Calling formats

I've been trying to find solution for this thru google, wiki and this forum, but without any success.
I have had for some time regional setting set up to English (US) and when I call a number in the US, it is nicely formatted.
For example, number in Contacts would be +18085552525 but when I call it, i see it as +1 (808) 555-2525.
Now I want to make this for European numbers. For example Croatia: +385 1 555-2525
Changing regional settings did not help. I set it to Croatian and I get only US numbers formatted...
Would be possible to do some registry change in order to make it work?

[AppDev] HowdyKeith's Mortscript Apps for Pushing Progress

Here I am going to reposit the multiple dev topics i am working on and a dev blog and where we r pushing.
Some of these topics will have been discussed before and apps released.
I am going to take 'em and tie em together for bigger goal.
Some of these Mortscript apps were written a long time ago and can benefit from a more robust version of Mortscript.
Also I will post as many script tools here as I can. Some tools are scripts I have written but don't deem their own thread. Other things are the real applications I find indispensable.
Links to real apps...

Links of Mort utils.
Wav player - Mort seems not to want to play different types of wav files. This app will let u test them through mort. I will list the types that Mort doesnt play and the types of wav it does play.
bluetooth functionality.
Currently there is no working Bluetooth toggler for phones with the Widcomm bluetooth stack. I made a working toggler with the help of Pocketmax PhoneAlarm. I am pretty sure i can make a stand alone bluetooth toggler now.
With Phone alarm i can have the bluetooth go on and off when I plug my phone in. As long as I can use Phone alarm I have that issue licked. I could Mort that, but Phone alarm is so great that if I can use it, i do. All these apps I work with I am stuck with the trial versions, but since I end up resetting my phone every other week that never is too much of a problem.
The remaining issue is with turning on Microsoft Voice command with my car settings. We're going to take a look at that here. For auto profile switching i can detect if the car is connected AND my computers bt dongle is connected, i am at home: (disable the car bt so i dont miss calls) Also if first connect of computer after being connected to car, auto run ActiveSync and sync up.
Also I can have Voice command msg me with spoken msgs using the SMS sender I wrote. What could work better is to make appts and have voice command read those. I expect to bump into some walls.
After a number that is unknown but the number is available can popup a while pages with the number.
sill want a whois posted to the dialer screen status. will the internet kill the call? no, right?
So my phone cant run http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298279&page=6 but i can make it work with mortscript. also phonelog should do this on my phone can do this, but it is always 5 hours off when it stores it. i have complained about this bug for the last 2 years or so, but since i am the only one with this problem, updates have never fixed this for me. obviously i should just write my own.

internot
A good hard look at the connected to internet detector. Why does iexplore connect to the internet and morts sometimes don't?
One more for the pie.
Issues and walls that are suck.
I dont have GPS, or even rkLocation. WTH. But I do have internet. Which means maybe I could use a web page What;s my ip to get a location. I couldnt use that to drive a map program of course but just maybe I could tell that I was not at home and set my bluetooth and stuff to on.
Some apps use a static location. If i can get a zip it might be possible to inject it for the app to use.
Also, we can't detect how much memory a program takes up, for example in a task manager. but we do know how much memory was available before we opened the app and then how much free after.

A number of lost phone apps can do certain remote tricks. I don't want to reinvent any wheels, but none of these apps work on my Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone. To tell the truth I already have gotten most of the lost phone functionalities working with StatusTicker. But we can go a bit further than just send back SMS with GPS or even rkLocation (I can do that, sure). Here are some additions I will be workin on shortly:
Remote activation of cameras to take some pictures and remote live video.

Remote trigger an online backup.
File Forte (Auto FTP backup)

Apps that capture documents and upload em to online could also capture the call logs and sms logs.

Dashwire (I better hurry while it's free)
Qiik? sends video
Send Back data:
Send me all my SMS Received/Sent
Send me my call history
What's my phone's Ip?
Remote purge
Remote lock
Turn on the bluetooth and annoy the neighbors. It could be possible to turn on the bt and then use it like a range finder with a different phone. Of course we can just unmute it remotely if its muted and trigger an alarm sound.
Downloading on a smartphone
I'm Batman
Here we will look at keycap ing and how close we can approximate it.
Using Iexplore as a config editor.
I am pretty sure I can use html pages to modify config ini's.
By having the page pass itself the arguments on the url, they show up in the page title and thereby can be reintegrated with Mort.
I already set up the html a few years ago on a e-commerce site I worked on. I found my old javascript codes which pass and interpret the ? and & variables you see in the url address bar. This means I can can use check boxes, input boxes, etc...
I am thinking this is going to be very cool.
Poor mans motion detector
So can we make a motion detector?
take picture
take another
compare size.
if size <> image has changed.
What about taking a picture/screenshot and if its black then we can check its size and see that it is dark?
If there is no native camera click option, and we can't access the camera sometimes, we may be able to leave the camera view open and then take screenshots with a screenshot app and then use those picks...
***
Mort doesnt give size of an app in memory.
so we would have to subtract the new free space from the old memory. yikes?
AppToDate - Mortscript support and integration
integrate Apptodate version checking and updating without using apptodate:
AppToDate Subroutine for Mortscript
Hi,
So I have AppToDate support in my Voice command app. So if you have AppToDate it will report whether you need an update and can download and install from there.
I have made a subroutine for your AppToDate supported mortscript app so it can check for an update.
We could have it download the updated cab. I can't use the download command since I have a smartphone. I guess I could make the PPC version and then have my app run AppToDate on my Smartphone.
And to think I hesitated.
Attached Files
File Type: zip AppToDateSub.zip (1.9 KB, 0 views)
Infra red receiver/transmitter
i wonder if i can make a Infra red receiver/transmitter with mortscript?
Well we cant do infra red output. but we could activate the infra red receiver and then use a remote control on it?
Phone Utils
Can we identify the caller and if known, open the contact with that callers name. Yes, I think we can.
Bluetooth
Solution : all system sound in headset
I found a solution for route all system sounds in a non-stereo Bluetooth headset, the microphone still works for calls but at the end of a call the sound is back in the speaker and must restart to make it work again.
Does anyone know what is the problem?
To do this we must change a registry value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\Connections
Choose your device hands free in the right folder 0001 0002 0003 ....
And change the value of BDDevClass 24 04 04 to 12 01 04

Send Twitter updates by text message
If you add your phone to Twitter, you can update anywhere, anytime by simply sending us a text message! Once your phone is verified, you can start sending (and receiving!) updates instantly. Depending on where you are, you may have a local number. You can send a text message to any of these numbers and it will post directly to your Twitter profile, and be sent to all of your followers:
We currently support 2-way (sending and receiving) Twitter SMS via short codes and 1-way (sending only) via long codes.
Short codes for 2-way Twitter SMS:
US: 40404
Australia: 0198089488 (Telstra customers)
Canada: 21212
UK: 86444 (Vodafone, Orange, 3 and O2 customers)
India: 53000 (Bharti Airtel customers)
Indonesia: 89887 (AXIS and 3 customers)
Ireland: 51210 (O2 customers)
New Zealand: 8987 (Vodafone and Telecom NZ customers)
1-way long codes:
Germany: +49 17 6888 50505
Sweden: +46 737 494222
All other countries: +44 762 4801423
We're working on getting more local short codes for other places, and we'll update this list as they become available. If you travel out of the country, check with your mobile provider to see if they route text messages to local short codes, of if you'll need to use the international number instead.
If you use 40404, you can send and receive unlimited messages from Twitter, but we do advise you to check with your provider to make sure your text plan covers text messaging. If you use one of our other numbers, you're limited to 250 messages per week, refreshing every Sunday at 12:00am GMT.
For people using any number other than 40404: once your phone is verified, you'll be able to send your updates to +44 7624 801423 , but you will not be able to receive text updates from Twitter. Find out more on the Twitter Blog.
A word of caution for UK residents using the international number: some carriers don't charge an international fee to use the Twitter international number within the UK, but others do. Some carriers consider it an international number and charge from .15 to .25 per message. Remember to check your phone plan for international rates; be aware that even in the UK, standard messaging rates vary by carrier, and do apply.

dialer number format

hello!
how can i set the dialer number format! i know that it depended on country selection but now, on ics, dont matter what country i choose it puts it in XXX XXXXX XXX format!
how can i change this? even the numbers in my contacts are displayed in this format!
please anyone!
Try using an app called morelocale 2. It may work for phone number format as well
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Bump! I want to know this as well.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I'd like a fix to this as well.
All incomming calls are displyed with the country code +61, and my phone can not recognise who the caller is even though they are in my contacts
I believe it think the caller is Australia?? as its just started displaying "Australia" under the number, but now without the +61
It would be nice to know whos calling/texting me..........
phone numbers are formatted just perfectly for me
I'm English, so all the numbers I have for UK based numbers follow the format of
XXXX XXX-XXXX for landlines, and XXXXX XXXXXX for mobile numbers.
the few American numbers I have follow the format +1 XXX-XXX-XXXX
I must stress thoug
+1 for the "MoreLocale 2" app, try it and check that your locale / contry code are correct.
I'm from switzerland and in ICS I can only select the "French" language, which correspond to France. But here in Switzerland we use different keyboard layout / number format and with MoreLocale 2 I manually could set up my phone to fr/CH (which can't be selected natively in ICS).
UPDATE: I did a factory RESET, and everything seems to be working.
When I first started using my Nexus there was no sim inserted, but it was connected to wifi. So my contacts where sent to the phone originally without the sim inserted. This time I had my sim card in when performing the reset, and during setup.

[Q] SMSC configuration and GPS

Curious if any of you learned folks out there have run into this:
1. I upgraded to Jelly Beans via Kies; surprisingly smooth
2. Then I decided to further "configure" my phone by typing a string found on the Internet: #*#*4636*#*# - which opened a configuration window
3. Intrigued by the option "SMS over IMS" - which I took for SMS over IP versus SMS over SS7 I played with therm settings-with some abandon I must ad-not writing things down- so I can't send SMSes now - albeit I can receive them. I assume I need the SMSC server address. I live in Taiwan and the SIM is from Taiwan Mobile, who have been very adept at hiding their settings while also populating their service centers with aspiring your actors specializing in "say what"? impressions.
Does anybody know where can I find the Taiwan Mobile SMSC address/name? Is is over IP or over SS7?
Also, Google Maps refuse to map me on the map - although my GPS module works-checked it with a compass app.
Thanks

Cannot register SIP / VoIP account "due to unavailable Internet connection"

Hi,
when I try to add my SIP account in the settings of the caller app, after the creation of the account I get an error message saying "Cannot register due to unavailable internet connection" (error message translated back from German, so probably not the exact wording of the English version).
The settings are definitely correct. Any ideas?
build npns25.137-24-1-9
Thanks in advance!
rhhd
Are you sure that mobile data is on? Not wifi. And can you browse Internet? If yes (or no), check with your carrier, maybe additional APN is needed
Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk
Are you serious? Yes, obviously I made sure that the Internet connection works.
OK, I was able to resolve the problem. It seems to be a bug in Android:
There is an option that says "Receive incoming calls (may deplete battery faster)" (as above wording is modulo translation back from German). EVEN IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE INCOMING CALLS VIA SIP, ENABLE THIS OPTION. Then create the SIP account. Then the registration works. Afterwards, you can deselect the option again.
Seems ridiculous, but this is what finally helped on my phone.
