Hello,
I'm in favour of clean PC and would like to remove any memory residents program I don't need. I'm confused by names and the reason some of the programs residing under startup are used.
Can somebody shed a light what following programs are used for and wether they are paramount for operation of device
1. aFlashman
2. cFlashman
3. Handsfree
4. Phonext
5. poutl <-- I understand this is pocket outlook but why does it needs to be started on startup?
6. SMSreceiver
7. Ussd
8. wm03hotfix

Needed to read and write contacts to flash if you use the 'Permanent save' feature.
3. Handsfree

Probably for use as the name indicates
4. Phonext

Program we installed to do single-handed dialing and distinctive ringing (which is why it's loaded at startup)
5. poutl <-- I understand this is pocket outlook but why does it needs to be started on startup?

USSD
Unstructured Supplementary Services Data
USSD is a means of transmitting information or instructions over a GSM network. USSD has some similarities with SMS since both use the GSM network's signaling path. Unlike SMS, USSD is not a store and forward service and is session-oriented such that when a user accesses a USSD service, a session is established and the radio connection stays open until the user, application, or time out releases it. This has more in common with Data than SMS. USSD text messages can be up to 182 characters in length.
STK is for SIM ToolKit - It should not cause any problems unless you have a really old SIM Card.
I think USSD is basicaly a thing for ie. GSM banking - it allows the network to send you binary SMSes deciphered by the SIM (when I login with my GSM key to a bank account, I receive a message with temporary password, it is not sent through ordinary SMS, but delivered to the SIM toolkit area which is protected by PIN)

Fixes a problem where the test versions of WM2003 get slower and slower aafter every time you reset them because they keep adding events to the notify DB. We added it to the ROM.
to check my balance in my prepaid in malaysia, you type *122#. then a USSD notification pops up, something like when you type *#06# to get the IMEI number. So I think its for communicating with the network on another level. I can even turn on / off my voicemail with other commands, and still invoke the USSD notification popup.

I have searched for this and found the same question posted in a HD2 Android category, but there were no responses... so asking for myself in here.
I have all my phone numbers listed in my contacts with the preceeding area code, as I often travel outside of the local area and need those area codes included in my contacts numbers..... ie: all my phone numbers are 10 digits in length.
However, there doesn't seem to be a requirement for the area code to be sent, when a caller has Caller-ID enabled. In other words, I receive some calls from contacts in my phone, but if their phone doesn't include the area code in their Caller-ID, then my phone doesn't recognise or identify the number. Consequently, when hanging up from those calls, it constantly asks me if I want to save the number.
Note - it isn't a permanent thing. Many incoming calls DO identify correctly, as the area code has obviously been sent with C-ID.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Obviously I COULD go thru every contact and manually add another non-area-coded phone number - perhaps under an obscure phonebook entry, like "pager"... but surely this is something that one would expect be handled automatically by the phone... not by duplicating entries as a work-around.
What would happen for business-people who travel internationally - most of their contacts would also include the "+61" (or whichever) country code also.....
Nobody ???
Bumping again ????
Anybody have any clues to this?
Did you try disabling the Area Code Prefix setting in Settings -> Call Settings ?

Thanx mate for your reply.
Sorry took so long.... my phone has been in for warranty repair (unrelated matter to this) for the last 7 weeks, so I haven't logged onto xda in that time !!!
No..... I haven't tried disabling the AC Prefix setting. I will have a look at that and see if it makes any difference.
One additional comment..... I am also having the REVERSE problem.... in that SOME people who ring me on their mobiles, the caller ID is also sending the +61 (Australia) country code in front of their mobile number too.... so again, my phone isn't recognising them as being the "same" number as what is stored in my phonebook ????
Will try the disable thing you mention and report if it works.
Sorry mate... cannot find the setting you mention.
Could you explain please exactly where it is ?

Or you could turn off having the phone ask to to add the number to your contacts.
On the US T-Mobile phone it is:
Activate phone screen
Menu
Options
Menu
Network Selection
Advanced tab
Turn off the feature to "Add new phone number to People at end of call"
I'm using the NRG ROM.
Thanks stevedebi.
Sorry - I mite not have been properly clear.
The issue isn't being asked to save a new number.
The issue is.... the phone does not recognise a number - mobile or landline - if there is an area-code or country-code prefixed to the number (or vice versa) with the entry in the phone book.
Eg: ALL my contacts saved in my phone have their mobile numbers WITHOUT the +61 country code.... and ALL landline numbers are saved WITH area-codes.
Now - depending on my contact's phone operators, they sometimes send with, or without, those prefixes in their caller ID's.
Consequently - on those occasions.... my phone does not recognise incoming calls or messages as having come from my contacts, due to the extra numbers at the beginning.
Surely this is a software issue from HTC? I mean, surely the software should be able to query an incoming called ID (either with or without prefixed-codes) with a saved number in the contacts/phonebook (with or without prefixed-codes)... ???
Bumping again ?
Sorry to be repetitive.... still looking for an answer to this ???
Check you registry setting for "HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch" value=?!?
try to reduce the number for "Value" by 1 and try.
This is for the number of digits your phone will check when comparing incoming numbers with stored names.
Thanx Omar,
Will try that. Question though.... does it check the phone number (by number of digits) in reverse order? ie: setting a particular number will have no effect, if it checks in normal forward order, as it's PREFIXES that are making things wrong.... so the phone needs to ONLY check the LAST 10 digits.... not the first 10. This will eliminate the issue with any country-code added to the front of a number... but will not help with a local area code, as these are dependent on the callers' carrier, if they send the area code in the CID or not
From my experience with my HTC phones, it checks the last digits.
I have number saved with the +974 international code (for Qatar), & when local call come in, they only show the local format (without +974) & the caller ID still recognises the names. Our local numbers are 8 digits, so I have the registry value set at 7 or 8 & it works fine.
Vibrate on Call Connect. Turn away from the peak of radiation.

what he means is that when the call is connected radiation is at its peak
so if u wait for it to connect and then put it near your ear you will save yourself from radiation
however i can not tell if the program itself works
he has only 1 post
You can just watch for the call timer to kickin for GSM phones, then place the phone in your ear.
But that doesnt work for CDMA. So this might be an option.
I will try this and see....thanks.
Great! This is really the app I looked for several days. Thank you for your post.
This app will give a short vibrate indicating that the your outgoing call is answered, so that you have not put the phone near your ear when calling.
you dont need this cab press phone > menu > options > scroll down and check vibrate vhen call is connected, but thanks on try
Hi!
This app is useful for me, I have an old Diamond and it works, but on start a popup window appears with a message that I cannot understand what it says, cause chars are messed up and it asks to press yes or no. I don't know what it says, so I press yes and it works.
If someone can tell me what this thing asks it would be nice and also, if I can make it stop asking, cause I would like to put it to autostart.
Thanks!
This is a Chinese program so the letters do not show up correctly. You need to run this program only once as it does not run permanently. Instead it will (on first run) register to the Windows Mobile notification service:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Notifications\WStart.cnCallVibrate
adding several values below.
This will make the program run (and vibrate) when a connection is established.
A second call to the program will make it detect that settings are already in the registry and ask if you want to un-register it. If you answer "Yes", then the association is removed (hence no more vibration on connect), if you answer "No" then nothing changes.

Thanks for the answer tobbbie!
Finally I understood what's going on with this application
English patched Version + readme added
I have patched the original file and added a readme - original file still included. Get it from the attachment. Readme tells:
CallVibrate(WStart.cn) will register to the Windows Mobile notification
service at HKLM\System\Notifications when first started.
You get the response "Activated" after done and a short vibrate.
A subsequent call to the program will ask if you want to deactivate it.
Select either "Yes" (to remove the notification) or "No" to keep as is.
Program was patched to deliver English strings (keeping length intact)
instead of Chinese, no intended functional changes were done.
Guidance was taken from the patched CallerLoc.exe found in Aleut's
Typhoon Kitchen to identify the locations for patching CallVibrate.
To complete documentation, then the "FileDescription" in the resource
was changed with ResourceHacker from some Chinese string to
"Vibrate on outgoing Call Connect for Windows Mobile"
to depict its purpose also there.
The program itself seems to be an offspring from the Caller Loc program
which is maintained at: http://wstart.cn/
CallerLoc is much more powerful but has little use outside of China.
It creeped out of the ROC (to Russia first) removed of all configuration
data and used only to deliver the Vibrate on Connect function.
This can be achiedved also with this simple program for the sole purpose
to give a short vibration when the outgoing call connects.
Thanks to the original author!

Hi Guys,
I've ported one of my apps: eNotify to the Ornate TrueSmart:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hermes.enotifylite
A couple of users have written to request that eNotify turn on the screen when a new email arrives. So that works fine. However, they would also like the screen to be unlocked so that they don't need swipe to dismiss the clock-screen to see the notification.
We have a similar option that works on most Android devices: Settings / "Dismiss Screen Lock"
In code:
Deprecated Way:
KeyguardManager keyguardManager = (KeyguardManager) context.getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardLock lock = keyguardManager.newKeyguardLock(context.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
lock.disableKeyguard();
Current Way:
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD);
BUT it doesn't work on the Ornate TruSmart which leads me to believe this isn't actually a lock screen, but something else. Is there a way to programmatically dismiss this screen?
Best Regards,
Glen

I don't use screen lock on my TS, and your app works fine for me, awaking the screen and presenting the popup notification. One question though: When in silent mode, the vibrate feels like just one small bump, and is barely noticed. Any way to increase the vibrate, or set a pattern? Thanks.

glensantacruz said:
Okay. Thanks for the info. I'm still attempting to track it down. Apparently, removing the lock works on some ROMS, but not others.
You can set the vibration like:
Alerts Tab (!) -> Default Profile -> Default Alert -> Bell Chime -> Vibration
There are baked in vibrations such as:
short, medium, long
But you can also hold your finger down to record one of a custom length.
Please feel free to email me at the support address if you need anything. I'd also welcome any reports of TrueSmart specific issues that need investigating.
Thanks,
Glen

That worked, thanks. So far so good with my TS...
@glensantacruz, eNotifyLite did not function on my device at all. Sadly once I installed the app, google search started to crash constantly. this made my TrueSmart unusable. Once I uninstalled everything worked once again.
I had high hopes for this.
Suggestion. in the setup separate SMS and email configuration. I am not interested in email in my tiny watch screen. I only really want sms, hangouts, Phone calls and basic glance-able alerts to wake my screen. On my phone I might try your app for email.. I looks very interesting and full of features.
I am a bit confused. In order to receive these notifications the ts must be connect through BT to my phone? If that is true how are u getting past the issues with BT connection with a phone

This is not a simple situation but I will attempt to explain my solution:
For SMS
first I have a full service SIM and account for my TS on ATT
next use google voice for my primary number, this involves installing the GV app and configuring it, then getting the GV number socialized..
next I force force sms responce on my phone and my TS to use the GV # with an Xposed plugin called "XVoice+".
For EMAIL / Internet based:
first I have a full service SIM and account for my TS on ATT that is part of a 15gb shared family plan.
The final result is I receive all SMS on both devices. A couple Caveats, GV does not support the short message format so no twitter alerts. depending on the sms source, some messages are more readable on the TS then others.
Unfortunately for me I'm in Canada and lacking Google voice. Thanks for the explanation tho. Omate is doing a ota in a few more weeks fixing the BT issue. I think I will hold off and wait and see how well it works. I've spoken with Le pen and he tells me that the new fix is working very well.
I have a gear s tmobile. Up until this past week I've been able to use the gear to initiate texts and all of the sudden this function has stopped. When I go into messages, compose and try to send a message I get this phone icon with a half circle in front of it as opposed to the arrow like it's loading or sending but it doesnt move or change and the texts don't send. When i turn off bluetooth and try to use mobile network or wifi i get the red square icon with the exclamation point. I cannot use s voice to initiate texts either though other s voice functions - ie call bill - works fine.
I can reply to texts as they come in all day. I suddenly just cannot start them on my gear. I have tweaked every option i could think of, rebooted, reset the watch, tried to switch from primary textra to primary Samsung messages, removed the sim card and so far nothing. Something wrong with my sim card or what?
***update*** it was the sim card. Not sure why texting worked at first then didn't but I had to log in and input the # on the sim card and reboot.
i dont have a sim. im using bluetoth with the same problems any help?
I know for me, I can't have airplane mode on and send messages. I can still receive them with it on though.
*with bt connected

Thank you for the update. I am having the same issue except it affects calling only - I can not make any phone calls, and I can not receive any phone calls - I can text and use my data though like normal, but I can not make any phone calls nor can I receive any phone calls. You mentioned that you had to "log in" and "input the # on sim", and "reboot" -- would you please elaborate where you have to go to "log in" like on the: T-Mobile Website? Samsung Website? where do you "log in"?

Hey yes on T-Mobile website. My T-Mobile.. I forget the exact links but you click into your device and go from there.. Pretty sure there's a number on the sim and you input that and reboot. I called T-Mobile and they were pretty helpful if you get stuck.

Ok, I went on to the T-Mobile website, then created an account for my T-Mobile Samsung Gear S phone number under "My T-Mobile". However, when I log in to "My T-Mobile" I do not see anywhere listed a place where I can input the number on my SIM card. I tried looking under the submenus of: Billing, Usage, Plan, Phone, and Shop, but was not able to find the place where I could input the number on my SIM card -- where do I find the place to input the number on my SIM card?

Hey I poked around and nothing jumped out at me either. I'm currently using gear s2 so my settings may have changed (it has built in sim.) Give tmob a call and they'll help u. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
First Failed Attempt: A softphone (software client)
After multiple softphone application tries they all gave me the same problem:
Each one would require me to open an account on the app, which I want to avoid to do as there are costs.
Another disappointment is that a phone number is required and I do not have a carrier.
Second Failed Attempt: Internet telephone settings wizard not found (error message)
To make an internet call a valid SIM card must be inserted and the phone connected to a WLAN this gave me a problem as:
I do not have a carrier plan and intend on using the phone without one.
I followed the steps to attempt to activate the internet call with a WLAN connection and without a SIM, but I was blocked by this error message "Internet telephone settings wizard not found".
Knowing only the basics of SIP and VOIP, is there a way to make calls via the internet without a carrier(sim) account?

Hello mvikrant97Could you please explain the limits of my attempts.
I purchased the phone as a project, to see if I could play around and get to call without the use of a SIM. I have been teaching myself about telecommunications in general.
I would like to understand why not instead of why it is so... if you understand me.
