ok here goes, about 30 minutes ago (at a little past 1am) i was woken up by the sound of my tp2's dialing international calls! i promplty hard reset both and am in the process of doing flash dance/task29 and then reflashing. it seemed to be very similar to what was reported to be happening with the "3d Anti Terrorist" game that was floating around a few weeks ago (one which i neved installed btw).

one of my tp2s is running a custom rom that ive been tweaking and manicuring for months never had this happen before. the 2nd tp2 is running the vzw 6.5 and has NEVER been unlocked. the only new thing i have installed in the last few days on both phones are the cab in the original post and the verizon fix!

tp2 number 1 like i said is running a rom i cooked in my modified version of calkulins kitchen and has many programs/tweaks/hacks that ive used even back to my tp1 days and have never had this happen. tp2 number 2 only has a few things installed. a shopping list program, shp finance from the software forum here, opera 10, skyfire and opera mini5. all of these have been on there for a long time. like i said the only new things that have been installed on both phones are the cabs in this thread.

as my disclaimer said im not accusing anyone of anything. i just want to know wtf is going on!!! has anyone else had this happen to them or can someone give me an idea of what else may have caused this?

Thank you

EDIT: in my panic i failed to takedown the actual number. but both were dialing the number simultaneously, the voice on the other end sounded like a recording and i disticntly remember hearing the words "international calling". like i said this woke me up so i wasnt quite as on point as i usually am but i remember the numbers had a bunch of digits and started with "001" if that helps

It's actually impossible that it was caused by my tweak. Open up the .cab file and you'll see why. There are 0 files. There is only a list of registry entries, and even that is only via XML. It would be, from a programming and code standpoint, impossible for registry edits to do anything like that.

Try going through your 'Remove Programs' menu and see if there's anything else you installed and forgot about.

And anyone can look at my cab and see that only registry edits are used. I would love to help Verizon custom roms users who have issues with the cabs but I need information listed in my first cab post to help you out.

I have a T-Mobile USA HD2 with stock ROM. Installed [saumaun] Extended Area Code DB.cab. Neither the city nor the state appear for incoming calls. Am I doing something wrong?

I found something else that I think could be fixed, 1) Well the (562) area code is the SE LA counties, Including Long Beach and Whittier. If you wanted to change it you could have it say for 562 either Whittier or LOng Beach.
2) The Area code 720 is also part of the Denver Metro Area, you have it listed as just Colorado. So you could have 720 say Denver Colorado as well.
These are not major things so if you are not maintaing the app anymore no big deal.

Thanks. Still a great app!!

Did you install my cab? If so then please export your registry so I can check it.

Area code 360 consists of about 13 cities in Wa State. Everybody who calls in my town comes up as Vancouver Wa. is there a way i can tweak this to set 360 as Bremerton Wa, instead of Vancouver, besides this I luv this tweak, is there a way you can make me a cab file of the changed name for 360! Any help is greatly appreciated! buy the way im a noob and dont feel comfortable about manuel registry tweaks!
