I'm buying an HTC dream from ebay that I wish to use with Bell. Since Bell uses UMTS 850mhz and 1900mhz I can use an HTC dream with Bell, all I need is a sim card.

So I call Bell (the company all Canadians hate) and ask them if I can simply get a SIM card for my plan, and they tell me "no, they need the IMEI of the HTC dream to make sure it works with their billing system".

Now, it's understandable that they'd want the IMEI to make sure the phone isn't stolen or blacklisted, but to check if it will work with their billing system?

To make matters worse I don't have the IMEI because, as the dream that I bought is from ebay and I'm pretty sure the seller would freak out if I asked him for the IMEI.

I have the HTC vogue with Bell now, with the unlimited $7 internet plan. They told me my HTC vogue is a "pda phone" not a "smartphone" and therefore an HTC dream might not work with my "pda phone" plan because it's a smartphone:S

Well silly me, I was under the impression that my smartphone was a smartphone...does anyone have any insight on what to do about any of this?
[G1 General] bjtheone:
Beg, borrow, "steal" an Sim so you can boot the phone... IMEI is available under About Phone ->Status.
[G1 General] Vulgrim:
imei number is on the back of the phone under the battery

i don't see why the seller wouldn't give you the imei number if you were buying the phone
[G1 General] AverageCanadian:
yeah, you might have to wait till the phone arrives and just get the IEMI from the back of the phone.

You could also try going to a Bell World and paying $5 for the sim card and $35 to activate it.
[G1 General] Macmee:
I need them to put the sim card on my pre existing plan, as I'm on a contract until 2012:(
[G1 General] Deleted member 1979557:
bell is jerking you around, all you need to tell them is the number of digits in the IMEI, thats all. the Dream has 15 digits. They are just giving you a polite answer to say they dont want to have anything on their system that they didnt get a cut of the profits from.
[G1 General] AverageCanadian:
When you activate the sim card it should be activated to your current plan.

As for what Bell told you about a pda phone, that might have been their polite way of saying dumbphone.

The $7 unlimited browsing is only for dumb phones and the original HTC touch(which I just googled and Bell called it the vogue?). AFAIK it's not compatible with any other phones.

So if you want data on the Dream you'll have to go to their more expensive options, I think $30 for 1 gig. I don't know what they have for cheap. If you're an average user and don't stream radio/video you'll need between 300mb and 600mb most likely.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You should be able to activate it with *any* phone, then switch the sim into the one you want.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybo13:
I have successfully flashed my phone with the CyanogenMod-4.2.4 rom, enabled WIFI and can browse the internet.

BUT, when I try to activate my Gmail through the activation wizard with WIFI enabled I get the following error message: “Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.”

I am using a T-Mobile pre-paid account, which means I don't have a data plan, so activation over WIFI is my only option.

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
strange it should work maybe your connection is the prob? Try flashing the rom again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybo13:
Frustrating is more like it. I have spent days search this forum and the web for an answer.

I started out with CyanogenMod-4.2.3 installed and I thought that might have been the problem so last night I flashed 4.2.4 and still have the same problem.

I can browse the internet so I have a hard time believing it is a connection problem. I did come across a post earlier this week where someone was having issues with his WPA2 connection. Later today I will change the connection type and see if that fixes the problem.

If you can think of anything else I might try that would be great.

Thanks for the quick reply.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybo13:
I changed my WIFI settings to WEP and WPA but still got the same error:confused:. Any more suggestions would be great.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
The problem is probably due to gapps failing

keep trying and maybe it will go through
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybo13:
I finally got it to work and for those who may run across this thread with the same issue here what I did:

I ran across a thread on a different forum that stated the reason I was having the problem was because I skipped the initial activation process when the phone was first turned on. Well with CM4.2.4 and other rooted roms there is an option to skip the initial activation process, which I did.

So I went back and reread the other threads about how to activate your phone over wifi and they all state the same thing, you will need root access, which allows you access to execute debug commands from your PC to control your phone.

So I did a hard reset and re-flashed CM4.2.4. Then after I rebooted my phone I followed the instruction on this thread http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9471 to turn on the wifi. Once the wifi was on I disconnected my phone from my computer and proceeded to activate it, which worked like a charm.

This has been breached a few times on forum, but havent as yet seen an answer....

On O2 all my recieved picture messages get resized incredibly small!! In turn i cannot, irrespective of settings, send MMS messages!!!

Have any other Rhodium users on O@ (contract) managed to rectify this issue???

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monomer888:
I'm not sure about your issues of not being able to send MMS - the automatic settings worked for me. :confused:

Receving MMS is different, and I had to fool o2 into thinking I was using a Nokia N95. The o2 network doesn't recognise the Touch Pro 2, so scales the size of the pics to a default (i.e. tiny) size that it is sure will work. See if this helps: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4742895&postcount=4

[Touch HD General] tommy29:
seem that i have to update the manila....

can i use a .cab to install the manila? Or do I have to flash a new ROM?
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
No cabs for manila exist (and they likely never will). If you want a different version of manila, you would have to flash a costume ROM which has that version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DLTempler:
I had not seen or played with the T-Mo version until last night when my neighbor brought his over.

First, he can not shut off his screen by a quick tap of the power button. Is there a reg fix for this?

But, his unit goes to Google Maps and gives him his location within 100 feet. Mine uses the closest cell tower and is often a mile off. Why does my ATT not pinpoint like the T-Mo?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pistou:
Google Maps has an option to "use GPS" (last option in the Menu). It's possible, I suppose that the TMOUS version uses GPS by default (?) or maybe uses some version of A-GPS that triangulates using cell towers (not that I know anything about what's possible using cell towers -- as is likely obvious to those who do know).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SlimJ87D:
Are you sure you are using the latest version of Google maps? Mine pretty much gets it very close to my spot.

And I don't know what you are talking about with the tap power button? I also have a tilt.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DLTempler:
The earlier comment about use gps did the trick. It got pretty close. Put me in my neighbors house. If only she were hot!

If I tap my power button the screen goes black. tap it again and it awakens. The TMO version my other neighbor has doesn't "sleep" with the tap.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BrokenPixel:
I've had both phones and they both have the sleep button working, at least on mine, my T-mo one had stock WinMo 6.1 by the time, my tilt 2 has Energy ROM, there is a little app that lets you re map keys very simple to use.

Here's the app:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
My buddy's tmoTP2 slept when he tapped the power button on NRG 10/07. Would be odd for the stock rom not to do that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jdwrrzmm:
T-Mobile has closer/more towers. Whatever the reason, Google can triangulate with the towers better.

Any when i had a stock ROM the power button made it sleep. I have no idea what is up with his.

[HD2 General] kayeng:
After i hang up on a call (when the phone is in sleep mode and the screen is locked) the screen unlocks. this is quite contrary to what is mentioned in the phone manual chapter 1 page 45. this becomes an issue since i use a bluetooth headset and the phone remains in its sleeve/case and after every call, a whole bunch of applications will launch since the case is in contact with the screen. have i overlooked some settings or are there other owners who have faced this issue?

ideas and suggestions welcomed
[HD2 General] hagba:
did you check it out if any of the hardware buttons being pressed against the case hence wakening up the phone.?
[HD2 General] xiniyo:
i had it to only closed al my apps in taskm and it stoped flickering
[HD2 General] LarryLauLive:
My HD2 is also behaving in the same way even in controlled test conditions - the phone unlocks when a call comes in (I'm presented with slide to accept or reject call) The phone unlocks during the call, but fails to lock again on disconnect (either by pressing "end call" or hang up via bluetooth).

Can anyone verify this? Is it interacting with something I installed?
[HD2 General] LarryLauLive:
I believe I found a (complicated) workaround.

What I want: leave HD2 inside pocket, answer calls with bluetooth headset, hang up and phone will go back to lock.

Problem: After I hang up using bluetooth or press the big red "End Call" button or the other party hangs up, the phone stays unlocked! It stays powered on and all kinds of buttons gets clicked.

Practically all lock sw uses their own lock screen (which I don't want to install). CSDevCtrl does not trigger by phone. TouchLockPro uses its own transparent lock screen but can respond to phone events. Using the !SUSPEND for TAPI\Ended under settings does not seem to work when the screen dims about 50 secs into the call.

Solution: Use TouchLockPro together with LockAndOff. Get TAPI\Ended to run LockAndOff will turn phone off, whether by bluetooth, big red "End Call" button, or the other party hangs up.

BTW: I think there is some confusion on whether the phone locks when you

1. press the big red "End Call" button, or

2. the hard "End call" button

in the forums.
[HD2 General] linivan:
I noticed that HD2 have a light sensor next to the top ear speaker.

During a call, if the phone is put near the ear and cover the light sensor , the screen become non-active which is good.

If anyone can come up with a lock sceen using this light sensor , then the problem with random launch of program when phone inside pocket will be solved.

This lock screen should only activated right after an end of call, beacuse , sometime you may want to use the phone in a dark place.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's the proximity sensor that turns the screen on and off during a call, not the light sensor. How else would it work in the dark? (which it does)
[HD2 General] kochavy:
My proximity sensor does not work, when I am getting a call my screen turn off and when I am taking the phone out from my face it turn on only when I am out side at the sun!! the screen stay off when I am inside room. I tested it with flsh light and it is working also.
[HD2 General] ChitownWingMan:
I have a T-Mobile US version of the HD2. I am having the same problem when using the bluetooth system in my car. After answering or making a call the phone stay unlocked. And then starts making random calls while I am driving!!!!

[HD2 General] zxszxs:
Solved

Same trouble with me until I use the following software. I tried it and it's almost perfect. unzip it and just copy to your HD2, run CallerLoc.exe and click Yes, you'll find:when you hang up, or he/she hang up a call, or a call is established, the screen will turn off.

Why say 'almost perfect', the software is in chinese, but the filename is in english. and it's a call location software but with the function we need.

To stop or before you delete the software, run Callerloc.exe and click Yes again.

Hope this will help you. Sorry I don't find a English version of this software. I esure and I'm using this software perfectlly with my Leo.

Greetings.

I understand this is quite an old thread I'm digging up but I need a little help as well and I didn't want to start a new topic just for that.

I've this silly problem, appeared right out of the blue:

You all know the standard manila behavior, when the phone is idle, the screen first dims and after some more time, depending on your preferences, the screen locks. It also locks if you press the power off button. This all was happening to me till this morning.

I added an event in the calendar (the only change I made today) and after that, my phone dims and then goes in sleep mode after the designated period of time, but DOESN'T lock!!! It doesn't even lock when I press the power off button. I can still lock it by pressing Start and then lock or by press and hold the power button and choose the lock phone option. So one would say that it's still operational, so why bother about it, but I kinda liked the standard function and I have to freaking idea why it changed!!!

I'd be most appreciative if you could offer some help with that.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Soft reset didn't solve the problem. Erasing the calendar event didn't either.

My phone runs the factory ROM (1.66.482.1 ELL), I haven't changed anything other than user settings (yeah, I'm a noob... :P )

Thanks in advance!

Pocketshield could be the end of your problems. You can try it for 10 days and see how it goes...
[HD2 General] nasos79:
But why do I need to buy third party software in order to revert my phone to it's original operation?

No, this is not the answer I am looking for. I was wondering if you know of any kind of settings that might have changed by accident and caused this undesired behavior.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] rkrims:
The best to return to normal operation would be a hard reset. Or you can spend a while trying.

You can try

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Enable=1

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Active=1

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] AcidUK:
Hello folks,

I've had a kaiser now for a couple of years, but recently its developed an interesting problem/quirk.

When I first boot it up, I'll get one touch on the touchscreen, and then no more. Doesn't matter if i turn the screen off and leave it for a day, or anything, I'll get no more until I reboot.

One time recently, however, it worked for multiple touches over 30 seconds or so. When I picked it back up again later, it went back to its usual self.

I've ruled out any software issues by flashing to a much newer rom with a new radio. The behaviour is still the same.

My first thought is that there might be something pressing on one of the edges of the screen, so that I can "click", but not release. I tried cleaning out under the bevel with a pin, and although i pulled out half the contents of my pockets, the issue remains unresolved. I'm ordering some small torx screwdrivers to get the bevel off, to give it a more thorough cleaning.

Does anyone have any other ideas I could look into? I'm hoping its not a dead screen, although its very unusual behaviour if it is.

Lastly, I came across an app a long time ago that was being used to show the ability of multitouch on touchscreens. It would show the pressure/point of contact on screen. If I could get something like this, or indeed any information on the screen pressure, I would know for certain whether my theory about being able to press but not release is accurate. I've searched, but I havent managed to turn up anything. Does anyone have this cab/something like it?

Thanks for any help guys.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] 100thMonkey:
1st post in teh Topaz forum.

So I have a pure and have been using FusionVoicemail Plus (FVMPlus) with my Treo Pro for awhile. Apparently, there's some coding in there that makes the sms trigger that causes the FVMPlus program downlaod visual voicemail not work correctly in that it cannot be suppressed (shows up as just numbers) and does not fucntion correctly as a trigger. The authors of FVMPlus are aware of the problem and say that its do to fuddling with the ROM.

So, are there any other xda users that have found a good ROM for the Pure that gets rid of the ATT mucking up a beautiful device. All the extra space from a clean rom without the crapware would be nice too and I'd like to use my voicemail program too.

thoughts?
