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.

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...
I was able to successfully load on WM6 on my TYTN but I only get the number now for caller id and do not get the name and number as our carrier now sends this in the CID stream. Does anyone have the same issue and have subscribed to name and number display? There might be a registry setting I need to change.
thought I would bump this
I'm on Rogers, and u get the names only if have them in your phonebook. (Prefferably on the phone!)
Rogers has a name caller id (even if it isn't in your phone book) available
you have to make sure its part of your plan i think rogers has 2 types of caller id basic and an advanced which shows the names
you need to have a name display service on ur rogers plan, which coz $2 per mth!
the problem isn t the 2$,
i pay it but wm6 doesn t display name ... well sleuth, black majik and the official htc where not displaying the name...if somebody can help us with that
thanks in advance

As a Rogers dealer, I can attest to the fact name display doesn't work by default in WM6.
I'm thinking that name display is enabled when the Rogers Ext Rom or config files run on first boot with the device. I have access to these devices, just don't really know how I would dump this tweak from a stock device. If anyone has any idea, I'd be more than happy to try an help out.
I do know that Name Display is an enhancement unique to Rogers and that all of our launched devices have to have special things done to them to enable the feature.
hey Ender666666 , that would be nice if you could upload the Extended ROM on the wiki at the Available Extended ROM Versions
--
he's right, the tytn is not showing the name of the callers that aren't in my contacts.
macpapi are u on rogers?
do you pay the display callers name?
for the one who doesnt know that service click here
I'm on Rogers and pay for the service... it worked great on my Nokia N95... but since I have a non Rogers TyTN - the service has never worked.
I've never seen a Rogers version of the TyTN. So I'm not sure if it's enabled on those.
hey Ender666666 are u sure the name display work on a tytn from rogers ?
thanks
Nope. I don't have an unaltered one in stock at the moment (they're oin backorder nationwide) but I'll see if a co-worker can confirm it.
If I was to dump the Ext Rom, how woukd I do that?
I can confirm after doing some tests that it doesnt work on the tytn. I pulled out my sim and put it in another rogers phone and it displayed the caller name and I can guarantee it's wasnt in my address book. We really need to find a way to make it work.
Also, the dumped rogers rom can be downloaded here ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Hermes/HTC_TyTN_Rogers_Eng_1.34.631.14.zip. I extracted it yesterday but dont know what to look for or if it contains the extended roms.
thanks for the link macpapi
I'm on fido (which is Rogers) and I dont get names displayed on my TyTN. When inserting the SIM in my Nokia, they display. My friend who has the Rogers TyTn (i have the softbank) gets the names displayed.

Vodaphone TP2
Guys, i'm looking at also getting a TP2 but looking on the Vodaphone Uk website it looks totally unbranded, are you referring to logos on the handset or just software customisations for Vodaphone ?

There's a few Vodafone customisations:
1. Physical logos on the phone.
2. Red Vodafone logo on phone startup
3. 'Vodafone theme' in use, which makes some stuff red, no obvious Vodafone branding that I've seen. Can be changed.
4. Default email signature of "Sent from my Touch Pro 2 on Vodafone" or similar. Can be changed.
It's no 4 they're talking about in this thread.
Overall I'd say the customisations are extremely mild and benign, and besides the Vodafone startup message - and of course the physical branding - they can all be disabled.
The biggest change from a completely unbranded phone is of course that you can't use generic HTC ROMs and have to wait for your operator's version. I haven't yet worked out from where I am supposed to get Vodafone specific HTC ROMs.
Hi I was wondering if someone could help me, I've been trying to unlock my HTC S620 Excallibur all night. It's locked to BT with its stock firmware. I came to the conclusion that I would have to buy a code. Then found I could flash a hacked rom. Which I've managed to do fine. The problem is it won't connect to any network. I've tried numerous WM 6.5 based roms but get same problem with every one. Tried messing with everything, changing connection settings an locals etc. Btw I'm from the U.K, trying to use an O2 Genie sim in it, never had problem with the phone. Had it's contract terminated early, is there any way they can block hardware when disconnecting services? Or does it still need unlock code even with a cooked rom? I've tried an orange, t-mobile and O2 sim in it. The new number for each sim shows in the call settings, and any sim related things like shipped phone numbers and settings. But in the call options the region, area, voice mail and message center numbers are blank. Could that be a problem? Shouldn't they configure themselves. Argh I'm so confused. I'de like to use my S620 as a phone instead of an expensive mp3 player.
Thanks in advance for any help.
