Hello fellow tweakers,
I recently changed from provider. My current provider (tringg.nl) is using the network of an other provider (kpn.nl) in our country. This is called, what i know, national roaming.
The problem is that my HTC HD2 cannot see the difference between national and international roaming. Therefore I cannot forbid my phone to connect to foreign country providers. And I keep seeing that ugly roaming icon in the taskbar.
Does somebody have the same issue?
Or does someone have a solution to this?
Is there some way to change/overwrite the home network provider?
Thanks,
mrG1985
HTC HD2 (LEO)
With latest ChuckyROM WM6.5.x (WWE)
I hear people say that the iphone does not see this as roaming.
So how can we make this work on Windows Mobile aswell?
Anybody?
What you should do is download an app called 'dial up enabler/disabler gprs' (search for it on this site). Each time you go abroad you will have to manually turn off your data connection, but it works for me.
In the apps like Twitter, Weather, etc. you can check allow to download when roaming.
Dio, thanks for your reply.
I am aware of this app but i would like to fix the root cause.
There must be a way to modify the home network.
For the time being i will have to set every thing to roaming allowed.

Hi,
is there a way to read (e.g. from registry or RIL) the Roaming Status?
I want let an app know, if I'm roaming or not and based on that info,
decide whether to let my app download something or not.
If I can do the above mentioned stuff, can I also recognize, if I'm doing national or international roaming?

I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I wanted to start it here, since all other threads are bombered with "i want the htc touch weather applet"... and explanation on how to add cities.
This thread is to discuss any findings about why T-Mobile USA (and some UK) customers can never get updates via GPRS/Edge.
Almost a perfect device, but always these small annoying issues that SHOULD work, but never do.

I wanted to open a thread about this. This is a weird problem. One thing we know is not about the ports. This is really weird but my weather has updated twice over GPRS. I never noticed when it does it. Any proffesional help is appreciated.
I think this thread needs to go somewhere else because it is something general.
I am also seeing the same issues with T-Mobile USA. I am able to load Cities when I am connected to a PC or via Wifi, but not over Edge.
Weird
I was out on vacation the whole week and the weirdest thing happened. It updated my forecast. Just once, and didn't do it since. I wonder if it's tower/location specific. And yes, I have update when roaming enabled.
I am having the same exact problem, it updates when I active snyc, but not over GPRS- and I am on Tmobile also.
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this yet? It would make this app so much better being able to receive weather updates on the go via gprs/edge. I am having the same issue on tmobile, only able to update weather via active sync or wifi.

not yet. someone please contact the pda department and ask them to investigate further, although I think they wont do anything since the htc home plug is not meant for use with tmobile usa.
I just called T-Mobile's PDA support. They ran some diagnostics and told me that everything is fine on their end.
They said that if we can browse the web then we must be able to update the weather plugin.
One thing I did notice is that if I open the following link from my PDA it gets all the information:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|NY|NEW%20YORK
This link is what the weather plugin uses.
My touch is from the UK and in Canada the phone always shows roaming. As such what I have found is that I need to have BOTH "auto download" AND "roaming downloads" enabled to causes the plugin to "automatically" refresh the data.
The refresh does not happen as you would think howerver ( ie, in the background ) but rather when you switch to the weather display. If the last download was older than a preset age, it will download the latest weather conditions.
With roaming downloads or auto download disabled I have to force a download (ie refresh weather data) by manually clicking on the elapse time displayed next to the city name.
Where do I configure HTC Weather to use a proxy?
This problem reminds me of the days when everyone besides T-Mo users could access Google results pages. I think the consensus was that there was some incompatibility with MTU settings. It could be that this is the case here too.
Just found a fix here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Step 1 worked for me...! Weather now updating via GPRS/EDGE
EDIT: I just unistalled the HTC Home cab and only copied across the HTC Home dll and it works as well. No need to run the host software.
Are you really using T-Mobile's proxy connection for this?

Nope, blackberry plan. Shouldn't technically matter though, if you're using the proxy you could point to the guys server via pocket hosts.
Cheers,

I'm still not able to get this to work. I think there are 2 things going on here for those which require T-Mo's proxy. First, is the T-Mo network problem in general that you seem to have been able to get around, and secondly, forcing the app to use T-Mobile's proxy, b/c all traffic must use that to use the wap APN.
Which servers are you using to get this to work over the internet APN?
make sure your apn says: wap.voicestream.com
username:
password:
leave username and password blank
try this, it may work

Dear friends, before I begin with the details of Airtel Live, I wish to thank everyone at XDA-Developers for working on ROMs, fixes and the support that is being provided here.
Special thanks to dsixda for producing Onyx 3.0 because of which my HTC Touch Elfin (P3452) rocks even more.
Now regarding Airtel Live service: Airtel Live is free GPRS service that Airtel provides to its customer with a catch i.e. as per Airtel, you can only access http://live.airtelworld.com for downloading latest ringtones, games, wallpapers, videos etc.
If you call Airtel Customer Support to get Live on your HTC Touch, they tell you that it is not supported on any Windows Mobile phone and suggest you to go for Airtel Mobile office, full GPRS service for a monthly rental of Rs. 499 (USD 12).
After googling and fighting with Airtel, I managed to get the correct settings and I am able to run Airtel Live as well access most of the websites on standard HTTP protocol (SSL is not supported). Google Maps also works for me.
On Windows Mobile 6.x, the steps to configure are as follows:
1. Activate Airtel Live by sending the following SMS to 121: MASALA ACTIVE.
2. The service takes atleast 3-4 hours to get active. Restart the phone and resume configuring.
3. Tap Start -> Settings.
4. Select Connections Tab and tap Connections.
5. Select Advanced Tab, tap Select Networks button to bring up Network Management.
6. Under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" drop down, tap the New button.
7. In the General Tab, type the name of the settings as Airtel Live
8. Select Modem tab, tap New...
9. Type the name of connection as Airtel Live, select the modem as Cellular Line (GPRS) and tap Next.
10. Type Access Point Name as airtelfun.com and tap next.
11. Leave username, password and domain blank and tap finish.
12. Select Proxy Settings tab. Tap "This network connects to the Internet". This should enable the next check box option.
13. Tap "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet".
14. Type the proxy server as: 100.1.200.99 and then tap Advanced...
15. Tap HTTP, leave the server as 100.1.200.99 and change the port to 8080
16. Similarly tap WAP, Secure WAP and Socks, type the server as 100.1.200.99 but leave the port to defaults. These are optional settings.
17. Tap OK to close the Advanced proxy setup screen.
18. Tap OK to close the New connection screen.
19. The network management screen should now list the new connection you have created in the drop-down. Tap OK to close this screen
20. Tap OK to close the connection screen.
Now you are ready to fire your favourite browser. I have tested this on PIE as well as Opera 9.5 and it works for me.
If PIE reports "Request not authorized by the WAP Gateway", you will need to change the user-agent to anything you can think of using "Advanced Config" tool (thanks to dsixda for suggesting this). I had set it to HTCP3452_Mozilla/4.0 under Advanced Config -> Internet Explorer -> User Agent Custom Base.
I think Airtel has intentionally blocked Mozilla/4.0 user-agent on WM phones. It may be that they cannot restrict Windows Mobile based phones from accessing websites on standard HTTP. On other phones I had tried, I could not get other sites to work with the same settings.
Enjoy Airtel Live for free.
first of all the easy way for all airtel settings is to go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427092
and the Airtel is not 100% free.
they hv blocked the most popular servers like gmail, orkut, indiatimes, yahoo. and also u can not transfer more than 2mb data at a single page or file.
Are there any charges for using the Airtel Live service?
Like downloading weather updates for your rom?

Right, I will take the risk.
(I don't suppose you know the code for 'Deactivating' Airtel Live if they do charge? I had a bad run in with !dea and I want to cover all my bases before starting. I am on Prepaid.)

Does Airtel Live work on HTC Touch P3450 ??
Hi eshwarn...
After a lot of survey on net, I decided to buy HTC Touch P3450, bcoz i wasvery much impressed with it.. But just yesterday I read on a forum that it does not support FREE Airtel live, But supports CHARGED Mobile office.. Also Airtel customer care told me the same. so i was disappointed. I held my decision of purchase..
But now after going through your post, I am happy that i can use Airtel Live. Just want to confirm that, you have tested it on P3452.. Will the same setting work for P3450 as well or not.. If is does, I will go immediately and buy the handset... So I request for your prompt reply..
If there is some different settings for Touch P3450, then please post the same.. I will be really thankful to you..
Regards

I have used the cab provided by krishan2207 and I am getting charged for Airtel Live. I am on Prepaid and using a Maharashtra card (you might get different results for other circles).
I am going to try inputting the settings as given by eshwarn. Let's see if I get charged?
EDIT: I am being charged even manually entering the settings as given by eshwarn. I guess Airtel Maharashtra have figured out the settings and are charging.
Hi charusen...
I am having airtel postpaid connection in bangalore. I was about to buy HTC touch, but i came to know about this Airtel Live issue..
Please reply if you (or any of your friends) get any luck on getting Airtel Live for free on HTC Touch.. Its the only issue i have delayed buying Touch
Thanks and regards

Hi Kalpesh
None of my friends use a WM phone (they prefer some backward brand called 'Nokia' - is that a china mobile?)
Different circles might have different results re free Airtel Live access, but to let you know by my expereince, I got charged for using both the setting version (manually entering and cab). This looks like a dead end for me (at least for the Maharashtra and Goa circle).
Good look in finding someone in your circle.

u can get airtel live free on touch across all India on both pre and postpaid connections .
Subscribing to Airtel Live is free (as in there is no daily/monthly fee) BUT when you start downloading content, you start getting charged.
I input the above settings; started Google Maps and was charged for downloading the information. Same with getting weather updates for touchflo. I hope you guys are not getting charged for content downloaded?
I am on airtel postpaid and it works fine on my HTC Touch Elfin (P3542).
It used to work for me on the stock ROM and it is working for me on Onyx 3.0 ROM as well. Use Krishan's customized Network Wizard posted here.

If they charge me, I shall screw them as it was their customer care who told me that it will not work on HTC Touch (infact all WM powered phone).
Why should I pay for what as per them does not work!!!
I even tried Krishan's cab.
I would check my balance before starting, load up a Google Maps page then disconnect and check my balance again.
Airtel would be deducting me 30paise, 60paise etc... depending on how big the page is.
Even tried it with updating the weather on touchflo. Same thing, money would get deducted from the balance.
Keep an eye out on your bills, if Airtel have figured out this bypass, they might start charging you guys as well.
Good Luck
guys from 2003 i m using it for free on my prepaid connection. my balance remain intact.
HI
I have touch P3452
I have tried both methods, steps suggested by eshwarn and .cab file from krishnan.... option of cab file does not work but 1st option works. I can browse thru airtel live... Mine is postpaid connection and i m yet to get monthly bill wherein i can check if i m being charged...
But the biggest problem is, once i switch of device of change SIM card, all settings are lost and 'airtel live' connection does not show up.... Its really very troublesome to manually enter setting on every power up..
Pls suggest solution for this.
I wud also want to know, which sites are CHARGED under FREE airtel live.. (yahoo and google are charge.. but is orkut also charged?? what r charges ??)
this trick doest work with airtel kerala circle
Hey Friends...I was using Airtel Live to access other sites and sync my office mail to my Touch. I called up the customer care today & asked them. They said that you will be able to access other websites using Airtel Live but you will be charged 30paise/20kb downloaded...Am from Chennai...Have to check out if this is correct in my next billing cycle..I am a postpaid user...
Hi out there,
searching for a while now. Found nothing, but CommMgrPro which is way to much.
I search for a simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming and enable it back when logged into my provider again.
Would be nice to have more than one "home" provider.
Any hints? Thanks and happy holidays.
the simplest way is change your mobile while roaming
i was surprised that my htc touchpro activate
data communication automatically while i
had disactivated data com before.
Modaco NoData
Thanks. At least a simple way to enable and disable.
My problem is that i live close to the boarder (germany/france) and that i flip into roaming here really fast.
An automatic solution is needed very urgend.
Locking to my provider is ok, but the htc asks me what provider to join, when back.
All that sucks.
I cant believe that there is no solution.
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that?
Nobody?
Nobody else who got this problem and nobody who got a solution?
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that? The documentation is bad.

Maybe you can PM danielherrero.
He's the creator of CommMgrPro.
I am very interested in this as well - and from my searching seems a lot of others would be interested in an automated system.
My network provider automatically roams to another specific provider when in a non-coverage area (small pockets within metro areas and rural). The problem is that the data cost when roaming is ridiculous. I use Push Email for work and while on roaming want GPRS access to be disabled until I am connected back with my provider.
I've installed NoData by MoDaCo which is good but this requires the user to remember to enable/disable GPRS.
*EDIT*
I found exactly what I needed after a more searching - Wombat's PhoneRoam Script (Stay Connected to High Speed Networks Only). Will see whether it does the job

I agree to have more that only one network provider. Here in Belgium we can subscribe to Vodafone passport that enable to use "free" of charge the data on any Vodafone network, but when I go in France it switch to other provider and in that case my push mail is expensive... I'm also in the boarder of France.
So basicaly :
1/ A very very simple prg that disable the data automatically if roaming.
2/ A version 2 that would put all permited network provider even if roaming.
Thanks
This thing exists for the iPhone. Its a simple switch in the interface.
You can select "Data-Roaming" on/off, thats all.
Where is it in WM?

Modaco is fine but when you are at the border is quite difficult to follow your carrier and disable data time by time...or even remember you are switching to another country after few km and you always have one app trying to connect (Tomtom, weather, opening a mail...)
Modaco it's what I use actually but let me forget stressing an unwanted roaming data connection...
a+
Used NoData and application is still able to connect...
Hi,
I switched off all data connections in the registry (using frost Advanced Config, than also tried NoData) and in general windows mobile apps aren't able to connect... but I have a one third party application, which is somehow able to ignore that and connect even when the data connection is toggled to DISABLED...
Any ideas how to REALLY disable data connections (for roaming)...
here is the automatic solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
this will automatically disable ALL data in roaming and re-enable under home provider without any user configuration - nothing to toggle
Hi guys
So I have been looking over the forums quite abit but have not found a solution
Currently I am using Nodata.cab which works fine if I disable my connection and only use wireless its fine and dandy... However I have the following problems
Work provide me with 100mb of 3G data
Aswell as that my provider in australia I get free
Roaming/3G Email
Romaing/3G Facebook
everything else on roaming costs money, I live in a non 3g area and my work is also located in a non 3G area.
What i need is something like the nodata app that allows me to make an acception for an application. Mainly I want email to work for work reasons, i couldnt care less for facebook. As I need to set email to download every 30 minutes.
Since my old work phone (Samsung Innov8) allowed me to choose the access point for applications on launch I didnt mind setting my main APN as my 3G/Roaming APN before my wireless for email.
I currently have a HTC Diamond
