Good day gentlemen. My name is Kofi Blades and I live in Trinidad and Tobago. I tell you where I live because I think it is an important factor for the smooth running of my iPhone. At least with version 1.1.2 with the newer, smarter AppSupport.
First of all, I want to discuss a problem that has been plaguing me since my 1.1.1 update.
It is mail.

I have 4 email accounts on my iPhone:
kofi at kofster dot com: POP3
kofster at gmail dot com: IMAP4
kofster at yahoo dot com: IMAP4
degyuldemdarlin at aol dot com: IMAP4

When I was using the iPhone at 1.0.2, the accounts were originally synced from my mail application on my laptop with the exception of the yahoo account. That yahoo account was created on the iPhone through the 'Mail' tab in the Settings application.
I first used the mail application through wifi as I was home when I set it up and allowed the iPhone to use internet that I shared from the laptop's Wifi. Everything then worked okay. The only problem I had was that my yahoo account never got any of the pushed emails while it was connected via wifi. However, when I was connected via EDGE, it got the pushed emails very quickly.
When I updated to 1.1.1, Email continued to work smoothly over EDGE but WiFi was another story.
My yahoo account never fetched messages on the wifi...
"Cannot Get Mail
The connection to the server "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" failed"

So I did everything I thought would have worked.
I did a soft reset where I reset all settings on the iphone through Settings>General>Reset.
That did not work either ater I put in my credentials again.
I did a hard reset by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until the white Apple logo came up after the phone restarted.
That did not work either. Instead, I got this message:
"Yahoo! Account verification failed
The IMAP server "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is not responding. Check Your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" Field."
After this point, I changed my yahoo.com account password and tried again in the iPhone. Still no go after that. However, the account verified normally when I used the EDGE connection. I didn't change the passwords on the other accounts because they work fine on my PowerBook's Mail application. I send and receive email from the accounts on my powerbook but on the iPhone, they time out. I even did a restore- restore to 1.1.1 then went to dfu mode, downgraded to 1.0.2, activated and jailbreaked and went into the special mode for upgrade and upgraded to 1.1.1. That did not work. With Yahoo, however, I was able to send mail via the wifi and I confirmed that the messages were actually sent by logging into my yahoo webmail.
I was hoping that 1.1.2 would fix that but it actually got worse. Yahoo messages do not send anymore. Instead, they are saved to some "Outbox" on the iPhone and not on the server.
They all work fine over EDGE thou still.
I'm taking the time to write this email because I have checked many forums but none help.
Now with the caller ID problem...
When I first upgraded to 1.1.2, I had no problems other than
1) I could not dial new numbers on the iPhone's Phone.app keypad or check my recents without it crashing. I could have called contacts only through the contacts that were saved.
2) My SMS application crashed immediately after being launched too.
3) There was no region formatting for my calls anymore. The brackets and dashes that separated the numbers were gone.
I read on some forums about patching AppSupport in the AppSupport.frameworks folder would have fixed it. However, using HexEdit, I was only able to edit France's country name/ISO (fr to tt) and the International Country Calling Code (32 to 868) I was unable to edit the IDD International Prefix, NDD National Prefix, Area Code Length and the Subscriber Number Length.
In this forum, I found out about pntedit and tried it. The PPC version did not work on my PowerBook - it continually generated a blank list. So I got one of my friends with a pc to help me out. I got the codes and edited them so they looked like this:

us 1 011 1 3 7
ca 1 011 1 3 7
fr 33 00 0 1 8
fr 33 40 0 1 8
fr 33 50 0 1 8
fr 33 70 0 1 8
fr 33 90 0 1 8
uk 44 00 0 3 7
gh 233 011 0 3 9
jp 81 010 0 1 9
jp 81 010 0 2 8
jp 81 010 0 3 7
jp 81 010 0 4 6
tt 868 011 1 3 7
cn 86 00 0 0 11
cn 86 00 0 2 8
cn 86 00 0 3 7

After I edited, it was sent back to Matthew and he generated the patched AppSupport for me. I uploaded that to the iPhone but that did not change anything. I even tried what the iPhone Dev Wiki had on their site.
I patched the hexes again and uploaded, making sure to delete after backing up the AppSupport I had on my iPhone. This still did not change anything. The only progress I made was when I edited two plist files; UIInternationalCodes.plist and UIPhoneFormats.plist at: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/PhoneFormats.
Now if there is anyone out there who's successfully patched their AppSupport to work with their country and also enable them to dial phone numbers in their local format and allow the iPhone to recognise them, I urge you, do one for Trinidad and Tobago please. You can use the values I used above in the row with "tt" or you can search the net and get the correct ones if I have them wrong. This is much appreciated. The AppSupport that I currently use is in the zip folder that I uploaded also. I also created two mobile carrier plist files; one for bmobile and one for Digicel together with their symlink files- they are the local service providers here and these files work great!
As a result, my phone started displaying the formats such +1 (868) 123-4567, (868) 123-4567 and 123-4567.
However, The problem is that the caller ID is not working the way it should. Trinidad and Tobago's format is +1 (868) 123-4567. I save all my contacts like this just in case....
If I saved 'John' as +1 (868) 123-4567 and I dialed 123-4567, the iPhone will not show the call as calling 'John.' It will just show the phone calling 123-4567.
Also, if I saved +1 (868) 123-4567 to Jane and I dialed 868 with the number or even 1 (868) 123-4567, the iPhone still would not show the Jane info unless the + is with the whole number. If I dial local numbers, the phone does not recognize it. On the other hand, when a call comes in, all the info comes up as the service providers show everything... and I have my numbers saved in the same format as the calls come in.
I never experienced this problem with 1.0.2 or 1.1.1. I sent some screenshots of how the keypad looks when dialing...
So I'm going now and finish send this email from my mac and use the EDGE data to recreate my email accounts and hope that leopard will be able me out when I upgrade this week.
Thank you gentlemen for your patience.

Padna, like you didn read the whole post. I tried that all and it still did not work. I soft reset, hard reset, erase and content and reset, restored, downgraded and upgraded-twice!!! and it still eh working.

Dear Kofi,

I have the same like you in Vietnam. I loaded your pntedit file and do it as below:

# Used iDemocracy 2.0.2, at 1.1.2 menu to fixed SMS, EDGE, country (I take Australia - because do no have Vietnam in the iDemocracy list), etc.
# Install iWorld in Tweaks (1.1.2), choose my country (Vietnam)
# Grab copy of AppSupport from firmware 1.1.2
# Run "pntedit.exe read AppSupport PhoneNumberTemplates.txt"
# Edit PhoneNumberTemplates.txt (with 'vn' codes)
# Run "pntedit.exe write AppSupport PhoneNumberTemplates.txt AppSupport.Patched"
# Replace AppSupport on iPhone with AppSupport.Patched

Now my iPhone work with as usual as 1.0.2

In your case, I found that your code is US code. You should do nothing with AppSupport. Just choose your country as "US" when fixed SMS, EDGE by iDemocracy. Please read as: http://www.kropla.com/dialcode.htm#notes
Cheers

You will continue to experience problems with caller ID matching and SMS, to resolve it. you need to add this to APPSupport
"bm 1 011 0 3 7"
Keep in mind Bermuda is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), so the phone numbers in Bermuda use the same rules as US.

I was in Jamaica like two weeks ago for a bereavement, Good thing I had my MacBook Pro on me. I was able to edit my appsupport once I got back to my residence, after purchasing my Digicel chip, and couldn't figure out why my sms/phone kept crashing with 1.1.2.

What i did first was add
"jm 876 011 0 3 7 " I realized family members numbers where beinning picked up via sms/caller ID.
I did some reading over the hackint0sh forums and found out that Jamaica falls under the (NANP) so all I really need to do was add this the APPSUPPORT
"jm 1 011 0 3 7"
and my callerID/sms identify the with the names I have stored in my phonebook.

Mines works with the configuration that i have and flawlessly. "bm" doesn not work with my digicel card i tried it on numerous occasions i have to use "jm" and either "441" or "876" and i found that i had to put it where ca and fr was in order for it to work.. my contacts match up with my sms and phone calls..... the incoming calls format correctly. Its jus goin to be a trial and error thing for people on digicel network in different carribean islands.. i dont know how the other islands are but i kno the bermudas sms and data a routed from jamaicas digicel....

[kofster]

Peoples, ma peoples, ma peoples, ma peoples! I've been meaning
o write this up a long while but I'm stuck with GPRS for a while so my response and some more to come, will not be that prompt.
I want to thank you all very much for all your advice. Nevermind they did not work anyways, I was able to patch my AppSupport for Trinidad and Tobago, irregardless of my service provider (Even though I prefer Digicel over the other network)
Despite everyone telling me to use the Jamaica and the Bermuda settings- they would not have worked because the digits that are put into the AppSupport (Via pntedit) must correspond with the following data that is read from the SIM card as follows:
Country Name abbreviation: tt
International Country Calling Code: 1
International Direct Dialing Code: 868
National Direct Dialing Prefix: 1
Area ode Length 3
Subscriber Number Length 7

If you are not sure about your country's codes, visit this page.
That is how it works. So If I used the bermuda codes instead of the 868 for Trinidad, from the time the SIM is inserted in the Phone.app and MobileSMS.ap would have still crashed because AppSupport was looking for these prefixes.
Well I had that part. A lot of people weren't reading to see what the nature of my problem was.
My problem was that even though the applications were working well, when I entered a number in 123-4567 format, the phone would not recognize the number dialed for a contact stored in the iPhone if it was done in +1 (868) 123-4567.
The MobileSMS application however, was able to list the contact while sending messages and the recent calls list in the same phone app.
Now, I followed the instructions of the iPhone Dev Team to patch the AppSupport to fix that feature but their execution was erroneous.
This is what I did and it worked:
Using Hex Edit, go to address "0x2DE8". Find "3F 10 DD E5" and replace it with, "01 10 A0 E3" You can do this before or after you use pntedit to patch it to add support for your country. Just make sure to save backup of the original one first before you proceed. Not that you will ever need it but it is best to be prudent.
The next thing I did was create Digicel Support in the form of a Digicel_postpaid.plist file. I will also upload this for you people who use Digicel and are post paid. I will upload one also for people that are Prepaid. If by chance the codes are different, you can change to suit.
Now that AppSupport patch that you do with hex edit and pntedit will work. If you are getting problems on a powerpc mac, ask a windows friend to help you out. I gotta thank Matthew for his patience here... me bugging him all the time on messenger and at some funny hours too....
The only reason I did the Digicel-Postpaid.plist was because I wanted to fancy the phone and make it appear to have official Digicel support.
Go to this wikipedia page so you can get your country's MCC and MNC codes. You will need it to successfully complete these steps. They are very simple and do not require much time.
Open the Digicel_Postpaid.plist file on your mac with a plist editor. In the editor, you will see a heading, "Property List" Scroll down to supported SIMs and click on the arrow. In that row, you will see "0, String and 374130" Chnge the Value, 374130 to the MCC and MNC of your country. Also, make any other appropriate changes to the codes to reflect the codes of the carier requests of your country then save the file.
You can place the edited digicel plist file in /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support of your iPhone via SSH.
When that is added, use installer to download Term vt-100. It is a mobile version of the Terminal application.
In Term vt-100, type:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support then press return.
To double check that you are in the correct directory, type:
pwd
It should say:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support
Now type in:
ln -s Digicel_Postpaid.plist xxxxxx
The xxxxxx will represent the 6 digits that you entered in earlier in the plist file. It is, again, your country's MCC and MNC codes. All you have to do is now take out the SIM from the iPhone and probably put another SIM in it then eject and replace it with your SIM. Then click on Settings>Phone>Digicel Services and you're set!!!
The other files I altered were UIInternationalCodes.plist and UIPhoneformats.plist found at /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/PhoneFormats. I added additional support for Trinidad by putting in the International calling codes and Country name abbreviation.
Thanks for the audience as I know I doh facilitate quick reading. Anybody getting problems with any of these, hit me up and I'll assist anyways I can. I hope you Bermuda guys and Jamaica guys okay and again, thanks for your concern and input

[gready123456]

hey i am a fellow trini i am having problem to get pntedit runing it keeps crashing
could u please post the appsupport file for me please

oh by the way i ahve xp and that sucks i tried a friends computer same thign u see the command prompt for a second then it crashes

thanks for your insight on the plist file i have a tstt plist which can be found on this link

http://www.modmyi.com/forums/showthr...ighlight=callx

[kofster]

That's good that you requested that there gready123456. I should have posted those files there too with the first set.
Well, here is the AppSupport file for Trinidad and Tobago people or people visiting the island. You may want to use these files or even keep them just in case you have friends who may need them someday.
1) Download the AppSupport for Trinbago.zip file. Using SSH, navigate to /System/Library/Frameworks/AppSupport.framework on the iPhone. Backup the ApppSupport file at this location then delete the file from the iPhone. Take the extracted AppSupport file that was downloaded from this posting and place it at this location. Reboot your Jesusphone.
I also included the carrier services plists files. One is for folk that use a Post Paid Digicel account and the other for Digicel Prepaid users. I'm not a big fan of bmobile but I also created a services plist file for them.
The MCC and MNC codes for Digicel are 374130 and for bmobile it is 37412.
So if you are a post paid user, you are to navigate to /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support in your iPhone via SSH using any one of the cients fugu or cyberduck. Place the Digicel_Postpaid.plist file at that location.
Then using the Term vt-100 application on your iPhone, type in
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support
then press return.
To make sure you are at the support folder in the above directory, type:
pwd
then press return
It should say:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support
Now type in:
ln -s Digicel_Postpaid.plist 374130
then press return.
If you are a Digicel Prepaid user, place the Digicel_Prepaid.plist file in the Support folder in the directory above of the iPhone.
Then type:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support
in Term vt-100 then press return.
Then type in:
ln -s Digicel_Prepaid.plist 374130
then press return
If you are a bmobile user, place the bmobile.plist file in the same Support folder in the iPhone. Then in the same Term vt-100 application, type in:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support
then press return.
When that is finished, type in:
ln -s bmobile.plist 37412
then press return.
Eject your SIM Card from the iPhone and restart the iPhone without the SIM in it. After the iPhone has restarted, place your SIM in it. Then, in Springboard, navigate to
Settings>Phone. When you are there, depending on the carrier plist file you put in the iPhone and what SIM you have in, you will see the services. Look at how lovely mine looks.
Hope you all get through. Thanks again.

PS, I would advise that even if you are a Digicel customer, still include the bmobile.plist and its link for those wierd times you may want to use a bmobile SIM for whatever your reason. But like I always tell my friends, the Digicel SIM is the best to use in the iPhone.

A word of advice to the Digicel customers; the iPhone resets the APN field every time you reinsert the SIM. So unless you want your iPhone to be automatically checking your mail in the background and draining your balance, please navigate to:
Settings>General>Network>EDGE. In the APN area, delete the 'm' from 'com'. That way, it would not connect to the net automatically and be using DATA.
Remember in Digi here in Trini, they charge per kilobyte.


However, I have unlimited internet on my iPhone. I would recommend this to all post paid users and for prepaid users to convert their package to a post paid account.
You will need a friend who has a blackberry. This is perfectly legal.
Ask your friend who has a blackberry and does not plan to activate the internet services on it. It does not matter if he is a bmobile customer or Digicel. Carry the blackberry to Digicel and tell them that you want to activate the unlimited Blackberry Internet Service on the device. After the paper work is complete, they will inform you that the device must be off for approximately 1 hour or they will call you on the other contact number that you provided them with. The phone must be off while the Data plan is being provisioned on the SIM. During this time, leave the SIM in the Blackberry. After the 1 hour or your phone call that you're supposed to get on the other number, start the blackberry. You will receive a text stating that You have the BIS activated on the device. Smile a big smile. Remove the SIM from the Blackberry and place it in your iPhone. Smile a bigger smile and browse the web, use YouTube and all internet applications at some amazing speeds as I get a consistent oneseventysomething kbps speed connection. Give your friend his/her blackberry device back and thank them very much.
Now if you were to ask customer service reps if it will work, they tell you no. What they do not know is that BIS does not work on the iPhone and you can't send and receive email but because the data account is provisioned on the SIM, you can use the internet. And everything works beautifully. Yahoo! mails are pushed to the phone like normal, all other accounts work beautifully as well. So, for Trinbagonians, the iPhone shines on the Digicel network with an unlimited BIS service. Try it and let me know how it goes!
Good luck.

Sorry that I didn't respond any sooner. I was ill for while- real dread virus going around. That and I had to deal with some not-so-bright-colleagues on the job to deal with.
Anyways bezman, I will be honoured if you put the information on your site. I do not mind. Just please doh forget to credit me for it. I know is a forum here and the info is available for everyone. But still. Credit meh nah. That and when I get my new Macbook Pro next February, I will be making changes to my website http://www.kofster.com, to give it a major update and overhaul and include a section specifically for the iPhone and iPhone modding. Some of the information here that I've posted will be included there also. If I use anyone's intellectual property, I will also seek their permission. But Thank you again. I have no problem.

Kofster. First of all, thanks for all the help. That AppSupport file saved me a world of worries. I also tried the carrier settings for digicel prepaid, but for some reason, I just cant get it to work. When I try to check the carrier services after running through the procedure, I realise that the carrier services option is no longer there. Any suggestions?

Thanks man.

Edit: Got it to work. Used a bmobile sim card to reset the carrier settings before restarting.
