"011" gets added automatically when call is placed to a phonebook entry - Motorola Droid Bionic

Sorry for creating a new post, but I did not find any details discussions or solutions proposed for this problem. If solutions have been detailed other than the below, request you to direct me there.
I am from India, using the Bionic on Reliance CDMA. Bionic is running on ICS 4.0.4 Build 6.7.2-223
1. The current country in Assited dialing is set to US and is greyed out - cannot change ; any way this could be altered?
2. Switching ON/OFF the assited dialing - not helping.
3. Reference country changed to India - not helping.
4. Updated the National number length to 7 - not helping.
5. Changing the IDD does not seem to have an effect on the 011 being added to the numbers. Not able to blankout IDD, requires some input.
The only working solution is remove the country code +91 (India code) and just save the 10 digit numbers. But do not want to do this as STD (outstation) numbers will not work without +91. Do not want to add 0 in front of numbers either.
Any possible solution? Sorry if this has been answered - I have tried to google a solution but none of the above seem to fix the issue.
This is my first thread in XDA. I have learnt a lot from you guys - so a BIG THANK YOU.
Thanks,
Sid.

+ instead of 010 for Softbank X03HT

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.

Incoming Calls not Displaying Contact Name

Hi All. Just recently flash Touch-IT 10.4
Peculiar issue i didn't face before. When I get a call, the name/picture of the contact does not get displayed. Just the number.
But when I look at the call History. The name is there.
Wats up?
Tried looking/posting in the Touch-IT thread?
And isn't Touch-IT 10.31 the latest version?
Well there is a 10.4 posted in the latest pages.
But not on the first page.
I browsed through the latest pages. no one seems to be facing the same problem.
That's why i posted outside the thread. Maybe someone else faced the same problem with another ROM.....
if I remember rightly I've had a similar prob ;-) The problem was that incoming calls included country code and the numbers saved on my X1 consited only of the whole number resulting in being signed as unknown ones - Try adding country codes to your address book
kind regards
N0r0
darn. it was working fine before. without adding the country code. sigh. Gotta add the country code to each number? whoaaa.
I thought the same *g* But one rom I've tested [don't really know which one exactly] needed such country codes [I added it automatically with a lil script ;-) - don't worry]
regards

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

[Q] Problem with sending SMS and SMSC setting on Froyo

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

(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.

I would like to do this, but how do you "connect to its console in modem mode"? I'm using a Galaxy Nexus.

[Q] HTC Android Incoming Caller Recognition - Minimum Phone Number Length

Hello everyone
Problem: HTC phone identifying incoming callers already in contacts.
Phone: HTC One M7 (also a problem with other HTC versions)
Version: European
Rooted, TWRP recovery, Android Revolution HD 71 ROM
Description: I travel a lot and have the country code on all contact numbers. So for Lebanon the country code is +961, and then you have two versions of area codes:
- Either 01, 03, etc
- Or for mobile numbers they've added 70, 71, 76, etc
Phone number length is always 6 digits. So when adding the country code the full number length will either be 10 digits (+961 X XXX XXX) or 11 digits (+961 XX XXX XXX, for the new mobile numbers). When in Lebanon, receiving a local call doesn't show the country code. When I receive a call from one of the new mobile numbers (70, 71, 76, etc), I can see the name of the caller if he/she is in my contacts. The problem is when I receive a call from a 0X number, my HTC doesn't link the contact to the incoming call ID. This means that the default HTC minimum phone number length (or National Number Length) is 8 digits whereas it should be 6 or 7 (with or without the area code).
For numbers with 0x area codes, the leading zero is removed when you add the country code so 03-XXX XXX becomes +961 3 XXX XXX (as I have them stored in my contacts) but then the phone doesn't recognize the contact.
I've searched high and low for this all over the web and was only able to find a solution for the Windows Phone versions of the HTC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2613156&postcount=20&nocache=1&z=2442631679847231. I've also posted about this before for the HTC One X+ but no one was able to help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202350&page=3
I've got a rooted phone with Android Revolution HD 71 and the issue was the same on stock rom, older Revolution HD 52, and still on Revolution HD 71.
Using Rom Toolbox Pro I found some build.prop settings (on Revolution HD 52) that might have solved the problem:
ro.phone.min_match.HTC__Y13=8
ro.phone.min_match.HTC__J15=7
ro.phone.min_match.HTC__016=8
But when I reduce these down to 6 I still have the same issue. These settings aren't available on Revolution HD 71, but either way there must be a deeper system setting that can be changed to be able to modify the minimum phone number length identification.
The only support I found from HTC seems to be for the Verizon version of the M7 which is in assisted dialing and they state that the National Number Length can be changed from there, but that setting is non-existent in the European version (I can only choose my country and either enable or disable assisted dialing).
I found one link relating to the framework decompiling, editing, and recompiling but I'm not a dev and can't do that to create my own ROM.
I've even tried going to the database settings for com.htc.contacts, com.htc.dialer, com, etc but couldn't find anything!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if anyone can help with this I would be really grateful!
Thanks!!!!

Hey there! I have an idea. Are the CIDs listed:
ro.phone.min_match.HTC__Y13=8
ro.phone.min_match.HTC__J15=7
ro.phone.min_match.HTC__016=8
Click to expand...

matching your device's CID? If not you could try add a line to the build.prop that matches your CID. e.g:
Code:
ro.phone.min_match.XXXXXXXX=6
and then restart your phone. Hopefully this works!
Squabbi - I can't thank you enough for helping me in the right direction!!!!!
I had a feeling that might be the issue but when I created the line in the build.prop it still didn't work.. I went back yo fastboot and did fastboot getvar all it showed a different CID (VODAP001)
When I created the new line with ro.phone.min_match.VODAP001 it worked!!!! When I get a call from 7-digit numbers (including area code) it works!!!
Thank you so so much! I've suffered so much from this and in 2 years haven't found a solution I'm going to search every forum and help people who had this issue!
I'm apalled at HTC as they haven't been helpful with this although its their phones!
Thanks again!!

or you can just add
ro.phone.min_match=7 (or whatever number you choose), then CID won't matter if you change it

yep indeed
i searched for years myself without finding any solution whatsoever, and HTC support didn't help at all.... so for years, i had a script to duplicate every number to both +961 x xxx xxx and 0x xxx xxx in Outlook.
you should also look into an app called prefixer it also had/has it's uses (past tense for me), but could be a useful app nonetheless
and just google: "7 digit caller id fixed" that would have hit the spot
