I got the streak 7 and live in chicago. They gave me a bloomington IL number. (309) and not one of any chicago area codes. I tried to call them and change it but they said you can not change a number on a tablet. They said im stuck with it. Nobody knows who i am when i text, since nobody knows the area code. Did anybody else get an area code for a different market?

Hey guys on my 6800 when dialing a number it says what state the area code is, how can i get this feature on my Tilt?? thank you
and is it possible to have it while calling in?? thanks
I think that's just a Sprint feature.
I used to have it on my cell phone with Sprint, and you say you have it on your Mogul now. I've had Windows Mobile phones on T-Mobile and now AT&T, and neither has it.
Someone correct me if you've ever seen the state name displayed next to a phone number on the screen of any phone other than Sprint.
Yeah almost all my sprint phones had that feature, damnit i find it rather usefull sometimes when i refuse to answer a call and find out who it can possibly be.. Well if anyone knows how to get this on our phones, i know they have it for the mogul, so it must be somewhere in the rom...
Sometimes I am amazed at the lack of applications for WM5/WM6 versus the Palm. I had a Treo before the Tilt and no matter what, there seemed to be a program for everything, including AreaCodes. When I cam to Windows, I assumed there would be 1,000's more, but it is simply not true!
Sorry for that......
You would think it would be pretty simple... just have the phone display the state name matched from a list of all the area codes and their states...
Maybe someone can cook a cab? I would if i know how to do it
I received a brand new touch pro yesterday from Sprint. I performed an activation online and I can place calls and send text messages with no problems. However, the internet connection doesn't work. I called sprint and they tried to get me to program the phone but the unlock code they provided doesn't work. They gave me two unlocked codes to try. I even tried to use the GETSPC program and the codes generated there still doesn't work. Any reason why? I noticed that under the device information section, the MEID displays the HEX rather than the DEC number. Is there a way to fix this issue? Thanks.
It's an account provisioning problem. Stop by a Sprint store and have them look up your account. Otherwise, just get the unit exchanged if it still doesn't work.
Hi i have a brand new unlocked phone but when i insert my simcard phone is booting type the sim pincode, starts up and it says no service.
Ive tried 3 different network providers (prepaid)
Sometimes when im outside i get a signal but its very poor then when im going into a building the signal gets lost and again no service.
Im realy stuck with it cant find answers, tried everything factory reset everytime with a new simcard. I have the latest update. Phone is US version.
Thanks in advance...
Had the same problem with my wifes phone, it worked for about a month then the radio would bounce between 1 bar at boot then fade to nothing, Ive flashed 3 different radios version to it still no go. Ended up sending it in for a replacement only to find out that HTC had a small batch of bad radios in a few phones. Tmobile just swapped it no questions asked.
Should I try to flash with other radio versions and how can i do it? I live in Belgium and got the G1 from Ebay so i dont think i can return the phone. The Seller says that the phone was 100% ok... So nothing I can do about it...
My advice is to check whether the phone has been blacklisted. It's what happened to mine - bought on ebay, was working fine for a week, then just got no service. Phoned up T-Mobile and they told me that it'd been reported stolen, so I then spent a couple of days fighting with the ebay seller, but it's working fine again now.
How can i check that on T-Mobile site? Im not familiar with T-mobile....
Thanks
As far as I know you can't do it online, so just phone them. Shouldn't take too long, just make sure you have your IMEI number ready (which is underneath the battery or can be found by typing *#06# into the dialer).
Edit: Or, the IMEI number can be found in Settings -> About phone -> Status
Called T-Mobile nothing they can do about it... I said if i give you the IMEI... Answer nothing we can do about it... 13min cal from Belgium to US hmmm how much will that cost
Now I really dont have a clue what to do...
Someone else any ideas?

I'm not sure how all this works, but if you're in Belgium, shouldn't you be calling TMobile Europe or something? Can a U.S. blacklisted phone not be able to get service with other providers?
Did not help calling T-mobile... Any suggestions??
I bought a HD7 from London locked with O2. I used htcimieunlock and unlocked it.
Then i flew back to India and right now with the vodafone network. I can make calls and send text.
But when ever i go to the market place it says "feature not avialable for this region"
While i was in london had 02 card inserted and had tried to access market place and i had got the same message.
Am i a getting this because of a unlocked phone? Or there is genuinely problem with the region.
What do you guys suggest to get this fixed? As of now i cant use my pdf docs or any other softwares.
Also has anyone been able to find a file explorer in market place?
I have an unlocked phone and it's working fine, sounds like there's genuinely a problem with the Marketplace in India.
And there is no File Explorer app.
Thank you for replying.
Are you from london cause i will be there again in 3 days.
In settings is your region/location as United states or united kingdom?
Cause when i was in London last week it said, that i should change my location to US
Hi,
I'm from Birmingham, England's Second City, in the Midlands.
My Region is set to United Kingdom for all options. It shouldn't have said that when you were in London, I know I'm not actually from London but the chances of it varying through the UK are slim to non. The marketplace should work fine in the UK. Maybe there is something wrong with the software on your device?
If your live account is set to india then it will do that to you, no matter where you are in the world.
I'm using the hotmail id since last 5yrs plus. Now for a phone I'll have to change my identity..
I'll be in London on the 9th and I guess I'll findout then.
Has anyone been able to change to a different live id without resetting the device?
i bought my hd7 from london as well.works well in malaysia
Okay i am in London today and on the 3 network.
AND MY MARKET PLACE IS NOT WORKING.
My id is @hotmail.com and is not .in (india)
Wht do u think is going wrong here? Why does it still say not supported in your country/region.
The guy in malaysia....whats ur id...hotmail.com or something else..
While in London i made another live ID.
after making the ID i entered that ID in zune and wallah! i got connected to the market place and culd shop provided my phone had the same ID.
Since i am not game to change my 10year old ID, what i tried was i went to the optons of the newly made id. In the region there i changed it to United kingdon instead of united states which was by default.
I alt/tab to zune and then tried again and now mynew id which a while back could log in cannot log in to market place now.
I went again and made the changes to united states and guess what...IT STILL DOSENT LOG IN
S T A N G E
So i conclude that once u leave the region as united states then i guess you are doomed.
Wanted someone to check on this one
1: If anyone can go in their hotmail options and check their region there? People in UK is your region as united states or UK.
Would apreciate someone trying and letting me know this info
There are many people affected by this problem.u can search it at zune forum.at the moment marketplace only supports 2 place.eu and usa.so for people like us we need to create uk or usa region id to access the marketplace but we can only download trial and free apps.because we do not have usa or uk credit cards.hopefully microsoft will introduce buying apps using points like xbox console can do.and i believe side apps loading will be available.it is just a matter of time.
Short version: who can fix IMEI on my (legally bought) phone?
Long story: I bought a new G870A phone around XMAS from an ebay-like store (I live in Poland). It seems to be an American phone (I get an ATT logo). It worked fine in Poland for two weeks I was using it (Polish SIM, T-mobile operator), but then I left for my work in South Korea, where I have a Korean SIM (SKT op.) it had connectivity issues: phone/SMS/wifi work, but mobile data doesn't work if the phone displays LTE 4G on the top. If it shows just 4G it works. I took it too SKT shops (three), all swear it's not an operator problem. Took it to the Samsung service center, they couldn't figure things out, sent it to the factory. I got a call from them (well, I don't speak Korean, so it's handled by my Korean gf). She said: "the number of INEI on the phone does not match the manufacturer’s serial number on the phone. Based on my understanding from his explanations, the manufactures finds for the serial number with INEI numbers, two numbers need to be the same. If another person is using a phone with the same INEI numbers with yours, your phone might not work properly. Your phone is not in the process for A/S since ur phone itself has the problem. So, they suggested you to contact the distributor what happens." I did some research on IMEI, and I am confused. I am reasonably sure that the place I bought in Poland is legit (I got the box, warranty card, proof of purchase; the business has official government registration, and 99% satisfaction ratio for its ~2,000 sales). The mobile data worked in Poland, which would suggest IMEI was fine - until the flight/SIM change? What could have messed it up? And if it is, who can fix it for me? Seems like the Samsung rep wants me to take the phone halfway through the world and complain to the Polish seller? Should I try to get if fixed in Korea? Whose fault is it? It also seems like it is possible to get the IMEI changed without root, could it be that someone "stole" my IMEI number? Could IMEI numbers work in one country but not the other? Should I try to change the IMEI myself - and if so, are there any good guides for that? I also read that changing IMEI is not legal in many countries, but presumably the vendor/service center can do it? But who is the party that should fix my phone? The original vendor? Are IMEI problems covered through warranty?
