forum, you can find help. Good luck!
Could not send SMS on Froyo
Hi!
I have M110S, just updated to Froyo (SL28), and couldn't send sms. The sms center number is correct (checked via SKT Admin menu), and SOMETIMES I could sent from 1 to 4 messages, but no more. I suppose it's possible right after writing the SMSC number, but not every time. Does anybody have the solution?
Have a root, if needed. It was no problems with Android 2.1 before.
Thanks!
BR, Yan.
I have the same problem. I am on XWJS3. Update error and no possibility to send sms
solution from www google com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=078232a74455bbf0&hl=en
(sorry, xda don't let me to post links)
Code:
OK, I managed to fix this. I'll post the answer because this was buried deep and is a pain.
Answer is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-926771.html
The relevant text is below. One thing I'd say is that the link is a bit vague on how to do the conversion. You need to put your SMSC number in the page, clear the rest of the info and press convert. You then need to ignore the numbers after 11.
For example, my vodafone +447785016005 goes to 0791447758100650110000910000AA00, which shortens to 079144775810065011. Go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and put that in SMSC and hit update. Messages now send!!!. Hopefully I can save someone else the grief I've had all day...
"
to update the SMSC in android,
the number first need to be encoded
please use below url to encode the SMSC
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
for example, if your SMSC is number is +4531300000,
after encode, it is 0691541303000011
put this in the info page, and it will work.

Hey, so I've been having the same problem with my shinny new stock LG G2x that I recieved as an easter present. I realize that its not the same phone as in the thread, and its not rooted, but its still running 2.2.2 Android so I assumed the ideology would be the same, I'm on a foreign exchange in Italy and I've been usin TIM (smsc +393359609600) and I've been having no luck using the converted PDU or just putting in the number using the *#*#4636#*#* or the **5005*7672*[number] methods in my phone settings when I click refresh next to the smsc a PDU number comes up, 002B003300390033003300350039003600300039003600300030, in the text box, so I'm assuming my phone needs a PDU number for the smsc, but what number I still don't know and was hoping you could help.
For me, the much simpler and robust solution using AT commands worked flawlessly.
There is AT+CSCA command which does exactly this: setting SMS service number. Example usage:
Code:
AT+CSCA?
+CMS ERROR: 330
AT+CSCA="+380910440601",145
OK
AT+CSCA?
+CSCA: "+380910440601", 145
OK
This should work on virtually every device, not nesessarily Android one. You just need to connect to its console in modem mode, as usual with all AT commands.

ii)After clicking refresh u will c a no just note down that no
iii)Put ur SIM i.e. SIM 1 in android phone
iv)dial *#*#4636#*#* n write that copied no in the box SMSC
v)now click update
U R DONE

Hi guys, so i was trying to look around for the secret menu aka "EngineerMode" for our device but it seems there is no code so far that can let you access it instead it seems they replaced it with "ProjectMenu" the old menu had a lot of tools such the ability to change the Audio settings and many other tools instead with the ProjectMenu you get access to more detailed information about your device also whether your sim is locked and you also can change the UI theme color from white to black and from black to white and many other info.
To enter to it insert the following code: *#*# 2846579#*#*
Good find. The UI theme change does not work for me though... Do I have to rebrand the phone and update before I can have access to change the UI color?
good point, doesn t work for me either

The color change doesn't work for me either, but in some Chinese forums I saw the white colour option. I think maybe it's dependent on the theme used by the phone the default themes that comes with the phone have only black color option.

Maybe... Tried with a few themes and no change. I like the light background more so it would be nice. Maybe we can get a CM/Stock ROM soon. Hopefully the community will grow and someone will be able too cook up something good.

There is no such thing as Engineering mode on this phone because it's not using a Mediatek chip.
To change volume settings you need root. The files you have to modify can be found on /system/etc/audio/hi6402 and are named mixer_volumes_default.xml and mixer_volumes_GRACE_xxx depending on your variant.
Network band
Not sure if this is possible or if I am being dumb but is there any way to unlock network bands or does it depend on hardware? If so which secret code shows you network bands settings?
