Owner information in WinMo 6.5

Seems HTC has removed the basic owner information entry in Windows Mobile 6.5. I looked at Microsofts Windows Phone site and they say it's there..searched my phone and found the icon, but not the place to set it. anyone got this figured out cause I can't register my programs with out it. I'm sure I'm missing something.

hi..Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner\Hide and make the value 0.

There are 2 options.
1. Edit the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner\Hide" to 0.
2. Disable HTC Sense and enable Owner Info plugin in the Today settings. You should then be able to access it via the Today screen.

On the Tilt2, it's located in Start > Settings > Personal > Owner Information.. or am I missing something?

thank you for show the 2nd option, it worked easy and I needed it. Tks

Same here, how stupid to hide this sooo much.....

what's the difference between touchflo3d and sense? and how do i disable them to use the original 6.5 interface? i found that 6.5 uses an average of 70%+ of memory whereas 6.1 used about 10%+ lesser. clearing the memory using htcaddict's cleanram also couldn't get it down to 50%+.

Still having probs with owner info
Hi all - new to this forum. I have some software that needs owner info to be set. I've tried the registry change and soft reset but that changes nothing it seems. I don't have the option of checking an owner info box in today setting so I'm at a loss as to where to go next - any help appreciated#
Peter
PS - I seem to have lost the owner section under control panel in Registry altogether now - what should the entries be please?

Another way to get owner info on HD2
Solved my own problem - there's a "me" entry in the phone book - I put my name in and it had the same effect as setting owner info

Now we get to answer all the questions that were already answered back in October for all the "official" upgraders who just now upgraded. I guess the Search function is just as difficult as flashing a cooked ROM.

There's a much easier and more "standard" way, at least on the official T-Mobile US 6.5 ROM. With TouchFlo, slide to the Settings screen. Check the lower left - you'll see "All Settings" - click this and you will find a bunch of settings (including Owner Info) like you had in 6.1.

Touch Pro2 Registry Edit
Hey all,
I modified my Touch Pro2 registry so that I could enter Owner information. This was done with the following edit to the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner\Hide and make the value 0.
Since I performed this edit I am unable to get SMS messages. I can send fine but when I get messages into my phone I get an error message that says "A problem has occurred with device.exe"
Anyone have any idea what might be causing this. I have performed numerous soft resets but to no avail. I also went back into the registry and returned that value to 1. again no help...
Please...Help

Im having the same problem as well. I put all my info into the ME card and i did the registry thing so now Owner info shows up under Setting > personal but the info there is correct. Yet Smartgear says my machine ID is some random number. check out the pics below

the registry change above didn't work for me (cooked rom i guess)
Here's a workaround that might work for someone someday:
Install SKTools > TOOLS > ABOUT > REGISTRATION > OWNER
on this screen it will realize there's no Owner's info entered and open it for you

No option to toggle between networks?! [SOLVED BUT NEW PROBLEM!!]

Unlocked SGH-I317M - Rooted - CleanRom 4.0.5
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I'm not picking up an LTE signal when a friend on a phone tells me to just toggle to LTE in mobile network settings. The only problem is, that doesn't exist on my phone for some reason. All that appears in my mobile network settings is "Mobile data", "Data roaming", "Access Point Names" and "Network operators"...nothing to switch between networks. Why isn't my device displaying this setting?

Did you used to have LTE? Have you added the proper APN settings for your carrier?

Re: No option to toggle between networks?!
Yeah im running the same rom and my LTE works fine. You probably need to flash the K7 modem. There are no settings to switch. Only aosp roms have that option.
Go here to get the modem you need.

No i had an iPhone 5 previous to my note 2 so no LTE (carrier didn't have LTE for them until just a couple days ago.) I have added the APN settings correctly. There is an option within the APN settings called "bearer" where i have the option to select LTE but when i set it to that, i get no data at all so I have to set it back to "unspecified"

If your carrier only got LTE a few days ago your sim card/plan might not have LTE enabled. That possible in your case?

You are lucky I saw this! I just fixed my settings to reenable LTE like 5 minutes ago.
Here you go.
1. Goto Settings-> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Enter these settings.

thanks anyways! I'm beginning to think that it's the ROM that's causing this issue so I'm going to try and go back to stock. Can somebody help me with this? I'm brand new to androids so I'm not very confident with everything yet. How do I go back to stock while staying rooted? and will doing this make my device carrier locked again or will it remain unlocked? I have already done a nandroid and titanium backup but I'm not sure what the next step is. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it

so since my phone is from Rogers, would i download the Rogers modem even though I'm not using the phone with that carrier? and how do i flash it, with cwm?

In the"phone information" app, go to "device information" (first option) and from there you change the "set preferred network type" to LTE only or whatever you want. You can force lte, force Edge(gsm), basically any combo you want to do is available from this menu.

I download the app called "phone info" as the app "phone information" does't seem to exist. There is no first option called device information. As soon as i open the app, i'm on a page when its just a big list of my phones info

It was my ROM that wasn't giving me the option to chose a network mode. I went back to factory and viola it was there. BUT...no WCDMA/LTE option. Only GSM/HSPA. I've been told that there aren't enough towers to support all of the LTE devices, would this be the cause of LTE not showing up in the network mode? I would think that it would still let me chose LTE and just bump me down to HSPA if it couldn't connect. What're your thoughts guys?

Bump!

What CSC are you using? There are some CSC settings that could hide the "LTE" string in network settings, making it go from LTE/GSM/WCDMA, GSM only, WCDMA only to GSM/WCDA, GSM, WCDMA. That was only cosmetic in my case though. (Been a while since I've run the T889V ROM, I expect the I317M's to be similar in that respect.)

Extended roaming tweak still working on JB

Stock rom does not have national roaming option but the build.prop tweak which does the same thing still works.
Just add these lines to build.prop:
ro.roaming.extended=true
ro.roaming.extended_rule=1
It'd be nice if someone can confirm that this actually does reject foreign networks..

Do you really need to edit build.prop for that? The .197 leak allows national roaming.. Are you sure you're looking in the right place or did they really remove it at the last instance?

It's not where you switch regular roaming on, beyond that I haven't seen any roaming options.

National roaming is something different. It won't connect abroads but does at home. Majority of countries do not have in - country roaming possible if it's not the network you're meant to use. So you can turn national roaming on and not get huge phone bill when apps are updated on business trip but your virtual network operator works fine at home.

Same problem here in Spain with my virtual provider, I was fighting with them to correct the national roaming problem. Now I know this tweak will try in a few days when I can root the mobile.
A lot off thanks!

This "tweak" changes the R of roaming that appears in some countries to H,E,G,...

Nuh-uh. With the build.prop setting in place you do not need to have roaming ticked at all in network settings. IF it rejects networks from other countries then it's same as "national roaming".

I was on eXistenZ at the time I said that there is a national roaming option (should have made a screenshot). Maybe it's because the author bases his apps on Xperia Z. With stock .200 there is indeed only the option to turn roaming on or off.

National roaming tweak is fairly simple, just a few lines of code in framework. Plus the on/off setting bit. Technically tweaked phone "thinks" all the networks from your home country are OK to use and operator side blocks you from using the wrong ones. It was originally created by Cyanogenmod guys. So quite a few ROMs have it.
On the other hand it's surprisingly difficult to find modder who actually knows about compiling android from sources. Majority just add and remove some apps and maybe tweak build.prop. So getting that tweak into your favourite ROM can be rather hard.
So it's entirely plausible someone added that into Sony codebase. In worst case this just removes roaming notification so it'd be nice if someone has a chance to test if mobile data works across border with no warning.

Looks like .96 firmware requires this tweak unlike .200 if you don't want to enable data roaming everywhere.

If you go into the phone settings, there should be a setting called "identify unsaved numbers". Enable that. Profit.
Works great on mine. It may be country dependant though. Not sure if the setting is available on yours.

Hmm, I don't see it on mine either. Mine is the ATT variant.

That sucks. Maybe certain carriers disabled it. I'm on Telus in Canada now and it works, and my previous S7 Edge on Rogers also had the feature. It's awesome.

Perhaps it's on certain models? I'm running a dual sim version on Koodo and I don't have it either..

Maybe that's it. Disabled via software on certain models.

I don't have that option. Instead, I have this payed software installed by T-Mobile by default:

I have the Sprint version of payed caller ID installed on my phone.

The "identify unsaved numbers" is hidden but available in all ROMs. It might not work in your country so they disabled it for you. To get the option do the follwoing:
1. Download Nova Launcher and install it.
2. Once installed, run it and add an activity widget by long pressing on the screen.
3. In the list of activities to choose from (they are in groups by applications) scroll down to the Phone app. There are three Phone apps. Choose the one with the most activities (I had 99 activities in it, you might get less or more)
4. Once you click the Phone app, the list of activities will collapse and if you scroll down touwill find the "Identify unsaved numbers". Click on it to save the widget.
5. Click on the widget and enable the option.
6. Remove Nova Launcher to get back to TW.

Cool. Got it enabled, but it is still not working as it should. Thanks to Sprint for making the phone just a bit worse.

it's showing on the UK variant I just picked up from O2. however I think it has the base firmware on it as it lacked all the O2 bloatware.

Thanks for the Nova guide, ATT user here and I also have that paid ID bs on my phone.

Reading up on it a bit more, it sounds like on some carrier versions, using Nova to enable doesn't change anything. Sounds like there is more involved with it. I have it enabled, but don't see any changes. Also, the local search doesn't work as well. Guess I'll use Google Phone in the meantime... At least i can get local search.

It is installed on the UK Samsung unlocked model.

Cannot edit Samsung S9 APN type to add DUN

Can someone help me understand what is happening.
I have a unlocked Samsung S9 LTE phone with Freedom Mobile in Canada.
i cannot edit my APN Type it just gives me 6 options to choose from.
i want to add DUN to the APN Type but there is no text box to do this.
Someone told me to download ShortCut Master Lite and this can be done.
So i did.
it has all the options but doesn't contain the option com.test.LTEfunctionality
I don't get this and why this is happening.
if someone can shed some light here would be great.
Pzil

Are you sure it doesn't have that setting? Look again closely because it should. As for the APN change I can't find myself in the app, you can do that yourself. Just add a new APN with a different name, duplicating all the settings except one where it says APN type. On that one make it default,mms,DUN Then save the new APN and select it.
Also under MOBILE HOTSPOT AND TETHERING, do you have Mobile Hotspot and Bluetooth tethering enabled?

thanks for your reply.
i understand exactly what to do because i have done it with my previous Samsung phone.
But with this Unlocked Samsung S9 LTE phone there is no option to add new APN type, you must choose from the options.

Yea, you can't edit the default APN but I've never seen a phone that doesn't have an Add option on the previous screen from what you're showing, the main ACCESS POINT NAMES screen.

It beats me. I've pretty much played with the APN on a ton of phones and never seen that dropdown instead of a text box. Maybe that has something to do with that setting not showing up in the app. I guess it's an international version of the S9 and I've never owned anything but US version phones so maybe that's a setting particular to those models.

i have no idea.
i thought my phone was locked so i paid for a service to unlock it.
they come back to me after 2 days and tell me that my phone is already unlocked, so to confirm i put a friends SIM card from another provided and boom, calls are made and confirms my phone is 100% unlocked.
someone must know why this is happening so annoying i just need my phone to be free to do whatever i want.
Anyone ? understand this.
