Installing other carrier/provider setting.

I have questions regarding this issue. I have Dutch T-Mobile MDA Compact (locked) and I soon to go back to my home country. I will not be able to use T-Mobile there, so I have to unlock it.
Unlocking is not an issue here because I can pay someone to do it (imei-check) or ask T-Mobile to provide unlock (hope they will!).
In my home country, I will register for a new carrier/provider (I still dont know which one).
I read in this forum that I need a .CAB file of the provider to be installed to get the phone setting (GPRS, mms, sms, etc.).
(1) Is that right?
(2) How to install that .CAB?
(3) If I install Provider1.CAB and then I switched back to Provider2.CAB, can I go back to Provider1 again?
Many thanks in advance to clear up this questions for me.
Regards,
gogol

Please, anyone can answer my questions ?

(1) Is that right?

(3) If I install Provider1.CAB and then I switched back to Provider2.CAB, can I go back to Provider1 again?

1. you can install the cab or do the settings manually that's up to you but using the cab file is much more easier.......
2. put the cab in your Magician and click on it......
3. the cab file is an installtion file meaning you will only use it once to install the settings...... to switch between them you can set it to auto pick the provider or maually choose ur provider from the connection settings.....
hope that helps

Thanks PapaDocta,
How to setup manually ? I have Dutch T-Mobile MDA Compact and I cant find any way to setup the GPRS. Could you please inform me which program or icon to do this ?
Thanks,

Secure Pocket Phone project

Hi,
I send my first W2003SE application.
This is a free application (it's a beta version written in c#, and requires .NET CF) and is capable to detect a change in the phone owner identity via the next comprobations:
- The user can be configure a list of preferred SIM Cards
If the inserted SIM card is not any of the owner preferred sims the application send's a sms to a configured phone (including a configured text and the SIM identifier of the inserted card)
[Obviously, the application sends the message without prompt for user msessage send confirmation and not stores the sms at the outlook tray's]
[obviously, if the new user inserted sim is a prepay sim and the credit was 0, none sms is sended]
Additionally, the application show's (if configured) a balloon notification.
- The application test (if configured) the value of the Owner identity and if changed sends a sms and / or shows a notification...
Please, test and send me your comments...
regards

Also tested it for WM05?

Hi, sounds similar to another program on this forum. What happens if the user performs a hard reset? In any event I will give it a go soon.

hello,
1) i have showed 2 threads in this forum about this problem.
one works with owner data but no with sim data, and another works with the sim, but the user is obly to store a special number at the sim ownered numbers list (i don't have tested any).
this application works with owner user data and stores the valid sim identifiers in a configuration file.
2) in my opinion, the correct usage is:
a) install the application
b) c9nfigure settings
c) copy the application and the configuration file at the rom
in this case, a hard reset is not a problem, ok ?

Seems to be working on my xda2i - no slow down of unit and no lock-ups tho only second day of use.
Thank you Bartito

Sorry but doesn't work on my MDA Vario.
First I had to install OpenNet Cab and after that I got an error that it couldn't load some NotifyIcon.
I was in a hurry so I didn't check that good, I already uninstalled the program but I will sure will try a new update, the idea is real good

Bartitio, could you please clarify what is required in point (c)? Where exactly do I copy the files too? I also have a Magician. Thanks Paul

Sorry, but this doesn't work on my MDA Vario with latest Qtek Rom and OpenNET CF installed.
But maybe my problem is that I use WM5 and not WM2003

That's too bad....for now!
I will stay and follow this topic, would love to see this work on my Wizard.
By the way, does it stay freeware, or are you planning something like a license key, or maybe something like a free donation?

Format Modifies Screen Telephonic Keyboard (qtek S200)

Hola to all:
I need help. I have installed in my Qtek S200 the program SKINVODAFONE .
It has changed the format of screen of the telephone (menu to mark when we realize a call) and it has put it that of Vodafone.
I would like to change again the format of this screen to which it had in a principle, the standard format .
Thank you very much for your help and HAPPY YEAR!!!.

Try going to Start->Settings->System->Remove programs and uninstalling the program.
If that doesn't work you may need a hard reset, but then you will loose all you data.

Thanks levenum , but it already had tried it.
To do a hard-reset is the only thing that happens to me also, but what he would need to avoid the hard-reset is the program that installs the original screen or standard of the Qtek frees.

Certainly , I am not the only one interested in changing this screen to Qtek's original screen, in the Spanish forum also he has been interested.

One more thought:
There should be a Qtek extended ROM on the FTP. One of the cabs there should have the dialer installation.

On the FTP... excuse but that it is the FTP?
That you want to say, that should install the standard EXT-ROM? But then would it lose all the information and installed tricks, not?

FTP - File transfer protocol. Mainly describes the server on which XDA holds different version of ROM for HTC/QTEK devices.
And yes, you should install the standard EXT ROM. You need to do a full back up and then restore your data not to loose existing data. Your device will be wiped!!
I would strongly suggest to think twice before installing a new ROM if you are a novice.
Just my .02cts

Hold on just a minute.
No need for drastic measures yet.
This is the link to the FTP: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com
You can access it with IE or any other FTP capable browser or client.
User name: xda
Password: xda
You do not need to reinstall all of the ext ROM or format your device. All you need is to look for the cab file that installs the Qtek dialer (I assume Qtek ROMs do not use standard Win Mobile dialer, the ugly blue thing).
Copy this cab to your device and run it like a regular program installation.

But I need a bit more... I cannot accede to the link that you indicate me, it says to me that Windows does not have access to this folder, say me please since I can accede to locate the cab?
Thank you very much again.

You need to type it like this ftp://xda:[email protected] or select 'Log in as...' from the file menu.
You should really do a Google search and read up on how to use ftp.
I had quick look and there don't seem to be cabs in the prophet section, but look around, a cab from another devices, like wizard (don't remember it's Qtek name) should do, since this is just a dialer.

As far as i know the qteks use the ugly blue dialer (standard microsoft item + smartdialer)
Juan what exactly is wrong with your dialer - a screen shot would be helpful.
btw no need for caps in your title - it appears like your shouting

Hmm, well there is always ZenPhone, they have some nice skins...
(Unless you feel like doing hard reset, as that is a definite cure).

Hi levenum - i think the vodaphone dialer has messed up the layout of his dialer - your tip it may work
also see here http://zombienexus.net/
btw levenum still using lvmtime on my new orbit with aku 3.0 - i found the clock on the top bar was in the wrong place - so using yours - cheers!

That's what I figured from the posts too, so i guessed installing any 3rd party dialer should work.
Perhaps then if he uninstalled it the phone would default back to the 'ugly blue'

Here are my collection of USA settings for TMobile and Cingular. Let me know which CAB file works for you.

Thanks for the help, I really am new to this, so, my next question is, how do I implement these files, and where on my device for them to work. I hate to sound ignorant, but I am really new to this stuff.

Copy the files you need to your SD Card. Use "File Explorer" to run and install the CAB files to your device. Good luck.

I tried it, it shows the set up file as a xml file, basically it opens up as a script on IE, I must be doing something wrong.

ROM vs Extended ROM

Hi,
What's the difference between ROM and Extended ROM on Athena device?
How to look at their content?
Thanks.

ROM is the main operating system, extended rom is hidden but download total comander and type in '/Extended_ROM' to access there you will find all the programs installed by default and as such you can delete the ones you dont need like blackberry tmob settings of home pages on internet explorer and add your own so when you do need a hard reset it will install all your fave progs

Something turned up, or to be exact: Nothing turned up. It seems that Total Commander thinks it is a network adress...

Does the Extended ROM need to be unlocked like the Unverisal?
I just did a hard reset and now Opera doesn't work (same problem as thread ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307645&highlight=Opera+launch). It sounds like the program CAB is in the Extended ROM, but I am unable to see it either. With my universal the Extened Rom had to be unlocked. I'm not sure is that the same with my HTC X7500. Anyone know?
Thanks.

I think the correct input is "\extended_rom" (without the quote). It should work.
Ollisshop, you should be able to go the entended rom and reinstall opera. First, the generic opera, then the customized opera cab.

I have just downloaded Beta 2.5 - is this the latest? I can't delete anything from extended rom - does it need unlocking, if so, how?
Thanks
PS - appologies for noob questions, I am learning!

Thank you !!!
Wow it worked. This took me hours on my Universal to figure out. You guys are great.
Now with all this extra time, I'm also going to install NetFront and compare it to Opera.
