Hope this helps.

cell profiler v2 can do the job ( and much,much more )
this is what it displays on the todayscreen:
CP o2 - de: times square
cell: 21184 lac: 4221 last: office
it will be released this month, so stay tuned. our beta testers are currently doing the QA for CP V2. if you are looking for news and updates on this you can check www.cell-profiler.de from time to time, because as soon as our website is up, the product will be available..
cp v2 is a total rewrite of cp v1, with a new user interface, lots of new profile possibilities ( like automatically disabling bluetooth once you arrive at home - but thats only one of the many options ), easier handling of the profiles/cells, possibility to load a bitmap file as map to pin down the cell areas, a today plugin, the quick profiles and lots lots more.
edit: oh yeah, cell broadcast messages are only available in a few gsm networks plus normally they dont display the actuall cell id, but the area code of the current city.

try SIM Status Switcher from www.wivit.com
I am beta testing it and its superb.
It not only shows operator and roaming indicator, but also the active phone number (which will allways identify the active SIM when using dual sim adapter like I do)
Besides that, it allows you to switch SIMs (when you have a dual sim adapter)

me too i'm a beta tester of sim status switcher, it's a great apps!

I registered on their website, but there is no place to download it.
Do you know where I can get the SIM Switcher ?
Thanks

Yeah, I'm also looking to download... signed up buy can't find a link.

How to get area info?

In sony ericson cell phones, there is option in messages settings that you can set it to get Area Info. After that you will see some information about your cell location in first screen.
is there any program/tool for getting area info on wm5?

Such app ewisted also on Nokia
Yes, that would be good to have such app on HTC. I remember to have used an app on my Nokia (7650) that allowed to automatically change my phone profile depending on the area it received from the operator antenna.
Any info on that ?

yes you can...
- go to settings > cell broadcast
- check the 'Enable' and 'Receive Channel List'
- tap 'Add' or 'New'
- give any name (e.g: location), and enter the channel number '050'
- DONE. you will receive a message from network everytime the phone enters new area.
credits to someone in this forum (i forgot) who gives this tips.
Thanks.

Or you could install Google maps. (Visit www.google.co.uk/gmm on your mobile web browser)
It has a location function based on cell sites (no more accurate the more cells near you.. It gives you an area on the map displaying where you are (in case you've got no windows). You can then search for businesses in your area.

Another vote for Google Maps. I'm running in my 8125 and it will give you a good idea of where you're at area-wise. Plus, it's simply an excellent mapping and navigation system.
However, the way it works depends on someone with an active GPS transponder being in the same general area as you. Now, this works most of the time perfectly well, and will give you a pretty good pinpoint of where you're at (within .5km or so, is what I've found). That said, sometimes late at night when not many people are out and about, or when I go over to my girlfriend's house, who lives in a sparsly-inhabited part of town, it won't always come up with a fix.
Still, by far my favorite application on my phone.

cell channels only available in selected models
you can add a third party application but it will be dependent on your radio rom!
google maps support this but you will have to pay for it because its over GPRS or EDGE.

National roaming

Hello fellow tweakers,
I recently changed from provider. My current provider (tringg.nl) is using the network of an other provider (kpn.nl) in our country. This is called, what i know, national roaming.
The problem is that my HTC HD2 cannot see the difference between national and international roaming. Therefore I cannot forbid my phone to connect to foreign country providers. And I keep seeing that ugly roaming icon in the taskbar.
Does somebody have the same issue?
Or does someone have a solution to this?
Is there some way to change/overwrite the home network provider?
Thanks,
mrG1985
HTC HD2 (LEO)
With latest ChuckyROM WM6.5.x (WWE)

I hear people say that the iphone does not see this as roaming.
So how can we make this work on Windows Mobile aswell?
Anybody?

What you should do is download an app called 'dial up enabler/disabler gprs' (search for it on this site). Each time you go abroad you will have to manually turn off your data connection, but it works for me.
In the apps like Twitter, Weather, etc. you can check allow to download when roaming.

Dio, thanks for your reply.
I am aware of this app but i would like to fix the root cause.
There must be a way to modify the home network.
For the time being i will have to set every thing to roaming allowed.

[Q] URL access denied due to local filter list configuration

I have an HD2 (australian -Telstra NextG) 1.72.841.0 WWE Rom.
Works fine with the Telstra Sim and Data access is fine.
I'm setting up with an alternate sim - "Roaming Sim" (Sim with UK based number and data) so I can ease the roaming costs when I travel outside Australia.
New Sim works fine on voice calls, but there is a block when I try to access data.
The following message is displayed ...
Message ID:
FILTER_DENIED
Problem Description
Your system was configured to deny access to this URL.
Possible Problem Cause
Request denied, as specified in the local filter list configuration.
Possible Solution
Contact your network support team if this problem persists.
Data connection is fine with the Telstra Sim, but with the alternate sim and settings the above block stops any data access.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks

who is the sim with in the uk?

Settings -> All Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks -> Edit (if you already have the details) or New (if you don't) for the data connection for the SIM. Make sure that all the settings are correct for the new SIM (you can easily find them with a search of the internet).

The sim is marketed under the name "Roaming Sim" - for international travel - I believe it is an Irish based company, but the number is +44 prefix so a UK based number.
Their help desk was not very helpful "there is money in your account so things should work properly" and "no-one here has a HTC HD2, so we don't know what to suggest".
Thanks.

Thanks for the trail of where to change the settings - I've set the sim up as per their meager info and I've checked their web site for any info on the problem I'm having - nothing specific to assist there.
On a web search I found mention of a similar error message related to PCs and it was pointing to Proxy setting issues, but there are no Proxy Setting in Cellular Line (GPRS) setup (in setting up the APN for this sim).
I've also done a google of the exact error message in quotes and come up with no listings, hence me coming to the gurus at xda.

No I've checked that with supplier and Data is enabled with the sim.
I've contacted the Australian supplier of the sim and I'm waiting on their tech guru to phone me to try and work through the problem. I'll post if/when I get some resolution.
But don't let that stop you guys from having a go - so far the sim supplier's technical assistance has been very pleasant, but less than actually helpful at resolving the problem.

ok made sure you got the correct internet settings in the phone?

Thanks for the assistance - I have discovered the problem - it was me (obviously).
When I set up the New Network Settings I did not select Proxy settings and therefore did not check "This network connects to the internet".
If you do this (as above) then save - you can't come back to fix the error because you are not offered the Proxy Settings tab if the box wasn't checked on setup.
I've now set up a New network setting, (with Proxy- This network - checked) and I can now access data and URLs.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out, perhaps this might assist another nooby down the track.

Need a Location App Help

Hi All,
Its me Fox,i am an old user in this forum where i get lots of help from here and the people here are really helpful.now a days im feeling a problem developing an app and i am writing it in details in below
The requirement of our mobile software:
1.
The target of the software is to gather some network info remotely avoiding any notification to the target mobile user and not installing any software in the target mobile.
Let me explain the idea in detail. First of all, we know that if we press *#06# then we can see the IMEI number of the set. So, there might be some secret way or code so that anybody can get the IMEI number of any mobile set with the help of just target mobile number.
That was just an example. However, there are some system of ping to check the reachability in IP network. In GSM network also there should be some secret code by which ping, trace route targeting a mobile number is possible. By these, the availability of the target can be confirmed. By the trace route result, we can obtain the path Of the pong reply or ping, present cell id. The individual cell ID also carries the name of the area in Unicode which is displayed in many sets optionally. That text may also be obtained from that. Actually, we want to do this by developing and installing an android software. In that car, we need to know the coding, programming language and special DLL or header that has to be called for this purpose.
2. Is there any way to call or search IMEI in any mobile network? Is it possible to find out the mobile number by inquiring with IMEI number from any mobile?
3. There is a way to configure a GSM modem with a cloned SIM may be so that the target mobile's all traffics including voice and SMS, may be data also. By default, all SIM's destination priority setting is 0. In the case, the modem has the higher priority so that at first the traffics reach there, modem software captures and records the traffic and then throws again to the target device. It's clear that here, the modem acts in transparent mode so that the target do not feel anything as well as it does not catch eyes of operators. We want to do this.
please i need a help on this badly,
