Hi there,
I have synced all my contacts from Outlook 2003 indo the XDA II and cannot make any phone calls any more, after a while of playing around I’ve found out that if I take away the +61 in front of the phone number it dials with no problems.
I have looked all over support forums on the net, have spent many hours playing around with the XDA II but cannot find away around the problem, My reginal settings are all correct (All set to Australia) and all the phone settings I’ve set up as Australia as well.
I would really appreciate it if some one could point out a way to fix this problem I am having, as you can imagine it is VERY annoying editing the number before calling and after syncing up again if you ever edit the contact in Outlook it automaticly puts the country code back in.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated… thanks very much in advance!

I had the same problem here in The Netherlands.
Your problem is not the +61 on the phone numbers. If you go into Outlook, and take off the leading 0 from the area code, you'll find it working properly again.
The real problem here is that Microsoft designed the software for use with the US phone number system, where area codes don't have leading zero's. Hence, this problem will arise almost everywhere outside the USA.
Microsoft has repeatedly been asked to adapt their software to this problem, but so far with extremely little response.
Thanks VERY much for your reply HageM.. I will give it a go and see how it all works... GREAT WORK!!!
Hiya,
I quite often ring through Call1899.co.uk for some international dialing as they have a 0207 access number. I can quite happily manually dial through this, but does anyone know how to route calls through them by setting it up in a contact?
On my Nokia you just put a <pause> in and then it connected, paused, and sent the right DTMF tones but I can't seem to get this to work in WM5?
Any pointers greatly appreciated
Cheers,
Steve.
Take a look at this

I have been using it with both calling card and Calling via access number as yourself for last 2 weeks and so far im quite pleased with it.
Hi
I can't seem to find how to make video calls?
Even in a 3G area, icon on the screen showing me I'm in a 3G area I get no options on the phone to make a video call?
On all the screen shots I've seen there is a video call button on the dialup screen but not one on my trion?
Anyone got any ideas please?

what ROM are you running? What device are you using...we need more info before we can help you!!
Got that fed up with it I did a hard reset & this time it installed all the right settings & video calling was there after the reset!
Thanks for the reply.
If anyone else has this problem they will know what to do
that was a little extreme dont you think?
if you were using WM6 or even another rom that didnt have it all you would have had to find was the cab for the phone dialer. in the Hermes WM6 forum there are plenty around.
for future reference
Thanks for the info!
I think the video dailing didn't show because when I set the phone up it had a dud sim in it then I put my old 3G sim in, when I reset it went through a setup that didn't happen before, obviously downloading the cab files you mentioned!
Hello,
I bought a new HTC advantage x7501 unlocked, trying to use it on Fido network, however whenever I call the unit, the unit does not being to ring until at least the second ring, usually the third and often I miss a phone call completely. The signal strength is at its maximum when tried this. I did do a hard reset, searched google and all nada. Can someone please help ?
Thanks
Just tonight I was running call tests on my unit, and I see the same 2-ring delay. Doesn't matter if its asleep or fully on. I still have plenty of time to answer before voicemail kicks in. That delay is dictated by your carrier.
What sim card are you running? Do you know? Is there any way the check if you have the 64k or the 128k? I found some threads not related specifically to the X7501 but to the HTC hermes, that if you have the 64k sim card and an HTC hermes you might get some communication troubles, but that thread was pretty old and I'm sure HTC fixed that issue already.
Anyhow, hard reset doesn't solve this problem, and I do not even know how to begin addressing this issue.
Try some or all of the following:
Make sure your ringtone is in the Windows folder, or the ringtones folder.
Try a .wav ringtone (yes, i prefer mp3 too - wavs are too big)
Tweaks2k2.net has a disable 3 second delay option - there is probably a registry key somewhere.

which radio version are u using sometimes it is releated to the radio version and upgrading or downgrading to another rdio helps the problem. missing calls are mostly releated to radio version of devices.
I have not flashed this unit at all, and the default ringtone is there and yes I tried changing it too.
I'm begging to suspect that this might be a sim card issue. I'm using SM-32 from fido, is there one that is sm-64 or 128? google search did not reveal much..
Thanks
hi,
i use phonealarm software with my athena, and i have the next issue:
if i active phonealarm, the phone sounds after the second or third ring,
but if i deactive phonealarm, the phone sounds just after the first rings.
use you PA soft?
note: i have tested and obtained the same results storing the rings at the
storage card, microdrive or programs memory. the problem is PA !!
next probe:: enable PA but set to "System" the "ring" and "ring type" parameters
at the all profiles. the result is fine: plays the configured sounds after the
first ring [i use mp3]
S.O.S
Is PhoneAlarm software enabled by default? I can not seem to be able to locate this anywhere on the phone?
Plus I got a little bit further with Fido, I have disabled my voicemail and now the phone rings after the second ring. Does this make any sense to anyone ?
S.O.S
SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, READ:
Simple, the "Radio" code that comes with the x7501 / x7500 unlocked can NOT handle the the "Name Display" feature properly, thus causing the phone to miss class and or ring later. In EU they do NOT have "Name Display", wow. Thats the problem. I wish to that I found the answer sooner, I thought that is the purpose of such boards like these, no? Am I that wrong?

Just need to call your carrier and have them increase the ring count before voicemail picks up. Tonight at dinner my mother complained about this on her phone - it would go to vm after 3 rings. She called cust service and upped it to 6 rings. Problem solved.

is the solution at the palonek web ?? i don't not !!
Sorry if this is in the wrong area... I'm using a hermes (actually a cingular 8525) with the schaps 4.01 rom installed. I'm having an issue where I am not able to answer the phone because it stops ringing too soon. I can't get it to ring longer than 20 seconds. I'm betting this is a provider issue, but I can't even find "ring length" in the voicemail setup. I'm using AT&T.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I did a forum search and didn't turn up with anything useful (probably not using the right terms)>
