Hi All, I've scoured this forum and the net, but haven't come across what I'm looking for yet, so hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for a today plugin that shows network operator information such as
- Network Name (e.g. O2-UK)
- Nework Code (e.g. 234 10)
- Cell Broadcast (e.g. 01753)
- Operator Logo (one that changes with the network you're on)
I have the HTC home which shows network name, but actually didn't update as I whilst roaming in Paris last week, as I travelled between networks.
Does such a thing exist?
Cheers,
GT.

Dear All,
When roaming recently with my SPV-M5000 (Universal) in Bahrain I notice that the network name was merely a number and not a name. There are two networks in Bahrain (Batelco's Mobile-Plus and Vodafone's MTC-Vodafone). When on the Batelco network the network is identified correctly but the Vodafone network displays just a ID instead. I assume this is because there some kind of list inside the phone with networks with name and IDs and the MTC-Vodafone isn't there so a number is displayed instead. Anything I can do to add this network to the list ? All I can seem to do is to change the order of the list but not add a new entry.
Thanks
Hello,
Is it possible to get all the cellid of a place for the all the network available.
Example when I try to do a network search from my mobile, it shows me all the Service provider available.
Question Will it be possible to get all the cellid of provides at any point.
I am looking at changing profile etc based on cell id (not of my provider but other when my cellid is not available ).
Also Note: Phone is not in roaming so I cannot register to any other provider.
Any ideas !!
Thanks
Is there some program in windows directory that is being used to locate all the available Network ??
Hi, I've tried to do a bit of searching on XDA / google but not found exactly what I am looking for. I've seen all the APN switchers but these do not alter the actual network provider from what I understand.
What I would like to do is have an automated why of switching between T-Mobile and Orange networks. In the UK we can now use either network but the current policy is that when the provider is set to automatic network selection if a T-Mobile signal cannot be found then it should switch to an Orange signal if one is available.
This is fine but my T-Mobile signal is not very good in certain locations (fail to get SMS message) and so I'd like to be able to switch to Orange without going through the system settings menu which is slow because of the network search.
I'd love to get a tasker plugin or script that could automatically perform the switch based on location if possible.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
Did you find any solutions for that because I need exactly the same thing?
Thanks
Sadly not, I've ended up just using the Orange signal full time.
I am posting this as a new thread as my reply on a similar thread got lost or ignored and I would really appreciate inputs :
Randomly at times when I try to register on network manually (MTNL Dolphin 3G - Mumbai). Unrooted MB865 ver 2.3.6 & updated on 18th May 2012 to System Ver 55.28.37.MB865.AsiaRetail.en03. If I keep the setting as Automatic in Type of Network & Operator it functions fine fluctuating between Dolphin for local access & CellOne on roaming access in the same area based on cell tower connection the phone registers on alternating between "E" & "H" automatically based on cell mast direction proximity, however if I select 3G only and uncheck automatic for operator then the phone searches for signal for a very long time and fails to show any operator saying "no connection available" & sometimes when "Dolphin" network does appear and try to select manually get the error as "this sim card does not allow connection to this network". I did complain with the service provider and they were supposed to get back to me after checking in their switchboard exchange where I also provided them my SIM number in addition to my cellphone number(no response). Also as is case with poor service of all Indian cell network providers even in urban cities, also face random peculiar issue of call not being received inspite of signal available on the phone & network asking me to recheck the number I have dialled while placing outgoing calls though it is ok and signal is sufficient. Also "Network Speed Booster" app looks like a lot of bull (any other good apps??)
I needed to know using the secret Menu *#*#4636#*#* for 3G GSM service which kind of network I should ideally select for best results & does this setting override the regular menu network settings??
I get "G", "E", "H" randomly based on my locations but no "3G" or "H+" and further at times these icons are grey and sometimes blue and in either cases randomly
at different locations sometimes data throughput is not there as only one of the arrow shows active blinking. Any advise on the status based on colors and the blinking of the arrows?? Thanks!
PS _ This is what another user had posted (do you guys feel this is a phone defect?)
I wasn't able to solve this problem about an year. But did. And totally sure that it is Device's defect (in some cases it is a ROM deffect as in my case, in other - hardware. Smth like stack overflow issues at GSM controller or so). A year ago when I had face this "sim card does not allow connection... " problem, there are no google serch results on this keywords request. Any. To remove this message I was ought to reboot my device every time it appears. And I was thinking that it is normal behaviour for my device. But now there are lot of complainings at the web ( minimum 5 of Galaxy Tabs P1000, thousands of HTC Disire, few motorolla Deffy, 10 Galaxy Ace, few of Nexus S and so on), so I understand that I'm not alone, and problem is known. So I went to Samsungs Service and they confirmed that it is famous problem, have flashed my phone with some magic ROM (magic because it is official but does not available anywhere in the web, XDA or samsung sites! ) and now my phone works fine. Any other solutions like battery removing, *#*#4636#*#* sirvice menu, new sim-card, flashing variety of modems and roms, didn't helps me. This is not faulty sim. This is serious device's defect. Bring your phone to manufacturer and let them repair it or give your money back. This is their problem not your.
[Q] Why SIM country & operator codes wrong and how were additional APN's installed?
I’m in Ireland, The offices of the Garda Ombudsman (GSOC) was in the papers earlier this year because it was suspected they were being bugged. Also apparently the Gardai have been recording calls to and from police stations for years without the public (or lawyers) being informed. So recording of telephone calls/interception is topical here is topical now.
Wearing my tin-hat, I did a full wipe and installed a Cyanogen-based ROM on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S (i9000). I manually input the correct APN settings for my network operator (48Months/O2-IRL) and I installed Orbot
I never got a network configuration SMS/MMS from the network operator. But somehow, I found also installed (not immediately) were the following APNs:
Eastlink Internet: wisp.mobi.eastlink.ca
Proximus Internet: internet.proximus.be
Eastlink MMS: mms.mobi.eastlink.ca
Proximus MMS: event.proximus.be
It’s a new SIM from when I changed network operator a few months back. The above four APNs were also installed when it came and I queried this to 48 Months with no response. I never saw these APN’s with my previous network operator.
I downloaded a SIM reader app and got the following results:
SIM State - network locked
SIM country code - be
SIM Operator code 20601
SIM IMSI 20601 8816 582453
Phone type - gsm
Network country ID - ie
Net Oper code - 27202
Net Op name - O2 Irl
Net type - HSDPA
Voice roaming - on
Data roaming - off (even though in my phone settings it is showing as on)
So the SIM country code and SIM Operator code are wrong – being for an ISP in Belgium, and also there are those additional APNs which I never installed.
To my simple mind, APN settings are sent by network operators for auto configuration, so these APN’s came from the network operator. However, I have again queried with them and now they say “The tech team have replied this morning to confirm that there is nothing from the network or anything linked with your SIM that would cause your phone to change the settings on your phone.
Due to that they have had no option but to advise you that the phone must be the reason for this.”
But to my knowledge, there are no preinstalled APNs on the ROM (cm-MacKAY ROM Android 4.4.2), and also a 3rd party app can not edit the SIM country code /SIM operator code.
I would love to get an opinion from a developer more familiar with SIMs/APN’s please
Nearly SOLVED
OK, So tin hat is back in its box now...I emailed Eastlink in Canada and they seem to have solved it - very impressive especially when compared with the responses from my network!
"I have had our network team review your question and they have determined there is no security issue and no data traffic that would affect you.
Google has been changing the method that they use for APNs in AOSP. As part of that change APN's are preloaded in Kit Kat. Eastlink's APNs are correctly present in Kit Kat for Home Network Identity 20601.
If you require further assistance with your questions it is recommended the you contact Android Open Source Project or the Cyanogenmod on line.
Thank You for contacting Eastlink Wireless Customer care. "
