GV (unofficial Google Voice app), MMI error - Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps

Hey guys, just curious if anybody has this successfully running?
While the official app works, I keep getting a message when i try to dial from the GV app; 'connection error or invalid mmi code'.
Attempting to remedy the situation, I dialed '*9' in the regular dialer, but same issue.
Can anybody verify that Hero phones can or cannot display a correct mmi code by dialing *9?
I am on T-mobile US, btw.
Thanks.

ok dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me
add comma (,) in the end of the code
example:
*100*2# into *100*2#,
works for me

Cannot recognize one or more recipients or the address is not valid

The above error drives me nuts!
I got that popup error everytime I send SMS.
If I click YES, the message will be sent anyway.
I tried all sort of combination of number in the Outlook Contact:
+31624000222
Or 624000222
Or 0624000222
+31 = the country code.
Anyone know why I got that error?
How to fix that?
Thanks
Anyone does not get this problem?
have you tried using 011 (011624000222) instead of the + ? i had to do that when i was living in germany and using t-mobile on my wizard that had wm6 on it.. just a thought ...though adding the 0 in front of the dialed number (0624000222) seemed to work too
Yes, I did that. And it did not work.
Anyway, I gave up and hard reset the device.
I installed everything again and now it is ok, no error popup like that anymore.

After few troubleshoots & hard resets, i finally got the solution:
go to messaging/menu/options/address tab
(in, contacts, get email addresses from) : choose [all e-mail fields].
it will solve ur problem.
i;m having the same prob. the phone can't recognize the country code or something ... when the country code is added to the number the local caller name is not displayed. and if the country code is removed from the number then in SMS the sender name is not displayed as most operators send the numbers with country code in the message headers ... damn !
checking the get address from all fields does work.
i forgot that I had unchecked that the other day..lol
Hi,
I tried doing whats described above but in my case, the phone already had the option "selected all fields" selected. I tried deselecting and selecting it again but in vain...
Any other suggestions??

P.S: I have a samsung omnia
thanks - found this and it appears to work for me. Message was bugging me.

Speed Dial for Call Forwarding

Had a check through the search but didn't find anythging relating to my minor problem.
I have set up 2 contacts and asigned them to speed dials to activate and another to deactivate call forwarding and this works fine through the phone applet. However, when I try and asign the same codes to a third party app, like the favourite contacts tab in HTC home, the speed dial will not work and returns an error mentioning signal or incorrect number.
The codes I use are
**21* number # to activate
##21# to deactivate
Could it be that these GSM codes are not recognised through the third party apps?
Its not a huge problem but I am curious as to why it doesn't work - I also tried with voice dial but the same error comes back.
Anyone with a similar problem of fix for this?
I am on o2 with stock WM6.1 Rom.

Error: Invalid Number when texting

From: 1 (121) 611-611
Error invalid number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.
Anyone else getting this, and has anyone been able to fix it?
I found a site with people having the issue with the iPhone and ATT, among other carriers. I deleted the conversation thread, deleted the contact, rebooted the phone, re-added the contact with the area code, and it is still trying to send the message without the area code. On a new message I can just add the area code, but when the person answers I hve to delete the thread and start a new one in order to reply. Very annoying and only with one person...
No one is getting this? I know what is going on, the phone is removing the area code when said contact responds to my text messages....there has to be someone else getting this Ive tredeverytging

hey im having the same problem, any fix yet? s0o0o0o0o0 annoying.
I am also having this issue. I have tried deleting msgs, contact, rebooting phone, adding contact on the sim and on the phone. I can compose the msg and click the person and it will show 1(XXX)XXX-XXXX and then when i send and go back into the msg it removes the 1(XXX). And leaves the 7 digits. I have had them send me a msg and it will show the complete number but as soon as I go back into the msg it only shows the 7 Digits. I have read that a reset fixes this but surely there is another way. It only does it to one person also.
Seems to be a bug in a particular version of the messaging app, as I had the problem on stock JG6 (?) and not on JM2. I haven't noticed the problem on JM5 (though I haven't used it long) and perhaps it's fixed in JH2? We can only hope!

none of my contacts have a 1 in front.
try that.
To test this from another phone I created a test contact with my own number in it. Saved it to my sim and left the 1 at front of the number. Sent that contact a text message and it came through correctly. Probably doesn't have an issue with the "1" and more likely another problem with the messaging app.
The only time I've ever received that message is when I've accidentally sent a text message to a contacts land-line instead of their cell.
Have you tried adding a + in front of the 1? So your number would be +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
Yep tried it

Yes I actually did try adding the + sign and then 1 and the area code and number and I am still receiving the error message.

[Q] Dialing Straight Numbers

I've been asking around and nobody seems to know how to dial a number such as 332211. Using a Captivate. When I use the straight dial number it always puts a "-" in the middle 332-211 so the call won't go through. That number is what they call a short code. It's for text messages. I noticed even tv stations have them so you can get text messages about incidents etc.
Thanks

Did you try creating a new contact? Did you try putting *#*# before the number and #*#* after the number?
Thank you for the reply so fast gtg465x. I have tryed the contact create, didn't work. I tryed your *# but when I get to the last #* the phone goes blank. If I hit send the phone goes to the contact list.
like you said its a text message code... like 466453 for texting google...
You need to use your messaging app. not your dialer.
Phone numbers in the US are 7 digits (+area code) not 6.
Use the dialer to make phone calls and the Messaging app for sms texts.
There are also short codes for accessing various settings in the phone that you can enter into the dialer, but those are almost always surrounded by *# like *#06# which will display your IMEI
Hi pietro_spina - Ok that makes sense. However, I don't have a texting service on my phone. I'm trying to use GoogleVoice for texting. After a short search it appears Google isn't set up to let us use 6 digit codes. I tryed it and it doesn't go through. I will keep searching.
Thanks for the answer

If you use the google voice widget (select the text icon... It looks like paper) I have sucess using googles own six digit code. It cant be an empty message though.
The voice widget is part of the google voice app in the market.

When you go to google voice then submenu top left is a peice of paper with a pencil on it. Below it says "compose". Is that the one you are talking about? If so I've tryed it and it doesn't work. I did see in one of the reads something about the phone needs to be sms enabled. I wonder if the Captivate can't do it?
It works for me. I dont know what else to say.
I only know one short code. Google search... 466453 put that in the "to" field and as your message type "help" and google will text back some instructions.
Maybe post the short code you are trying to use? Is it some sort of pay code? Google voice might block that sort of thing.
Good Morning pietro_spina - I tryed your 466453 and it worked. It did list as 466-453 in the return message. The one I've been trying is BestBuy 332211 with text of GAMER and it won't go through. Google says error in sent message.
Sorry dude. I guess if they don't have any info about that sort of thing in the google help pages, then you are out of luck I guess.

[Q] Starting an MMI Code with LauncherPro?

As you might know giffgaff credit balance checks are all done via MMI codes. I'm currently using LauncherPro and wanted to know how to put a shortcut in place to run certain MMI codes at the touch of an icon.
Is it possible and if so how can it be done?
Many thanks (new here).
Found the solution. Just made a shortcut to direct dial by saving the MMI code as one of my contacts.
