How to customise network settings automatically?

One thing I've never been able to figure out is how to customise network settings as the automatic Connection Setup has never worked properly for me.
I'm using Virgin Australia as my operator and the connection setup always detects it as Optus and configures it accordingly.
I then have to go into Connections and change the Access Point it uses to connect (instead of 'internet' it's 'VirginInternet') and then it works fine.
Is there some way I can do this via registry key in my SDconfig.txt or hack the connection setup util to do this properly? (I've tried updated versions of the connsetup too but none of them do it properly).
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

if you have a virgin mobile simcard that should take care of everything for you.

I do, but it doesn't work as I've mentioned.
Maybe it's something to do with my number originally being ported from Optus to Virgin (though I definitely have a Virgin mobile sim).
Funnily enough, the operator is recognised on the front manila tab as Virgin - it's only in the connection setup that it gets it wrong every time, and I'm sick of having to change this manually every rom install.
If anyone has any solution to this problem, let me know.

So how long have you been dealing with this? Have you been billed by Optus for using their network? If the front page is showing virgin mobile I think you should be good. My old Samsung Blackjack used to say i was on Rogers, when in fact it was on Fido, a subsidy of Rogers.... I would call virgin mobile and Optus if I were you to get this sorted out.

No - I'm not getting billed by Optus.
Reason it's defaulting to Optus is that Virgin are using Optus's network in Australia and basically onselling it or whatever the term is. They're like a virtual provider I guess you could say.
I can't use the settings that are auto-configured - it just won't work at all until I change the access point name.
Unfortunately, knowing this doesn't help me at all - hence why I'm trying to find a way to automatically fix this every time I do a rom install - so if we get back to my original question - does anyone know of any way to change the default access point name via a registry change or any way I can 'fix' the connection setup app to do the right thing for my phone.

I Need Help w/ My AT&T Tilt & Different Network Settings!!

Hello All!!
Its been a long time since I've been on here & I am loving all the new stuff I am seeing!!
I need a little bit of help...
I am changing Service Carriers from AT&T to nTelos & I DO NOT want to get a new phone. I LOVE my Tilt & have done SO MUCH custom stuff to make it a little bit more me (I mean Hours upon Hours of Downloads, Programs, Custom S2U2 Battery/Weather/Wallpaper fixes). Just the idea of having to do it all over again makes me want to cry. Is there ANY way I can change my current AT&T network setting so that my phone can be use on the nTelos network? nTelos has the PPC-6800 (which is comparable to the AT&T Tilt so I know that the "Phone" shouldn't be a problem since they support PPC phones) so how do I change the current setting to make it w/ the ntelos Network? Any help anyone can give would be MUCH Appreciated! I am DESPERATE!
Thanks in advance for your time & help!!

Is nTelos GSM? or CDMA?
I got my ATT Tilt to work on my Canadian Carrier by calling my customer support....if your new carrier has a WM phone, they should be able to guide you through setting up the stuff so that MMS and internet works over 3G/Edge/Gprs.
Give it a Try
PS. to move your apps and docs and some settings (if your switching handsets), try using Sprite Backup

nTelos is a cdma network like verizon or sprint att is gsm you can't use gem phone with cdma i hope it helps

[Q] Cannot make calls from my galaxy tab

I just bought the unlocked T-mobile version of the galaxy tab and was trying to make calls, from my AT&t sim card. it reads my sim card and i can connect to the internet and everything is working fine except when i try to make the call it just doesn't connect it it says call ended...
Can somebody please help me regarding this should i have to do some tweaking for this have anyone faced this issue

Same situation ^^^^^^^^^^
It seems as though Ive found my twin on XDA lol......I just purchased an Unlocked Tmous tab froma friend and it's details are as follows:
Model: Gt-P1000
Baseband: t849uvjjb
Kernal: 2.6.32.9 ([email protected] #190)
Build number: Overcome v1.6.3
I want to be able to have calling work as well, (exact same symtoms as OP..)calling starts then "Call Ended" and as of right now, my text messaging and internet (edge network for both of coarse) are working fine. Hell, I even my wireless hotspot, "Mobile AP" in Galaxy speak, works fine. I work for an At&t retailer, and Im rocking a TMO tab lol...wish I could have both 3g data and voice :/..... Where do I start?

Found this in general section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838250

Thanks !!! but i didn't resolve my issue.... any more inputs please i have overcome 2.01 rom as well on galaxy tab i can browse using at&t and make calls with t mobile but i am getting a login page once i try to browse with t mobile

Have you checked your Apn settings? I just got my calling to work on at&t finally, and my sms and data are working great..only on edge data though until I score an at&t tab someday. I merely needed modem file that I found here on xda...ill find the link. (and also thank the appropriate user)
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Yup got it worked but same only on edge trying to make roto's modem switcher to make it work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

At&t and t-mobile don't share the same hardware so they don't get 3g on the others network.

[Q] Unlocked samsung captivate with no 3G

Hey so I unlocked my samsung captivate so that I can use it with my fido sim card, and everything seems to be working except the 3g. I dont really know too much about phones and stuff so if someone could dumb it down for me that would be helpful thanks

Go into Access Point Names(APN's) under Mobile Networks in Wireless & Networks Settings menu and make sure that appropriate APN name entry for Fido is listed there. If it isn't there then add one manually and select it. Also make sure Data Enabled is checked as well. Hope this helps.

[Q] Unlocked AT&T Galaxy Note 4 on T-Mobile?

I just unlocked my AT&T Note 4 and I'm using it on T-Mobile but have some questions.
1. Even though I'm able to make calls on T-Mobile network it doesn't seem to be able to connect to the data. When I shut off Wi-Fi it's not able to connect to internet. Is there some setting I need to change?
2. How do I delete all the AT&T apps? It only allows me to disable.
3. Is there any T-Mobile apps that I need to install?
4. When I go to Settings >> General >> About device >> Software updates it still displays "AT&T Software update". Is there T-Mobile equivalent and how do I make the phone use that?
Thank you.

1) change your apn settings to tmobile
2) you need to root your att note 4 which is not possible at the moment
3) look in play store there are some tmobile apps
4) you can't because your phone is flashed to att.

Thank you for your response!
After inserting the tmobile sim it looks like epc.tmobile.com APN was created. I had to check data roaming option to get the data to work per below TMobile support document. Is this the correct Tmobile APN?
support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2742
Is it possible to flash my AT&T Note with Tmobile image? Another issue I'm seeing is visual voicemail button on the dialer doesn't seem to work with TMobile. I had to install TMobile Visual Voicemail dialer which doesn't come up when I press the button on the phone dialer.
I thought getting the phone unlocked was all I needed to do but it seems there are many other minor issues with using ATT Note 4 on Tmobile. It looks like my wife's AT&T iPhone 6 Plus is working more seamlessly on TMobile.
