there is a triangle icon on top menu area of qtek 9100, to the left of the GPRS symbol. It is not listed in the manual.......cant seem to figure out what it means. Also is there some download/diagram for what the actual locations of symbols are when typing.........obviously because the keyboard is not meant for american keyboard layout....it would be helpful.
Thanks
the triange ususallu means youre on a roaming network (ie abroad) instead of the 'home' network
triangle.....
but i am not abroad.....I am still in the states.
You don't have to necessarity be abroad. You are just connected to a different network other than your main one.
I had the same on mine when associated to WIFI AP, but with no IP provided (broken DHCP)
How do i figure out exactly what network i'm on when the Roaming indicator is there? for example i was driving up to houston the other day and the triangle came up, so i clicked on it, didn't say anything. then i pressed call to see the keypad and it still said cingular on the top. so how am i roaming if still connected to cingular?

That's the operator logo on the call keypad , is just an image
To see on wfhat network you're on tap once the signal indicator
I'm using the Qtek 9100 on T-Mobile's U.S. network, and it always shows the roaming indicator. If you look in the Cingular 8125's extended ROM, you'll find a cab which appears to disable the roaming indicator.
The registry key to disable the indicator permanently is HKLM/drivers/BuiltIn/RIL/DisableRoamingIndicator and set the dword value to 1.
Not sure if this is the correct forum but I want to be able to turn of roaming completely. I have a US G1 on the three UK network with the US RC33 installed and root. I have disabled data roaming. Here in the UK we're too small a country to want to roam! Coverage is usually good enough from a single network. However, I occasionally get the little 'R' symbol on the single strength icon and an annoying prompt saying I need to turn data roaming on because I lost connectivity. I have to go into the settings and manually select the "3" network again.
What I want is to either be connected to three UK or not connected to anything at all. Is there a config file I can edit to allow this? Would the UK RC8 firmware do this for me?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Doesn't a 3-UK SIM try to roam onto O2 though?
You could set the phone WCDMA only and NOT roam onto a GSM network.
Use AnyCut to shorcut Activity: Phone Info
From there under preferred Network Type; set to "WCDMA Only"
HELP!! Roaming signal won't go away
I have an unlocked G1, JF1.41 v 1.1 and i just updated to the RC33...but this also happened when i had RC30 , v 1.0...
I put in my canadian Fido sim card and everything works fine but i have that little "R" on top of my signal strength bar...
I think this means its data roaming? if this is the case...it should be okay (even though its going to bother me) because my service provider says my EDGE/Data is disabled (i do not have a data plan, NOR do i wish to incur any data charges.. i'm fine with my free WIFI ) .
However, if this means im roaming on another network, i dont want to be incuring any long distance charges on my phone EVEN when im using my own FIDO network..
I went to settings - about phone - status, and here are my specs (some of them):
Network: Fido
Network Type: EDGE
Service state: In service
Roaming: Roaming
Data Access: Disconnected
i'm pretty much just concerned about the ROAMING part of it... my other friends with G1's are with rogers, don't have that little R..
how do i get rid of that?? please and thanks!
Try manually changing the network in Settings>Wireless controls>Mobile networks>Operator selection
G1, like all GSM phones, will roam onto networks specified on the SIM if it can get a better signal. As long as the relevant operator has a roaming agreement in place, there's nothing to be concerned about, other than the R symbol in the status bar.
Mod: move this over to General discussion please.
I did change it and selected my Fido network (it's the only network available).
Thanks. I've set it to WCDMA only so I'll see how it goes.
Please help??? i still have that little R on top!
After I got home I found my phone had lost its connection. It didn't seem to be searching for the network. I had to go into settings, search for networks and then select three again. Is there any way to control if the phone does a search for networks automatically?
Looks like it reconnects to three on its own after a while. I still get the annoying popup about turning on data roaming though

As has been previously mentioned, Three will "roam" onto another network if it goes out of Three's own 3G network coverage because Three does not run its own 2G network.
However, it isn't O2 anymore, it is Orange as of late 2006/2007. I *believe* that you won't be charged any more if you use data whilst "roaming" on Orange, so whilst you are in the UK it is quite safe to allow data roaming, but I would be inclined to check this with Three.

Hi there, I've noticed that my phone is always in Roaming mode, ie an R is showing in the signal bars icon. It's really not affecting my phone , because I know that I am not roaming, I am connected to my operator (Claro Honduras) . But I wonder what this is all about (maybe because I am not on T-Mobile) , or if there is a way to fix it. Also because of that I have to keep my Data Roaming setting ON, or I won't be able to access my data plan.

Hello ,
I just bought de SGS (Android 2.1-update1 firmware I9000XXJF3) not hacked / modded or rooted or whatever you guys call it. update1 is from factory. I bought it in Holland, not branded not simlocked.
Eventhough I am in mine normal service area ( I mean not abroad) and even disabled Roaming in settings - wireless and network - Mobile networks - Roaming unchecked, there is the little icon "R" next to the signal strenght bars icon.
I also have 3G disabled and have no access points (servers not synchronized and/or configured).
Internet connection/data transfer goes only via WIFI.
So why the little "R" is hanging over there? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and congrats for this great forum
