I have a Ghost dual sim carrier so that I can run both my Vodaphone and O2 sims switching between them as and when I want ... but without clicking flight on/off I don't know which one I'm on!!! I would love to change the wallpaper automatically to indicate which provider I'm using (same pic but with a Vodafone or O2 logo) ... or failing that, is it possible to change the network provider logo at the top??? mine says O2 continuously
All ideas gratefully received..
Thanks,
Mark
My Qtek s200 phone shows
Is there a registry setting which can be modified to allow the phone to display:
1) Operator name as read from the phone (I guess it uses a lookup table and matches the name against a code sent from the cellsite)
instead of
2) Operator name stored in sim card.
I am in Canada and using a FIDO sim. My phone however displays ROGERS (Currently the Fido parent company) and also the Roaming icon.
My spouses Treo 650 also using a FIDO sim displays FIDO instead of ROGERS and also Roaming.
So my phone indicates the network name as well as the fact that my SIM is roaming on that network.
My spouses phone indicates her SIM card provider and the fact that her phone is now Roaming.
In summary I would like to know if a registry setting exists to enable either of these behaviours.
Hello!
I'm really annoyed that I can't get my unlocked 8125 to display the network name off the network; right now it is forcing all the network names to show up as Cingular i.e. retrieving APN name off SIM instead of off the network. On my old MPx220 back in the day, I had it setup to retrieve the network name instead of the SIM name by using an unlocked ROM and forcing a PIN on the SIM to come up upon bootup. However this trick isn't working on the Wizard. Does anybody know the registry key to modify it so it retrieves it off the network? This happens with all the Cingular SIMS I've tried, as well as all the ROMS I've tried "including Qtec and IMate stock roms". Thanks!
Bump - anybody got any ideas on this?
I bought an unlocked G1 off eBay to do some developing with. Very cool phone, lots of potential. I am in the UK and the phone is a UK model, not a US one. It works perfectly well on Vodafone, all the data is working and calls and so on.
I noticed however that the Network name isn't shown in the usual places... which is strange, because the US unlocked ones we've all seen on YouTube etc show "AT&T" instead of "Tmobile". On this phone it just shows as a blank.
So my question is... does anybody know why this is? Is there a file that links the MMC/MNC codes to the Names?
When you insert your sim card and set the APN settings the top line of the APN settings in the carrier name. Put your carriers name there and it should show on the phone after restart.
I already have this... which is why it is so odd.
Fields for my APN are as follows:
Name: vodafone UK
APN: internet
Username: web
Password: ***
MCC: 234
MNC: 15
The rest are all "<Not set>"
Anything else needed? The internet works perfectly on the device, so nothing else is required for functionality.
he's wrong. changing the APN name does not change the name on the unlocked screen. that name has something to do with how the tower broadcasts its name
I have an unloked G1 too, with a H3G ITA SIM and when I am on the H3G network does not appear the network name; instead, when I am in roaming (in my case, TIM) it correctly appears the network name. From this consideration I have supposed that when I am on the SIM native network the operator name will not be displayed, but when I am in roaming (national or international) it will appears. It's correct?
I havent tried roaming yet - but im guessing so...
If only we could get a non-tmo build on this thing then it could ALL be rectified. Roll on Root for OTA RC30 :'(

I wanted to update you all on the state of this issue.
I was unfortunate enough to roam the otherday and the carrier name popped up on my G1. So something is awry!
I also checked the "getprop" result and saw the following value "gsm.sim.operator.alpha" was "". So im guessing the G1 doesnt like my SIM card or something.
I am going to check the code for android to see how this property is populated.
Update:
I have recently bought an ADP1 model and flashed JF 1.41 RC8 onto it. I still see this issue... so its not model specific.
HOWEVER, when flashing the JF 1.41 ADP1.1 image - the network name is correctly shown!!!
SO - JesusFreak! How can I build a UK specific (dialer screen format etc) ADP1.1 image? Is this possible? Would you be willing to help maybe?
Thanks!

hello i bought one galaxy note 3 (my second one)
i'm having one issue,the first one i bought and i ended up selling had a Bad esn but let me to conect to other networks
such as telcel on mexico,movistar,iusacell and other ones
i bought another one but i don't know why i can't use it on other networks
i tried with the service mode codes but i can't enter to something like the UMTS option on the s4 to turn off the perso sha 256
also i tried installing again the firmware with odin and it continues without signal
when it starts it shows some "sim icon" notification on the status bar and says "phone activation" the sim card is from an unknow source
it 's didn't surprise since i know the verizon phones come GSM unlocked.
maybe if someone knows other form to flash the firmware could help.
i read about some galaxy devices loosing the imei after one update ,if i dial *#06# it shows my device .
if i go to settings and mobile networks and try to select the network(telcel) i won't let me register on the network.
i hope everyone have a nice day and maybe someone could help me.
