Hi,
I'm looking for a way to change the defaut split pattern used for phone numbers in the Galaxy S (contacts, calls, etc).
Here in Brazil we use phone numbers just like in USA, following the pattern:
AAA XXXX-XXXX , or AA XXXX-XXXX or even only XXXX-XXXX
(AAA = Area code, and XXXX-XXXX = phone number).
But my phone automatically splits the numbers in a terrible way, like:
AAA-XXX-XXXXX, or AA-XXX-XXX-XX
Is that the default pattern for Europe? (I have the Euro I9000 unlocked model)
Does anyone know any means to change or even remove this split pattern?
Thank you sooo much!
Paulo
I would love to know this as well! Here in the Philippines we split cellphone numbers like this: 09XX-XXXX-XXX or 09XX-XXX-XXXX or something to that effect. The first 2 X digits are operator dependent. My friends who play with my phone always find it so odd and the obsessive compulsive in me doesn't like how it's displayed either!
Would love to find some sort of quick fix to this! Oddly enough, this only happens when I add contacts manually by typing in their numbers. The one's I added by just using the add to contacts option when they text me with a new number display as a single block of numbers instead! Not as bad as the odd splitting my phone does by default, but I'd still prefer splitting the numbers appropriately. It looks better that way in my humble opinion.
My Galaxy S is from Singapore.
Sorry for the bump.
But can anyone help us with this?
Is it CSC related?
Or maybe there is a secret code to set the pattern?
Thanks,
Paulo
Hello Everyone! I have the same problem of course, having bought a Brazilian unit GT-I9000B. On the Samsung Omnia, I managed to change that using SKTools. Is there a SKTools equivalent to fidle the SGS?
Thanks

Hi all,
Apologies if this question has already been asked/answered...
I have a Softbank X03HT. They have apparently disabled the "+" feature for international dialing. Since I have more than one phone synched to my outlook i don't want to change several hundred outlook contacts to reflect the Japan&Softbank only "010" for international calls. I see that on some of the older PDA-phones it was possible to customize the international call code by doing a register edit. When I try that on the X03HT I do not find the entries in the registry to change (e.g., PDA version registry apparently has an entry like this--HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\PlusCodeDialing where the X03HT does not).
So, my question: How can I make "+" dialin work on this softbank model?
Thanks!!!
I might be wrong but i think it's as simple as pressing and holding the 0 key.

Yes, you're right. That gives you a "+" but the trouble is deeper. Generally the network translates the + sign into the proper international access number (in the US it is 011). This feature is great beacuse you don't have to remember the interational calling access code for each country you visit. But, Softbank doesnt have a feature like this. To get international access you have to dial "010" at the start of the number. (It could be worse, for DoCoMo the code is 6 digits long!). Anyway, older PDA-style Windoes Mobile phones allowed you to have the phone do the translation of the + sign to an international access code. (search Mongol for "+" dialing on this site).
My question is, Can we make the Z03HT act that way? HTC says no. I doubt they have really tried...some of the talent on this board is capable, I'm sure.
How about a $100 prize? I'LL PAY $100 FOR THE FIRST WORKING EXAMPLE.
The device in question is the i-mate Pocket PC. The problem, which quite bothers me is how it displays the received text messages. The "enter" key in texts is omitted and the texts are shown together instead. For eg.
A text sent from any phone:
"Hey
when's
the meeting?"
will be displayed on my phone like:
"Heywhen'sthe meeting?"
The line break gets omitted. Is there any solution ? Its pretty bugging actually.
That looks like a *very* strange error, I've never seen it on my Alpine though (O2UK-branded HERM300).
What firmware are you using on the device? Are you using a custom font for display with extended characters for another language? Is your device set up as OEM or from a network provider?
It's Windows Mobile 2003. The ROM is dated 2004.
I am NOT using any custom font or ANY OTHER tweak here. It's just normal sms, without any changes.
Device set up as OEM.
Anything else you might need.. ?
Somebody help please!
Hi all, I've been using my hero for a few months now and really loving it. Its a big big step up from my earlier nokia E51.
I had a constant complain with symbian, which I'm hoping can be solved on android. I want to be able to use my contacts nicknames. I should see the nickname when I get a call, I should be able to search contacts using just their nicks. But of course I'll have their full names entered in the DB.
Also, any way to give custom labels to multiple phone numbers, instead of the default work, mobile, home, etc? And any way to make these labels show up in the caller-id screen, instead of the actual phone number?
e.g. it should say " Dad - Delhi Office landline" instead of "John Doe - 123456789"
TIA
Happy new year to all
Doesn't anyone else care for nicknames?

Am considering purchasing a Motorola Razr i. I tend to text a lot and leave my phone on vibrate. So could someone who owns the phone please tell me what the vibrate alert pattern is like ( eg: my nokia => buzz-buzz-buzz (pause) buzz-buzz-buzz ) and/or whether you can change it to suit your preferences (a friend of mine claims he can use an app called chomp sms to do this on his S2. All help appreciated.
Hi there,
by default it´s a simple buzz-buzz. But there are al lot of apps to change that, e.g.:

In here we use ten digit mobile numbers (excluding the ISD code) and there is no dash or gap in between, but with Moto X obviously there is number formatting, callers number look like XX-XX-XXXXXX, both in dialer, SMS app, everywhere basically. It's okay with the saved contacts I have but for unknown numbers it's very awkward and hard to remember at one look. So I was wondering if there is a way to remove this stupid formatting? It will be really great.
I remember in Samsung there was some sort of CSC file editing used to do the trick, but no idea about X.
Thanks in advance.
PS : The model is a XT1052 btw.
