Hello,
I've installed the WM6-Rom and aktivated des passwordprotection... no I recognized, when typing the passwords there is a text "Emergency phone calls can be made"... but it works only with "911" (because the rom is US) but in Germany the emergency-call-number is "110". Does anyone know how to change 911 to 110?
perhaps it could be integrated in the "German Language Changer CAB"...

it's a registry entry if I recall rightly; you can just add the emergency number to the list, someone else probably remembers what it is, if you search for it, you'll find it.

I thought as part of the GSM spec, that the international emergency number of 112 should always be dialable and work in every country, no matter what the local number actually is.

That is true. For emergency calls, the phone doesn't even dial the number the user enters. Instead, the phone recognizes the number and initiates a special emergency call set-up procedure which is different from the normal call setup - for example, even if a GSM cell is completely in use by other calls, you can still make an emergency call, as the network will randomly terminate one of the normal calls to free a slot.
So dialling 112 should work everywhere in the world since the network never "sees" that number. If it doesn't, the phone is in violation of the GSM standard.
Btw, in Germany 112 gets you the fire brigade and ambulance. For police you have to dial 110, and that is *not* recognized as an emergency call (in the sense described above) by the phone.

Hey Guys!
I'm having some issues in contact identification in Brazil and would like to know if you share the same problems in other countries. (And, .:hopefuly:., if you have a solution for this)
In Brazil, to make long distance phone calls we have to store our contacts number in this format:
0 + Operator + Area Code + Phone Number
For short distance calls, you could use just the phone number or the "full" number with the zero, operator and area code numbers.
Considering this, I've always had my contacts full numbers stored in my phone in case that if I go to another area code, I'll still be able to call my contacts from my city and from somewhere else.
The problem is: Whenever I get a SMS / MMS, the operator send the number in the following format (with a missing operator no.) and the phone won't recognize it as being a contact number.
0 + Area Code + Phone Number
I used to have nokias phones (n95, e71), motorola's, etc. and they all were capable to identify the contacts in SMS and phonecalls. I'm probably doing something stupid with my phone here.
It may be relevant:
Phone numbers in brazil: 8 digits
Area codes: 2 digits
Operators: 2 digits
ps.: If I misused the "operator" word, you can undestand it as being like "Sprint", "Verizon", "O2" and other companies that may provide you with long distance services. Eg. I could be a sprint user and use verizon's long distance service.
What your operator?
Thx

My current phone operator is TIM - Brasil - São Paulo (11)
Every SMS I get has the phone number in this format:
0 + Area Code + Phone Number
Does android allow some sort of "default" operator for every phone call?
I'm having the same problem with my phone, I'm also a TIM subscriber.
The only (flawed) solution that I've found is to store the same number again but without the operator code.
Still hoping to find a better solution. Anyone out there can help us?!?
I use the MagiCall 2.2.4. my operator TIM.

That's exactly what I'm doing.
Couldn't find Magicall for android. Just WinMo.
My phone operator in Brazil is Vivo and I store all my phone numbers in the following format:
0 + area code + phone number
Because I ommited the operator code, Vivo assumes its default code. This way, the numbers stored in my phone are good for short and long distance calls, and the caller identification also works for SMS and MMS.
I'm not sure that applies to TIM though.
Of course what I suggested is just a workaround. This seems to be a known issue in Android:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1673
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1250
http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/0e5286ce14aba5b2
You could vote for the issues.
TIM doesn't have a "default" operator service. That's why we have this problem.
I think Claro and VIVO does. As soon as I get out of this contract, I'll migrate to other provider.
I have the same problem here.
You guys found any solution beside switching operators?
Nope.... Right now I'm a very happy vivo user.
However, it seems that the sim card is the one responsible to automatically add an operator number. Every time I call someone without the operator I get this message indicating that the sim card has changed the mumber automatically.
I wonder if we could add an program into TIM's simcards to act like other companies do.

I installed a program called Right Number.
All my contacs are in the format: 0 + Area code + Number (01191234567)
When you make a call, the program adds the operator number of your like.
And when you receive a call, the phone will recognize the contact.
I recomend!
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.
Greetings.
I've been using the SonyBread ROMS by paul-xxx in my X10 Mini Pro and they are great, but I am having an annoying problem with all versions:
when I receive a call from someone (who is already saved in my contacts list) the phone shows only the number, not the caller’s name.
This happens because here in Brazil I have to save the contact's number with the area code and the long distance operator number, but when someone calls the operator only informs the area code and the number.
Example:
Contact> John Doe
Number> 0-41-11-1234 5678
[meaning: 0-(long distance operator number)-(area code)-(John Doe's number)]
But when John calls the operator informs only 0-11-1234 5678 and then the phone doesn't associate this number with John's.
Before I started using custom ROMs this worked flawlessly. I could have whatever operator number stored in the contacts and the phone always could identify the caller.
I think it read the caller's number backwards and read only the first 10 digits...
Anyway, as this was working with the original firmware, maybe there is a way of extracting a file from the original ROM and overwriting it on the custom ROM.
Does anyone knows how to do this? Or even better, has someone any kind of solution for this bug?
Thanks in advance!
Try fixing the number to 0-41-11-1234 5678 instead of 0-11-1234 5678, just a try... My phone doesn't happens it...
replace in settings language

Hi, XxLordxX.
I went to Sao Paulo city this weekend and the phone did recognize some calling numbers.
The local numbers (Sao Paulo city's numbers) were working ok. The phone showed the number without any area code (1234-5678) and the caller's name appeared on the screen.
Now I've returned to my city (different area code) and the same caller from Sao Paulo was shown on the screen with the area code (011 1234-5678) and no name appeared.
In the example above the number stored in my phone was the complete version, with the operator number (0 41 11 1234-5678). So, the problem only happens when someone from another area code calls (80% of my calls).
And as I said before, this was working perfectly with the original firmware.
Very strange. Any ideas?

Hi paul-xxx.
Sorry, but I did not understand what you mean.
Anyway, I changed the language to English (United States) but the problem remains.
Any other idea?
Thanks.
PS: Your ROM is great, thank you very much for the work.
Guys, I have managed to solve this issue by removing the long distance operator code from all contacts and intalling a free app that inserts the programmed operator number at the moment of the call.
Now the phone is able to recognise all callers.
Thank you both for taking the time to help.
Cheers!
Hello,
Just got my HTC Ultimate (Brazil's for Titan) and I'm experiencing some problems while dialing and returning calls...
For the details below I'll use a number (9999-8888) from Brazil (country code 55), with 31 as area code.
I store my numbers in international format (+55 31 9999-8888, for the number above) and Vivo (my mobile carrier) sends incoming calls identified as 03199998888 (same number).
I can't call none of them, as I need to dial (according to Brazil's standards) a number in the following format:
0 15 31 9999-8888
The leading ZERO identifies a long distance call, the following "15" tells them to use a especific long distance provider, 31 is the area code and the rest is the number.
In android I've used several apps to do this "translation" in real time, while calling, like "Operadora DDD", "Profiler" or Right Number...
Is there anything like this in Windows Phone 7?
I've checked the "International calling assist" thing too...
I believe it's good to match incoming calls with different number patterns from my contacts.
In fact, no matter where it's on or off, my phone matches 03199998888 for "+55 31 9999-8888", so I believe it would deal with more strange patterns...
While receive a call and match a contact is OK, calling is still a challenge...
Anyone with tips?
Hi, rgmarques. I'm from Brazil too. I have the same problem. Send email to [email protected].
Thanks
Antonio Marques
Hi guys, i'm a former owned of a HD7 and now I own a Ultimate too.
All my contacts use the pattern: +5511XXXXXXXX, for São Paulo as an example. All working now.
The fallowing patterns also works: 011XXXXXXXX, 0YY11XXXXXXXXX
As an example, if you use a TIM SIM, the match option when someone calls you will not work, at least never worked on any imported device I own previously. This is because when your recieve a local call, TIM does no put the DDD before the number! This is done nice by Vivo.
Please, don't keep information on your email, share it with forum. Since the Titan is a brand new device here in Brazil, more people will come to find solutions for their problems.

Try this: Go to Settings and then choose SIM application.
Click on "show application", click on "Facilidades" and then "Vivo DDD". Activate it.
Give feedback please.

Well, seems like my SIM card doesn't have a "facilidades" option...
Here in minas Gerais, we've moved from Telemig Celular to Vivo 1,5 years ago and some stuff hasn't changed completely yet... SIM apps seems to be the case...
I've seen different behaviors in incoming calls matching on my Motorola Milestone,depending on the ROM I used. Never tried different carriers, as it was never an option. But I believe they might send different numbers as originator of the call, resulting in different results.
But my problem relates to originating a call...
Vivo won't let me call +5511XXXXYYYY... I need to call 01511XXXXYYYY...
Well, while no alternative solutions come up, I've changed my contact numbers to match our (Brazilian) pattern... Regular expressions made this reasonable while nothing else shows up... If anyone needs any specific help with the process, just let me know...
I'll keep looking and will report here if i find anything useful...
Thanks.

Call VIVO and ask them to enable this for you. Or, if your have an old Nokia, try you SIM on it and see if the option appears there for you.
But can be different SIMs for each State.
When you DIAL without the DDD Operator, nor the AREA, does it completes the call? If not, this is the problem and this service from VIVO will 'add' the DDD Operator when you do a long distance call.

Hi Cris,
I have a Titan with Tim, and I save the contacts with 04121XXXX-XXXX, so when I receive a call from my contacts I don't see the contact's photo or name, only the tel number XXXX-XXXX without area code. But when I save the number like XXXX-XXXX without area code and Tim code, the photo appears on screen.
I had a Htc Diamond with Tim and photos appears well.

Well,
I used to save my contacts in the international format, +55 31 9999-8888.
With that, I'll need a transformation instead of a simple addition of the carrier code...
If I call 03199998888, the call completes when it's a local one. If it's a true long distance call, it will fail, requiring me to explicitly inform the carrier code.
Well, I will try to check if Vivo has any hint for me.
I'll call them tomorrow.
Thanks again.
Hello,
I'm facing the following problem: My Android based (Gingerbread) smartphone has a number of contacts with several phone numbers (home, work, mobile etc.) for each. When I call a contact the call goes through the mobile operator and I'm charged for the call by him.
I also have an an Asterisk-based PBX with a FCT (Fixed Cellular Terminal, or GSM Dialer or Fixed Wireless Terminal) connected to a VOIP provider that charges much less. If I prefix a phone number in Contacts with a fixed string (containing the mobile number to the SIM card in the FCT, plus some pause, plus the password to access the PBX's dial tone plus a bit more of pause) it works fine.
What I'm looking for is a way to have this standard prefix string stored somewhere and it be automatically padded at the beginning of each number dialed. Ideally, when dialing a contact I would be asked if I wanted to call with or without the standard prefix.
Is that doable?
All help is very much appreciated.
Nikolas
After further searching I've come across an app found on Android Market called Prefixer, by 253below.com. It does everything I want and much more. Maybe this info will help some one else looking for this.
Hello
I need a little help please...
i have configured the follow rule für incoming calls:
When numbers matches:
\+49535111222.*
remove characters:
\+49535111
Add number to call log:
prefixer number
other preferences are default.
i will like to see the 222 at a incoming call on the calling sreen, but i dont see it.
In the call log is the correct number 222, but dont on the calling sreen, there is only the android calling number with all caracters
Tobi
Hi Tobi,
I'm afraid I can't help with your problem as I've only used Prefixer for padding a prefix to outgoing calls, according to filters. However, they have a forum running at the developer's site (253below.com) and you should be able to have your questions replied there.
