Hi, my phone was stolen, but i forgot to write down the imei, the only thing i have is the device unique id: 10 digits with letters.
Is there any way that i can retrieve the imei?
Cheers
It should be on the box if you still have it.
sometimes its logged with your carrier. If you call them up they might be able to access it.

Hello everyone, I installed RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE on my phone and it is workig great. The problem I am having is that in my country phone numbers consist of only 8 digits fotmated XXXXXXXX or XXXX-XXXX y my contacts list BUT when someone calls me his/her name does not come up, instead I get for example: (XXX)XXX-XX because the caller ID format seems to be (XXX)XXX-XXXX (expecting an area code) So I never get to se de name of the caller, instead I get a poorly readable number. How can I fix this?
TIA!
LOL, Try Moving to America, where we use these style phone numbers!

Did you try changing your Regional Settings to match the country you're in ?
Store all phone numbers in international "+" format
The key is to store all your numbers in full international format.
+CCCAANNNNNNNNNN
where CCC is the country code, AA is the area code (omiting any leading zeros in most countries) and NNNNNNNNNN is the local phone number.
For ease of use in your address book, you can space the digits out, or add parentheses or dashes, as these are ignored at dialing/matching time. It makes the numbers easier to read.
Eg. +CCC-AA-NNNNN-NNNNN, +CCC (AA) NNNNN-NNNNN would be treated the same.
All GSM phones receive the complete international designation phone numbers on incoming calls - so it will match on the full number always.
Based on your SIM, and your country's dialing rules built into the SIM, it will also match on numbers that have no country code, but have a complete local area code (including leading zero if appropriate) and complete number. This is to allow it to match on non mobile phone originated calls. I believe it will assume your local country code based on your SIM, and apply the appropriate zero stripping rules to the received caller ID to create a fully qualified international number to match on.
This also takes all the guess work out of making calls should you ever roam into another country. For example, if you live in the USA and store a number for Ireland as 01135312345678 - this will work from the USA. But, if you travel to Ireland, where the international access code is not 011 - but rather 00 - that number will fail. Storing the numbers with the "+" prefix instead of the local international access prefix allows the SIM card to do the work. The SIM card registers on the roaming provider's nerwork, and "asks" that network how to dial a "+".
Finally, the presentation of the number on screen is just a factor of the application that is displaying it. If you use the international format for your numbers, they will successfully match, and will display the number in the format in which you have stored them in your address book. If they don't match, they will display using the default number interpreting logic of whatever ROM you have loaded. For most of us here, that would be the Brighpoint USA ROM or the T-Mobile ROM - both of which try to format numbers as USA style AAA-XXX-NNNN
Hope this helps
Thank you, I entered +COUNTRY_CODE in the phone settings call options and it is working now.
Thanks a lot!!

How to go the phone settings call option
Solved.
Hey folks,
I've searched the forum and Googled this issue, and I haven't seen it in quite this way, so I'm going to just ask it. And maybe this is is just a misunderstanding of how Caller ID works on the Excalibur, so please correct me if I am wrong:
My Caller ID works fine for those numbers that are in my Contact List, or course. By this, I mean I see both name and phone number. But for unknown numbers, I see just the number and no name. Which is annoying, to say the least.
I have noticed this more since I had to restore my Contacts a couple weeks ago, although I don't think that has anything to do with it. I see no Phone setting that affects this.
Okay, so the question is, is this the natural state of affairs for Caller ID in wm6.1? If the number is not in your contacts, you don't get full Caller ID? Or am I missing a setting or a registry entry or something?

How does the phone know more than the number of the caller if not in contacts???
I was thinking of the way my landline phone (yes, I still have one of those, but I may be canning it soon) gets its Caller ID information. Verizon just sends it down the line to the phone. I thought T-Mobile did the same thing, the service just sends the necessary info down the line to the phone, but I thought that was a given (Caller ID) with wireless phone service. Maybe I'm mistaken, which maybe someone could clarify for me?
Now to me, what I'm getting seems like "partial" Caller ID, the number without the name? Or maybe I'm just totally confused on it all, been a rough week...
I have yet to see Caller ID show a name on a cell phone if it's not in your contacts. Verizon included.
I didn't mean Verizon's wireless service, I meant their landline service.
Never mind, went over to T-Mobile, that's the way it's sent down, number only. Thanks.

^^^^^^^^^^^yup dont forget fido too lol
i have a lot of phone numbers on my mobile.
i downloaded all the numbers from Gmail when i entered my gmail email and password.
now: i travel a lot so i have the important numbers installed in my mobile with my country international number and the not so important numbers with the normal phone number i use when i am in my country.
all of the numbers that starts with the phone numbers with out the country code, the name that i have put that number to will not appear but if i put it in international code the name appears with out a problem.
if i call jack for example with the international code it will appear like a normal call in the phone log, and when he calls me it will appear like a new call and will not tell me that i have called him before.
so no one has this problem?
shod i factory reset the phone?
So the problem is it doesn't match the number with a contact when they call you, unless you saved the same number with the country code?
Just a thought but is your phone set to your own region? I haven't looked at the matching code so it could be that it should simply match any number which contains the number in your contacts, regardless of country code. It could also be a match against your Local (regional setting). I don't really have this problem personally since I always enter all numbers with the country code since I also travel abroad often enough for it to be worth the effort.
EDIT: You can check the code here.
what will this code do?
i had the galaxy S with out problems, now with the galaxy nexus when i look at the call log, some times you can see the name some times no.
I've come to a little problem with some changes my carrier did with the way I review my line account information. It all starts by typing *222# to display the information, which a couple of weeks ago was fine, it returned a message with all the information, Account balance, Remaining minutes, etc... 'cause it's a prepaid line. The my carrier (Uff!) in Colombia, took the decision to change the system, and now instead of showing directly the information, now shows a menu with some options. Of course each option is related to a function, the first one would be to review the account information which is the one I need to check my remaining minutes in the account. The problem is... with Windows Phone (currently updated to version 7.10.8107) when you get that type of carrier messages, there's no way to display the keypad to send the number option and receive the information I'm looking for.
Now the tricky part, is there a way, through the Registry to enable the keypad when the carrier sends that message? Otherwise I'm screwed... If anyone knows how to bypass the fact that the system disables the keypad option in the options bar, would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.
One thing you might be able to do is save the contact (*222#) in your address book, then put commas after it (press-and-hold on the keys to access additional keys) and add the numbers after it. That way, the phone will dial the initial number, wait (I think it waits one second per comma?) and then dial the number. No idea if this will work with a GSM shortcode (what you're using), though.
Thanks, I'll try and tell if it worked... (hope)

By the way, this really belongs in Q&A. The simple litus test dividing line is generally "Are you offering something" (Dev and/or hacking) or "are you just asking for something" (general or Q&A)
I have been having this problem on my HTC one m8 since I bought it. I save a number without a country code. I receive a call from the number it doesn't show the contact name I've linked it to. It just shows the number with the country code +XXX 123456 And if I save a contact with a country code when I receive a call it has the country code and doesn't show the contact name and only the number without country code 123456. I have to save both the numbers in the contact info for it to show the caller ID.
This is really annoying because when I sometimes receive messages or calls by numbers that I have saved onto my phone. I can't tell who they are. Would really appreciate any solutions.
