I noticed that when my JAM has BT on it is detected as XXX (were XXX is my owner name on my JAM's Owner Info).
While looking around in my registry I found this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Settings
under this I see 3 things.
(Default) (value not set)
LocalName XXX
ScanMode 0x0(0)
My question is this can I safely change the value of LocalName to my liking? i.e. XXX to YYY and therefore change my JAM's BT name???
You could just change the Device Id through the settings menu.
But is also safe to change the registry key
It's true that in the settings menu you can change your device ID. But that is just visible in ms active sync.
As BT device the i-mate JAM is recognized by the user information as described in the first post ! I don't know if it can be changed by a registry hack ! Are not into that ! ;o\
Regards,
R.

I have tried to mess with these to turn off Auto on feature in Active Sync, as this causes it to be permanently on, but no luck. In any event, there is some pretty useful info and I am sure someone will be able to come up with some good tweaks here?

All ActiveSync device-related subkeys and values are stored under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services registry key on the Windows CE-based device.
The following table shows the values for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services registry key.
Note The default registry values vary depending on which Catalog items are included in your OS design. For more information, see Default Registry Settings.
Value : type Description
Version : REG_DWORD Default setting is 20000. Specifies the software version number.
NoSubFolderIn : REG_SZ Default setting is "\My Documents", which is LOC_NOSUBFOLDERIN in datasync.str. Specifies the only synchronizable folder where the user is allowed to create subfolders.
FileSyncPath : REG_SZ Default setting is "\My Documents", which is LOC_FILESYNCPATH in datasync.str.
Specifies the folder to be synchronized during file synchronization.
DefaultNpwNoServer : REG_DWORD This value is not present by default. Creating this value and setting it to 1 will cause the Exchange Server sync selection in the New Partnership Wizard to be unchecked. Users can still select this option, but it will not be selected by default. Setting this value is recommended as most users will want to syncronize with their desktop rather than a server.
Synchronizable Objects Registry Settings
All synchronizable objects are stored under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows CE Services\Synchronization\Objects subkey on the target device.
The following table shows the values for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows CE Services\Synchronization\Objects subkey.

The following table lists the registry values for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm registry key.
Value : type Description
AutoCnct : DWORD Default setting is 1 (on). This value turns Autoconnect on and off.
Cnct : REG_SZ Specifies the default connection used when the device is cradled. If this value is not set, the user must select a connection to use when cradling a device.
This string must be prefixed with a backquote (`) for the connection to appear in the ActiveSync user interface.
Note Only RAS entries prefixed with a backquote will appear in the ActiveSync user interface. See Phone-Book Entries for details.

Has anyone found a way to get the carrier name in the today screen?
There is a registry hack somewhere which shows the state of the radio and the carrier name, do a search.
I found how to do it...anyone interested here are the instructions...
Customize operator's name
To show specified operator name set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=0 (DWORD decimal)
And then at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\Operator Names
add the code and the name to display. The value is 5 digits "CCCOO", where CCC is 3-digits country code, and OO is 2-digits operator's code. For example:
"25099"="BEE LINE"
For country and network code, go to wikipidea for mobile country code and network code
To show operator name based on the SIM card used (eg for cases where dual SIM adapter are used), set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=1 (DWORD decimal)
For my dual-SIM adaptor, when I switch between SIMs, the phone with default settings showed always one and the same name, until I reboot the device. Then, it was not able to retrieve operator's name from one of the SIM cards I use. Probably it is an adaptor fault. But anyway, after I changed ONSDisplayRule to 0 and set more up-to-date names for operators that I use, I now always see the name of the operator of the chosen SIM.
Change the "Message Sent" and other general notification bleep
This will change the sound of other pop-up messages as well as SMS sent bleep. The default sound is the `msgbox.wav` in the \Windows directory. To change it, go to
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default
And change to the names of other wav files in your \Windows directory without the `.wav` extension.
AKU2 ROMs tweaks
These are tweaks that have been confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs, and confirmed not to work on earlier ROMs
Show Wireless Today item
By just adding following keys to the registry will get you a nice 'wireless' today item that show Network name/status, WiFi name/status as well as Bluetooth status. Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
Temporary?
Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I did the change and it worked. I could see the carrier name on my today screen. But after I soft-reset PPC, I see the carrier number 'xxxxx' instead of the name.
Am I missing something?
Please help.
~Squid
Edit- This is strange, but the tweak seems to be working for now, even after a couple of soft-resets. Will test further and keep posted. Thanks
easy way a program call OpMon by mortscript
Batterystatus can also display carrier name
While On Roaming
Will the text change when i am on Roaming...
Or is there any plugin to show the current location(area info) that is broadcasted by the mobile towers
how can i change the name that other people see my device through bluetooth? is there a way?
bluetooth device name is stored under
HKCU\software\Microsoft\bluetooth\settings\
value name is LOCALNAME
you can edit registry with total commander...
however easier way is to change ownername under
start, settings, personal, owner information
whatever you put into NAME field, will also be used as bluetooth name.
Help my M700 displays the owner id and not the device id when connected to another bluetooth device
any idea on how to swap this so bluetooth displays device id
From a recent post on 4WM:
By default the Bluetooth name is set to the Owner name. However the Bluetooth name can be set to something else in the registry. In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Settings There is a text string "LocalName". Change this to what you want for the Bluetooth name. Soft reset the device (doesn't work without the reset). The name now shows up as the value in this setting.
Hope this helps. You will need a registry editor to make the change.
On my HTC HD2 i have wm6.5 prof installed. The problem is following:
everything was ok with my old sim card, but when i changed it to the new the double operator name was displayed on home screen and in phone menu, like MTS UKR MTS UKR (it's in Ukraine).
As i suppose the first op. name is recieved from tower and the other one is from the sim card. The main problem - is how to disable this stored sim name via win registry???
I've searched a lot of forums and references and tried a lot, but unfortunately none of that helped me.
For ex. i know about key 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ril\OperatorNames' and if create here a new string type like "25501"(this is for ukraine) with "Some Text" value you can change op name, but in my case it's will be like "Some Text MTS UKR". Second part of op. name stays unchanged.
Also at microsoft win mobile reference, i found such info like:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\CellTSP
DisableCPHSOverride ( By default, the CPHS operator name (the operator name stored in the SIM) overrides all other stored operator names when the user is registered on the Home PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) and EONS is not enabled. In that case, the CPHS name is displayed as the operator name. )
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\RIL
EONSEnabled ( When set to 1, specifies that EONS (Enhanced Operator Name String) is available.When set to 0 or not present, EONS is not used. The operator name is then set using the CPHS override, unless the override has been explicitly disabled.)
After playing with this settings nothing changed, DisableCPHSOverride didn't influenced on anything, EONSEnabled key i had no at all, but even if create it and set to 0 or 1 nothing changes too. Changing settings in folder EONS.cache ( \HKLM\Comm\Cellular\RIL\EONS .cache ) is not solving the problem because it's recreated every time phone connects to network, it's just a cache.
Actually i have no idea now how to disable this op. name stored on sim, can anyone help me, is here someone with the level of God?))
p.s. beg your pardon for may be bad english.
