Get rid of operator "Get More..." on T-Mobile USA

I'm running the new "HTC_WWE_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship" and my operator comes up as "Get More..." Which is pretty lame. Anyone figured out a way to change this? My digging through the registry turned up nil.
Help?

Chances are, no. It's a feature of the SIM card to be able to hold custom names that the operator wants to display. It's called EONS (Enhanced Operator Name Service, I believe). There's no way that I know of to tell WM to ignore it.

Well shoot, now i'm stumped. On the t-mob ship roms it came up fine. The HTC rom says Get More..., strange. I also have a t-mob wing (herald) and the touch-it rom said the same thing (Get More...).
This seems to be something common with roms designed for markets other than north america. Thanx for the input.

good luck. Worked for me. Might have to play around with it to get it to work. You don't have to reboot the whole phone to show the new network name. just go into the communications manager and hit 1 (or turn off phone) then re-enable it)

It works but switches back whenever u soft reset. I don't see the big deal to be honest.

not a big deal because it is not happening with you.
i was wondering if we can somehow edit the operator's name into something else. like.. "blah is blah"

Click the link in the 4th post. It explains how to change the operators name.

Frustration adding my Vogue to MetroPCS

Okay so I had my Vogue on Sprint with NFS latest 6.5 rom... but then I got a new phone and decided to give my Vogue to my girlfriend. She went to take it to Metro for "metroflash" and they couldn't do it.. So I started researching and found out i needed to put it on stock rom to relock it, so i did... I took it to another Metro store for "metroflash" and the same problem occurs... The metro rep said she does not know why it is giving me the problem... Is there something i'm missing?
Thanks
p.s. so far metro pcs fails

It could just be the Metro market/area. If they are like cricket they won't flash it if you're in an AWS only market. Like Las Vegas.

That's not what it is. It is actually rather simple... if I am not mistaken, NFS's rom is generic and if you do not have a carrier cab installed, you will not be able to access the EPST settings that need to be changed to "flash" a phone to Metro. You can do it in one of two ways:
1. Take your device back to stock and take it to a metro store to get it programmed there. You can flash it to another rom afterwards if you want to.
2. Do the programming yourself. There is really very little that needs to be done in order to program this phone by hand. You will need some parameters from Metro, namely the MIN, the phone number (or MSD). Other than that, you may be ok since that is all that is needed to get the phone in the network. They will still need to add your ESN number to your gf's account since they associate it with the phone number.
Good luck!

That is a possible solution but Metro will still need to do a Metro flash to enter the ESN through houdinisoft and if it is an AWS market like Vegas their system will error knowing the phone will not operate on AWS frequencies That is where the problems come in for some people.

I'm in miami, fl so I'm not sure if it's AWS... And I've done the first step thunder said. I took it with a stock rom. The latest from htc site too. I'm gonna see if I take it with a generic rom and a metro carrier cab I found. I'm gonna update you guys on this. Thanks!!!

I am in Miami too, so don't worry about the AWS thing. I did the programming of the NAM by hand and it is working fine. They should be able to figure it out with 6.1.

Actually that is only to be able to use web and mms on Metro and not for flashing a phone to Metro. Although he will need it afterwards...

Take it to a Sprint store and have them add it in. I don't think Sprint charges you for that. Alternatively, you can grab the E$N of a Sprint phone that is not black-listed and transfer it to your Vogue. However, this is an illegal practice and you will not find instructions in here on how to do that. Besides, you will still need to contact Sprint to have the E$N associated to your account anyways.

unlocked T-mobile - to - AT&T HELP PLEASE!

I bought an unlocked HTC touch pro 2 that was with T-mobile.
I have AT&T. My phone works good for calls and text messaging but the data plan does not work.
I called AT&T and they cant help me.
I called HTC..can't help me.
They both said to call T-Mobile and ask them to reset the data options because my phone is trying to read off of the T-mobile options but what that amounts to is that they just don't know what they are talking about.
My friend said this site will have the answer!
Can anyone..please..point me in the right direction on how to set up my phone so I can use the data plan for AT&T or am I screwed??
I am new at this so I don't understand the lingo but..do I need to flash a rom on my phone to kind of wipe it clean of T-Mobile and start fresh or what??
Please help me!!

Ok...I have done some digging on this site and I just wanna be clear. It looks like my phone wont work with the 3g network...and I'm ok with that...but my phone has NO internet at all and thats what I'm trying to fix.It also looks like I can fix my problem...just need a push in the right direction..please??

If you flash a new ROM, they all come with a little program that runs in the begining to provision the phone with this info... Might be easier....

ok..thanks alot..i have the internet now.
one problem..those instructions don't help me with sending or recieving picture messages. I can't follow them to get me to where it fixes that for an htc touch pro 2...any ideas?

Are you looking in the registry at your arcsoft settings?

My understanding is that the T-Mobile phone has different hardware modem. It will not work with the AT & T 3G network. Sorry, there is no way I know of to fix this. The two carriers use different technology for 3G.
However, it should work with the EDGE network on AT&T. You will need tech support from AT&T - ask them what settings need to be entered in the connection manager to get the device to work with EDGE. Your phone has settings for "T-Mobile Data" in the Comm Manager. You need to delete that and enter the AT&T settings.
Also, VERY IMPORTANT, you need to go to the phone screen (where you dial calls), bring up the options, and set it to operate ONLY on 2G networks. Otherwise I think the T-Mobile 3G modem may interfere with your EDGE data.
BTW, have you asked T-Mobile about getting a Tilt 2? This is the same phone. You could resell your unlocked T-Mobile TP2 on ebay and recoup a lot of the costs. This would be the best option, since you could then get 3G coverage.

I would like to do this then...any suggestions on which rom i should use and how to do it..i appreciate all the help

all custom roms should have a provision cab or program. You will need to unlock your phone first. Look in the rom dev section

Data connection after unlock ATT

In your cellular settings you will have to add the apn data to get the data going.
Can't help much more without knowing your provider.
Helps to download the Nokia Connections app.

If you are using it on other carriers, you will need to configure the APN. There are two ways to do it;
1. You can maunally add the APN of your carrier to the phone but you will not get MMS working.
2. You need an app called Network Setup from Nokia to switch the connections to your carrier if it is in the list. This will switch both data connection and MMS.

We're glad to have you here with us. Our world is much better, and has a far more promising future.
//Side-note// That little green thing is supposed to be an android? How? It looks more like a little green trash can or MAYBE an alien...
android (plural androids) + Noun
A robot that is designed to look and act like a human (usually male)
That thing looks like a human? Google has NO reason that they weren't able to do a search to make sure they knew what the word android meant... I mean, I guess it's a bit ironic... But that little green trash can is NOT an android.

Dont get me wrong, i like android, it has some features that complement me much better, i just wanted a phone that works and the lumia 900 works and looks great. My old lg optimus 2x just had crap for support and the OS that LG created was very buggy. Maybe someday i'll return to android but i wanted something that is smoother. so far so good.

Oh, to be clear, I like Android too... I was just pointing out that the little green thing isn't really an android by definition... I may have been inebriated at the time I posted that ;\

[Q] Verizon phone user in China

Courtesy of a very good deal while I was in the USA, I was able to pick up an HTC One M8 for $100. Seemed like a great deal for my first Android phone running 4.4.2. Talked with their support people, to guarantee it wasn't locked, confirmed that with a couple of web sites, then bit the bullet. Now I am back in China, using China Telecom, which is compatible with respect to data transmission, and both voice and SMS works fine.
But data, with a 4G SIM, doesn't work at all. Nor does 3G, or 2G. Oh yes, we have no chickens (G in Mandarin sounds like 'ji', which means chicken). Investigating things, it seems that this is because in trying to configure the phone APN for China Telecom, there is a required field which Verizon doesn't display: PPP. Without a way to set up PPP field to #777, there is no way to get the phone to talk China Telecom's network. Additionally, even when I try to save the APN information, it resets fields like MNC (CT requires 03) back to the Verizon value of 11. WTF? Obviously, it is time for me to venture into the world of a custom ROM, since that might make all the things I need visible. Decided to go with Android Revolution ROM.
I rooted my device with Weaksauce, downloaded all the required files, and was looking into custom recovery when Verizon pushed to me that an upgrade for my phone was available (4.4.3). Decided WTH, maybe that will expose the PPP entry that I need.
Nope, Weaksauce no longer works (and I didn't get to the point of S_off before that happened). the APN menu is now completely locked (with no ability to change anything or create new APN entries), and now I am concerned that Verizon has hosed my ability to get this phone working in China as anything other than a wi-fi capable data machine.
As a first timer delving into this world, I would appreciate some quick pointers to make sure I am going in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
If you can read Chinese, the settings are supposed to be as follows for the APN:
名称：中国电信互联网设置CTNET (也可以用自己喜欢的)
APN:ctnet
代理：(未设置)
端口：(未设置)
用户名：[email protected]
密码：vnet.mobi
