Hello,
i had the same problem some months ago. My solution: I took a application called tdClock (You may download at http://www.freewareppc.com/clock/tdclock.shtml. This Application is a Today-Plugin displaying a Clock at any side of the screen. As Background Immage you can use a self-Made *.bmp-File, which may contain your Provider-Logo.
Okay, it is not Out-of-the-box, but for me it is an very nice solution and the large clock at the today screen is very helpful too.
Hope, that help.
Best Regards from Berlin!

Hi miwu !
Thanks for your contribution, but what I am looking for is a today plugin which display permanently the provider you are connected too !
I am living in a 3 country borders, if I do not take care, my gsm switch to the international providers easily ! It would be cool to see the provider name on the Top of the today !!!
Any other idea ?
Hi TotoR,
sorry, with the application i described you can only display an image, changes of the Network-Provider will not take any effect (or you have to change the picture everytime you change your provider :wink:
The only chance i see is the solution of cam in this thread. Sorry.
Best regards
Michael
Hudson Phone Dashboard does tell you who you are connected to, you can set it up so the only part that stays on the screen is just the network status.

it's part of aku2
but i used the new Qtek Test rom which is supposed to have aku2 but i did not see operator name on screen...?
Try O2 plus or phone Alarm
PhoneToday works for me the best...plus it allows you to automagically switch your phone off in the evening ! (PhoneAlarm still freezes my machine once in a while)

Hudson Mobile IP Dashboard and Hudson Mobile Phone Dashboard both are today plug ins which can be configured to give you the name of your mobile service provider in the today screen.
Regards
Davejeff: which version of phone today are you using?
Try this, the best
http://www.hudsonmobile.com/products/phodash/index.html
Not free, but the best by far...I use since a year ago and no problems...
FOUND AT LAST>>>
In a different part of the forum, its called o2 plus, version 2.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...days=0&postorder=asc&highlight=o2plus&start=0
it gives other added functionality, but i only want the network operator name bit...
heres a screen pic from xda atom... i'll post my screen soon...
Found at last.... all it needs is some registry keys... look at screen shot from Universal, and its working on my WIzard
Here's the keys:
(thanks to madcapmagician)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
Dont forget to powercycle, and then gp to Start>Settings>today and put a check in Wireless
:lol:
And keep in mind that you'll need the new AKU2 ROM. So for those holding off on that for whatever reason - sorry, no gig for you (there's other solutions, of course, like DKToday)

Dude, your Today looks like SO COOL!
What apps do you use?
thats a screen shot from XDA atom... if you want that look, click on the link in the post to download o2 plus vserion 2.0 (cracked)...
yeah.. O2 know their customization stuffs when it comes to the PPC line Blows T-Mobile out of the water (even if T-Mobile does get their cute little T-Mobile Hotspots label instead of the Internet Explorer label on the top-right key).
Shame we have no O2 in NL anymore :\
Their TV adverts were always gorgeous as well
Hi,
Sorry for bring this subject up again.
If I am not wrong, I am read sometimes ago about today screen plugin to display GSM operator name.
Does it display just simple operator name like "Singtel g9" for Singtel gsm900, or does it display complete or more information about the station (maybe "Singtel g9 - Paya Lebar")?
Anyone can clarify this?
Thanks!
Regards,
Arto.
I've tried several plug-ins - phoneAlarm, Phone Dashboard, and Phone Today. I used all three to display operator's name only.
However, phoneAlarm has a feature that looks like the one you are asking for - Location. Not sure what it is and cannot test it with my current skin. But, I guess, it would woth for you to have a dipper look to it.
Cheers!
Thanks Amed for the reply,
They all are looks heavy, I prefer the simple one (and freeware if possible).
Thanks again for the info.
Regards,
Arto.
me too i need such tool pls
thx

Well it's definitly there in the German ROM.
Can't make screen shots right now.
First you can see the homezone display as a today plugin which enables itself when you are in the homezone.
And there is a little icon on the upper right side of the dialer screen if you are in your homezone.
Homezones are based on BTAs?
forum.xda-developers.com
There is only one Homezone (but 3 would be cool) with o2 Germany and city zone is still existant in old plans like mine.
But city zone doesn't get displayed but it doesn't get displayed in other UMTS phones either. I'll get a small voice notification when I start a call now.
My cellular phone can show name of city i'm actually in. Is this similair to homezone?

as I see it will not be free...
ReTweet this post
it's good news
will it work on MDA2
will it show messages from any channel?
My operator send me broadcast after talk with account balance, would be nice to have it on today too...
My old cellular phone Ericcson R600 is ale to display name of the City I'm actually in.
I would like to have the same on today screen in my MDA2.
Is it possible? Is there today plugin which can do that?
That is not possible. The 'City name' is a Cell Broadcast (CB) message sent on CB Chanell 50 - Windows Mobile can receive CB messages, but there is no special handling of specific CB messages.
is it hardware specific (radio ROM) or OS (WM5 ROM)?
It is not impossible, but such plugin is not known (till now).
It's possible to receive broadcasts (like SMS), don't disturb phone user and store information anywhere.
It is possible to retrive stored information and display on the today screen, too.
I was thinking about this plugin, but time... May be in january ...
actually, pocketmax's phonealarm plays around with "Location-based information (change profile dependent on current location!)" which I think is similar to what you are looking for: it picks up the CellID signal, but not sure what it translates into. The idea is that when you're at "work" it'll pick up on that cell tower and switch to that profile, but I don't think it gives you the "city name".
It's also an experimental addon that doesn't work on every service.
I don't need profile switching. What I need is ability to show on Today Broadcast messages from specific channels
This is possible but the app would have some problems on newer devices as the BCM messages are ignored if the header is similar (for power consumption reasons) so if you would stop the app and restart it but not switch cells you would get no CBM to retrieve info from...
But for XDA2/2i/3 it would work np.
so it's possible but no app? is it possible to write it such plugin in .Net? I don't know C++ well..

It works on smartphones only.
there is a plugin called dktoday (its free!) that has this option...
does anyone know the cell broadcast chanell for t-mobile uk?
i have dktoday 1.80 and I don't see such option.
well this blog from msdn says it works...have you added the channel to be able to receive the info from your provider?
http://blogs.msdn.com/frankarr/archive/2006/04/05/568809.aspx
yes, i did it
dktoday seems to really slow down my 8125/wizard. anyone else see the same?
yeah, a little, and the battery meter is all over the place!
Worked on My Mini S

Yeah I did read the thread. But dktoday is supposed to slow down the system. Was wondering if there is something else...
I'm using dktoday with Charmer. I have been using that since. I got the unit and it is not slowing down my phone. Charmer and Wizard is relatively the same hardware other than the WiFi and such.
Anywya, dktoday has the option of displaying lines that you need, e.g., it has 3 lines of information, you can have the choice of which line to be displayed. Try that, may speed things up for you.
UPDATE: Ok, I take my words back. dkToday DOES slow your unit down (e.g. the Today screen). Ever since I read this post, I'm trying to 'sense' the effect of dkToday. I had PocketBreeze installed and the 'slow' item on my Today screen is the PBreeze, which I presume it is because it is a heavy item. However, to my surprise, the dkToday seems to be the one causing the PBreeze (probably not just Pb, but all Today plugins). Since I had this program from the first day I had my unit, it doesn't occur to me that it is this that causes the unit to slow down (as many had complain about the slowness of OMAP processor).
Update: Seems to be fixed now!
I'm hoping someone has come across this before and can offer some advice...
I was looking for a today plugin similar to the Wireless one but that allowed you to toggle your radio devices directly from the Today screen.
I couldn't find one so I pestered a friend (Delphi programmer) at work to write one which he did (in C++). The problem is that the plugin occasionally disappears from the Today screen.
This usually happens when the today screen is changed in any way (reordered or something else added or removed etc.) Our plugin will show up again if you remove and add it but I'm sure this is a simple problem of something we've overlooked?
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
I never wrote a today plugin but I belive he forgot to include some "on refresh" or "on paint" function.
This may help: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms839442.aspx
and this http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb278109.aspx
Thanks LGSilva.. That second link looks like it might have some answers
That looks like a good plug in, please do share if you do fix it. Please.
Anyone like to test it ?
It seems the height of the window wasn't being updated properly.
I want to add a few options like icons/text display to it and it needs an installer of some kind but it would be good to see if it works ok for other people (we've only tested it on a Dopod 810 and an iPaq)
You'll need to update your registry manually for now...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Eff Comm"]
"DLL"="\Windows\EffComm.DLL"
"Type"=dword:4
"Enabled"=dword:1
"Options"=dword:0
