Wizard showing wrong network name with Qtek 2.17.7.2 WWE ROM

[cd42]

Since i updated to the new Qtek 2.17.7.2 WWE ROM my Wizard seems to be convinced that i'm connected to Proximus BE network instead of T-Mobile NL network. Now i'm quite sure my Wizard hasn't got enough power to reach Belgium from where i live so i must be connected to the T-Mobile network. Also when i search for networks from the phone settings i also get to see the T-Mobile network instead of Proximus.

Does anybody know what the problem could be and where i can change the name of the network?

Besides that little but annoying problem the ROM seems a huge improvement.

Thanks,
Chris

There is a registry key that allows you to show any text in the dialer based on the network id's.
Use a registry editor to search for the text you see (literally).
Simply remove the key and the dialer should show the text that is sent over the network.
If you cant find the text in registry . . . .no clue
(I once posted a reply on a thread in the Himalaya section on this)

I thought it interesting that the QTek rom told me I was connected to "Get More..." when every other ROM I've used all tell me I'm connected to "T-Mobile". At least they both reference the same company!

I just thought of another way you could see another network in the dialer as the network name youre really connected to.
In the \windows folder there can be a carrielogo.gif file.
If it exists (and it does on T-Mobile roms) you will never see the actual network name in the dialer but the contents of the carrierlogo.gif file (which is obviously a logo of the operator that distributed the rom).
there are threads on this to find but basically you can only do one thing here: copy the carrierlogo.gif file (using totalcommander) to you PC, erase the contents (or put in your own picture) and copy it back (ignore the rom file warning).
afaik the Qtek and iMate roms do not have a carrierlogo.gif file.
T-Mobile roms do have one, not sure about O2 or Vodafone.

I found exactly one reference to the Proximus string in the State part of the registry. After i changed it to T-Mobile all the screens showed T-Mobile, but after a reset or a reconnect to the GSM network it changes back to Proximus. Really weird because the scan network screen shows the correct name after scanning. Strange bug, but i seem to be the only one that has got it. Oh well, that's life (with software). ;)

On mine through a process of elimination I determined that the T-Mobile customization file: Signed_GPRS-stall_Wizard_TMOUS_DEC20.CAB was causing the wrong carrier to show up.
