Hello everybody,
I just need help to change the phone number display format,
I live in lebanon and here we just use six max 8 characters for phone numbers, it's just annoying with the format we have on the xda
(###) ###-####
Does anybody know a way to change something in the registry for example to display the phone number without parentheses, dashes and space?
Put this in the registry, and then soft-reset.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CountryCode"=dword:00000000

Well, almost. I just found out this works for 3.17.03, but doesn't work for 4.00.11. Does anyone know more?

While I'm answering my own posts: if you select something other than "English (United States)" in the Control Panel, the number format also changes.
change your regional settings from English United States to English UK for instance. It is the first thing i do whever i reflash or hard reset.
Cheers

Hi
Wonder if anyone knows how to customise the xda to use different ringtones to different calls received?
Thanks
V
Only solution i know is the tool caller2picture....
With this software you can choose different ringtones and you can add a photo to display on incoming call.
Just try it. There is a free testversion...
Regards
Stefan
Thanks- got it at pocketgear.com
HI Stefan,
Thanks for reply. Just after I emailed you, I found a thread titled caller2picture further down on scrolling the same forum and found the software in pocketgear.com
Will try this out. Anyone with other softwares available besides this?
Cheers
V
You should take a look at http://phonext.oabsoftware.nl.
There you can download PhonExt.
It's small, but effective; and it's free!!!
MTUX
Hi Janevries,
Thanks a lot !!
Great application; in fact I found another one called MTUX RingtoneX (can be found easily in pocketgear.com ) which does almost the same as Phonext and is not free. The advantage of RingtoneX and Phonext is that both can assign a whole category of contacts to a special ringtone and this is something that Caller2picture cannot do. Hopefully the later versions of Phonext can allow one to assign photos to the contact as well.
Cheers

That would be da bomb!
I already love Phone Ext in its current form.
Great job!
Can't get the phonext to work in UK
HI folks,
Just after my last posting, I downloaded the phonext programme and tried to dial from it. Unfortunately, it kept assuming the +1 country code and I could not get the phonext program to dial a UK number. I also have Caller2picture in my XDA and wonder if this is the problem or is there something else I should do ?
Hope someone could help.
Thanks.

Phonext dial properly but can't assign ringtones
Hi folks,
Found the solution in the General section where there is a posting on Phonext- go to settings, connections, connections and dialling locations and change the country code to 44; somehow by default my country code was 1 and area code 425 !!! Don't know why before using phonext this hasn't affected my dialling but anyway with this change, phonext will dial properly. However, I still couldn't assign ringtone using categories or by the contact menu. Any ideas?
Cheers
Vic
Make sure you use PhonExt v1.2, we had a similar problem with v1.1
(PhonExt will definitely make it in a next version of the Special Edition ROM)
Version just downloaded
Hi
Thanks for reply. The version I used was just downloaded yesterday. Anyway, will try again to see if it works and will let you know.
Just one question though: how is it that previously when I was not using Phonext, the question of country code did not come in? ie all along I was just dialling ok with the country code set at 1 and area code set at 425 by default when I got the phone and honestly I did not know it was set at these values at all !!!
Cheers
Vic
the software does not support midi as ringo tone ..any solution ?
I've purchased MTUX RingtoneX, but it plays always the default ringtone.
Anyone encounters this problem??

MTUX RingtoneX works fine with me
Did you already try to make a phonecall with your XDA or MDA in your car? Then you certainly discovered a disadvantage of PocketPC Phone Edition: the buttons and menus in the Contacts application are much to small to select a contact and a number while driving (unless you have very sharp eyes and tiny fingers).
That's why I wrote PhonExt.
PhonExt makes it easier to scroll through your contacts, select a phone number and make a phonecall.
PhonExt makes it possible to really use your XDA or MDA while driving.
And with PhonExt you can easily recognize who is calling, even without watching the screen!
PhonExt offers the possibility to assign a specific ring tone to a contact or even to a category of contacts!
PhoneExt works on all pocket pc's with integrated phone that have Pocket PC 2002 - Phone Edition as operating system.
You can download it from http://phonext.oabsoftware.nl.
PhonExt extends your XDA; and it's free!
Oops, almost forgot to tell that PhonExt is freeware...
Cool and tiny software
It's Great tool
i install it and it's working fine with no problems and if i'll find any bug i'll let you know.
thanks with best regards

Great little app does exactly what I want.
Hi
Very nice app, works nicely and cleanly.
However have found that (here in the UK) it dials some mobile numbers wrongly.
eg. mobile number is 0781 123456
it will dial +1 781 123456 (i.e makes a call to America!)
Clearly this needs fixing.
Hi There
same problem here not only with mobiles...it was doing the +1 thing to ALL numbers...
The authors suggested I add country code into my XDA dialing properties...
After a reboot is is not doing the +1 thing anymore but now DROPPING all leading 0's ... so 0207 gets dialled as 207 , 07973 dialled as 7973
summat is going wrong here LOLOL
same problem here not only with mobiles...it was doing the +1 thing to ALL numbers...

Just wondering: Have you changed your Country code from '1' to '<your country code>' ?
'Start' -> 'Settings' -> 'Connections' -> 'Connections' -> 'Dialing Locations'
After flashing qtek or the XDA-developers ROM my XDA Country code always changed to '1'.
grtz!
raymond..
yes I have, as said above , after setting the country code for mobile/home/work dialling properties , the dialler is now dropping all leading zeroes...
thnx for the reply
Doesn't customise ringtones
Hi folks,
I have the same problem- initially, phonext always dial +1 as prefix calling America as it is and then when I changed the settings of connections to country code 44, (ie not 0044), it dials correctly now. However the ringtone that I added to any categories doesn't work and even using the contact menu, adding ringtone doesn't work. Anyone has the same problem besides dialing out?
Cheers
Vic
For me it´s not working too....
First problem I have, that also the wrong numbers are dialed....
Instead of +497031.... it dials +317031....
I my contact list the number are stored in this format:
+49 (7031) .....
Another problem I have, is that i cann´t set a ring tone to a person. I´ve got this option in the contact list, but when i try it, I´ve get an error Message:
"Cannot run menu add in"
I´m using standard ROM Version 3.17.03 ENG and RAdio Version 4.21.00

Ok, was my mistake. Have seen this thread already, but i didn´t mentioned, that there is a new version of Phonerxt Available. Now it works fine...

This is a very very very useful utility.
One suggestion: I have in my contacts more than a thousand numbers. I presume I'm not the only one. Although the search is fast (arrows go page up and page down), I suggest to the creator of the software to add in the upper row (instead of "Dial a contact") three buttons dividing names in alphabetical order (A-G, H-R, S-Z or whatever): this allows faster search. Thanks.
Hello guys. I guess many people have asked this question... Is there any way to change the telephone number format? I don't want the (zzz) zzz-zz format, it doesn't make sense in my country. Is there any way to play with that format? Thanks!
Go to Setting->System->Regional Settings and look for your country.
My country, Lebanon, isn't there. I'm asking for another advanced way... maybe registry editing?

when in doubt, if you want it in English (assumption), select, English UK, or English Australia, or English New Zealand...it will enter numbers (or show numbers) in the international format. By choosing Canada or the US, you will have "our" format
EDIT: As people have said, to change this setting it is in the Regional Settings menu..but it is only changed when you change the language, there is no field like if you wanted to change the numerical format or date format
You have to make sure you have selected your country in REGIONAL SETTINGS. I think it has to do with that.
REspecTo!

Naw, the only reason I know that this would change it, is because I did it myself when I went to Australia this year (from Canada)...so I noticed the difference once changing the location in the settings

2 - need to change it in registry editor
Thanks for the quick reply. Re the reg editor: do you know what key needs to be changed (and to what value)?
Can you please give a step to step guide, for how to install this rom on the SPV C550 please?

Thanks for the Firmware, works and looks nice!
A few small problems I found:
MoBlue is only in Polish.
Some error messages (as from media player) are also only Polish.
Is there a way to fix this?
moblue is in english too, but you must change them i moblue settings or in registry editor.
about WMP i check it

Do we have to flash some specificradio for WM6.1? This is the best rom so far, but i still have most common problems that occur with 6.1: phone keeps losing coverage and battery sometimes drains for no apparent reason.

For T9 try a download from hxxp://melgurth.ovh.org/index.php?page=downloads
The setting of SMS service center works fine for me
When I clear the entry, it was auto filled by the network,
when I modifiy the default, it stays as I enter the value.

I have Nexus 4 and ever since I bought it, it saves all phone numbers with spaces between the digits (like +44 555 555 5555 etc.)
Does anyone know how to have these numbers with no spaces in between? I tried changing the language to English US, English UK and English Autsralia... etc. but no luck with that!!
It really bothers me as well as so many people out there as I found many people complaining about the same issue:

I don't think that this behaviour can be changed in the stock application.
And just asking, what problem do you face with these spaces?

Whenever I copy the phone numbers to paste them on any other applications, I have to go back and delete those spaces (bcuz these applications won't work with the spaces in between).
