any one here have the Claro extended Rom for Arthemis (P3301)?
I had a problem with my phone, and sent it to HTC support (the worst service I have ever seen), and the cell phone came back with another operator's main board.
What is the problem?
I do not have the correct data configurations for Claro network. And I'm missing the ability to access the EDGE network from my phone.
APN: claro.com.br
user: claro

Can anyone advise whether the O2 XDA 2 Mini triband GSM / GPRS system is compatible with Solomon Islands Telekom locallly provided telephone system.
Previously I have used an old Telstra Nolkia phone (fairly basic model but cannot recall exactly which) with local prepaid sim card replacing Aust SIM. Will I have to continue this way or will I be able internationally roam with my same number??.
Have had my wizard for a couple of weeks now, when I bought it, it had the O2 software running on it, its branded externally as an O2. I upgraded the ROM last night but i have noticed that the phone (as before) still thinks it is using the T-mobile network e.g. when i tap on the signal strength indicator or a message comes through, it indicates the t-mobile network. I can receive and make calls as well as text messages and voicemail on the virgin network no problem. After doing the rom update last night i indicated that i was on the Virgin network when prompted when the device was initialising.
So how do i get rid of the fact that my wizard thinks its using the t-mobile network when its actually using the Virgin network. The phone is branded externally as O2? How on earth did this t-mobile identity survive the ROM update. Note i applied the I-mate ROM.
During the ROM update i left the sd card containing the previous ROM image (O2), a backup in case things went wrong, in the device. I noticed that a little after i ran the imate rom update from my host pc a message appeared on my imate mentioning something about the fact that there was an SD card containing a rom image and if i wanted to use this. It was very late and by the time it registed with me what i was looking at the message timed out and the rom update continued. Could this explain the reocurrence of the t-mobile wording. When i reset the device the imate splash is what i see.
Currently:
ROM version 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date 2/6/06 (6/2/06 here in the UK)
Radio version 02.07.10
Protocol version 413.1.03
ExtROM version 2.16.9.101
Thanks for any help

Virgin is a virtual mobile operator and uses T-mobile's network. Its common for T-Mobile to show up as the carrier on many mobile phones.
Roaming indication after upgrade
Hi have the same problem.
I have a T-mobile (US) phone; I upgraded the ROM (Qtek test ROM) and since then, the phone shows that I am roaming into Cingular network.
In my area (San Francisco) - Cingular is the actual network operator; T-mobile uses Cingular's infrastructure as part of a deal made long time ago.
So, the ROM is correct but I wish there was a way to disable the ugly triangle (showing that I'm roaming) or alternatively - let the phone know that I'm parked in a "home-network".
Ah thank you for clearing that up. By the way is it true that virgin has been bought by NTL, someone mentioned this today. Not sure who is worse NTL or Virgin UK.
Do you know where i can get the settings for MMS and GPRS, have not checked if they have been set up properly.
Many Thanks
Fergus

it's true...
The operator logo in the dialer does not automatically change when you switch networks / sim cards.
It depends on the image file 'carrierlogo.gif' in the Windows folder.
I have an unlocked T-Mobile MDA Vario with an Orange sim card - this showed as T-Mobile until I updated the carrierlogo.gif file!
If you want to view the network you are currently connected to, go to Start | Settings | Phone | Network.

Have you tried another QTek ROM? Otherwise, it's a possible SIM-related issue. The SIM hasn't received an OTA (Over the Air) update telling it that it is connected to T-Mobile's local switch. Furthermore, you shouldn't be on the shared network anymore since the old GSM 1900 shared network was sold to T-Mobile in CA and NV as part of the Cingular/AT&T merger. I would think that T-Mobile has updated that GSM 1900-only network to broadcast only their MNC (Network Code) so any T-Mobile SIMs registered on the network know that it is a native network.

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 :'(

Deedend can u post here all the setting for h3g i can't receive MMS
Deedend ciao mi puoi postare i settaggi anche io ho tre ma non riesco a ricevere MMS solo invio.
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!

Hi,
I'm using HTC 7 Trophy in Slovakia. I tried Orange and T-Mobile SIM and both works fine, but I get wrong carrier name:
Orange is shown as T-Mobile CZ,
T-Mobile is shown as Eurotel - CZ,
as long as I search networks I see O2 as "23106"
Is there any way to fix this? The phone was bought in Austria A1 Shop.
Thanks for answers.
same here in germany. my carrier said that microsoft currently did not open the way for carriers to send konfiguration data through sms/mms to change settings.
thats way windows phone 7 devices chooses the carrier its "having" in their list ...
hmmm, hope that this "bug" has nothing to do with roaming charges, interconnection payments etc.

It's just the name of the mobile network. There is a tiny database on your phone('s radio ROM, I presume) looking up the correct name for your network based on the network ID(23106). Flashing your phone to (a more) recent version should resolve this (in the future) since it updates this database on your phone.
Check out http://numberportabilitylookup.com/networks to retreive a (complete) list of networks.
I have locale to Czech (on HTC 7 Trophy) and carrier is "Vodafone CZyyyy", where is the problem and why? Fix it an update? In English locale is OK, "Vodafone CZ"...
same problem here. Vodafone CZyyyy. #facepalm
