Hi,
there is a problem, my operator (Fido) activated service Name Display that is identical for the same service for land line phones - show caller's name is addition to the caller id. Unfortunately my i-mape PocketPC 2003 SE does not show name of the caller. Is there a way to use this feature? May be some new firmware (WM5) solves it?
did you get an anwser to your question?
I have a Qtek S200 with a Dopod ROM... name display does not seem to work...
I know I have it on my account because it works fine on my Motorola V3...
Maybe there is a way to enable it with an other rom or a reg hack...

Since i updated to the new Qtek 2.17.7.2 WWE ROM my Wizard seems to be convinced that i'm connected to Proximus BE network instead of T-Mobile NL network. Now i'm quite sure my Wizard hasn't got enough power to reach Belgium from where i live so i must be connected to the T-Mobile network. Also when i search for networks from the phone settings i also get to see the T-Mobile network instead of Proximus.
Does anybody know what the problem could be and where i can change the name of the network?
Besides that little but annoying problem the ROM seems a huge improvement.
Thanks,
Chris
There is a registry key that allows you to show any text in the dialer based on the network id's.
Use a registry editor to search for the text you see (literally).
Simply remove the key and the dialer should show the text that is sent over the network.
If you cant find the text in registry . . . .no clue
(I once posted a reply on a thread in the Himalaya section on this)
I thought it interesting that the QTek rom told me I was connected to "Get More..." when every other ROM I've used all tell me I'm connected to "T-Mobile". At least they both reference the same company!
I just thought of another way you could see another network in the dialer as the network name youre really connected to.
In the \windows folder there can be a carrielogo.gif file.
If it exists (and it does on T-Mobile roms) you will never see the actual network name in the dialer but the contents of the carrierlogo.gif file (which is obviously a logo of the operator that distributed the rom).
there are threads on this to find but basically you can only do one thing here: copy the carrierlogo.gif file (using totalcommander) to you PC, erase the contents (or put in your own picture) and copy it back (ignore the rom file warning).
afaik the Qtek and iMate roms do not have a carrierlogo.gif file.
T-Mobile roms do have one, not sure about O2 or Vodafone.
I found exactly one reference to the Proximus string in the State part of the registry. After i changed it to T-Mobile all the screens showed T-Mobile, but after a reset or a reconnect to the GSM network it changes back to Proximus. Really weird because the scan network screen shows the correct name after scanning. Strange bug, but i seem to be the only one that has got it. Oh well, that's life (with software).
Signed_GPRS-stall_Wizard_TMOUS_DEC20.CAB
On mine through a process of elimination I determined that the T-Mobile customization file: Signed_GPRS-stall_Wizard_TMOUS_DEC20.CAB was causing the wrong carrier to show up.
In Windows Mobile, would anyone know how to configure "+" in phone contacts to translate to specific international direct dial access code?

That is done automatically, you don't need to configure anything.
If you have special needs (some dialling prefix etc), you can try Start->Settings->Connections->Connections->Extended->Dialling Rules (translated from a German TyTN, so the names on your device will probably be a bit different. "Extended" is simply the right tab; I have a feeling that on an English device its name may be completely different )

Thanks.
Yes I do need to dial the prefix provided by a long distance service which is cheaper than default IDD service of my mobile company.
I have tried but somehow it didn't work. I will do further research I think I may not have configured the dialling rules correctly.

I just applied this registry hack
Show Network Operator Name in today screen
Restoring Today Item: WiFi, BT and Phone Connection Status
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items]
Create "Wireless" use Key
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:00000000
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
to my imate jasjam and it works a treat. I wondering is there another hack or option to show the Cell Name/ID that the phone is currently connected to. Much like the option "Cell Info Display" on the Nokia phones.
Cheers

phoneAlarm does it.
On the Hermes, you can use the FieldTest.exe app available on the Wiki to view realtime raw statistics about the cells you're connected to and the various aspects of your connection, but as far as I know there's no tool to show the cell ID and the stuff the Nokia would show.
That didn't always work for me though on the Nokias I had... Depended on which phone I did it on, very odd.
Hello and happy new year to everybody,
a newbie question: I did the indicated trick and I display not only my carrier name, but also Wifi and BT status, plus my owner info.
I would like to display the carrier name only. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Richard

I think many people on XDA have been searching for a solution... and I think its been out there for quite a while!
You need to download this today screen plugin - it is able to show Cell Broadcast messages on the today screen, besides other nifty stuff. Best of all, its FREE!
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_def_iM_cs.htm
Next, you also need to subscribe to the Cell Broadcast feature. It is located in your phone settings, under the "More" Tab. Enable Cell Broadcast, and add Channel 50 to the list of subscribed channels.
Channel 50 is the one that shows you the cell/area name (only on networks that support it) - the same ones you see on non-smartphone Nokia or Ericsson handsets.
I'm going to try it out myself now...
EDIT: It works! Brilliant!
Yes atlast something to cheer about
I was looking for this for long time, Have installed the extended version, I think its still not perfect when it comes to display area info. its better then commMgr by the way.
Cell info in 3G
Can anyone explain why I rarely see the cell info when the phone has 3G connectivity. If I turn off 3G, I get the cell info messages!
On my wife's Nokia, the cell info comes up in 3G or 2G coverage!

I can't find the "More" Tab on my WM6 LG-KS20.
Is there a way to configure my Qtek S200 so it can show the Operator Name?
I tried 3 differents methods... (batteryplugin, Reghack to show "wireless" information on today screen and O2 dll+reg hack)... it does not work... Operator Name is Always blank...
If I go into Phone setting, network tab... "current network" is blank...
So it seems that my phone is not able to read the network Name.
I have the latest Qtek rom (2.20...)
I tried with an older radio rom... always the same problem...
Is there a registry hack (or something like that) to show the network operator name?
I will respond to my own message...
The operator name is blank when I disable the Roaming Icon... if it's enabled, I see the operator name...
So is there a way to have the operator name without the roaming icon?!?
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
