Claude brief
HN 热门故事「Show HN: Carrier-Explode: iPhone, Pixel and Galaxy carrier settings decoded」进入今日前列，值得先打开原文和讨论串判断它真正有价值的部分。

Showing off carrier-explode, one of my side projects that continuously archives carrier settings for all major phone brands.carrier-explode also contains decoders and explanations for all the common baseband configurations, etc.There’s still quite a bit of work to be done in checking my assumptions, but the tool has already been proven useful for a few enthusiast groups.

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).Apple/AT&T still haven't released any kind of statement addressing the issue other than to replace affected hardware.
This is super cool. Particularly for the fact that it just showed my country's operators rather than the usual America First. reply: 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.It's sad that phone companies allow carriers such anti-user things. reply: Did you buy your phone through the carrier?There are apps that can act as a SOCKS proxy for limited hotspottivity. Probably mostly on Android.
It would be great to contribute whatever's applicable to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-inf... reply: Probably not a good idea if you used AI in any way to help with obtaining this info, they will ban you at the tiniest whif of you using AI
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? reply: No, but you can automate rejecting an incoming call with Tasker
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!
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.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.https://github.com/denysvitali/ca-combos-editor
Reminds me of the CDMA days when the qualcom software got leaked
How did you build the UI? Is it custom?
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?
very interesting here is my carrier for instance https://carrierexplode.com/ios/carriers/Free_fr/72.0/setting...
just amazing - good work!...and wonder what kinds of settings "restrictive regimes" will useI could imagine stuff like com.apple.voicemail.imap use SSL => false
