Hello, i'll not have my iphone for 1 month and my GF gave me his old phone HTC touch 2... i want to say thx to this comunity because yesterday evening i managed really fast to change rom with a best one and that improved my phone experience of around 1276% :O
now my problem: i use 3HG italy that goes on roaming under telecom italia a LOT with high costs and i can't find any option in this phone for disable roaming
there is any kind of app that can allow me to turno off Roaming when not under 3HG?
So thx for any advice...
You don't need app for this. On Touch2 go in "Start - Settings - Personal - Phone" and to the "Network" tab, change "Network selection" in "Manual", then your phone search for GSM network. In window "Choose Network", select an available network and the tap OK, in your case "3HG" or "Telecom Italia".

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
Brian
Anyone got an HTC HD7 ?
If so, how do you select from a list of available networks ?
A friend of mine has just bought one on O2 and is stuck in Dubai with no emails - it was working perfectly in the UK, and all relevant services are enabled on his O2 account.
Roaming/data are both enabled on the phone itself but the phone has defaulted to the Etisalat network. O2 recommend using either of the AL JAWAL, Mobily or Zain networks for their services to work in Middle East/Emirates countries.
Anyone got a UK one and care to offer a menu sequence to select from available networks ?
I think the options are under cellular in the settings menu. Not sure about how to change it manually though
HTC app called connection wizard or something...
Go to settings>cellular>scroll to bottom, choose tap to select where it says network selection:automatic
I recently bought a samsung infuse from ebay. It's unlocked for me because i live in norway. But I have 2 problems! 1: I can't select the mobile network who I want to use. 2: I can't surf online on the phone using my carrier, it works only with wifi.
Can anyone help me?
sorry for my bad english!

You type better English than most Australians I know
To use your carriers data service, you will need to set up what are called 'APNs' on your phone. This installs the correct settings on your phone to access the internet.
Setting up APNs is very simple. Go into Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks. In here there is an option called 'Access Point Names'. If you tap on it, you're probably looking at a blank screen. This is where we can add your carrier's internet settings
What carrier are you using? We will need to locate the correct settings for you, before proceeding
Talk to you soon!
me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I just unlocked my SGS2 i9100, (rooted + used the app). I've just taken out my O2 sim, and put in my new Ovivo one (free contract - it's too good to be true, but it's true!).
Anyway, as after powering on a pop-up windows appeared asking me to select my "Sim Service", and I had the choice of:
-Vodafone Contract
-Vodafone PAYG
-BT Mobile
-ASDA
-TalkTalk Contract
-TalkTalk PAYG
-TalkMobile
I know Ovivo is vodafone, but since it you have a free allowance every month, on top of credit, I didn't know which one to choose. Even worse, I accidentally clicked one and don't know which I chose.
Two questions:
1) How do I get this Sim Service window back up?
2) Does anyone know which setting I should choose for Ovivo?
I presume this window is just for APN settings and it may not matter that much, but I'd still like to select the right one!
Thanks!

try .. settings .. wireless & network settings .. (long press) mobile networks .. access point names. the highlighted one will be the one you selected. Available networks should give you a list of network operators .. but ovivo will not be one of them.
i am trying to use the viper rom on my desire hd and have the same problem.
i think previously i selected bt-mobile and then changed all the apn settings but not seeing the bt one at the moment.
extra .. i tried installing viper again today and bt-mobile was one of the options so i selected that.
then i went to the apn and noticed that bt-mobile wasn't highlighted (ie no dot in the circle) so press menu and create the 2 apn's that ovivo require, save each one then select the main ovivo one as the preferred carrier (you should also be able to delete the bt apn but not really necessary.
hopefully, somebody will know how to resolve this with ovivo .. meanwhile i'm going to restore back to sabsa v14 .. i need mobile internet everyday.
pity, because viper looks interesting.
dave.
Just found it.
Go to settings --> mobile networks --> access point names. then menu button, and reset to default and it'll ask you to choose a "Sim Service" again.
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.

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.
