Connection problem or invalid MMI code

Many android users will have meet this message on your android phone one way or another. This usually happens when u press the *,# or + and the phone button to made the call.

After u press the *,# follow by some numbers, it shows USSD Code is running and later the Connection problem or invalid MMI Code will appear. You have enter a code the system does not understand. But if u have press *#06#, it will display the IMEI Code. There are many special codes that start with * or # and follow by numbers and pressing the SEND or Phone icons.

If you start up the phone and this error prompts, it means the sim card or your phone system is automatically sending a special code to the cell phone company but not recongnized by the cell phone company system.

What is a MMI Code?
An MMI Code is a sequence of digits that is entered into your phone to make it perform some special action. These codes start and end with a * or # so they don't get confused with phone numbers you might want to dial. They're usually only valid when you're not on a call, so if you key one in while connected to your cellphone company's IVR system they won't be recognized. Some MMI Codes are dealt with by your phone - for example, there's usually one you can key in to find out what software version your phone has installed. Most MMI Codes are sent to your Cellphone company as they are used to turn features on and off (Like call forwarding, call waiting, etc).

Why does my phone say "MMI Code Failed"?
This will usually happen because your Cellphone company has decided that you aren't allowed to forward your calls. It could be because you are on a "plan" that doesn't have the forwarding feature (pre-pay/flex-pay plans usually restrict this feature). Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to 'bypass' this error - if you believe your plan should allow you to use this feature you will need to call your cellphone company and ask them to (a) let you control it from your phone, or (b) set the forwarding for you.
Note: If you go for option (b) make very sure that they only turn on "Conditional" forwarding (this only forwards Busy/No-Answer/Unavailable calls). Sometimes they'll accidentally turn on "Unconditional" forwarding (this forwards ALL calls!).

PC Show 2011 HTC Booth

I love visiting the PC Show and there were huge wave of crowds at the Suntec City Convention Hall. PC Show has always amazed Singaporeans and all are ready to burst their wallets. Males and Females will enjoy the Great Singapore Sale here.

HTC has got a booth at this PC Show 2011 and it is located at Level 6, Hall 601, Booth Number B2002

There were too many people at the HTC Booth that you have to squeeze and wait patiently for your turn to try on the latest HTC Sensation and many other models that are available.

HTC Pretty Babes
There are also pretty HTC Babes at the PC Show and many were waiting for their turn to take a shoot using the HTC Flyer. You may also use your camera and pose a shot with them. I missed the chance as there are to many peoples.

HTC Accessories
If you are here to buy the extra battery,charger,covers,screen protectors then you wil be disappointed. The booth is only focus on their products and not the accessories.

Worth the BUY $$$?
This is not the best place to buy your phone, I guarantee hand phone shops in Chong Pang, Boon Lay, Woodlands are selling phone at a much lower price than the set retail price here in PC Show or the Nex HTC Store. Test the phone here and head to your neighbourhood store for the best price.
