N8 home screen- profile box displaying area code r...

Hi,  I have no idea how this happened or how to correct it. I visited American recently (not sure if relevant, but thought it best to include all info), whilst over there the profile display box on my N8 home screen started displaying the area dial code of whatever area I was currently in. I assumed this had something to do with roaming, I did try turning my phone on and off in case it was a weird glitch, but the issue remained. Upon returning back home to the UK the issue is still with me.
When I unlock the phone the profile display correctly displays the selected profile (e.g silent, general, offline etc), but within a few seconds switches to showing the dial code of the area I happen to be in. I know this isn't a massive issue, but I do find it more useful to know which profile my phone is in rather than the dial code for landlines in any given area. As a general rule, I don't just randomly call landline numbers of people I don't know just because I happen to be in the area, which as far as I can tell, would be the only situation in which this info would be useful.
I have tried googling the issue but couldn't find anything. Am really hoping that I am just being stupid and this is quite easy to resolve, but I really couldn't think of how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Happy to help
No need to apologise, the option doesn't give many clues to what it does. It's an old feature left over from the early days of phones that's irrelevant in many countries now, except for those that really need to know the area code (for calling costs etc).

  • Modify the TFS 2013 Web access Home screen to increase the area of Pinned Items

    Hi All,
    We have a unique requirement to modify the TFS 2013 Web access Home screen to increase the area of Pinned Items, as of now it is coming as 4*X tile row column but we might need that to see it as 8*X tile. Is it possible to change the home page and modify
    the way it looks now or customize the home screen?
    Please find below screenshot link for your reference.

  • TS3274 My Ipad display screen is coming up with blue background and pink/purple lines all across the screen. It's also blurry and difficult to see icons on home screen and when apps are opened up. Has anyone had a similar problem?

    The display screen on my Ipad is coming up all blurred with blue background mixed with pink and purple lines. It's difficult to see icons but apps are still accessible. Colors are off and images are very unclear on apps and home screen.
    Has anyone had this problem or any advice on troubleshooting?
    Thanks.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    But it could also be a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • IPad first gen Calendar will not show month view for March. When you go feb to march the pad goes back to the home screen. Apr etc are all there. March seems to have some problem always going to the home screen. How can I fix this

    I am haveing trouble with the calandar view on an iPad first gen. the month of March will not display , no matter how it is asked for the device drops out of calandar and defaults to the home screen. all other months display. Any fix suggestions welcome.

    Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

  • Mobile (phone & tablet) screen profiles not displaying correctly

    RoboHelp 11 on a Windows 7 machine
    I have a small project that I put down in August and just picked up again today. The only changes I made today were a background color in the selected layout and adding browsers to the screen profiles (desktop, mobile, phone). I also changed the pixel sizes of aforementioned screen profiles, and saved, but ultimately thought better of it and changed them back. I don't know if that would have made any difference to this problem. (When I made the size changes RH told me to update the media queries, but I'm not using any... or at least none came up in the Manage Media Queries functionality.)
    Then I re-generated the output, but the tablet and phone screen sizes are no longer displaying properly when I tested by changing the size of my desktop browser--there is a rather large "dead zone" browser size in which no content is displayed at all (which makes it almost seem like the "responsive" part of the output doesn't work), the internal navigation (forward and back buttons, and bar) is shoved up in the header bar, and no browser horizontal scroll bar appears so that I can scroll to see the edge of wide images. I mainly use IE but this occurred in Firefox and Chrome as well. The desktop display seems to work fine. (I'm so sorry I don't have screenshots now--I can provide some if needed.)
    I wondered if this had something to do with my chosen "template" but a brand new project that used that same one (Theme1_Standard) didn't have any problems. Now, I also noticed that the template seems to have changed since I was last in Robohelp, because the unchanged template preview today was definitely not the same as the template from August. The Readme for the latest patch didn't mention anything that I thought seemed to be related.
    Like I said, all I changed were a color, the screen profile browsers, and the screen profile sizes which I later discarded. I am completely at a loss as to what caused this and how to fix it. I feel like a complete dolt because it seems to be related to something I *DID* but retracing my steps has yielded nothing.
    Thank you!
    UPDATE
    Still having this issue, but in poking around I discovered that some of the program files on my local machine were updated in mid-September (when it looks like the latest patch's ReadMe file was installed on my computer) and others were updated mid-October (the first time I was in RH since mid-August, though I didn't generate anything then). I don't know if this means anything, but to me it looks mildly suspicious. Thx.

    Screenshots:
    Internal navigation shoved up into the header bar (yellow on top of black, color changed here just to show this):
    In tablet size, an extra wide image does not cause a horizontal scrollbar to appear anywhere at the bottom of the browser to scroll to the right side of the image (sorry this one is hard to see, but the image does go off to the right side of the screen):
    Dead zone:
    Content reappears at a much smaller size and a much larger size, but the top/bottom/and right-side text wrap is off:
    (Again, above, notice no horizontal scroll bar despite the extra wide image.)
    It may be of note that I can use a different template (e.g. Theme2_Government) and I don't have such problems. I guess this means there's something wrong with the template/layout in this project. Am I just going to have to reconstruct it?
    Thanks,

  • After resetting ipad, unable to get to home screen. Only displays request to attach to Itunes, which I did. What next?

    after resetting ipad and removing all programs, cannot get to home screen. Only get request to plug in to itumes,which I did, and it still goes back to that, and the apple logo.

    The message means that you need to restore the iPad using iTunes. When you connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, if you cannot see the iPad under the devices heading in the sidebar of iTunes, you wll have to restore using recovery mode. If you see the iPad under the devices heading, click on it and then click on the summary tab on the right and click on restore.
    If that doesn't work, this is how to restore with recovery mode.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.
    If you are running iTunes 11 - and you can't see the sidebar - to to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top of the screen.

  • Why are my home screens not showing on Itunes

    I've upgraded both my Itunes and also my Iphone today.
    When I try to view my home screens in Itunes they are not showing.  Instead all I get is a blank screen where the home screen should be.
    I have tried resetting my computer to see if this sorted the problem but this has not cured anything.
    Suggestions??

    I have exactly the same problem.  I upgraded i tunes and i phone 4s (to IOS7) and now can no longer see my home screens.  I wish I had never upgraded to IOS7,  Hopefully Apple will fix this sooner than later

  • Calendar on Home Screen of Nokia 6303 Classic

    I've just got one of the 6303 Classics and synced my Outlook calendar with the phone but now on the Home Screen it only displays one appointment rather than all i have that day like my old Nokia.
    Is there anyway i can get it to display more appointments on the Home Screen as i can't seem to find an option for this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The 6303 classic uses an s40 operating system, and due to the limited capacities of this system, the space on the active standby is limited to that kind of display. You could rearrange the active standby and set calendar to be on the second bar from the top. I think that box has enough space for two or three tasks to be shown.
    The only Nokias that show the calendar events for the whole day are phones with the s60 operating system, which your old phone seems to belong to.

  • Broken Fonts and Skype Home screen layout, and lay...

    I see another new 7.8 version has been released, but still some old bugs remain:
    Home Screen fonts are broken, at least in Polish verison you seem to use some font that does not contain our accented letters
    Home Screen status boxes 2 columns and 1 column layout is fixed to pre-defined 2 widths only. Come on, you can make it adapt to any size? Leaving some white areas, or making whole screen scrollable is really ugly, and even for regular website this would not be acceptable.
    The same happends on some other screens, like user profile.

    Try doing a Spotlight search for the Contacts app.

  • Displaying HTML code/document within a SIEBEL applet

    Dear All,
    I have a new requirement which is to integrate an external html document/code within a Siebel's applet in my Home Screen/View. This HTML code is DYNAMIC and it will change depending the user connected. It will give general informations.
    I tried to use a new calculated field in the relevant BC then I added it as control (HTML Type = Field - HTML Display Mode = DontEncodeData - Runtime = Y - Visible = Y) within the applet.
    Unfortunately the field property 'Calculated Value' is restricted to 255 caracters. Everything is fine when the HTML code length is less than 255. When it is greater because teh HTML code is more complex, I can not add a calculated field and the associate control due to the limitation (255 caracters).
    Any idea would be greatly appreciate.
    Thanks a lot.

    One way to get around this limit is to do the following. Split the information you need into several calculated fields and then add them together in one.
    Calculated Display Field = [Information Block 1] + [Information Block 2] + .....
    Where [Information Block n] is a calculated field too.
    Depending on the amount of data and where you need to display the field i.e. form/list applet
    you could use InvokeServiceMethod in a calculated field. Have a look here:

  • 5800 Shortcuts Bar home screen shows no calendar i...

    Hi,
    My 5800's shortcuts home screen suddenly stopped displaying calender items. It used to show till yesterday when I downloaded the latest nokia PC suite and tried to sync my PC with 5800 via bluetooth. I even tried to get factory seetings. But it is asking for a lock code and I have no idea what it means. Any help is more than welcome..

    Ok, this is how I solved it:
    Back-up (I backed up to my memory card, I back up automatically at 4 am). After I did that, transferred al pictures and videos to my pc through USB.
    And a hard reset (*#7370# if I recall correct). After that I recovered what I backed-up, and that's it! It was fixed, still had my apps etc.
    Not the perfect solution, but it works.
