Frequency band/cell select?

I'm enjoying this ROM a lot. Big improvement from the T-Mobile WM6 ROM.

However, I'd like to know if there's a way to force the phone to only use a certain band, i.e. 900 MHz instead of 1800. Perhaps by using the Resco Registry Editor to add something to the registry?

What would be even better would be to edit the registry to "lock out" a particular cell id/AFRCN. I can get the cell id/AFRCN info of the cell I want to lock out from the engineering mode. The reason for doing this is that a cell will sometimes have no Internet connection and I can't retrieve email, etc. Because it's the strongest cell where I might happen to be, I want to be able to override the "switch to the strongest cell tower" routine of the phone and connect to another tower, although farther away, that does have its Internet connection working properly.

Thank you in advance to anyone who has a solution.

is there any way to change the comm manager that pops up when u hold down the IE key?? i want to change it from the default kavana one to the HTC one
[HTC Excalibur] maxdown:

There is a way to keep data on so you wont have any data "black outs"

on your phone. Here is a little registry hack:

Mobile Device\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\T-Mobile Data

Always on- change the value from (0) to (1)

This will keep the data connection active at all times.

I also change the access point from wap.voicestream.com to internet2.voicestream.com.

Re: Frequency band/cell select

Phatmanxxl,

Thanks for the response!

However, I should have pointed out that I'm not using T-Mobile. I'm actually outside the U.S., using another phone company's sim card.

I did what you recommended anyway, setting the always-on value (in the other phone company's folder under "Connections") to "1". I then soft-reset the phone. I checked the value after the reset and it was still "1". However, it didn't solve the problem.

To get to specifics, in my office building the mobile phone provider has set up a "mini cell tower" with a "leaky cable" antenna throughout the building to improve signal strength. This system is on 1800 MHz while the towers outside the building are 900 MHz. The "leaky cable" system usually has a good Internet connection and I can use it with no problems. However, sometimes the Internet connection becomes disabled. I've had the phone company fix the problem before and they admitted that the problem is on their side. However, sometimes it takes days for them to come out and fix the problem. Thus my desire to cut out 1800 MHz on my phone so it will be forced to connect to a tower outside the building.

So, if you know how to do a manual band select on this ROM, that would be highly appreciated. They should put something in the radio software that gives you an option to reject a handover to a tower that does not have a working data connection. However, from my limited understanding of GSM, it sounds like the cell tower is calling the shots to the handset, not the other way around.

Do people like this more or the new EnergyROM by NRGZ28? Pros/cons of each? Just had to reset my phone and looking to upgrade the ROM again...
[HTC Excalibur] XJeFX:

[HTC Excalibur] Beasting:
you mean the rom on this thread?
[HTC Excalibur] XJeFX:
yep, at least is the most stable.

thanks in advance
[HTC Excalibur] atupeck:
I agree with NRG, I've been using his new Energy ROM and I love it. It is snappy AND stylish. Hoenstly, the best way to find out is to just try them both. I had Kavana's at first, but found that there are some different things out there.
[HTC Excalibur] XJeFX:
hey nrgz, I didn't try all your roms... just the last one, i already told u it is a very good rom... but there still some bugs that makes the rom less stable than kavana's... that's all.

what stable means? mean the system uses the ram appropriately... ex: launch an app then close it and the ram is released.

Sorry if I offended you... as i have written, keep working on that rom and it would be the best rom for the excalibur.

btw: take a look at your thread, u have received a couple of nice supporting messages.

cheers.

every time i click on "storage card" a confirmation screen pops up and says "bluetooth radio is turned off. do you want to turn it on?" it's really annoying..

how do i disable this bluetooth radio prompt and replace it's actions to open my SanDisk memory card?
[HTC Excalibur] whombeartoe:
I agree....the new EnergyROM by NRGZ28 is an awesome ROM! I also like Stylze Vanilla ROM and Kavana. They are are excellent ROMs and the dedication is obvious, but they all have their pros and cons. It would be nice if they joined forces, to create the Ultimate ROM.

I re-read and found someone post that i should run Escalibur USPL to flash.

I ran that as intructed. It then promopted me to start the ROM update

Ran RUU_excalibur update again and now my phone isn't connecting :(

any help appreciated.

Not hearing sounds

I've been using this ROM for a while, and it's been great. However, I recently decided it was time to put music on my MicroSD card and play them with Windows Media Player. When I tried to play them, it said it was playing, but no sound was coming out (WMP volume at 100% and not muted). A long time ago, I played a video I shot with the camera and sound played, but I tried that again recently, and still no sound. Also, in the "Sounds" menu in Settings, when I hit "Play" to preview my e-mail sound/ringtone/etc. sounds, no sound plays. My speakerphone works properly on phone calls, if that helps anything. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the ROM (I don't think anyone else has this problem) or my actual hardware.

Any ideas? Thanks.

[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
No, like random-random. Its never done it before and this isnt the first time Ive used this ROM.

Ill get the first alert, then every few seconds it will alert again randomly, even when after the screen turns off. Also it will continue to alert after I set the profile to silent. It will eventually stop in about 20 mins or so. It only happens with the messaging alerts. Its been about a week now, but I have kept the alerts on silent, only the ringer has sound.

Ill turn them back on to see if its still doing it. Im sure its just a bug in the OS and I doubt there is really a fix for it. Im just waiting for the final release of the Energy ROM before I reflash my phone again.
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
did you install any programs that mess with the alerts? i know phone alarm will mess with it.

Today's appointment showing on home screen as "tomorrow"

I'm using the Skype home screen on my phone with this ROM. This morning when I looked at the appointments bar on the home screen, it said that "tomorrow" I have meeting X at 10 AM. The problem is that the meeting is at 10 AM TODAY, and is in the phone's calendar as such (and also in my office computer's Outlook as such, and the two are sync'd by GPRS/EDGE). The clock and date bar on the home screen read correctly. When I click on the appointment bar, it goes to meeting X on the calendar for today's date, as it should.

The appointment in question is a weekly recurring one. I notice I have the same problem with another recurring appointment on a different day.

It's almost as though the appointments bar is in a different time zone all by itself.

However, today at 7:53 AM I put in a new (non-recurring) appointment for 9 AM today and the appointments bar shows correctly that it is coming up at 9 AM TODAY.

Thanks to anyone who knows of a solution.
[HTC Excalibur] aarons6:
i know its all over the boards but i have not found a solution. my phone with this rom rejects mms messages.. i can send them, but not recieve them.

i have changed the mmsc settings to the correct tmobile ones, i have set it to 8080 port i have set it to either wap, secure wap, or internet.. even work..

nothing seems to work.. any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] aarons6:
ok so ive done some testing and i think i have figured out why its doing this.. but i dont know how to fix it..

it seems if you have the mail client auto checking email, or use the web browser it doesnt shut down the tmobile data, so the mms data cant run when it detects a mms message. so it fails.

there is an option to close the mms data connection when it gets a mms message but no option to close the data connection when it gets done checking for new emails.

any ideas?

happens to me randomly, clock advanced 1 hour every 2-3 weeks randomly .. wierd :confused:

Keyboard Question

Good afternoon Everyone i recently upgraded my htc s621 with the ROM from Kavana and it is awesome. Unfortunately my number keys now act like a none query keyboard where 1-9 all add text like phones with just a number keypad. my symbol and function key no loger work either. Is there any way to get my keyboard to function correctly. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
For flash your rom, the best tool is Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS from Jockyw2001.

Unlock first your telephone with SDA_ApplicationUnlock.

When you have run the Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS (run uspl), it turn white.

When you have the error after flashing your rom disconnect the phone from your PC while it is white en reconnect it again.

Then run the ROMUpdateUtility again.

This will work.

[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
I spent a few hours and almost 45 free MMSs with two Tmo smartphone techs about 2 weeks ago. Learned some interesting stuff...

After setting it up like the carrier says, you do not need to call them. You just need to soft-reset (reboot) the phone. Whether you do this on the phone with them or not, it does not really "re-insert" you in any db. Your phone just has a good chance of catching another tower which will request a fresh update of your mms configs, or even forcing your updated settings onto the existing one, if you catch the same one. Evidently, the cell towers, according to one of the techs, keep "cookies" which expire at some interval, but rebooting, and thus renegotiating the connection almost always cause it to want a fresh one.

If you see no improvement; double, triple check all your settings against their recommendations, and then walk across the street and try again.

You can also, after setting it all up as per the Tmo guide in my sig, go into the registry and change the sending size to 300k. Acording to Tmo WM support, the network is supposed to send and receive files up to 1MB, but most of the phones are manufacturer-hardwired to choke on anything larger than 300k in or out. That's the pat answer for all Tmo US phones, smart or otherwise. Our test transfers of various sizes seemed to indicate this was correct for the dash. Of course, reboot for promptest effect.

Actually, I would love to see the 300k limit added to the K/R ROM, btw, since Tmo US is the carrier of a large number of of the xda-dev rowd. One less thing to remember after flashing.

I suspect this is "manufacturer-hardwired" is actually a coded-limit in the relatively out-of-date embedded ArcSoft MMS client, but I don't know of any leaks of their newer software, the new features, or how to install over the existing. If anyone else has that data, like from newer/fancier phone, I hitnk a lot of us would love a richer MMS engine ...and a little PicturePerfect, too. ;)

[HTC Excalibur] LiverpoolFCfan:
I had a similar issue, and fixed it by going into Activesync and deleting the old reference to the device from Activesync.

Go to File->Mobile Device ... and select the device (if you have more than one), then go to File->Delete Mobile Device

Reconnect your device.

If that does not work, on the device, go into Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC and uncheck the option "Enable advanced network functionality" then reconnect your device again.

If that fails, come back and ask again. Maybe someone else will have some other ideas.
[HTC Excalibur] dewey1973:
On the phone, microSD cards show up under "Storage Card" in the file explorer. In windows, you open the phone by right clicking the ActiveSync icon in the system tray and chosing "Explore." The double-click on "My Windows Mobile-Based Device" and you should see the "Storage Card" folder there.

I hope that answers your question.
