Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / April 2005/M on Phonebook Entries
Hi - I have a CLK with a Sony Ericsson K700i and all works fine except that for some reason all phone book entries have "/M" appended to each name. So, for example, dialling home displays "Home/M". Any reason? Can I switch this off somehow? Thanks. You did not state your location or mobile phone system. My one guess is that it may refer to entries in the phone (as opposed to SIM card) memory. DAS For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling --- > Hi - I have a CLK with a Sony Ericsson K700i and all works fine except > that for some reason all phone book entries have "/M" appended to each > name.

"M" is an ascii carriage return - decimal 10, hex 0A. So it makes sense that your entries may be seperated by carriage returns, but normally this character is not displayed. Just used internally as a line delimiter. How did you get the data into your unit?

Dooooh - Decimal 13, hex 0D So it > makes sense that your entries may be seperated by carriage > returns, but normally this character is not displayed.

Microsoft tends to use newlines and carriage returns. newline is control j carriage return is control m on your keyboards. . Don't know about this although the phonebook entries were ported over from another mobile. I'll set up a brand new contact with a new number and see if I still get "/M" and let you know. |
