Wallpaper change based on SIM switched on

I have a Vodafone's TWIN sim card in which I have 2 different numbers: professional number and private number.
I am not concious about what SIM I have switched on in every specific moments so I am spending my money in professional calls and viceversa.
Everytime I want to change from one number to the other I have 2 possibilities:
1.- Turn off and Turn on the Phone in Comm Manager and enter PIN
2.- Use STK Service, selece which number I want ot switch on and enter PIN
I have been searching for a long time a program that changes the Wallpaper (or that writes anything in the main screen) based on the SIM I have switched on so I can be aware about what is the current active SIM at every moment. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything yet.
Also, is there any program to turn off and then turn on the phone with just one click as I am using it very often? Something to switch between sims in a TWIN sim card without entering the PIN?
Could anybody give me any idea? Any program that could help me for some of the mentioned purposes? Any forum in where I could continue my search?
Thank you very much in advance...

for no pin just take the pin of the sim card from the sim card settings. A nokia phone may help you...

Is not there anybody who can help me a little more?
Thank you in advance.....

I have the same situation!!! So I'm also interrested!

Radio's dead... help?

I recently flashed NAZtech Desire ROM and now the phone does not connect to a network. I just get the "emergency calls only" message, but that (999) doesn't work either.
The APN settings are in and selected, but when I try to select a network I get a message that says this SIM cannot connect to this network, even trying to select automatically gives the same result.
I've tried multiple ROMs and multiple SIMs and yes, I have tried doing a Nandroid restore yet still can't connect to a network.
I've tried flashing a new Radio image and reflashing cyanogen's ROM but that still doesn't work.
N.B. This did not happen imediately after flash, it happened over night as I slept. I woke up one morning and it did not connect, I tried moving to multiple different basestations in different areas with no result.

Nandroid?
The good news is that your radio isn't fully dead, bricking your phone.

This is probably not very helpful (though I don’t think anyone is going to be able to be really), but this sounds like what happens when you IMEI is blocked or invalid. The networks won’t let it connect.
Its happened to me on a pervious phone. Unlocking it caused the IMEI to be set to all 0s. Had reset it before it would connect.
Would also fit as you say it didn’t happen straight after the flash. Maybe it was unconnected?
Any chance this has happened? Ring your network see if they can tell you if its blocked (maybe a mistake when someone reported a missing phone...?) Sorry as I say probably not much help.

What would I see if it was blocked? if I enter *#06# It just shows my IMEI number. My phone isn't tied to a contract and I've tried different SIMs so how do I check/or get it unlocked.

Did you try another active sim card, or your sim in another phone? I had this same problem and it was just a dead sim card, went to Tmo and they gave me a new sim card for free, popped it in and it connected in a couple seconds.

I'm currently using the Three UK SIM I usually use for my N1 in my old Samsung Omnia, and I've tried another o2 (untied)* contract SIM and another active SIM.
*I know it's unlocked because it was bought for the Xperia X1 and used in two other phones afterwards (within the contract duration which is due to end later this year) - G1 and iPhone 3GS

You would see what you are seeing (you can see the networks but not connect to them). My MUCH older phone that I referred to did much as yours is doing. There was only the option to make emergency calls.
Its possible to report a phone stolen (by its IMEI number) and ALL the networks will block that IMEI number from connecting. Its designed to combat phone theft. Its the same reason that it is illegal to change a phone's IMEI number.
I doubt this is the case (unless you can think of a reason why it might have happened). But maybe ring your network just in case and ask them to check if your IMEI is blocked.

G1. dont ask for unlock code..?

i have a g1 but it doesnt made the unlock code request.
and it show a message
NO SIM CARD have NO SERVICE.
the sim is working perfectly on another phone.
how can i check the sim card reader..?
or any tip....

no body...????? heeeeeeeeeeeeelp....

Go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Network Operators.
Select the new network, and you'll be prompted for the code.

Also (for your silly simple checks) ensure the sim card is inserted in the correct orientation.. the key on the sim needs to match the diagram on top of the sim slot.

Unless something's broken, it won't even be able to go in backwards. The key cut needs to be in the right place in order for the BATTERY to be installed.

Why so it is (my fault for never actually trying.. had someone say they tried backwards [and it failed] but they also previously opened the phone without the right tools and the plastic of the battery case was a bit of a mess..)

hi to all, thank you by your help.. but i still with the same problem.
1. the sim is install in the correct positions
2. if i try to search my network it show,,,
your sim card does not allow a connection to this network, and never ask for the sin network unlock PIN
3. i installed 3 or 4 diferents sim and the same history, doesnt asl for sim network unlick pin
i found this link.

i try all but noting...

hello, me too i try to use my but i can't when i put the sim card it always shows "no sim card in phone" now what can i do to display the enter code screen?

food for thought
Just curious, have you gone to Settings-Applications-Manage Applications and searched for Google Apps and cleared the cache.
I had a similar issue with the unlock screen and my calls never ring through, they went right to voice mail. I cleared the cache and that resolved the issue. Not sure if it will take care of the network issue, but give it a try.

any update about..???? no body know the problem..?

After fr008 , no network signal

Hello
After I install FR008 , I LOST MY SIGNAL IN MY ARIA . I cann't even connect to the network at all . I keep getting no services or Limited services .
When i search Manually for an Operator I keep getting , the sim card can't be connected to ... .
HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE ?
I have tried 2 radios .
1- liberty-radio47.41.35.10H_7.09.35.13-signed
2- liberty-radio47.54.35.20H_7.13.35.13-signed
HELO PLZ PLZ PLZ

Wow, odd. I had a similar issue. I would look at my phone and have no service (ATT in NYC - YOU GET SERVICE). Then maybe I thought it was my office building, nope. Also tried different radios. Nope.
Went to CM61.1 and never had another issue.

I had same issue randomly before. Though setting network types bring my signal back. In case you wanna try it:
- Dial *#*#4636#*#*
- Phone Info
- Bottom of the screen, try to change "Set preferred network type".

Something similar to this happened to me.
I had CM6, and (without thinking) did a factory reset of the phone (Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset).
When the phone rebooted, it didn't recognize the SIM card. I almost [email protected]#t bricks. The card wouldn't work in any other phone, but other SIM cards worked fine in the Aria.
The solution was to un-root/reinstall stock at&t Android ROM and take it to the at&t store. They replaced my SIM card.

Did the STC SIM card work in any other phone?
I'm guessing that when you flashed the ROM, it hosed the SIM card.
Please check to see if the STC SIM card works in another unlo.cked phone. If it doesn't then it's been damaged. If it DOES work in another phone, then there's something going on with how your phone is interacting with the network/radio software on the device.

It sounds like the SIM card is bad. You should get a replacement.
I'm not an expert on this, and can only suggest. If other cards work in the phone you're probably ok.

What error are you seeing? When I had a problem, the device said there was no SIM card present. It wasn't just "no service."
If an at&t card works on the phone you are fine. You just need to fix carrier issues.
If you want, unroot and load the stock ROM from at&t and try the SIM.

What didn't work?
I'm trying to help (with my limited knowledge).
It really sounds like the STC card is bad.
When you start the phone, do you see a big picture of a SIM Card displayed? If so, that means one of the following:
There is no card present
There is a card present, but it is inserted incorrectly or not completely in the slot
There is a card present, but it is either deactivated or damaged
If you DON'T see a big picture of a SIM card when the phone starts, then the SIM card is in place and not damaged. You may not have service (there is an "x" on the top left of the signal strength bars). But the card is still good. It's also possible the card is not provisioned for STC. They can re-provision it. Call them and tell them the phone's IMEI number.
I really want to help!

Ok...I think I'm understanding now. I didn't know you searched for networks and got the error message.
The error message "Your Sim Card doesn't Allow Connection to this Network" is a good indicator that the SIM Card is defective.
Try the following. If they don't work, try purchasing a new SIM card.
switch to Airplane mode and back again
go to Settings/Wireless & network/Mobile networks and check "Use only 2G networks."
Go to the dial pad and dial *#*4636#*#* and select Phone Information. Scroll to the end and choose "GSM only" in the drop-down box above "turn off radio"
Go to http://www.amta.org.au/pages/amta/Check.the.Status.of.your.Handset and see if your phone has been reported lost or stolen and re-branded (I'm not sure where you got it, but it doesn't hurt to check).
If all else fails, I suggest getting a new SIM card from STC Mobile. Explain that it just stopped working and you need another one. They may charge you a small fee, but at least the phone will work.
Good luck,
Dan

It's working Now .
thanks

[Q] no network coverage after installing wp7 on my hd2

just installed wp7 on my hd2 and after the start up my phone keeps searching for the network. have tried automatic network selection and tap to select but no luck. am using 2.15 radio. would appreciate any help.

goto your settings, scroll to cellular, then down to add apn, in the apn box type epc.tmobile.com and leave the rest blank.
this works with tmobile us

isn't that supposed to be only for the data connection? even without entering the apn the phone should be able to find the network for just making voice calls. so mine seems to be a different problem. the phone is simply unable to catch any signals.

from my understanding of the whole cell phone fiasco is the sim card has everything the phone needs to connect your providers tower and also tells your phone what services you have voice, data, etc etc, so it should setup voice automatically. i would try searching for the program (htc connection setup) they use to install the xml files it also sets your phone with the provider.
good luck.

Only search at the internet for your apn settings, enter them and voila you can use your data connection, nothing more nothing less and done in a minute. HTC Connection Setup don't work well but you have to use it later if you want to change phone type to HD7 for the Marketplace ^^)

yeah we covered that part, the concern is that the phone is/was not connecting to the towers

Maybe check out other Radio ROM. 2.15 should work well, but uses more battery.

switched back to winmo 6.5 for a while and the same radio worked fine (caught the signal etc.). Just now again tried to flash wp7 using 2 different radios, that is 2.12 and 2.14. Have already tried 2.15 with my first attempt, but the problem just remains the same.... 'no network found'. any thoughts? have even tried putting in the apn too. no luck

u know its funny cus its the exact same with mine exactley the same ive tried everything and it picks up the signals but it wont let me connect to any network at all... the phone is just fine except that one problem.. plz any body help us with this stupid problem

i was havin the same damn problem, and i just flashed the 2.11.50.26 radio, and boom baby!! instant network connection. no more 3 beeps and disconnection for me now to check battery life and wifi (no 3g in trinidad yet, so u can't test that)

sim lock...???
After trying different radios by flashing and re-flashing, I've noticed something I should mention. My phone dialer shows a sim icon with a lock on the top left of the screen. Does that shed a new light on things?

sim lock ???
hey sameer... I have the very same issue with my HTC HD2. It is unlocked and I am facing the very same issue that you are when I revert to WinMo 6.5 everything works fine with the same radio. I've tried almost every radio now and have no luck. However, the funny thing is that I do see the sim with a lock when I go to my dialer. I suspect the OS is SIM Locked, however, when in WinMo 6.5 every Sim Card is recognized and works properly
Any luck with the issue yet??
Let me know of your thoughts... btw I'm on Ufone's Network.

It's the sim card!
Problem solved for me and hopefully for salmanjavaid too!
I learnt it the harder way though, by which I mean that I spent money to buy an HD7 and after inserting my sim in my brand new HD7..... no signal again! oooops! Only then it occurred to me to try some other sim cards. My network is also Ufone here in Pakistan. So first I tried a Prepaid Ufone sim (the one with white and orange colour and 64K printed on the back)...and Lo and Behold my hd7 gets the signal and network settings and data connection works fine too! Other operators' sim cards like Telenor, Warid and Mobilink worked fine too. But when I insert the sim card which is in my use back again....no signals again! This sim card is a different version, perhaps not 64K and plain black color on the back.
A call to my Personal Customer Service Executive assigned by Ufone sets the next course of action. He'll bring a replacement sim card for me, when I get back home.
My suggestion to salmanjavaid: try other sim cards first. If they work then get a replacement sim card.
Hope it solves your problem too.

id give this a shot. I'm on vacations in Pakistan and have my Sim Card from O2. I will give it a shot tonight Thanks for the suggestion.
