Cell info display on Today screen?

Hi,
I've enabled Cell Broadcast on my O2 XDA II mini (Magician) by selecting Start -> Settings -> Phone -> More -> Enable broadcasts -> Add -> Channel 50.
The messaging notifications are annoying, and I was wondering if there were any programs/scripts/XML files that can turn them in to a Today screen plugin? There is a simple way to do it with MS Smartphones (another PDA/phone running Windows Pocket PC) and know that it is possible, but can't program it myself!
Any ideas?

Hi !
Have a look >> there << (DKToday)

Merci beaucoup DocteurN
However, DKToday only displays the network you connect to, not the Cell Broadcast. This is basically the name of the radio tower for your mobile network that is closest to you.
Any ideas?

i am also very interested in this since vodafone germany shows the local area codes you get a cheaper call rate in it this way. any suggestion is welcome!
cheers, lutz

Me too! I miss this feature which was on my Nokia.

Internet Over Bluetooth Network

Hi,
I have wrote this wiki document and I wish someone gets his device connected to the "rest of the world" over a bluetooth connection.

PS: Nice fiddling around..

Hi from a newbie. I've just bought the TyTn11 and would like to use bluetooth to access my laptop's internet connection. Part 1 of your instructions were easy enough to follow but part 2 confused the hell out of me - not least because I don't have a Network Cards icon from Start > Settings > Conections >. The TyTn is running WM6 if that's any help. Any pointers would be greatfully accepted

it's
Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select network
pick the item in the dropdownbox which is not called something like my isp or such
usualy the 2th item

Thanks Rudegar, I'll give it a try.

Hi,
I'm trying to get Internet over bluetooth working on my TyTN with WM6.
I've got bluetooth network access point configured on my Linux PC so part 1 is done.
In part 2 I've successfuly configured IP and DNS for Bluetooth PAN driver but I can't find the option "Join a personal network" in my bluetooth settings.
Actually I'm stuck in part 2 point 6 as there is no <u>Bluetooth Manager</u> link under bluetooth settings.
Any advice?

thankx mate for info but i have htc p3300 Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select networkit show only ( 1 my work network)(2 my ISP)which i should connect????

Hi,
I can't find out how to access this on a HTC Touch (Elf). Can someone please help?
Thanks

SubZero,
I not sure if you're instructions are correct.
From you wiki page-
Part 2: Setting Up Your HTC:
1. Go to Start > Settings > Conections > Network Cards. This option doesn't exist!
2. Tap the adapter named Bletooth PAN User Driver. You will now see IP Address tab selected in the Settings.
3. Select Use server-assigned IP Address.
Could someone who has done it on thier HTC diamond please check this?
Thank You

htc tytn network not supported

I recently bought a tytn from germany, I installed the dopod english rom so that it was in eglish. however when I go to the network wizard my network is not there (vodafone uk), it also gives me messages saying that my network is not supported, contact the manufacturer for an upgrade.
will this stop me from accessing 3G and GPSM network, is there any way to solve this problem, because when I go to the dopod website it seems to be of little help

BUMp

it just doent have your operator settings for GPRS 3G and MMS in its cab file. You should be able to find these settings here by searching or by contacting your mobile operator.

How can I show the Cell ID/Name on Today screen

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!

Please please help
Thanks

The tmobile settings can be found by searching the forums - they are in a few places.
Which ROM did you use - most now include the Network Wizard which will run automatically after upgrade. If not it is at Start\Settings\Connections. That will insert the correct settings for you.

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
ROM Version - 2.20.405.1
ROM Date - 06/21/07
Radio Version - 1.32.00.00
ExtROM - 2.20.405.101
Yes the Network Wizard is there and it puts the settings in but to no avail.
The 3G logo comes up and i have 4 bars to show high signal strength but whenever i try to connect to the net it says the modem you are connecting to has dropped the connection.
Can anyone point me to the correct thread?
Thanks
Alan

One more thing I did upgrade to real vga 128dpi

in connection settings change user name from
t-mobile to user

The connections settings are correct using the Network Wizard. The problem you are having may actually be a network problem. I get this from time to time with T-mobile UK - I will get this message for a couple of hours and it will then just stop (it often stops more quickly if I am on the move which I assume is becuase I am moving cells)

How do you mean you are 'no longer receiving texts'? is this a common request to cusomer services!?
Anyway as far as I know you cannot have settings sent by text to the Ameo, or any windows mobile device - you have to input them manually or use the settings wizard.
Try going on settings/phone/band and change to GSM - see if you still fail to get a connection. If so try upgrading your radio, then reflashing.
If this fails try another t-mobile SIM in the Ameo.
Your error is not one I have ever come across on T-Mobile uk using my Ameo.

T-Mobile settings:
Start - Settings - Connection - Connection - Under my ISP click on Manage Existing Conn.
Delete all connections in there, and click on Proxy at the bottom and remove the tick on this network requires Proxy.
Create a new connection:
Cell Line (GPRS)
Access Point: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: pass
No DNS, no IP, no proxy.
Save and soft reset.
Good luck.

Thanks everyone!
Eventually got this sorted.
Works like a dream now
Reflashed, used the wizard and all is well in the world.
Is anyone having a problem with media player?
Every time I launch media player the ameo crashes (as in locks).
Thanks again
Alan

Current T-mob phones are coming out with USER as t-mobile, however, user still seems to work.
PASSWORD- pass
APN- general.t-mobile.uk
Again some units come with a Proxy pre installed (My N95 did)-
149.254.201.132
Proxy port- 8080
If this doesn't work then use without.
Also try a DNS server setting-
DNS 4.2.2.1
Alt DNS 4.2.2.2
