Hi,
I hope someone can help with this one. Thanks in advance.
Occasionally a triangle sign is appearing next to my reception indicator (antenna sign). If I happen to be in the phone application then the sign appears at the upper right hand corner opposite the text that reads "Last call:". I have not been able to find the meaning of this sign in the O2 manual.
Does anyone know what this tells me? Regards
There must be some hints in the manual of O2.....
The symbol is to show you, that you are yousing an other telephone network than O2.
In Germany it appears when your XDA didn't reach a O2-Signal and connects via the D1 network....
generally it means that the phone is roaming away form its standard network. i get it on my uk sim when in spain.
Thanks a lot for your help. Most appreciated.

I have got my SMS message centre number from my network provider and now want to be able to enter the info into my XDA. I cannot do it automatically by 'Get Voicemail & SMS settings' in Phone as it keeps returning an error.
What I want to know is, is there any way or any software that will allow me to be able to manually enter my networks SMS message centre number into my unit.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Can you be more specific with the type of error message you receive?
Go to Start->Inbox. Take Tools->Options and touch and hold on SMS. Lo and behold, the Message Centre(er) number.
The error message I am getting is 'Network Error - Unable to read setting from the network'.
In response to your post "Auldg" I did that and entered in the Message Centre Number for 3 (my network provider) and pressed OK. My understanding is that this would have saved the number. Trying to send a text didn't work and I still got the error message "The sim card is invalid. Please contact your service provider for a new sim".
I know there is nothing worng with the sim as it works fine the phone supplied by 3. I have tried 02's message centre number following a conversation with them and this resulted in a failed SMS send as well. I know it is not the XDA as this sends txts using an old T-mobile sim.
When I looked at the SMS centre number again after entering two different numbers neither of them were there. Trying to select a network doesnt give 3 as an available network.
Does the XDA store the SMS centre number in the SIM card or the phone. If its the phone is there a way to hard code my sms centre number into it?? This is driving me mad as I can do everything else with my 3 sim as normal just not send texts
This '3' network, what is it? Is it a GSM provider or a 3G Networks Provider?
Ah "3" !
Are you in the UK on 3? This is a new GSM/UTMS network and I wonder if the SIM card has new fancy stuff on it the the XDA doesn't know how to handle. You are clearly a VERY early adopter, bless you.
I didn't have to enter my MC number (or Voice Mail number) when using my XDA on Orange so these must be picked up from the SIM. Maybe the 3 sim holds these details in a different place from the rest of the networks?
One for the xda-developers firmware gurus to take a look at I think.
And so can one of the XDA-Developer firmware gurus shed any light on this matter???
I didn't really switch for the new technology that 3 offers, quite the opposite in fact as I din't really need to use it. The reason being was the deal on free mins they offered, but that's by the by. I can still use the 3 sim in my XDA and make / receive calls using the 02 network (this is what it uses if it cannot pick up the 3 network) and also receive texts. Just not send them.
Can any development guru's PLEASE shed any light as to this situation and may be even be able to offer a solution. If its even only that its something that can be addressed in an upcoming firmware ROM.
Some divine inspiration from the gods would be hugely appreciated.
So, let me make sure I am getting this right. You currently have no way to set your SMS service center number in the device, and if you do using the normal options the number does not stick?
OK that said you can do a registry hack telling the reg to override the SIM and use "# you choose" number. See my thread towards the bottom on how to novice level write a reg key http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1660
I haven't yet looked up where the reg key for SMS service center number is but I’m going to guess it is located right above or below the location specified in the thread.
I'm just going to guess but I don't think forcing your machine to use a SMS service center number from the device end rather than the SIM end is going to solve your can receive but not send problem. Given the service center, number is what is used to send your SMS. If your device is not reading it from the SIM and you are hand putting it in and it's not sticking this sounds like SIM network problem not device problem, could be wrong though:? Let me know overriding the SIM works. Can you use that service center number to send SMS on other Mobile Terminals (handsets/cell phone) Does a regular cell phone see the SMS service center number from the SIM? If the software set the XDA uses to talk to the GSM network is failing, but works talking to other GSM networks...sounds like a service provider protocol or provisioning problem (the way they have their GSM network set up i.e. do they have their own towers or are they ridding on someone else’s footprint but have or do not have their own switches etc.)
You might also try un-checking or checking the use Unicode option under accounts SMS in Inbox, but this should really make no difference as this is only when necessary protocol anyways, but who knows. I still think it's on your service provider’s end/SIM. The XDA just talks to the network using GSM "Standard" agreed upon protocols for GSM. Now the provider can do whatever they like. These are just suggested standards so problems (maybe) like this from occurring. Anyway, let me know if this makes any difference. Always learning :lol:
Cheers,
E.
You have hit the nail on the head exactly. When I try to enter the number manually it does indeed not stick. I have tried the sim in the original phone that it came with and it works as per normal. All the functionality is there.
The network I am on in the UK is a new network that is giving the 3G technology but this is only being rolled out and is not nationwide. They do piggyback onto another providers network (namely 02) when you are not in a 3G area so that you are always able to make voice calls / send tetxs.
I have no idea as to whether they have there own switches etc as its like trying to get blood out of a stone when talking to there customer services.
I have looked at the thread about editing / creating registry keys and did look at the key that you mentioned. Above the vmail key is an SMS key but opening it led onto all sorts of other fields and protocols which threw me. I am not sure which of these (if any) would be the correct one to start entering SMS Message Centre numbers into or what I would need to hard code it as a new registry key.
To this end I cannot see if hard coding it to make it stick works or not. Can you shed any light as to this??? Would be much appreciated if you could.
With thanks

I'm going to see if I can get my XDA to overide the SIM SMSC, I'll post success or
many thanks for your help
Hi,
after 2 month of using, I have BIG problem with my MDA2. Today, unawares, the "phone part" hangs up. I am using original ROM 1.52.00WWE, Radio 1.06.01 from T-mobile Czech.
If I turn on my MDA2, it's starts up, but there are "!" on the antenna icon. If I click the icon, my XDA2 will do soft reset.
I tryed another SIM. Same result. What's realy strange is, that I can make outgoing calls and SMS. But nobody can make call to me (it's rinning on other side, but my MDA2 do nothing).
If I go to Settings->phone->Network then I see message "No service". On manual netvork selection I can choose T-mobile CZ, but after "registering to network" window, nothing change.
Any advice?
Model: X01HT
Boot loader: 1.09
ROM: RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.EXE
Carrier: Softbank
Ok, I was using my cool English Softbank phone and I didn't answer it in time, some dood left a voice mail, and now.... the voicemail icon won't go away from the top of the screen!
SOLUTION
Here we go....
#1. Use a registry editor and goto:
HKEY_Current_User\System\Messages\vmail\Line 1\Unread
#2. There should be two items in there... the "default", and something else!
#3. Delete the thing that is not the default.
#4. Click on your voicemail icon in the top, the annoying message, and then click on "Dismiss" on the bottom right of the screen.... and voila .. it is gone for good.. WOO, I am the man! Ohhh yeah... solved such a difficult problem.. woo!
Ok, anyways, any comments or questions, or if someone has found a solution to fix the error completly or to get it to call your voicemail, please let us know what it is.
-Joe.
easier solution, just call yourself and leave another voicemail message. call your voicemail and delete. icon disappears!
Similar problem but receiving a text message
I have the same problem, I cant get rid of the voicemail icon. I have tried leaving myself a message and calling to delete it hoping this would get rid of the icon. All that happens is I receive a blank text message from my provider. I assume there is some kind of code in this message that the phone should interpret as shutting off the voicemail icon, but really do not know.
I am working with Telcel in Mexico.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Same problem with Telcel
I have the same problem with Telcel. Even if you deactivate your voicemail. The message wont leave. Telcel doesn´t have suport for most of HTC´s.
I agree that it may be some kind of SMS that telcel sends once you checked your voicemail, but snce they dont have support for HTC the phone doesn´t know how to interpret it.
I´ve been searchin in HTCspain, HTCmania, PPCWarez, etc. and this is the only convincent solution.
I did modify the registry but I needed to elete entries in :
HKEY_Current_User\System\Messages\vmail\Line 1\Unread
HKEY_Current_User\System\Messages\vmail\Line 2\Unread
HKEY_Current_User\System\Messages\vmail\Total\Unre ad
Thanks this worked fine.
I hope someone finds a way to do it automatic. Or that Telcel finally fix this issue.
Hi guys,
I just switched to Bell (Canada) and have a Galaxy S3.
I have noticed in the last day or so that I keep losing the connection with the carrier. I will try to send a text message and it says unable to send right now and the notification screen will not display bell as the carrier. A few seconds later, it will work.
My connection when it is working is quite high signal (max bars)
Does anyone know what could be going on or how I might diagnose it further?
Thanks
I have installed an app called no signal alert and it seems that I keep entering "emergency calls only" mode every few minutes.
Hello,
I have the following problem with my Moto X Style.
Out of couriousity I took a look at the screen via *#*#4636#*#* I didn't think it was possible to change anything here but problably it is because since then i'm unable to sent or receive phone calls.
4G data connecion works fine though.
Strange thing is, although I buoght the phone in The Netherlands, I can only select the US radioband in this screen. (As shown in the picture) Is it possible to change this somehow to Dutch again?
Thank you,
