I have a T-Mobile account and an android smart phone that includes hotspot service with them. The app that authenticates that uses my phone number to check against the database of phones that are allowed.
Now I know we have the ability to fake an IMEI, but can we also fake a mobile number so my nook color can sign into my hotspot account?

I'm a bit confused regarding your situation. I suppose my situation may differ from yours but all works for me. I have a mytouch 4g with the wifi hotspot app and have no issues connecting my nook and (or) any other pc or phone to my wifi hotspot.

He's asking if it's possible to configure his Nook to masquerade as his phone, rather than tethering to his phone first.
Settings, Call Settings, Additional Settings, My phone number
Believe it helps my NC use my Fios apps that appear to require a valid number
You've got it right. Want to make the nook pretend to be my phone.

I successfully use this technique via the call settings to enter a phone number to get the fios remote app to work, BUT I find the phone number entered doesn't stick to well. It always seems to revert to unknown after some time which can be from a few hours to a few days of use.
I suspect the number is cached somewhere but then the OS decides to refresh it from a non-existent SIM and it gets lost. Currently I have to check the phone number each time before firing up the fios remote app.
Anybody else experience this or know how to make this setting stick.
Hi,
Recently my Brother-in-law brought LG Prada KU5400 from Korea.He upgraded to ICS (version v20d) in Korea. Now iam using with BSNL 3G sim. Mobile network settings are not automatically installing,hence i’ve installed Access point names Manually, by copying from another Android Phone’s access point settings..phone calling is working well and GPRS is working with only 50Kbps speed. 3G and EDGE networks are not working! all other features are working good, except 3G and EDGE! I tried several another sim cards like Airtel,Vodafone,Docomo,Idea etc..still no use.
what should i do to work 3G and EDGE networks in my Phone in India?
I request you to please suggest me what to do regarding my problem. I very much thankful if you suggest solution.
Regards

another option is to factory reset your x201
on first boot select "change" on the SIM detection popup
scroll down and select data
select you carrier
wait for it to register to the network and back out of the screen
Checking you APN can be done by doing the following;

Select the APN currently in use
Verify all setting are correct by referring to your carrier or another known working device on the same carrier.

This happens on ATT (dunno about other carriers) when you transplant a sim for a different phone/device. ATT will block data because the IMEI's dont match what they think they should be. Customer service or a store can fix you up.
Does not happen on ATT prepaid alternet AIO, nor on prepaid T-Mobile $30/5gig plans.

Now as open source!
Github: https://github.com/CazeW/RoamingControl
I'm releasing the source code as I no longer have a device that I can test the app with. Hopefully it will be of use for someone.
Roaming Control
Are you tired of having the R icon in the notification bar instead of showing the connection speed? Do you have a mobile plan that allows you to use it in certain countries like you were at home? Do you want to enjoy roaming in certain countries/networks but don't want to allow roaming everywhere?
Then this app is for you.
This started as a personal project for something that I needed myself but decided to make it a proper app for everyone to enjoy.
What this app allows you to do is:
Allow national roaming on virtual networks (to get rid of the R icon when being home)
Force phone into roaming mode on domestic networks that aren't the home network.
Add on which specific networks you want to allow roaming
Add in which countries you want to allow roaming (this will allow roaming on all the networks in those countries)
Dual-SIM support with separate rules for both SIMs (Lollipop 5.1 and onwards).
What this app doesn't do is just remove the R icon and show the connection speed.
If you add your current network or country when being abroad, you are roaming and it is your responsibility to keep your phonebill in check.
INFORMATION FOR USERS ON ANDROID PIE
I have tested this app with Magisk 18.1 and with the EdXposed Magisk module and confirmed it working at least on a OnePlus 6T. You may have to toggle the roaming system setting on and off (or leave it on) to get a data connection after a reboot.

Just have to restart system ui to disable R icon
Two questions;
1) Location of source code? I'd like to contribute.
2) Some phones (like Nexus 5) are having problems recognizing that they *are* roaming in certain circumstances. Can this be used to FORCE it into recognizing that it *is* roaming?

Shouldn't need to restart SystemUI, it should dissappear on its own after a while or if you can't wait, just toggle airplane mode on and off.

For now the source code is just on my computer, haven't yet looked into releasing it.
You mean that there are circumstances where the phone is roaming, but the R isn't showing up and the phone thinks it's on the home network when it in fact is on a foreign network (also not blocking the data connection as it should because of this)? If that's the question, then no, that doesn't currently work. It is however easily implemented.
Basicly what the app does now is to make the phone think it's not roaming when in fact it is (hence why it should be used carefully not to add the wrong networks/countries), but it can as easily be made to work in the other direction, to make the phone think it's roaming even though it is on the home network.
This is fantastic. I will test it on my Nexus 6P on T-Mobile when I am roaming again in Canada.
One related thing I have been hoping to see in an Xposed module that forces the data connection type display to stay on when the WiFi is connected as well. I hate that I cannot tell whether my phone is on LTE, H+, H, or GSM when I have an active WiFi connection.
@CazeW: great, thanks ! That is something I am looking for since a long time.
Will it work for Dual Sim too? (running CM12.1)

I looked into this and have now added the Force roaming option to the app. I have however no way of testing this myself so I'll be relying on feedback if it works. Also, if there's enough interest for it, I could add the option to be able to manually add the networks (like with saved networks) you want to force the phone into roaming mode on.

This should work on dual sim too but I don't have a dual sim phone to test with. I also suspect that the app might enable roaming for both sim cards which probably isn't what most people want.

Hi. My service provider doesn't cover all places in my state,so I have to connect to another service provider in my state where my home network is not available. Basically,I want to switch from my home network to the other network automatically,when my home network is not available. Can this app do that?
And,it does show the Roaming Symbol when I connect to the other network. Please help.

This app won't make your phone automaticly connect to that network. All it can do is that when you connect to it, the roaming symbol won't show up and the phone will think that you're on your home network.
I can't test it on my Lenovo P70-A.

If you don't mind my asking, is it a question of deciding whether or not you want to release the code, or a question of *how* to release it? If the latter, github is ideal. Is github.com/CazeW yours?
If you don't know how to use git, it can have a steep learning curve, but once you are into it, it is an indispensable tool that will change your life. I'd be happy to help you learn it if you need.

That would be an *incredibly* powerful option, especially for users of wacky MVNO's.
One other feature I can think of right now, which kind of is but isn't *entirely* related, would be to ignore signature checks on carrier services. The reason I say that it is related, is because the carrier service controls several aspects of network connection. For example, if you look at GsmServiceStateTracker https://android.googlesource.com/pl...telephony/gsm/GsmServiceStateTracker.java#894 you can see that a big chunk of the roaming control is tied to the Carrier Config, https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/carrier.html
Just breaking the signature check on the Carrier Config would allow a lot of aspects of the network connection to be managed by regular installable packages.
Alternatively, the ability to inject a custom signature into the data read from the UICC would accomplish the same goal.
But of course, like I said, this is not entirely related, since it does break off from *just* messing with the network directly.

Alright, I'll probably implement it in the next version then.
Been wondering if I also should drop the National roaming option and just handle that with Saved roaming. In other words, just have the list of networks/countries where to allow roaming and a list of networks where to block it (put phone in roaming mode). National roaming feels a bit redundant and there are some issues with it. Say for example your phone doesn't recognize the MVNO as your home network, but it allows connecting to other domestic networks where the home network has no coverage. Enabling National roaming would make the phone think that the MVNO is your home network (which is good) but it would also allow roaming on all those other domestic networks (which is bad). This could of course be counteracted then with the list of networks where to block roaming but then it's starting to feel like its getting a bit too messy.

That is interesting and definetily worth a look at but for now it's a feature that would only work on Marshmallow. To get the most out of it, the hacking would also have to be done without the use of Xposed which unfortunately goes beyond my skills.

The way I see the national/domestic roaming option, is that it would be most useful on borderland areas that obtain coverage from one or more domestic networks and one or more international networks. If you know for a fact that you can roam sanely on domestic networks, but international networks will hit you where it hurts, then that would be an easy option to allow roaming on all networks with a matching MCC.
There are certain service providers here (Canada) where this would be useful, since they are not permitted any *actual* domestic roaming, and their local network has multiple MNC's from all of the past network acquisitions, yet they charge something like $5/minute for voice roaming in the USA. So a domestic roaming would allow them to connect to all of the different MNCs that belong to their service provider without risk of roaming on tmobile or att.

Actually, it would be beneficial back to 5.1, when the carrier privilege parts were added; https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/uicc.html
And the beauty of it, is that the non-xposed part of it would actually *not* be a hack. It would just be generating a carrier package declaring the proper intents and privileges, and extending the proper classes.
Thanks a lot, working perfectly on Wiko Stairway (jelly bean), Now my wife can use our Femtocell at house
Your application works on the nexus 6p T-Mobile with purenexus ROM. My roaming was broken beforehand. Enabling it wouldnt get me data and the stupid r on the signal didn't let me know if it was even grabbing data connection nevertheless at what speed. Thanks a million.
I can't find a donate button in app or in your OP? Do you have a link for easy donations?
Hi everyone,
I don't understand very well what this app does. Can it be used to disable national roaming ? i.e. allow device to connect *only* to HPLMN even if other networks could accept us ?
Hi all,
I'm gonna buy an e-Sim, never had one before.
Wondering if, while waiting for my phone number to be moved to the new company E-Sim, if I can set voice calls to Sim and mobile data internet to E-Sim.
Thanks!
Your knowledge about esims is totally wrong they are not what u think about them esim is inbuilt in new smartphones which prevents the use of physical sim card and u can use multiple esims in one device like profiles they just need one time setup
Thanks for your answer.
I don't have knowledge about esims, and that's why I asked esperts.
In any case, I know about profile, multiple profiles (and one profile at a time use on certain devices), my question was a little bit different.
When I had a dual sim phone, I set the first sim for voice and messages and the second sim for mobile data. Second sim had a much better signal and many more Gb plan.
Now I have Pixel6, I have a phisical sim (and my phone numer on it)m and I'm going to buy an e-sim from a different operator. They'll give me unlimited GB, so I thouhgt, while waiting for the old phone number to be transfered on the new e-sim, to use the esim profile for mobile internet data only.
Basically: voice calls: sim 1 (physical sim)
messages: sim 1
Mobile internet data: sim2 (e-sim).
That's what I was asking, is it possible?
Yea everything is possible
U can do it
i am using a esim for voice and a sim for data.
and it pisses me off that i can not talk and surf at the same time.
for me the voice cannot be active and have the data in use at the same time
Is it activated

Strange, my wife is using a P6 with voice on e-SIM and data on physical SIM. So it's possible.
