WM6 - Operator name

Hi everybody, very strange thing happened to me, because of bat drain I decide to switch back to WM5 and then put Core 2.0 back on it, I did this with Molski.biz AKU 3.3 - Crossbow look and I noticed the operator name exists as it should be (never happened before, I always had some digits instead of operator name), and after I've put core 2.0 back, then the digits appeared again instead of operator name.
Hope, I explained it ok
And the question is, can somebody give me any directions how to get the operator name back on my x-plore core 2.0, is there any reg key to change, I found that number (operator number) on two places, one is a string value, and the second is decimal, but if I try to change the string to my operator name, and reboot - nothing happened which is understandable in some point...but...
Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Just to let interested people know:
Customize operator's name
To show specified operator name set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=0 (DWORD decimal)
And then at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\Operator Names
add the code and the name to display. The value is 5 digits "CCCOO", where CCC is 3-digits country code, and OO is 2-digits operator's code. For example:
"25099"="BEE LINE"
For country and network code, go to wikipidea for mobile country code and network code
To show operator name based on the SIM card used (eg for cases where dual SIM adapter are used), set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=1 (DWORD decimal)
For my dual-SIM adaptor, when I switch between SIMs, the phone with default settings showed always one and the same name, until I reboot the device. Then, it was not able to retrieve operator's name from one of the SIM cards I use. Probably it is an adaptor fault. But anyway, after I changed ONSDisplayRule to 0 and set more up-to-date names for operators that I use, I now always see the name of the operator of the chosen SIM.

when i first got my Audiovox SMT5600 however long ago, all it would show until one day was 310-410. i finally realized that this was simply the carrier's ID number, and can be fixed simply by going into the network settings and changing the preferred network to the actual carrier's name and not the number. i hope this helps, i havent had a problem since this happened, which was about 3 or 4 years ago.. i think it may have saved my settings onto my SIM card which is why.. anyway good luck

My gues is U had a bad flash, try reflashing again with diferent WM 5 ROM.Good luck.

thanks alot, man!

X7510 will not read information off SIM card

Telecom New Zealand has recently launced its "new" mobile network - WCDMA on 850MHz (it was a the rather antiquanted CDMA system prior!). Their range of "new" phones was nothing spectacular really and nothing much else worldwide appealed to me more than the X7510, so I duely purchased one from the UK.
When the SIM card was installed the unit come up with the following message:-
The Operator does not exist in the database. Please contact your Operator for the connections settings.
[Intrestingly enough, Vodafone NZ is in the database, even although the X7510 is not sold in NZ - but I digress!]
However the phone function and SMS appear to be working well, apart from the fact that it refuses to acknowledge the NZ Telecom Voicemail number. I get a good solid H in the Quick Menu Bar.
The data connection refuses to work at all though.
I have contacted "the Operator", but they are not all that interested in helping me as the X7510 is not a phone we support and while they've helped a little bit, the several HelpDesk Operators I've tried, all seem to end up with the same conclusion that everything the phone needs to know about the network and connection is on the SIM card.
When I open the SIM Manager, I can "see" some of the data there. (e.g. such as the Voicemail Number, but Voicemail on the phone Speed Dial is blank - no number stored). And when I try and connect to the Internet (using the number that Telecom provided verbally) it keeps asking for more Connections Settings, which I am told, there aren't any more to enter - it's all on the SIM!
It appears to me that the phone is trying to "capture" the Operator's Settings via radio rather than obtain it from the SIM!
Is there a way I can override the radio search function and get the PDA to "look" at the SIM card? Or maybe try any other method to obtain a data connection.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Greg

I'm not too up on this, but I think your X7510 is NOT compatible with the TNZ system. Telstra use a very unusual hybrid of 850/2100 connections where most operators use 850/1900 or 2100 only. One is for upstream and the other for downstream where there are 2 figures.
Although it does support both 850 and 2100Mhz, they are on different frequency bands, so you could have the 850/1900 working OK, but not 850/2100.
What it means in practice is that whichever band you select, you will only get upstream or downstream UMTS connections, not both together. This may be why you see the 'H' but can't connect. In practice, you may only be able to use this phone on the slow GSM network.
Some of the other stuff is setup based, and some info you have been given is simply wrong!
To get the SMS and Voicemail number set, start the phone dialler, and go to Menu/Options/Services then scroll to the bottom setting in the window (VM and SMS) and tap it to highlight, then Get Settings. You may need to manually enter the VM access number you normally dial. Do 'Save to Network' and they should be OK.
For data access, you do not enter any phone numbers- you need to configure the setting as 'Cellular Modem GSM/3G' then enter the Access Point (APN) and any password and username.
It seems Telstra are cagey about publishing the connection parameters but I found this one:
GPRS APN: - telstra.internet
Username: - {blank}
Password: - {blank}
DNS: - 139.130.4.4, 203.50.170.2
As I suspect though, you may only be able to get GSM, not 3G/UMTS

Neil,
You are a Gem! Okay, the first part didn't work, but I can enter the Voicemail as Speed Dial #2 or use the Voice Dial on the Parrot BT; so no real biggy that the X7510 simply will not accept the Telecom Voicemail number.
But I did hit paydirt with your data access suggestion and that was the one that was really important for e-mails and Internet access (as there aren't too many Wi-Fi Hot Spots in sparsely populated New Zealand!!)
Thanks so much for your prompt and excellent response.
Regards,
Greg

You're welcome!
Presumably you are only getting GSM speeds for your email and web access? Or do Tesltra do something different with their band splits to allow full 3G access?
It may be interesting to go to DSL Reports when you have a good signal and see what speed you are getting. You might have to repeat the test with a larger file than the default, but you'll get the correct prompts.
GSM will give you from 25 to about 100kbps (GPRS or Edge), 3G will give up to 300kbps and HSDPA can give up to 2Mbps
I don't know if you can do anything about the incorrect speed dial 1, but at least you have a workaround. Are you sure you manually entered the Voicemail number in the VM box in Options/Services/SMS and Voicemail> Get Settings ? I've just tried this with my X7510 and after editing the VM number, then hitting 'OK' it commits the change to Speed Dial 1 correctly.
[Edit. I can alter my Speed Dial 1 number by opening the Dialler then tapping 'Speed Dial', highlighting SD1 then Menu/Edit which opens the settings screen. Scroll to the bottom of the list to select Voicemail and Text Messages then Get Settings. Manually enter your voicemail access number then tap 'OK' which send the settings to the network and commits the change to SpeedDial 1. If that doesn't work, it may suggest Telstra are blocking the ability to change. ]

Once again, thanks for the prompt reply.
On that speedtest link you gave me I got: - 483, 489 & 319 kbps. This is off the local tower which is a good 20 kms from the city. I'll try in the CBD tomorrow and see what I get.
I had aready tried your suggested methods for locking in the Voicemail number, but to no avail. On my X7510 it's called Voicemail and Text Messages and when you highlight and then Get Settings, it always shows a number for the Text Message Service, but a BIG blank for the Voice Mail!!
Intersting comment you made about the Service Provider possibly blocking the ability to change?? If they are, lil' old me ain't going to get them to change that!
b.t.w. it's Telecom, not Telstra (who although here in NZ, are not a big mobile player like they are in Ausssie). I would guess that in NZ, Telecom has about 45% market share and Vodafone likewise.
I'll be in touch on best speed as at this stage, I appear to be somewhere between 3G and HSDPA?
Cheers,
Greg

ok- your figures are showing a pretty good connection speed so you are definitely in the HSDPA zone!
With regard to the blank box for the VM number: have you actually tried typing your VM number into the box then hitting ok?

Neil,
Yes I have tried typing in the Voicemail number directly under Phone Settings. When I hit OK, it says "Sending new settings to Network" and then comes back with "Cannot Save your changes"
On the speed - I have just picked up the "new" USB data card (for use on the same HSPDA Network) for my laptop and given that a try - wow! Download 6,485 kbs - Upload 1,445 - that's 1.5 x times the speed of my Office copper-wire broadband system. Telecom did promise some pretty impressive speeds and they are delivering (by NZ standards anyway).
I actually think your first summation of the this NZ Network being on 850/2100 (and not compatible with setup on X7510) might be correct Neil as about 545 kbs is the best I can achieve on the X7510. Hey, I can live with that, the other features of the X7510 make up for that and the laptop is never far away if I want to get some real speed!!!
Cheers,
Greg

Manual Network Selection - HTC Touch2

I bought an HTC Touch2 (unbranded) and for whatever reason I can not change the "Network selection" to "Manual".
The "Phone -> Menu -> Options... -> Network" screen didn't even contain any settings besides "Find Network".
A quick google found the policy setting reliable for it and changing "HKLM\Security\phone\ManualDisable = 0" does bring the desired setting temporarily back.
However, after a reboot the key changes back to 0. (Could fix that with a program in autostart.)
However even with the setting enabled I can not change it to manual selection. The moment I try to select a network from the list I get the following error message: "Cannot register on selected network. Choose another network, or disconnect you data connection." (I have not data connection open.)
Any ideas?
Help would be appreciated!
Christian

I thought it might be a TouchFlo issue, as the Band selection is gone as well but accessable through TouchFlo.
But the settings are available on the HTC Touch pro2. I am really annoyed about this issue, as I deliberatly bought an unbranded device to avoid having to hack it -> if I wanted that pleasure I would have bought an i-thing.
I was able to identify the registry keys changed by the setting:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneNetSelMode]
"ManualNet"="11122"
"Option"=dword:00000001
111 = the desired networks MCC
22 = the desired networks MNC
I will try out if setting the keys manually will have the desired effect or if they will get set back automatically after reboot. Should that work I might just write an app to set them. (Somehow I doubt it though.)
Is there a contact for HTC one can contact for this kind of enquires?

Just in case anybody else has the same issue.
it turned out that the SIM card sent an ADPU command to the ME on initialization that told the OS to disable the functions.
So running my batch was overwritten every time the phone reconnected to the network.
Getting a different SIM card solved that issue.

i have this same exact problem. i don't mind buying a new simcard, but before i do how can i be sure i'm buying one that doesn't send the adpu command to reset the registry? i doubt the guys at the store i buy the simcard from will have a clue what i'm talking about. i have a really old sim from cingular before they were bought by att, which is my current provider.
do you have a script or batch that i can run on my phone manually to set the registry? i'm using ceregeditor now but if i don't have a computer then i need to be able to set this key using just the phone.
thanks!

GSM Data & Phone Settings - Overseas

I am visiting Australia for 3 months this summer and was hoping to use my TP2 with a Virgin Mobile Australia SIM card for voice and data. From searching the forum it looks as if I am going to need some setting for data access, and possible to disable CMGuardian.
When I have used my UK Orange or Italian TIM SIM in my Motorola Razr under Tools I see some SIM specific menu items for checking credit, recharging etc. Will I see the same things in the TP2 once it make a connection?
I would appreciate any suggestions for anybody who has used a GSM SIM for data access.
Thanks

No you need to contact the provider and find out the settings for data

GSM Overseas settings
Now in Australia, I have had to adjust several settings and I want to pass on what I learned. After inserting the Virgin Mobile SIM, don't forget to switch to GSM only. There are some CDMA services in Australia and you don't want to roam onto them or you will be paying the Sprint Roaming rates. The Virgin SIM did not show up as an icon under settings and tools the way that other SIM cards have.
I found my phone worked as a phone, GPS worked and it would go on the internet thru Opera. However, at first it would not access my email and required me to dial local calls in Australia as if they were long distance.
I found I needed to change the Global Smart Dialing settings which can be found under Phone, Menu, Global Smart Dialing (need to scroll down to see this option on the Menu). Change the "dialing from" to the correct number required before country code. So for Australia, where you dial 00 before the country code when dialing out internationally, selecting Australia will change the 011 (used when dialing from the USA) to 00.
Next I needed to change the dialing rules. Go to Start, Settings, Menu, All Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced Tab, Dialing Rules. I ticked the box for "use dialing rules", and edited the rules for Mobile, Work and Home to use the Australia country code of 61 and blanked the area code. I think I could have got the same result by editing the dialing pattern for local calls to remove the E and the F so that local calls did not have the country code or area code prefixed to them.
To fix the Email issue, I had to go to my email accounts by going to the Inbox, Menu, Tools, Options and tapping on each email setup in turn. Once in an email setup, select "Edit Account Settings" and tap Next 4 times to get to Advanced Server Settings. Here there is a drop down list of Network connections. I had to change mine from "The Internet" to VirginGPRS.
NOTE: Have not had a chance to try this, but probably the easier way to fix the email issue is to go to Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced tab and under Programs that automatically......should connect using "VirginGPRS" or whatever service you are using.
At this point I have phone calls, local SMS, internet and email working. I still have a problem with international SMS.
I am sure somebody understands this better than me and perhaps their is a more elegant way of doing this, but at least it worked.

[Q] How to find SPC code?

How to find SPC code?
I logged into hiden menu and the Global told me to enter it.
What is it??

Plz tell me what hidden menu you loged in ?

i know what it is,
open the dialer , and type ##7764726
then the phone will request you to input the spc code, but i didnt get what it is.
i googled and got that the default code should be 000000, but not working for me! how can i find it out

Switch to CDMA mode and code will 'become' 000000
For GSM/UMTS mode - code is not that one (unknown).

Interesting. Let me try it out.
I wonder if it will stil work provided that I am using GSM network.

I just tried it.
YOu can access the hidden menu by setting the network to Global or CDMA
Dial "##7764726"
Then enter 000000 as the SPC Code
The hidden menu is a little different than what we see on the net. It seems that the Droid 2 Global additional settings.
I went to choice 06 (Test Mode) and kept pressing next until it came to "Field Test Screen" and changed the service option from the default EVRC to EVRC-B which is suggested on the net for better call quality.
However, I wonder if this does any improvement for GSM users. To be able to access the hidden menu using the SPC Code 000000 I had to change the network to Global or CDMA. I am unable to use the same SPC code when the network is set to GSM.
I only wonder if GSM users need to set to something other than EVRC-B for better sound quality and also stronger network signal.
Anyway, after setting to EVRC-B I went back and changed the network to GSM/UMTS and the network signal still remains week. NOt sure about sound quality.

some say that the gsm signal is only wrongly showed, do you think so? in fact i can still make phone call with one bar of signal

Not sure what to say.
I also can make calls with one signal strength but the 3G speed varies alot. At times it is super fast and at times it lags.
It has to do something with the signal strength.
Normally Hong Kong has very good singal strength becuse Hong Kong is a small place.
We should easily be able to make phone calls with just 1 signal bar strength.
Does anyone know the signal strength for the recently released Milestone 2 in Hong Kong?

Have you tried the Hidden Menu trick?
You are using GSM also right?

Easy to get it
Just follow this :
Method 1 of the following link(only steps 0 to step 4[until click "RDELEM"] ):
you have to choose the "Main -> MA -> CDMA1X -> QSC 60x5 Chipset Base (6055/6075/6085)"
http://www.mobile-files.com/forum/showthread.php/433-Motorola-CDMA-SPCs-For-Dummies?
and instead of element id 0055, use element ID: 2786. This will give to you the Hex value:
SPC HexaDecimal: 3x003x003x003x003x003x
the "x" are the 6 values of the SPC.
more information in this page:
http://www.taringa.net/posts/celulares/3746618/Desbloquear-Motorola-Q9C-Y-Algunas-Aplicaciones.html
do not write any value with radioComm, just get the spc value.

do you know how I can connect droid x to radio com. I boot in to bootloader, and radiocomm is green. I put element 2786 but when I try to read, it say critical error on the phone and didn't read the spc code.
