Hi Vikram,
This is a documented issue for people using a Titan in one country from another country.
I am using a UK Titan in Singapore, and I have the same issue.
Please post the following information, help us try and get to the bottom of this:
OS Version
Firmware Version
Source country of your Titan
(and out of interest, where did you buy it?)
Previously, people have experienced the same issue when porting WP7 to the HD2. See
this thread. The poster there (
Kjettern) installed a xap (a wp mini program) that edited the registry and made it work.
The regedit goes like this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:8
A guy in Singapore with a Trophy got it work with this method (Trophy is an earlier version of WP7, not WP7.5 like the Titan).
So I figured to do the same thing. To do that you need to unlock your device then edit the registry (or install a xap that does the same thing).
...exept that even if you can unlock your Titan (either developer unlock or chevron unlock), then you still can't edit the registry due to it not being
INTEROP UNLOCKED.
A couple of nice people (
Heathcliffe74 and
GoodDayToDie are
trying to get interop unlock working on HTC devices but no joy on Titan so far (it ships with the updates on it).
SO, the news is - wait til someone cracks it, and then we might have a solution.
Funnily enough, Kjettern in Norway now has a Titan, using the same European ROM (I think) as the rest of us...and he has no problem with the CallerID/contact card issue. But then the Norway Titan is designed for use in Norway (see the back of the Europe model box) so maybe there is additional regional coding in the OS somewhere?
In the meanwhile, I have apocrophylic news that someone in Singapore has a Taiwan model, and no such problem with CallerID/contact cards with phone numbers.
So I got to thinking, why not flash my Titan with the Taiwan ROM?
A nice guy called
Football sent me the ROM...but because the Device ID is different you can't do a straightforwards Rom Update Utility flash...you have to use the "goldcard" method, which is pretty complicated. I made a frankenstein cable to achieve that and must have screwed up somewhere because it blew my screen out
So my Titan is in for repair (yes, HTC Singapore will repair for S$50 handling charge under Global Warranty).
When I get it back I will try to flash the Taiwan ROM again. If it works, I will report back here.

Oh yeah, there are a few of us posting on Harwarezone SG website in the WP7 usergroup. Come say hello.
But XDA is much better for the techy stuff
Should also add: you can store both numbers +65 xxxx xxxx and just plain xxxx xxxx as a workaround...not practical if you have 1000s numbers of course. I edited key contacts in Outlook and added the xxxx xxxx as "assistant". It doesn't show up in WP contact cards, but it does work on incoming calls.
