Hi All,
I would like to supply XDA's to a client, who plans on using them
for GPRS only. They do not want their workers to have the ability
to use them as Phones. Is there any way of removing the Phone
Dialer App (from ROM or otherwise), so that they couldn't key in
a phone number?
The only option I can think of is Kiosk mode with that SP Kiosk
App?

On any SIM you can block selected outgoing calls.... Check on the options your phonecompany gives you.
Maybe you could lock the SIM to only allow dialing out to phonenr. stored on the SIMcard itself (being zero, for example )
Thanks the reply,
I'd rather remove the ability to phone because I would rather
the end user didn't even know it was a phone. The SIM Lock
option isn't a bad idea, but they could stick other SIM cards in
it, which our customer does not want.

Not with a sim-lock and even then, they are calling at their own cost...
If you block it on the XDA, it can be hacked on the XDA, make it SIM-Dependant... A hardreset wil alway restore the phoneapplication. Only way would be to create a own rom without phoneoptions.
And still they wil be able to hack it, by installing phonesoftware, or installing their own ROM... Read this forum :mrgreen:
Again : If you block it on the XDA, it can be hacked on the XDA...

I thought that, if a guy is smarter enough to know how to use it and to know its has GPRS, then he would know it is a phone.

You can edit ROM and remove cprog.exe application. Just use any hex editor to change its name to something like "lalala.la". But a clever user would take this file from another ROM and install to their device. Or would reflash the device.

Bit difficult - the start call and end call buttons will be a bit of a give-away!
I agree with the others that a modified ROM is probably the easiest/cheapest way - simply remove the phone app and even a hard-reset won't restore it but this won't stop the bright user from mod'ing the ROM himself.
Howdy folks,
I used to use WiViT SIM Status Switcher with my Magician, which worked well.
I would like a similar application for WM5. (WiViT SSS will not install on my Wizard)
Does anyone know of such an app that will work with WM5?
try this
it is a slight variaTION AND works with WM5 devices. i use it on the EXEC.
great stuff thanks ! i'll give it a shot
SSS does install now, thanks. But how about the license. The code you were given wont work on a different device. . . .
Just had contact with one of the Wivit developers.
A WM5 version is planned.
Just give these guys some more time.
I installed the download link on my mda II, but I can not start the application, does anyone has a function version / software for switching in WM5?
Does anyone know where I can buy a dual sim adapter for the Wizard (XDA Mini S) please? I don't want one where you have to cut up the SIM.
Thanks in advance.

It's a today item which has to be enabled from within settings
Next version STK compatible?
Hi,
I use a dual sim solution where you have to cut your sims.
This worked fine, and the new dual card seemed to work.
It even made a new entry in my program group called "Hypercard"
I didn't had time to fully check it out, but that program is gone after shut down the device or do a soft reset..
Any way to get it back?
I also tried Wivit Sim Status Switcher, but only the cab i found here (Sim Switcher.cab) worked, although i had to manually edit the registry to reflect my Dutch ROM. (Program Files to Programmabestanden)
It would be great if someone could create a Dutch cab or could tell me how to edit..
It doesn't seem to switch the SIM's though.. Possibly because i run WM5 or because the adapter uses STK? (Sometimes it just dissapears from Today/Vandaag screen..)
I really hope Wivit's next version is STK, WM5 compatible. (and multilangual?)
Thanks,

This version of the sim-switcher works great with my mai-12 dual sim.
One glitch though: after switching, the operator is not shown anymore. The software only says Registering...

Hmm, I found out how to get it back:
Disable in your settings / today / items the Sim Status Switcher
exit the settings screens until you're back in the today screen.
Enable the Sim Status Switcher again in your settings, and voila: There is your operator again.
:shock: ???

Guys,
I've updated VJVolubilis to control the phone radio. I've put in a function to toggle the radio on and off, so for me, launching it twice will switch my dual sim. It should work on WM5, but I've only tested it on the emulator. Could I ask if anyone gets a chance, just to give it a quick go?

I cant get rid of the 'registering' . . . .
Like mentioned earlier in the topic:
Just disable/enable the plugin in the Today screen settings, it should work ok then.
I still hope the soon start replying to their mail..
They asked me to beta test and translate to Dutch, so i send them a Dutch copy of SSS, but haven't heard from them yet..

Irritated the hell out of me.
The Languange file is just a text file, choose you language and just edit the text. I replaced it with ablank space
B.t.w. I still can't use it to switch SIMS, I need to go to the STK, switch and then turn the GSM function off and back on again. Anyone knows witch DUAL sim adapter handles V1 and V2 sims and can be used with WiViT's switcher?
Thanks, cheers,
cacti
le_cactus: have you tried VJVolubilis? I use a dual sim that uses fight mode to switch. VJVolubilis hopefully works on WM5 and Wm2003 to switch sims this way.

Hi Guys,.
Is there such an app that would allow me to swap out my work sim to my own sim on an evening.
I.e. I would like an app that detects what operator sim I am using and automatically choose the correct profile for gprs, mms and sms.
Using Voda for work and O2 payg for personal.
a plugin would be nice that just swaps the operator setiings over.
I am not over bothered about having a dual sim as changing it over manually is easy enough. Just want an easy way to swap the connection settings over.
Just a footnote I recently re flashed to latest T-Mobile rom and needed to run an app that required Compact framework 2.0. It ran like a bag of Sh**e. Dropped back to the o2 rom and everything cool and groovy.
Answer my prayers brothers of the mobil revolution
SVP M2000
O2 1.40
O2 ext rom
O2 plus (its cool and groovy.
Radio 1.15
You are looking for a combination of a dual-SIM adapter and the Wivit SSS software.
The Dual SIM adapter holds two sims. The active SIM can be switched by switching off & on the GSM radio (or by going into and out of flight mode).
Just for this purpose SSS (see wivit.com) was developed. It lets you switch sims and show (on today) the active sim (by its phone number).
One thing: SSS is currently not reliable om WM5 (I have used it for more than a year on my Himalaya and am very confident.
Thanks for your reply
Had a quick play with this, however it only changes the operator. I need something that will auto detect the correct operator settings for GPRS MMS etc.
Not really bothered about running the 2 sims at the same time. ]

dw1991: to tell you the truth, the easiest way is just to carry a .cab file with the settings for each operator. One click and it's installed.
I keep one for Orange PAYG, one for O2 contract. I know you don't need it, but I use a cut dual sim on my Magician and never had any problems with this solution.
An autodetecting system could be written, but it'd be over-egging it a bit compared to 2 shortcuts to the .cabs, in a folder on your start menu.

Last year I discussed this with the Wivit guys. They planned switching active GPRS network settings linked to SIM switching in some next version of their SSS. Nother was released however since their first 1.0 build. (also i havent seen these guys on this forum for a long time). Pity
Re Cab files
I tried this solution also. Howeve when I double click the cab file on the device it dissappears. Do I have to copy these file across every time |I sync
This cab has some regedits in it that will prevent the .cab files from being deleted after you execute them.
making the CAB's readponly beforehand also solves this!
That's what I want to do!

Hi, vijay555!
I also use 2 SIM cards from different operators in my Excalibur / Dash / HTC S621 and I want to me cabs for changing the connection settings (gprs/mms/wap) more easily.
Can you help me doing that? I use brasilian operators VIVO and Claro (if you find easier making the cabs than explaining how to I can post the settings latter on )
BTW, I use one of the latest Ricky/Kavana 6.1 ROM.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
Howdy,
Is it possible for one of you programming wizkids to get line 2 working?
I think that it is only Orange that supports this, and I know that the older version of the OS did to, but not the newer ones.
Its a real pain, I am having to forward the calls to the other line, and, of course, cannt dial out on it.
Thanks,
Simon.

Everything is easy if you know how; a link would have been more useful.
I found a program called Sim Switcher that seems to do it. Is this the Sim Toolkit that you were refering to?
On orange you have the ability to have two different numbers on one sim, the second is called Line2.
I am talking of the Sim type of that of Orange which u hv mentioned..2 nos on 1 sim...and can be changed from the options available in SIM tool kit ..which comes in the form of Orange Live....etc etc..this can be very well seen in the Programs Menu of our PPC...
I think that hdubli is referring to the SIM manager, which is installed on Orange phones under programs/accessories
Thats what I thought, but in Sim manager there are no options to switch lines. Just the ability to add phone numbers, which I have done.
Still nothing.
Thanks for the help.
Hi -
I've had my HTC HD2 for a few days now, and I'll be putting my sim card in and switching to full use from tomorrow. My network is Vodafone UK. I just had a few questions and would really appreciate if someone could answer? I have already got through the main stickies and done some tweaks by the way.
1. Vodafone haven't released any official updates for the firmware themselves, and HTC doesn't allow Vodafone UK users to download them of their own website (other than hotfixes). So I just wanted to know, what am I missing out on by being stuck on the original firmware that the phone came with? DO the official updates make a big difference?
2. Auto-rotate seems to only work on some applications. Can I get it working on the home screen and ALL applications?
3. What can I do to improve my typing? I've set it to T9 and I'm slowly adjusting to it but it's still quite slow. Also, when is there anyway to automatically improve grammar? For example when I start sentences they do not automatically start with a capital letter and I have to do that manually...
4. I get an error with the camera/camcorder if Opera 10 Beta is installed. The camera will only work when it's uninstalled. Is there anything I can do to get around this?
5. Any must-have applications/games?
6. Is there anyway I can edit the registry on the HD2 through my PC?
Thank you!
I think if you search ... you will get the answer for most of your questions
1. Official Updates Makes the operating system more stable.... i upgraded to 1.48 and its much more stable.
2. you can add almost all programs to autorotate using BSB tweak (except home screen)
3. Typing is a universal problem ... search and you will find several topics and tweaks
4. Havent tried opera 10 yet... as it doesnt support pinch to zoom (multitouch)...
5. Must have apps (Skyfire.. wayyyyy faster than opera)
must have games (experiment 13, and xtract) both available to download on xda...

Also I can't find the setting to disable vibration while typing. Any ideas?
And also, any answer to question 6 which I just added?
Thanks

Refer to tips thread:

3. There are tips in the above thread. Phone will auto-capitalize after a full stop. Pressing space 2 times will put a . and then a space.
6. Not that I know of.

1.Yes. Gold card. I haven't done it, but browse this forum, there are plenty instructions.
2.Start button > Settings > Personalize (1st option) > Vibration
Translated from PT menus so names might not be accurate.

Sorted out the vibration now.
Regarding the gold card and changing the ROM... how would I pick a ROM to change to? And also, if I do change ROMS will I lose all my data?

You will loose all data. Backup first.
There are ROMs for all tastes. Like picking a wallpaper, you must choose one yourself.
My advice would be, install the HTC original ROM (1.48).

Thank you. What is the recommended way of backing up before updating ROM?
Also, will updating to the official ROM include the radio ROM too or would I have to do that separately?
And finally... how would I download the official ROM still, even after gold card, surely the phone would still have a Vodafone serial number?
The Radio is probably not included in the rom.
You can download the rom from HTC site.
Ways to backup? Active Sync, MyPhone, GMail, etc (I use gmail for contacts and calendar for e.g. and do the rest by hand)
