Hey guys.. so.. the new root gives me (not sure if anyone else has it) a new menu on the mobile networks menu. I can select which carrier I'm from (Fido, Rogers, etc etc.) and it automatically installs the APN information.
My question is, where is that located? How can I modify it? How can I take it out? Thanks.

bump? ^^
Settings->Wireless controls->Mobile networks.
You can't modify/remove it because it's built into the new settings app.
Oh? Ok then how can I modify the menus that it pops up, like right now its says fido, rigers, etc.. I want to change it to Fido, Rogers, etc.. I know I'm picky and I want to change the APNs it installs.
Pretty sure those are set by the networks themselves i.e. you have zero control over it.

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.
Hi, i use this phone in norway and it works great. BUT i miss a couple of things like:
-24H clock (i can see the option but not select it)
-Norwegian keyboard
-Is it possible to get MMS to work?, i know 3G is a no go(?), but it should be possible via EDGE or something?
Any ROMs you can recommend?, i just want a clean simple one without alot of the tmobile crap! I miss GPS, Flashlight/torch, compass ect. but i can install that myself.
Thanks!
Bump! for some reason the 3G icon comes on sometimes. i get a littlebit confused. can someone tell me where to type in the MMS settings so i can get it to work? The automated mms setup my provider sends me does not come up. Maybe there is a setting for that to?
To get to MMS settings:
All Messages, Menu, Settings, Options, Menu, MMS Server.

Have you set the "Region" to Norwegian ??
or try the Resco keyboard apps
In Norway we have 3G+ network, the 3G symbol is shown when the phone fallback in low/weak reception area.

Hello all,
New here. Yesterday I made the mistake of trying out the lagfix thingy and bricked my phone. But managed to reflash back to stock and clockwork thanks to justanothercrowd on this forum.
After I did a reset/reflash - everything seems to work fine excepted that my phone no longer detects networks - even though it says T-Mobile, I can't make any call or have any 3G or EDGE network. So if anyone has any idea or point me to similar thread I'd greatly appreciated (yes, I've already done a few searches).
My phone: T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant - Stock ROM, Rooted, Clockwork
If you need more detail please let me know, thanks a bunch for any help
as far as I know, once the netwrk is detected, your APN settings should be added automaticaly and data should work... did you try to see if the APN settings are there and they are right?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I even manually go network Operators to select t-mobile, reboot, wiped the phone again just to be sure. It's still can't detect it.
Maybe I'm missing some sorts of package when I did a clean reflash back to the stock ROM?
go to Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names and see if t-mobile is in there, and if it is, make sure the fields are correct (APN, MMSC, MCC, etc) and if T-Mobobile is not there, add it manually, see if that helps

You're right, the APN is empty... I guess I was just checking mobile networks. Can you post the settings? Otherwise I can go hunt around for one.
Thanks a bunch for your help!
Edit: I got it working! Thanks a lot! If anyone else needs the settings:
Name:T-Mobile
APN:epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC:310
MNC:260
APN Type:Internet + MMS
glad you got it working... for other people wanting to add manualy, once you get to Access Point Names, click menu, New, and name it T-Mobile, on APN put epc.tmobile.com and leave everything else empty.... reboot the phone and the network will automaticaly fill the rest of the fields
I am trying to find two things:
I run the HD2 on ATT. I dont need the settings, cause I already have working settings. What I am trying to find out is:
1) Where in the files, is the setting to change the MMS limit, and before you point me to the setting on the phone, thats not what I am talking about. on ATT the limit is 600k, but on the phone the Max I can choose is 300K so I want to know where is this info located and if its easy to change?
2) Can anyone tell me what in the kernel controls the data / MMS settings? The reason I have tried different kernels and the only two kernels that work are DFT on their released rom, and Projections, if I try to use M-DeeJays kernels, my MMS fails to send or recieve, so can someone tell me what module or what file I need to replace?
Thank you.
Anyone?
I found a thread about changing MMS values, but it only works for SDCard Android, not NAND, so again, anyone have any input? Members? Dev's? Fixer's? Anyone?
Again ANYONE have a CLUE?

i cant help with the 600k part, but i can say that i use cyan nand rom, and the mms settings are screwed for my provider, first i have to go in and select the correct active data account, then remove two duplicate but erronous default/mms accounts, that think theyre for my network, but dont work, and prevent the almost-but-not-quite-correct real data / mms ones from working, , then i have to alter the username to get them working, and the new settings dont work till you reboot, and you forget and test it and think its not working, and tear your hair out screaming till the missus tells you to grow up and get rid of that damned phone for the love of christ!
my point being its probably not an actual fault as such with that release, just the APN settings that are created that interfere with each other..
Actually no, the APN settings are exactly, I mean EXACTLY, I have 1 apn setting before updating the kernel, and after its the same apn setting, I triple checked and all the values are the exact same.
Mind you I am on ATT's network using the phone in 2g, which shouldnt make a difference since the apns dont care what network your on.
Just got the phone, rooted it. Its working, I can make calls but I wanted to get the APN correct
I goto settings and click on more. I dont see any menu for APN... Anybody else have this issue? Axon 7 U model
Correction... I found it.
You have to goto
Dual Sim settings, slide all the way down to Mobile networks then click on Access point Names. To create an new APN you have to click on the + button at top right and fill in all the blanks according to the Cell phone company you are using the phone with then you have to save the APN
BTW the phone choose to create its own APN, Im guessing from the SIm card I inserted, and its working fine. Same settings the ATT website says to use. Good signal.
Settings > Dual SIM Settings > Others: Mobile Networks > (sim slot) > Access Point Names
As a follow up question regarding APN.... Does anyone know the proper one for Verizon? I have 4 come up(2x2of the same)
