Hello,

Let me explain the situation.

Free is the name of a new provider in France.

He has antennas to cover 30% of the country, the other 70% are covered by an other provider (Orange).

Free has payed 1 billion to Orange to be allowed to use their antennas.

I'm a new customer on Free. To use fully the Free network, Free asks us to enable the roaming data. So when you're not covered by Free's antenna, you are switched on the Orange antenna (and roaming).

The sim operator is 20815 (Free)

The Orange operator is 20801

When I'm in roaming I seeing in the status bar a "R" and I can't know on which speed I am. E ? 3G? H ?

I want modify the behavior of the roaming to tell the system that network 20801 is not roaming, and is like the standard network 20815.

I know I should hack the base layer in Android to do that.

Cyanogen rom has an option "national roaming", but I want a more specific kind of roaming and I want be able to distribute it easily on lots of rom to help french user.

Do you have any advice or solution for me ?

Thanks

fake_home_on in spn-conf.xml seems to be a good solution.

But unfortunately, on ICS fake_home_on seems unsupported.

Any information about that ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Diaoul:
I would be interested in a solution too on ICS. There must be a configuration file somewhere...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raphman:
Hello,

I'm on FreeMobile too. My Galaxy S (GT i9000) have also the same problem. Before putting the FreeMobile SIM into my phone, I was having 3 days of capacity, and now only 1 little day. I was on gingerbread 2.3.3 with speedMod Kernel (ext4 lag fix).

After a few searches, here is what I found :

The GSM 11.11 Specs defines how the Home Public Land Mobile Network (HPLMN) is searched & found, if the current Antenna is not an operator antenna : There is a search period defined into the SIM (not re-writable). (look at 10.2.5 in (1) )

If you look at the doc TS GSM 02.11 in 3GPP specs, the base calculation is 6 minutes, and in the FreeMobile SIM, the value for HPLMN search period is 5 (it's what Rani Assaf answers to me by email - freemobile technical director).

So the HPLMN search period is 30 minutes ( 5 x 6min ), which is the default value. The behavior of HPLMN search, and fallback on roaming mobile network is defined in GSM & 3GPP specs, and is implemented into radio. There is no way to control or hack this behavior (as far as I know).

This HPLMN search period value is not intensive, so it may only drop 5% of total capacity. (tests have to be done, but I believe it's not the main problem).

So there may be others problems...

So I looked at others options, and found on Android release notes that gingerbread 2.3.4 fixes a battery capacity problem.

So I flash my phone to the last official kernel XXJVT (2.3.6 Gingerbread) (2) which is not available on Kies (the most up-to-date on Kies is the 2.3.3) and the last SpeedModKernel (3).

Then I wipe all data from boot menu, I charged the battery at 100%, then and I reboot and wiped battery stats.

Since yesterday, I only used 13% of battery, for 8h50 on battery, without making calls. The last night, I loose about 50% of my battery in 6 / 7h...

So It seems that I found my normal battery behavior with this way.

If anything strange happens, I will report on this post.

Bests,

Answering to the roaming part

The 'R' in national roaming is related to a bug which has been fixed in recent versions of android.

See Android issue #3499 on code.google.com.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagnaCore:
If its a full data wipe then you have to restore the apps. If your upgrading from a previous nightly then they should be there using cache/dalvick wipe.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] withinboredom:
I live on a boat, and wanted to use my phone as a gps source with opencpn ... turns out it wasn't too hard. Thought I'd share with the class.

You'll need com0com or some other virtual com modem. Either that, or send it directly out to a nmea 2.3 network over serial.

com0com 64bit download: available here

com0com 32bit download: available here

2 Scenarios are available, to use with software on your computer:

1. Download and install com0com for your computer architecture, the drivers are not signed by Microsoft so it will warn you of this, just say install anyway.

2. Sideload the xap to your phone

3. Run connector provided with the gpskit attachment.

4. Run the app on the phone, taking care to ensure the device is tethered to the computer being used and Zune is running.

5. Press enable.

6. If everything is running fine, you should see updates from the phone in the connector console window.

7. Running Google Earth:

- Start Google Earth

- Click Tools->GPS

- Select the realtime tab

- Set up options or just use the defaults

7. Setting up OpenCPN

- Start OpenCPN

- Click the wrench icon (toolbox)

- Select the GPS Tab

- type into the NMEA Data source the other com port (if you are using defaults: CNCB0)

8. Track away at your position

To use with an existing NMEA Network:

1. Sideload the xap to the phone

2. Start the gpskit client on the computer, and enter 9060 as the default service port and the com address of the NMEA connector that is connected to the computer.

3. Run the app on the phone ensuring that it is connected to the computer by usb and Zune is running.

And that's it, you can use your WP7 device as an external GPS device.

gpskit command line:

gpskit.exe [-p service port -c serial port] [-v] [-s]

-s must be supplied if -p and -c are provided

-v turns on verbosity and debug messages

Good hunting

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andrew-in-woking:
Further instructions needed I think

Hi withinboredom

I'm still can not seem to get this to work. Here is what I did:

Disabled UAC and put Windows 7 into Test Mode to allow unsigned drivers

Installed 64-bit version of com0com

Renamed the two virtual ports to COM17 and COM18 using the com0com graphical setup utility

Sideloaded the App onto my phone, started it and enabled the service

Started GPSKit.exe

In the command line window I set the service port to 9060 and set the Serial Port to COM17

I did not get any information showing up from the phone

Opened Google Earth and set GPS to realtime tracking

When I clicked "Start" it scanned through the ports and stopped at "reading COM17" but did not seem to provide any GPS information.

I followed the same procedure again but this time set the Serial Port to COM18 in the GPSKit.exe command line window which lead to the same result.

Can you please tell me what I have done wrong?

Thanks

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] withinboredom:
Make sure Zune is running and recognizing the phone before starting the service on the computer. Also make sure that pressing enable is the LAST thing you do before starting google earth (if you push it too early, you can press it again to start the connection over again - good for force refreshing the position if the phone decides to stop getting it.)

No position with opencpn or maxsea

Hi

this is the perfect solution for me, but i cant get a location with opencpn or maxsea. with google earth it is working. any ideas?

I can see that opencpn recieves data from gps, but cant show position.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] eldstado:
I found someone with the same problem at opencpn forums. This problem is fixed in the latest beta of Opencpn.

It may have something to do with this:

"I suspect the NMEA sentences do not have CR/LF line endings. They may have only CR, or only LF.

For instance, GPRMC will be "Unrecognized" if the line endings are not correct, although it looks right to the eye."

Any chance you could check this? if this is fixed i can also use this with maxsea.

At least I hope something like that happens. Although I still get great battery life on my original razr with moderate usage. So it was not imperative that I get a phone with a bigger battery.

I purchased the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx on Friday, cause there were no regular Razr's left. I paid the same price as you would pay for a regular Droid razr. What's different. The battery does last alot longer i mean really alot longer. I already rooted my phone with the newest OTA update. All files that can be used on the Razr can be used on the Razr Maxx....fast boot files, ROMs and also Razr tools. Nothing else is different though except the battery life. I purchased it on Friday and did a full battery charge with a stock rooted ROM no battery tweaks and moderate usage. I charged it up again for the first time early Monday morning around 5am. So i say thats not bad especially since i was running 4g and no battery tweaks ie. setcpu etc.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Seihaku:
Appears to be the same to me, before the software update the Droid Razr Maxx even says "Device Name: Droid Razr" in the About section (after the update the Maxx was added).

I received the phone, updated to 2.3.6 and rooted with no problem.

I really like the battery life with 4G on, absolutely love it with 4G off (it lasted me 3 days of solid use when I opt'd to try out 3G only, and I still had plenty left.)

Although not been using my HD2 for the last two months after getting the Galaxy Note, however on my HD2 I have been using the very light ROM called CLEANEX RV for the last one year or so,and should say was very satisfied, very stable and fast never hung on me even foronce, one advantage is that it starts with over 280 Mb of free internal space, the only thing that I have done is to install couple of missing apps like the Market.

Its interesting that after using my GNote for two months now I can say that the only advantage it has over the HD2 are the applications graphical quality their abundance and screen size,believe me or not but I had applications on my HD2 which are more efficient than Android or IOS.!!

Sorry for straying away from the subject but I think that its pity that Microsoft has abandoned such a great and mature OS dumping millions of loyal WM users in the result.

- ability to search a name by typing part of the name on the num. key pad.

& on the email app:

- ability to search emails in the inbox.

- ability to sort emails.

- ability to MOVE emails to other folder.

again, I don't want to download and install crap from the market. because i tried alot of them but none can completely solve the issue and provide what im looking for . plus they add a load on the droid. I want a native built-in ROM app.

thanks for any help.
