I'm running the 2.4 ROM and I was wondering is there a REG setting to add back TMO's password lock dial PAD? I rarely lock my device now because either need to use the keypad or peck it out on the keyboard app (which I often have to reattempt due to the small numbers).
Not sure what TMO lock thing you are refering about.
Anyway, I presume TMO is tmobile, and the lock thing seems to come from Tmobile. And if so, you should be able to find it on the original ext rom. The problem will be deciding(guessing) which CAB is responsible for the software.

Well, every where i go it seems to tell me that this is the place to get my questions answered about this device, so excuse me if i start a repeat thread. ( i searched and found nothing that answered my questions so far)
i have a cingular 8125 with 2.25 ROM, it seems, and use T-Mobile service. I have already unlocked the SIM lock using Lokiwiz MSL, (thanks!) and the voice and text messaging works perfectly, however obviously no data and MMS setting are loaded for T-Mo usage. I have looked and looked for places to apply the proxy settings to simply allow a new connection rather than flashing my ROM to i suppose a T-Mo or custom variant? canot find the screens, only allows DNS and Wdns settings. Obviously this is the rom that everyone is having problems CID unlocking, but i have heard around that the rom could be downgraded and then CID unlocked using lokiwiz02B, tried this using Cingular_RUU_1[1].8.11.1.WWE.ship and the installer told me it was not an up to date version, and i needed a newer installer to do this, no progress bar, and the PPC displays the 3 color bootloader screen and freezes. battery out, battery in reboots fine. Honestly, im looking for a little help in which direction to go, do i need (or is it possible?) to put a different rom on this device? and is this what i need to do to enable the settings i desire? (i use the 5.99 T Mobile Web package on my Nokia 9300 (also unlocked) and it works fine) If so, how exactly do i work this since the installers i can find don't seem to work...? Thank you for taking the time to read this post and thanks in advance for any help.
Anyone have any ideas?

I have in mind a program that does what Sprite Backup does - unlocking SIM during reboot (aka Soft Reset) without the user having to tap in the password everytime.
This need came about because I have both a SIM password *and* a phone password and it's getting tiresome having to tap in both passwords after every soft reset.
If anyone could find a program that performs this function it'd be greatly appreciated.

Whats wrong with going into settings => phone and settings => lock and removing them? I don't understand why you need a program to accomplish this as it's built in (at least in the HTC branded TyTN II with a UK Vodafone SIM).
the reason for the two passwords is to lock two assets - firstly the phone, then the SIM card. but even if both are the same, the phone still asks for its entry TWICE, every time the phone's rebooted. the problem is made even worse if you have a large number of startup programs - it might be more than 1 minute before the phone's ready to accept the second password (of the SIM). give it a try, you'll see what I mean.

I don't understand how this can be of benifit if you want a system that automatically puts in the required passwords. I have a 'lightly loaded' setup and don't use a password on either the SIM or phone - but then I don't have any secret/confidential data. If I did have confidential data on my TyTN II, I wouldn't want a password thats automatically entered on boot. I'd also put as much of the sensitive stuff as possible on the memory card and use encryption. I have tried locking my phone with a password in the past (just playing about) but if my phone is stolen/gets into the wrong hands, I'd have it and its SIM blocked by my operator.
Maybe I'm missing something here but if you want a program to automatically enter your phone and SIM PIN, then why even have the password in the first place? The purpose of either PIN is to lock out the use of either your phone or the SIM card. If I steal your phone and s/r and you have a program automatically enter your PIN passwords, then it's just like not having a PIN at all. There is no security there.
You're asking for a program to defeat the reason the passwords are there for in the first place.

Glad I'm not the only one who cant figure this out! tandy279 you do know how to remove the passwords dont you?
Hey guys on my 6800 when dialing a number it says what state the area code is, how can i get this feature on my Tilt?? thank you
and is it possible to have it while calling in?? thanks
I think that's just a Sprint feature.
I used to have it on my cell phone with Sprint, and you say you have it on your Mogul now. I've had Windows Mobile phones on T-Mobile and now AT&T, and neither has it.
Someone correct me if you've ever seen the state name displayed next to a phone number on the screen of any phone other than Sprint.
Yeah almost all my sprint phones had that feature, damnit i find it rather usefull sometimes when i refuse to answer a call and find out who it can possibly be.. Well if anyone knows how to get this on our phones, i know they have it for the mogul, so it must be somewhere in the rom...
Sometimes I am amazed at the lack of applications for WM5/WM6 versus the Palm. I had a Treo before the Tilt and no matter what, there seemed to be a program for everything, including AreaCodes. When I cam to Windows, I assumed there would be 1,000's more, but it is simply not true!
Sorry for that......
You would think it would be pretty simple... just have the phone display the state name matched from a list of all the area codes and their states...
Maybe someone can cook a cab? I would if i know how to do it
Ok I have the AT&T Tilt obviously and I have been trying to get the operator names that I entered to show up. It still says AT&T on the "Home" Tab and on the "Wirless" tab. But when I set the phone to manually let me search for a tower and it shows the networks available it shows the names I have entered into the OperatorNames folder. Also when I change AT&T(310-410) to say sucks after restart it will swith back to AT&T in the registry. I also tried changing the registry HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting ONSDisplayRule to 0,1,2,3 originally it was on 4. and still no luck. Am I missing something. And yes I am positive the registry edits are done correctly(did it on the Cingular 8125). And no the phone is not unlocked. *Update* the operator names folder was there already with the registry AT&T(310-410) if deleted it still shows AT&T and returns upon restart. Maybe somebody knows something I don't or I just happen to have a lemon.
Nobody have anything, no idea, well has anyone else had a problem when changing there operator name and it keeps coming back, that could be a start???
Sounds like ATT is your operator. I don't think you can just change that.
Not trying to switch the "Operator" from AT&T to say T-Mobile, just trying to get the Name AT&T changed to say Cingular. But each time I change the registry 310-410 from AT&T to Cingular, it only shows Cingular in the Manual Selection box, but not on the Today Screen. So what I am saying is that it does work, but does NOT show different on the Today Screen. And Resets back to AT&T in the registry on soft-reset. There must be some edit somewhere in the registry to keep it from changing names on the today screen and change back on reset. The Personalizer cab worked, but what I am really looking for is the phone to show me which network I am using and not just AT&T all the time.
What I'm saying is I don't think you can do that.

Yeah, but ATT/Cingular devices are setup to override that and show every network as ATT/Cingular. There is a setting in the phone to read the network name from the phone, or from the SIM, by default ATT phones read the network name from the SIM, and all of their SIM cards are programmed to show all networks as either ATT or Cingular for the older ones. Its not a big deal though, its just the network name. My unhacked phones all read AT&T, most of my hacked phones all read Cingular.

Maybe Jay can shine some more light on it.
Yea that makes sense I kinda wondered that. Ok then maybe you might know a little bit more why I can take that same sim card and put it in my Cingular 8125 and yes it does say Cingular for the network, but it will also show, for instance in my area, iWireless when it does roam over.
Maybe that phone isn't as locked down as the tilt???
So there probably is a way it just hasn't been found.
So does unlocking the phone change anything?? Or what about non AT&T Tilt Kaiser's do they have the same issue?? Its obviously something that AT&T installs on the setup of the device and puts some settings in the boot registry to block it. Where does the "Home" tab get the Provider Name from because I can get the "Wireless" tab to change, but am unsuccessful on the Home tab unless you use the personalizer.
I've been having a problem where I would swap ESN's on Sprint for another phone and then go back to the Android Vogue and notice data would not be working. In WM there is an Update Profile icon that can reinitiate this. Is there something similar for Android? If not, how do you guys suggest getting data working for someone who swaps phones back and forth often?
Run Android from SD. AFAIK, we don't even have access to the operator settings like in WM.
That's what I thought. I still prefer to run it straight from NAND though I take you guys just flash to WM and then back to Android in order to get data working?
I run from SD, but that is correct. Though I don't think most people swap phones like that. Do becareful with doing too many flashes though as some people attribute it to killing their phones.
Ok so you repaired the Vogue's esn? The problem is that your data setting and passwords are different on your Vogue. I don't know if your android rom has epst. Go to the phone and dial ##778#, if it works you can see your settings. Just try to match them as close as possible to your currently working phone. To edit these values you will need your SPC (msl codes). Typically for phone you need to enter your MDN #(your phone #) and your MSID #. For data you need to match up your MIP settings, MIP Default profile and MIP Custumer Profile 1. Just step through all the settings and match them up with the original phone. Since both are Sprint phones their should not be that many differences.
In the past I have just done a reinstall of an Offical WinMo image from Sprint then get data and phone working. For data go into Settings, phone, internet settings, and run that (I can't remember what the function is called). That should provision your data. Once you are up and running then you should be able to flash back to Android and be fine. In provisioning this way, there may be an issue where it changes your passwords and your original phone may not have data. I have had it happen where both phones would work and sometimes the data on the original does not work. You can dial ##778# in both and compare to make sure they are the same.
If you go into the WinMo section and search you can find information about getting data to work. If you don't find it there try going into the Mogul WinMo section and search. Getting data to work on a WinMo was very common issue when flashing different Roms and is virtually the same process for all WinMo phones. On the WinMo side it's been pretty thoroughly covered on XDA and PPCGEEKS.
You could try a search at mobile-files.us and mobile-files.com. They tend to cover a lot of what you are doing here.
EPST is a executable file that comes with the WinMo roms and is usually in the Windows folder.
I wonder if someone could actually re-code a new version that would work on Droid/Linux?
How do the new Droid phones that come from Sprint get programmed?
I haven't tried this yet, but I wonder if you're just switching back and forth if you really need the provisioning. I've switched back with the flash back to WinMo method, but noticed that the MSID and other data is already still in there. It does go through a data provisioning process of some sort, so maybe it is necessary. But still, if it's already been activated on the phone number previously, it seems like there's some slim chance it might not be necessary to flash back to WM to do a simple ESN swap back.
Has anyone tried it? I'll probably try out my TP2 on Android for a few days again soon now that sound is working, but then get frustrated by the parts that still don't work well and flash back to the Vogue again. So maybe I'll try it then if nobody else has.
You need to switch back to windows mobile in order to activate, even if the phone has the mdn and msid programed in it still has a provisioning code it sends out so you can activate it but you just won't have data
