[PROJ] Library of operator USSD commands

Hello!
I have an intersting project in mind that should help many people once it gathers steam - a list of USSD commands for all operators around the world.
You can help us by posting in this thread your operator name, country and useful USSD codes.
Also, if you know of any ready-to-use databases around the internet, please post a link here and we will add that info.
Best regards, Fahrbot team.

For me it is not for Balance but for extra minutes. I have Play Mixtura plan. For see full balance I use *101#, it works for display cash left. It also show time and date when balance is available to use. When I want to setup that, is shows 0.0. Date is in YYYY-MM-DD format, time HH-MM-SS.

New Record! SMS App sends 450 characters in single SMS!

A new app, KyshMysh compresses upto 450 characters into a single SMS, versus the default limit of 160!
It's FREE on the Android Market: Search for KyshMysh in android market (or google)
KyshMysh employs cutting edge compression techniques to pack as many as 450 English characters into a single SMS. Think of KyshMysh as an incredibly good “zip” utility for text messaging.
Secret Sauce: KyshMysh's patent pending technology uses a training algorithm to “teach” the app a given language. Currently, KyshMysh is fluent in English, and has been able to compress upto 450 characters to within 160, which is the upper limit of the SMS standard. However, much like an infant learning a new language, KyshMysh doesn’t compress (comprehend) words and patterns that it hasn’t encountered during training, or is statistically unlike the rest of the language. For instance, the word “Djibouti” is statistically very different from a regular English word, in that it is rare for a “j” to follow a “D” in regular English. If you input gibberish into KyshMysh, its compression ratio drastically reduces. Similarly, compression of other languages won’t be on par with that of English.

NTP Server List (Improve GPS quality/accuracy)

Replace your old NTP server by new one according to your location/Country. Then, your GPS locating will work faster/ GPS servers will be found more quickly.
Go to /system/etc/gps.conf (via any file manager, you need root -you know)
Now, back up the gps.conf file for any further use. Now replace the NTP server address according to your current country/location(the NTP servers list is given below). And save the file.

when go to lk.pool.ntp.org it says
"Forbidden

I can't thank you enough for this. Changing the NTP servers to the appropriate one for my country increased my GPS accuracy 10 fold (Was getting ~30m, now getting ~3m)

I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Are you saying that if I live in the US, I should replace:
Code:
north-america.pool.ntp.org
with
Code:
us.pool.ntp.org
?

I also wanna be sure I'm doing it right. I think in your case it is sth like
#Test
NTP_SERVER=time.gpsonextra.net
#North America
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER_US=us.pool.ntp.org
Note so sure about the:
#Test
NTP_SERVER=time.gpsonextra.net
But yeah ... i tried basically the same for Europe and for the country I am in, in Europe, but still fail ... guess my LG Spirit just has a ****ty gps.

OK, probably a syntax issue or something. Not familiar with the syntaxt but the # seems to have made the difference in my case. Since I saw how it was organized by default it made sense to stick to that syntax. So I had originally this:
Code:
#Test
#NTP_SERVER=time.gpsonextra.net
#Asia
# NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
#Europe
[B]NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER_SCA=south-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER_AME=asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER_AU=oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER_CN=cn.pool.ntp.org[/B]
#North America
# NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
#Korea
#NTP_SERVER=0.kr.pool.ntp.org
#JP
# NTP_SERVER=3.jp.pool.ntp.org
...
Notice that the # is missing European entries prolly cos the phone was setup this way, since i bought it in EU.
I now have:
Code:
#Test
#NTP_SERVER=time.gpsonextra.net
#Asia
# NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
#Europe
[B]NTP_SERVER=uk.pool.ntp.org[/B]
#North America
# NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
#Korea
#NTP_SERVER=0.kr.pool.ntp.org
#JP
# NTP_SERVER=3.jp.pool.ntp.org
I kept everything the same, and since the # was missing only for the entries under '#Europe' I therefore edited only that. Here's the source where I got the NTPs - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243965 Seems the GPS works for now on its own.

Has anyone tested the difference between using Global — pool.ntp.org VS country.pool.ntp.org. ?
The dns servers should select a close local ntp server when using pool.ntp.org.

I've tested, works slightly better as far as I feel.:good:

Security threat, "man in the middle attack, UMTS"

Mass surveillance are documented whit our cell phones.
Thousands of volunteers have with their mobile phone uploaded their results to different cell tower (base station) databases.
The hack that is picked up whit our mobilphones is,
"man in the middel attack, umts"
The explanation is that GSM base stations is pretending to be an official GSM station and emits a Cell ID.
In the EU it is a human right to have telecommunications secrecy, it means that your phone calls must be encrypted.
(it is very likely also human rights in many other countries)
You will need to compar whit official database for your area.
voluntarily collect databases.:
Opencellid.org
cellmapper.net
wigle.net (blue dots)
opensignal.com
http://www.cellumap.com/
Mozilla location services.
there are many other databases.
Official cell tower database.:
Denmark.: Mastedatabasen.dk
Norway.: finnsenderen.no
Schweiz.: Funksender.ch
Great Britain.: http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/search

Netherlands.: http://www.antenneregister.nl/Html5Viewer_Antenneregister/Index.html?viewer=antenneregister
USA.: http://www.antennasearch.com/
Pleas.
Provide permalinks is there are things you don't understand, and the official database for your area and I will have a look.
Or ask a questions.
eksampel when comparing databases.:
how to compare, openopencellid.org and the official database for thr area you want to check, you will see it straight away, there is a huge difference.
or for the USA opencellid.org, wiggle.net, opensignal.com, etc.. in conjunction whit http://www.antennasearch.com/
