hi i have a orange sim with 2 lines and when i put it into my m2000 i cannot find a way to select line 2, ive rung orange but they did not know if the m2000 supports line 2, can someone out there please help me. thanks in advance.
The SPV M2000 DOES NOT support Line 2.
It actually used to say this on one of the Orange Info pages about the SPV M2000 but I can't seem to find it now.
Sorry. You are out of luck
It does accept incoming calls and text's on line 2.
However as stated you can not text or phoen out on Line 2.
I was under the impression that this was a software issue and was being investigated by Orange ? ? ? ?

Yes it's definetly a software issue, because as you've said the phone does receive them, but I think it's more down to Windows Mobile 2003 SE. Does ANYONE have a Pocket PC phone that *does* support Line 2?
It's not going to be something Orange can fix though. At least... I wouldn't think they would be able to.
I've also noticed that it doesn't support Fax either :-( Same problems. Can receive on it, but not send via dedicated fax number :-(
(I'm using an XDA IIs, but the standard O2 ROM didn't do any Line 2 etc, nor does the iMate PDA2K ROM it's running now)
:-(
well based on this it does not support line 2 (long way down the text)

Fax is operator dependent (and you need the software)

Seems like T-mobile (Germany) can as they add the software in the EXT Rom.

Hi,
Yes I've got that software/operator support already, but it won't just automatically receive the fax number. At least I can't make it. There's only a "next call is a fax" which isn't particularly helpful.
And when you send a fax it goes from your primary number, not the fax number that's lined up with your account. That's the problem I have anyway.

Hi all.. This is my first post so obviously this is a newbie question! My XDA 2s is not able to recognize the name of my mobile operator here in India, and it shows up as "40468". Is there any tweak by which I can manually feed in the name of the operator so it shows up on the Phone screen?
Just to explain the issue clearly - the number on the top right is where the name of the mobile service provider should show up. Why does it show up as a number (40468) and not as a name, as it did on my Sonyericsson P910i, or indeed other phones? Grateful for any help in this matter.
It's because basically each mobile phone operator is allocated a number (in your case 40468) and inside each phone is a tiny database of operator names/numbers.
I used to think that the operator "sent" the name, but a few years ago now a UK operator changed it's name from "Cellnet" to "BT Cellnet" and then to "O2", however phones wouldn't change. But if you had a newer version of firmware on your phone it would change (so that supports my theory that the database is in the firmware).
I think this also make sense because the operator isn't going to know how many characters are available for showing the name/abbreviating as necessary and so it makes sense for the mobile phone providers to keep their database in sync with the "main" one for who is allocated what as it'll make sure the information is displayed correctly as they can abbreviate as needed for each device.
At least that's how I understand it. So in your case it sounds like your phone doesn't know your provider. Perhaps a newer upgrade might help (1.33 or 1.40?), but I'd just ask your provider. If they sold you the phone it's pretty weird it doesn't support their own network. It might just be a faulty handset :-(
Perhaps post the name of your operator and we can see if anyone else is using them and it works for them
Neil -- many thanks for your reply. When I bought this phone (unlocked) from Kuala Lumpur, it wasn't as yet available in India. Now it is, though. Maybe thats why it doesn't show up all of India's mobile service providers. Anyway, my mobile provider is MTNL in Delhi.
Upgrading ROM to 1.40 may solve the problem, provided its and "Asia" ROM. Is that available yet? Is it possilbe to "cook" the rom to add service providers?
Many thanks for your help Neil.
Well you're using PH20B which is same as my phone is here in the UK and I'm running the 1.40 ROM so technically you shouldn't any problems. I'd wait for someone else to just verify either that A) What I've said about being stored in the phone is correct or B) Some one using MNTL in Delhi to confirm they have/haven't got this problem.
Because if it's a case of it's fine for them and ROM's are same etc it might be a faulty unit (can't really see how!) and a ROM upgrade might not help and since technically these ROM upgrades aren't always official (1.40 probably isn't) you'd probably have to put it back/find previous ROM before you could take it back.
Upgrading to 1.40 isn't really a pain, see the WIKI (top left) it's daunting at first, but it's actually very easy to do, but do it when you have enough time to reinstall everything because doing any sort of ROM upgrade does a hard reset as well (wipes everything in main memory - \Storage and \Storage Card are safe).
I can't guarentee that this would fix your problem, i.e. your provider is in that ROM, but not sure what else to suggest + 1.40 does come with Media Player 10 which is a bit of an added bonus! You can backup your existing ROM, although it's probably already on the FTP, might be handy to have it in advance if you want to go back.
Hope that was some help!
P.S. If you decide to go down the upgrade route, probably worth upgrading your radio at the same time. I'm all the way to 1.12 and it's fine for me, but some people seem to have stayed with 1.10 because they've had some issues - search forum on this)
Neil -- two quick comments.
One, from using cell phones for the last many years, I feel that the code to decipher the cell provider's number is in the phone. This has happened to me before, when I bought phones which were not available in India, and it's happened again! It seems to me it's a ROM issue, as its logical for cell providers to be consistent (i.e. broadcast their identification numbers) and let the phones decipher them.
Two, is there any major danger that I'll lose the phone itself with a ROM upgrade? I know this has been answered in some other threads of this forum, but it'll be a first for me on this newly acquired beauty!
Cheers and many thanks....
example:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames]
"45404"="3-DUALBAND-"
Hehe, big mamaich spoke... :lol:
Yup, those are PPC's: many things can be done by software... :wink:
This is odd...
Since I upgraded my MDA2 to 2.06.00WWE Radio: 1.14.00 I've seen this problem where the carrier name was changed to a number (in my case 334020).
On my previous ROM version I had no problem at all. And this device does not even exsist in Mexico and it displayed the carrier name (Telcel) without a problem.
I think the carrier name is taken from the network itself and fed to the registry but this particular ROM has problems taking this particular carrier numbers.
If I do a network search I can see the other carrier in my area (Movistar as a number also) and two other United States Carriers (Cingular and AT&T) but this time with their names (I live close to the United States).
To "fix" this I created a GIF file named carrierlogo.gif and place it on the Pocket PC Windows directory and now it shows a nice Telcel logo instead!...
@ Rayan
that looks good! Could you please explain how you did it? The first step obviously was to place it on the Pocket PC Windows directory, but what were the other fixes? Did you tweak the registry? Newbie question... I've been a XDA 2s user only for a few weeks Rayan!!

Mamaich speaks loud and clear! Yup, adding that additional string did the trick! I created a string for my carrier ("40468"="MTNL"), did a soft reset and Voila! It worked! Thank you Mamaich, thank you forum!!
Hi Dilip,
I tried the trick on my PDA2k, but not worked..can u pls elaborate how u hv added the string....or made a new key value in the registry?

it works and thanks to mamaich (he is the greatest) i tried it on my imate jam and worked like a charm.... all u have to do is navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames]
using any registry editor like resco..... once u reach OperatorNames create a STRING VALUE
in the Name box write the number that shows in ur dialing pad and in the String box write the name of the operator or any name u want ..... look at the pic ... and u can write it in any lang u want
As shown by PapaDocta above, I added a string to my registery and this is how my phone looks now:
Hi!!!
Thaks, now it worked...I was trying to make a new key value and what not.....but never knew that it was so simple.
Thanks a ton..This helps very much during roaming...
One of the things I found really useful with my old Nokia 9210i was the built-in fax software. Very handy when on the road and you need directions or info in a hurry.
So, was quite pleased that the XDA2s came with fax software. However, I have NEVER been able to recieve a fax.
I do have a dedicated FAX number (& Data number) through O2, and this works fine using the 9210i. I can send out of the XDA2s OK, though it does annoy me that the voice side of the radio gets switched off. However, when I set it to recieve, it answers the call OK, the fax on the sending machine goes through, and then it throws a send error.
The XDA2s just sits there saying 'connecting', and then after a while 'serial port timed out'.
I have had to resort to a Digital Fax-to-email service whilst on the road, and whilst this works OK to a fashion, its not quite as immediate or useful as having the fax delivered straight into your PDA.
Any info or tips anyone has welcomed. Also, interested to hear if you have struggled to get it to work without success.
Seems pointless having the software without the full functionality.
what about qtek 9000 (universal)?
I have a big dilema...will it ever be possible to use fax on my qtek 9000? I have all the required fax services on my sim and software on my phone (TrueFax 2.09), but it still not working to send or receive fax from my device...
And about the fax modem...is this an aditional software, or what because my phone is not detecting any fax modem?

KSE TF 2.09 does really work..I hv sent and recvd no of faxes on the move...since u hv activated Fax services on yr SIM, u need to take care that u enter the Fax no in International format while sending the fax...receiving is not at all a prob..I hope u are aware of the procedures...
no fax sent
I couldn't send it etiher. Was on the move. Needed it.
Another desilussion for a very expensive piece of brick....
how to remove / uninstall truefax since it is not working.
Just asked my provider to activate fax on my SIM by paying a one-time minimal fee, which included a new fax number added to my SIM. Send/receive tested and working with TrueFax.
Heya folks,
I wasn't too sure what to even look for in a search for this one.
I'm moving to the US, I have an Orange M2000. I've been offered a work-cellphone account, but I have to pay for the cellphone myself.
As I already have the M2000, I'd like to use it on Cingular for "Goodlink" services.
Apart from unlocking the network-lock to take the Cingular sim, is there anything else I need to do to prepare the phone? I'd rather not tamper with Rom's etc unless I have to.
thanks again

Hello, i was in the same situation last year with my XDA IIs. Moved from London. I have been using it on T-Mob US with no problems at all with regards to call reception, gprs, or sending and receiving sms. Only thing you may want to do is upgrade your radio rom to 1.15, seems to enhance reception a bit. Cheers.
Head over to the SX66 Standardization Project website & grab an extended ROM. Extended ROMs contain operator customization files -- grab them from the extended ROM & install them on your BA.

Hi there, I live in California and bought an Orancge SPV M2000 off Ebay from the UK, have unlocked it and it works well with my T-mobile simcard. But since it came loaded with the original Orange ROMS...I have had no luck trying to configure the MMS/GPRS settings on it. Tried every configuration found here on this site as well as other google sites, and even called Tmobile customer care rep for a walk-through. They didn't tell me anything new from what I've already found here, however, no joy sending an MMS at all
I have considered upgrading my extROM from Xelencins Tmobile for WIZARD ROM just to get the Customization settings. But I'd rather not do that since I am no pro at upgrading and don't wanna screw up my device if I can help it.
Can you tell me how you configured your MMS?GPRS settings to seamlessly work ? Mine just says "sending" forever and then times out and never sends it in the end
Please, any tips will do, thanks in advance...

Dear all,
(How) can I send and receive fax with my Hermes?
I supose I have to use some kind of software... But... Which one?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance.
Cheers.

If you want to fax using the device itself, check the link above. If you want to fax from a pc by using the phone as a modem, check here.
or....
Vodafone NZ has a service where they have a special number assigned to you, so you can receive faxes. Paid service of course, or you can use the above links also for alternatives.

Well, if you know the keyword and it doesn't give you junk!
MFaxCE doesn't support wm5 nor wm6.
WModem in later roms don't seem to support AT commands properly, just a subset so that *99# dials onto 3g internet.
And.. we're back where we started, no fax over gsm/3g, except internet based services.
Hi experts
Whenever I dial codes like *101*2#, it keeps displaying "waiting". These were working before, but then it stopped and stacked at "waiting"
I tried in Nokia with same sim and it responded back with proper information.
I have installed different roms on my Hermes (SPV M3100) but it is not working.
I also confirmed from Mobile Operator company but they also said, it could be your mobile problem.
Any idea/help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Are you sure these are not JUST for nokia phones?
Thanks for reply
These codes are not phone specific. Instead these are Mobile Operator specific.
Like *101*2# is to check my remaining SMS bundle.
*111# is to check my remaining balance in Prepaid account.

Ahhh ok.
Which ROM are you using?
Have you run 'connection setup'?
Windows Mobile 6.5 23047 has broken codes support.
Wich dialer are you using????
default? i dont think so... if you are using another than the default, please open de advanced config... go to "phone" then in "skin" set "no"... "done" softreset coming then try again....
I can do it on my prepaid line too *133# it returns me my info correctly
I'm observing the behavior of these codes since some days and I've got to know that these codes are not working in some specific area, while working in another area.
In the area where these codes are not working, there are no mobile phone Jamming Devices or anything else. But this is highly security zone of the city.
But funny thing is, if I put same SIM in Nokia phone, these worked even in that high security area where my Orange SPV M3100 is not working. And this is where me and mobile operator are confused.
Windows Mobile 6.5 23047 have problem with ussd ( Unstructured Supplementary Service Data ) network messages *xxx#
We have same problem on TAI rom 23047 build ( for HTC Hermes )
Now im waiting for a new release to fix this problem...
