This is one of my biggest disappointments on the 6700's and win mobile devices in general WinMobile5 in particular.
In northern Illinois even if you are calling within your area code, you need to dial the area code.
Being as I dial most of my clients only once from my cell, I don't want them all to be added to my contacts. And since I am calling while driving a truck and looking at a piece of paper dialing on the screen. I WANT TO HAVE A PREPEND OPTION for my area code (unless I specificly dial a different one).
Most $39 phones have this option, and most palm phones have this option.
It can't be that hard to program it (can it?).
After doing much searching, and not getting much closer, it seems (per MS website http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/pocketpc/useyourphone.mspx#settings ) there may be a phone setting that is not enabled that would enable "dialing rules".
These would be in the same area of settings as network time synch, and voicemail notification, etc..
Does anyone know of any registry edits to show *all* phone settings?
There are a few listed around here and on other forums (mostly the same 'hacks' posted over again all over the place).
I have tried all I've found, and while they have enabled what they say, this isn't included (so far).
What I'm looking for is specificly "dialing rules".
Yes, I know they are listed in network settings, but these do not affect voice dialing.
Anyone have any ideas...
Anyone else wish this worked...
Can anybody help me out here?
hacks, freeware, commercial, black magic rituals, anything???
(I have searched and searched and searched...)
My appologies in advance if it is not, but is this in the right forum??
I really thought I would find some enlightenment here.
fixed dialing
I do believe on the T-mobile they call it fixed dialing
Re: fixed dialing
Do they have this on any WM5 devices?

WM5 Fixed Dialing
I was going though WM5's menu on HTC TytN and saw the Fixed Dialing under the Start>Settings>Personal>Phone>More
Fixed Dialing is the last option under the More Tab if this is what your are looking for.

I thought about using this feature, but I could not find how to change its options (such as "number patterns"). Do anyone know how to use it ?
Not sure if this is the one:
Start > Setting > Connections > Connections > Advanced > "Dialing Rules"
Let me know if this work for you.
I believe the O2 dial wizard has this (sort of) functionality. You could use the Calling Card function to, instead of storing calling card prefixes, store the area code for the areas that you are in. Then, when you've entered the number for the person you want to call, you press the button with the Magic Wand and Handset in the Phone program, and it prefixes your number with the prefix previously defined.
You might also consider looking at the MyPrefixDial program (freeware - see http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/myprefixdial.shtml), although I think this only works with predefined contacts....

THIS IS THE MOST LIKELY PLACE - however on the xv6700 (apache on Verizon) this option is not there! (imagine that) anyone know how to get this option to show, so I could play with it?
TIA

While it looks like it could be the right place - No this is for network connections (i.e. internet, or VPN) only not for voice dialing options.
Thanks for trying though.

I don't think the O2 dial wizzard does axactly what I need, but I would be very willing to try it out - I have done a little searching for it and haven't found a cab file for it, do you know where one is?
bump
anyone know anything new?
anyone have any new thoughts on this?
Does any other wm5 or wm6 device have anything like what I'm looking for?
I am just giving a bump, I really wish there was a way to do this...
Any clues out there?
Do any win mobile phones that you know of offer dialing rules??
well over 1000 views and no one has any solutions, or even hints at something that may help?
Wow, I thought with all the developing going on here this should be stupid simple, guess not.
Maybe, it's not that important to everyone because they don't have to dial local area codes.
You all will have to eventually you know, it may be months, or years, but eventually everyone will have to.
Ah well, thanks for looking anyway.

I have read dozens of topics on flashing and gps for the xv6900. I flashed using imcokes unlocker, the new sprint radio/rom and finally omjs rom
now I went into my phone settings (via start - settings - phone location and set location instead of 911 on)
I use gps viewer and open google maps but no gps. should I try returning my location setting to 911 and then open gps viewer? I mean this should work but no go
and yes I have googled and search ppgeeks and xda vogue upgrade. no answer. can I get some help
For the first time, stand outside on a sunny day and be patient, it took me about 3 days to finally get it working solid. Keep the "Location On" setting, I don't think it will work with "911 Only"
okay I did get a satellite (5 really) on google maps 2 days ago outside but nothing since. I will try again but flash and everything was alright it was perfect even just weird. but I find my mogul as well did not pick up a gps signal either. that's weird
I don't use GPS a lot, so no guru on it working, but GPS Viewer, built in the ROM I'm using, picked up various sats for me. I used GPS Viewer first, only to see how well the GPS was in fact working, it seemed to be like a meter on muchsignal it was getting. From what I've seen, if you flashed it wrong, your Vogue wouldn't even turn on, so that shouldn't be the problem. There's really only a few things that come into play when getting it to work so check this:
"Location On", like you already have,
System Settings > External GPS:
"Programs" tab: Port "COM4"
"Hardware" tab: Port "NONE", Baud Rate "4800"
"Access" tab: Check "Manage GPS Automatically"
These settings may come like these as default on your ROM.
I've also seen one reg edit that may help:
HKLM > Software > HTC > SUPL AGPS > GPSMode
Try changing from 2 to 1 or 4, helped some people I believe.

How do you mean by it boots up like Alltell? If you see an image with their logo, it doesn't mean much of anything, it's only an image, you can change it. But it sounds like you ran the RUU (ROM Update Utility) to install the Alltell ROM, which is a key step in upgrading the ROM. But did you unlock it first with ImCokeMan's unlocker, version 2.31 I believe?
Also, press & hold the power and camera buttons, then soft reset, it should but you in a multi-colored screen, the bootloader, what does it say?
Hi I've got a BlackStone but I can't make the GPS go right!
Which COM should I choose, Which rate? 4800? and in which place: Software or Hardware?
Finally what's the config for googleMaps?
Thank so much...

try com 4, rate 9600.
Forgive me if I understood your problem wrongly. While the HD has built-in GPS it is not supplied with any software or app associated with it for navigating or even for displaying coordinates or compass navigation.
Once you download the Google Maps (which also supports, for some countries the street map display) application onto your device, it will make use of the GPS and show you your position, with moving map display as you drive, quite smoothly and accurately. It will also show your approximate position indoors without GPS (using A-GPS and the cell site ID supporting LBS).
For point to point navigation and voice prompts guess one has to use 3rd party app like Garmin XT, TomTom; but I have not used these.

yes but in the software or in the hardware field?
You need to state what software you are using. If its Google maps just let Windows manage the GPS.
Why doesn't the GPS Photo work. It says that GPS is not active or something. What's up with that?

Thank you, but it doesn't work so!!! What's wrong???
I had the same problem, no one can't help me. Any gps software I used couldn`t find gps reciver, I've tried any combinations with COM ports....nothing. After 1 month and about 10 gps software I removed SIM card....and BINGO!!!! My old SIM card generate problem that nothing can find built-in gps reciver in my Touch HD. Try without SIM card and if it works go to operator and replace to new SIM card
Endow
Not at all
Sorry about this, but your tips does'nt help me:
I removed the SIMcard but the GPS in GOOGLEMAP didn't work anyway!
I tried to let it be managed by windows and to set it on COM4 with 9600bauds but no options succeded!
I can't understand what's wrong!!!
Another thing
Furthermore, when I set up the GPS-params in the params-application of windows mobile 6, the hard port (COM4) I chose isn't recorded by the software!!!
Maybe it's a hint for the answer?
Help me, geeks of HTC!
go to google and download the lastest ver. google map.
try to go to a window or a open space and turn on the google map. press option and try to click use gps , and see any reading on the top right of the map screen.
dont need to adjust any com 4,5,6 things.
once you got a lock on gps. you can close the google map and start to look out for third party nav software. try it.
Mine works perfectly fast at
COM: 4
BAUD: 57600
Im using iGuidance 2009
does ur phone need to go online when activating the gps? my car's gps doesnt need online yet the device can detect its location. however when i use google map, the phone just went online and try to search for my location. not too ideal as i have to pay for every kb sent/recieved.
Ooo
Maybe I will try to refresh the GPRSSettings with the soft designed for it!
I will reply when I'll know further about it...
Mine shows correct location when I set port - Com4 and BAUD: 57600 on Google maps for just a second. Then it jumps to some other continent and says GPS not available and shows the help dialog. Allowing windows to manage gps also gives same results what am i doing wrong?? or is it a limitation of blackstone/google maps app..
Reply
I've tryed what you done but it didn't succeded!
In the GMaps List I see: "COM4:" and there is nothing after the ":" !
When I confirm this update, the soft tell me that he can't found a device on this COM!!!
ok, my settings, com4, bd 4800, let windows manage (which kinda negates any settings before hand) Google maps set to let windows manage. My GPS locks well and always finds plenty of satalites, so i dont understand why you guys are having problems.
Howver, on my polaris with cooked rom, my google maps does misbeahve sometimes when the gps is locked and the map will suddenly say im in hong kong when im in the uk!! (i even unistalled google that was included in rom and downloaded new version from google)
So i believe in my limited wisdom that its probably a rom issue (radio more likely).
What i do have to decide is if the official 1.56 rom is worth flashing or not (still on 1.14)
What you guys think?
Reply
I'm not sure to understand you because I come from Switzerland and I main speek French.
YOu think that it is a ROM version's problem? Which one should I install? (and how to do it ?)
Thanks so much!
P.S.: I don't have changed any ROM or Radio Version in this HTC Touch HD!
I have never fiddled with ROM but I have same issue. google maps jumps continent!! momentarily despite 7 satellites. May be an issue with Google maps itself??

Hi there,
is there any possibility to remove this notofication when having no radio coverage (as in my underground garage)...
I'm a bit fed up with it, always switching it away...
thx and br
is there no solution?

is there nobody who has an idea how to disable the "no connection possible" notification?

You will need to supply information as to which ROM you are using.
On my stock Tmobile US ROM, I don't get this notification.
I use the latest HTC ROM (6.5) with Sense 2.5 but I had this notification on every ROM I had installed (6.1 and the 6.5 from November)
to explain it once more. when I go in my underground garage (where I have no radio coverage) and I stay there for 2 minutes, then the notification comes which says: "no connection possible".
I would like to disable this, but in Software there is no possibility.

This sounds more like you phone is trying to make a data connection, rather than a phone connection. I do get this alert when there is no phone service available - but only if I try and go online for some reason. Are you using some applications that automatically connect to the Internet?
yes, the weatherapplication, active sync, etc.
and I think you are right, regarding the data connection. is there any possibility to switch off this data connection notification?
thx and regards
*push*
does anyone have an idea?
Youre probably going to have to edit your registry if you want to keep your weather, etc running and disable the notification. Justt google "windows mobile registry editor" and im sure youll find it. After installing it comes the fun part. You get to search your registry for the value that controlls that notification, it will have a name indicating the function, something like "DataConnectionNotification" or something similar, and its value will be 1. You will want to change it to 0. Findinf it will be the tough part, theres a ton of folders in the phones registry, and some of the names of the values can be kinda cryptic. But you should be able to find it with a little time and common sense. I would start my search in HKCU/Software/HTC/builtin/ril (might not be exact path) and if its not in there, expand your search. Maybe someone will be kind and post exactly where it is in your registry, I cant search rt now Im on my phone
Thx for the advice
the only thing I found was on:
HKCU/Software/HTC/ConnectionSetup
there I changed the value "Enable Autonotify" from 1 to 0
but it seems not to be the right one since the notification is not gone...
it would be nice if somebody could help me finding the right registry entry?
Hi,
after few experiments with some cooked Rom (Energy, Leo, Athine) I have problem(ehm, ) with weather and my current position which is always presented only with text "My location" and not with the name of location(as previously, but the data are correct for my location).
I tried Task29(format my TP2), few hard resets - but nothing positive, always My location with any ROM/version also with versions which I have before and they showed correct location name.
What could be wrong ?
Thx.
PS.:
Always:
- 3G is disabled
- AGPRS is ON
- GPS help data are downloaded
- I use radio 4.49.25.91
I have exactly the same problem, see my posts here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6089493&postcount=563 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6109534&postcount=565. It seems to be a problem with O2 Slovakia, if there is nobody else who has such a problem.
Interesting is that this function was approximately a 1-2 weeks before OK.
So we can think that O2 disabled lately some localization function and so we can only whistle ?
It seems that something happens at Easter, because before Easter it was working without problem. I already sent a question to O2 Slovakia but till now no response, maybe you should do it also so I'm not alone with such question
OK, I do it too
I asked HTC support for this problem and here is the response:
Dear Daniel, Thank you for contacting us in regards to weather updates, I can help you with that. If there is a set point at which the updates began to stop working it would suggest that something has changed witht he location service in your area. It may be that your network have not correctly updated the time with Daylight Savings and this is causing a conflict with the application. Are you able to test with a different network SIM card in the device? I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Mike B HTC
So I have possibility to try it only with T-Mobile sim card but the result was still the same :-( and if there is a problem with DST on GSM operator side I don't know how can I check it.
Your text was very good at the beginning response from HTC, but the next text ... .
I can check it with Orange SIM through weekend and we will see result, although what it will be valid if I'm O2 user ? D)
I think this isn't related to some particular provider. I've got the same problem since a few weeks, not sure if it's since Easter. Weather data doesn't update on 'My location', and what should be the place where I am at this very moment, shows only 'My location'. I'm here in the netherlands, provider is Hi (part of KPN Mobile), but on local fora the issue is also known with other providers!
So what the h**k is going on?

For me it was a wrong APN setting that suddenly changed??? So check you're APN settings and see if it helps
Hm, so it's not my case-I checked it and my APN is set correctly but "My location" stay always here
I think if it was set wrong so I would have still had no internet access with another apps, no ?
I think that only way is to create some pressure on HTC by opening the case on their support. So everybody who has such a problem should contact HTC support. Then they maybe do something with this issue.
Nothing happens ..... Still only "My Location"

I had an old or backup APN server set. I had internet etc but my location didn't work.
My brother had the same issues with his HD2. His APN also suddenly changed to an old APN. And because you are all from Slovakia you could check of these settings changed and if you're provider has an alternative apn.
are htc geo service and cll services running. You can check with dotfred taskmanager
Yes both services running ... :-(
Seriously Try This
I haven't heard anyone mention flashing their radio on their phone. Seems like you should try this. It take 5 min or less, and doesn't alter your phone in any other way. Below is a link.
If you search for this MY Location topic, you would find that most people were able to resolve this same problem by trying a few different radio's and seeing what happens.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
OK so I flashed new radio -> 4.49.25.77 and I can say only 2 things:
lower battery drain or better phone life with the current ROM (EVO 9.1) (it's on you-how you taking it )
with weather is nothing happens, it's same as with "My location" 4ever
So what's next ?
Well, I found a solution. Mentioned here a few posts above, I changed the APN portalmmm to Internet (provider here= KPN/Hi). Nothing happened. Then I deleted the text, so nothing is filled in at APN. And then 'My location' worked again.
Another tip at Tweakers.Net (Dutch forum): disable HDSAP
I tried it and:
without APN point I can't connect to internet=no weather update,which is logical
I disable HDSAP always after flashing ROM and also no change
I tried 2 different radios for my TOPAZ but it didn't resolve the problem with the showing only "My Location" :-(
