Ok, my network name shows up wrong on my wizard and I was wondering if there is any way of changing it?
I am subscribed with our local operator Wave Telecoms. They are a subsiduary company of Jersey Telecoms and actually use the same frequency etc in both of their networks (means I can roam between networks at no extra costs )
For some reason, my wizard shows my operator as Jersey Tel UK, rather than Wave.. Is there any way I can change this? It always used to say wave when i used the SIM in my old Sony Ericsson....
Also - is there any way that you can show cell broadcast messages on the wizard. I can't seem to find the setting anywhere - or even where it would show on the phone.....
For cell broadcast open your dialer with the green button, click menu, than options, then the tab named more. There is an option to enable cell broadcast channels.

i to m from guernsey and you are correct. about a month ago it show wave now is JT GSM.so you are not alone.wave cell broadcast on channel 50 and the only thing tha it broadcast is network name every 5 minutes as a message .it becomes very anoying.
(Argh unable fix the topic typo... sorry)
I have some specific problem i am unable to resolve.
My phone network provider is currently still building a network (base stations) so its signal is not reachable everywhere. This is the reason they have a "roaming" contract with some other provider that has 100% coverage for my country.
The difference between them is in price of UMTS (my provider is like 2 times cheaper). I have set the priority of phone network within windows mobile 6.1 but when the connection is lost for my provider it switches to the "roaming" but never switches back when the network of my provider is available.
Does someone knows how could i resolve this issue? I have coding expirience (16 years of c/c++ of windows development) but i dont know where to start.
Can someone point me to some apis/whatever that would enable me to track who the current provider is and check what are the available providers and finally how to change provider to my original one. Basically i want to write a service that would track the current provider and if changed from my provider scan for its network periodically and change it back when needed although there are some more questions that i am at this time unable to answer (battery consumption etc, i hope the scanning for providers is a passive operation as i dont want to glow in the dark etc.).
Thank you for reading and even more for answering
Nice to see a new version of GSF, wbaw.
I'm with T-Mobile UK and GSF r3 constantly reports the network operator as "T-Mobile" when roaming (to Orange in the UK or to any other operator when out of the country).
SIMs from other operators work fine and show the correct name of the network operator to which I am currently connected.
I was getting this same problem with all previous versions of GSF too, so it isn't something new in r3.
PS. I would have posted this in the main GSF thread but I'm still too new on xda to post there.
It's probably to do with the RIL files, I used the versions from the Finnish Saunalahti rom.
If I use a different version of those files then it causes a more serious problem for people using MVNO networks (virtual network operators that rent their services from a real network) - then it'll always tell them they're roaming even when they're on their home network, so it makes the options to restrict roaming useless.
So it's a 'can't fix / wont fix' bug I'm afraid.
Unfortunately there is no available source code for the parts of the rom that control that behaviour. It's a bug that only ZTE could fix properly (don't hold your breath).
OK. Thanks for the reply and the explanation.
A workaround is to install Phono - this correctly shows the actual Network Operator you are connected to (but it does mean consuming some resources with another application running/installed).
I guess that Phono somehow bypasses the RIL restriction?
Does it cause any real problem other than not showing the correct network name?

Most of the time it doesn't, but I was visiting Cyprus recently, and in several places (e.g. in the capital, Nicosia) you regularly pick up a signal from network operators in northern Cyprus who are not regulated by the EU roaming price caps.
When connected to operators in the south T-Mobile charges 36p to make a call, 11p to receive, sending a text is 10p, and 3G data is 20p/MB. But when you are connected to an operator from the north, it is charged as if you were outside of the EU: making and receiving a call is £1.50, sending a text is 40p, and 3G data is charged at £7.50/MB. Because the network operator is always shown as "T-Mobile" it isn't easy to know to whom you are connected and how much you will be charged.
Roaming close to the border in Cyprus is a fairly extreme case, I admit, but, nevertheless, it is an example of when it matters (financially) to know to whom you are connected. I don't have similar experiences elsewhere to report but this could also be a problem at other EU borders (e.g. Geneva).
KonstaT (developer of Swedish Snow), wondered whether there was any correlation between the operator getprop values reported by the phone and the operator name reported by GSF and the other ROMS based on GSF or using the Saunalahti RIL files. We didn't come to any conclusions but you may find the posts interesting:

I don't know if anybody has noticed it or not but India region code is not present in the list of region codes in advanced wifi settings. This is preventing me from connecting to company wifi network. Is there any way to fix it?

It never bothered me to connect the wifi network. Check if your company wifi is 5 ghz band. If it is then that's the problem. Because Yureka doesn't support 5 GHz wifi band.
Does anybody know a good way to change the wifi country code? I was traveling in Europe recently, and I stayed in a hotel where all of the wifi channels were in European bands not used in the US. I'm looking for a way to change my US Mediapad to accept European wifi channels. I've seen some apk's around that are supposed to do this, but they're all pretty old. It should be possible to do it by modifying a system file.
