Data access broken on AT&T Wireless (USA) due to MarketAccess setting gsm.* incorrectly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose a different carrier using MarketAccess
2. Restore original provider and verify correct APN settings
3. Handset will no longer connect to any AT&T cellular data service, though 
voice works fine.

What version of the product are you using? On what ROM?

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 JM5 ROM on I897 hardware. Android 2.1-update1.

Please provide any additional information below.

MarketAccess appears to run 'setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha "AT&T"' when 
restoring previously saved settings. However, that property must be an empty 
string in order for the handset to connect to AT&T's wireless data service. 
When I set it as such, the HSDPA connection is restored.

A potential fix would be to save and restore each of the gsm.* properties 
independently and exactly as they are, instead of assuming that 
gsm.sim.operator.alpha == gsm.operator.alpha.

I guess you are wrong. MarketAccess is changing only gsm.sim.operator.numeric 
property, you can verify it at:

Looking at the code, you are right. Something else in the system must have set 
it as a secondary effect. Perhaps it's specific to Galaxy S or JM5 or I am just 
missing something. Thanks for your response.
