Hi guys I’m on three network, the triangle roaming sign keeps displaying on the top info bar,
How can i stop the phone from roaming, can I permanently disable it
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks guys
all you need is to download the no-data app it works great and very simple, just turn it on when you want to use your wap, internet, mms ( these are the 3 toggles it has on/off )
@archangels:
NoData cannot control the GSM session and I guess chhabs doen't want to pay roaming fees when he gets called
@chhabs:
Yes you can Go to "Setting" -> "Phone" and choose "manual" (found within "network"). So you get allways connected to your home network but never roam except you want to...

Any seen a program that will disable automatic data roaming? If not any one wanna develop it?? Seems like a useful program to have especially when you're traveling and don't want to pay the crazy roaming fees if you accidentally use your data connection.
Any one? Ideas or software recommend?
I'm also trying to find a program that will automatically disconnect / disable data while roaming.
I live near the border of 2 countries and even though I don't pay roaming for calls, my data is not included in roaming which makes it expensive.
at the moment I use nodata modaco to manually disable my data when I'm going over the border, but then I also have to have the phone service manual to avoid roaming without knowing it and being charged for data .
this is annoying because when I lose coverage I have to select it again manually, which happens a lot living near the border.
thank you very much, dan
PocketMax PhoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) can do this through profiles. I use this feature and it sure makes travelling abroad a lot easier...no need to worry about remembering to disable data services...
thank you for your suggestion. the problem is that, due to the area where I live, I constantly change from my home network to the roaming one, even without knowing (when the service is in automatic mode). if I use profiles to disable my data with phonealarm I would have to change them all the time depending whether I'm in my home network or not. but some times, the network changes even on this side of the border.
I would have thought that some kind of mortscript would be able to disable data as soon as I moved to a foreign network without having to depend on profiles. therefore , I would not have to worry what network I'm with, because at home data would be active, and as soon as roaming kicked in, data would be disabled. thank you, dan

Hi!
I am looking for a tool to prevent data roaming ONLY: I tried Modaco Nodata but with this one you only can deactivate the connections permanentely...
I am here nere the border so sometimes the network is switching over to the one of the next country. I dont want to switch to "manual" network selection because i want to stay reachable... on the other hand, direct push / data connection should only be active in my home network.
Does anyone of you have a similar problem or a solution for this one?
I set my network to home only and when I travel to Michigan I use nodata to keep data turned off... ever since I haven't received any data roaming charges and my data service is on without worrying about roaming... the downside to this is I cannot take advantage of the extended calling area but oh well if I need to call to US with phone I turn data off and then switch to normal mode....
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,
I am leaving for vacation tomorrow and of course I would like to bring my Magic with me. I know there is apps like APNdroid and Toggle Data, but isn't there something in my settings I can untick or stuff like that, so my Magic doesn't use 3G, 2G and other data I need to pay for? I only want it to use Wi-fi, so I don't get a huge bill.
Thanks in advance.
btw, it's the scandinavian/canadien model.

You'll need to contact your network provider.
Go into Comm Manager, select the Phone (not the on/off switch), go to the bottom and select Band. Make sure both are set to Auto. Sometimes this is set to GSM and wont work in America.
Then go to Settings, select All Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Network. Change from Automatic to Manual, then select Find Network. If you can see networks then the problem is with your network provider not allowing you to connect.
Silly question, but have you taken your phone off Airplane Mode in the Comm Manager from the flight?
