This is <i>super</i> cool. Particularly for the fact that it just showed my country's operators rather than the usual America First.
Same, there was a moment of shock to see a list from HN that started with Vietnam, followed quickly by appreciation. Good job, more like this please.
I wonder which field is responsible for disabling the Personal Hotspot feature? About a year ago mine suddenly got disabled in the phone's UI. Since then, the only time it got enabled was when I was traveling and using a travel eSIM.<p>It's sad that phone companies allow carriers such anti-user things.
Mine did the same the other day. I had to toggle airplane mode on and off for it to show again. Probably just an iOS bug if I had to guess.<p>I have mine on an automation to turn on when I get in my car.
Sounds like a bug ?
Did you buy your phone through the carrier?<p>There are apps that can act as a SOCKS proxy for limited hotspottivity. Probably mostly on Android.
I saw this linked from MacRumors during the AT&T iPhone 18 Pro Max lockup news discussions. It was interesting to see what AT&T/Apple did to try to get ahead of the issue. So far it looks like they disabled 5G Standalone mode, possibly just to prevent a bug from literally destroying the hardware (possibly only on one batch of phones).<p>Apple/AT&T still haven't released any kind of statement addressing the issue other than to replace affected hardware.
I straight up returned my iPhone 18 Pro Max last week. This was infuriating. I was having the baseband lock up and drop to SOS Mode on Verizon, so I got an AT&T eSIM (spent money). Same issue, full loss of connectivity 5 times a day requiring a reboot. So I got a T-Mobile eSIM (spent money). Same issue, full loss of connectivity 5 times a day requiring a reboot.<p>Then I read online that ONLY the Pro Max uses a Qualcomm modem and the Pro uses Apple C2. My wife's iPhone Air with C2 has great connectivity, better than my 17 Pro Max did before I swapped it for 18.<p>So I returned the Pro Max, got a Pro, am on T-Mobile full time and my signal strength is good now in buildings that I had 0 or 1 bar before, for years.<p>Fuck Qualcomm.
It would be great to contribute whatever's applicable to <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-info/" rel="nofollow">https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-inf...</a>
What do you use the info you have gathered for? It seems comprehensive but curious as to how you use it?
Can I use these settings to disable incoming calls? Does GrapheneOS have this option at the android level?
You could use SpamBlocker and configure it to block everything. AFAIK you can't do this at the android level. If you don't need outgoing calls either, just use a data-only SIM.
All of them?
No, but you can automate rejecting an incoming call with Tasker
Reminds me of the CDMA days when the qualcom software got leaked
What's more useful, or at least was a while ago, is the CA combos list - basically showing which bands can be aggregated and how.<p>A while ago I built a decoder for that (Qualcomm only!), it was fun and helped me improve the support of my device for my carrier.<p><a href="https://github.com/denysvitali/ca-combos-editor" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/denysvitali/ca-combos-editor</a>
How did you build the UI? Is it custom?
Nice! Thank you for this public service. Phone makers & carriers should be ashamed of themselves for hiding such important configuration behind proprietary formats. If you [lurker] are a decision maker who decided to make our world this way: for shame, for shaaame!
Bible wrote that we wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12) and that satan is the god of this world (2 Cor 4:4) who deceived everyone (Rev 12:9).<p>Regardless of whether one believes this, it’s probably nice to know that rulers have been doing bad things for a long time already.
Good luck with the launch!
Not really sure what to do with the information, but I love the UI.
Are these configs read-only on the phone or is it possible to manipulate them using the data here to de/activate any service?
You can trick iOS into running different bundles for your carrier up until the most recent beta (just fixed)<p>A very common thing to do in Russia for instance where WiFi calling isn’t available: <a href="https://github.com/ios-bundles/CarrierSIM" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ios-bundles/CarrierSIM</a>
Depends on the OS. GrapheneOS can override a bunch of them: <a href="https://grapheneos.org/usage#carrier-settings-overrides" rel="nofollow">https://grapheneos.org/usage#carrier-settings-overrides</a>
very interesting here is my carrier for instance <a href="https://carrierexplode.com/ios/carriers/Free_fr/72.0/settings" rel="nofollow">https://carrierexplode.com/ios/carriers/Free_fr/72.0/setting...</a>
wow
just amazing - good work!<p>...and wonder what kinds of settings "restrictive regimes" will use<p>I could imagine stuff like com.apple.voicemail.imap use SSL => false
bro this is neat
