Nokia 6120C and phonebook names display problem.

You can read about this problem on many forums

One is this.

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-Devices-and-S60/Nokia-6120c-or-many-S60-phones-messaging-and-reflecting/m-p/354063

You have contacts on your phonebook and the name is not displayed when
you get a call/sms. You have no duplicated entries on the phonebook.

This is how I solved it. I don't know if some/all of the steps are
necessary, but you will get an idea.

1. It was on v.3 and I reseted it completelly (you have to intro a
code while booting up). That didn't resolve the problem.

2. Then upgraded to v.6. Still with problem.

3. The number It had problems to display was my own number. There was
no duplicated entry on the phonebook but I found a contact called "Int
voice mail" which had this similarity:

"My number" +countrycode851xxxxx
"Int voice mail" +countrycode8551xxxxx

The only difference was that extra 5. If I call that number I get a
message saying that I have tried to call myself.

How did I find it? I deleted my own number's contact and then I called
myself. That contact appeared.

4. After I deleted that contact, the problem has disappeared.

---- Recommendation:
Upgrade (see nokia website)
Check duplicated/similar phone numbers
Reset completely if nothing else solve the problem.

Hope it helps someone.

Huawei E220 USB Modem on Linux (conf files for 3Ireland)

I don't use it anymore since 2008, but before I forget everything, I'd like to share the files/scripts that took me so long to compile in order to make it work. Just in case, I was using Linux Debian.

The modem is great, but 3Ireland is not so great.

Files to modify

/etc/ppp/files ? Not sure about this.

This is the script I call after connecting the modem and waiting a few seconds.



============================= /where/you/want/connect3Ireland.sh ==================================================
 #!/bin/bash


echo -e "\n Bringging up/down network interfaces."
sudo ifconfig eth1 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig lo up  && echo "Done!!" || echo "NOT Done.!!!!!!!!"
 
echo -e "\n rmmod usb_storage"
sudo rmmod usb_storage && echo "Done." || echo "NOT Done.!!!!!!!!"

echo -e "\n modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003"
 sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003 && echo "Done." || echo "NOT Done.!!!!!!!!"


echo -e "\n Now, pon"
# and then (as user)
pon && echo "Miaaauuuu.......!!!!" || echo "Grrrrr.... :o( "
 
# Check the mail
kmail --check


exit

Caveats:

- Do not use usb extension cables, unless it works well with your modem. In my case the speed was lower and the modem was getting very hot.
 - You have to wait a few seconds for the (blue I believe) signal to run the script.
- The SIM inside the modem, you have to put it on a mobile and remove the PIN protection.





Many months after I stopped using the 3G service I wanted to unlock the modem. I paid it in full but 3Ireland had no obligation (according with Irish law) to unlock it and they didn't do it.
 The reason is that I wanted to use the modem to make backups of my SIM cards (5+ at the moment).


================= To unlock this Huawei E220 USB Modem:

From windows (you can do it from a Windows in a Virtual Machine too).
 In about 20 min.
If any step fail, try again SLOWLY. BE PATIENT.
