Locking 3G signal / field test for WP 8.1 - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there, i think anybody haven't tried this on WP 8.1, so this morning i have my L720 updated to 8.1 dev preview, but there's a problem that it STILL cant open the field test function to lock the 3G signal..
In my country the 3G signal really doesn't stable at all, i've found a trick to use, but it didn't work with WP 8.1, it's only for WP 8 (with nativetoast app)..
so anybody has figured out the solution for this ? thanks..

im also looking for a way to access field test. please help

Lumia needs field test update. or some means to lock the signal very badly. whole purpose of smartphone is getting wasted.
The place where i live Assam (india) signal swithes between E, G, H, 3G within no time mostly E. making my life terrible.
Hope some dev create an app like thing soon..

my battery drains quickly as my continuously search for best signal to use. 3g vs LTE vs Edge and it keeps on searching most of the time.
if only we can lock it to 3G only then it would make our life easier

Read the thread in my sig. It covers all OEMs, and has some device specific codes too!

Hope someone can make this work again. Or create something taht will let us access the field test menu again on wp8.1. This is very helpful tool for me since my lte/3g signal is not stable. Thank you.

I'm having L820 with WP8.1 dev preview and I able to lock 3G Only
for all, if you want able to lock 3G, flash your lumia with Vietnam's Firmware you'll get dial ##3282 or ##3282# to access field test, I captured my lumia from ProjectMyScreen and uploaded to Youtube (sorry I can't post the link here because it's my first post since I signup to XDA) try to type "Field Test Lumia 820" on youtube search bar

i'm using it now, so far so good, thanks!
Keeps asking me for a valid internet connection even when I'm on wlan. It's working though... I like it
all I can say is WOW... I saw this technology working on the iPhone and was jealous instantly. Now I can have all that too. I love the business lookup. i am forever trying to find numbers for stuff really quick and it is handy to have maps and directions available as well.
ii cant get past the valid internet screen
no more java midlet... i cant wait to try it. can you mark locations and get directions also?
edit:
i keep getting this annoying error...
"This program requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. In the mean time, please check your signal strength.
(Error: wininetReadError [6])"
and thats with an activesync connection
I just tried it, but found windows live search to be better, it seems more complete

yeah i get that too...its buggy, but its all good...seems to pull up maps quicker than windows live, but live seems more user friendly...
I saw my home with this program, is really good, will be great if another gps program(tomtom, igo, mapopolis...) use this kinds of sat maps. Navteq has very updated the maps in my area, too bad that the program doesn't has more options to cordinate better routes ... Thanks for the link! I never used google before(maps, search don't like it), "Yahoo fan" lol..
No way to bookmark favourites that I can see :-(
Back to MGMaps for me which has more features if a little slow in comparison.
Awesome program! Works outside the US which Live does not.
Did you check out Option > Lookup Contact... so cool.

google has always been great on features so im sure if you give feedback about the issues you've all been having they will be sure to fix/implement fixes.
issue #1, connection error messages
issue #2, no saving map markers
issue #3, no best route solution
as far as i know, the program has a gps option but i have no gps device to test it with. can someone test it with their gps please and report back.

That's what I got too. Undeleted instantly. Even without this bug, I may also undelete it since the MS live map is still much better.
i like it, but there's no option to display turn by turn direction all at once. But overall, it's all good.
Hmm this was working really well on my old rom. Today I upgraded to 3.3.0.0 and now it won't install. It comes back instantly with "installation of googlemaps.cab was unsuccessful". I've tried redownloading and running it from different locations but I get the same error. This is after a fresh rom install with no other apps.
!! Dig !!
I dig it, very quick rather than live search, not only that but sat images updated every so often is a bonus. I get the error (using wm6) connection but click ok and everything still loads with no troubles. I give google thumbs up on this.
Twice as good on BA if you ask my two cents!

Field Test Program

Aloha All,
I can't find the field test program in my tilt. Or maybe it's not there? If it is not where might it get it.
Much Mahalos in advance...
I think this is what you're looking for.
HERE
That's the program that I need. I work for AT&T Operations and will use it to test the network on Kauai. Thanks and mahalo.
No worries .. another satisfied customer

I am not here to be a critic, but man if you really work for AT&T you would know that you don't need the Field Test application to enter into the field test mode. For instance on the AT&T Tilt to enter the field test mode WITHOUT the Field Test application is *#*#364#*#*. Just my thoughts.
OK so is there a way to turn this on via the USB port?
I am looking for the steps to enable a 2nd diagnostic port and have this same data sent out the USB port Can you help me with that?

Very nice, didn't know you could use that code. I ended up making a shortcut icon for it.
Just use Windows Mobile itself!
Set the File Explorer to show all files and navigate to the /Windows folder. There you will find FieldTest.exe , copy it and then navigate to wherever you want and paste as shortcut.

Interesting, Operations huh. So i guess your regional supervisor is jack, Tell him I said hi. Since i cover the northeast region. Not to meddle, but don't you have all the test equipment provided to you by AT&T that is far more extensive than a field test mode on a tilt?? I mean damn go to any tower and use your AT&T provided test equipment, then tap into the switch. Operations HUH, I always thought we go by the name "Field Technician" guess i missed that memo.
test mode cell site id?
I am a contractor that builds cell sites for AT&T in Southern CA. We also install BDA's for customers that have poor indoor coverage. I am using the tilt and cannot figure out how to get the cell site id to show up while in test mode. Is the field test mode capable of showing this? Is there another program that I could install to have this ability? Having this ability would allow me to determine where the cell site is located in order to properly orient the donor antennas when we are doing a field. Also, does anyone have a link for what all the field test information is and what it means? I know most of them but a few of them are new to me. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
MAC

When you work for companies they don't tend to tell their employees stuff like this, during training they probably only told him/her about the field test program because that is what they want them to use.

I use my old Nokia 6600 with CellTrack application installed (http://www.afischer-online.de/sos/celltrack/index.html). It has an internal database created from a .csv file where I have loaded all the cellId, Lac, Network name, Site Name and descrition of all the radiobase station managed by me for my company (I work in Wind tlc).
I immagine an application for my Tytn that collecting the cellId and Lac (and ofcourse signal strenght) could perform a quick search in the database to load other info about name, description and address.
May be someone could write down an application like this?
sorry for bad english..
ciao

CellTrack is great but
CellTrack is great but we need a similar application for Windows mobiles. I am a telco professional as well and so many fellow eng use Kaiser. Sure we have tools as well, but sometimes we like to play with cell infos when we are not at work. Telco is our hobbi as well

Hi there,
is there a posible way to get all info saved to a file as seen in the 'field test' program.

was iphone now Diamond

Hello I am new to this forum as well as windows mobile. I have an original iPhone (not 3G) and while I do believe that as far as function goes it works very well. I saw the diamond at best buy and liked it right away. The smaller size and design got me. SO I now have a few questions:
1. I see an H and very few times its a G but thats only for like a few seconds then it becomes an H again. Why doesn't it say 3G?
2. How do I get flash?
3. MY googles map does not find my locaction.
4. How can I add photos from my computer?
5. what about apps? is there a way and place to add to them.
6. When I am going to return a text message it does not bring up the last text until I close keyboard and re-open it.
7. It will not connect to check my gmail.
I am a noobie at this thing but so far I love it.
Thanks,

HSDPA is much faster than normal 3G so be happy you've got HSDPA coverage!!! I live in an area with mostly crappy edge [E] coverage myself... I have to go to the city to have fast 3G speeds...

You really need to learn how to use a search engine dude, it takes about two second to Google for "gmail windows mobile" to get your answer:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78886
no offence meant to anyone, but i just laughed.
this kinda sums up the whole iPhone/Mac versus WM/PC stereotype thing in one ironic thread.
A happy-go-lucky Apple user expecting everything to be super easy and not having to read the manual because everything just works, and the tired old Windows veterans explaining that you have to think and work harder to get things to run smoothly.
(and that's the polite version of both )
You'll be happy with your Diamond (once you get it sussed!), I think it's a great phone (mostly). You should find almost everything you need to know on these forums, but you will have to search. a bit of effort pays off
You were aware that you need to select go to my location from the menu in google maps? Go over to gmail home page, not gmail itself, you will see a link with specific instructions on setting up an IMAP conection on windows mobile. Follow the instructions exactly and it will work. You dont show 3g because your not connected to it, your connected to hspda which is faster so be glad you got the coverage. Install activesync and allow your phone to finish syncing. Then select explore and mobile device in the window that pops up. Move your photos over to whatever location you want. You will move apps over to the phone in the same manner. I would suggest you create a folder on your internal storage, call it apps or whatever you want and move them there. You can then browse to them on your phone and install. There are a few programs such as.net framework that you execute on your computer with the phone connected via activesync but these are the exception rather than the rule. Most programs will come as a cab and will be executed on the phone. It pays to read up on stuff before you go hog wild or you will be asking how to do a hard reset... I just joined the WM party 3 weeks ago so I understand it can be a little overwhelming but your post is practically begging to get slammed by the do a search queens. If a pathetic old man like me can get most of this figured out anyone can.

Unhide MMS settings on Lumia Icon after Denim
AR2186 said:
Ok, I was able to get it to work using a modified version of the Windows 10TP for non-supported devices work-around. I edited the WPFlights.xml file to replace the "enable tethering" with "Unhide MMS APN". I am now up and running with on AT&T with my Lumia Icon (also tested/working on HTC One M8 for Windows from Verizon).
If you want to do this on your phone, basically follow the instructions here HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks) but replace the WPFlights.xml with the one I have attached. One heads up, I had to install the full version of Fiddler and enable HTTPS before I could install the certificate
Warning: This could brick your phone, so use it at your own risk.
Thanks @RustyGrom r the awesome work you did on the workaround, this is a very powerful tool. Thanks @AlvinPhilemon for the help finding the registry location

Yes, I should have clarified I AM NOT running the Windows 10TP on my Lumia Icon. I only used the method for the inherited permissions so I could write to the registry.
I actually couldn't get this working in Windows 10 TP, only on Windows 8.1 on a Lumia Icon w/ 8.1.1 and an HTC One M8 with 8.1.1

No, don't reset your phone or you will lose it since it reverts back to the original OEM/Carrier settings. I left the XML basically intact except for the last part (see below) because I don't have a lot of experience (computers, and even more so xml/programming, is just a hobby of mine) and I figured it was safer to replace the "Enable Internet Tethering" option than try to add another option below and risk messing up the XML completely.
The Windows Insider App isn't all or nothing like Preview for Developers, so you can choose among a number of different options that seem to write to the registry in different locations or ways. Once you get in the app, you will have a few options. I don't believe it makes any other changes to the registry when you enable the MMS APN with my method, but if someone can find other changes than I will attempt to rewrite the method to make sure that doesn't happen.
Here is the XML that drives the registry change. Its found right at the bottom of the document, and my changes are in bold

I haven't risked updating the Windows Insider app to get it to work at the moment, waiting to see if they can figure out a workaround. That said, there is a thread in the WindowsCentral forums about getting it to work by installing and then deleting Nokia Access Point. Can't vouch for the method, but others have gotten it to work on T-Mobile.
Could anyone be more specific on how to enable those settings on Lumia Icon? I'm using it in Europe and I'm unable to use mms, so any help here is appreciated.
Cheers.

Please make sure you actually read the thread with the instructions, as it is clearly stated how to accomplish the hack. If you have further questions, please be specific.
For the Lumia Icon you need to have: A) Windows 8.1 and B) the OLD version of the Windows Insider app. You can then change the WPFlights.xml file to include the registry keys to unhide the APN. Basically you need to be able to take on write-access to the registry, and the updated Windows Insider app doesn't allow the hack to work.
For other phones with an SD card, you may be able to accomplish the same using the CustomPFD Registry Editor hack.

There is no way to get the MMS APN settings to show up unless you have the old Windows Insider app still and use the method I described. That said, people have had success getting the Icon to work on T-Mobile by hard resetting it without a SIM card in (see Windows Central Lumia Icon forums), inserting the T-Mobile SIM and setting the Internet APN settings. I imagine that could work on your M8 as well, but no guarantees obviously.
I was able to use my Verizon M8 on AT&T through the Windows Insider trick, but it was a bit finicky with SMS.
Hi,
I am a bit new here, but i really appreciate what you guys are doing. I have a question, because I do not succed in what is described here.
Indeed, I have a M8 with WP 8.1.1 (Verizon edition), but when I do the "How to install windows 10" tutorial, with or without your WPFlights.xml file, it failed at step 11: I have nothing except unauthorized, (empty screen under enroll). On the PC i do have "sending custom flighting response".
Can you help me to fix that ? Is it because I do nothave the "old" version of the app that you have mentionned ? How can I get ?
Thanks a lot !

[HELP][BUG?]Can't use "shared connection" feature

Hi everyone,
I think I'm the dumbest of all dumbest because I couldn't find anything about this problem, but here I go.
I have a Nokia Lumia 530 (RM-1017) which I debranded: 059W3P8 was the former product code, and the new one (which I'm using) is 059W552. I'm also running WP8 (8.10.14234.375 concretely).
The main problem here is that I can't use "shared connection" feature, because, as the phone shows, "There's no cellular data connection to share right now", thing that makes me freak out because, as you will see in the uploaded pictures... I have an active internet connection.
I'm desperate and I don't know what else I can do. If someone already had this problem, please share with me/us how can we fix it.
Thanks a lot.
Follow the vcREG thread. Then put a registry editor on and list your keys here
HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Services\ICSSVC\Settings

I can't dump Settings subtree, so I made some screenshots of it:
That all looks good.
I have a different dedicated connection and private connection but I'm with tmobile
There's only a few more keys and it should definitely be working
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}]

I don't have this key

T-mobile throttles my tethering after so many GB so I'm not sure if that plays into it or not.
so you might want to try with it and without it
Let us know if you have success
It has nothing to do with the registry, as I tried with another SIM from a different carrier and surprisingly it worked. I think it's a bug from the APN settings:
For the SIM with the trouble, I had to enter manually APN settings and it didn't work, but for the other SIM I used the default APN settings and it worked without any problem.
I hope WP10 solves this, because I expected a better experience with Lumia phones and Windows Phone...

I have that keys identically, so I think it surely is a bug.
Thanks so much for helping me
interesting... thanks for that update
you can try the access point app updating it might help too.
On my unlocked Lumia 920 (WP 8.0 Amber)I got a weird message saying I didnt have tethering on my plan (which I do)
I downloaded the Spanish (Spain) keyboard and voila it works it seems access point screws up the APN settings on that phone
