Request: Carrier specific boards

well, baisically what the title says... Some carriers have specific issues, this would make it easier to locate the information.

That would be a good idea.. But think about it.. If people have a problem with their device not being able to connect to Orange, as an example, they will propably write in their devices forums and not the carrier forum, as they maybe won't know that it is a carrier based problem, but thinks it is device based..

Keyboard nuisance

Can someone please tell me how to fix the following?
If I am on the homescreen [Kavana 6.1] and I want to call someone, I will type in their name. If for example I want to call someone named Jill, I can type it out and it will appear on the screen as "JILL" and match up to the proper contact. However, if I type a name like Sammy, it will alternate between letters and the numeric keys to produce something like "4#.."
How can I change this?

same thing
i had the same thing happen to me earlier but the name that i was looking for was in the list too so i just selected it. no biggie.

I highly don't think there is a fix.

hhaha

It just sucks when you have a dozen people whose names begin with S LOL
Sucks that there seems to be no fix to it

Even the "rose" rom does it. Sorry NRG lol
I have the rose rom and i tried looking for "Jenn"
What is going on is that if the letter falls on a number in the search field, it is defaultet to showing the number. The phone thinks you wanna enter a number to dial.

Contacts of Same Name Merging

This isn't really a Desire specific annoyance, I think it's since Android 2.1
All contacts with the same name would automatically merge on the phone, although they are different people (with the same name)
Does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging ?

You mean,they have same name and surname?
In that case,you can use their miidle name or nickname.

But the database is used for business so they don't have nicknames and a lot of them don't have middle names, so the only way is if there's a way to turn it off or remove the code to do it

let me try to sum what you are trying to say
1. Xavier Spencer 12321456
2. Xavier Spencer 13546798
i dont really think this is a problem "frankly". just my opinion ....

I'm not being funny...but exactly how many people with the same first AND last name do you have on your phone?
Seems like a pretty rare problem. I've seen people with the same name on the Exchange server at work and they all then have to provide a middle initial. Failing that we all have our departments abbreviation at the end of our name.

Pretty sure the question is, "does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging", NOT do u agree this is a problem...

I had problem with Name and Name*, they were merged so i ended up sending nasty message to neighbor instead my girlfriend...

I am pretty sure that this is not a problem. I don't see how anyone can tell by the name that it is a different person if it is the same name . Unless u are a psychic

I got contact pictures for every person, so yes I do know the difference between them, but when they merge I can no longer recognise each person
And you all have your opinion whether you think this is an issue or not, but I'm just simply asking does any of you know how to stop it, I don't care whether you think there's a need to stop it

Just put the company name as Lastname.
So Mr Joe Another from Contoso Corp would be
First Name: Joe
Last Name: Another Contoso
Whilst Joe Another from Kebabs Limited would be
Joe
Another Kebabs
?

I wish I could do that with them all, I'd be happy with that, but my dad has the same annoyance and he has a bit of OCD so it's all got to be perfect
If no one knows, I'll try opening up the APK later and try stopping it myself

Once again you appear to have missed the question...
Anyway I think the point is that most non-android handsets would ask if you wanted to merge the contacts or create them separately instead of assuming they should automatically be merged. This isn't specific to just business contacts, my father and I have the same name (which by no means is an uncommon occurrence) so anyone with an Android handset would have both our numbers in the one contact. This is far from ideal and although there may be workarounds such as nicknames, there should be a better solution.

Try this:
Create new contact with same name.
Save contact then open it.
You should see link icon in the top right corner.Click on it,then select Clear suggestions.
After that,you will have 2 contacts with same name.
Just tested for myself. It works!

I'm kind of not stock anymore
I'm running stock android so the contacts doesn't have link
Thanks for the suggestion though

What does T-CDMA 64 mean?

At the bottom of my lock screen, that is what is displayed. I know that CDMA references Verizon's type of communication as opposed to GSM. I'm curious primarily what the 64 means.

I believe it refers to the amount of informational data (digital signal) it can transfer at once 64kbs.. That's how cdma networks work in case you didn't know
-if you want to change it you have to edit the eri.xml file in the xml folder found in framework-res.apk

Interesting... But that doesn't sound like something we would want to dive into without having read up on how to do this safely... Got any idea on where we could read up on changing this setting, and possibly the theoretical/optimal setting for Verizon?

I believe what Agraceful means is we can edit the message that prints there, not the setting.

@Crack920 I've changed the prefix of the thread as it didn't qualify for the prefix "Development". Please don't change it back and read the stuck guidance threads! Thanks for your cooperation.

Only one UK network on it (EE) and one MVNO which is on EE

what is this?

sorry, would you please give some instruction on it? there is no hidden menu for the code

Open the dialer and enter the code ... that will bring you into an app ... but then what to do further exactly I don't know ;-)

What should we do with this file?

Seeing that this user has only posted 12 messages, I'm guessing this was among their first 10. Last I remember, XDA requires 10 messages to be posted by a user in order to get some kind of further permissions, although I don't remember what, although that was back on the old forum software. These days there are also achievements to get "XP" and "levels", and that might've been one.
Long story medium, the user likely posted nearly useless information to get their post-count up to 10. As his only useful comment says in the OP "no thanks". I'm not even downloading something that I don't know what I'm expecting, much less looking in the zip or doing anything else, and some of the settings accessible via the dialer code are likely dangerous unless you know exactly what you're doing, so without actual instructions detailing what the code has to do with the title of the thread, I wouldn't bother.
I'm tempted to report the thread. Normally I wouldn't bother as this kind of thread from new users is a dime a dozen but it's pretty blatantly a misleading thread title without more information, and with no description of what the file is supposed to be, and the only words in the OP being "no thanks" just screams "what the bloody hell" to me.

I guessed it was fake, however, the man was deluded to the end, I also advise not to trust this. I was surprised that this has been hanging around for so long.
@edit
Probably the author cannot write a tutorial in English, so if someone could help, it would be very cool. It might work after all

I have looked into the file and it's generic code to enable VOLTE ( kind of a fix ) nothing suspicious in the file. Lol some of the xmls in the zip are from Samsung's phone. If you don't know what to or how to enable VOLTE. Don't download the app. Although Pixel 6 and Pro supports VOLTE out of the box. In my instance I have enabled E-Sim and can see option for calls over WIFI which worked just fine. The OP has just copied files from other thread and posted here. Makes no sense. Btw username checks out You can cross reference the settings posted in xmls's to your phone.

no,the file zip from pixel 6 pro fireware.
the code setting has a path,can be modify it load.

i'm sorry my english is not good.

I tried to change a setting ... then reboot ... but the change gets undone ... I guess that's sorta normal as the underlying XML files are in read only storage (guessing). So this is probably un-usable to make permanent changes.

as i know tht, there is a xml file contains all the carriers which are available in volte and 5g, but it could only be modify in root.

Has anyone managed to do this? It would be very helpful for a person who doesn't want to root the phone for the time being and lives outside the countries supported by Google

我的手機現在壞了，沒辦法測試，在返廠修了。。那是我root後提取出來的文件，並不是三星的文件，是pixel6固件提取出來的。
My phone is broken now and I can't test it, those files were extracted before I rooted it
