How to display carrier name in desktop?

[Arlen]

My XV6700 is working in China Unicom, but I can not find the carrier name in the desktop like it worked in Verizon.
Who can tell me how to display "China Unicom" in desktop?

Are you running a Verizon ROM on your XV or a custom ROM from this site? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to be running v2.2 of the OEM ROM, or any custom ROM from ppcgeeks that's 3.3 or later, which includes the Wireless Manager Today screen plugin that displays the carrier banner?

I think it is completely rom based - I ran for over a month with a skin/rom that said sprint, but I'm on verizon...

I've struggling with this problems too, drdrewusaf info about that method only works for GSM ppcphone, not work on cdma,
I even have tried to change the banner in Radio rom using QPST, but still it won't show carrier name, I'm almost given up now..hiks..

even tried with registry change "HKLM/System/State/Phone/Current operator name", but this method doesn't stick.

anybody have the solution for this?

Hi, Dgun,

Yes, it works great with RUIM.
You can use QPST to change "NV only" to "R-UIM if avaliable". For the details, you could add my MSN "Arlen1008@hotmail.com".

Here's the quick and dirty of how you do it (and make it stick):

1. Download QPST and the Qualcomm diagnostic modem driver for the 6700. Install both. Both files can be had from other posts in these forums. I may be able to attach later, however.

2. Press ##3424# (Sprint; other carriers may vary) to put the phone into diag mode

3. Connect to computer via USB. If you have any weirdness, disable USB in ActiveSync

4. Configure your phone's connection/COM port in QPST Configuration

5. Launch Service Programming, included in QPST suite

6. In here, you will find the "banner" parameter, most likely populated with your current carrier that's displayed. Edit and write the new config.

7. Press "Stop" softkey. This will take phone out of diag and reboot.

8. Do your preferred victory dance.

There's some reading you may have to do on the Service Programming screen, but this should do the trick. I have to get ready for work, otherwise this tutorial would be a little more detailed. I can ellaborate further when I get to work if anyone needs help.

For those wondering, I'm running Kirvin's No Junk Sprint ROM.

FYI, I have tried that method, and yes the banner have change, but it still won't display in wireless today, it just blank. but thanks anyway p5yph3r.

Any other idea?
