WM5/6/6.1 Phone current balance on screen question - Networking

Hi everybody.
Here is my problem:
In Portugal, as in other countrys, the Network Operator, provides a code (e.g. *#123# for TMN), so the users can check their current balance without having to call the operator. Instead by dialing the code, the network sends back a message to the phone, with that information.
The procedure is as follows
Open the dialer
Insert the code (in my case *#123#)
Press Send (the green button)
Whenever I tried to do this, a baloon pops from the network status icon with the message "Waiting" and a OK button, and it just stays there endlessly, untill i get tired of waiting and press the ok button.
Now, I believe this function worked in WM2003SE, when I had a Magician, but that was a long time ago, so I'm not sure of this.
Well, the fact is that it's not working in WM5/6/6.1 in my Trinity. I've even tried with the official WM5 ROM, but no success.
Does someone know how to make this work, or even if it's still possible?
Thanks in advance

It looks USSD service is missing in the ROM, which is taking care for your application request.

It must be something else because I have USSD_service.dll and the service is active.
I've already tried changing Radio ROM, but the result is always the same.

@ FInixNOver
I'm too facing this problem of not getting the pre-paid balance by dialling *123#, I get the message 'Failed'.
Though I get the accurate pop-up message of my balance after the call has ended, which is from the service provider's side.
Earlier I've used the Elegance ROM & the balance-checking worked perfectly.

Phone bar code setting

As I am using the below mentioned OS version and Radio. I have a call barring for all outgoing INTERNATIONAL calls. Whenever I need to dial an int'l call. Thru the built-in selection for disabling the bar code, this options pops an error saying to check my phone settings!
But when I use the dial buttons to press the keys combination which my ISP provides #331*----# (dash are digits), this works on the spot in either cases, the on and off!
Any help
hello,
i have t-mobile mda II (under wm5 ,i think software is O2),
does anybody know standard password for this phone? i'd like to change CALL BARRING SETTINGS, i need CALL BARRING PASSWORD.
thanks.
as wm5 is not offical
i doubt it's a real o2 rom
and CALL BARRING sounds
very very much like something
put in the sim rather then on the
phone

No notification of missed call or new SMS

I found out that I'm not always getting a notification of a missed call or a new SMS. If I don't have any service and somebody calls me, he/she gets my voicemail. Normally if you then get service again, you receive a message saying that you have a new voicemail.
I only get that message when I'm making a phone call or when I'm sending an SMS.
If somebody calls me when my phone is off, and I turn the phone back on, I immediately get a voicemail message. So if I switch to flight-mode and back, the problem does not occur.
A friend with an Orange M500 has the same problem.
To rule out my service provider, I tried my SIM in a Nokia 6230. Then the problem did not occur.
Does anybody experience this problem? Or even better, does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks.
I think this may be a ROM problem, I seem to remember a similar problem when I had 1.11 installed. I wasn't getting the voicemail symbol appearing next to the START button when I had a voicemail waiting.
Vodafone send me an SMS so I knew from that. Since I have installed 1.12 I always see a little tap reader symbol (voicemail) at the top when I have a voicemail waiting.
Hope this helps,
M

Hi. Thanks for your response. I will try 1.12. But first I have to find it.
I have a QTek S100 and I can't find a ROM for that phone.
But I'll let you know the outcome as soon as I have upgraded.
There's a 1.12 I think in the FTP directory. I got mine from my supplier and its better than 1.11 apart from the GPRS problem which is being discussed in another topic here.
At the moment I am hard resetting my QTEK S100 with 1.12 installed and not installing the external ROMs. Hopefully this will work as one of the other guys on the forum has done this and has no GPRS problems.
Good luck

There are some versions (for example WWE_11200_120_11200) on the FTP server, but they say that I have a wrong country ID. And I don't like to use the complicated installation method (using MaUpgradeUt.exe).
Good luck with your installation.
1.12 fixed the problem. I friend uses 1.06 and he doesn't have this problem. So, 1.11 seems to be a but buggy
Thanks for your help.

Locked or not - Wizard on Orange

I have just got an o2 mini s (HTC Wizard) from work. When trying to use my Orange sim card in it the phone will boot and I can make/receive normal calls.
When trying to send SMS or change the Phone settings I get the message: "Phone is not ready please wait 15 seconds" continually.
Does this indicate that the phone is locked to o2 or not and needs an unlock code - or anyone have any other ideas?
I have tried googling/searching for similar issues on Orange with the Wizard but there doesn't appear to be a clear answer.
Thanks.

No this does not indicate anything. I had this problem before.
Try this::
Go to comm manager and turn on flight mode and then turn it right back off. Wait untill your phone re-acquires a signal and then try sending a text again.

That does not seem to clear it.

Hmmm. That worked for me. Try using lokiwiz ver.02b to sim unlock the device and then look for network wizard to configure the network settings to your new carrier.
orange SMS problem
did you ever get your problem sorted ??? I have exactly the same problem with my T Mobile Vario, unlocked and working fine for calls on Orange SIM, but same mesage as you are getting for texts. Geoff
same problem here
all sorted just load a new radio rom the faria one from here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Radio_Roms/ wait about 10 to 15 minutes and the system will update its self and say that the settings are not correct for the service provider. Hit update settings and all working. Can now use waht ever rom i want as well.

Problem with MultiSIM and HTC Shift

Hello
Some days ago I received my HTC Shift and I am very satisfied!
Unfortunately there is one strange Problem:
I am using a MultiSIM by T-Mobile, that means I have one number for multiple devices.
If the HTC Shift would make phone calls and someone calls me, the shift and my MDA Vario III would be ringing.
When I activate the Modem in my Shift it seems the Shift receives phone calls and then denies them! So nobody can call me when I am using my shift, since all calls are directed to my mailbox
Has anyone of you an idea what can I do?
(btw: I unlocked my Shift already to full WM6 )
The shift doesnt support phone calls...even if you have on sim card it wont ring
Use it for its gprs/edge/3g and sms sending n receiving

Hello
thats exactly what I like to use the shift for. I am not interested in making phone calls with it.
But the Shift is blocking calls, which should also arrive on my mobile phone...
I think HTC has made this blocking to avoid connection problems when somebody tries to calls the shift (which is not supported).
Is this right?
Might work?
I don't know for sure about T-Mobile. I am using a similar service (they call it "FlexiCard") from E-Plus. They have a function that allows you to designate one of your SIM cards as the primary card. This is the card that will receive calls (and SMS) first, only if this card is not active (phone turned off) or busy a call or SMS will be routed to the other card.
However, there seems to be a service difference between T-Mobile and E-Plus: I have the SIM card in my Shift still designated as the "primary" card. If the modem is turned on, this is interpreted by E-Plus as "busy", so calls go to my phone (which holds the "secondary" card). If the modem is turned off, the SIM card in my Shift is obviously inactive and not visible to the mobile network. So the only reason for me to switch "primary" vs. "secondary" would be to continue receiving SMS messages on my phone rather than the Shift. Unfortunately, for SMS E-Plus does not bother whether the "primary" card is active / busy or not, SMS always go to that card (understandable when you look at how SMS works on mobile networks).
If you don't find any information about switching primary/secondary card in your documentation that came with the card I suggest contacting the T-Mobile hotline. They should be able to tell you whether this functionality is available with your "MultiSIM" and how to switch "primary" between the cards.
Thank you mw65719 four your tip.
I just phoned with T-Mobile support.
They don't support it like Eplus to switch between SIMCards.
It is just possible to define a primary card for SMS service, not for phone calls. Whenever someone calls me both phones are ringing.
So I will have to buy a new contract with T-Mobile just for data transfer, which is more expensive than the combination of phone/data contract.
I have the same issue with the MultiSIM from t-mobile. Both phones (the other one is a Touch) are ringing, after the first ring a line-busy message is generated.
Seems that the Shift in canceling the incoming call after the first ring.
Does anyone has an idea to solve this problem instead of splitting the MultiSIM into two separate contracts?
Have just opened a suuport case at HTC Europe concering this issue. Seems to be a German (and t-mobile) specific problem.....
speech service ?!

find out how the call canceled
a: is it the 3g modem that set the networkstatus to -> data service only
b: or a apllication that will call canceled - reason busy
see here what i mean
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/laptop/hyperterminalmulti-sim-anleitung.pdf
I think it's part of the WinMo/SnapVue side.
Vista enables a lan connection with WinMo for internet.
So there could be settings in the registry to enable/disable this busy status.
I try to find somethin, but unfortunately i'm not a pro like others here in the Board.

I had some phone calls with T-Mobile Business support and they told me a trick how to activate the phone function, but I dont get this to work.
What I have to do is the following:
1. Download and install a hyper terminal application on Windows mobile (I found http://www.cambridgevx.com (Server seems to be down at the moment))
2. Open a direct connection to the modem
3. Enter the following commands:
3a: AT_odo?
(this should show 1 which means speech is deactivated
3b: AT_odo=0
(speech is beeing activated)
4. Reset Windows Mobile and the phone should be activated
I was told this is known to work on some data modems and should work on the HTC Shift too.
But always I try setp 2 I get an error "cannot open data connection"
Has anyone an idea?

problem there is no phone pad aka dial pad in production models as far as i know. so even if u can re enable it u wont have any images etc... it'll most likely require a custom rom or if we get lucky a cab.

I am not interested in using the phone pad.
I like to solve the busy line problem (read some posts above). When activating the speech on modem side, this would be solve and I could use my Shift with my MultiSIM-Card

souds interesting ! .. have you try some scenarios ? with 3G enabled, with 3G disabled, with wifi enabled, with wifi disabled ... etc ?
I can't try myself.. but as there are data connection through 3G.. I think that it is possible to find a solution to the step 2 !
Anybody found a solution for this?
Getting my shift soon, and im going for a twin sim solution. would suck if i cant get phone calls on my kaiser cos the shift is on in snap vue mode and rejects the calls.
I am experiencing the same Problem with my Shift.
It is crazy, because my Mobile rings a halt time, then the Shift rejects the call. Afterwards, I have to call back.
The problem should be able to solve, but you have, anyhow, to tell the shifts modem not to reject voice calls. Still, I do not know how to tell the modem
Hello?
Has anyone resolved this issue? I'm a new MultiSIM user, and the idea of not having any internet with my shift is ****ing me off (that would make it as useful as a brick ).
Any resolution is appreciated.
Cheers.
HI @ all, i don´t know, if you fixed that problem.
I´m a multi SIm user too. With the original Radio Version (shipped with german SHIFT) the same problem. After that, i update the radio Version to the Phone edition radio Version:
see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486234
(but here always my WinCE Side was really slow??) so I Downgrade back the phone edition
1.27.35.28 and ce OS version 5.2.1620 (I00 ROm I think)
And now, Phone is working, and never the Multisim usage hangs up.
I don´t know why, i play every 1 month with Shift and upgrade, downgrade something, then the most time shift is not in use, so i don´t make a history what happend...
:-(
But with the new radio Version it will work.
maybe this rom work too:
Cmonex posted another radio for backup. This radio is for original rom (ie all other roms from the forum). Look for the link on page 5, or here
http://rapidshare.com/files/20211808...ift1582123.zip <- this is not for the phone or for this rom

it happens with all multiple sims when you have all the devices activated!!!...
when you have multiple sims and you have all the devices open...
which device should accept the call ??
it does not work as douplex land line... not all of your mobile devices should ring at the same time ... obviously the one that was opened first and got the signal from your provider should get the line...
the twin sim solution works fine with me ... plus unlimited internet access from phone and the shift...
BUT one device open at a time ...

credit checking problem

i dont know why but whenever i check my balance it pops up saying failed
anyone else having the same problem
i have flashed two roms and have flashed two radio only roms
anyone having solution to this problem??
What service and what are you using to check your balance?
I assume he's using the USSD codes eg on O2 *#10# should return the balance.
By the way I can't get mine working either despite the USSD DLL being in place and also what are I think the correct registry settings for USSD.
Mike
I did #225# and it works for me. Is there a difference between those codes and the USSD ones?
edit//using that code doesn't work for me.

No those are the USSD codes. (of course each telecoms provider uses different codes, but yes that is an example of a USSD code)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSD
For some reason some folks just can't get them to work and just get either a "failed" or "command not recognized" message.
I know some cooked ROMs have the USSD Dll file removed, but that's not true in my case.
Mike
yes i am using ussd codes but after switching the phone on,it works but after sending or making a call it shows failed
so what can we do and how can we check that the ussd dll is placed and where can i get this dll
Maybe those who are having problems don't have USIMs?
I'm using o2 payg. When I had a schaps rom, requesting a ussd always failed, but the automatic ussd after spending credit always worked. Now I'm using CRC's, and it always works properly.
still unsolved
actually i had schaps then i changed to the one new samsung omnia built but still same problem.i also used the schaps 8.2sunshower
will anyone please help me as it really annoys me..
Same Problem here
Hey does anyone knows what's going on with this... i currently change to T-Mobile and when trying to get the credit inf by dialing #999#(pre-paid) nothing comes out...no balloon notification , nothing...i changed the dialers from my smartphone....tried idialer(this one doesn't work because of the GC implemented in the software) , the orig wind mobile dialer ...none of them work. Strange thing same phone and an AT&T sim card does the trick when dialing *777# . I thought it was the phone but doesn't make sense...if i change the sim to any other phone it work (T-Mobile) now i'm thinking that it's a problem with the IMEI No (just a thought) when requesting The IMEI No i get something like this : yyyyyyyyyyyyyy... this is getting frustrating . Can anyone please share their thoughts ....anyone had this problem before? Could it be the USSD dll? Do you know another software that acts like USSD? Thanks In advanced
Back....no luck
I figured it up now...but still do not know how to fix it...the problem is the phone ....it has a cooked ROM- it's one of the Iphone copy M89 ...the deal is that i can't dial any numbers with # in front it worked on the at&T cause the request code for credit is *777# t-mobile has #999# i tried the sim in another phone and it works...tried it in another m89 same problem...maybe this will help if someone is reading...thanks
