Wrong Operator Name

Hi,
I am using a mini & it shows wrong spelling of the operator name i.e. GrameemPhone instead of GrameenPhone.
Would anyone be kind enough to give me a solution? I know there are lots of gurus out there ...
Cheers...

using a registry editor (ie PHM regedit) add values under:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames]
Examples of values:
"20408"="NL KPN"
"20620"="BASE"
"20810"="SFR"
The numbers before the "=" are the network identifier (google to find yours.. In the part after the "=" you can put anything you like (google a bit for that) which will be showed when youre on thaty specific network.
My gues is that a good line for you would be:
"47001"="GrameenPhone"
(470 = countrycode bangladesh, 01 =operator code within county)

Wrong Operator Name & some more queries

Using 3 (Hutchinson Three) USIM in Universal

I have unlocked my MDA Pro, and placed my contract 3 USIM into it.
It works fine, you can even make it use 2.5g and nick o2 :wink:
Only question I do have, is when using the 3 network, the network name comes up as 23420?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Hutchison 3G UK Ltd.
MCC 234 MNC 20
So its okay. That is the network identifier for 3. Looks like somebody forgot to program the name for 3 into the device

Call me picky, but is it possible to program it in?

Does no one have any ideas? :?

You can do so by making changes to your device registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames
String Value:
Name="23420" Data="OperatorName"

thankssssssssssss also for the italian 3 network!!
ciao, Danilo

I've tried to avoid the 3 network in general after I was with them for 1 week.
In 1 week, I got more problems than with any other network (excluding t-mobile) in years!
T-mobile's advice to increase call stability (not cutting out and loosing signal) was to stand still.
hmmm...
Let that be a lesson to you all. No walking and talking, people!

I got it from T-Mobile, once you have had it 1 month, call 150 and it costs £15.

Your a Star M8
BTW, does anyone know what correct name for 3 should be?
Should it just be 3, or should it be hutchison 3g? :?

do you know the settings to get the 3g web browsing working?
all i want is to be able to use internet (pie) not the 3 browser or anything, does anyone have the settings or a cab file?

it's ok i got it sorted
i found what i was looking for with a little more searching

do you have the 3 ROM ?

no 3 rom
i just got a settings cab off their website - don't have their rom. I use WM6 you see so their rom would be a downgrade

ah right, wondered what the 3 browser was.
strange, mines wm6 and it already somes up as 3

3uk settings

O2 EXEC on 3 network
ever since I started to use my o2 exec with a 3 sim, the normal use is fine, but some times even at home or outside the reception just dies and it doesnt come back on automatically. I have to activate the flight mode and then turn it off, for it to start searching for the network.
Any Ideas as to what I should do.
thanks

Problem with changing the Operator Name on upgraded 8525

I've been playing this weekend, first downgrading the ROM with 1.04 bootloader, so I could upgrade to the latest HTC x.35 ROM. Having done that and upgraded the radio to the latest version as well, I find I still have one issue.
I've combed through all the registry hacks and have flipped the right bits and entered the appropriate keys/strings and yet I can't get this phone to display anything but "ROGERS" (302720) on the today screen. I was successful changing the operator name on my HTC Herald before sending it off to a friend, but this unit will not cooperate.
Anyone have some hints on where else (obscure if necessary) I can look to make this thing display what I want?

I've never been able to do this either on the Hermes

I kinda think I'm missing the point here...but I got rid of most of my Cingular logos simply by simply downloading all the stuff in my 8525's \windows directory to my pc, and finding all the gif's, png's and jpg files that were Cingular logos. Then I loaded those graphics into photoshop and made transparent images of the same size and properties, saved them back using the original names, and reloaded them to the original locations on the 8525. Restart, and voila, no more Cingular branding.
Maybe this will work in your case?
Regards,

No actually, this has nothing to do with the files on the phone, except that the tweak to change the Operator Name given the right registry value (302720) should work, but doesn't.

OK ... never mind. But I'm confused by what you're asking. You actually have Rogers branding on your Today Screen? Where does it appear?
Maybe this is something Cingular didn't implement? (Thankfully?)
Sorry I couldn't help. (wish there was an icon for "embarrassed"),

No, not branding, it's just displaying "Rogers" on the homescreen when I'd prefer to dictate what it displays.

Cruisin1966 - Rogers name is part of SimCard, you wan't change it.
Same was here - non VoiceStream (or current T-Mobile US) cards said VoiceStream (T-Mobile US), VoiceStream (T-Mobile US) cards said VStream (T-Mobile).
It is part of SIMcard and if your's OTA operator can change name as they want.
Hope this help

No disrespect intended, but please re-read my original post. I successfully changed the name displayed on the homescreen with the HTC Herald, and my question was why can't I changed the name displayed on this 8525.

Cruisin1966 - Question: Does Rogers has 3G network so your phone could log in there?

3G isn't available anywhere but around Toronto, as far as I know. Definitely not in/near Calgary, that much I do know.

Cruisin1966 - hmmm I thought that it might be OpName over UMTS but now it might be just imposible to change SIM directive in this model. I have the same problem with Cingular or T-Mobile.
Lets wait for official aku 3.3 and then we can go back to this discussion.

Rogers mobiTv on my Cingular 8525

Hi everybody,
I have my Cingular 8525 unlocked that I m currently using with Rogers. It's all set with MMS, email, and internet
The Cingular 8525 comes also with mobiTv but if I click on the prog it proposes me the mobitv service from USA by default.
There is no way so far that I can change the url by default, the program is in the Rom of the device and the only way I guess, will be to touch the register key of my Cingular 8525 .
I know that my device is not officially supported by Rogers but i m sure that we can find the way to make it happen
If anyone have an idea, may be a app that i can download from Rogers , or to give me the right url for this service from my device, let me know
Thank you in advance for your help

Nobody ?

Well, I'm a bit puzzled. According to MobiTV site it is only available in the US.
"Cingular customers: if you prefer, you may purchase MobiTV directly from your MediaNet device menu by selecting Entertainment / More Sites / MobiTV.
Product Features
Channels you know from home like ABC News Now, CSPAN, and FOX Sports (click here for the full channel lineup)
High quality video
Graphical channel guide with programming information
Full screen viewing option
Touchscreen and 5-way navigation
Note: Service available in U.S. only. Data charges apply. We strongly recommend you have an unlimited data plan with your carrier before buying MobiTV.
Click here for Support
As it costs $9.99 / month, I'm sure they give you a programme download which would replace the one you have IF it works elsewhere.

I believe Handango or another major PPC software vendor sold these, and billed you directly. This was before but you could try.

Not allowed in Canada...

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) -- our equivalent of the US FCC -- does not allow the re-transmission of broadcast material by unlicenced carriers, so no MobiTV in Canada until the rules are changed (which I am sure will happen at some point in the future -- Canada usually follows the US' lead).

Not quite true you lot
I'm running my Softbank with ATT_MobiTv and ATT_XMRadio rom. It's only a 3 day trial but I get all the US channels A-Ok. Just don't see a way to switch to other networks/countries.
Mobitv is also available on Rogers. Mobitv is the technology used by Rogers for the streaming video applications.
You don't have to believe me just check the MobiTv website.
http://www.mobitv.com/channels/channels.php
A number of providers and channel listings there.
Now back to the original problem of changing channel lineups. Is it prgram based or a setting? Only the ATT_mobitv cab seems tobe out in the wild.

Thanks to everyboddy for your answers
For some reason i didnt recieve any notice for your replies
It seems that some guys succed to make it work
Actually pretty much all the services that Roger offer now, vison
, xm radio, mobitv etc.. seems to work on the tytn I. i havnt tried yet and i m looking for the the cab files if available?
the tytn II should come pretty soon at Rogers and i wonder if the video call will be unable and the apps for the tv , xm radio etc...\
just got the tytn I from rogers and install wm6 on it , just need to find some one who would like to help me to try the video call.. if their is any seeting to change for that ?
i got the Internet , mms working perfectly
Something else i need?
However my internet home page by defaut is from htc website , do anyone know the on for rogers and how to set it up by defaut?
thank you again

Make it simple: try to find a ROGERS ROM version of your Hermes and reflash it!

tried for weeks no chance, just took the official rom from htc and find the cab on this forum from rogers..
i keep looking , but thanks

[REQ] Blackberry Cab for SetModelID etc

I am a ROM junkie, but while I can automate setup on most things for a new ROM, the whole BB issue is a PITA. My request is someone writes a cab (OR explain to me how and I will do it!) that does the following:
Installs SetModelID.exe into windows
registry change:
HKLM\init: Create a new string: Launch130 with value: SetModelID.exe
registry change:
HKLM\system\versions\aku - change to .1.6.3
registry change:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts\
Create 310260 with GPRS and UMTS to 3 [NOTE: THATS ONLY FOR T-MOB USA, NEEDS SPECIFIC FOR OTHER OPERATORS]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
set the Contexts value to 3
Delete the NetworkContexts entry

hi can you explain why this changes?
i recive in late (30 min.) many mails and sometime i don't recive some others
depends from this 2 registrys keys?
registry change:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContex ts\
Create 310260 with GPRS and UMTS to 3 [NOTE: THATS ONLY FOR T-MOB USA, NEEDS SPECIFIC FOR OTHER OPERATORS]
where i can find world operetor list?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
set the Contexts value to 3
Delete the NetworkContexts entry
Thank u very much

i am certainly no expert, but these changes allow BB to run at the same time as other data sucking apps (otherwise it goes to Radio Blocked). The last changes do this.
Look up on wiki for your operator info. read the other BB threads too.

if you can upload the .exe file i can make the cab for ya

thats great.
To make this generally useful, can you add a query for users to enter in their relevant cellular provider key (mine for TMOB US is 310260), or make it automatic (which I would have no idea how to do).
Order should be:
Install setmodelid.exe into /windows (attached)
scripts as above

not sure how to do all that, but here is the cab of the info that you gave me!!

thanks for that. i will test it ou!!
