Can someone tell me if it is (and how) possible to disable all other providers except for your own.
So when passing over the border preventing the htc wizard to select another provider (roaming).
I know it's possible to manual select a provider, but when it has no range it will (automatically) select another (roaming) provider.
I want only my own provider and if it's not available I want none at all.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to do this?
(windows mobile 5, HTC wizard)
hi
Sorry to bring back this old thread, but got exactly the same problem, and I didn't found an answer yet.
I leave in Switzerland, near the border with France.
As in Switzerland GSM transmitter have lower power than in France, my HTC Touch switch very often to french network and don't come back to home one.
So I want to completly disable roaming (any way can be used), and when travelling, I can switch roaming back on.
Any one can help me ?
Thanks

Hi
Nope, sorry it doesn't work.
I already set network on manual, but when "home network" is not available, phone switch to foreign one.
That's why I was asking if anybody got a solution.
Greetings.

My XDA 1 phone has stopped working - no signal - can't phone - or internet or anything. It still connects to the emergency police number though - everything else works fine on the XDA. (It has ppc mobile 2002 on it.) Any ideas how to fix it?
Does this sometimes happen?
Is it the end of my device?
I live in Holland - it worked fine. I took it to England - it worked fine - it switched over to the English phone networks etc. I bought it back to Holland and it stopped working!
tried another sim in it or tried the sim in another phone ?
Did you change the network selection method?
Is it / was it set to Manual or Automatic?
If you choose a manual selectiom method and get it to scan, does it find networks?
You have to provide more info, I'm afraid.
Cheers

PS - you might get more help if you'd posted it in the Wallaby section instead of in General.
I have used the sim card from my "non-working" xda1 in another phone and it works. I have used a sim card from another phone which I know works, in my ."non-working" xda1 and it won't work .
I have set my xda1 to manual configeration, and it finds networks, it says available networks: KPN and Libertel, (I am in Holland). So I guess there must be a signal to and from my xda1. (Is that right?)
It doesn't give "telfort" as an available network. which is my simcard network. The xda1 says it is o2 uk all the time. Is it possible it still thinks I'm in the Uk and doesn't switch over to Dutch networks?
I'm in over my head with this...what should I do?.
Go to settings/phone, choose "network" then choose "find network", this should give a list of available service providers, once you have found the one you need, choose it, if it is already set for automatic it should have already done this. If this doesnt work then it would appear to be a blocked phone, is there any reason for it to become blocked? I bought 2 xda phones and both became blocked because people had claimed on insurance, once they pay up they block the imei so it cannot be used again.

Mine also, I live in the philippines, still I don't get any signal but before I upgrade it I have everything...pls help us...
Have 4 problems with my unlocked htc S710 phone:
1) Problem is I can not get the phone to work on one of my gsm providers - my home provider actually. They currently operate on the 1800/900 band. I will see the network (when set manually) get full signal and detect gprs but for some reason I can not make or receive any calls.
Has anyone had this problem ?? .... and what can I do to fix it??
2) Using the other gsm providers SIM the phone actually works (makes and receives call, surfs the net) - provider operates on the 1900/850 band. Problem is it shows a roaming symbol on the phone.
Why is that there? and how can I remove it?
3) When using WiFi i find i can not surf or retrieve mail as my office uses a proxy setting. I have attempted to setup for the proxy but still not working and the manual does not show you.
current settings
call from : work
call to : the internet
proxy name/port: <name>:8080
type: http
username/password saved
Can somone tell me what I am possibly doing wrong?
4) Why cant i select the GSM band I want to use like in Mobile 5 .... i can t even find the option ?

Problem with this update is I am in JAMAICA, i do not see my providers. We have (2) GSM providers Cable & Wireless Jamaica and Digicel Jamaica.
What you suggest ??
does your provider have to register IMEI's of phones?
it may restrict what phones you can use with them

Digicel not supporting WM6 devices
The problem is that currently Digicel is not supporting the radio firmware embedded in WM6. I found this out after upgrading my HTC P4350 to WM6 to find that I had no connectivity. I ended up being forced to downgrade to WM5. As the S710 is not available with WM5, your only option is to switch to C&W.

Thanks for the response. I was forced to switch to C&W cause the support people and Digicel had NO CLUE ... sad really ... i guess we now know who is the better network! But tell me something i noticed when using C&W the roaming symbol appears on the phone. This does not stop any features from working but i just wanted to know if you had that problem and if so how did you get rid of it.
same here. i too am facing same problem.. when i have vodafone sim i can make incoming n outgoing call but when i change to airtel i get the probs.
guyz help me out with this probs.
thnx
Hi
I have an HTC Touch Cruise that I bought over the Internet. It has worked perfectly with the phone operator that I have been with for the last 5 years.
I changed my phone operator: Changed the SIM card . I see the name of the new company on the screen (top left). I can use the phone, but cannot send SMS's. On the Connections Tab in the Settings I accessed the Connection Setup and the name of the original opertor still appears. In the Comm manager I went into the Phone Settings and on the Services Tab I pressed "Get Settings" for all the services. On the Network Tab the Current network is that of the new operator. I pressed on FIND Network button and the SET Network buttons and it seems that the current network is that of the new one, yet a message appears "Connection Setup. The operator does not exist on the database. Please contact your operator for connection settings. Connection setup will redirect you to the Connections screen". This message has appeared from the moment I changed the SIM card. The new operator does not not know how to help me. Can someone point me in the right direction? What does it mean that the "operator does not exit in the database"? How can I make it appear on the database?
Thanks
Brian
I suggest you state your current operator and country. Maybe someone can share the settings you should key in. Another option is too google something like: youroperatorname internet or gprs settings (that's how I did it for my wife last month). I remember there is a specific thread here at xda dealing only with these kind of settings. Another option is to look for the lastest version of htconfiguration tool in case it is already there (maybe you use an "old" rom). Good luck
Hi Cruiserrr
Thanks for your quick response. The operator is Orange and the country is Israel. I'll Google what you suggested. I'm using the original ROM.Can you remember the thread?Where do I find if there is a new version of the htconfiguration tool and how will it help my situation? And how would I use it/
Thanks
Brian
I typed in google "gprs settings orange israel" and had lots of links. eg here at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=218329. Maybe the first one does not work since the link maybe old. Try a few posts and you should be up and running in a few minutes.
htcconfiguration tool ??? I think I invented myself the name. I am referring to the same app you mentioned connectionsetup (htc made)-
this is the part of the forum where you should look for gprs settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=262
Cruiserrr
Thanks for the info. I'll check out your leads in the morning and I'll let you know how it went.
Once again, Thanks

Hi
I just bought a second hand unlocked HD2
I am on Orange. The phone will pick up 3G but I need to sync with Exchange. At work we have our own APN options. So , I have go into the connection tab but from some reason , there is no Cellular 3G,GPRS option, only GPRS. The phone does sync, but I don't think I am getting a 3G connection
With my previous phone Diamond 2, when I did the same thing, the 3G was an option
Am I missing something?
Which version of HD2 did you buy? Did you even check if your HD2 3g bandwidth is compatible with orange?
Not sure I understand your question , but I believe I have a
HD2 T8585
Did you even check if your HD2 3g bandwidth is compatible with orange?
Others at work, have a HD2, so it will work on 3G. I was unaware that there was different types of HD2!!
as long as your basically anywhere but america the 8585 should work (dont quote me on this, obviously there are others) ie uk, europe, south africa should work. I believe australia has their own band specific version as well...
id suggest you go to the rom site, install an original rom, and see if it works afer you run an auto configure in the network settings.
Alternatively, try flashing a new radio rom and see if it works. the 2.07.50 works well for me in SA. some others also only give me EDGE.
I don't know how you have it in your country, but here in Denmark the providers have downloadable 3G settings to their networks that we have to pull down to get it to work...
Unless of course we set it up manually.
Maybe you haven't gotten the setup from Orange?
Hey there, you should check your band settings:
Go to settings > connections > network advanced > in the first tab you can choose "off" or "only HSDPA" or "HSDPA/HSUPA". click on the last option for 3G band.
My former devices (X1i and Hermes) you had band-settings for GSM or 3G but on the HD2 i cannot find it, so this option is changed in WM6.5 i guess.
Hello,
I hope my title will help to find this topic.
In fact, I'm looking from year a solution to force or help my phone to choose the operator / Carrier I want.
Before, I had a phone plan without roaming and my phone (Samsung Galaxy S7) alway search to connect to my home operator and drain the battery !
Now I have an internationnal phone plan and even when I am in the other country my phone continu to connect to my home opertor even if the roaming opertaor is better.
The automatic search take time and finish with the same operator that before most of the time. And the manuel search take to much time (during that I can't use my phone) and when I came back at home, my phone loose the connection of course.
So is there a way to use easely a phone near a border ??
I think that Xposed could help me but I read the description of the module (https://repo.xposed.info/module/net.caze.roamingcontrol) and it doesn't change the way that the automatic search works or create a list of prefered operator ordered.
15 year ago I had a phone from Philips witch offer this functionnality, I'm quite optimist that a solution is possible.
Thanks in advance for you help.
Regards
James

Samsung Galaxy S7 should have the feature to automatically switch the mobile network provider.
Check settings - connections - mobile networks - network provider ... select the option to automatically switch.
Hello, of course you can choose the automatically switch in S7 but it doesn't work. When you choose this option (and you have to do manualy) if you a provider is avaible the phone will keep this one even if it's not your prefered or the most powerfull. The automacally connection works only when you have lost your actual provider.
