Wizard showing wrong network name with Qtek 2.17.7.2 WWE ROM

Since i updated to the new Qtek 2.17.7.2 WWE ROM my Wizard seems to be convinced that i'm connected to Proximus BE network instead of T-Mobile NL network. Now i'm quite sure my Wizard hasn't got enough power to reach Belgium from where i live so i must be connected to the T-Mobile network. Also when i search for networks from the phone settings i also get to see the T-Mobile network instead of Proximus.
Does anybody know what the problem could be and where i can change the name of the network?
Besides that little but annoying problem the ROM seems a huge improvement.
Thanks,
Chris

There is a registry key that allows you to show any text in the dialer based on the network id's.
Use a registry editor to search for the text you see (literally).
Simply remove the key and the dialer should show the text that is sent over the network.
If you cant find the text in registry . . . .no clue
(I once posted a reply on a thread in the Himalaya section on this)

I thought it interesting that the QTek rom told me I was connected to "Get More..." when every other ROM I've used all tell me I'm connected to "T-Mobile". At least they both reference the same company!

I just thought of another way you could see another network in the dialer as the network name youre really connected to.
In the \windows folder there can be a carrielogo.gif file.
If it exists (and it does on T-Mobile roms) you will never see the actual network name in the dialer but the contents of the carrierlogo.gif file (which is obviously a logo of the operator that distributed the rom).
there are threads on this to find but basically you can only do one thing here: copy the carrierlogo.gif file (using totalcommander) to you PC, erase the contents (or put in your own picture) and copy it back (ignore the rom file warning).
afaik the Qtek and iMate roms do not have a carrierlogo.gif file.
T-Mobile roms do have one, not sure about O2 or Vodafone.

I found exactly one reference to the Proximus string in the State part of the registry. After i changed it to T-Mobile all the screens showed T-Mobile, but after a reset or a reconnect to the GSM network it changes back to Proximus. Really weird because the scan network screen shows the correct name after scanning. Strange bug, but i seem to be the only one that has got it. Oh well, that's life (with software).

Signed_GPRS-stall_Wizard_TMOUS_DEC20.CAB
On mine through a process of elimination I determined that the T-Mobile customization file: Signed_GPRS-stall_Wizard_TMOUS_DEC20.CAB was causing the wrong carrier to show up.

GPRS works in IExplorer but - applications other applications can't use network conne

Dear friends,
I'm experiencing the following wired problem with my Sim-unlocked O2 XDA Neo (with original O2 software), which I'm using in Austria with the cell-provider tele.ring.
I've properly configured a new network-connection called "teler.ring GPRS" as described by my provider and it's possible for me to dial-in and connect.
When I start the WM5 IExplorer (or Opera Mobile) the phone dials in with GPRS and everything works fine as I'm able to surf the web.
Well unfortunately all other applications except those two (e.g. email, qmail, fring, skype, spbweather) are not able to use this internet connection - the email application for example tells me that the server cannot be found....
I have the feeling they are not accessing the proper network-connection. Is there any special profile I have to alter (e.g. network connection "ISP" or "O2 GRPS", etc.) with the GPRS settings so that the other applications can access the connection too?
How can I debug in this case to find where the problem could be?
Thanks for your help!

There are two possible causes:
1) When you created the GPRS connection you did it under 'My ISP' correct?
If in the connections dialog you go to the 'advanced' tab and click 'network selection' you will see two drop-down lists. Make sure 'My ISP' (or whatever group your connection is under) is selected in both.
This way all programs will know to use it.
2) The other possibility is more problematic: some cell providers block traffic on all ports except standard HTTP ones (80, 8080) so any program that uses different ports (probably anything other than a browser) will not work.
You will have to settle this with your cell co.

Thanks for your reply,
add1)
Well I'm not quite sure where to find "My ISP"?
When I've created a new Networkconnection I directly wen to the connections dialog, "the advanced tab" and said "new" in one of the two drop-down lists.
After I've created this new connection, it is available in both of these drop-down boxes. After this, I selected it in both - so that all programs should acutally know how which connection to use.
add2)
I'm in email traffic with my cell provider, but actually - as they even offer email as an option - they actaually told me that the specfic ports (e.g .125 for IMAP) should not be blocked..
3) Is there a kind of network monitor for my PPC where I can read the exact statement of failure (e.g. use ping, or other network instruments)?
4) Is it possible that O2 (that's the software I'm using) has a predefined ports or application block on the device, as they I think are offering something like a gprs-flat?
Thanks for your help!

I don't have the answer for 3 and 4 (I know there are network tools just can't remember any right now) but I think your problem is in step two.
You created a new group for your connection and this may confuse some programs.
By default, when you open 'Settings->Connections->Connections' on the first tab you should see 'My ISP' in bold and under that a link 'Add new network connection'. You should create your GPRS connection through that link and not in a new group (don't go to advanced).
If it is not there that could be something O2 did with the settings and unfortunately I am not sure how to get it back.

"This connection is pre-configured. It cannot be modified"

hey all,
im using a leo from TMob. i've unlocked it to take any chip but i can't see how to update the GPRS/3G settings because of the above message when looking at settings.
any ideas?
cheers
S

OMG , sounds like a nasty little trick of Tmob. to prevent people from using other networks after a sim-unlock.
But no fear. If I were you I'd flash the WWE Version of the non-branded ROM's, to get rid of all that is TMobile.
Other option would be to get help finding the correct registry keys and disable this message somehow. Must be do-able.
EDIT : can you delete that connection alltogether and create a new one?

T-Mobile do this to all of their winmo handsets.... i really dont see the point!

It's the corporate suckers. Always.

hi,
i found this out also after receiving my hd2 from them.
some say you can use the (i dont know what it is called in english) 'office network' setting (the one under the funny text from tmob) to connet to another provider. or by changing regkey or restoring backups from regular hd2's.
but for the point that this was not the only 'enhancement' t-(in)mobile has done to the device (no youtube player, bing, msnmessenger etc.) i preffer to reflash my device to the standard htc rom, how to do this can be found here in this fine thread .
i hope that helps mad.
ps. the german hd2's come without any sim or netlock, its only the manipulated registry for the internet connection.

Faking Windows Mobile system version

Hi,
I've Omnia i900 and changed ROM from 6.1 to 6.5
It seems that my operator is blocking this phone when I use WAP connection, and they told me that it's because they check that Omnia should have 6.1 version and not 6.5
Is it possible to hack the registry or some dll, so it will send version 6.1 even though it's 6.5?
Thank you!

i don't think operator is blocking you...
try folowing
change operator in settings (on omnia) to some other than yours operator and then wait 30sec and then change it back and you should have working wap/gprs

when you say they are blocking .... do you mean it won't connect your data connection or it wont load pages in the browser?
that's two completely different issues

The HTTP connection isn't working and I get an error:
HTTP 1046 - The device is defined to have the 'Deny' status. This configuration has been set using the DeviceInfo utility
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but the HTTPS connection does works fine...

A little idea: Look in the \windows folder to a file called ModelName.txt and read what inside is. Perhaps another device name.

I'm suspecting that the Operator's proxy is looking at the UserAgent String and denying based on this.
Details on where to find this information in the mobile's registry can be found here. This is assuming you are using Internet Explorer on your mobile.
Probably the best thing to do is check what these entries were before you changed your ROM and adjust them to match. If you cannot flash the original ROM, maybe someone with the original ROM will be kind enough to look them up on theirs for you.

[Q] Changing the default network connection

I want to automatically select the default network to which the device connects
(the first combo in Settings->WirelessControls->menu->Connections->Advanced->SelectNetworks -
See attached image)
My problem is as follows -
When I set up the connection to the operator -
it sets the default network to be <<3G Portal>>
I want to automatically change it to <<Internet 3G>>
(Or in the worst case -
Automatically delete the <<3G Portal>> -
making the <<Internet 3G>> the only available option -
which will force it to be default)
Does anyone know how to do this ?
(Even if some Cpp/C# code is needed - does anyone know the API ?)
Thanks

Not a lot of sense there
Looking at the screen print
The phone is set up to access the web FIRST via the 3G portal (every phone needs a portal to get online).
The second option looks to me to be a WIFI connection. Wifi always take priority over gprs/3g/hspa
so unless you can make a bit more clear what your looking for......................
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Of course, if you mean a different web access point get the APN settings and manualy add then from the settings menu - wireless and networks access point names - press the menu button - add apn

As I understand your Q, you wanna auto set the default network without having to manually change it everytime you hard reset / change roms?
Here's what I do for such things.
Get ceregistry editor, connect to your phone, export the registry to file, then, on the phone, change the default access point to the one you would rather it was, (possibly reboot phone here to be sure the registry has changed the default apn,) back into ceregistry editor, compare current registry to the snapshot, figure out which key changed, and to what value, then provision that reg key (via a cab, or provxml,) whenever you hard reset, after the network has been set up. (I have a cab with dozens of tweaks in it,you can just keep adding to it)

Thanks for the reply.
Both connections are over the Cellular network.
The first one (3G Portal) is set up by the operator to go via some proxies and stuff, which block certain services/sites as they are not stored on this proxy.
The Second one is "unfiltered" internet connection over the Cellular network.
Whenever the network is detected and set up, the settings are automaticelly set to go via the "proxied" connection.
I want to change it to work over the unfiltered connection.
I would like to know the registry keys or any other place this information is kept, so I could automatically change it.
I tried searching the registry for these values but could not get to a definite conclusion about where exactly the "default connection" is stored, or if it is stored in the registry altogether.
(If it is stored in the registry - I do NOT want a complete registry import/export - just the relevant keys)
Many thanks in advance.

Yes it is stored in the reg, but it stores an ID for each connection which is different for everyone, hence the method I suggested which would reveal both the key and the ID, I wasn't suggesting you import a whole registry, simply make a cab of just the one key. It would take about 10 mins to do, but I'm not running winmo so can't lookup the key for you.

Try using Data Controller by Red Frogfish. With this app, you can turn on and off all of your different connections indvidually.
Since, I have T-Mobile, I have the following connections:
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
T-Mobile Internet
And, Data Controller lets turn each on or off as needed/wanted.

Ok, thanks.
I will try this method.
