Currently my phone says U.S. Cellular, but I am in Ottawa Canada, and know that I am using the Telus network. How can I change that?

Thanks for the thought, however, that is only modifying the Banner text and does not affect the Network name. very strange, I wonder what I did to my phone???? Still works fine, but weird to see US Cellular whenever I make a phone call.

the network name is embedded in the PRI firmware. it's just text. that program replaces that text on your sceen. it's what everyone uses that wants to change that. If it just changed out of the blue on you, a different PRL could have caused that.

On other phones I've always modified the /system/etc/spn-conf.xml file in order to change the carrier name on screen. The file is there on this phone as before but it doesn't have any effect. My APN shows the same numbers as before (even though my phone is LTE but I'm not using LTE).
I'm all debloated and unbranded except for the ugly carrier name. Anyone know what's different now?
Yes some other people have asked the same question but so far I don't see any clue to how this is different on this phone. The traditional ways clearly don't work on this phone. Something else is setting the carrier name and the spnoverride doesn't work.
Short story: I'd like to be able to activate US Cellular and Telus branded Snaps on Verizon or Sprint. Assume for the purposes of this question that the ESN on these devices can be activated on Verizon's network. What steps must be taken for the phone to be recognized on the Verizon network such that data will work?
What I can do/have already tried: Activated US Cellular and other carrier's HTC Snap (SMT6175) devices on both Verizon and Sprint's networks via both OTA and manual programming of the MDN, etc. The device works fine for voice and text, but data does not work. I've changed the CID of the device using a Riffbox, I've manually changed HDR AN and PPP user IDs and passwords, I've put HSPL on the SMT6175 and installed the stock WM6.5 Verizon ROM. The phones activate using OTAP, but don't get the correct UID and passwords in the PPP fields for some reason.
If I do a hard reset after making modifications, the phones go back to thinking they are US Cellular phones, based on the pre-populated settings in the PPP and other fields.
I need to figure out what it is that makes the phones know they should revert back to US Cellular or whatever the original carrier was, and hopefully make permanent changes so that I can get the phones to work just like a real Verizon HTC Ozone (xv6175) that could be activated normally via OTAP, and have voice, text, and data working.
Any ideas or suggestions? Please reply or send PM! Thanks!

Just knock if you can hear me.
Hello everyone, i have a sim-free Xperia Z3 (D6643)
However, i can't use it with my main carrier (strangely enough it came with that same carrier ROM/bloatware pre-installed). Signal pops up, mobile data connects and let me uses it just fine, but when i try to make calls/send texts or recieve those, it doesn't.
"Conditional call forwarding enabled" is the message i recieve, then it disconnects the call.
I'm using an alternative carrier that works just fine '-'
Question for the advanced users of flashtools (if this have something to do with my issue).
i flashed a already packed .tft ROM.
Read in a tutorial that i must exclud all the ".ta" files before make a .tft, analyzing the files before making a .tft i've foun a "SIM Lock.ta" let it out of the process and build my .tft just fine, but i haven't flashed this ROM because i'm not sure if i'll be able to use my usual carrier after the process.
Can anyone confirm that?
Right now i'm sitting at 23.4.A.1.232 for the D6603 model.
I know someone must know a way out for this :fingers-crossed:
Which network provider do you use? Try disabling ALL call forwarding through call settings.

Hello sir, i looked up to call forwarding settings and it's all disabled already... Yet, when i try to change any settings there a message says that network isn't responding, something like that.
My country has four major carriers, it just works properly with only one!!
Really strange, given the fact that we don't have carrier locked or exclusive devices plus all the things i've spotted in my first post (signal is full, 4g conneceted).
Hello all..
I have this issue with my Note Edge 915T (T-Mobile Variant). It is unlocked and I use it in Venezuela with Digitel (LTE BAND 3: 1800) and the phone DOES connect to LTE with no issues (I get the 4G/LTE icon), and I can browse with no problems, but no one can call me, nor can I make any calls or text. In other phones, when I call, data drops and I can call and when I finish, data comes back up. HEre, LTE stays up and my call does not get through. Then after some tries, it drops to EDGE and won't pick up LTE until I reboot or something.
If I try a different operator, it goes to HDSPA (3.5G) and I get voice and data (data drops while calling, but it ir normal), but I want to use my operator with LTE.
Im running MM and I deactivated VoLTE as my carrier does not support it, but is there something else I'm missing?
This may sound stupid, but have you set your APNs? You can also try resetting your network. Dial ##72786#. Also Does your carrier require any certain apps. Example FreedomPop requires a specific app for getting/making calls, as they are mainly VOIP MVNO...

Hi! thank you but yes, the APNs are perfect, I can use Data, the issue is that I cant call as the data signal stays in 4G/LTE and with my carrier, when calling, it drops data signal and it calls, here I can't. Im starting to think it has to do with CSC being with TMO, and I should use another one either from my country or a general One (BTU) for example. Will try to flash a rom from a different carrier to see if it works.
The only other option might be *#BAND# (2263),which could be dangerous, if you do not note original settings. Sometimes a complete ODIN can restore.
I normally use Nova Launcher - Widget- Activities- Somewhere under phone or settings. Shortcut Called PhoneInfo or DeviceInfo, which is much safer&consistently works! The app w/ same name no longer works. It took me forever & I always export my desktop, so I have that shortcut. The last option is an app called Samsung Phone Info+, but is paid or free if u know.... I really hate paid apps. It has under menu secret codes as well.
Hey,
for about a month I've been having problems with calls going directly to the voicemail and not reaching me. I use 4g cause 3g has very bad connection where I live.
Now I am almost 100% sure there was a VoLTE option that I could check/uncheck in the mobile network options, but it seems it has disappeared.
Is there a way to disable VoLTE? Cause I read my problem comes from having it enabled, but now that the option is gone, I can't disable.
Phone is European version, I didn't flash anything or so, 100% stock

Anyone, please?

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately yes, check the attached screenshot please. I checked every option there. I must get rid off this VOLTE somehow, it's making big problems for me.

what's your access point name? have you chosen it to correct carrier? have you recently change carriers, if so that may the the problem not supporting the correct LTE bands for that carrier.

The APN I can only choose one, which is the correct one.
The carrier, there might be something about this. Recently my service provider merged with another, but I can only use one it seems. See the picture attached. Also thanks again .
Edit: When I searched for a carrier manually the first time, there was no 4G E-Plus. There was only 3g. Does this tell us something?
I use FRD-AL10,..Does it support VolTE?
