Simple one (I hope!) I have tried editing the xml file for the mac of the phone and uploading it back to my trix, but still I have 'office' as the line label.

Where else do I have to change this ? I also need to change the time zone.

Which line are you editing

Are you sure you're editing the right line? It should be...

phone_label: "Extension 5210"  ;Label at the top of the screen
line1_shortname: "Line 1"	;Label next to the button

Be careful not to make the phone label too long. If you do, not only will the phone refuse to display it, but in my case, the XML parser stopped at that line and wouldn't load any other settings.

Hi, Could someone possibly

Hi,

Could someone possibly post a sample config up?

I'm getting 'Error verifying config info' in the status messages, and I'm still stuck on US time, and with Office as the phone label.

I think is more about the 7970 taking in the revised config than a bad config (although not sure on your config). For some reason the 7970 doesn't always seem to update with the latest config.

The config will not update

The config will not update if there is an error in your xml file... most of the time when it has happened to me I have found I accidentally deleted the closing tag to some element. Running the file through an XML validator should show if you have any missing closing tags.

Not sure which label you mean to change as you mentioned both the line label and the phone label... to change the phone label look for the <phoneLabel></phoneLabel> tags and change it to whatever you want...
As for the line label you change it by changing the value between the <featureLabel></featureLabel> tags on whichever line you are changing.
The time zone is changed in the <timeZone></timeZone> tag... for example I'm in the Eastern time zone so I use
<timeZone>Eastern Standard/Daylight Time</timeZone>
...just change Eastern to whatever time zone you are in, i.e. Pacific, New Zealand, etc.
