Noob here- forgive me if this has been b&*#hed about before...
(Did a search for "in-call options"/"Conference"...etc before posting)
Firstly- love the noob video. Brilliant.
Prob 1.
Unsure if anyone has actually had the need to patch 2+ calls (conference) together when using this phone, but coming from a Blackberry; the stock sk17i is not at all user friendly for this!!
Unless i'm doing something grossly idiotic, the only way i can patch another call while on an existing call, is to dial the number manually. The phone does not give me the option to browse the contacts or call logs.
Prob 2.
If i dial a busy number, the phone goes straight into touchpad lock afterward, which is incredibly annoying when you're trying to get through to more than one number as you have to unlock the touchpad each time a number is busy
1) Is there a fix for this?
2) Does the ICS release fix this (official or unofficially)?
Cheers.
5/12 ICS upgrade not only fixes the above, but thankfully improves the battery life tenfold. Also upgraded phone to the SK18i.

Okay, so I've never posted here before.. I've only lurked enough to figure out how to install a WM6 ROM on my phone.
I've been having a lot of problems with my Hermes lately (can't make/receive calls, sim missing, text messages not sending or receiving)... I have not figured out if it's from dropping it too much or if it's because I'd been running a WM6 rom on it. So I decided on Saturday to switch to another version of the WM6 ROM's available around here...
I installed 3DES.3 and so far I've been having more and more issues as far as making and receiving phone calls.
So the issue is that with the slider closed I'd go to the phone screen and then t9 in a user's name and then call them. The call would not connect... I kept trying and normally wouldn't notice the number it's trying to dial, but the phone is trying to dial a 107140 in front of every call made through the t9 dial menu.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is the ROM trying to make long distance calls on our behalf? Should it be taken off the website?
Thanks guys,
Mitchel

the ROM you are talking about isnt exploited to my knowledge... but it is old and i think 3DES has stopped supporting it...
you are also in the wrong Forum... you should have posted in Hermes Windows Mobile 6... download this ROM and try it...
Thanks for the fast reply. I'll switch over to that ROM. Something is definitely up with this ROM though.
Thanks again,

I am using CM7 and I change my phone number by going to Menu>settings>call settings>my phone number but after I shut my phone off it does not stick and it goes back to unknown phone number. Can anyone help me?
Also has anyone successfully used the My Phone Number app by Lytsing to fix this?
it just usually fixes itself....i did reflash back to JFD stock a couple of times and it added my number on there...might try that...but I called t-mobile abt it and they said it corrects itself eventually but I still reverted to stock anyway to correct it.
Like he stated, your phone number should automatically update in the phone. I've never seen an instance where manually updating it would fix it. Have you tried removing the sim, booting the phone, shutting it down, replacing the sim and then booting back up again?
Contacts>menu>More>Settings>Own Number>Menu>Create>Reboot

Thanks to all seemed like it fixed itself, but in cyanogen mod, in the aosp messaging, isn't it supposed to display my picture for messages that I send. I am a bit confused about that.
I had to call T-Mobile to get the number fixed on two of our three phones.
Search the forums (always a good idea), there is a procedure you can tell them to do which should fix it.

It does...you have to add yourself as a contact and it will show your picture
Hi folks,
I noticed a quite strange problem. I saw in the Webcast about select a contact and just put the phone to your ear and it will automatically call that specific number. But in my phone, its dialing to a specific number. i don't know why, but it's just annoying and weird.
I am a new droid user. Please bear my noobness (as mention in the welcome video).
Thanks and Regards

Your wording threw me off there, do you mean it is calling to a random number? I haven't gotten my hands on my SIII yet so I can't give you much on the specifics for it, though if it continues giving you issues you may try doing a factory reset. I've done this to fix my tablet and some phones. This will clear everything on your phone (with the exception of the contents of your SD card) so use caution, it is a last resort. Backup contacts and whatnot.
Hello,
Two problems (very likely unrelated):
Issue 1: I haven't been able to receive any mms. Is this a known problem for custom roms, and/or does it relate to my service provider? I am using PagePlus. Do I need to manually edit or delete something?
Issue 2: I can't blacklist specific text message senders. This seems like a major oversight to me, but I'm not a dev ... maybe it's extremely difficult to do. I don't want to block texts completely.
An app would be fine, but I don't want to put closed-source stuff on my phone.
Using Cyanogen 7.2. Googled these issues several times since installing about a year ago.
Please assist if you can solve either mystery...thanks

Hey about your MMS issue for one do you have it through service? Or maybe you have to go back to stock to update prl, have you tried Google voice?, also could use Google voice to help block ppl

Issue 1: not normally a problem but it does happen,,, generally 2 options will get you back going,,, i use pageplus too and experienced it 1 time only,,,
Option 1 ;; odin flash back to stock eh03 boot up, don't activate yet,,, then do process to flash cm7 or newer, recommend a jellybean cm10.1 android 4.2.2 ROM though,,, then activate phone,,, not 100% sure this works but it should
Option 2 for PagePlus users:: it's called an esn swap,,, it it requires an old phone capable of pp phone activation (any old non-smart cdma Verizon phone will work too , or someone willing to let you borrow theirs for the process)
A PagePlus csr can do this for you if you call in,,, or online dealers can do this too, some charge for doing it though,,,, you are gonna need the esn/imeid # for both phones and the phone #'s,,,
What you are doing is powering off both phones, and activating the temporary phone with your # and make a test call, l, then make sure power is off on both and re-activating your fassy phone with your #
(It took me longer to type this than it would to do an esn swap)

My samsung mega doesn't ring only some time. If it doesn't ring the call will go to voice mail. If the caller hangs up before it goes to voice mail I never know I was called because it doesn't show a missed call in call log. I have read all I can find here and other places. However my problem isn't exactly same as I find. All sound is on and volume is up. I also know this since it does ring some time...
Now on the dialer pad on the # key there is a icon looks kinda like a speaker with a line through it. I can't remove it, what is it. Even though it is there the phone will still ring sometime.
From what I read I might have a software problem. Can I put the KIT-KAT on and perhaps solve the problem
Any help appreciated.
I posted this on the incorrect form a couple days with no answers. Probably because post was wrong forum.
