Hi Peoples,
I am having a strange issue with my week aged OP3. Initially when when I received the device and put two sim cards I have seen the operator name as "Grameen" whereas my operator name is Grameenphone. However, I did,'t mind. But now recently seeing carrier/operator name showing as GP-Femto | GP-Femto
I would like to know from the community that why I have seen carrier name as "Grameen" and lately "GP-Femto" ?
Same thing for me as well. Suddenly it changed to GP-Femto from Grameen. I've tried resetting the firmware, it still shows GP-Femto.

Hi,
My Artemis is got a strange problem
Its from O2 - Orbit called...
When I'm inserting Orange, Vodafone sim cards I get the error - Sim invalid - fine.. that's means is locked
With O2 is searching for a network but is searching for ever...can't find anything.. when I'm going in Network settings and select manual is saying something about Cannot read setting from network...
With Virgin/Tmobile sim card is finding OK the network and connecting to it but cannot make any phone calls or receive.....
Has anyone had a similar problem? I have tried to send it back to O2 but said they will send me send me a new one... they sent it but I never got it... it got lost in post etc... they didn't ask me to send the faulty one first... I contacted them a lot of times but they don't want to send me another one so I'm stuck with this faulty one.. I have reinstalled windows mobile 5 then upgraded to 6 but I have the same problem...
Did you try out the simcard in another device/phone? If it still fails then just ask for a new one.
yes I tried that sim card and works fine in another phone
also I tried lots of simcards in the xda but none works
I do have somewhat a similar problem. I am using an O2 SIM card on the orbit. A number of times the phone keeps looking for the network. Initially I used to wonder whethe rthe signal is weak - but if I soft reset it (and sometimes takes a couple of times), it finds the network (all bars in the signal) and works OK.
I have changed roms and it hasnt helped.
Since both of you are using the O2 Orbit I guess it must be something with the device. Any chance of finding out when your devices were manufactured?
i have the same problem with htc p3300 - have got signal with some of my sims, but can't make a call - what coul this be? I have 2 devices with these faults!!!
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem on my XDA orbit. O2 and orange sims, just keeps searching for a network with vodafone and t-mobile getting a signal but not allowing calls.
I thought that the phone was locked so I used the IMEI-check web site to download the unlock codes etc. This appeared to run normally, but made no difference to the operation of the phone.
I've done hard and soft re-sets but these make no difference either. The device has rom 3.4.206.2WWE (dated 4/18/07) installed on it and I would need some advice on what to change it to and how to change it.
Thanks for any help that anyone can come up with.
Blocked?
Try updating\upgrading radio ROM. If that does not work then I can only think that the phones have been blocked\barred by the network provider. Try calling them and asking them.
I have been informed that if your orbit is still on contract then it is still under warranty even if it is 2+ years old.
Having a strange problem with my carrier name & hoping to try & get an answer. I think I know why this is happening but I'm not 100% sure.
Well its hard to explain (I have attached some pictures to show the problem) but will it always displays "T-Mobile" even when I'm not connect to T-Mob directly or when im on Airplane mode.
I think this is due to the fact that its running the Stock G2 ROM & when i conect to anything other then T-Mob (Airplane mode, T-Mob & Orange Single sharing etc) it puts the Name there. I have noticed when im using T-Mob only it only displays The T-Mob name once, So I'm thinking the phone must look for what is being displayed & if its "T-Mobile" it merges it/doesn't display it or something.
Well what I'm after is a way to get rid of the extra "T-Mobile" name. Its just a small problem but its annoying me! I've search for how to edit the carrier name & I think I'm on the right path BUT I've got stuck at editing the file as there is no "T-Mobile" listed anywhere in the eri.xml.
Any ideas?
ISSUE RESOLVED
Hi guys, I don't actually own this phone but I'm asking this on behalf of a friend. I've searched everywhere, including google, and have not found an answer.
Recently my friend's phone underwent a weird change. According to him, he was in class one day and had absolutely no service because it was in a basement. When he left the class though, his phone stopped displaying the Verizon name, in both the status bar and everywhere you would normally see it. Instead, it now seems to say that his service provider is Vodafone NL, which according to my research is a Netherlands based phone provider.
We live in NYC though so that's a bit of a problem. He is able to make phone calls sometimes, but he is apparently unable to send or receive texts, and cannot access any data.
He's waiting a day or two to see if it fixes itself, but he intends to take it to Verizon to have them check it out eventually if there's nothing. Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
His phone is completely stock btw, no mods or root or anything.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I managed to resolve it for him by having him switch to CDMA and then having him scan networks for Verizon again. That seemed to fix it. Still no idea what caused it to switch to Vodafone though...
Hi there,
I am new to XDA, have heard a lot about it and hope you guys can help me - apologies in advance if this is an issue with my service provider rather than the phone.
Got my HOX off ebay yesterday, in amazing condition and everything running well. Had to change from a standard orange sim to an EE microsim, so rang up and got that sorted.
The phone is functioning perfectly, however I have one annoying issue to do with the network the phone is displaying that it is on. When you pull down the notification bar, it normally states your network at the top left, on my device instead of finding "Orange" or "EE", I see "@@@@@@..."
Has anyone come across this before, anyone know what is wrong and how I can fix this? I have been in contact with orange and they were frankly, pretty useless. I had the settings resent out to my sim but that hasn't sorted the issue.
I have hopefully attached a couple of screenshots that illustrate my issue, thanks for your help, I can find nothing on the internet about this, just hoping someone else has experienced the same.
HTC One X, International, Tegra 3, All Stock, ics 4.0.4, sense 4.1.
Hi everyone,
I seem to be facing a problem that I haven't found discussed here with my phone.
Following a successful upgrade to Slimbean 4.2.2 build 6 OFFICIAL, everything seems to be working correctly with my Tmobile UK SIM card and I can make or receive calls and texts, I can read the IMEI reference but for some reason my phone number is not displayed anymore in the "about phone" section in Settings or if I use an app like "SIM Card" to read the details of the SIM. I get instead the message "unknown number"
I am not sure if this is a problem or not, so I would like to know if anyone can think of any potential limitation due to this issue.
On top of this, I am about to move abroad and was going to request a code from Tmobile to unlock the phone as I assumed the phone was locked to their network, but when I tried a THREE SIM card, the card was actually accepted and I connected to that network but again the phone number is not displayed in the settings section...
Has anybody seen or heard a similar issue?
I installed a fresh Slimbean ROM from scratch as I was previously running a completely different ROM and I assume it was successful as everything seems to be working.
The only issues I could find in the forum were related to not being able to retrieve the IMEI number after the upgrade, but nothing about the phone number itself.
I would be very grateful if anyone could offer any help or suggestion.
Thank you in advance.
David.
I have noticed the same thing on the official CM 10.1 builds (with both Three UK and giffgaff SIMs), I suspect it is an issue but it's not a real bother to me all it means that any app that auto detects your phone number (eg hangouts) will just ask for it during initial setup instead.
Again the same for the IMEI sometimes this doesn't show up but it does most of the time.

Thanks Hydo1,
I have found a couple of things yesterday.
First, I have been able to add the number manually through the settings menu in the dial pad and it now shows in the "about" section.
Second, I have found out that although my voicemail is setup and active when I call the Tmobile services, it doesn't actually work anymore and I can only guess it is due to this issue as it was working before...
I'll try again once I have switched to a new network abroad...
