How does one identify or confirm the HTC HD2 to be new or refurbished?
Regards,
Rudy.
i normally just check the call usage info. it can't really be erased so if the phone has been used you should see some call usage.
settings tab>about phone>software info

Hi
3.17 is GREAT.
However, try as I might I have lost the two boxes on the Today screen that let you know if you have missed a call or have voice mail.
What am I doing wrong?
There is no check-box in System Today to activate it
Thanks ahead of time for your help
Tim
start
settings
system tab
Today
switch to "items" tab
Check the box next to T-mobile
Proceed living.
sorry for brefity, I'm or my MDA after recently getting GPRS to work. somehow t-zones is letting me browse the web!!!
No T-Mobile under Settings/Today
Hey Thanks for trying.
The problem is the is no T-Mobile to choose under the Today setup.
Does anyone know how to start it so that it shows up here?
Thanks
Tim
Well I feel like an A$$
hello again.
i dont really remember if atom exec had the same issue with WM5.....
now i have jiggs latest rom
and i noticed that when a friend makes me a very short term call the number doesnt show up instantly......so if the caller hangs out too early the number of the missed call is shown as ''Uknown''
p.s. let me explain what i mean short call......here in greece when we want to just notify someone that we are thinking of him/her we just ring his phone once and then hung the line.
or in other occasions when we are going to meet each other at a certain place certain time we make that type of call to notify we are there
is there any solution to the problem?
Yup, same here. Unknown for the few seconds and the real caller no will display afterward. If we using call filter such as CallFirewall and we put some contact to be filter, the caller still get through due to it only filter the first display 'unknown' not the no. we assigned in the list.
bump.
if now there is no solution can i at least hope that jiggs and other rom cookers will try and search a bit about the problem?
thnx in advance fellas
I have the same issue with my Atom as well. Original WM5.
yeah, me too with original wm5
it's annoying
Dummpp....
there is an OLLLd solution for that! And works just great.
It is called: SMSDrFix
(there is a wm5 version that also works flalessly on a wm6 device)
Just install it, configure it (it is a program), reset the device and youre done!
cheers
Where can we find it...please help
Here it goes chap..
But I think this solves something else.. like when you send a SMS and you receive delivery report. Then it shows only the mobile number in the report. what it does is pick up the name of the person from the address book and show the name instead of the mobile number.
So I am not sure if it works for short missed calls or not. for short missed calls ATOM can't sense the mobile number for some reason. That's why shows unknown..
Anyway... have fun...
Regards,
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.
Hey earlier i thought its a sim problem but its not...please help...first after a call or a sms...no remaining balance appears as in other phones....moreover to activate packs...when we have to dial service numbers like *111# and then choose a option....then menu never opens...and mesaage comes "session terminated"
Please help.....

Windows Phone OS cannot handle service number with options and post call/msg balance notifications. I think you'll just have to live with it. However, if I am not wrong you can still work with direct service numbers like balance check and all, you cant just use options after dialing a service number.
If you want to activate "packs", you'll need to dial the whole thing in one go, like *111*2# or whatever the direct number is. Never tried it myself, but based on my usage experience, it should work.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why my caller ID does not show on my phone? Ironically there are a few of my contacts that show up and some outside callers but 90% of my calls show unknown?Is there any way to address this?

I have the same issue on a recently rooted Verizon S4 (SCH-545). It was my friend's brand new phone so not sure if the caller id issued occurred before the root. Appears that all contacts in his phone showed "unknown caller."
I found this possible fix on the web to delete /data/misc/rild_ril.clip. However the file did not exist on this phone.
Fixed his issue. Found out the "Caller ID" feature on the Verizon site was not added to his particular line. It is a free feature on his plan but was not enabled when he went to a new data plan.
