Too long operator name?

[nikagl]

Hi all,

See attached, for some reason my operator name is too long. The funny thing is, in Holland, it mentions "NL TELFORT NL TELFORT" or "NL KPN NL TELFORT". I am currently roaming in Lanzarote on the Orange network, and it's "Orange NL TELFORT". I wasn't able to figure out where I can remove "NL TELFORT" from the Operater Name string. Can someone help me? I tried manually adding a new Operator Name, but that only changes the first part of the Operator Name (ie. Orange in attached example).

It's a problem in my S2U2 too btw...(there it causes a real display problem with the lock being inside the operator name)

Regards,

Nika.

Jow broeder ik heb zelfde probleem. 3G NL KPN NL TELFORT.

I realy don't know how to remove it. I believe ivé once read something about a registery key. So you can have your own operator name.

Maar dat is shit. Als jij dan opeens op ander netwerk zit dan merk je dat niet.

So just live with it or set-up your phone to Manual in stead of Automatic.

Hoop dat dit werkt, holla!

Hi xmoo,

Yes, the registry key is:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorName

You can modify your Operator Name, by adding the right strings (20408 and 20412 for KPN and Telfort), but that only changes the part in the beginning (ie. you can make it "xmoo NL TELFORT"). It does not change the last part, which probably comes from the SIM. This was not a problem on the Wizard I owned before...

I also tried changing the following keys:
HKLM\Comm\Cellular\RIL\EONS.cache\spn\ServiceProvi derName
HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name

But these are populated at reboot with the same value (ie. "Orange NL TELFORT").

I have the same problem. I'm sorry to un-burry this topic but did someone found a way to fix it ?

Use the app called personalizer, lite and easy, just install and enter your preferred name.

Has it something to do that orange has been taken over by telford?

Henk-jan, what do you mean? Yes, Telfort has been taken over by KPN, and yes, that's why the operator name is so long, but does that solve the issue? Nope :). Personalizer does, and i've been using it for a while now. The only disadvantage of Personalizer, is that it (the Mortscript script that "is" Personalizer) uses a timeout for checking and re-assigning the Operator, and you therefore may see the old name flash by when you turn on the phone...

I too have this problem, and it only bothered me in s2u2 because the lock would stay below the operator name, making it unable to be read.

What I did was going into the the s2u2 graphics files and on the image that has the lock, I just painted over in black so now it doesn't bother me anymore.

As you can see here, there's no lock and the name displays well

I've tried personalizer, and yes it works, but the problem is that with this script i'm loosing all information if I'm roaming.

For instance when I'm in France
It displays:
"Orange F" (Personalizer changes this to "PersonalizedOperatorName")

Then I'm in Switzerland
It displays:
"Orange F Orange CH" (Personalizer changes this ALSO to "PersonalizedOperatorName")

As I'm crossing the border twice a day, this is very annoying. Is there any way to solve this issue ?

[nikagl]

I guess someone should be able to add an IF statement in the Personalizer Mortscript, something like:

IF OperatorName = InvalidName
THEN OperatorName = NewName

Where InvalidName is the name of the operator you wish to change (in my case "NL TELFORT NL KPN") and where the NewName is the name of the operator that it needs to be changed into (in my case "NL TELFORT").

It will then not overwrite any other operator names, like the ones you get when roaming. If the "InvalidName" is in the new roaming OperatorName, I guess it should be removed too :)

Who could do that?
