Wrong mobile carrier name while roaming

[amir77a]

I'm Usually using Orange as my carrier.

I'm currently in Hungary, where there are 3 different mobile carriers. somehow, when I wish to know to which mobile carrier I'm currently roaming into, I'm always getting... "Orange" which is impossible ofcourse.

I'm using AX3L 3.0.8 ROM with Radio 1.50.X.X

Any idea what is wrong?

I am using AX3L 3.1.1 Lite, and its the same.

I am stuck with my home network name, where ever I roam to.

But at the the triangle icon appears on the top to tell me that I am roaming.

I have to do manual select to ensure that I get on the preferred network.

I am using 3.1.2 with Radio rom 1.50.x , I have similer problem, I have problem when using it at main land china with a China Mobile sim card, I can send and receive SMS, and dial out voice call but cannot receive voice call ? Why ? But I have test it in Hongkong with a 3 ( dual band ) sim card, and it works fine ...

try this patch....(soft-reset after install!)

 

[amir77a]

it didn't solve the problem

I installed the patch, the problem remains. I'm Still with impossible Orange carrier.

Update: The same problems exists also with MARY 3.1 ROM.

Is it only happening to me?

Another update: On HTC Original WM5 ROM it's OK. So something in the cooked ROMS is not good.

wrong operator name

After days playing with registry editor, I got my phone showing the name of the local roaming operator (A1) followed by orange. The bad news is that I do not know how I achieved that. Just before the miracle happened I was playing with the phone options, changing manually the carrier, and that's it... I have no idea.
I have a self coocked ROM by Pandora (5.2.1622 build 18128.0.4.4) and radio 1.54.07.00 on my Hermes. the sim is from Orange SK.

I would like to see a fix for this too, very irritating when you don't know which operator you're using. Same problem here with ADW 1.1 rom...

Hi, I'm with AX3L_WM6_WWE_v3.1.1 LITE and I have also the same problem, when I was in roaming. Any idea?

Solution anyone?

To enable the correct names change:
HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/Enable3GLongNamePrefix=1
HKLM/Software/OEM/RIL/ShowSPNOnly=0
HKLM/Software/OEM/RIL/ShowSPN=0
(thanks to Mosquito)

I'll go abroad and in roaming in two days, but if anyone gives me a real feedback on this 'till then, I'd appreciate

I just checked, with the AX3L 312 full rom, it is now showing the correct carrier when roaming after this fix. Thanks.

 

[amir77a]

I can't check, since I will not roam for the near future, but thanks anyway.

Thanks a lot for this, this is something that should be tweaked in every rom before cooked.

Here's a quick explanation of things:

HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/LongNamePrefix
(REG_DWORD)
this value is usually set to "UMTS" or "3G"

HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/Enable3GLongNamePrefix
(REG_SZ)
This one is for displaying (value=1) or hiding (value=0) the LongNamePrefix in front of the operator name, ie.: UMTS Vodafone

HKLM/Software/OEM/RIL/ShowSPNOnly=0
(REG_DWORD)
This one I believe reffers to showing service provider network only.

HKLM/Software/OEM/RIL/ShowSPN=0
(REG_DWORD)
This one I believe reffers to showing service provider network.

HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/ONSDisplayRule
(REG_DWORD)
This is responsible for SIM provider name overriding other settings. Basically the device uses the operator names stored on SIM card rather than the ones over the air.

Bottom line: for correct operator name display, these are the settings to use:
HKLM/Software/OEM/RIL/ShowSPNOnly=0
HKLM/Software/OEM/RIL/ShowSPN=0
HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/ONSDisplayRule=0

P.S.: Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong!
