I'm neither a software delevoper or hardcore techie, however this applies to several models so i didnt know where to post. And this is a software question, so i figured you probably could give me an answer.
We have several HTC Tornado and Wizard's, and to get exchange to work on them we have to use custom GPRS and VPN settings. Does there exist a solution where our users could just type in the domain username and password in an application and application configure the GPRS VPN settings on the phone/PDA.
Or possibly make a config/registry file on the computer, convert it to cab and run it on the phone.
Dangaard (a norwgian distributer of HTC phones) made a GRPS/MMS configurator application that you install on the phone, run and choose which operator you have, and it changes your GPRS/MMS settings to that operator.
Something like that is what i'm looking for, but to include VPN and ActiveSync settings also.
I have searched and searched and still cannot figure out where & what to edit in the WM5 registry on my Cingular 8125 to allow me to manually select networks and edit the preferred networks list.
These items are blocked out on Cingular phones. I'm sure this can be brought back with registry hacks, but I've yet to find them
For those of us who do not want to update the complete ROM to an unsupported and/or problematic build - please help!! :shock:
The problem is that the near-by ATT tower gives me a full signal on my MPX200, the Cingular tower gives me 0 to 1 bar!
My new 8125 will only let me access the Cingular tower (with only 0 to 1 bar!) I need to be able to hop on the ATT tower manually, and set it as my preferred network.
Thanks for any help in advance. I've spent hours upon hours reading here, so I know you guys know your stuff! Come on, Come on...
did you load the extended rom on your 8125?
if not, there is an "enable eons" cab file that you may want to run. it won't allow manual network selection, but it should log you on to whatever tower is strongest...
how can i do that on my Tmobile MDA?
I'm also having a problem with reception issues, I called Cing and the tech support told me that my 8125 was setup to be ATT preferred even though my strongest and closest tower was Cing.
The lady said she switched me to Cing preferred and that I should notice a change in ~24 hrs, I guess I'll find out in another 13 hrs.

Where is the extended rom? Is that all the Cingular stuff that installed on the first boot? If so, then yes, it's loaded.
Where can in find the enable eons cab you're talking about?
EDIT: I found what you are talking about, in FTP. I need to find detailed descriptions of these before I install them. Might be a work around, but still not exactly what we all need to get our WM5 back to normal. Thanks though.
I really wish someone could find the reg edits needed to bring these options back!
Anyone???

I'm not so sure that CAB file is our friend. I'm running the latest AKU 2.2 ROM (2.25) without any Cingular files installed and man do I get much better reception. Used to be that I'd drop calls twice (at least between office & home) but not a problem since I stopped loading those Cing CABs!

So, do you have the options to set up your preferred networks? And manually choose which network to connect to?
Start > Settings > Phone > Options > Network tab
???
And how stable is that 2.25 ROM? Which product exactly was it meant for?
Thanks a bunch
Well I just upgraded to Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU22_Basic.exe and still have the same problem!
I went ahead and let the customizations install. It's gotta be one of those cabs that removing the manual network selection and preferred networks options!
This sucks because I want everything EXCEPT the one that's causing this. If I stop the customization process by soft-resetting right before it starts, is there a way to install the cabs one at a time??? Where are they actually stored on the device, I cant seem to find them.
Thanks in advance...
Ok, for an update...
I re-flashed to Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU22_Basic.exe and this time I did not let the customizations run. I did a soft-reset at the 3sec prompt.
Phone booted up, everything looks OEM, nothing Cingular at all. However... I STILL DO NOT have the options I'm looking for in Start > Settings > Phone > Network tab
There is supposed to be an option in WM5 to change between manual and automatic network selection, and a preferred networks list editor...
This is ridiculous! Is there maybe a block built into the SIM? How can I edit the SIM then? I NEED to remove this crap that Cingular's built in. Not letting us select networks and manage our preferred list is BS!
I really cannot believe there is no fix/hack out here yet for this... Help some one please!!
What SIM card do you have?
The solution may be worked around in the software but all Cingular 64k SIMS block setting preferred networks.
Cingular lately has been working to put a stop to excessive off network useage...hence the EONS file but that still is set by the SIM to save the preference.
Im sure someone with skills can write an app to load at startup that can do the same functions but at stock it's not possible.
I just confirmed that!! Damn SIM cards.
I was able to dig out my old ATT sim card and ALL the settings I was looking for were there!
Some one PLEASE come up with a way to either edit Cingular SIMs not to do this, or block them from doing it... please!
Check your PM, may be able to help you a bit
Thanks Decepticon, a possible work around. However, I really would like to put everyone to the test and fix this by blocking Cingulars SIM or registry entries from disabling network selection and preferred networks.
Here is an update every one:
Developers, listen up, shine for us on this one please
HKLM\Security\Phone\
L: 0
ManualDisable: 1
PreferredDisable: 1
I changed the two 1's to 0's and bam! I have the settings under Start > Settings > Phone > Network tab
I can view all networks, set to manual, look at preferred list, etc etc
BUT... when clicking OK, get an error "Unable to save settings on network, try again". So no settings stick
Also, after a softboot (properly waiting for registry to save) the above settings go back to 1's.
This has got to be something in the SIM, a program in Startup, or a registry setting that keeps changing these settings back upon boot. Because they are not programmed out, just blocked at boot.
Here is what I have listed in Startup:
CapNotify
custTDYTSK
Init_Tray
Magic_Button
poutlook
sddaemon
WiFiInit
Any of them suspicious?
Let's bang this out folks...
Can someone attempt to view Cingulars SIM contents and block whatever changes these registry values?
Anyhow, just some more info for ya'll :wink:

That's when it attempts to save the preferences to the SIM.
Unfortunately editing the registry wont be able to get this accompolished but I do hope someone can write a program that saves the preferences on the phone and use it to override the SIM upon tower selection.
Settings don't stay with a non-Cingular SIM after reboot
I used a foreign SIM on my Cingular 8125 and after registry was changed and soft reset it defaulted to origninal Cingular settings. Truley SAD! Any other ideas about registies that could make the Manual Network selection become available for use permanently? Got to be something else. How about posting the registy values from other HTC's (non-Cingular) or Cingular with that activated feature to perceive the difference.
You keep referring to:
Start > Settings > Phone > etc.
On my 8125, when I go to Start > Settings the only tabs I have to choose from are Personal, System, and Connections. Where is this Phone tab you keep mentioning?
BTW, I am running the Dopod 2.21 WWE rom on my Cingular 8125. I do have manual network selection available in the Phone control panel settings.

It's not a tab. It's an icon in there. Click on it to open the phone settings. Then go to the "Network" tab at the bottom. You'll see a screen that just tells you what Network it's on, and one button called "Find Network".
Cingular's SIM card blocks the other buttons that let you manually select which networks to connect to, and lets you save your preferred network list.

So do you have those options WITH a Cingular SIM card in the phone?? Or are you using a different carriers SIM???
Common CONFUSION about SIM and FIRMWARE
Folks, the manual selection of the network is simply blocked in certain versions of ROM. Cingular in particular and on purpose has started doing that especially in the late versions of so-called HTC/Cingular ROM editions. Everything is about money now. So depending on SIM card (straight 64K or 3g 64k) your phone has more or less tendency to stick to this preferred CINGULAR network. However your ability to choose network manually solely depends on the ROM of your PDA/phone. I personally like Dopod 838 Rom 2.21 etc which works a whole lot better in all aspects. Trust my experience. AND you DO HAVE this ABILITY to manully select a provider. One more thing! Using a simple 64k SIM card on CINGULAR ROMS gives you FAR BETTER RECEPTION AND CLARITY than on 3g SIM card.
Ever since I have had my wizard I have not been able to send MMS messages, when I try it later says that the message could not be sent and that it will be filed under drafts. I have tried many different ROMs with no difference. Finally got annoyed enough to post about it. Can anyone help me?
kinda hard to help if you don't indicate who your service provider is and what type of plan you have.
Since the settings are different for the various carriers, most roms don't set up the connections because that would make them carrier specific. (even if you find a carrier specific rom it won't do setups for specific plans)
You have to manually set up your connections, or find a CAB for you carrier and plan.
Is there any way to get latest network configuration settings cab coz my rom don't have it. Newer roms have it but they are slower than this one so I don't want to use new rom. I found one on the internet, but that file is from 2007.
Thanx
what do you mean network config ?
as in gprs and mms settings?
if so then unless your operator have a habbit of
changing their settings often leaving all their
customers fustrated i daresay that using a 2007 would be
acceptable
I was thinking on Network Wizard, who starts anytime I reset my device coz there is no settings for my provider (which is new and operate about year in my country)... I found new setting in some other new rom but that rom is slower much more than this one that I use. So I need external cab with latest settings to install. I have a Kaiser.
Thanx
P.S. I check it again and that is a windows called Connection Setup where is message that my operator don't exist in database and to ask operator for connection settings. In new rom this thing automatic recognize my operater but in this older faster rom i don't have latest version and there is no matching in database
if your operator support mms and gprs there are settings
non wm phones use the same settings as wm phones
even if the users never see the settings
so if they support gprs and mms there are settings
you can use

Automatic Network settings confuguration when SIM card changed
Does the Wizard for Kaiser also work on Fuze?
I have a Fuze and also the HTC MAX 4G - when I switch SIM card on 4G - it automatically notifies me that my SIM card does not match the Operator Settings and if I want to change settings automatically - if I say "Yes" it reconfigures the settings automatically and all works perfect.
However if I do same on Fuze - change the SIM from AT&T to Swisscom - it will not aquire th esettings - I have to do it manually, which means I have to have these written down.
I wonder if there is a setting to enable th eaouto network configurator as MAX 4G and Fuze both use WM6.1 and are made by HTC.
im guessing that the network wizard is OS dependant - EG if you have an xperia wm6.1 then it will work on kaiser 6.1.
I am looking for a cab for HTC Connection Setup 1.5.34057.2. I've been all over this forum and can't find it. I might have to go back to the one from the Kaiser.
Okay, this might be something someone has a quick simple solutin for or a long tedious solution, either way I need help please

Bump for help
Here is a Metro carrier cab i made.
Automated Metro PCS WAP and Arcsoft CABs for Windows Mobile CDMA Devices.
Motorola Q's DO NOT support Arcsoft so DO NOT install those CABs, you may only use the Carrier CAB..
I have added a new Version 5.2.32.2R1 and added Metros changes to my old (original) CABs.
1: Please delete/overwrite/rename the IOTA folder in device memory/program files (if exists, usually stock ROMs)
2: Please delete the HTC Guardian shortcut or equivalent from device memory/windows/startup folder (if exists, usually stock ROMs) and reboot your device.
3: Install my Security Policy Lifter CAB (you may or may not need this depending on the ROM you use) and reboot your device.
4: Now choose a CAB to install your options and explanations are below. Obviously reboot your device after installation.
The HTC Titan MMS Fix versions I only found needed on a HTC Titan with a Stock ROM. Most custom ROMs including Mine dont have the Default Connection string issue. MMS always works.. So you can user the "Other" versions if using a Titan with a custom ROM or another WM CDMA device. The Metro Carrier CAB is for people that just want to set up their data Connection on Metro PCS *it is not required for my cabs that have WAP in the name* . You dont have to do anything but install. No deleting any registry settings or connections for all of these CABs! They do all the work for you.
For the CABs with WAP or the Carrier CAB all you have to do after reboot is make sure phone is unplugged and open internet explorer. Navigate to a real page like yahoo.com and a prompt will come up. Enter your [email protected] and password is "metropcs" lowercase and no quotes. Blank domain, click save password. Then OK, or Done.
If you are going to try several of them just make sure to uninstall old CAB before new one. Easy.
Also if you are going to use these for another Carrier just remember that each Arcsoft of mine has the MetroPCS SetMdn fix in the start up folder. It woulnt hurt you but may as well get rid of it if not using Metro PCS.

Ryan Mogul Metro PCS Carrier CAB <--Just sets up your Metro PCS Data Connection
These CABs totally blow away any others created before. I spent a lot of time on these. A little taste of everything for everyone. Here is the other great thing about these CABs and they are the first of its kind. You do not have to edit your registry first! You do not have to delete any existing Data Connections! My CABs take care of all that work.
For example when I tested my new method out I created a few dummy connections using my phone. I also went into the registry HKLMS arcsoft and added a bunch of bogus keys. I then changed my connection to one of the bogus ones. Top and Bottom networks were bogus. Then I installed my Cricket WAP and Arcsoft 5_0_31_7 (non Titan Fix version my ROMs dont need default connection fix to operate properly). The CAB totally deleted all existing connections with the exception of the ones that are supposed to be there. My work network, secure wap, internet, my isp etc.. And it installed the data connection ready to activate using the browser like normal. Then I checked the Arcsoft keys and the bogus ones were gone. Everything was how its supposed to be.
The point is with all of these CABs you dont have to do anything but install to device memory and sit back let it do all the work. Absolutely great!
If it doesnt install soft reset your device and try again. Do not check messages first just reboot and install.
If it still doesnt install try another CAB, your Stock NOOB ROM is probably affecting your ability to install such CABs.
Your the man Ryan!!!!
Ryan.... you may have saved my bacon, player. I'm about to throw your CAB on and see what happens.

Well, you got me one step closer. I can now send emails via Gmail but still not internet. I check all my setting and I'm fairly sure I've got them set correctly. Any ideas? Whenever I try to hit IE, it dials the #777 connection I set up and it says connecting... then locating.... then... this page can't be opened because the connection has been lost. I updated my PRL (i believe it's 2002). Any ideas?
Thanks again.

Where did you find this ROM? His site is down and I can't find it anywhere?
He just moved his site, R4R Loaded http://www.sskusers.com/Titan.html
I followed those and they all come back broken.
Wow!! I found a copy of R4R.... omfg... it's so sick. I love it. the interface is so dope. I flashed it, hard reset, and ran the metropcs carrier cab... still not net. It must be a setting I'm messing up. I went through and made sure that everything was my number and nothing said sprint on my nam, w.ip. and all that but something tells me that there's something on that profile that should be nulled out. can anybody tell me what should be filled in and what should be empty (or zeroed out) in the settings?
Hey buddy hope this helps you.
Here is what I can suggest for you. The obvious things have to be set up right like PST settings. I would consult with udfxrookie as my CAB got him out of his jam with Metro PCS. Ask him about the PST settings and also you may have to Un-Authenticate and Re-Authenticate as described in my Cricket PST settings thread. Just use the Metro Values instead of the Cricket values. The HDR auth & PPP username and Password part.
This is a PM from udfxrookie

Yeah, carrier cab worked out perfect, back online and MMS settings are up and running, thanks again so much. Your a lifesaver

Now after making sure your Metro PCS PST settings are correct. Was the first thing you did when you are done flashing the phone and didnt touch a single thing (settings etc..) did you install MY Metro Carrier CAB and wait a little while then soft reset?
If that was fine then after the soft reset did you make sure your Phone WAS NOT plugged in to the Computer before attempting to access the Internet on the Phone to set up the @metropcs.com and password crap? The Phone needs to be unplugged from PC as when the Phone is plugged in its using your Home PC's internet connection and will not set up right.
After these steps you should be set to jet. Only other thing I can think of is you may NOT have a Data plan with Metro PCS, or may need to have the account refreshed. Let us know how it worked out.

Make sure your phone is unplugged from Computer for next step. That is open internet explorer on the phone and navigate to a real webpage. yahoo.com etc.. then a prompt will come up telling you what to do, enter your [email protected] , password is metropcs. Make sure to click save password. Then that should be it.
You dont have to enter the proxy or anything... Both of my cabs already do that!! You may have to go into select networks and make the top drop down menu My work network, and Bottom one MetroPCS, you can fiddle around with those until you achieve what you need.
And about going into EPST use the diagnostic shortcut in start bar/programs/diagnostic..
You probably have smart dial on thats why you are having problems. Try ##778 call, ##778# call. If you cant get in with all three suggestions then idk. Reading my threads would of already told you this knowledge as well. I didnt even know you are using MY ROM. Here is what you said a couple posts ago, and R4R is not my ROM

just wanted to know if metropcs will know that im using sprint mugol as a phone instead of their phone if i flash my mugol using your rom and carrier cab? I'm thinking of switching over from sprint to metropcs. I want to try their first month free first before I make the switch because I want to know if that will cause any trouble. I like the $45 plan they have. Others who have metropcs if you can give me feedback on this as well that would great too, my sprint is expiring this month on 22nd and ive been itching on switching somewhere else.
Thanks
sprint sucks
I had sprint for several years thru my family's business and was never really impressed with the service. The business closed due to the crappy economy and I ended up having to get a metro. signed up for the unlimited talk/text plan and bought their samsung slider. I like the service and have recently learned that ppc could be flashed over. I now have the sprint mogul fully operational with mms and web and hands down I love it....everyone who sees my phone thinks it is cool as hell. looking to upgrade to touch pro in the near future. If u live in an area that offers metro then go for it. it might b a pain in the ass to get them to put the smartphones esn on their network but just go to one of the smaller stores and offer the worker a few bucks to put the esn in as a razor v3....that what i did.

Yea I agree, if trying to activate a Mogul on almost any CDMA Carrier you might want to lie to them and say your phone is a Motorola V3C, or if that particular Carrier doesnt have a Motorola V3C then find out what phone they carry that has 3G EVDO and tell them you are using that phone. This way their will be no problems obtaining EVDO or in some cases not being able to put the phone on the account.
While I am in here, I have updated the Metro Carrier CAB's because I noticed that a value was set that tells you when a text has been read by the other person. I had thought I didnt include that value but I guess I had a lot to do that day.
The CAB's are updated with Working Dialer Codes, and will get rid of that annoying System Administrator message letting you know your text was received and read. If you do not want to re-download the CAB then navigate to this reg entry and change the Value from 1 to 0.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\SMS
"Delivery Ack" Change value from 1 to 0
Also for those with a Mogul, I have a fully tested WAP/MMS Metro ROM that I cooked (in my ROM threads), you do NOT need a carrier cab or any edits. The ROM is fully programmed for WAP/MMS all you have to do is activate the internet first while phone is unplugged.. Like you have to on any Custom Carrier Cooked ROM..

I had sprint for several years thru my family's business and was never really impressed with the service. The business closed due to the crappy economy and I ended up having to get a metro. signed up for the unlimited talk/text plan and bought their samsung slider. I like the service and have recently learned that ppc could be flashed over. I now have the sprint mogul fully operational with mms and web and hands down I love it....everyone who sees my phone thinks it is cool as hell. looking to upgrade to touch pro in the near future. If u live in an area that offers metro then go for it. it might b a pain in the ass to get them to put the smartphones esn on their network but just go to one of the smaller stores and offer the worker a few bucks to put the esn in as a razor v3....that what i did.

so you mean they really can't detect what kind of phone it is through ESN? That's what I was worried about because when I log in to sprint it has a picture of what kind of phone I'm currently using so they know. That is interesting and at the same time exciting. Ohh can't wait for my contract to end. I saw a couple of small stores in my area about 4 or 5 think.
Do they allow swapping the phone during the free month so atleast I can be really sure it'll work with my mugol? I called their CS # line and the CS sounds really dull as if she doesn't care and keeps telling me she can't do nothing at all.

Yea I agree, if trying to activate a Mogul on almost any CDMA Carrier you might want to lie to them and say your phone is a Motorola V3C, or if that particular Carrier doesnt have a Motorola V3C then find out what phone they carry that has 3G EVDO and tell them you are using that phone. This way their will be no problems obtaining EVDO or in some cases not being able to put the phone on the account.

that is awesooooommmm a fully set metro rom. this just made it easier and easier for me to switch and save tons of money.
Fixed both metro cabs
I found problems with both of my Metro cabs and they are now fixed. Just make sure to delete any existing connections before installing a cab.
The problem was it not provisioning right and the web prompt never coming up asking you for your information. I got that sorted out so those that tried this and it failed. Try it again.
Cheers
