LG KS20 - O2 Homezone-Symbol Add-in? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hey guys,
I just recently switched to a O2 contract with the Homezone feature. Unfortunately my phone (Vodafone LG KS20) does not show the symbol for homezone activity (makes sense, it's not a PO2 phone after all)
Does anyone know of any way to implement the homezone indicator into this phone?
Looking forward to answers...

call the o2 service and let you turn on the speech-indicator:
every time if you make a call from your home zone, before calling you get a announcement: "HOME"!

Thanks you for that hint. I already did that. Now I am looking for an indicator to visualize the homezone in my mobile's display

O2 UK 3G help appreciated.

Hello everybody,
I apologise in advance if there exists an answer elsewhere, but I have been searching for the past week to no avail. I'd appreciate if somebody could point me to the right thread/direction.
I upgraded from my stock mda vario2 rom, to the latest schaps (WM6).
Everything works ultra fine but I there is no 3G! I have tried a few different radios and right now i'm on 1.43. I still cannot make video phone calls. The icon is stuck on G. I'm in east london btw.
I believe my O2 uk settings are right though , to te best of my novice knowledge that is.
Again I apologise if this is already addressed in another thread or wiki. Mods, please delete my post if it is a repitition.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers!
you have a tmobile phone or an o2 phone? goto phone settings and check its set to auto
Thanks for the reply,
I have the t-mobile's mda vario2. Tried that already but its still on G.
i have the same problem with an orange 3100. it will only find G not 3G. i have even tried swapping sims but no luck. i have tried all the different settings cabs i can find but no luck
i'm using an orange spv m3100 with no problems on o2uk, and i had 1.43 until yersterday.
o2's signal seems to be inferior to that of orange; i.e. 3g reception not as good
for example i do not get a 3g signal at home on o2, but did on orange, however i do get a 3g signal outside and in other places (on o2)
goggle the site for the field test software.

Call O2 customer service and ask whether you have 3G access activated on your SIM card. I have bought O2 pay as you go SIM card some time ago and it did not access 3G at all, since the very beginning on any 3G phone. Somewhere on the receipt or SIM pack (don't remember now) I've found sth like 'SIM 2G' so that way I figured out card is not meant to log into 3G. But I never bothered to call CS anyway, as I very rarely use that SIM.
Thanks guys,
I'll try all ur suggestions, I did try swapping sims with my wife, hers is an O2 sim which actually has the letter 3G on it, but nope its still Ging on me. I will give O2 a call.

Maybe a lead on WiFi for UK T-mobile MDA?

hi, i have a T-mobile MDA Compact III (UK), and i recently took it apart to replace the screen (i broke it). It is all back together now, and working as usual, but i noticed a icon next to GPRS/Signal etc, which after doing some research, is the triangle that shows the phone is roaming for Wifi.... strange. I also noticed this morning that a program i have on my phone called ShoZu (sort of a RSS feed program) was saying it couldn't download the data, as the phone was Roaming, and this could mean there are charges for downloading....
Any idea why its now started Roaming??!! i dont seem to be able to do anything with the roaming... all i did was take the phone apart, change the screen (whole unit) and put it back together!
Cheers,
Ths is a T-Mobile ****-up when the ran an stk update a while back, it affects the Artemis devices and makes them display the roaming icon (GPRS roaming has nothing to do with WiFi) - it is just an icon on my C-III, but on my HTC P3300 fitted with a T-Mobile card it is a real PITA as it keeps popping up a warning about roaming and MMS disabled.
If you want WiFi on the Artemis go and buy the HTC or XDA Orbit the T-Mobile UK version has not got the hardware fitted - Mike

Conference calling - does it work on your network?

Hi all,
I haven't seen anyone mention one of the more hyped selling points of the TP2 - the Conference Call feature. Does it work? And more importantly, does it work on your network?
The reason I ask is I am on T-Mobile UK with my Kaiser (and my TP2 when it arrives tomorrow) and I cannot conference two calls together - when I press the conference button, it says "The operation failed". A little research on Google seems to suggest that T-Mo UK are probably the only operator globally who have this functionality disabled.
Will this mean that if the TP2 is ever released through T-Mo retail that it will have this function disabled? Is that why it has been delayed - they are upgrading their network to cope with conference calling?
I'd be interested to know, especially if anyone has already got one on T-Mo UK.
Cheers
Im not sure about T-Mo
However, the option you need is Call Waiting & Call Conferancing; this option usually need to be activated with your telco under VAS (Value Added Service); some may charge to have this function activated
the best you call T Mobile and ask specifically about this function
As I feared, T-Mobile UK don't support conference calling so that feature doesn't work. I phoned CS yesterday to ask, and all I got was "it may be supported in the future".
Actually I found my TyTn II did this yesterday. I put a call on hold and saw an exciting 'conference button' in the Opal dialer. Pushed it and I got some message about not being supported.
I'm on Orange.
UK o2 = No no no.
Pretty pointless feature when the network doesn't support it, I don' think many uk networks do, they have their own conference facitlity. (232 on o2 I think)
T-mobile (ben) Netherlands: Yes, totally works. did it with my old hermes 2 months ago
Vodafone in the Netherlands supports the conference call facility.
A question I have in relation to this subject: does anyone know whether it is possible to have incoming phone calls join in a conference call? Example: I have a call with A on the TP2 and B calls me on the TP2 during that call with A. Can I organize that B will join the same call? If so, how? Is there any maximum of calls that one can have in such a conference call?
Cheers, dela
Telus in Canada does NOT support the feature. BOOOO!
It works on Vodafone Portugal
Vodafone in NZ supports this but only for account customers and by default it's turned off but can be turned on request for free of cost.

Yes, you can pick up the incoming phone call and join in a conference call you started (works well with Orange & unbranded TP2).

Your device already has Conference Call capability.
Using Conference Call is a network dependent feature. So, based on what your operator allows you (your phone subscription/plan) - you will be able to use it or not.
BTW, Conf call works great on Orange ...
Hope it helps.
Movistar in Mexico supports it, even on Prepaid, and for free (you just have to pay for both calls)
All Israeli operators (Orange, Cellcom & Pelefone) supports this feature
Mine worked twice on att then stopped, Any ideas why? I used it right when I got the phone then about 2 1/2 weeks ago and it worked great, now when I try I get two people on hold and the other call doesnt come through, and when I try to take the two peopl off hold is says it cant take the call off hold. Do you guys think this is a carrier issue like att not wanting me to use it or a phone/hardware issue?
Works with Vodafone UK
The Conference feature (aka Multiparty) requires a flag in your number's profile in HLR called "MPTY" activated. without that activated, you cannot make a conference call. contact your operator for this.

Actually my operator also have this service, but it wasn't activated in my number. Now it is... but it seems that the other numbers that you are making the conference also need to have this service activated, otherwise it won't work.

What kind of TP2 do you have? The GSM versions (i.e., non-Verizon/Sprint) support simultaneous voice and data while on 3G.
This functionality gets broken if you set the data connections to time out. The default registry setting is to leave data connections open, and this is usually viewed as a battery killer, so some opt to set an auto-disconnect after X secs or mins.
\HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume and CacheTime are the registry entries that should be left at default in order to do what you're wanting. And like MCbrian stated, you have to be on the 3G network for this to work (no "E" or "G" on GSM phones).
My phone is singapore SEA version, but using it in USA. its an unlocked version with unbranded.
