Market enabler interferes with network location

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use market enabler
2. Use network location (Google Maps, etc.)
3. Wrong/no location is displayed

Network location works by querying Google's databse with the network and
cell ID. Spoofing MCC/MNC interferes with this; apparently cell IDs are
only unique within a given network.

The solution is to only set gsm.sim.operator.* and not gsm.operator.*. This
works for me, and although I'm not 100% sure, I'd argue that it should
always work, because otherwise one wouldn't have access to paid apps when
roaming in another country.

Agree that not all settings are needed, I will see exactly which settings have 
to be
changed for v3.

I didn't had this issue with the location.

I tested a little bit and the only settings that are needed in fact is the
gsm.sim.operator.numeric and no other settings.
It is like you said and in new version I will just change this value and hope 
they
don't change the location algo in next market release that's (maybe)comming 
with 1.6.

This issue is long time overdue, so I made a short fix to it
See v.3.0.3 (http://ul.to/hmdsd0), now it just changes one param ;-)
