Help! Unlocked Tilt Problems
i recently purchased a tilt online and it is brand new everything is fine with the phone but i unlocked the phone because my company switched from att to tmobile, so before i unlocked the phone my att 3g sim card worked fine with the phone, wifi worked fine 3g icon came up in network bubble at the top taskbar...but after i unlocked the phone and placed the tmobile sim card in the tilt, no Edge or gpsr icon shows up at the top next to the signal strength icon and when i click on wifi and go online everything works fine but after i go back to commanager to turn off the wifi....the wifi icon doesnnt go away from the top taskbar..its just shows the no signal wifi icon when the wifi is off. So then i took the tmobile sim card out and placed the cingular sim back in the phone and when i click on the wifi button and then press it again in commanager to turn wifi off the icon, it goes away like normal....so is there something wrong with my tmobile sim card? which is why its not showing any edge or gprs icons for some reason? even though i dont have a data plan i should see when i am in an edge area...what is annoying me the most is when i place this tmobile sim in the tilt, the wifi icon wont go away when the wifi is being turned off in wireless manager. PLz help this is very strange and i cant seem to find out how to gain these icons and lose the wifi icon when wifi isnt on.
wow are u serious nobody has had prblems with the wifi icon not going away or any other icons not going away when there not supposed to be turned on? ..this is a huge forum i know i can find someone to help me figure out why this tmmobile sim card is doing this to my phone and not allowing the wifi icon to go away from the top task bar when i go into comm manager and press the wifi off button it doesnt work...the wifi radio itself turns off and theres no data being sent to the phone from the wireless router but the icon stays on the phone and the only way to get rid of the icon is to go in comm manager and press the phone button to turn of all connections to my phone. This problem only occurs with my current tmobile sim card which is being used in an ATT 8925 unlocked tilt PLZ somebody help me get rid of this problem

I am not one to help because I am also a noob and your issues are not ones I have seen. BUT - let me give you what help I can:
Recommendations -
1. use punctuation.
2. use concrete sentences
3. specifically tell what you did and enumerate each problem separately
4. indicate what ROM you are using
5. indicate what changes you made to your phone AFTER you went to the TMOBILE card
Now - here are some guesses -
1. you had an AT&T phone with AT&T connection strings - and you think that unlocking the phone and simply putting in a TMOBILE card will make the phone work?
My guess is that you are going to have to change some data connection strings at least? AT&T is not going to allow you to use media net to surf the internet with no contract using a TMobile card.
Remember - you are asking people to use their spare time to help you fix YOUR screwup. Make it easy for them to read and help you.

You should not start more than one thread asking for help - you not only will not get helped - you will need an asbestos suit...
Here is your other thread:

BTW: you are still not using puctuation to its best use and carriage returns to make your questions identifiable and easy to read.
Duplicate / redundant threads merged.
If you want us to help you, please take the time to use punctuation.
Thanks!

moegdaog:
run this cab file on your phone and after doing a Soft Reset, go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connection Setup and choose T-Mobile from the list if the program doesnt run on its own.
Thanks to Dutty for putting this together for us to share with the ones not familiar with it.
that didnt work...all it did was add tmobile data to my connections. My wifi icon still doesnt go away from top taskbar when i turn wifi off. Since i unlocked this att phone an im using a tmobile sim card, do u think i should install the official tmobile windows mobile 6 for HTC phones? seems that this tmobile sim card is the culperate of making this wifi error, because when i take this sim out and place an old cingular sim in the phone it doesnt do this error. Wifi turns off when its suppose to and no icons hang around. If anybody has ever heard of this problem plz help...i dont want to go to the last resort of switching to WM 6.1 right now or something i like WM6

I will bet that you are not going to get help -
1. you use run on sentences that are VERY difficult to read
2. you do not specifically state your problem or goal
3. you state "that did not work" you do not QUOTE what you were trying so no one knows what THAT is (although I am suspecting that you ran the suggested cab file)
You need to:
1. use EXPLICIT SHORT sentences
2. engage the CARRIAGE RETURN KEY
3. enumerate your issues
4. tell us what you want to happen - we CANNOT guess what you have hosed up
5. Not an expert - so you will need someone else to tell you that this is true - but each company "brands the device and makes it so that the phone works with their system. If you are leaving AT&T and going with TMOBILE I suspect that you MAY need to flash to a ROM that works specifically with TMOBILE BUT
SPECIFICALLY STATE what you want - for example:
I have an HTC TILT - it was an AT&T phone and I want it to work on TMOBILE -
Currently - nothing works on the phone and here is what i have done.....
or
Currently everything works on the phone EXCEPT...
Just my opinion and I am going to quit responding to your message (which you may actually appreciate) as it is obvious that they have no effect.

dood whk im not in english class....im on an online forum trying to get help to fix my phone..get a clue or get a life cuz obviously u have nothing better to do but tell people to use punctuation when im obviously not worried about how i type in a freakin forum u jerkoff...and for have this thread up for a week and getting limited help on what i ACTUALLY NEED HELP ON MY ATT TILT AND WHY A TMOBILE SIM MAKES MY WIFI ICON NOT GO AWAY WHEN IM DONE WITH WIFI AND TRY TO TURN IT OFF..THE DATA STOPS BUT THE ICON DOESNT GO AWAY FROM THE TOP OF MY PHONE...IT JUST STOPS SEARCHING FOR SERVICE WHEN I PRESS THE WIFI OFF BUTTON...there, so i guess i need to use a new rom and flash a radio or wutever that is....that conection setup cab only put tmobile data in my conections. It did nothing to switch att defaults in the phone to tmobile, thnx anywayz guy who gave me that app....if anyone has had these issues with tmobile sims plz respond and not reply with english lessons
well no one is goin to read that type of garbage if its just one bigass blurb of words together...i'm with whk...and caps doesnt help either...maybe thats why no one wants to help u...and if u cant be bothered about the way u type...we cant be bothered to give u assistance ...just a headsup
well i solvd the problem myself by changing radios...thats all sommebody had to say..some of you arre a buncha idiots like whk....i didnt post this thread to get grammer lessons, i posted to get some damn help you morons so if u wana tell people how to type go to a fckin word proccessing forum u flamers
Good luck here in the forums, if you can't manage to follow something as basic as proper grammar and spelling, no one will bother reading what you have to say.
I for one, read MAYBE the first sentence in your posts apart from the last, and I'm certain I'm not alone.
and FYI, a better attitude will get you along ways here if you intend to stay. Your current attitude could likely result in a ban, and that causes issues when you need help.
dood....
You really need to read the links in my signature BEFORE you waste any more time on this forum.
I seriously suspect this is not the place for you as we actually expect you to have 3rd grade or better communications skills. Several members have attempted to help you but you don't seem to grasp simple concepts.
Thread closed as it is pointless. I would suggest you spend some time reading the forums if you really want to solve YOUR problems. The answers you seek can be found using search (and better language skills).
Thread closed due to rudeness!
moegdaog - consider this an official warning!
Please use polite language or you will be banned.
And in the future consider this simple fact:
No one can see your device so if you don't do your best to describe the problem no one can help you.
Also big chunks of continues text are hard to read and most people just give up.
Try to break up you posts in the future.
Hi,
I have just been to Belguim. During this time a new white triange icon was shown on the top bar. What is it for? Nothing happened when I clicked on it. After return, it disappeared.
Thanks
pretty sure it's the roaming icon.
Yeah that is the roaming icon, had it when I went to Cuba too.
how to disable that icon
anyone know how to disable that roaming icon because my operator carier being merge to another one and now that annoying icon always show on my screen even im not roaming
You need a new SIM card which is from your merged carrier.
i'm pretty sure theres a registry hack for that, but can't seem to find the thread right now... anyone?

Note that this is a workaround, and will disable the roaming icon even when you are actually roaming... just remember the bills
looks like thats the reg hack i need.. because there is no more roaming by my carrier in all over my country here,so i dont need that annoying white triangle anymore. But ill go to my CS carier first,hope they can do something. thx guys
oh.. some my apps keeps telling me that im roaming at start up. will that hack solve this prob? hmmm i dont think so.. anyone can help? (just in case my CS cant do something,like usual)
Thanks for all the replies
Hello,
I got ignored everywhere I posted this issue in nightly threads and such, so I decided to make my own thread about it.
So here it is:
My carrier is Vidéotron and my plan is unlimited calls/texts in my "zone" which is the Greater Montreal area.
So, the problem is that, in my notification bar, I have a notification with the icon of a SIM card saying "Zone" when I'm in my zone (Montreal) and "..." when I lost signal or "Partner" if it goes on the Rogers network. This notification keeps staying there and doesn't go away no matter how many times I click it. BTW, clicking it does nothing at all except close the notification bar -_-
This does NOT happen on the stock ROM and only happens on CyanogenMod (both 6 and 7). That said, I did try MIUI but completely forgot if the icon was there...although I am about 85% sure it was there. Any ideas on how to disable that notification? It's quite annoying, especially in landscape mode where it takes so much space in my notification bar for nothing...
Last thing: This DOES happen to all Vidéotron customers on CyanogenMod
Thank you for any help you may provide
It's a long shot, and the only idea I've got, but do you have settings>cyanogenmod settings>user interface>date and provider settings checked and or unchecked?

Thanks for the reply!
That setting is nonexistent in CM 7, so can't really test it on this one, but I remember I had tried that several times while I was on CM 6 and it didn't do anything except remove my carrier's name from the lockscreen and/or notification bar.
I don't think it's really a feature since it seems that only Videotron customers are experiencing this thing...I believe it could be in the way the SIM card handles the roaming status...must be somewhere deep down in the code
If you or someone else come up with an idea, I'll be glad to hear it
If not, I'll probably post a ticket on the Cyanogen bug tracker or so...

Wow, thanks Rusty!
Worked perfectly!
I'll go announce that on the Videotron forum, the people will be glad to fix that too
BTW, does it have any impact on anything else? What is that file used for exactly?
Again, thanks!
It's the SIM Tool Kit app, some mobile banking things need it apparently, but it's something left out of the stock ROM so can't be that great.

I see. Thanks a lot for the info and for the fix, really appreciated

Zone remover
FYI
This app removes the zone icon (sim card) from the notification bar of the phone. This is a common situation for customer of Videotron to determinate if the customer is in his Zone or not.

Hi,can anyone tell me what the notification number means on my phone (No.1).I have had my phone for over a month and it has been there since the first time i switched it on from new.I have been looking at other members homescreens and no one else seems to have this? Picture of my homecreen will show you what i mean
regards mick
I think it's indicating what Line you are using on your phone
Some operators like Orange give you the ability to have 2 phone numbers/lines on 1 simcard
Cannot understand why it would be that as i have had the same sim card/same network on PAYG for years in lots of other phones aswell,strange but i need to know how to get rid of it sick of seeing it now.
Well i tried a different sim card and the number is still in the notification bar! Anyone else have any idea what it could be?
Not got a clue pal, i've never seen that before.
Does factory resetting your phone get rid of it? If not it's probably sim-card related.

yes, can confirm that..although LG´s way to implement this in statusbar is very odd..
Found it under settings/additional settings there is an option to select line 1 or 2 but no option to remove it from notification area.By selecting line 2 it just says call settings error unexpected response from network.If i call my network would they be able to do anything to remove the double line setting if it has anything to do with my sim?
thanks to all replies
mick
to get rid of that, I would:
- edit frameworks
or
- make a morph
How do i do that? bit of a newbie still learning,phone is rooted and running Modaco's custom rom FR15 but any chance of explaining more on editing framework ?

First, try manually connecting to your carrier. Settings -> Mobile Network -> Network Operators -> Search Networks
That will take a minute and then display a list of carriers networks you can connect to. Choose the one assigned to your SIM and see if that works.

Are you sure the SIM card is working and inside properly? Maybe try taking it out, blowing out the slot, wiping the card with rubbing alcohol and putting it back in.

Works fine on my infuse and dad sim doesn't work on it either so idk
I tried what you said about blowing on the sim card slot for a few minutes and it showed up for like 3secs as att and umts
Might need to have the sim reset up with the phone since its lte and the infuse is not , seems like the network will recognise what ph the sim is in and may adjust idk for sure just a thought , or try to reinstall the software and see what happens.

Have you tried removing and cleaning your SIM, and maybe getting your carrier to replace the SIM? Something besides the software must be messed up if you get the same results on different ROMS with full wipes in between...
