Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but you may get more responses if the title of your thread was more meaningful than "GUYS" - many people choose whether or not to read a thread based on its title, so it's a good idea to use a title that indicates to people what your question is.

Ringer Time
Too bad there is no way (currently) of customizing the network settings like we had through WM6.5.
I can't tell who your provider is nor where you are located, but for TMOUS I am sure the ring time before rolling over to voicemail is 30 seconds.

Try to find out the gsm codes of your provider to set the times manually.
For T-Mobile Germany its like **61*your number**time in sec.#
*#61# for checking status
##61# for turn of, this means the max. time

your very right next time I do it right and thanks

How to disable SIM contact on Smart Dialing

Hi guys! This is my first post!! Just got an I-mate Jam, just wondering how does one disable SIM contacts on smart dialing. When I try to search a contact on Smart Dial, it shows both contacts I have in the phone and the contacts in my SIM card, therefore 2 contacts would show up. Anyways to fix this?
Please RTFM! :shock:

ooo get the wannabe mod :roll:
What if he got the phone without a manual or has lost it.
Its the guys first post!!!!! The reply was unacceptable.
If i had a manual myself i would have told him the answer.
Ha, I've got the same thing on my MDA Compact- hasn't really bothered me until I saw this topic
I will have to RTFM tonight i think :lol:
It makes a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE if at least explain that the unit was acquired without the manual or CD which contains the manual, or as you (pda) said the manual/CD got lost.
I've been in Tech Support for 15 years and believe me, I know when people ask for help without reading the manual.
@sh500: That's the right attitude! Right on!
i rtfm - 3.3 Smart dialing (page 22 in russian manual) but did not find the solution....
hmm, so zerimar, y dont u tell us how to do it? i believe u do kno how to do it, coz u've been in "Tech Support for 15 years" and must hav "rtfm" pretty many times n probably kno "tfm" by heart.. theres no harm tellin as "Forums are designed to help people" rite? :wink:
From Page 49 of Manual
Smart Dialiing searches the Phonebook entries in both the SIM card and Pocket Contacts, as well as numbers in Call History (Incoming, Outgoing, or Missed).

With what is said in the manual there is no way of filtering out entries from the SIM card. The only way is if there is a 3rd party software that would;
1. Replace Smart Dialing
2. Have similar feature like in Nokia phones to select which phonebook to use .
@Appu: I never read manuals from cover-to-cover for whatever gadgets I buy, but I browse through it to have an idea of the features, capabilities and limitations of the gadget. I keep the manual handy just in case I am not clear about something.
Forgot to mention. The only way would be to delete the entries in the SIM card (anyway a copy is is Pocket Contacts which is then syncronized to Outlook).
aah so thts how it is.. thanx, zerimar..
hope this info by zerimar was useful for btong and everybody else around..
Ah it's a shame there was not concrete answer....
What's not concrete? It's crystal clear that it's designed as a feature but for most of us has become a disadvantage. This shows that's it's a limitation of the OS/software. From the day I acquired my S100 and noticed the problem, I have already started searching for a solution (3rd party software, or registry hack).
This is similar to the BT issue. By default, the only way to switch on BT is to switch off Flight Mode first and this is solved by PocketMax's Phone Alarm.

Well I was making reference to the originial question and the simple answer to it is no, you can't select which phone book to browse; whether the manual was read or not prior to the question being asked.
In my opinion a 'designed feature' in this case would be one that gave users the option. The way it is currently is more of a 'design by default'.
Thanks, that's the answer I wanted... It's my first time posting here, doesn't mean it's my first time posting in a forum. I wouldn't have asked this question if it was clearly written on the menu or if someone asked the same question in the forum... 15 years of tech support eh? maybe it's about time to change job before getting fired...

I think you guys must be confused...
In my case, when i call someone that is on a call with call waiting activated on my HTC Touch doesn't "say" anything. On my old Nokia it "says" Waiting.
Another think i noticed is when i receive a diverted call on the old phone says "diverted call" and then put a simbol before the number. On my new phone no information about it is displayed.
I know this happens with HTC's... don't know about other brands...
Can anyone know if there is any app that can make the phone "smarter" in this case?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think if we can get AT Command or anything like that in PPC can find the main code of alert and write a programe to show the messege for call waiting
how to do it? is any programmer here to know this?
tanX and so so sorry for my BAD English
no answer?
it is very important for me
please help(
Any News? I'm using HTC Diamond! And have a same problem

Guys,
The reason why this thread will not get answered is because there is a very valid campaign to reduce the number of threads in this forum, especially the ones that have nothing to do with Developing & Hacking or with new developed software.
Too many threads on here makes searching for something specific really difficult. Also there are plenty of people out there who can't be bothered to search and treat this forum as some kind of unpaid Q&A resource.
If you had taken the time to read first you would have found this thread to post your question in...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398571.

i've been looking for this i first had a winmo phone.
hope someone finds the answer.
btw, change ur thread title to say...
"call timer while in a call" or something?
nothing wrong with ur current, just that i'm like you, want more people to understand wot we're looking for?

Orange TOUCH 3 G. A few issues... Comments please.

Just had my HTC Touch 3G on the UK orange network for a few days and have been trying to set it up for my personal tastes etc...
The Orange UNIQUE function, is there a way to just have WiFi on or off, not the hybrid thing that orange seem to want you to use. On my previous HTC phone , a Titan, I just stopped GPRS connectivity and used WiFi but with the UNIQUE setup it doesn't seem possible to do this..
The contacts list, is there anyway to show the list with first name FIRST... I have tried to find a option in the setup menus but have not managed it yet..
Most if my contacts are on first name terms.. I know to look for Joe, Fred or Sally but trying to remember the last name or if I just saved as Joe @Garage etc is a pain for me...
Strange but if I view a individual contact, it appears in the correct order, First name first, last name last etc...
Any thoughts, help etc would be appreciated on a otherwise (so far anyway !) very good device..
Thanks Phil-w
The unique thing is bobbins, I contacted orange about it and the lady in customer services basically admitted that it meant I wouldn't be able to use wifi for normal data connections! So I took the plunge and flashed it to standard HTC ROM, all is well now! I would recommend you do the same!
Yeah as jmrenshaw said just flash your phone with htc rom.Those operator roms are blocking many things on the phone.Good luck.
Where can I get the standard ROM from HTC
Hi everyone,
I'm having a nightmare of a time with Orange's changes to the phone. I want to have the phone as it would be if I bought it offline. Please help me with this.
I assume I need to flash the ROM to the standard ROM but where do I get a hold of this and how do I flash the ROM? And would I be able to get back to Orange's setup in case need to warranty purposes?
Any help would be appreaciated.

What you can do is: put first names in "File as" field, then the contact list will display first names. "Files as" will default to last name.

Yes I have seen the thread you suggest, so many thanks however, as I say in my seperate thread - it is not the "reading" of the tutorial but it is the actual carrying out of the advice because of my physical disabilities.

I've managed to do what you want to do by using one of the dumps posted on the forum here and converting that into a ROM and then flashing the phone with that ROM. Its quite straight forward but I guess you're asking if someone can do that for you. Where abouts are you based?

Yes thanks, I am asking if someone will do it for me - sorry if I was vague but get a bit embarrassed! I have to use my mouth to type so using a "Touch" phone is great but when it comes to more intricate and complicated tasks, I am afraid it gets too difficult. I will be happy to pay of course - postage as well as paying for the job to be done. I just want to get rid of the Orange branded software as I find their software is too "fidly" and I also find that normal access to wifi is easier for me when not using Orange's silly "Unique Manager".
I am based in the UK.
EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU
Thanks Azahidi,
Slowly going through all the cantacts entries, pity there is no GLOBAL way to change the name order. (Unless I have missed it !!)

Hi Ziffos,
I didn't quite understand the bit at the end 'EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU'. Does this mean that you've managed to get your phone flashed? If you have then great! If not then I might be able to do it for you. Let me know.
Any help apreciated????
Hello
I have just read all the posts here about the Unique Manager and I completely agree. It is a nightmare, Orange UK have wrecked this phone. I have just got my Mrs. a contract on this phone as I intend to set up sat nav on it for her and I have the touch HD, so off the back of your comments I am looking to flash it.
It is running V1.71 and from reading the thrads I have to revert it back to V1.41, how easy did you find it to debrand it as it appears many people have had problems and I am worried about rendering the phone useless!!!!
I have never done anything like this before but I do understand the instructions as they are very indepth, but I am worried that if any exceptions or problems present themselves I won't be able to deal with it.
How straight forward is this process?
Any help is very much appreciated.
It was a long process but worth it!
Hi there,
I've flashed my phone about 2 weeks ago now and am having a much better experience. Actually I really love the phone now so my advice would be to go for it and flash it. I didn't actually read too many of the comments, I just followed the instructions and did it. Maybe just as well as I might have been put off.
Anyway the process was very long winded as I had to take someone's raw dump and then convert that into a ROM and then flash the phone with it. Took quite a long time but I definitely feel that it was worth it. I don't know how risky it is so can't really advise you on that.
I can send you the ROM file that I did generate if you want do it. I hope it goes as smoothly as it did for me if you do decide to go ahead with it.

"Delete" soft button in Pocket Outlook? I want "New"!

Ok, I've searched, and I can't find a thread about this specifically, so I'll ask (please move this if its in the wrong place).
I don't like Manila, so I have it switched off. When using the application for sending SMS (which I am assuming is pocket outlook?), there are two soft buttons onscreen. The Right hand one is "Menu". the left hand one is "Delete". Is there any way to change this "Delete" button to "New"? I have recently swapped over from an XDA 2i and this had a "New" button, which makes more sense to me than a delete button.
Assuming that there is no way to adjust this button, I would consider DOWNGRADING my pocket outlook to the one used on my XDA. What is the probability of that working out for me?
Apologies if this seems like a dumb question....
No-one? No response at all? That's three threads I've posted so far with no response to any of them.
Great.
Maybe no one knows an answer to ypur question or, othher possibility, the ones who might have an answer are busy. Have patience and chek your posts regularly.

no response. great
Yes. You waited 4 whole hours for me to reply to your comment telling me to be patient wait for a worthwhile response. If you think giving it 4 hours before complaining about a lack of response is a long time, I suggest you check the datetime on my first two posts. Thats two days between comments, coupled with the fact nobody responded to my other threads either.
But thanks for undermining the point, you little twit. I understand that people here are here to help, and they do it for free. But a simple "Can't be done mate" comment wouldn't take 10 seconds, and I'd have my answer, instead of your really really poor interpretation of sarcasm.
I'm told that its the lowest form of wit.
please stay polite, I was just kidding on my "great" post. Sorry if I offended you. That was not my intention
It would of been great to be able to customise any button on our mobile like Excel 2003, drag and drop, replace actions etc but perhaps in future devices.
For now, the only way is Menu/New, but as a business phone I can see why "delete" has more preference, and one being due to receiving too many grouped/news emails that are usually deleted instantly.
You can see another examply where "Reply All" has higher priority then reply itself.
Have you tried to search for any 3rd party applications to see if you are able to reassign, perhaps through registry?
