I did a search before asking and couldn't find anything (at least in the Hermes forums)...
My phone displays "UMTS Cingular"... is there a way to change it to say something else?
Hi
A small change in the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames
Add a string with your operators operatorcode in the Name field, and whatever you like in the String field.
Thanks for that
thanks also for the excellent info but how do u find out the operatorcode of my operator?
im on vodafone uk and my phone displays UMTS vodafone UK.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Andy..
as an addendum to your advice... I don't have a " HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames" in my registry
Thank you,
nice tweak.., for all T-Mobile Germany users operatorcode is 26201
or look here http://www.m-99.co.uk/Mobile_Phone_...ork_Codes/service_provider_network_codes.html

Are you sure? Which prog did you use for browsing the registry?
pronor
I have tried two reg editors to be sure - Mobile reg editor I have found to never have an issue...
In my HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\ directory I have APIInfo and lots of folders numbered 0 - 128
If I go up to my HKLM\comm\cellular\ril\eons.cache\ I have an OPL and a PNN dir
Not sure if that could be it ( using WM6 )
Same here, I want to change that and also do not have a " HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames" in my registry. I am using WM6 also.
@rgreenpc and darktiger
You have to create a new directory "OperatorNames" for example using totalcommander.
still not quite right...
The registry entry successfully changes the Operator Name but the "UMTS " string is still inserted before the new operator name
Is there a way to stop this UMTS string from appearing?
Many thanks,
caruthers
you have to change \HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\
LongnamePrefix=UMTS
here can you write whatever you want eg. 3G
the Key have to set to 1
Enable3GLongNamePrefix=1

I can confirm that this way works. I did this a while back and have had no issues.
That's great - it works perfectly
Many thanks Mosquito and maevro
It used to work for me, and I see the name I have chosen for like 5 secs, but then it switches back to AT&T. Is there something else?
yeah, i tried 3 diff reg editors, phm, ceregedit and one other, never got it to stick once. thats the carrier name. i have however managed to change the 3G name.

Hello fellow T-mobile Dash users running WM6 beta...
As you all know, there is a bug (if that's indeed what it is) in the "smart dialing" capability that inserts "A,B,C" for numeral 2, "D,E,F" for numeral 3, and so on. Numeral 1 is a metacharacter (i.e. typing 1 repeatedly will just select all of your contacts).
I was looking in the registry and found a few keys that look interesting.
They are:
1) HKLM/Security/Phone/PhoneKeyMatch
2) HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/PhoneKeyMatch
There could be others, possibly relating to the keyboard driver being used, or the keyboard layout itself.
it does look interesting....i hope someone is able to do something with it...
I wish someone would be able to look into this and let us know how to fix this issue. thx
i don't think its a big deal. just hold the down key.
i'm sure it will be fixed in the final release. you can't wait a few weeks?
SOLUTION
Here's the fix to the problem... attached to this post (contained inside a zip file)
The registry settings were exported using Resco Registry. You should have that installed to import the settings back to your APP UNLOCKED phone.
I'm pretty sure this problem will be fixed in the final version, as it was a terribly simple solution. Just a few key mappings that needed to be changed.
If you don't have Resco Registry on the smartphone, you can edit the registry with whatever editor you have, and just open up the .reg file in notepad, and make the entries match.
Note that the # key also acts as the wildcard key, so if you type in the first couple of the letters of the first name and then # and then the first couple of the last name, like JO#SMI, it will match John Smith as well. Also, if you are trying to search for something like Ralph using Ra, it will bring up all of the R's, since # also acts as the wildcard character.
Thanks a bunch. Worked like a charm.
Don't forget to reset your phone after you change the keys.

Agh, you beat me to it, I wanted to post the answer first!
Well good job! Not sure if this has been covered yet but you can get rid of the BETA text on the Today Screen by modifying the following registry key"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta]
"Today"="Beta"

Hey - great post! Would you happen to know how to add an additional keyboard layout to WM?
I have not done it my self but it looks like you can easily add a new keymap. Look at the file \windows\eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt. You can't replace that file but you can copy it and save it with a new name. Then go into the registry and find references to that file then change them to match the new file name.
Be prepared to hard reset your device if you screw up, you may loose functionality of your keyboard.
Thanks so much! Made life much easier!

Mario: I'd recommend using a free desktop app called Mobile Registry Editor: http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
This lets you edit your phone's registry using your desktop PC. Replace each of those keys (23, 2A, 31, 32, 33 .. 39) in HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch\KeyboardMappings with the values found in the .reg file Merwin provided.

Hi
Displaying contacts is a pain, It always shows contacts on both Sim and Machine. Am I missing something? Is there a way to just display contacts from either sim or artemis alone?
I hope someone finds a way to do this and quickly as I am about to delete all contacts on my sim as I am sure the time is takes to access the sim contacts slows down the load time of the contacts!???
Am sure there was an option on previous WM5 devices to see either sim or phone is this another incomplete option on this great phone?

Hi there,
if you want to hide SIM contacts first you need a registry editor (for example Resco)! Then search for this entry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim
Normally the value is 1! Set this to 0 and soft reset!
That's all! 'njoy it...

This is a free registry editor!

Did anyone notice a difference when setting this reg key?
I am wondering if it really is equivalent to moving them off the SIM or if it still reads them but just doesn't show them.

You should be able to change the text at this reg location:
HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name
I'm not sure it will stick for any amount of time, as it gets updated by the carrier. I use mortscript to write data(text) to it for viewing in my FeatherWeather app.
Hey thanx Showaco !
Where can i get mortscript ?
And how could i set it up to update the name i usually want ?
Here is MortScript.
Show can help you on the second question
Oké ...
I tryed to make a script and here's a small little template of what i've cooked =)
Code:
contrun=1
while(contrun=1)
RegWriteString( "HKLM","System\State\Phone","Current Operator Name","Cyberflow")
Sleep (5000)
EndWhile
exit
I guess that the "Sleep (5000)" will make it run at all the 5000 milliseconds ?
Is it proprely coded ?
Hope that my questions will help others too =)

yep, should work fine, the sleep 5000 will make it wait the 5000 milliseconds( 5 seconds) and then rewrite the "Cyberflow" again. Just place a lnk into startup folder for it to run when you reboot your device.
Ok guys, i need help.... I saw a LOT of threads regarding this issue, but I think i'm blonde, because i can't seem to make it work.... :-/
I'm with Rogers Canada and I just bought a HTC S620 unlocked with windows moble 6.... I see the number of the person calling, but not his name (and I do pay to get this service)
I know I can make it work by changing the values of the registry key, as I have read a couple of times in other forums, but... this is where i'm totally lost....
I'm on MAC, so I use Missing Sync to synchronize my phone, not Active Sync.... I tried downloading Mobie Registry Editor, as well as PHM Reistry Editor, but it does not seem to work (or i'm not doing the right thing...!)
Can anybody please tell me what i need to do (with a LOT of details LOL)
thanks a lot

Did you imported the contacts from your simcard to the contacts in the phone ?
I think that will help.
Yeah, the name display appears when one of my contact is calling, that's not a problem, but I want to have the name displayed when it's someboby OUTSIDE my contact list who's calling.... The number of the person appears, not his / her name (i do pay for this service and the name did appear with my old phone).... :-/

Your service might not support that so your name will not show up. It only shows up if it is in your contact... Many cell phone providers do not have this option....
Mine does I am 100% sure... and i have read on many forums that since this phone is unlocked and not "officially" supported by Rogers, I need to modify the registry in order for the name to be displayed....
check this thread....http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-367381.html
i just can's seem to figure out how to edit the registry, especially since i'm on mac...

The reg edits you pointed to seems as if no one got it to work anyway from what just read and i did read every link off and more.
This quote seems to make sense:
NotATreoFan:
If it works on the stock Rogers ROM, but not any others, one can conclude Rogers has some special software baked into their OEM ROM.

Actually Stylez I am using Ricky and your Rose 1.5 ROM and Rogers Name Display seems to be working with this version. I was never able to get it to work with the orginal WM 6.1 ROMs but it tis working in the Rose ROM.
For those who don't know Rogers Name Display is basically Caller ID for your cell. It will display the name of the caller even if they are not one of your contacts as long as the Rogers network can figure out who the caller is.

Hi Xavier,
It can be changed as most of the manila files are cooked into rom. You need to ensure you remove read only protection on ur computor, edit using sql lite.... see this post...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4084829&post#9406
Guys, does anyone suffer the same problem I do with using new cities in the db?
I have Dutty's 3.9XT but suspect this is the same for all ROMS. I can add my local city without a problem using the weather database but then I cannot use it as my local time as the timezone is way out. This means that I have to use another original city with the consequence that it is this city's weather that is shown in my calender.
There must be a way to fix the timezone for any added cities given that those in the original db are correct. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Sandy,
Whilst you have added the city correctly, it sounds like you havent changed the timezone whilst adding the city. When using sql lite, look at your city entry and alter the timezone (period is in minutes) to 0 (it is probably set at something like 180 or what ever. Also make sure the msid code is set for 85 for UK.
Alter that and do the usual routine of applying the manila file, soft reset, and voila you should be able to apply it as you should.
Any problems, send tell me your city and i can alter it for you.

Thanks (and apologies for the duplicate post in Dutty's). I was actually asking how to do it in the weather database editor. Never tried SQL Lite. But will give it a go.
OK, tried SQLite and is obviously beyond my capabilities. How do I find my city entry in this? I am no db guy hence the fact that I thought that the weather app would handle this type of thing.

Many thanks for the offer to help but after a further search, I found SQLite Administrator and can now edit the db. Strangely enough, the timezone was correct but the msid was not.
Have successfully changed the settings in the db and my home town now indicates the correct timezone. I can now see the weather correctly in the calender. Many thanks again for your invaluable help on this matter.
