Howdy,
Does anybody know a way to somehow set the default APN in the USBModem_Dialer.exe?
At the moment, everytime I want to dial out - it defaults to "Internet" - which I then have to change every single time... and it certainly doesn't save the last change.
Is there a command line parameter that I can pass to it? Or a reg setting maybe?
Thanks muchly..

I'm trying to use Mobile Registry Editor to modify the registry on my XDA Exec.
The changes appear to be accepted as far as the PC screen is concerned but the changes do not take effect on the Exec. If I restart the registry editor and pull the "modified" registry from the WM device the change is there but the device still works as per the old registry setting.
I've tried a soft reset but that makes no difference.
Can anyone offer any advice please?
Pete
obviously if it doesn't work... u might have put the key value on the wrong section, wrong key value (typo) or the value should be a DWORD, etc but you've inserted a STRING, etc.. value.
that was from my experience..
p/s: what is it that u wanna tweak?, if it's the "Owner Info", u need two values, string value and binary value, then you'll get the changes..
I always use the power button to put the uni in sleep mode. Then wait 2 min. before resetting.
Resetting right away when the device is on will calculate in loss of data such as the last text message(s) not being saved and/or settings.
When the device goes into sleep/hibernate it writes all changes to the memory
I've lost a couple of texts that way.

Please do follow my articles. I've explained in MANY of them that you need to SUSPEND your device before resetting so that the WinCE database and registry changes are flushed back to the flash ROM.
Hi
Thanks for replying.
I don't think I've either put the changes in the wrong sections or put the wrong values in. I've tried changing two relatively simple items just to test the water so to speak. The first is simply to change the text message "message sent" text. For that I went to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS\MessageSent
and changed the string value from "Message Sent" to "Message Delivered"
The second was to change the phone ring characteristics by going to:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script
and changing the value to (string) ap100w2r (activate, play at 100% vol, wait 2secs and repeat).
The values are still there in the XDA's registry but the behaviour is still at default?

Hi
By suspend you mean turn off with the power button, wait 2 mins then reset? Yes?
I did this and still no joy.

I have had regular phones that were able to auto update their clock based on the network tower's time. I can't find a way to make this PDA phone do it.
I read in the wizards section about editing the "ShowTimeZonesPage" in the registry to show an extra tab in the phone settings page. I changed it accordingly and still no extra tab like they have, even after a soft reset.
Anyone have a way to do this?
i believe u are using a HTC wizard. If you go into the phone options and then go into the Time zone and check the option to synchronize. After that everytime the timezone changes it should synchronize .
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Satya
Sorry, I should have specified what I am using. I am using a Dopod P800W. I found the registry tweak in the Wizard section and thought I would give it a shot to see if it would work -- it doesn't. Even though I do have that entry in my registry and it was originally set to "0", when I set it to "1" nothing happens.
You can use a program called GPS2Blue to set the time by the GPS clocks, but it is not automatic.
i use sp time sync
http://www.spdialer.com/timesync/
i think you can set up auto sync but don't quote me on that!
word of yowarning, it uses a data connection to update the time.
hope that helps,

After flashing with several wm6 roms, the time on my Hermes gets set to an incorrect value when I connect to activesync. I never had this problem with the stock wm5 OS. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this?
just chose the correct GMT area from time icon
Either the time on your PC is wrong (but I guess you would've noticed this!) or the time zones don't match. Try double clicking on your PC's time and compare it to the time zone tab on your phone (under Settings, Clock and Alarms).
Other than that, sorry - no idea!

I checked the time on my PC is not wrong. The time zone on my phone is correct as well. I never had this problem with the stock wm5 that came with the phone. I'm wondering if it has something to do with using a non Cingular rom??
I got the same problem but I realized that it was not an activesync behaviour. I got active the automatic Hour and TimeZone change in the Phone settings and Spanish Orange got an incorrect zone set, so, every time I start my phone, my timezone changes...
Try to uncheck this parameter in the Phone settings, TimeZone tab.

I can't find where to uncheck automatic Hour and TimeZone change. I looked in "Clock & Alarms" under System settings and "Phone" in the Personal settings tab.

It's supposed to be a tab under "Phone" in personal settings tab, but showing it or not depends on a registry value. You may download the HTCustom tweaker from here:
http://shadowmite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2231&p=7890#p7890
Install it and set on the showing of the TimeZone tab in order to check if it's active or not.

Thanks for the info. automatic change time zone and clock was allready disabled so I guess thats not the problem. However I did find that enabling automatic change time zone and clock and then doing a soft reset changed my clock back to the right time.
You may got another option. In your PC (not in your pocket PC) look for this registry Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\xxxxxxxxx\Services\Synchronization
And change the value:
Sync Time on Dock
from 1 to 0. It will disable the activesync change of the Pocket PC time...
xxxxxxxxx is the ID of your partnership with the Pocket PC
Remember to restart activesync after the change.
Here you got more info: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms834164.aspx
Problem resolved
Thanks for all your help VivaErBetis. The registry change you suggested fixed everything.
Hi All,
Searched high and low but can't find the answer and I'm a complete newb.
I have two small problems with my unlcoked AT&T HTC Tilt 2
1. After trying numerous radios 'my location' still does not update in the weather feature (currently using vers 4.48.25.20), just hangs then with USB I get 'connection error' message
2.Time stamps on SMS and MMS are way out of whack with when messages were actually sent or recieved.
Useing NRGZ8's ROM version 21.FEB.2010 WWE. I'm in AUST
Any help appreciated
Steve
1. Why are you getting a usb error when using weather?
2. Are your time zone and dst settings correct in settings-clocks and alarms?
If so then try this reg edit:
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\
set the value for TrustTimeZoneField to 0 (decimal)
If that key isn't there, then go ahead and create it and soft reset.

Thanks fone_fanatic,
1.No idea why I'm getting a 'connection error' when the USB is connected and I try to update location or even if/how it's related. I've since tried another Radio (4.49.25.05) and found in another thread that I need to have wifi enabled even if not connected...that seems to work..for now.
2. All settings are correct, looked at reg edit and seems that I need to create Trust time zone bit as you suggest...beyond me at the moment so I'll read more on reg edits.
thanks for your help
oh so you had the device plugged in via USB and were trying to update weather/location while its plugged in.
Yeah, activesync/device center will kill your data connection when connected to the device unless you change the settings.
as for reg edits. They're quite easy, not too much harm can be done, unless your just browsing through the registry and changing/deleting values that you don't know what they do.
Don't let it intimidate you.
a popular free registy editor is PHM registy Editor or Total Commander (which is also a powerful file explorer)
Whichever reg editor you use, simply browse to the folder (folders in the registry are called keys)
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\"
then create a new "Dword Value" and name it "TrustTimeZoneField" and give it a value of 0
exit it out, Soft Reset (generally a good idea to soft reset after editing the registry) and you should be golden.
Also there is a cab floating around, just can't find it at the moment, that adds the value for you, search for Message Time stamp and it you might find it.
best of luck
regedit worked for me, also try searching for "text message driving me crazy" it has the cab file i believe.
So I successfully rooted and updated my phone through the method found in this post, but now I can't set any sort of APN definitions.
After I fill in all the configuration of my carrier, I press "Save" and... nothing. All I see is an empty screen with "APNs" written on top. Things I've tried thus far, with no success:
- Use the "Download settings for Internet and MMS" service (it tells me to go Sony Ericsson's site instead);
- Add an entry to the file "/system/etc/apns-conf.xml" (saves normally but nothing happens).
Does anybody know how to configure and activate APNs manually (i.e. without using the Settings menu)? Any other tip? I would be very grateful...
Progress... I've downloaded "APN Manager", and it allows me to see all the APNs I've added and supposedly weren't saved.
But now I don't know how to activate them... Using the "activate" function on the app doesn't work.
Help?
Problem half-solved.
If anybody cares, apparently it has to do with my old sim card and the way Android deals with APN settings - if the MCC and MNC numbers don't match between a profile and the sim card, that profile won't show up. Apparently my old sim card has some different values, because the newer ones work just fine...
