Caller Id Contacts Only

Anyone have an suggestions for getting the Caller Id for Contacts Only option to work?
I'm using att&t on my 8525 and their support group is sending a new phone because they say it should work but they don't have a clue.
You set it by going to Settings > Phone > Services > Caller Id then retrieve the network settings. They are Everyone, No One or Contacts Only. Everyone and No One works but Contacts Only is same as no one.
The tech's phone he said it worked. Mine no way.
The option is there and should work with WM6 3.61.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, I have searched to no avail.
Thanks

Just a thought, but are your contacts only on sim? It may be that that feature only works for contacts stored in the phone memory. I haven't checked this feature myself, but thought I'd give a suggestion to try to troubleshoot.

My contacts are in memory...
at&t sent me a replacement phone with WM5 on it and it works on that phone. I'm not sure when in the WM6 life cycle it stopped working. I'm goint to load the plain official version of WM6 and see if it works. I also might post to vp3G's tread and see what he knows. How that we know it is not a network or hardware issure maybe someone can help me track it down.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

i have mine stored on phone and using vp3 3.61 and it shows only to my contacts

Hmm, Guess it is time to upgrade the new phone to WM6.

I'm using vp3G's WM6 v3.61 and when I enable "Contacts only" it has the same effect as if it set to "No One"...

After a year is there a fix for this?
Thank you.

love to know about SMS

Hi all, I am not familiar to forums and I ask for help because searches are fruitless.
The story is: I cannot send/receive SMS. It appear to be set correctly with telephone provider but when I open send message it takes me to Messaging which appears to be MMS (see accounts, tools configuration). Anyway I click send then it tries to establish a GPRS connection which fail because my modem is not set up? I do not have and do not want IP provider contract. I rely on wifi as much as possible but not everywhere.
The problem is: I would like to send and receive phone message only every so often.
The question is: is it possible? Is there any difference that I do not understand? Did I loose some software features?
The features are: MDA III originally from Germany, now upgraded to English with ROM 1.42.00 WWE from 09/05/05, Radio ver 1.13.00, Protocol 1337.42, ExtROM 1.42.119 WWE
I would appreciate your help because I am really embarrassed, in the lost...
Thanks

It shouldn't redirect you to MMS messaging, as this has nothing to do with SMSes.
1. Try to open messaging, select Menu->Go To->Text messages (or similar, this is from messaging on WM5). If you now press New, it should start writing normal SMS.
2. If this won;t help, you must have installed something, that took over SMS messaging and now lead to this problem. I propose backup&Hard reset and try again.
All the configuration you need is stored on you SIM card and you don't need to configure anything - in all WM5 roms SMS works always out of the box.

I cant send MMS, I tried everything.

For some reason I cant send MMS, it keeps telling the receiver the message "One or more of the message contents have been deleted by MMS adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your device."
The files iam trying to send are only 20kb. I also did put it on free creation mode. And iam using arcsoftmms v5 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476947&highlight=CRCs_ArcSoft_MMS_v5
Does anyone know anything else I can do? Should I switch back to the arcsoft that came with the extrom? Hard reset?

i don't have too much experience, when it comes to mms, but if there was a arcsoft version in the extrom coming with the rom, you certainly should use that version, because it was tested and works definitely. to do that, you don't need to hard reset, normally uninstalling the one version and installing the other one should be enough. plus you should also check, that your carrier settings for mms are right, usually the operator would send you the correct settings by extended sms.

Alright will do, I'll post back if it worked or not.
EDIT: Yay! I got it working. After numerous hours of researching and testing. All I had to do was a hard reset, and reinstall... Damn, I guess I screwed up the settings or something.

cant get the mms done
I just couldn's send or receive any mms.. Im wondering y? I already send the settings via the operator. It says i will get the sms to do the required settings.. However i do not get it. Instead, if i used other phone, i will get the settings.. Pls help

first of all, do you have arcsoft mms installed? you can check by looking it up either in the installed programs list, your extrom folder on the pc or simply by opening pocket outlook and look, whether the account picker displays an mms account. if not, search the forum for the program. there are a lot of different version floating around and you probably need to try out, which version fits your om and works for you. then you look for the settings and probably your carrier's settings sms can only work with arcsoft installed in the first place. if even then you don't receive an sms from your carrier, after you ordered it, it is a problem with your carrier and you'd probably have to contact them about it.

can't receive or send any sms

hi guys
i ve a problem i am not able to receive or send any sms. My rhodium is tilt2 , I try to chage the radio from 4.49.25.91 to 4.48.25.20 to see if that may help but nope still stuck!
I am running the official european rom from htc (sense 2.5).
Any idea?

up

Does data work? Phone calls? SMS is on the same band as phone calls...if you can make calls you should be able to send/receive SMS.

NET
Install the NET messages3.5 cab its located inthe app section of this website
www.krenisiswinmobilegamesapps.com

well yes i can receive phone call.
I am going to install NET messages3.5 cab.

I know whenever I put a sim card into my Rhodium it looks for a service to connect to, and when you pick your carrier it sets everything up. Try removing it and putting it back in. Your problem seems to me that it is something wrong with the connection setup within the SMS area.
Also, If you have a buddy with the same phone on the same provider check his settings and see if they match up.

well after reinstalling the net 3.5 net i am still stuck.
I allready retry to get the right setting via the auto configuration when you put your sim card, put didn't get any luck!

resolved
I changed the text messages service center number to
+19703769301 (for att user)
and it is working

Windows Phone MSS Picture Message

Best place to ask maybe?
A guy at work just bought a 710 and he cant accept a picture message. He is on O2 and only gets the a short message. Nothing happens when he clicks it.
I never really send picture messages myself as, but because he was having trouble I send one to a friend and asked a friend to send one back. Both of us just get links to go somewhere and log in to download the picture. We are all on different UK networks.
SO... how do I ensure a picture message shows up in the thread rather than going off and downloading it elsewhere?
Is is just a case of requesting the APN from each network provider?
I think I remember setting this up back on my Nokia Ngage, but its been a long while.
Any advise would be post helpful.

go to live.com select devices and select your phone, make sure all your sms settings are corect .. right phone number , right service and so on...

This is a network problem, not the phone. Whoever receives a link must contact their carrier for MMS/APN settings. Had this problem before with Nokia 5800, needed to go to carriers website and download APN settings.
I have an HTC Trophy and my friends have either an iPhone or Android, we can see MMS just fine, either on the same or different networks. If you receive a MMS, the picture will show there as part of the thread, otherwise if it doesn't have the right settings it will just show a link to the image.

Thank you </travis> I was sure it pretty simple but its best to ensure I know what I am asking for, before I start calling the networks. I will attempt to requested the information.
P.S: Didnt seen any SMS settings on live.

I have had a similar problem with my HD7. The problem with windows phone is you cannot change the apns for mms without a unlocked phone or at least as far as i know. When you first set up the phone it copies the apn settings of the simcard and sets them into the phone.
For some reason just out of no where mms will stop working for me and will only get the message " get attachmen" or whatever the messsage actualy says. Somtimes if i click it will work somtimes it wont. I tend to find if its someone with a really old phone sending me a mms it does not work but for instance iphone to my phone works fine with out having to download from the link. So when my phone starts acting like this i simply just soft reset it and start again.

@Jakeway: First question: does he have a working data plan and data connection? SMS (and notification of MMS) come over the voice connection (a side-channel of it, actually) but the content of MMS needs a data connection.
Second question: has he tried Nokia's Network Setup app? It's in their Marketplace section ("Nokia Collection" I believe) and should configure all the APN settings, including those for MMS, for whatever carrier you select.
@leftspeaker2000: Second question above also applies to you, except since you're on an HTC phone, you should use HTC's "Connection Setup" app. It does the same thing as Nokia's app, but for HTC.

Not sure about the Nokia app, but the HTC's connection setup does not configure APNs for all the UK networks accurately. It's generally an issue with APN-less SIMs like that of giffgaff, Tesco and Talktalk. Only 3g or data connection APN gets set up, but no MMS is set up. It's been nearly 6 months and I can't receive a single MMS on giffgaff. Tried all the settings I could possibly find on Google or Bing.
