m2000 and line 2

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.

Mobile operator shows up as number

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...

need help with my htc s621

hi;
need help with my htc s621, was using it in Vancouver/ Canada;
couple of mounts ago used a service here to unlock it and was able to use it in Iran while I am staying;but with some problem;
on regional/Locale there is no Iran in the country list, there is problem that I think it is related to it;
when I make a call using the keypad, the call will be ended so it won't make a call, but if i save the number into the phone book and call the number from there; then it works, to mention that I changed the locale to Sweden, because this way at least i can make a call from phone book, and when I get a call can not return the all using the number, because it will add the country code to the number, so I have to enter into phone book and remove the country code then be able to use it.
anyway I can make this work?
some kind of ROM update ?
I have searched many local shops here, but there are other models of htc around but not excalibur to get some help;
appreciate any help;

Welcome to forums

Reflashing to a newer ROM could help your problem (which I don´t understand quite well)
Good luck,

Hi,
I am also in Vancouver although my phone is a T-Mobile Dash that I got on eBay. You really have a different problem here. I assume that you are using an Iranian SIM card when in Iran and not your Rogers/Fido SIM.
Another guy I work with has a Rogers s621 and even though I unlocked and flashed his ROM for him (originally to the Kavanna 6.1 and now to the EVO 6.5 ROM) he had trouble on trips to China with his China Mobile SIM which itself needed to be unlocked to use it. He ended up buying a phone over there instead.
I assume you are still using the Rogers 6.0 ROM, which is better than the T-Mobile but far behind either of the two I listed above. I would flash to Ookba's 3VO ROM, it is really great and runs beautifully. But follow the direction to the letter, don't skip any steps. I have no idea if it will solve your particular problem, but even if it won't you'll be a lot happier with the phone using it here in BC.
Here is the link to the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718

Thanks for the replies guys;
I will do some reading and will upgrade to see if it will become better or not;
yes I still have the Rogers 6.0 ROM; and use an Iranian SIM card;
I wonder if I upgrade and then some problem occurs is it possible to downgrade to what I have, perhaps a way to backup the ROM I have.
Thanks

As long as you follow the instructions on my previous post al should be ok, but in case it fails you can always go back and install another ROM, but believe me if you install any new ROM (6.1 or 6.5) you´ll be so happy that you won´t want to go back

OK;
I did install the new ROM (EVO 6.5 ROM);
it is very nice, I like it but the name of my country Iran is missing in this version also,
by the way I believe this ROM is application unlocked, I wonder why I can not install any application on it;
I searched online and found couple of free apps fo wm 6.5 but it won't be installed. I have not got any error or something.
some of the apps will go half and some up to the end but I don't find it anywhere.
any idea why?
if anyone has installed an application on htc s621 using same ROM please provide a name and a link to download if possible.
appreciate your help.

I don't know if this will help, or whether you have already tried it. You would probably have to do this while in Iran with the Iranian SIM card in the phone. Try entering your settings menu, All Settings > Phone > More > Networks > Menu > Preferred Networks. Scroll down to see if your Iranian network is shown with all the other international choices.
I have no idea how this list is generated, I assume it is by Rogers/Fido here in Vancouver. But you may have a political problem on your hands rather than technical. Are the sanctions against Iran reaching to some organization of cellular providers and the Iranian carriers are being blocked by them from being on the list? I don't know the answer, you would know a lot more about what is restricted in Iran (from within or without) than I would.
In any case, good luck.

OK; Here is what append with my phone;
I upgraded to 3VOLUTION series to see if the dialing problem will be solved or not, everything was OK after installation no errors or something, but as for the calling, as my phone had problem calling out using keypad, now this time after upgrading to wm6.5 my phone could not dial from phone book either,
so practically useless phone, it could only receive calls.
I searched for a solution online , did not find any answer, looked around phone shops here in my city, until I found a guy that said he can make it work, he had a box so in less than 20 minutes did something and phone start working properly, I can make a call from keypad and phone book no problem,
and in the location status the country of Iran is not listed either I am not sure what he did using the box.
I did asked the guy if I upgrade or downgrade WM can the same thing happen again, he was not sure.
I am thinking of downgrading to 6.1 since there are not much application found for 6.5.
but I don't want to pay the guy again for the same thing.
does anyone know of this things?
what he actually did with the box that can not be done without it?
appreciate any help

T-mobile software branding, keeps me from using mobile data in sweden?

Hello!
I'm writing to you all as a recent user of my new htc desire which I
orderd from germany on Handyattacke.de and using it in Sweden, Gothenburg.
Handyattacke said it was a sim unlocked mobile with T-mobile software branding.
Now to the problem.
When I yesterday started to use the phone i quickly realized that the phone refuses to accept my Swedish opperators APN details... I've tried with diffrent simcards with same results.
I've even spoken with a nice lady on HTC customers support, who haven't been able to help and checked that my swedish operators (which I'm also working for) are correct.
What the hells should I do.
I want to be able to use my mobile data surf.
A friend of mine spoke about rooting the phone. Would that change and coulod the rooting chnage the software into swedish firmware.
Would appriciate all the help I could get.

When you say that it "refuses" to accept your operators APN details what do you mean?
I'm assuming you are entering them manually into Menu->Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names? Once you've entered them, are you pressing menu and then Save?
Regards,
Dave

That's correct mate and on order from the bird at Htc support center.
However. When I save and try to connect it says that the connection fail...
I'm so botherd and handyattacke.de even reply my questions.
Is there any thing I can do.
Can I root to a swedish firmware and should I say, deleate the T-mobile software branding or does the problem occur from some other reason?
