Same with me. Using Resco Registry on C500, just like the example. Cannot rename the Key.

Dude, I can't rename the key either. Using Windows CE Registry Editor.

Sorry for this very late reply. The inability to change the ECall number on your phone is due to the fact that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security is a protected part of the registry. Again, sorry if this got you confused.

Here are the list of protected registry areas.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WDMDrivers
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services
HKEY CLASSES_ROOT (device specific)


To address that issue, we have to tweak the registry using a provisioning file.

Attached is a CAB which when installed, will set the ECall number to 123 only. Restart device after installation.

Using your favorite registry editor (try RESCO), open HKLM\Security\ECall then edit content of 'List' (there should be 123 inside)

Change 123 to your desired number. To add another number, make sure the cursor is at the end of the 1st number then press Action button (toggle bar) to move to the next line.

For example:

123 <--- 1st Ecall number; line 1
456
789 <--- 3rd Ecall number

Hit 'Done' when finished. Restart device for changes to take effect.

Attached File(s)

Thanks pzee. Ihave just run the above cab and it has changed the contents of list to 123 but when i dial 999 with the key lock on it still recognises it as an emergency number. Any ideas why?

Have you tried a restart after changing the number?

I don't have the 999 ECall number anymore.

I found out that 112 is still recognized on my phone. Well at least only 112. :)

Now I don't have any idea of other registry section/s harboring the ECall numbers. :twisted:

Strange...the other ECall numbers are no longer active except for 112.

Hi there. I tried this tweak on MPx 220 and it works without problems 8)

I have my MPx 220 lacalised for Czech Republic and there is only 112 which I want to have there (because it can be used in my country). I added 3 other numbers (155, 150, 158) and they work. :)

I also tried (just for joy) removing 112 from the list. And, I have the same problem as others have. It's strange. :evil:

I can't get it to work :)

I've changed the reg key, but still 112 and 999 etc work. I've even tried deleting things.

Each time I've powered down then up again. I guess I'm doing something wrong - any ideas?

Hi.

Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah, I've given that a go. But, unfortunately still get no joy.

I can edit the registry keys, and they take ok. If I lock the device and type in 123 it will warn me that it's an emergency number. But, it also does the same for 999 etc - even though they are not in the list.

So, it does parse that list - but it must have another set of emergency numbers elsewhere.

When I use PHM reg editor to search, it crashes my device. I was going to see if 999 etc exist elsewhere in the registry.


cheers for the help!

I also encounter the same issue but only with one number. All other numbers are no longer accessed except 112.
