[Q] Programatically Set Carrier Settings (APN, MMS etc) - Windows Phone 7 Software Development

Howdy,
I want to make an app that allows users to push a button to program their phone with Carrier Settings. Something similar to the HTC app but with only 3 set carriers to choose from.
Does anyone know how to do this in VB?
Thanks all,
Cru

Mms walkthrough

So a lot of people have noticed that once they upgraded to mango their MMS no longer worked. The following are instructions to get MMS functional again on HTC, LG, and Samsung. I figured out the HTC method and helping others I have found how to do the same thing for LG, and Samsung. I hope this helps others and maybe we stop seeing a new thread everyday on how to fix the MMS settings.
NOTE: Your data plan must be turned on to receive MMS messages. If your plan is turned on and you are still having trouble receiving MMS messages find your device below to get it working again.
Data off = NO MMS / VISUAL VOICEMAIL
Data ON = YES MMS / VISUAL VOICEMAIL
HTC METHOD (This method is for unlocked devices only. I am currently unaware on how to reset the flag on locked devices)
1st: Go To This Post and download the XAP
2nd: Since you are unlocked use whatever program to deploy the app to your phone.
3rd: Once deployed find HTC-ProvXML-Deploy in your app list. Launch it and press the green button. When it is done. Reboot your phone and get a friend to send you an mms. It will now work.
*Side note: Some users have had some success simply downloading the "Connection Setup" app in the HTC apps marketplace. Try this first if you are locked or uncomfortable running a provxml file on your device.
LG METHOD (Works on locked or unlocked as far as I know)
1st: Launch the MFG app (For this you must install the MFG application:
in call menu enter ##634# and press call button. Wait few sec up to 3min during the MFG installation. In the application menu use MFG and enter the password: 277634#*# and press enter)
2nd: Go to the Engineer Menu > Other Setting
3rd: Open the Edit Registry item
- Chose HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE from the 1. drop down
- Enter System\AutoDataConfig for the Input SUB_PATH
- Enter the following four entries for the Input KEY (and chose DWORD instead of String)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AutoDataConfig]
"RunADC"=dword:1
"ConfigurationStatus"=dword:0
"Attempt"=dword:0
"MaxAttemptsAllowed"=dword:3
4th: Hit Query to find the current value
5th: Type in the proper value (if needed) for the Input Data field and hit Set
6th: Hit Query one last time to verify and then reboot.
*Side note: Some users have had some success simply downloading the "Network Settings" app in the LG apps marketplace. Try this first if you are uncomfortable messing with the registry.
SAMSUNG (By far the easiest. Works on Locked and Unlocked devices.
1st: Go to marketplace.
2nd: Go to "Samsung Zone" and download "Network Profile". Run it and reboot phone.
*Side note. Some users have noticed that this doesn't work if Network Profile does not have your carrier. If that be the case then you will need to be unlocked and go to This thread, download Samsung Tools, and run the ADC Option.
I hope this helps!
For LG users, jst download Network settings, a free app available at LG apps in marketplace, select your operator and ur done.
No nd to edit in mfg menu.

I will add that info if it works for some people. I know that "Connection Setup" for HTC users is apparently hit or miss as is the "Network Profile" for Samsung users.
I had MMS problems, but I found out it was because my data needed to be on.
Data off = NO MMS / VISUAL VOICEMAIL
Data ON = YES MMS / VISUAL VOICEMAIL
T-Mobile.

Most people already know this but I will add the information. This is mostly for people like myself and countless others where the data plan was turned on, but MMS messages still would not come through after the upgrade to mango.
Unfortunately this doesn't let you send videos via MMS
unfortunately samsung has recently been trimming apps from their spot on the marketplace, one of which was "network profile." so currently on new samsung devices this is no longer possible.
on a side note, i have been able to send and recieve mms video and pictures longer than i have had a smartphone, mms also works as e-mail, i do not know all carriers but for at&t all you have to do is send the email to [phone number]@att.net, if the recieving phone supports it, it will work. and since wp7 supports email you're good to go. The same works for sending from dumbphones, in the to: field instead of a phone number use an email address.

[Q] Automated tasks with Android

Hi All,
I'm not sure where to ask this question. I'd like to create a script or app that runs in the background, i.e when something occurs I'd like to have certain tasks to be executed.
What I want to accomplish is
1. When my home wifi network connection is completed, I'd like to execute the following.
- Launch and App (Fongo)
- Dial the call forwarding number.
2. When I disconnect from my home wifi
- Cancel the call forwarding number
- Exit App(Fongo)
Does something like this exist? Or would this be too involved just to save a few call minutes a month. This would be useful for people when the get to work and want to forward their number to their work phone or set the ringer to silent when their work wifi is detected. I hate it when the phone rings and you have to dash across the office to turn it off.
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I imagine all the automated apps, like Tasker or Llama or AutomateIT or Locale, could do this.

[Q] SIP account on new firmware 4.3

Dear all,
I have some question related to SIP option on our phone.
I know how to setup, it works quite good for me etc....
But what if I add more than one account? How can I choose the preferred SIP account when I am going to call? In fact if I choose the option to make one of the account the "preferred" one, I will use always that one.
Is there a trick to do on the dialer? Maybe some codes to put before the number we want to call?
Otherwise is useless add more than one account....
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Internet Calling option after Marshmallow?

Hi,
I've recently upgraded to Marshmallow (6.12.401.4) and while everything is working well, I've noticed that on the Internet calling section if you add a SIP account, it no longer gives you an option to prompt if you want to make an internet call anymore.
Does anyone know how to either get this option back (without downgrading) or manually trigger an internet call if I want to make one?
Currently the options look in the attachment. In the past, there was a third option 'Ask for every call'.
Would be great if anyone knows what to do as I require SIP accounts to be used sometimes. Thanks in advance.

Voicemail notification icon has never shown - why?

I have 2 identical LG G4 (AT&T H810) phones that I am using with Straight Talk service. On one of them, I have never received a voicemail notification in the month that I have had it. If I dial in manually, I have messages. On the non-working phone, if I go into the voicemail settings, the "notification sound" option is grayed out. On the working phone, this option is enabled and can be modified.
Any ideas what to check? I am running the stock ROM, currently Android 6.0 build MRA58K.
I have only made one uncommon tweak to the phone. In the dialer app, the "Contacts" tab would ask me to set up AT&T contact backup. I found a way to get around this by the following which I found in a forum somewhere.
On the dialer, dial ##2666## and set "registration" to "completed".
Could this be causing an issue? Could this be an issue with APN settings? Keep in mind that I have 2 identical phones, and one works fine and one does not. I'm not sure where the difference lies.
