On my previous phones there was a setting to display the name of the cell/tower that you were currently connected to alongside the actual network. As you moved around you could see which tower you were currently connected to.
I can not find where on the Kaiser to do this.
Anyone out there know how to do this?
Ta.
You can use several products, like CommMgrPro.
Dani
Thanks Dani.
I could load some 3rd party software but figured there must be a way to do this without having to do so.
On my other phones it was a calss of message (cell broadcast message) and was set up somewhere under messages.
Can anyone help here?
go to settins>>phone>>more>>enable the broadcast channels>>then click on the settings button beside it>> check receive channel list>>select all language option from the drop down>> click on new>>give a channel name say Network and channel no as 50. and you are all set
Thanks Fuzzvirus, that's what I was looking for.
The only problem is that now the phone treats these as text messages and it's continually beeping each time you change cell instead of having it quietly displayed on the today screen!

Where does this cell/tower information appear after doing those things?
May I ask what the purpose is of knowing what towers you are connected to if you can just look at how many bars you have?

It does actually make a lot of difference knowing what tower you're connected to, when you're complaining to your provider about the crappy service!
Here in Australia, our provider Vodafone, will *NOT* even think about investigating any cell faults without this information.
So I'd like to know how to enable the information as well... without receiving text messages or installing some huge program that does far more than I need and takes up valuable screen space.
I'd have to say "me too" in this case.
It doesnt seem to work with AT&T in NA. I've turn on the notification yesterday. I've driving around and no pop ups at all. I checked a few times to make sure that it's enabled but no dice.
not working on SMART Telecom PH or Sun Celluler PH as well. I read that Cell Broadcasting should also be enabled on the Operator side.

Actually you will need to do one more thing, in addition to enabling the receipt of these messages by selecting the broadcast channel in the phone settings. You will need some other tool/program that can display the information that comes in the broadcasts. Otherwise these broadcasts will get treated as SMS messages. For example a simple today plugin like Battery Status (http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm) can do the job. Just check the option to show cell broadcast messages in its General options tab. You will start seeing the name of the cell tower in your today screen.
How about making this native HTC?
Just like Glen 'GTRoberts', I think this is something that shouldn't need an additional program taking up space and doing more than needed. I'll be adding this to my list of issues to post to HTC. Certainly that info was useful back in NZ too for the same reasons and given that it's helpfull if the networks can be told this info when there's a problem, I believe it should be something native to the Windows Mobile platform. Heck if my old as the hills Nokia 5110 can display calling code area information, why cant something light years ahead like the TyTN II cope? Does anyone know of a Windows Mobile device that does provide this info natively?
@Flying Kiwi - I do agree but it appears Microsoft completely left the code out for supporting this.
Given that American's have only just caught on with TXT / SMS' I doubt we'll even see WM7 or WM8 having this support!
BTW given your alias, can I safely assume you are from NZ? I'm from Nelson, top of the south island! (although living in Sydney at mo) Its a small world!!

Hay smjoshi,
That's a good tip on chi-tai tool, I just got it installed and working fine, but i see my device keep waking up(as the new broadcast received). This drains the battery. Is this normal behavior? or something specific to my device(TyTn)?

Yes normal. Anytime the Device Receives any Notification from the Tower (e.g., Incoming Call, SMS, Cell Broadcast." It "Wakes" to handle the Alert.

So I fanally got my Kaiser yesterday And It kicks @$$ XD
I live in Mexico, So it is an unlocked unit, and it recognized my local cel network as soon as I turned it on with the local carrier's sim (telcel).
One problem though: I can receive calls, but not make them... after dialing, I get the call dropped about 5 seconds later without tone that says "Call Ended" with time 00:00.
Anyway to fix this =(
I've tried the search and nothing popped out. Thanks! =)

Sure
Welcome to AT&T.
I left verizon (due to their crippled hardware). I get virtually no signal in various parts of L.A. including my home. You place a call, their signal goes to zero, your call ends.
At least that's my 0:00 story.
I would like to reply to this...because I've been having this problem with AT&T consistently since I've come back to school (I go to school at Texas A&M in College Station)
I guess I could copy and paste a lot of stuff about it, because I've done a lot of posting about it on AT&T's forums...but I'm too lazy so I'll just put the link.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=76225&jump=true
My problem, however, is that when I have this condition, I cannot make OR receive calls (received calls go to voicemail, and although I see that I have a missed call or a voicemail message...I can't call the voicemail or I get Call Ended 00:00)
What I found was that whenever I'd call, the icon in the upper right hand corner (the one with the signal bars) would change from having bars and the phone icon to having bars and the 3g icon...it looks as if the phone TRIED to start dialing as a phone call, but changed to data, which knocked out the call.
If I connected to the internet, then I would get the H sign (so I know that 3g works). If I try to call with the H symbol, then the call connects every time.
If I use bandswitch, then I can eliminate the problem by FORCING the phone to go into 3g (UMTS) mode OR by FORCING the phone to go into Edge (GPRS) mode...the problem only exists when the phone is in auto mode (on bandswitch) or if bandswitch isn't installed. My problem is that bandswitch isn't a free program...so I only have a few more days of the trial before it expires.
I hope my topic on AT&T's forums has some helpful information

It sounds like the information on your SIM card could use an update.
Call AT&T and ask them to send an OTA to your SIM. If you don't have a current IRDB, your phone may not be picking up the correct tower or signal in your area.
I am not actually using it with AT&T... I use it with Telcel, a Mexican Cell Phone Network Service Provider, because it is where I live =).
Anyway, got it to work after a while. I went to Settings (Personal tab) > Phone > Services
I updated the data there; I also "re-found" my network in the network tab, but I'm pretty sure the first procedure got it going.
Tanks for your time.
When my phone was working, I tried to call AT&T locally, but they didn't know what was going on and didn't find anything wrong with the "network"

Under phone settings, there is a tab titled "band" (assuming you have it set to be shown, i think kaiser tweak/ reg editing can expose it) that you can switch between gsm and wcdma (G/E or 3g/H). I had that same problem when i first got my phone. i changed out sim cards a time or 2 and finally got everything working when i manually set the radio to one or the other. I've updated the radio a few times since then, but i still keep the switching manual, in an attempt to conserve battery power (I only need 3g/H when i'm online).
The problem with that is that AT&T branded Tilts never have this tab "band" and kaiser tweak doesn't expose it (I don't know what specific registry edit would expose it)...so I can't just switch between gsm, umts, etc.,
** Of course, I didn't check for an updated version of kaisertweak. One of the topics says it hasn't been updated in a while even though it has?
Yes, even WITH the latest version of kaisertweak and the latest version of the XML, turning on band (and then softreseted to make the options stick) does not make a "band" tab

curious, did you run the decert cab to allow unsigned code to run on your phone? could that be stopping changes from occuring?
heh, time to jump into the 'VOID' then? hardspl it and join the ranks of those who haven't bricked their phones yet! I guess i was lucky to have the band tab on the htc version.
I'm not sure how I would even know if I've run the decert cab or not?
Even though I guess this is the namesake of the site, I wouldn't want to change my ROM even though the AT&T ROM is doubtlessly inefficient as (insert inefficient thing here). To me, unless I know why the problem is happening, then attempting any solution seems counterintuitive (like giving the man the fish instead of teaching him).
So AT&T suggested just randomly sending a new SIM card (yet I know from other people's experiences that that doesn't necessarily end the problem) and AT&T has suggested to others that they get a new device (which has also not necessarily ended the problem.) These are just as shallow solutions until I know why the problem exists in the first place.

Hey Jim,
I wonder how no one has pointed it out till now, but MAYBE it could be a problem with the Radio rom in ur phone.
Have u tried upgrading to a different RADIO? do u know which version it is?
The following radios have been doing great with ppl around here...
1.27.12.17
1.27.12.32
You can download them from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375
Try flashing one of the above mentioned and see if that solves ur problem!
hope this helps!
I guess you were addressing Jim, but I think I simply need to know if 1.27.12.11 for Radio is a known faulty radio (because that's the radio *I* have...so if other people know it to be faulty, then that's great for research)...and why? If so, then that would be the reason why it doesn't work (which is what I'm looking for) and then I'd be willing to switch easily.
But not before then.
Checking the radios topic, it seems as if no one reports a problem with 1.27.12.11
so...I don't know if switching is going to fix anything
I'm putting my problem on hold...it seems like it can transition better now and call out or receive calls better.
I've had the same problem with Telcel until I upgraded my SIM card to a 4.0.
The replacement costs $110 pesos (about $10 USD) and it's a quick and painless procedure!
Note: I still get the occasional call drop, but it improved things dramatically.
Try it out!
Cheers from Tijuana!

my friend, I have the same radio 1.27.12.11
and the same problem.
I just found this topic searching why my phone do not work at 80% of the time, the mobile provider here in argentina recently told me "your phone have a problem" so I'm in crisis.
Let'see what happen updating the rom / radio / etc !!!
Yeah, I've searched. I've used Google to search the site, and the site's native search.
Still can't find it.
I'm looking at leasing a place for at least a year that has land-line access, and cable high speed internet, but no cell service whatsoever. Not even with a Wilson Cell phone range extender.
I've been using my cell for 4 years now, and I want to be able to make and receive calls from my cell, on my cell phone number over the cable high speed internet. Is this possible?
I'd rather free... but a small fee might be acceptable. For work, and personal , in SoCal, most of the calls I make are out of area code. I'm worried about cost/minute if I can't get my cell with its free long distance to work at <potential> home.
Links, thoughts, etc?
Thanks.
Skype perhaps?
Anyway if you're looking at making calls from home just use your pc and voipdiscount - it's free for making calls to US landlines and mobile phones.
cell phone over internet
from what I know,
you could try the german betamax services. They have lots of services under other names : like nonoh.net, voipdiscount.com. THey usually offer great prices, much less than skype, the quality is ranging from good enough to (mostly) very good.
As to using it from your cellphone directly, can be done.
Usually you set a connection between 2 cellphones from the web page, easily done. you can alwasy connect to this page from your cellp. and establish the connection.
there is also some new thing - you call a normal tel. number and then you give the other numeber you wanted to call. Look it up -
nonoh.net
voipdiscount.com
I need to be able to receive calls on my cell phone, at my cell phone number, and need to be able to send calls and have them show up with my number on caller ID at the other end.
It doesn't look like either of those services provide that.
something like this?

Actually, the Betamax VOIP services (like VOIPStunt.com) DO at least some of those things. If you use the phone-to-phone method, you can make a call to someone and it will show your phone number as the caller ID.
I use lowratevoip, havent used it for about 3 weeks, but they are pretty cheap and good when it comes to calling countries in Asia.
I use the [email protected] from Tmobile and its a lifesaver for me.
My gf is a stay at home mom and was able to rack up decent bills/minute usage in the past, all gone since I have hotspot @home
too bad you need a specific phone for it, would be great if they started to support windows mobile.

I have recently just found out there is great life after death of the celluar providers.i recently been disappointed with my celluar service (sprint) and i now programed sipdroid (SIP Calls to any number) it works great. I now have a question and hope i get many answers and replies.
1. Can a wifi security be bypassed so i can connect anywere there is wifi signal?
2. Can my Device be set up to extend a search and recieve input of the wifi signal?
3.Most Craziest Question. Is there a way (APP) to use a signal from gps or Telphone sattelites to continue using wifi anywhere?
4. Can i switch out the custom sprint Call programming with SIP calling ? Im actually working on a rom with that option but i am having much difficulties.
5.Can is there a way to catch up the delay time im having with sipdroid calls?
Im basically looking for apps to help but if it requires programming i dont mind. I paid full price for my phone and very upset with the celluar company. im not looking for a sim card hack either basically because im running a Sprint HTC HERO CDMA with fresh toast 2.1 <rooted> Please Help If you have the answer to any of my question please number them. Thank You, Ryan C.

Yes and no. You'd need to dev some priority level into your connection, but it'd be hit and miss wrt whatever AP and the network that you'd happen to be using as to whether it would honor your priority request.

That's what it sounds like to me too, one of the reasons I didn't reply to the thread initially. Stealing Encrypted Wifi = not cool. Unsecured wifi = cool, steal away. if the owner wasn't smart enough to encrypt it they deserve what they get.
You probably will have very little luck breaking any wifi signal with software on our phone. Hashing out passwords is labor intensive stuff, espeically if you are just brute forcing it.
WEP is the easiest form of the encrytion to break, and very few people use it. Actually the router that I just got doesn't even support it.
WPA has been broken, but I don't know how it works.
WPA2 - Good luck pal.
If you don't know anything about network security, breaking these encryptions is pretty difficult, especially with only one device available and only from outside the network.
Typically people who do break them will use 2 or 3 devices. 1 to Inject packets - another to try and decrypt the key.
This won't turn out well for you, people don't look kindly on this....netiher does law enforcement.

I can vouch for this one
Hi guys I have done some searching but havent been able to find anything so I apologize if this is out there already. I also apologize if this is in the wrong area.
I got a different phone and I want to use my Hero for music, videos etc. I am looking for a ROM that would allow me to disable the baseband radio so I can conserve battery life as I no longer need to make calls. Any suggestions?
Thanks
The best you'll get is either using TB to freeze the phone app, or put in airplane mode.
BANG! from my shooter...
If you download any Cm6,Cm7 or aosp rom could do this. Open up the phone dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
A menu will open up. From that menu choose phone settings. Then scroll down to the bottom of the menu and you will see "Turn off radio".
Hope this helps.

I am in London. It's raining like hell and humid, don't be too envious. I have the radio turned off on the phone and only wifi enabled. My Sprint phone number has been integrated and is now my Google Voice number, so all my texts/voicemails go to GV app. My question is, if I send and receive texts via wifi on GV app, will sprint still charge me for international text messages? The radio and mobile data are definitely off. Thanks.
I have a very stripped down ROM that I might get around to posting tomorrow. Might put the phone apk back in, but have radio off by default.
If you have the radiooptions binary, you can disable the radio using it. It should be in /system/bin/radiooptions

I don't think so being your on wifi and all things connected to sprint are shut down. But if you want to be safe just read upon Google voice and pricing for text and call's internationally. Also give sprint a call to be on the safe side. I can't answer that for a100% but I'm like 99.9% sure if the radio is off you should be good. By the way if you don't mind if you see anything worth a snap shot take a few. And if you also don't mind sharing them in a pm that would be pretty smooth. I wouldn't mind having a few pics of london. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the trip.

Can receive and send texts for free using GV!
16:35:54 : Daisy Y: At this time Google Voice text messaging doesn't support sending and receiving text messages from international numbers, with the exception of Canadian numbers. You can only send and receive text messages to phone numbers in the U.S and Canada.
16:38:00 : nayeem01: ok
16:38:05 : nayeem01: i have a further question
16:38:13 : Daisy Y: Sure.
16:38:56 : nayeem01: i know i can only send texts to US and Canada phone numbers. but I am in Europe at the current time. my phone is off. but i am using google voice on my computer to send text messages. is there a charge for that?
16:39:14 : nayeem01: my google voice number and sprint number are merged.
16:41:04 : Daisy Y: Yes, you will be charged for text @ $0.20 for the text.
16:41:38 : nayeem01: Why is that I am not even using my sprint phone? I am texting from my computer.
16:43:14 : Daisy Y: Let me confirm again.
16:43:19 : Daisy Y: Please give me a moment.
16:45:33 : nayeem01: Ok. My phone is OFF and does not even get service in London so its physically impossible for me to send/receive messages here. But, I can use the Google Voice site to send/receive messages to my normal Sprint number because they are merged. Just want to confirm there's no charge when I am texting from Google's Voice website even though its my Sprint Phone number.
16:46:59 : Daisy Y: Nayeem, you are correct. You will not be charge for the send text via Internet through your computer.
16:47:40 : nayeem01: even though it is using my sprint phone number?
16:47:49 : Daisy Y: Yes.
16:48:16 : nayeem01: Ok. Can you please notate this on my account so if I have any charges next month, I can tell them to read the notes.
16:48:39 : Daisy Y: Yes, I have put the note on your account.

Hi guys I have done some searching but havent been able to find anything so I apologize if this is out there already. I also apologize if this is in the wrong area.
I got a different phone and I want to use my Hero for music, videos etc. I am looking for a ROM that would allow me to disable the baseband radio so I can conserve battery life as I no longer need to make calls. Any suggestions?
Thanks

If you have.a Sense Rom? I believe you can press *#*#4636#*#* through your phones Dialer. From there you'll be brought to a Menu where you could choose Phone Info
and Try to Turn Off the phones Radio! Try that....
Good Luck!
now, what about going as far as actually removing phone functionality from the rom altogether? what apks and files need to be removed?
Anyone made a ROM without radio?
Getting my new phone tomorrow, and want to make my phone completetly without radio, to use as a mediaplayer for use in my car.

There is no ROM without radio. Radio is not a part of the ROM, but a part of the software below that level. I could make a completely stripped down ROM that only has what you want in it if you want. You just have to disable your radio yourself.
Sent from my HTC Hero making C.R.E.A.M.
Does anyone know if this will also disable the ability to dial 911?

Yes, if you disable radio all calls and data (not wifi) won't work as it's not connected to any cell towers.
Awsome thanks i let my grand daughter play with it and dont want any suprises.
Hi guys,
Unfortunately, the area i live in has incredibly bad signal for all networks and back with my HTC sensation i used to have a orange signal boost app which enabled me to use something called UNA to make and receive calls through my home WiFi.
Since moving to my lovely new One, I dont have this option. I havent even bothered to get on the phone to Orange as they prove to be useless every time.
After doing a bit of research and playing with my phone, I found out about the Internet Calls within settings but it needs account settings.
Like with the 3g settings, are there some generic orange settings someone would be able to tell me that will enable me to use this feature?
Any help would be greatly received!
Thanks,

The Internet Call feature is for those with accounts with the likes of sipgate. You can make free calls to other SIP numbers but will need to buy credit when dialing normal numbers.

Bugger! Thanks for the reply.
Doesnt look like its happening then!
Do you happen to know if the tmobile wifi calling apk is anywhere available. I've had a search and cant seem to find it. I ask as that seems to be available on the one and TMobile kinda the same as Orange as both owned by EE and I just thought id try a punt at the app also working on orange.

Is this what your referring to?
A quick Google search threw up lots of possible links.

Yeah that's the one, but sorry, i should have been a bit more specific, I meant the apk off a one as it seems to be shipped with the one tmobile branded versions so I figured I would have the best chance with that version.
I'm bumping this thread to see if there are any solutions for this a few months on. I also live in a poor area for reception with Orange / EE, but I do have a decent net connection and WiFi. To make matters worse, I get an equally poor signal at work and constantly have to move my phone around to pick up texts.
The EE website has the following information for those unfamiliar, but the feature isn't currently supported in any ROMs I have tried:

Despite this sounding like a fantastic feature, I can barely find any information on the forums or through Google.
