Disable roaming function, manually select provider

Can someone tell me if it is (and how) possible to disable all other providers except for your own.
So when passing over the border preventing the htc wizard to select another provider (roaming).
I know it's possible to manual select a provider, but when it has no range it will (automatically) select another (roaming) provider.
I want only my own provider and if it's not available I want none at all.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to do this?
(windows mobile 5, HTC wizard)

hi
Sorry to bring back this old thread, but got exactly the same problem, and I didn't found an answer yet.
I leave in Switzerland, near the border with France.
As in Switzerland GSM transmitter have lower power than in France, my HTC Touch switch very often to french network and don't come back to home one.
So I want to completly disable roaming (any way can be used), and when travelling, I can switch roaming back on.
Any one can help me ?
Thanks

Hi
Nope, sorry it doesn't work.
I already set network on manual, but when "home network" is not available, phone switch to foreign one.
That's why I was asking if anybody got a solution.

HTC Touch Cruise & new phone operator

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

[Q] Sim card does not allow connection to this network

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] Force Network Selection

First of all, I have searched the forums extensively, and can't find a solution to this, however I may have missed something...
Basically, I am on EE in the U.K which means I can use either the T-Mobile or Orange networks, but my contract was with T-Mobile, so my phone always prefers to use that one. If I go into Network Selection, I see all the operators listed (T-Mobile has a picture of a house next to it) and I can chose Orange. It registers and everything works perfectly, for a few minutes. I assume the phone then realizes that T-Mob is available and jumps straight back to it, although I can go back in and choose Orange again, until it decides to change back.
The problem is basically that the T-Mob network is very busy where I live and although I get a perfect signal, I get ridiculous Internet speeds (despite being on H+), dropped/failed calls and text messages that can take upto 30 minutes to be received. If I am on Orange, I don't have these issues!
Anyone have any solution to this? I see a few threads on the issue in various devices, however none have a solution and most are quite old...

Try changing Search settings to manual @andys5

go to settings, network operators, and search mode change from automatic to manual
btw wrong section

Hi andys5
I am also in the UK with Three/3 & I have a similar issue. I don't receive calls & messages immediately, sometimes if someone messages me I receive the messages from anywhere between 30 minutes to a few hours later which is ridiculous. It is a similar case for calls, someone may try to call me but never get through (nor would I receive a call)-I would only find out hours later when they call again. My network coverage is fine in my area-I think it is the phone. Before the Xperia L I had the Live with Walkman which I never had problems with (no late calls/messages) in the same location with same network. I am sure it is the Xperia L which the problem resides with, may it be the hardware or firmware, I think it is the phone.
I must say that it is a pain at times, it doesn't happen all the time but it does occur often.

Doesn't work...

Thanks for the reply. I have done this, however it doesn't work. It stays on manual, and my chosen network for anything up to a minute, then the settings change back to "Automatic" and it puts me back to the network I don't want to be on.
Very annoying.

Question Frequently lost mobile internet connection

Bought in Belarus country (the timezone is UTC+3) - for a few months everything was OK.
Moved to Georgia county (the timezone is UTC+4), bought a local sim and started to have problem with mobile internet. I live in a city with good connection, at the top right I see 4G, but I often need to disable data traffic and enable again - to continue to use internet.
I was in the office of the operator, they tried to create an APN, and gave me another sim.
Also tried network preferences reset, multiple times.
Also disabled "Check time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically".
All updates, stock ROM, Android 12.
Official LineageOS rom will fix this problem?
Please help.

The service will do nothing to you. Changing the software won't help either. I tried, there was a problem with this on the site twice and they did nothing but update the software. But I found a "way" to select a mobile operator, I bought a second sim card, but it is important that it was from a different provider. I put it in and it's on my phone, I don't call from it, I don't use data from it. It's just plugged in and turned on in the settings. Previously, the problem was so strong that I had to turn on the airplane mode for about a minute, or turn off data transmission, as you write, or have forced 3G not LTE (4G) all the time. And now, literally for a moment, the Internet will disappear and reappear after a while, and it is no longer bothersome. It's such a partial solution to the problem. After the holidays, he will send it to be repaired again. They will probably send back that everything is OK. And if that does not help, he will write to the representative office in Poland, Xiaomi, maybe they will help. You can always make black piar on the web.
