A310 USERS I FOUND OUT HOW TO GET CUSTOM BANNERS DISPLAYED AT ALL TIMES!!!BUT YOU CAN'T CALL ANYONE!:(

**mattd2589** · 12-23-2002, 9:53 PM

OK, I'M ALMOST THERE.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE CUSTOM BANNER THING AND I REMEMBERED MY OLD NOKIA 3360 WITH AT&T icon

. TO GET A CUSTOM BANNER, YOU HAD TO CHANGE THE NAM 2 SETTINGS. WELL, I WAS PLAYING AROUND IN THE SERVICE MENU, MENU-6-*-000000, AND SAW THAT YOU COULD CHANGE THE NAM 2 SETTINGS. SO, I WENT THROUGH THE NAM 1 SETTINGS, WROTE THEM ALL DOWN, THEN WENT INTO THE NAM 2 SETTINGS AND PUT THE SAME THING THAT WAS FOR NAM 1 FOR EACH VALUE.
HERES THE DETAILS
1. HIT MENU-6-*-000000
2.HIT RIGHT AND THEN KEEP HITTING RIGHT AND COPYING ALL THE INFO DOWN ON THE SCREENS UNTIL YOU GET TO BASIC NAM 1 PROGRAMMING COMPLETE, THEN HIT LEFT.
3. AFTER THAT THE SCREEN SHOULD READ SEC CODE 000000 OR SOMETHING, HIT RIGHT, AND KEEP HITTING RIGHT AND COPYING DOWN EVERYTHING THATS ON EACH SCREEN, U'LL NEED THIS LATER FOR NAM 2 SETTINGS.
4. ONCE YOU GET TO THE SCREEN THAT SAYS NAM 2 SETTINGS, HIT LEFT FOR EDIT.
5.NOW, HERES WHEN THE NAM1 SETTTINGS COME INTO PLAY. FOR EVERY OPTION IN THE NAM 2 SETTINGS, TYPE IN THE SAME THING THAT WAS IN FOR THE NAM1. E.G. FOR NAM2 HOME SID, TYPE IN THE SAME HOME SID FOR NAM1..SO ON AND SO ON... GO THROUGH ALL THE NAM 2 SETTINGS, CHANGE THEM TO THE NAM1 EQUIVILENTS, AND THEN IT SHOUDL SAY NAM2 PROGRAMMING COMPLETE AND YOUR PHONE SHOULD RESTART.
6. WHEN YOUR PHONE STARTS BACK UP, GO TO MENU-0-2-1 AND SET THE NAM TO NAM2.
YOUR BANNER SHOULDN'T FLASH ANYMORE
VIOLA, YOU HAVE A CUSTOM BANNER AND YOUR PHONE CAN RECIEVE CALLS..BUT HERES THE DOWNER..WHENEVER YOU TRY TO MAKE A CALL, A MESSAGE COMES UP SAYING THAT YOUR PHOEN CAN'T BE VALIDATED OR SOMETHING.. I'M STUMPED FOR NOW. I HAVEN'T TRIED ROAMING YET, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD WORK..LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU A310 OWNERS. OR IF YOU KNOW WHY YOU CAN' T MAKE CALLS BUT YOU CAN RECEIVE THEM..
SORRY IF THIS IS CONFUSING,I'M NOT TO GOOD AT EXPLAINING THINGS AND I'M EXCITED RIGHT NOW..LATER!

anyone try it yet?

**Cioni2k** · 12-27-2002, 1:12 PM

Wow Mattd. Thanks a lot for discovering what you have so far. I'm going to hold off until you guys can perfect that whole "Phone Can Not be Validated" ordeal. But nice find.

NO FLASHING! But alas, I can't place outgoing calls either [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

We're so close.

**mattd2589** · 12-27-2002, 10:44 PM

yeah, i just can't figure out what setting in the nam2 menu could be set wrong and would be responsible for the no outgoing calls issue. i'll keep trying, anyone with custom banner experience is surely allowed to help me on this...

**mattd2589** · 12-28-2002, 8:29 PM

bump, come on hideo or someone take a look at this im so close!!!

**toolbox** · 12-28-2002, 11:13 PM

Hello all,

Newbie here. Are you guys talking about the banner that you can type in by pressing:

menu > 6 > 2

? I just got my a310 last week and my custom message is all I ever see on the screen. No flashing to different messages.

**mattd2589** · 12-28-2002, 11:15 PM

WHAT PLAN DO U HAVE?

**toolbox** · 12-28-2002, 11:19 PM

Local digital choice

**Cioni2k** · 12-28-2002, 11:29 PM

Thats why. It seems to be the America's Choice plan that the banner flashes on.

**toolbox** · 12-28-2002, 11:51 PM

Ahhh, I see.

**Hideo** · 12-29-2002, 9:48 AM

Sorry, Mattd... I've been watching your thread here, but I haven't had time to play with it yet...

Once you've switched to Nam2, did you try doing a *228? (Or is it *288? I forget...)

I'm not sure if the PRL and ERI they give you are specific to which NAM you're using. If they are, then it's possilbe that yours isn't flashing any more because your PRL isn't set up properly for that NAM, which also might be the reason why you can't dial out. I'd almost bet that once you do the *228 thing, you'll suddenly be able to make calls, but your banner will start flashing again...

Who knows, I may be totally off my rocker, but I'm still convinced that the PRL is what controls the banner flashing. If we could get a "non-ERI" PRL loaded onto an A310, I bet that would go away...

**mattd2589** · 01-03-2003, 11:29 PM

i tried that hideo, good idea, but the flashing started again and i was able to place calls, but this kinda defeated the point...oh well, i'm giving up on it

**peoplesibrow** · 01-04-2003, 12:22 AM

If you check

http://www.mountainwireless.com/prl.htm

You can see that the PRLs for some of the Verizon icon

plans have the ERI option, while for each there is an identical PRL without the ERI option (i.e. 50069 for ERI Americas Choice and 50068 for Americas Choice).

"*ERI: Enhanced Roaming Indicator, words instead of an icon to indicate roaming. "

So, I'm assuming you can talk to Verizon icon

and have them switch your PRL to a non-ERI one...has anyone tried? I have a funny feeling it would just change it back to ERI if you ever did the *228 thing.

**mattd2589** · 01-04-2003, 2:51 PM

i highly doubt Verizon icon

would or actually are sophisticated enough to perform such an action...its worth a try though!
