Sprint changed to T-Mobile - Touch Pro CDMA

Ok, so here's my problem....I have a Sprint Touch Pro and the Advance Config. Program. I launched the Config program to remove the quick contacts tab and to add the call history tab. I unchecked contacts, checked call history and hit ok. Now my Touch thinks it's T-Mobile. It says T-mobile on the upper right hand corner and nothing on the home screen works (like hit clock for alarm or anything else) The call history is there followed by voicemail and appointments (As a matter of fact there are appointments there that aren't even mine. The Sprint TV is gone and the sprint banner on music page is gone. What in the world could have caused this?
Somebody please help .....I never backed up my Touch and i'm afraid if I do it now to hard reset, It will back this problem up and i'll be in the same boat, because I don't wanna lose everything.

You will not have to hard reset.
You can use Advanced Config go to the appearance tab and click on Restore Default. This will get you back to where you started.

That worked....
You are a life saver jthomas, I just don't understand why that happened and where did those appointments come from.....weird

I really have no idea how that happened! That data is pulled directly from the phone; in your description, it was like it was hard coded into the manila file... I am not sure.

SMS ACCOUNT GONE

DOWNLOADED SOME APPS AND NOW IVE GOT NO SMS ACCOUNT ANY IDEAS IVE GOT FLASHDASH,INTELLIPAD+DIALER,AIRMAGNET,DAVA2003 PIC VIEWER,ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PROB
did you just upgrade to 2003se ?
if you did, your sms change to messaging. (accounts - text message)
mate,
what do mean by "gone"? the messages are all gone or you canna send sms messages? if it's the lattter; this may have happened if you made a hard reset or upgraded the rom. you might want to try resending the sms profile to your network. try:
settings>phone>services>click on voice mail and sms>press "get settings">wait for a few seconds>enter your sms service center (this is normally your phone number but add the country code)>enter your voice mail number/carrier> press ok to load> press ok to exit
hope that helps
cheers
Yup,
Had hard resetting issues with mine, and sometimes, after a hard reset, it wouldn't come back. I figured it happened when either simm was not in, or I stopped some of the automatic file from reloading after the hard reset. Basically, back it up, then hard reset it w/ Simm and it will come back.

Verizon Touch Pro Voicemail Notification

I have an ATT Fuze and one of my coworkers got the Verizon Touch Pro and his phone doesn't show any new notification when there is a new voicemail. I've left multiple voicemails and there is no item on the Home TF3D screen under the New Call line, and there is no little icon in the top title bar.
I have both of these on my Fuze, and he's asked me for help on his, but I can't seem to find a reason that this would happen, (or not happen/show).
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
dial *228, option 1
I get VM notification on my Verizon TP.
Did your coworker do something to disable it, maybe unintentionally? For example, there is a registry hack which disables the HTC phone keypad skin, restores the default Microsoft one, and saves about 10M of RAM. Unfortunately, there are several side-effects, and I think one of them, is one looses a lot of the little icons at the top of the screen.

Im thinking there is an 80% chance he just needs to re program his phone (as instructed above)...
But why would you want to use verizon crap voicemail anyway? check out Youmail.....

[Q] SMS Time Error

Hello,
I am using an unlocked TG01 from Orange (UK) on Rogers in Canada (GMT -5), using the official 6.5 ROM. CE OS 5.2.21840 (Build 21840.5.0.60)
My SMS messages recieved are logged 5 hours behind current time. My SMS messages sent are logged at the current time. My suspicion is that it has to do with the origin of the phone, from the UK.
I have searched xda forums and modaco forums, microsoft, and google.
I have total commander, and have modified the registry in a few was, as described below:
I have added the TrustTimeZoneField field dword (in HKLM\System\Phone Settings\OEM ... or whatever it was.)
I have modifed HKLM\Time Zones to include Eastern Standard Time with the proper TZI file.
I have tried to set the timezone to another setting (like GMT -3) reset the phone, and then change it back, and it doesn't not work.
I have download a cab file that was supposed to fix it too.
I am looking for any other ideas, please, and thanks.
Also, My Voice Mail indicator does not come on when I get a VM, but comes on and stays on when I clear the VM. I get the blank text messages from the system in with my normal texts, that are sent to indicate VM has been cleared
i've been using HushSMS to clear my VM indicator, so if anyone knows how to make this work properly, that'd be great.

Anyone have the sms time issue on this device?
Have you changed the time zone in the clock settings??
On my phone (UK Orange, using O2 UK sim card) when I have my time set incorrectly, the txt message times are correct!

Yeah, I've tried that. There's an inconsistency between sent SMS and received SMS of 5 hours. I've tested it by sending myself a text message, and I recieve it 5 hours before I send it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe your phone time travels!?
Have you tried a hard reset? (Master Clear) Also the SMS times are received from the network operators, might help to call them?
Hey, thanks for the response Big K.
I'm trying to avoid the master reset.. it's about the only option I haven't tried. Technically it shouldn't make a difference, but .. i know how that works with Windows.
I did call the network and they were useless (surprise!)

Do a full backup of your phone using software like SPB backup, then perform a master rest, see if it works. If it doesn't, then you can simply restore EVERYTHING back
There is a setting somewhere to use network time etc, maybe this is activated in yours?
Seems like the only choice at this point.
I'll probably do it this weekend.
I have no idea where those network time settings are that you're talking about, and google didn't help at all either. Thanks for your assistance.

Did a hard reset, still no good.
Used Sprite Backup to restore all applications.
Think it could possibly be an app problem? I doubt it, but i guess i should have tested the SMS issue before restoring the apps. Will do another hard reset in the next day or two and keep updated.
Yes, that is what I meant......test the SMS out BEFORE restoring lol
Otherwise when restored, all registry settings etc go back to where it was! lol
If the hard reset does fix it, only restore your user files, such as txt messages, files etc. NOT program files etc and then test. Install a few apps and test. Few more apps and test etc!
Yah, that was silly on my part.
I will retest and repost. I have 2 days off, tomorrow and the next.
I'll let you know.
Ok, so i hard reset the phone today.
Set the time to GMT-5 EST. SPB Mobile shell 3.0.1 Build 136621 is hard coded with the Rom, by the way.
So, i sent a test message. Time sent 17:02, Recieved 12:02
I reset the time to visiting GMT-8 Pacific, reset the phone.
So, i sent a test message. Time sent 14:06 Recieved 09:05
Thoughts? Should i hard reset and try setting it to a different time?
If so, what time?
So I tried setting the time to GMT +2 after a heard reset, and the time was 2 hours behind on SMS messages.
I then set the time to GMT-5 (EST) and it went back to it's normal 5 hours behind.
When I set the time to London (GMT0) it comes in 7 hours ahead.
I'm officially confused.
Now i've hard reset and set it to GMT0 and it is in synch, sent and received.
If i then go into time settings and change it to GMT-5, it still works, in synch.
Ifi change the time to the proper time after changing it to GMT-5, then it doesnt work.. it is 5 hours behind on received texts..
My solution then: hard reset, set it to GMT, but set the time to 5 hours behind GMT... that should work.
What do you mean by,
SPB Mobile shell 3.0.1 Build 136621 is hard coded with the Rom
As the 4 TG01's I have had from Orange UK have never came with any SPB software
Do this.
Hard reset. DO NOT install anything or have the memory card inserted. Have someone send a txt message and see what time it is, don't even bother changing the time as the txts should have their own time.
This is what I did in post #12.
I hard reset - set the time, timezone and date during setup
As soon as it loaded, i sent myself an SMS.
The only way the time is correct is if I leave it on GMT0, set the time to current local time which is EST, but leave the timezone on GMT0.
If I do that, then the SMS sent and recieved times are the same.
I can't leave it like that of course, my comp corrects it on sych, and all my appointments are off by 5 hours.
and SPB mobile shell IS hard coded mate. See post in ROM Development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625791&page=2
I'm getting the same problem too and I'm on Rogers as well.
I bought my hTC TD2 (topaz) in Taiwan but I'm using custom ROMs.
So far, from all the ROMs I've used (custom and official), all received SMS are 5 hrs late but the sent time was correct.
However, if the SMS was sent from Taiwan, the received time is correct!
My cousin's hTC Magic is experiencing the same problem too, so i guess it's Roger's problem.
The SMS are following the network's time (which is set to EST regardless of where you received them).
You might wanna call Rogers to see if they have solutions to this (yeah... it's getting annoyed to see incorrect time when you are having a SMS convo.... sent time are 5 hrs ahead of received time )
Guys If its work with time zone 0 set it in time zone 0. I mean universal time you have 3 different chose one and that is it.
If i set it to timezone0 then every time my computer synch's with my PC it changes it to GMT-5
Plus, all my appointments will be off.
Guys, I found the solution to this problem
Like I said before, the phone is reading the time from the network's tower (for Rogers users, it's EST regardless of where you are in Canada)
Now, if you go and find a cab file called "Ziggy2016Fix.cab", it'll fix up the problem.
That cab file was used to fix a known SMS problem which is constantly showing year 2016 as the SMS received time, however it can also fix the time delay problem
It worked on my phone, let me know if yours work too.

[SOLVED]No multimedia msgs - phone problem??

So, this morning was the first day of school for my kids. Of course I snap several photos then go to txt the pictures to the grandparents. And the phone goes to send..... and then just sits there.... for ages. Then eventually errors out. Odd, but you know, at&t is kind of crap so I figure I'll try it when I get to work. A few mins later I receive a picture msg from my sister and I cannot open that either.
Anyway, it looks like I cannot send or receive multimedia messages now. After chatting with the at&t support person for what seemed like hours, he says the problem is likely with my phone and i need to do a warranty replacement.
I am thinking that's a ROM bug/issue, right? Would doing a master reset possibly fix this? Has anyone else had this problem? (I'm running the at&t official GB ROM, I did not do the OTA update though. I did the full pudding/root pre-install load.
Mmm, I don't how it is named in English, but you should have something called "data management" in the setting.
In there there a 2 menus : in the first "data stream control" (or something like that, again I have a French rom) you should deactivate it or MMS can not been sent/received.
At least that was the case for me. This also prevent from doanloading app with only 3g, you must have wifi.
This is quite annoying because I can't control the data AND send MMS but wel... maybe there is another workaround.
Edit : I'm in 2.2.2, I don't know if that will be the same in 2.3.4.
You need to have the correct APN settings. Check in your Mobile Network options.
Who is your service provider?
Hot damn rush! I had changed my APN to a custom one a while ago (just apn defined as 'phone' nothing else set.) I changed it back to the default HSDPA and la-da!
I wonder why that custom APN stopped working?
THANK YOU!
Glad you have it working now, enjoy.
